I was walking along a strangely familiar road when I heard a muffled cry. It was getting dark now as it was winter, so I couldn't see anything but there was something about that cry. I searched the dark bushes until something hit me. I knew the house I was standing in front of; I visited it every night in my dreams. It's Bella's house. And then I hurt the scream again and some rustling in a nearby bush. I ran over to investigate and found none other than Mike Newton trying to undress Bella. She was crying and trying to scream but he had one hand over her mouth was the other was busy trying to undo her blouse. I looked down at Bella and she opened her eyes and saw me. Relief flooded her face when she saw me and I blinked my tears away. I grabbed Mike by the hair and tore him out of the bush. Throwing him to the ground I began to kick him repeatedly and when I realized his pants were undone, I yelled in fury.
"What the hell Mike?" I yelled and he
looked at me; shocked.
"I don't even know you man!" he
whimpered and I stopped bashing him momentarily. It's true, he
doesn't know me, but I know him.
"I know you" I hissed and
began kicking him again. And then, I heard a soft whimper and my head
jerked to wear Bella was cowering in the bushes. I walked over to her
slowly. I thought she was afraid of me; and it hut to think I'd
just been violent right in front of her. I stopped walking when she
took a shaky breath.
"I'm so sorry Bella" I whispered and I
began walking away. I turned and saw Mike's unconscious form on the
grass. I kept walked and suddenly I felt something crash into my
back. I turned around and Bella threw herself into my chest.
"Why
are you sorry Edward? You saved me" she whispered and I smiled. I
wrapped my arms around her and picked her up. She threw her arms
around my neck and buried her head in my shoulder.
"I better
take you inside and get Chief Swan to check out Mike" I murmured
and I felt her smile against my shoulder.
"Chief Swan is very
confused right now" she whispered and I chuckled.
"I can
imagine" I mumbled.
"Edward, when can I meet Alice?" she
whispered and I chuckled quietly.
"Well, soon. Because she
thought I'd gone insane when I said I met the girl of my
dreams…literally" I whispered and she kissed the inside of
my neck. I smiled down at her and pressed my forehead to hers.
"Isabella? Isabella, where are you?" I heard Chief Swan's
anxious voice float from inside their house.
"Chief Swan" I
called and he came running outside. He stopped dead in his tracks
when he saw that I was holding his daughter. And his jaw dropped when
he saw Mike on the floor.
"Who are you?" he asked and I
smiled to myself.
"Chief Swan… my name is Edward Cullen" I
whispered and his jaw dropped even further.
"The Edward from
Isabella's dreams?" he asked and I nodded. Soon, a grin stretched
from ear to ear on his face and he rushed over to me with one hand
extended. I shook it happily and set Bella down on her feet.
"What
happened to Mike?" he asked nonchalantly; as if he didn't
actually care.
"He tried to rape me" Bella said in a small
voice and Chief Swan's eyes popped wide.
BPOV
I
can't even explain the way I felt when Edward had saved me. But I
felt guilty. We couldn't always go around one saving the other. But
I knew, right then, that if spending my life was him was the last
thing I'd ever do, than I'd gladly do it. After I explained to
Charlie everything that had happened, he had taken Mike to the police
station and had asked Edward if he could stay with me. Edward happily
agreed and I was giddy with both nerves and excitement. I was,
however, afraid that everything in my dreams was going to start
coming true.
"Bella?" I heard an anxious whisper and I turned
to the sight of the love of my life and the savior of my
dreams.
"Yes?" I whispered affectionately and he smiled.
"I
love you" he whispered and I blushed. He raised his hand to run his
finger along my burning cheek and I blushed even deeper.
"I love
you too" I whispered and he sighed.
"Can i…" he trailed
off and I raised an eyebrow.
"Can you what Edward?" I
whispered and he looked straight at me with so much intensity that my
heart was immediately pounding.
"Can I kiss you?" he whispered
and my breathing hitched in my throat. It was almost the exact
question I'd asked him in my dream that night. Before he could
respond I threw myself at him and crashed my lips into his. He was
still with surprise at first, but then he responded with as much
enthusiasm as I had.
