DISCLAIMER: STEPHENIE MEYER OWNS THESE CHARACTERS, SADLY I DON'T
I felt someone kiss my head in the morning and groaned. Rolling into something hard and nuzzling my head into it. I felt a chuckle radiate through his chest and sighed, cuddling closer into Edwards cold body. He ruffled my hair and I looked up into his eyes, instantly loosing any though as I stared into those never ending orbs. There was so much emotion in his eyes and I scrunched my eyebrows trying to read them, but as soon as I was starting to get an idea his eyes went blank and he sighed pushing me away.
"Renee is getting up; I should head back out to the couch." He kissed my forehead and rolled out of the comfy bed. I pulled the old quilt up and over my head falling back asleep quickly.
"Sweetie, wake up. You only have a few hours before you need to head back to Forks. I want to go for a walk with you." My mother was patting my side, trying to wake me up from the glorious slumber I was in.
"C'mon mom just a few more minutes." I said and pulled the pillow over my head.
"Edward, can you help me here?" I heard her ask and felt an icy hand replace where my mothers was.
"Bella, wake up." I could hear the amusement coming from his voice. "I will force you out of this bed." He said and I knew he was serious.
"No." I said like the stubborn person I was.
"Always stubborn." He muttered and I felt him lay down next to me, his hand moving my body closer to his. He rubbed his nose along my neck and up to my jaw, breathing in my scent. I sighed and leaned into him. His lips touched mine for a second and he pulled away, rolling my body so that I was facing him. He took my face into his hands and he kissed me, hard. I instinctively locked my fingers into his bronze hair.
After a few moments I pressed my tongue to his lips and he pulled away, giving me a pointed look. God, we were going to get married soon and he was acting like we'd never kissed before. I groaned and lay on my back, breathing heavily.
Once my breathing was back to normal, I looked over to Edward and saw his eyes closed. He looked so peaceful I didn't want to disturb him. I sat up and got out of the cozy bed and went over to my suitcase filled with Alice's fashions. I pulled out a pair of jogging shorts and a plain t-shirt. I turned to Edward and saw him watching me. I smiled at him and he returned with his crooked grin, his faces twinkling in the morning sun.
"I'm going to change and then my mom and I are probably going for a walk. Are you okay by yourself?" I asked.
"Yes mother." He said sarcastically.
"Hey, I don't want you to get lonely." I said and walked into the adjoining bathroom brushing my hair and changing into my clothes. "I'll be back soon."
FAST FORWARD TO ECLIPSE PG 66.
Renee and I ambled along the sidewalk, trying to stay in the range of the infrequent palm tree shadows. Though it was early, the heat was smothering. The air was so heavy with moisture that just breathing in and out was giving my lungs a workout.
"Bella?" my mother asked, looking out past the sand to the lightly crashing waves as she spoke.
"What is it, Mom?"
She sighed, not meeting my gaze. "I'm worried…."
"What's wrong?" I asked, anxious at once. "What can I do?"
"It's not me." She shook her head. "I'm worried about you…and Edward."
Renee finally looked at me when she said his name, her face apologetic.
"Oh," I mumbled, fixing my eyes on a pair of joggers as they passed us, drenched in sweat.
"You two are more serious than I'd been thinking." She went on.
I frowned, quickly reviewing the last two days in my head. Edward and I had barely touched-in of her, at least. I wondered if Renee was about to give me a lecture on responsibility too. I didn't mind the way I had with Charlie. It wasn't embarrassing with my mom. After all, I'd been the one giving her that lecture time and time again in the last ten years.
"There's something….strange about the way you two are together," she murmured, her forehead creasing over her troubled eyes. "The way he watches you- it's so…protective. Like he's about to throw himself in front of a bullet to save you of something."
I laughed, though I was still not able to meet her gaze. "That's a bad thing?"
"No." she frowned as she struggled for the words. "It's just different. He's very intense about you…and very careful. I feel like I don't really understand you relationship. Like there's some secret I'm missing…"
"I think you're imagining things, Mom," I said quickly, struggling to keep my voice light. There was a flutter in my stomach. I'd forgotten how much my mother saw. Something about her simple view of the world cut through all the distractions and pierced tight to the truth of things. This had never been a problem before. Until now, there had never been a secret I couldn't tell her.
"It's not just him." She set her lips defensively. "I wish you could see how you around him."
"What do you mean?"
"The way you move- you orient yourself around him without even thinking about it. When he moves, even a little bit, you adjust your position at the same time. Like magnets…or gravity. You're like a satellite, or something. I've never seen anything like it."
She pursed her lips and stared down.
"Don't tell me," I teased, forcing a smile. "You're reading mysteries again, aren't you? Or is it sci-fi this time?"
Renee flushed a delicate pink. "That's beside the point."
"Found anything good?"
"well there's this one- but that doesn't matter. We're talking about you right now."
"You should stick to romance mom. You know how you freak yourself out.
Her lips turned up at the corners. "I'm being silly, aren't I?"
For half a second I couldn't answer. Renee was so easily swayed. Sometimes it was a good thing, because not all of her ideas were practical. But it pained me to see how quickly she caved into my trivializing, especially since she was dead right this time.
She looked up, and I controlled my expression.
"Not silly- just being a mom."
She laughed and then gestured grandly toward the white sands stretching to the blue water.
"And all this isn't enough to get you to move back in with your silly om?"
I wiped my hand dramatically across my forehead, and then pretended to wring my hair out.
"You get used to the humidity." She promised.
"You can get used to the rain, too." I countered.
She elbowed me playfully and then took my hand as we walked back to her house.
If you didn't notice I changed the ending of the chapter from walked back to the car to back to the house.
Well, next chapter with probably be the last chapter. Edward and Bella will say their goodbyes and off they go back to Forks!
Thanks again!
