Edward's Point of View.
Bliss.
That is the only thing that could describe the emotion etched onto my angel's face. Pure, infinite bliss. Though it still baffled me that she could find that degree of bliss in my arms, as the gentle sunlight lilted on her soft, chestnut hair, I found myself once again in complete awe and reverence, and thanking whatever unseen force that may have placed her there.
As a gentle, contented sigh left her perfect lips, the same thing yet again escaped my mouth; "What are you thinking?" I asked my love for the thousandth time that day.
I found myself inadvertently smiling as a crimson blush crept into her cheeks.
"About you." She answered truthfully, "or rather, about us."
My smile grew.
"I was just thinking about how lucky I am that you love me," she slowly opened her eyes and locked my gaze, "and honestly, for about the billionth time, wondering what I did right to end up here, in your arms."
I ever so slightly tilted my head, pressing my lips to her still-red forehead, reveling in the thrill I felt shoot through her body at my touch.
"Love, I was thinking the exact same thing." I hummed into her ear.
Two years ago, if someone had told me I would be lying in the sun, holding a human whom I loved more dearly than words could convey, for whom I would give up anything and everything, I would never have believed. In fact, I may have adamantly denied those ridiculous claims. I would have never risked my family's safety and well-being, putting myself in such a compromising situation. But there, in our meadow, I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Bliss.
Such a powerful emotion. Almost powerful enough to make me forget the venom pooling in the back of my mouth as Bella shifted in my arms, her scent hitting me full on. The only thing however, powerful enough to morph the vicious snarl rising in my chest into a contented purr, was love. The intense love and adoration I felt for my precious Bella, the love that put new life into my long-stilled heart.
I once again shifted my head to whisper into my angel's ear; "I love you my angel, you have saved me."
And for the tiniest instant, as Bella unconsciously pulled herself closer to me, and I felt her heartbeat reverberating throughout my own body, for the shortest second, I felt something I thought was forever gone, I felt the slightest flutter, right where my heart would have been.
Author's Note: Okay, so…personally, I am not too impressed by this story, I'm sorry; Bella and Edward are terribly OOC. Though, it is my first attempt at any sort of fanfiction, so any CONSTRUCTIVE criticism anyone has for me is highly appreciated. Tell me what you think!
