I woke up the next morning to find myself sleeping next to a human miracle
Everlasting Love- Chapter 2
Dedication- To EVERYONE who reviewed...thank you so much! Also to XxZombie Mokona for sharing my love for the word 'dapper'. And to I Found A Username because you gave me a huge ego boost….and your username made me laugh.
I woke up the next morning to find myself sleeping next to a human miracle. He was awake already; looking at me intensely, his green orbs staring into me. I felt blood rush up to my cheeks as I hid myself into his shirt. He chuckled. "Good morning." I said shyly.
"Yes, yes it is." He smirked as he buried his head into my hair. "How did you sleep?"
"I slept really well, considering it wasn't on the dirt...yourself?"
"I had an…interesting night." He said smiling, like I was completely missing something.
"And what was so interesting about it?" I asked.
"You're so cute when you're asleep; you talk." Oh no. My father had always told me I was a sleeping chatter box. I sighed.
"W-What did you hear?" I asked, trying to sound casual. It didn't work.
"You talked about your parents….you missed them." He said, sounding full of regret. "You sounded so sad." He said quietly, almost as if it wasn't meant to be heard.
"Edward." I said, putting my hand on his cheek slightly. "It's not your fault. Don't worry about it, but can I ask why you smiled when you claimed you had an 'interesting night'?"
"Well, there might have been another thing you said…." He said, the smile returning to his face.
"….I said your name…didn't I?" I said rather bluntly.
"Maybe." His eyes lit up, so I took that as a yes.
"A lot?" I asked attempting to keep my voice from sounding horror filled. It didn't work. Again.
"Define a lot." He said, still looking highly entertained.
"Oh no." I said, burying my head into his chest again. He found this highly amusing.
"Don't worry about it Bella, if I wasn't listening to you last night; I'm sure I would have dreamt about you too…Trust me. Now how about we go get something to eat, alright?" We went down stairs to eat, Elizabeth was happy to have company. Edward Sr. was due home this afternoon, much to my dismay.
"So, what would you like to do today?" He asked.
"I'm not really sure. What do you want to do?
"Actually…I kind of wanted to do something…." He said awkwardly, I motioned him to go on. "I really wanted to draw a portrait…of you." He said, looking at his feet. I saw red pool to his cheeks, and I felt a huge grin on my face. Edward Mason blushes!
"Edward, why are you embarrassed?" I asked, still highly entertained from his blushing.
"A gentleman isn't supposed to suggest things out of a lady's comfort line, so I didn't want to ask you because you might have felt awkward, and if you felt awkward you might have got embarrassed, and you were already embarrassed this morning to I didn't want to make you feel bad, so I didn't know if I was being to froward or not...so I wasn't going to ask you, but then an impulse came on so I decided to ask you anyway." He said in a rant. Wow, I didn't know someone could say so much in one sentence. I thought to myself. I smiled, knowing I'm learning the most random things about Edward...and I loved it.
"Edward, trust me." I said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "My comfort line is quite large; of course you can draw a portrait of me…but on one condition."
"And that would be?"
"Well, just show me where you want to draw me, and then I'll tell you." He looked confused for a minute, but decided to get over it. He took my hand gently and led me to a couch in the parlor.
"This will be good." He said as he was eyeing the couch. "Now, sit please."
"Wait, my condition has to come into play…do you have a mirror…a rather large mirror?" I asked.
"Sure, there's one in the next room…but I don't see how that makes any sense."
