Peter POV

I was standing outside her back door, watching her closely. Making sure nothing would harm her. I already knew that newly mated couples were more protective than normal. I was only driven by instinct. Everything inside of me wanted me to wrap my arms around her and keep her save. I didn't even trust the Cullen's. Jasper maybe...

My angel had her eyes closed. And I knew she didn't care for the outside world. She was trapped inside her mind. Sometimes she would smile. Sometimes she would frown. But always was she beautiful.

But still I wanted to yell at her, shake her, make her look out for herself. And the next second it dawned on me. She was feeling safe. She knew nothing would hurt her. Her heart made her trust in me. She just didn't knew it yet.

The day got later and soon it was starting to get dark outside. I felt Bella slowly get out of her mind. She shivered a little and I wanted to run up to her and warm her up.

And than she turned around and looked at me in wonder. She smiled and walked up to me and extended her hand.

"Hi I'm Bella." she said.

And I knew in that moment that she had accepted me. She would give me a try. And I would not disappoint her.

"Hi I'm Peter." I smiled back,brought her hand up to my lips and kissed the back of her hand, letting her know how much I honored her and her presence and time.

Bella and I were sitting in her living room and she was telling me her story. How Charlie had gone missing a week after the Cullen's left. About Renee and Phil and her baby brother Jack and how Renee told her that she didn't think Bella was good for her family.

She told me about her college years, about the guys she dated and how unhappy she had been. She told me about her professor who always looked after her like a father. How he had send an application to Hearst Publishing Company for her and how she had moved to Dallas a day after graduation.

She told me about her friendship with Marty and how he had once fallen for a vampire as well.

I told her about my life after I was changed and I told her about Charlotte and how much it had hurt to lose her, about her betrayal. And she told me about Edward.

We talked about my diet and decided that for the time being I would keep this lifestyle up since it would be easier for me to be around her.

We talked about mating and what life would become like if we actually became a couple. I was a nomad. I traveled the world and Bella had her constant life. We decided to take one step at a time. But for her I would stay here, get a normal job and pay bills. Even if I had more than enough money for the rest of forever.

The Cullen's had all gone out and it was only me and Bella.

After a while she started to yawn and her eyes became heavy.

"Come on Angel you should sleep. You've had a very eventful day."

"You're probably right but I still have this script to read..."

"Hush you! I don't want to hear about it. Your health is more important. Go and get some sleep. I'll read the script and tell you about it." I offered.

"It's a cheesy romance novel for women."

"Oh perfect...just what I love to read!" I sighed dramatically.

Bella giggled and offered me her hand. Together we walked her bedroom. It was designed it a beautiful white and red color.

Bella went to the bathroom and changed into a short purple sleep dress with creme-colored socks. The dress hugged her breast and I wanted to bury my head between them...

I couldn't wait to make love to her...

Focus, Peter, focus!

Bella quickly slipped under the covers and snuggled herself up. I gave her a kiss on her forehead and whispered good night and soon she was asleep.

I sat down on the chair next to her bed grabbed the script and started reading. I looked over her notes and started writing my own. It was horrible. After I read the whole script I keeled down next to Bella and watched her sleep.

When the sun came up I was still kneeling there and waited for her eyes to open. Her sleep got lighter and soon she opened her eyes. When she saw me she smiled. Her hand reached out from under the blanket and cupped my cheek. I wanted to crawl into her, seek her love and warmth. I turned my head and kissed her palm and nuzzled my nose against it.

Never in all my years had I felt so complete and safe. I could rest without fear.

"Good morning angel...I hope you slept well." I whispered.

"Mm...very well. I dreamed of you and me...we were at the beach and you were reading me a poem. Your hand rested on my thigh and you kept stroking it..."

A light blush covered her cheeks and I smiled at her.

"That sound wonderful."

Bella got up and went to take a shower. Meanwhile I made her bed.

