That Gets Me (E POV)
Here is my next chapter…I hope you like it. Dedicated to my only reviewer so far (Gilla) and my mother dearest who picked the song.
This is just what Edward thinks about Bella at certain points in their relationship.
It's
the way you twist a curl into your hair That
gets me, that just gets me every time
As you sit there unaware
of how beautiful you are
It's the music that I always seem to
hear
When you bring yourself to tears from laughing way too
hard
And when we're slowly dancing and you slip off your
shoes
Don't you know, baby, just like everything you do
Right here inside this heart
of mine
You open up your world and lay your love out on the
line
That gets me, that just gets me every time
Bella sat on "their" bed situated in the middle of the room, reading. She was absent-mindedly twisting and her hair around her finger and it took his breath away. She looked up with question in her eyes but after a moment she smiled and returned to her book. It was at these moments that he wished that he was able to read her mind. What was she thinking? Where did that smile come from?
He realized that he probably looked like an idiot when he stared at her (which was confirmed by Emmett constantly), but he didn't care and she didn't seem to mind, so he continued. Either way he couldn't really stop, she captivated him at the strangest of moments.
He remembers one time he was so incased by her that Emmett had, had to hit him to get his attention (a gesture that would have shattered a humans ribs beyond repair).
She was playing chess against Carlisle and he knew that she knew she was going to lose but she looked so concentrated that he couldn't help but smile. Bella made a move that he knew Carlisle would overcome instantly and win the game but instead he saw Carlisle make a wrong move; continuing the game.
Alice leaned over to Bella, whispering something in her ear, but I was so enthralled by Bella that I didn't catch what she said. But what ever it was, it made Bella blush a deep crimson and she stole a look at me. Which Alice caught a started rolling on the floor, laughing.
Bella joined her soon after, from embarrassment or maybe it was because, embarrassing or not, it was still a funny comment. At this point Bella was on her back and there were tears in her eyes; something that, when Emmett saw, made him start laughing, too.
He let out a chuckle and leaned over to Bella, "Love, are you going to finish the game?" She looked up to him and started giggling but didn't answer.
He caught himself staring again at the beautiful sight in front of him and made a mental note to find out what Alice said that made Bella laugh so maybe he could see it, and repeat the action.
It's
the way you say your prayers before you sleep That gets
me, that just gets me every time
Then you curl up
next to me and we hold each other close
And you tell me with your
eyes that you'll never let me go
And that may be the moment that I
love the most
When you make me feel like no other man exists
And
when I taste the power and surrender of your kiss
Right here inside this heart of
mine
You open up your world and lay your love out on the line
That
gets me, that just gets me every time
Ever since he had started trying to convince Bella he had no soul and that all vampires had no souls she had come up with a habit. Before she would climb into bed at night with him, no matter which house they were in, she would kneel by the bed and pray. She made sure that she prayed out loud so that she was sure God would hear her.
When she told him that he was reminded of her innocence and pureness; the innocence that he was sure he was going to take away from her the moment he bit her. But she seemed so bent on him having a soul that she did everything to convince him of just that or maybe it was just to convince God.
The first night that she did this I was so surprised that I hadn't been able to speak, even when she crawled into bed with me. By the time that I got my speech back she was already asleep and dreaming.
The next day as we went down the stairs, Esme was standing in the kitchen with a plate of food for Bella. But before she could even sit down, Esme wrapped her into a hug so tight, I was sure that my poor Bella couldn't even breathe.
"You prayed for us, Bella. I don't know why but you did and I'm sure I love you more now than I did before. Thank you." Bella was so shocked that she just stared at the food in front of her once she sat down. Not eating until her stomach's protest broke the silence.
From that night on Bella made sure she prayed extra hard for all of us and our souls that she was certain existed.
Right
here inside this heart of mine That gets me
You open up your world and lay your
love out on the line
That gets me, that just gets me every time
Oh
that gets me, that just gets me every time
It's
the way you twist a curl into your hair
As you sit there unaware
of how beautiful you are
It's the way you say your prayers before
you sleep
Then you curl up next to me oh that gets me
That gets
me
I didn't know how Bella did what she did and not notice how it affected our family. She would say the smallest of things in passing and it would make someone in my family or all of them have a better day. Like when she was talking to me about how important Jasper's power was to the family and he overheard; Jasper couldn't stop smiling that day and even hugged Bella when she left later that night.
She cared about my family and I and that just got me.
So what do you think? I like this one better than my last one but I want to know what you think so please review!!