"You'll see, just help me get it." I said as I started to walk out of the room. Edward shrugged and followed. A couple of minutes and a few moments of heavy lifting later We both carried the huge mirror into the parlor. "Right here." I said, gesturing him with my face to place it right in front of the couch. We both stepped in front of the mirror and looked into it, me standing there along with Edward with his many pens and markers, all black and in different sizes. "…..I was just thinking that maybe you can draw a picture of both of us. The one you painted of your parent's was astonishing….if it's a bad idea though it's okay…I just really wanted it to be the two of us an-"
"Bella!" He said, putting a finger against my mouth. "Bella, calm down, your rambling as much as me. And besides 'My comfort line is quite large.'" He said, mocking me. I couldn't help but laugh at that. "So, let's position ourselves. You sit first." He said bringing me to the middle of the couch. "Cross your legs…perfect, now I'll sit beside you. I've never done this before; it's going to be odd drawing myself in a picture." He said, looking distraught.
"I'm sure you'll be fine." I said. He smiled at me before looking into the mirror at the two of us, and then he began.
He had such a calm…yet determined face. It was absolutely beautiful. Every time he came up to look into at us reflected in the mirror, he erased his determined face to smile…but as soon as he put his head down, it face was back. Whenever he finished a specific part of the work, I saw his eyes light up the slightest bit as his lip twisted into a half of a smile. I could only smile back.
"Bella, could you look straight into the mirror for me?" I nodded and looked straight. "I want to get your eyes just right. There beautiful you know." He said as I heard his pen draw across the paper. "Whenever I look into them, I instantly get lost…there simple, brown and beautiful….but yet, so deep that you want to look into them and gather everything. Which makes them complex." I was frozen solid at that point; no one has ever complimented me that kindly before. "Bella….Bella? Breath." He said, as I felt the couch shake with his heavenly laugh.
Oh right...air. I told myself. I took a large intake of breath, before staring at myself in the mirror.
Looking in the mirror made me think about things. I seemed different. I've looked in the mirror at home plenty of times, and saw myself. I still see me, but I seem so much…lighter, and happier. A faint blush was on my face…and wasn't going away anytime soon. As I absentmindedly looked at myself in the mirror, Edward put his sketch board on his lap and smiled.
"Bella." He said, getting my attention. "It's finished." He smiled at me and handed me the sketch, and I felt my heart stop.
It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Edward actually painted the mirror around us. We were both sitting there smiling, me with my legs crossed; and Edward grinning while holding his pen and this very drawing in his hand. The most beautiful thing was the script that fell on the right side of me.
Dearest Bella,
Whenever you look at this picture I hope you remember the words we spoke to each other.
'Do you believe in first sight?
'Not really.'
'Ah.'
'Until tonight.'
I want to make more unforgettable memories just like that one, and just like this one of us sitting together smiling.
You are with out a doubt beautiful.
Love Always,
Edward
I immediately felt tears in my eyes drip out to my cheeks. "Edward…" I said, almost silently, I almost didn't think he heard me. But, he proved me wrong by wrapping his arms around me.
"Bella, I love you." He stated. That small sentence made my soft tears turn into uncontrollable sobs as I hugged him back.
"I love you too."
We embraced for what seemed like an eternity until he finally let go. A little flick of disappointment came to me...that is until he took my face and smashed his lips against mine. I gasped when he licked me bottom lip, asking for entrance. I opened my mouth whole heartedly to let him in. Our mouths continued the passion; our tongues dancing together. It was possible the most amazing feeling in the worl-
"Ahem." I heard. Edward and I let go of each other only to find a man standing in the door frame of the room. I saw his bronze hair and green eyes that amazingly resembled my loves. I knew this face immediately. Edwards Words confirmed it.
"Dad…"
Ah, a cliff hanger, I always wanted to do one of those. Anyway! I'm back from vacation. So, I wrote another chapter. Sorry it's on the short side…I just REALLY wanted to end it here. I'll put on a new chapter as soon as I get 12….yes 12 reviews. One more then the first chapter. By the way, thanks for all the reviews. But, I got a lot more favorites and alerts then reviews, so really…review please. You don't have to say anything about the story if you want…you can ask me a random question if you want! It took me 2 hours to write this up, and about 3 for the first chapter…the least you can do is take a minute to review. Pleaseee? Puppy dog pout
If you want another chapter…12 reviews…make it happen!
