Just simply, isn't being hyper fun?
Hyperactiveness
It's very, very, very, very rare that I, Bella Swan, am…hyper…and the only person who has really, really, really seen me on edge, like tonight, is Edward…(And my mother but that's not really important.)
So I tired to sleep it off and I waited…waited for the sleep to come over me…or…for Edward to be next to me, which would have worked too. He was taking so LONG though…and I was getting antsy.
No matter where I laid…it seemed that no position would work for me. So I got up, threw off my covers and pretty much jumped out of bed as quietly as I could. I needed music. Yes, music sounded wonderful. I would listen to something soft and fall asleep and when I woke up in the morning Edward would be sitting there, like always…
"Good plan." I said aloud. I turned on my light and began searching for the I-pod Alice had given me for an early birthday present…like months in advanced…her exact words were, "You have so many CDs, and your so clumsy with your things Bella, no offense, that I bought you this so you can listen to all your songs. Here ya go!"
It felt weird having at first…but the thing kind of does come in handy when I need it. I love CDs though…
CDs for life…
"Aha!" I whispered to myself, discovering the item I was searching for inside one of my draws. I picked it up, unraveled the earpieces and practically flew to my bed…quietly. The last thing I wanted was to wake Charlie up. I quickly turned off my light, switched on the I-pod, found a cool song and quietly bounced up on down on my bed…sitting of course…but I barely got two minutes into the song before one of my earpieces fell out and I heard,
"Why don't you sleep like a normal person?"
"Because," I said simply, "I'm not a normal person." He didn't surprise me one bit, but my heart did speed up just a little more.
"Good point." He retorted, and by the tone of his voice I imagined his lovely crooked smile.
I turned around and grinned elatedly. "Finally dear Edward!" I wanted to shout but I managed to get my excitement through anyhow. "I've long awaited your arrival. I cannot sleep…" I stood up on my bed now, jumping a little. "But now you're here!" I threw my arms around his neck, my feet hanging above the floor, and I think I nearly took him by surprise with the action.
"Are you hyper again?" He asked; pulling me from him so he could glare at me.
I tried to copy his very serious face but cracked halfway through the staring contest with a snorting giggle that broke out into fits of laughter. "I was listening to music!" I suddenly said, pulling from him and showing him the I-pod. "See."
"Yes, I see." He nodded then softly pushed me to the bed. "I also see that your sugar high is going to crash soon and I think you should try to sleep."
"But I have already tried." I whined, pouting my lower lip. "I couldn't get comfy." I put the I-pod on the floor and placed the covers back over me. Edward was always thinking about my health, I really didn't mind that much but the logical part of my brain was on temporary shut down…
"You need to sleep." He said, sitting on the edge of my bed he started taking his shoes off.
"I do not." I argued childishly.
"You do, don't argue with me." He said sternly, turning around towards me and slipping quickly under the covers. He pulled me over towards him.
"I won't sleep."
"You will sleep, I'll sing you a lullaby." He said resting his chin upon my head.
"It won't work." I told him, faking a serious tone.
Then he started humming; his musical tone and pitch were perfect…even if he was only humming…then I felt my body start to crash…like after all good sugar highs.
Why is he always right?
I knew he was smiling through.
"Sleep sweet Bella," he sang almost jokingly. I elbowed him weakly…so he barely felt it at all.
"No." I said quietly. The sleep coming faster then I hoped it would have.
"Don't fight it…" He sang again, I could hear him trying to hide his laughter.
I don't really remember what I said to him after that, or if he said anything to me…but the last thing I do remember though was…
"I love you..." he told me.
And I fell asleep.
