Chapter 4
Bells...bells...bells...and more bells. Ugh! I woke up disoriented and with a huge hangover. I knew I would regret drinking last night. Alice you will pay, I thought. And Rose, I thought, karma is a bitch. Grr. My head is going to explode! Bells and more bells.
"Coming damn it! Who is it? Do you know what time it is?"
Edward was outside the door with bottle of water and pills.
"Oh."
"Morning. It seems I´m just in time. Take this and you will be just fine. Oh, by the way, it's almost eleven A.M."
I opened my eyes. "What? Shit! I´m late damn it! Oh, I´m not going to make it. God."
"Bella, relax."
"Relax? Are you kidding me? My boss will kill me, but not before I kill your sister. Where is my damn bag?"
I was running almost in circles when I heard Edward laugh.
"It´s not funny!"
"It is love. And that shirt goes very well with your shoes and bag," he smirked.
I looked down at myself and realized I was only wearing a long shirt. I can't believe I was ready to run to my job like this. Frustrated, I fell on the couch. This was the first time I felt like I had failed. Not going to work was something new for me. I covered my head with my arms. "My head feels like it's exploding! You're a doctor. Don't you have something to get me out of this suffering? I feel I'm dying a slow death," I complained. I really was in pain.
"Bella, I can´t believe you. Was that the first time you've been drunk?" He was laughing at me. He was a bastard and still I found Edward sexy. "Since you think I´m the bad guy, I´m going to prove you´re wrong. What do you think I did earlier?"
"Edward, I can´t even think without feeling like vomiting."
"You´re the cutest thing I´ve ever met."
I just looked at him. He left me speechless.
"Okay. Listen. I called your boss. I told him you were sick and since, of course, I´m your doctor there was no problem. So, don´t worry. Actually your boss was happy. He said, "That's the first time she´s been sick. Wow. Tell her to take however many days she needs." He chuckled, "It actually was hilarious."
"You didn´t have to do that Edward. I don´t like to stay home. I don´t like to let people down," I sighed. "But thank you. Now what? Are we supossed to play a doctor-patient game?" I teased him.
Then my head started hurting again. Ouch! I can´t even look sexy feeling this way.
"I would love to be your doctor. I´ve so many ideas in my head Bella," he said and winked at me, "But I do have to go to work and you should probably try to eat something."
"Eww. No. No way. I need sleep, not food. And no more drinking. Ever."
Edward touch my face sweetly and I felt faint. "Get back in your bed. I will be back soon. I promise."

How many hours I did I sleep? I have no idea, but being able to stay at home without anything to do was nice, actually. Maybe it´s time to stop worrying about everything and focus on something else. "I have to think of a way to thank Edward somehow," I said out loud. I was talking to myself. Great. Clearly, talking to yourself is not healthy. "I´m crazy," I said again out loud and shook my head.
As I lay on my bed, I started to remember everything that happened since Edward came back. He had brought my life back. No doubt about it, but at the same time I still had my questions about my secret admirer. I got out of my bed, and walked to the closet. I took out a little box from between from my shoes. I kept it very well hidden since Alice and Rose were so nosy. I opened it and the past hit me. All his letters were safe there. Alice was right alfter all, I thought. I still held onto a small hope of meeting him someday. Which was crazy because he had never let me find out who he was. He was always a step ahead of me. No address, no email, nothing. A real mystery. Edward was the conection. The letters always came to me through him. I remember asking him how, when, where, but he just said, "I don´t know. I always just find the letter on my table."
And I realized Edward was right too. How could I be with him when I still wanted to know about this secret admirer guy?
My secret admirer always seemed to know me well, how I was dressed, how many tests I had at high school, my notes, every move I made...he knew it all. I took out a letter. It was almost yellow from the years, and began to read.
"I saw you today. Beautiful as always. New perfume? I loved the way you smelled. Like flowers and fruits. Being close to you but not being able to hold you and kiss you, it´s like a knife in my heart. But I have faith you will see me soon."
To be honest, he melted my heart. There was something very familiar about him, but I couldn´t recognize what it was. The way he writes, the way he speaks, the way he knows me.
