I do not own the characters Bella and Edward. They are the sole property of Stephenie Meyer.
Thanks for the great reviews so far. I really love readying them. I am currently writing my book called Runaway and this writing is not just great fun but awesome practice.
E.P.O.V.
After Bella fell asleep I lay there watching her. I watched her chest rise and fall with every breath and I smiled. She was finally mine, completely mine and would be forever. I would be able to keep her. I felt alive thinking about this. It seemed like there were no more monsters coming after us anymore. She would be safe and I would be able to guarantee that fact for all of eternity.
I was still not so happy about the fact the she wouldn't let go of letting go. She was so willing to give up her life for me. I felt selfish and unworthy of her love. I knew that she wouldn't like me thinking this way but how could I help it. She was perfect and soft and warm. I never wanted to let go of that warmth and light. I also knew that she would be safer changed and that we can't outrun the Vultori forever. She wouldn't allow it. I let me thoughts wander back to the night that she help the vote. All seven vampires and the human sitting around a large table voting on whether or not she would stay mortal and living. I could tell that as soon she made the decision in her own mind there was no turning back.
As much as I was opposed to her changing I also knew that now, after she upheld her end of our bargain… I would be the one to do this Haines act. I made her a promise and now I had to stick to it. I prayed that I would be strong enough, but deep down somewhere inside me I knew that as long as she trusted and believed in me I would be able to not kill her. If I did, then I would be right back in Italy all over again.
The sun would soon be up and she would soon be awake again in the light of a new day.
B.P.O.V
As I lay there sleeping I was fully aware of him watching me. I didn't mind, I actually liked it. To know that he was there with me and would never leave me again. I never felt so happy. I was completely at ease laying there in his cool embrace. I never wanted it to end and now that we were Mr. and Mrs. It never had to. We would be together for all of eternity.
After a while never completely asleep, not really but utterly happy and warm even though I was surrounded by his cold arms, I could feel the sun coming up and through the windows. We were on the tenth floor so it was nice to be able to have the curtains open and the light flowing into the room. We only ever had this when were at the Cullen's house or in our meadow. We both longed for those days when we could possibly live in the sun together. That dream was slightly farfetched though because vampires sparkled in the light and we would have to live in the grey always, if we wanted to go out amongst the living.
The first rays hit my eyelids and I shifted in bed. Edward stopped breathing but I couldn't figure out why. I knew he couldn't sleep and I also knew that he was there but I loved that. I rolled over toward him and smiled.
"Are you awake?" he whispered to me.
I simply kissed his cool lips. When I pulled away from him and opened my eyes he was there with a somewhat surprised look on his face. I knew that he hated not being able to hear my thoughts but he never expected that.
