Chapter 4- Help me to forget
Bella's POV
The moon shone through the window, illuminating Edward in a warm glow. His skin looked even more perfect, more flawless (if that was even possible). I stroked my finger alongside his face, then leaned my head towards his and gave him a kiss. " I love you." I whispered.
" And I you." He replied, kissing me back.
" Hmm, what did I ever do to deserve you?"
" Ah, I'm the one who should be asking how I deserve you." We both laughed; scooting closer to one another. It was so funny, how they never slept but every Cullen had a bed- or some type of bed. Edward reached up and tucked a stray piece of hair behind my ear. " I cannot wait to marry you Isabella Swan."
" And I cannot wait to become Mrs. Edward Cullen." I brushed my lips softly against his cheek, then his chin and finally the hollow of skin on his throat. Then I moved back up to his lips, kissing him passionately. I broke the kiss and looked deep into his topaz eyes. He smiled and rubbed my cheek.
" Do you have any idea what you do to me Bella?"
" Oh, I'm sure it's equal to what you do to me."
" I don't know. . . " He teased. I smirked, then all of a sudden we shifted and he was on top of me. He held one arm up on the bed to support himself and bent down towards me, kissing me deeply. I smiled into the kiss, allowing it to go even deeper. I felt his hand slowly move down to my waist, moving my shirt up ever so slightly. Then a little more. I wrapped my arms around his neck and just kept kissing him, like I would die if I didn't. Suddenly I became aware of his hand on my stomach, gently rubbing it. I quickly moved my head back and bit my lip. His eyes furrowed in confusion. " Did I do something wrong?" He asked.
" No baby, but I think we should wait. And if we go at it anymore, I won't hold back." He nodded his head and we shifted again so we were side by side. He wrapped me in his arms and kissed the top of my head.
" Anything you want Bella." He whispered.
" I'm sorry."
" Don't be, I'd rather wait to. It'll make our wedding night that much more exciting." I still looked at him, unsure. He chuckled and kissed my forehead again. " I mean it Bella, don't worry."
" Okay. . " I snuggled close, burying my head in his chest and never wanting to leave.
The sun slowly rose in the east, the sky blushed bright red and orange. It was beautiful, there was so much I missed while sleeping. Edward and I hadn't moved, we were still just laying down-listening to each other breathe; even though it was unnecessary. A thought occurred to me and I sat up. Edward gave me another look of confusion and moved me so I was sitting on his lap. " What's up?" He asked.
" I need you to bring me home, to Charlie's house."
" Why?"
" Because, there's some things I need there. You'll be there to make sure I don't go crazy and attack him or anything. . Please."
" Bella, I don't know-"
" Please Edward. It'll make forgetting that much easier if I just get it done and over with. Please, help me to forget." He just looked at me for a couple of seconds, then he nodded his head. I smiled and threw my arms around his neck, hugging him tight.
" Come on, we have to go now, before he wakes." He said softly.
" Okay." We both walked down the steps and told the rest of the family we'd be back soon, today was the day we were going to Italy after all. Edward opened the door for me, following behind me. " Always a gentlemen." I told him. He smiled and winked at me. Then his smile grew even wider and he laughed. " Care to fill me in?"
" I was just thinking something. Come on, I'll race you."
" You're on." We took off, the wind rushed past my face. It was such a rush, now I understood why him and his family members enjoyed living the fast life so much-it was such a high. We at my house in a matter of minutes; we carefully edged ourselves inside my old room. Nothing was touched. I put the bag I'd brought on my old bed and looked around, a stab of pain hit my heart- it was hard to see everything; to know Charlie was so close. Wait a minute. I put my head up and smelled deeply, I could smell his blood. But. . . " Edward. . Something's up." I whispered.
" You okay? Are you fighting back your hunger okay?"
" Just the opposite, I don't need to. Edward, his blood doesn't appeal to me at all. Not one bit." I turned around and heard Edward gasp.
" What's wrong?" I questioned him.
" It's. . . Your eyes. They're. . . They're the same color as Sage's." I looked in my mirror and sure enough, the burgundy color was gone, replaced by a light green.
" Edward, what's going on? I should be fighting back the temptation to kill my father, instead I'm fine!"
" Bella, I have no idea." I sighed and sat on my bed, throwing my head in my hands.
