Pairing: Edward/Bella
Era: Post-BD
POV: Bella, 1st person
Lyrics: Dizzy in my head
You know you love a guy when, ninety years after your first kiss, just the sight of him makes your head spin.
The scent of his breath intoxicates you, the sound of his voice enchants you, and the taste of his lips... well, it does scary things, too. Earth-shattering, world-changing, mind-blowing things.
So you can understand that, when Edward gets home from a hunt, only being granted two hours alone with him is never enough. I mean, I love my daughter. I love my sisters and my brothers and my new and old parents. But none of that, none of it, is enough to tear me away from him after so long spent apart.
Ninety years later, we're still like two halves of a whole, the past and future of two existences, coming together for the right now. Every moment of it is still like a dream come true, and the reality that there will never be a day when I wake from it is as terrifying as it is amazing.
I'm scared of waking up, one day. I'm scared of opening my eyes and seeing my blue walls at Charlie's house, feeling the cool breeze on delicate human skin, living the life that might've been if I'd never found Edward.
But, for now, as long as my head is reeling at the mere sight of so much perfection squeezed into one guy, I can be glad with this reality. I don't care if it is a dream. Just as long as I never, ever wake up from it.
