I was in my favorite place in the world. The place where I felt safe, secure, wanted and loved. I inhaled into the love of my existence's shirt, always relaxing more after I had recognized his scent. I sighed in contentment in his arms and he heard me. A chuckle came from him and his breath tickled my cheek as I turned to face my husband.

Edward.

I struggled to breathe as his smile dazzled me like it did a thousand times a day. It seemed as if the world around me had stopped. That was the perfect way to put it because he was my world. The only thing that I couldn't live without. And for some absurd reason, he felt the same about me. Me. Plain, old, Bella Cullen. The girl who didn't like fancy clothes, make-up, and would rather sit at home watching a movie than go to a party unlike any other teenage girl her age. Somehow, I had managed to capture the non-beating heart of an outstandingly beautiful vampire just like he had managed to capture mine. I refocused my attention back to my reason for living. He was still smiling, patiently waiting for me to come back to reality.

"Bella, I think you would have learned by now that breathing is actually good for you." He teased. Still breathless I could only manage to smile back at him. "I am thankful however, that you seem to only forget to take a breath when I am near. Therefore, in no way can you be in trouble of killing too many of your brain cells due to lack of oxygen. I could never let that happen." He spoke so quickly that I almost didn't catch the end of his thoughts. Focusing my brain and mouth to work in unison I managed to squeak out a response.

"It's your fault you know. It's more of the reason I stop breathing is because you are around and the only way to repay me for the health risk you are causing me is to prevent me from not breathing for too long by always being next to me." I thought that was a pretty good comeback!

"Oh Bella. The way your mind works! What I would give to just peek into your thoughts for a mere minute! Or ten seconds!" He lifted his arms and wrapped his stone cold fingers gently around my face while staring into my eyes, almost like he was trying his hardest to read my thoughts for those ten seconds. He finally gave up and settled for brushing his hand across my cheek waiting for my usual blush to show which took all of 2 seconds. He smiled once more before looking at his watch which read 7:30 pm.

"Love, you must be hungry. You haven't eaten anything since breakfast." I thought about it for a minute and decided I was hungry. Hungry for him. For his touch, and his voice and his smell. And I told him just that.

"You've had me all day. And every day before. And you will always have me. Whether you want me there or not. But now you actually need some kind of nutrition in you. I want to make you something. What do you feel like eating?" I really wanted the taste of Edward but I decided to make it easy for him.

"Can you make me a grilled cheese sandwich? I haven't had one in such a long time." Before I could say anything else, he had picked me up, placed me gently back on the couch we were sitting on, raced into the kitchen and began moving pots and pans around all to make me my grilled cheese. I leaned back into the couch and I wondered where the rest of his family was. Well, my family too now that I was a Cullen.

"Edward" I called to him. I knew he would hear me. He was by my side in a second and I couldn't help but smile at his loving attentiveness to me.

"Did you want something else Mrs. Cullen?" I never would get tired of hearing him call me that. I almost preferred it to my actual name.

"No I was just wondering, what happened to your family? They've been gone all day." My brow creased. I knew that nothing was wrong but with our family's luck, I could never help but worry about them sometimes.

"They are just on a hunting trip Love, nothing to worry about." He smiled. I swear he could read my mind sometimes even though I was positive he couldn't.

"You didn't go with them?" I asked. I was grateful that he didn't but I knew he stretched his thirst out sometimes past his comfort point. I rubbed the shadows under his eyes to remind him that he needed to hunt too.

"I wanted to stay with you today. I couldn't leave you alone. I'll go another day when I leave you in Alice's capable hands." I rolled my eyes on that one and when I focused back on him he was gone once again. I breathed in and he appeared in front of me holding a plate with my grilled cheese on it. Just the smell of it reminded me that I actually was hungry and I took the plate eagerly. It took me all of six minutes to finish the delicious sandwich.

"Edward, you know how I don't like to admit that you are perfect at everything. But I have never eaten a grilled cheese that was better than that one!" He chuckled.

"Maybe it was because you actually were hungry and that was the first thing you have eaten in several hours." I shook my head before he even finished. I stood up to take my plate to the kitchen but for some reason I had lost my balance and fell right back down onto the couch minus the plate. I realized Edward had pushed me with just enough force for me to topple over. I laughed lightly for a second but then gathered myself and glared at Edward when he came bustling back to the couch.

"Edward, I could've taken my plate to the kitchen. I don't think I could manage to hurt myself in that short amount of time." I was now laying on Edward's chest feeling more content than I ever could.

"I know Bella. But I love doing things for you. Even the simplest of tasks that you can do yourself. I never want you to have to lift a finger." I sighed loudly.

"That's going to get so annoying. You can't do everything and let me do nothing. There has to be a balance. I love doing stuff for you too you know." He played with my hair trying to distract me.

"Okay Bella, whatever you want." He inhaled the scent of my hair and let his sweet smelling breath travel down to where I was laying. Just the scent of him made me relax and the soft hum of my lullaby coming from him gave me no chance. I fell asleep within minutes ending one of the best days of my life.