I felt my phone buzz with a message.
"Hey beautiful." -E
I smiled at his words "You wouldn´t call me beautiful if you saw how I looked right now." -B
My phone sounded again. "You are beautiful no matter what. *wink* Feeling better?" -E
"Yes, thanks for asking. Where are you?" -B
"Coming to see you. I´ll be there soon." -E
"Ok. Be careful." -B
"Always." -E
The knock on my door pulled me out of my dazzled moment. Oh Edward. You don´t know what you do to me.
I ran to the door knowing who was there.
"I told you to be careful," I said and I saw his beatiful smile and noticed he was holding some bags.
"I did. Don´t worry. And I have food since I´m sure you didn´t eat anything all day."
"Okay Doc! Feed me," I teased him.
"Hmm. Is that a indecent proposal?"
"Always." I winked at him and walked to my bedroom.

"When you told me you had them ´somewhere´, I never thought those letters would be in a chest Bella. Why did you keep them?"
We were eating in my bedroom. Edward on my bed was a really interesting idea, even if it was about food. There are a lot of different kinds of "food" actually, I thought.
"I don´t know, I didn´t want to throw them away or burn them. I choose to keep them safe," I said while I was drinking.
"And what else you have in there? Maybe something intimate?" He winked at me and I blushed.
"Nope, I don´t keep it in there," I said and smirked.
Edward laughed.
"What?" I asked.
"I just..." He was seriously laughing at me.
"Hmm. Right now I have a very, very good picture in my head of you with your toys."
"Really? Well, maybe someday we can make that picture into something real. Don´t you think?" I put my finger to his chest and slowly drug it upward to his neck, and then slowly to his lips.
"I'll take your word for it," he said.
We looked at each other and smiled. Suddenly, I feel my face burn and I turned around.
"Wow, look at this! Do you remember it?" Edward took out another letter and I looked at him confused.
"Hmm. I would be lying if I say I do."
"You are breaking my heart, Bells." He pouted and I opened my eyes wide. "I wrote this for you. It's..."
"Oh my God! I thought I had lost that. It´s your poem, right? You gave it to me before you left for London. When I read it, I was sure it was your way of saying goodbye." A tear fell down my cheek. Edward took my face in his hands and with his thumb cleared it.
"It wasn´t a goodbye. It was an "I will see you soon." At least that was what I thought. I was going to come back soon, but it took me a couple of years. I'm so sorry."
"How many years? Five or six? Yeah, a "couple of years." I said sarcastically.
"If makes you feel any better, I never stopped thinking about you. I was sure, completely sure, I was going to see you again. You were with me all the time."
"But you didn´t call me." I pouted
"I know and I'm sorry, but I knew if I heard your voice, I would come back inmediately. You wouldn´t be a writer and teacher; I wouldn´t be a doctor. I didn´t want to be in the middle of your dreams and ruin your plans for the future. We were friends. We are still friends and I love you more than you know."
Okay. Edward said he loved me? Edward loved me? Maybe he didn´t realize what he had just said. Damn, what I should do?
"Edward...I..."
"I know what I said Bella." Damn. Did he just read my mind?
"Wow. What happened with the shy Edward I knew?" I teased him.
"He´s here with you, don´t worry. But, what happened with the shy Bella I knew?" he teased me back.
I loved teasing him. "Hmm...touché."
I could feel the consequences of my hangover strongly now. I was tired, my body hurt, and I started to yawn. Edward touched my face.
"You need some rest and I have to work early tomorrow." I nodded and then followed him to the door.
"Thanks for dinner. You´re feeding me too much lately," I said and laughed.
"I love to." He was almost outside, "Bells...?"
"Hmmmm?"
"Would you like to go out with me?"
"On a date?" I was in shock.
"Yes."
"And what about my secret admirer? You didn´t want to be in the middle. Remember?" I said playfully.
"Well, I can probably make an arrangement with him," he said and winked at me.
"Okay, we´ve got a date."
"Good. I can´t wait for it. 'night."
And I can´t wait for it either, I thought.
