Bella And Edward 1: No Leaving
It was an unusually sunny day in the end o June. I got up from my bed to see that Edward, my vampire fiancé, was not in the wooden rocking chair in the corner of my room where he should be. He promised me he would never leave me, but somehow always finds a way to. At this assumption I was not happy.
"Bella?"
I could never forget that angelic voice that belonged to Eward, the one I loved, it was impossible. It was absolutely irresistible. If it asked me to steal a cookie from the cookie jar, I would surely, without questioning, do it. It was, he was, the only reason why life was worth living. But it was possible to be mad at him, with good reasoning. "I thought you weren't supposed to leave!" I said angrily.
"Calm down, Bella, I just had to go to the bathroom. You know you gotta go when you gotta go.
"Yeah," I admitted. I was thinking of how a vampire would have to go to the bathroom, but that was just a strange concept, since Edward had never used that excuse before.
"So, what do you want to do today?"
I contemplated that question for a moment, thinking about what I wanted to do. I thought about cliff diving, but that was out of the question with Edward. I finally thought of a place I wanted to go. "I think we should go to the meadow."
"Okay, we can do that. But you better tell Charlie first."
"Charlie is still upset about the 'you and me getting married speech' I gave him. I don't think it's such a good idea to tell him anything about you and me."
"But Bella, Charlie would be very unhappy with you if you don't tell him where you're going, especially while you still live in the same house with him."
"I guess you're right, as always."
"Yes, I am always right Bella, because I love you, Bella.
"I love you too, Edward."
With that I took my toiletries to the bathroom upstairs that I had to share with Charlie, to take a shower. If Edward wasn't where I left him, I was going to be so angry. The hot water burned my skin, turning it red, from being cold. The water did feel good, relieving my stress. I stood there for a good ten minutes, washing my body and hair with my favorite, strawberry shampoo, thoroughly, taking time. It was a test to see if Edward would still be where he was standing last. I got out of the shower, dried off and put my soap and shampoo away in my red toiletry bag and headed back to my room. Like I was hoping, Edward was still in the wooden rocking chair in the corner. "So you stayed," I said surprised.
"Of course I stayed! Where did you think I went," he said astonished.
"I don't know. I...thought...ummmm...that you left."
"Don't tell me this is about when I disappeared for two seconds to go to the bathroom!"
"Well it sort of is," I stammered.
"Why?" he asked.
"Well because when I woke up and I couldn't find you and I thought when I couldn't find you that you left me." For some odd reason I felt tears streaming down my face.
"Bella, don't you know that I wouldn't leave you for the world? I love you so much Bella. I won't leave you ever in all eternity."
He cam closer to me and gave me hug and then he kissed me softly on the lips. We stood there for a moment, in the quiet peacefulness of my bedroom. Then the phone rang and I went to answer it, but he stopped me right before I even got to touch the phone.
