A/N: Thank you for the lovely reviews that make me smile. :)
Just to let everyone know this is supposed to mid-July right now in the story.
BPOV
It was late.
Almost one in the morning. I was still awake though because Edward was over. I loved it so much when he came in the middle of the night. I might be silly, but I found it unbelievably romantic.
Edward and I were currently sitting on the edge of my bed. He had discovered one of the old photo albums I kept in my room. I was resting my head on his shoulder and too tired to care how many embarrassing pictures he might come by.
"You were beautiful even as a child," Edward commented.
"I was so clumsy," I admitted but to tired to blush, "I was on a first name basis with all the staff at the E.R. in Phoenix."
"You were clumsy?" Edward teased.
I laughed a little. "But now I've learned what not to do. For example, when I was little I would run up the stairs. That's how I obtained most of my injuries."
Edward closed the photo album, laughing. "So you fell up the stairs?"
"Well I'm a professional klutz," I explained proudly.
"You truly are amazing, Bella."
I laughed then tried to stifle a yawn but couldn't. And Edward noticed.
"Your tired," He said frowning. Edward put the photos away.
"No I'm not," I argued. Then I yawned again.
"I should go. You need sleep."
"Nope," I said, crossing my arms.
Then, he cheated. Edward looked up at me through his eyelashes. I felt myself stop breathing. My mind became mush and I couldn't remember what we had just been talking about.
"Please," Edward pleaded still cheating.
I blinked once. "What?" I asked breathlessly.
"Please go to sleep."
Then I remembered what I was arguing about. I shook my head quickly. "Cheater," I mumbled.
"What was that?" Edward asked smirking.
"Nothing," I said innocently.
Edward rolled his eyes at me. I laid back on my bed, deciding to give in just this once. I was really, really sleepy.
"Does then mean I win?" Edward asked smugly.
"Don't get used to it," I grumbled then sighed. "I wish you didn't have to go."
Edward sat down on the bed in front of me and placed his hand on the side of my face softly. I tell by his eyes that something was bothering him.
"What's wrong?" I whispered.
"Sometimes I wish we didn't have to sneak around. That I could see you more than just the middle of the night."
"Sneaking around is worth it, though, as long as I get to see you," I said truthfully.
"True. Anything is worth doing as long as it leads me to you, Bella," Edward said. He looked up at me then with a different emotion filling his eyes, "I love you."
All traces of my sleepiness were gone as I shot into his arms. "I love you too," I said holding Edward close to me.
I pulled back on to lean back in to kiss Edward. This kiss was different than any other kiss though. It was full of nothing but love and more love.
"I love you," I whispered.
"I love you," Edward said back and kissed me again.
After he pulled away, Edward stood up. There was no way he was leaving now.
"Hey!" I exclaimed, "You can't leave now." I grabbed his arm and tried to pull him back on the bed.
"It is late. You do need to sleep," Edward said but sat down anyway.
"Stay, please," I begged. I didn't want to be away from him.
"Okay," Edward said and laid down next to me.
I cuddled up next to him and sighed at his heavenly scent. I wouldn't be able to sleep alone ever again after this.
"I love you," I whispered one last time before falling asleep.
That last thing I heard was Edward whisper, "You are my everything."
I woke up the next morning incredibly comfortable. My eyes begged to remain closed, but I knew I needed to check the time.
The first thing I saw was Edward. He was still sleeping and looked so peaceful. I smiled then glanced at the clock. It was six thirty.
Regrettably, I decided I needed to wake up Edward. I didn't want him to be in trouble because of me.
"Edward," I said softly. I kissed his cheek once. I saw the corners of his mouth turn up.
"I know your awake," I whispered hovering right above his lips.
Edward leaned up closing the gap between our lips. It was sweet and gentle but I could still feel tingles in my toes.
"Good morning, love," Edward murmured against my lips.
"It is sixty thirty," I told him.
Edward chuckled. "Now you're eager for me to leave."
"No, definitely not, but I don't want you to get in trouble," I said, sitting up.
"Believe me, I doubt my parents would notice if I was gone for a week," Edward said joking, but I could tell that angered him.
"You know that isn't true, but even if it were, I'm worried one of my sisters is going to bust through the door any second," I told him.
"Alright. I'm going," Edward said getting up.
I kissed him once last time before he descended down the trellis.
"Goodbye, love," Edward yelled from the ground.
I laughed and waved back to him. I watched as he walked away then sighed in contentment.
I hopped back in my bed and tried to get a little more sleep. As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard my door get thrown open. By the time my eyes were open, Alice had tackled me on my bed. Alice was squealing like crazy.
"What Alice?" I asked giggling. Her excitement right now seemed to be contagious.
"Yesterday was perfect," Alice sighed.
"No, last night was perfect," I countered.
"What happened?" Alice demanded.
"You first."
"Okay. Yesterday I took Izzy to the park and introduced her to Jasper," Alice started.
"That's great Alice."
"And Izzy loved Jasper. He liked her too. It was so cute," Alice said dreamily. "I have decided to end things with Greg for good."
"Finally," I said over-dramatically.
"I know. I'm going to talk to him today. But enough about little old me. What happened?" Alice asked.
"Well, last night Edward came over," I said. Alice nodded and gestured for me to continue. "And he told me." I stopped to annoy Alice.
"What? What!?" She yelled, shaking me.
I held up a hand for her to stop and she did. I took a deep breath then ran for the bathroom. I was sure to look the door behind me. Alice started pounding on the door in seconds. I ignored her and turned on the shower.
"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN! OPEN THE DOOR NOW!" Alice screamed and continued to pound on the door. I was a little afraid she might break it.
I hopped into the shower and ignored the constant shouts and banging coming from Alice. I made sure to take a half an hour. I wasn't usually evil like this to Alice but this was fun.
I came out of the bathroom and grabbed my clothes, ignoring Alice who was fuming on my bed. I would probably regret torturing her later.
I got dress then walked back into the bedroom and sat down next to Alice.
Alice stared at me with her infamous puppy-dog eyes.
"I'm going to tell you, no need to pout," I said laughing at her.
Alice stopped and literally started bouncing with anticipation.
"Edward told me he loved me," I said. Before I got the last word out, Alice had tackled me.
"Eeeee!" She squealed. "I'm so happy for you."
"Thanks Alice," I said, "Now you go fix things." I pushed her towards the door.
"See you in a little bit," Alice said with a wave.
Everything was going perfectly. I was in love with the most amazing person in the world. Alice was going to finally be with the person she actually loved. And Charlie was still the oblivious dad I was never so glad to have until right now. So, yes. Everything was great.
Review, please.
The drama is about to begin.