After about five minutes, I broke away, gasping for air. But I didn't leave Edward arms. I realized that I was sobbing. I crashed my face into his chest and let it all out. I was lying with the man that I'd dreamed of for months now, and I couldn't even stop crying. But, they weren't sad tears. They were the most joyful tears that ever leaked from these sorry eyes. I reached down and got Edward free hand and brought it up to my face. I kissed each knuckle and then, I kissed the tip of each finger, before cupping his hand around my face. I leaned into it and felt the tears pool in his palm. His other hand was busy stroking my hair and my eyes fluttered closed.
…I was walking through the
parking lot when I heard uncontrollable sobbing coming from inside
the cab of my truck. I opened the door to find Alice crying and
rolled up in a ball in the fetal position in the cab of my
truck.
"Alice, what's wrong?" I begged anxiously and she
just rocked back and forth on her side.
"Mike… Mike…. Mike
killed Edward" she whimpered and I felt myself falling. I started
screaming and then I opened my eyes.
"No! Edward, no!" I screamed and
clutched to the nearest thing; which I realized was Edward shirt. His
arms were tight around me and I hugged myself to him.
"Bella,
what's wrong?" he whispered and I stopped momentarily.
"You,
oh, I don't know what I'd do. Mike, killed you" I whimpered and
his eyes turned sad.
"You dreamed that?" he whispered and I
nodded weakly while the sobs racked through my body.
"I love you
so much. I can't handle those dreams anymore. I love you, I love
you, I love you" I said frantically and he rested his chin on top
of my head and I instantly calmed down a fraction. His hand was
rubbing soothing circles into my back.
"I love oyu so much
Bella. I can't even explain it" he whispered and my heart jerked
in my chest.
"Kiss me then" I challenged with a slightly
better mood. I heard him chuckled lightly and I smiled at the sound.
I'd dreamed of that sound for a long time and I wasn't going to
get sick of hearing it. He adjusted me on his chest so that our faces
were only inches apart. I closed my eyes and waited for his lips but
they didn't come. I was about to open my eyes when I felt his
touch. His hands softly tucked a piece of stray hair behind me ear
and he left his hand there. I bit my lip and I felt his lips touch
mine- oh so softly. This wasn't a hot passionate kiss like most
other teenagers lead oyu to believe are necessary; it was a soft kiss
that was so genuinely full of love it was hard to keep from floating
away. His opened his mouth and I did the same and his slid his tongue
slowly into my mouth; making sure it was okay. I nodded slowly and he
slid it slowly the rest of the way in and our tongues danced
gracefully. It was nothing like it was meant to be; it was so much
better. Soon, he pulled away and I still had my eyes closed. He
kissed my lips softly once more, and then he kissed the tip of my
nose, and then each of my eye lids, and finally; my forehead.
"I
am so unbelievably in love with you Bella" he whispered and I
smiled. I finally opened my eyes and saw his staring right back into
them. I lost myself in his soul for the moment.
For many immeasurable moments,
Edward and I stared into each other's eyes and I was in the
happiest dream I'd ever been in. I then considered something.
I
removed my hand from Edward and pinched myself.
"Ouch" I
whimpered.
"What did you do that for?" he whispered and I
smiled.
"You are too good to be anything other than a dream"
I whispered and suddenly his lips were back on mine. I closed my eyes
again and Edward broke away. I kept my eyes closed and heard Edward
tisk his tongue.
"Bella, please, let me lose myself in those
beautiful eyes" he whispered and I smiled. I complied without
hesitation. He leant forward and touched his lips softly to mine, and
I smiled against his mouth.
He groaned against my lips and I
pulled away; afraid I did something wrong.
"Bella, you don't
know how long I've waited to feel you smile against my lips" he
whispered and I leant forward after winking at him. I pressed my lips
to his and a large smile spread across my face.
I could spend forever like this.
