Hey, sorry for the wait, my schedule's so crazy! The only reason I have time to write now is because I have the flu and am stuck at home. This is the last chapter, thanks to everyone who read it!
Stephenie Meyers owns Twilight, not me.
"Trust me, I'm blindly seeing you, perhaps that actually makes it clearer. From what I can feel, I know you're gorgeous, but more than that, I know your heart, and that's what really makes you beautiful."
My hands were still on his face and I traced his lips and slowly leaned up, keeping my hand on his lips so I knew where I was going. I kissed him lightly on the lips, just to convey my belief.
I felt his hand trace my cheekbone, "thank you," he whispered.
"Anytime."
I could not stop smiling after lunch. Edward cared for me, even though I was blind and might not be the easiest person to hang around. Despite all my flaws, he saw the true me and loved me. Edward and Alice drove me home from school and I could feel Edward's finger circling my hand the entire ride home. Alice, of course, was ecstatic about the whole relationship and claimed she knew it was coming the whole time. Normally, Edward would drop me off at my house and both of them would do homework or help me, as much as they could, with my Braille reading until Charlie came home. Edward had recently begun making dinner while I told him what ingredients he would need. He had heard what a terrible cook Charlie was, so he was my life saver.
Today, however, as Edward opened my door and grabbed my hand to help me out, I heard the sound of metal clinking and then being caught.
"Did you just throw your keys?"
"Yes, Alice is driving home."
"Oh, bye Alice."
"Bye Bella, you two have fun."
I heard the engine purr to life and the sound grew quieter until I knew she had driven on to the next street.
"Why couldn't she stay at my house today?"
"She could, but I think she thought we might like some alone time."
I couldn't help the widening smile that was forming on my face. Thank you Alice, my new best friend, I thought.
Edward led me inside and onto the couch.
"Bella, this might sound strange, but would you mind if I felt your face like you did mine? I'll close my eyes so I can't see anything, I want to know what you experience."
"Sure"
I heard his slow breathing and I could sense his fingers were mere millimeters from my face. I felt the instant connection as his fingers lightly traced my facial features. There was a slight burn in a trail where his fingers went. I yearned for more.
After a few minutes of this, Edward removed his hand. I felt as his lips connected with mine and they danced together aw we both celebrated our new relationship.
When we needed air, we broke apart and Edward kissed my face, my eyes, my nose, covering the path that his fingers had traced.
"Bella," his voice was rough, "you're the one I've been waiting for. All my life, I've known I would someday find the girl of my dreams, the one who would make me a better man, encourage me, love me, and someone who I could do the same to. I figured it would take me at least until I was 18, but apparently I'm lucky. Because I know you're the one, there's no doubt in my mind."
I sat there in shock, could this guy get any more perfect?
"I feel the same way about you too, I'm so glad I found you now, especially since I have all the other crazy stuff going on."
Our agreement was then expressed in a method that did not need words.
I went to bed that night with a smile on my face as I thought back to the day's events. I drifted in to a dream that seemed oddly familiar (see Ch. 1 if this doesn't ring a bell)
I was running, running towards him. He was the one for me, and I felt the pull on my heart, leading me towards him. I couldn't see him exactly, and yet I knew he was handsome. "Bella," he whispered .
The dream abruptly changed, because I recognized the dream, it was Edward.
Suddenly, everything became extremely clear. The colors almost hurt my eyes. I knew the trees were a brilliant green, and yet, they held nothing to Edward's eyes that glowed wonderfully while holding a window to his even more wonderful soul. The wood was a brown-red, but it could not hold my glance. Instead, my eyes fixed on Edward's copper hair. Everything about him was perfect. I moved toward him as I whispered his name in response.
I woke up as I fell to the floor. I opened my eyes instinctually even though I didn't expect to see anything.
I was wrong.
My room was dark, but the moon made it light enough that I could make out the form of my bed and see the faint lines of the carpet. I didn't move, worried that if I made one wrong move it would go away.
After a while, I slowly got up and tread over to Charlie's room.
"Dad?" I whispered, shaking him slightly.
"Bella? What are you doing up?"
"Dad, I can see again!"
Charlie sat up instantly, "really Bells? That's great, come on, I'll drive you to the hospital so they can check everything."
We spent the rest of the night at the hospital where they ran a bunch of tests on me.
I was released at about 6 am, completely clear. I reveled in the sensation of walking without limitations. I loved looking at everything I could.
Suddenly, I thought of an idea, "Dad, could we wait until later today to tell everyone that I'm better?"
"Sure, if you want."
"I do, I want it to be a surprise."
We got home just in time for me to take a quick ten minute nap before Alice came bounding into my room.
"Bella! I have the perfect outfit for today. It just screams 'I just got with my dream guy'"
I had to be careful and not let my eyes connect with anything as I was, to Alice's knowledge, still blind.
The outfit consisted of dark blue jeans, a flowy gray and white top, and black boots. It really was a very cute outfit. I got the feeling I had been very well dressed the last 3 months. Alice was cute too, she had short, spiky hair and was really tiny.
She helped me get dressed and put some makeup on me. After helping me down the stairs, she brought me to Edward. I stopped in my tracks, while he was obviously the man from my dreams, in reality, he was so much more beautiful.
"Edward." I ran to him and hugged him as he picked me up and spun in a circle. My heart pounded as I looked into his eyes, "you are beautiful, inside and out, now that I can actually see both."
"You can really see again?" Edward asked.
"Yes."
"That's so exciting," he picked me up and spun me around again.
At that point, I couldn't wait any longer. Now that I could see his lips, they seemed even more inviting. I kissed him fiercely, passionately, and with as much love as I possessed. For I knew I could love this wondrous man for all of eternity.
