Entwined
- - -
Our hands were entwined.
It was a beautiful sight, even though his hand was nothing short of flawless and mine was, well, human, with embarrassingly stubby fingernails that had been bitten far too often.
Nothing could take this away from us, not anymore. This beautiful perfection, this eternal love – it was ours for forever. We'd had our dark times, and we'd unquestionably have more, but we would always have each other.
"Tell me what you're thinking," Edward said suddenly, his velvet voice interrupting – but not destroying – the peaceful silence that had settled between us. "And don't edit, please."
"You're always so curious," I teased. "You can read everyone else's thoughts – shouldn't that be enough?"
He smirked. "Of course it isn't. Your thoughts are more important than anyone else's." He paused before adding, "Besides, I'm insatiable."
"Yes, you are."
Edward probed me with his eyes – golden today, and just as irresistible as ever. "What are you thinking?" he queried again. "When you avoid the question, it always makes me nervous."
I grinned. "I'm thinking that you're being incredibly nosy."
"Silly Bella," he chuckled, and then, abruptly, his unbelievably perfect face became temptingly persuasive. "Just tell me, please."
"I was thinking about how happy I am," I told him, opting for honesty as I always did in his company. "Now I know – I really know, I mean – that you love me, and you know I feel the exact same, too."
His answering smile was brilliant. "It's a wonderful feeling, being in love."
"You're telling me," I laughed.
"Bella Swan," Edward murmured, gazing at me with an affectionate look.
I rested my head on his shoulder, sighing contentedly. "Edward Cullen," I replied cheerfully.
"I love you, Bella."
They were three simple words. Sometimes they were thrown out meaninglessly, by other people. Coming from him, however, they meant everything to me – and they always would.
"I love you, too, Edward."
He smiled my favorite crooked smile, and I returned it.
It was the best feeling in the entire universe, knowing that our hearts would always be entwined.

A/N: I just love Edward and Bella, don't you? ) This is my first Twilight story; I've been itching to write about Edward and Bella, but I didn't want to butcher it up. XD. I know it's very short, but I was aiming for a simple, sweet fic that represents the beautiful love that Edward and Bella share, so hopefully I accomplished that. Anyway, all types of feedback are welcome. I'd really appreciate it if you commented on my writing so I know how to improve. Please make my day and review! Thanks for reading.
