A/N I'm so sorry for not updating as soon as the review thingy said 20. I just wasn't paying attention. Anyway, the little section is an overview of what happened for four months (it's not anything significant) and it also sets theTA for the rest of the chapter. Enjoy and review!
Edward continued to meet me on the North Tower for several months. Every night I spent with him was like a dream come true. I never could have imagined meeting someone as perfect as Edward. We would talk for hours on the North Tower. I would tell him about my mother and things going on in the castle and he would tell me all about training to be a knight and about the other knights. Everything went like that until the four month mark. Then things changed.
I went to meet Edward as usual expecting a good jousting story tonight. He was already there when I arrived. He was looking out over the land. You could see for miles on this tower. That's why it was my favorite place in the castle. He must have heard me because he turned around just as I came into the tower.
"Greetings Bella. And how was your day today?" My heart stuttered just hearing him say my name.
"Fair I'd say. Mother is insisting that I get more gowns for the ball tomorrow. She told me that some of the knights are invited. Will I see you there?" I was hoping I would, even though we would have to avoid each other as long as my mother was there.
"Yes I'll be there. I look forward to formally meeting Queen Guinevere."
"You know you can't tell her about us. You can't tell anyone!" I was so scared about someone finding out about us that I told him this almost every night. He started to come closer to me.
"Yes Bella. I know. And I haven't. I would get in just as much trouble as you would."
"You know that isn't true."
"Yes but did it make you feel better?"
"Yes," I said blushing. He was holding me now.
We stayed like that for a little while. Every so often I would look up at his face and he seemed to be deliberating about something.
"Edward, what is it? Is there something you need to tell me?" Please, PLEASE don't let him say he doesn't want to see me anymore! PLEASE!
"Bella would you mind sitting down please?" Oh no, he is going to say he doesn't want to see me anymore. "Bella, can I try something?""What do you want to try, Edward?" Relief flooded over me. He wanted to keep seeing me.
"Just something...." He leaned in closer, his voice trailing off. I closed my eyes.
Than he did something my mother never would have allowed me to do with a knight. He kissed me. His warm lips touched mine. It seemed as if a fire was burning through me. I wanted more. I pulled him closer to me and grabbed his hair in my hands. He held his arms around my waist and he puled himself against me. I opened my mouth and was gasping for air. His scent flooded around me, filling my senses entirely. Our lips were moving in sync with each other. Neither of us heard someone walking up the stairs to the tower, but both of us heard the loud gasp of horror of someone else in the tower. Someone who saw us. Saw us together. Saw us kiss. We pulled apart immediately but we both knew it was too late. Someone had seen us and the damage was done. It was too late to do anything. The person had already ran down the stairs, probably going to tell Guinevere. All Edward and I could do was stare at each other in blatant horror. In my minds eye, I saw events flashing before me. My mother's shocked look as she heard the news. Edward being banished from the kingdom. Myself being stripped of my title and forced to live on the streets as a beggar. As image after image flashed, everything suddenly went black. The last thing I remember is Edward's face still twisted in horror saying over and over, "I'm sorry."