When Bella came out she wore a emerald short dress, black knee high boots and a black jacket over it.

"You look beautiful my angel." I smiled and hugged her. "I wondered if you would like to go out with me today. We could have breakfast and than we could go for a walk. If you'd like..."

"That sound perfect." she smiled and grabbed her purse.

I changed as well and soon we were driving into the city.

We stopped at Bella favorite coffee shop and ordered breakfast. I learned more about what she liked and what not.

After breakfast we went to take a walk through the park. Today was a little market at the park and Bella looked at everything with wonder. We spend almost half an hour at a book stand and ended up buying 6 books.

At a jewelery stand we bough bracelets, necklaces, earrings and even a ring.

After a while we sat down on a bench and just enjoyed the light breeze. Bella leaned her head on my shoulder and started nuzzling her nose into my neck. I put my finger under her chin, looked into her eyes and lowered my lips to hers. She perfect, warm and tasted fabulous. Bella gave me a small sigh when I let my tongue trail over her bottom lip. She slightly opened her lips and let me play with her tongue. Soon I felt her need to breathe again and gave her one last quick kiss before pulling away.

"Peter..."

"Yes angel?"

"Do you think...this will work out?"

"I'm absolutely positive. I know there is a lot we still have to figure out but we'll make it."

"I'm not worried about the things we have to figure out. I'm worried that...you will lose interested in me. I'm just plain old Bella. Nothing about me is fascinating or..."

"Stop this right now!" I hissed. I was furious. How could she talk about herself in that way?

"Peter what..."

"Bella nothing abut you is plain. You are beautiful, strong, patient, loving. You have a good heart and a good soul. You captivate my every being. I would listen to you in awe if you would read the telephone book. I know this is way to soon and I don't need you to say it back but I love you. With all my heart and hearing you talk so low about yourself is hurting me more than a thousand bites."

"Wow."

"I will never tire of you. You're perfect. Everything about you is perfect."

"I don't know what to say."

"You don't need to say anything. I just wanted you to know. Come on lets get back. The others probably want to talk to you."

I took her hand and we walked back.

I was still furious and we didn't speak. How could she feel this way? Who made her feel this way?

During our drive back Bella constantly looked out of the window and when we arrived home I could smell the salty tears running down her cheeks.

"I didn't mean to make you cry angel. I'm an idiot. One day and I can't keep you happy.!"

"I am happy. I'm just..."

"You're just what?"

"All my life I have never been enough. I wasn't enough for friends in Phoenix, I wasn't enough for the guys, I wasn't enough for Edwards, I wasn't enough for the Cullen's. I wasn't enough for friends in Forks, I wasn't enough for guys in college, I wasn't enough for Phil and Renee, I was never enough. How can I be enough for you?"

"Because I love you. I can't lie to you and tell you it will always be flowers and bees. We will go through fights and heartbreak. But at the end of the day I'll hold you in my arms, make love to you and apologize since we both know I will always be the jerk. I want you to be you not someone else. The person you are is amazing. You went through so much and look at you. You stand on your own feet, you have your own home, your work, everything that is possible. And here I stand. I never made anything impressive and yet you accept me. There is not a chance in hell you'll ever not be enough because the simple fact that you let me into your house and heart will make me always cherish the dirt you walk onto."

"Oh Peter...but will it be like that forever?"

"Yes. It will never change. Not while I can."

"Peter?"

"Yes?"

"I love you" she smiled at me.

I brushed her tears of, slid my hand into her hair and crushed my lips to hers. A soft sigh escaped her lips and I smiled. This was so right. We kissed for what seemed like forever and when we parted I saw Emmett standing next to my window with a death glare.

"You're molesting my little baby sister in front of the neighborhood. Get out!" he growled.

Emmett was scary even to me. Especially when it came to Bella.

We got out of the car and went inside. Well I was walking ahead and Emmett stayed between me and Bella. Even as we sat on the couch.

This would be a very long forever...
