Esme's POV
I sighed softly as I lay on mine and Carlisle's bed, worrying about Edward knowing how crushed and broken he has been since Bella left him. I closed my eyes, lost in thought, not hearing Edward walk into the bedroom, only noticing he is there when I feel the bed go down, I quickly open my eyes and sit up looking at Edward, smiles softly "I didn't hear you come in sweetheart..
Ed POV
I slowly made my way out of the woods and towards the house, my mind fixed firmly on Esme. Thinking about how sweet, loving and caring she has been since Bella left me for that, mutt. I always seen Esme as a mother figure and loved her like a mother but now, I was getting other thoughts about her.
I just couldn't get her off my mind over the past few weeks. She has always been there for me before but it's only now that I have realized I have feelings for her. Esme has been in our lives for over ninety years (and also with Carlisle). Before Esme, Carlisle wasn't happy, he worked long hours and I barely ever seen him, but since Esme had came into his life, he was happy and I was happy for him. I didn't want to hurt Carlisle but I couldn't bare to watch him happy with Esme anymore, it was killing me. I wanted Esme every time I saw her, I just wanted to take her in my arms and kiss her. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on and I often found myself daydreaming about her.
I knew I had to do something about it. I just had to.
I made my way into the house and up to Esme's bedroom (thankfully the house was empty) I stood at the door way, watching the angel like figure laying on the bed. I slowly made my way over to the bed and sat down, that's when Esme sat up and softly whispered "I didn't hear you come in, sweetheart..."
God, I loved this woman. She was everything I ever wanted. I looked down before gazing into her eyes "sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. But, I had to see you Esme..." I slowly leaned in closer to her.
Esme's POV
I smiled softly as I watched Edward. I had to admit, I loved Carlisle, more than anything in this whole world but, I was starting to develop feelings for Edward... I was a horrible person. I couldn't hurt Carlisle, I just couldn't. I love him, he give me everything I ever wanted, he was the love of my life, but I couldn't dent it anymore, I love Edward.
I took a deep, shaky breath as Edward leaned in closer to me, and before I knew it, I leaned into him too, until our lips were slightly touching.
