All I Believe In

By: The Magic Numbers & Amadou & Mariam

I may never ever find an answer

I may never ever find a cure

I may never risk another lover

Oh, believe me.

I may never ever walk on water

I may never ever walk away

I may never get the chance to tell you

Oh, believe me.

Edward threw his head back laughing at my joke. His teeth glittered in the moon light. His tan skin looked pale, and his hair reflected lighter streaks. His eyes crinkled when he smiled and laughed. The green in them were lighter and they sparkled with happiness.

"Then you'd give me a look like I'd just done the most terrible thing on earth. You still give that look," he laughed.

I rolled my eyes, but laughed anyway.

When we calmed down after saying several more jokes I said, "Do you think we're close?"

"To where?"

"Home."

"Oh, I'm pretty sure we are. We must be," he said looking straight ahead his eyebrows pulling together in a way the I thought was adorable.

It was nice to look at him without him knowing. Slowly forcing myself to love him. I looked at his sharp jawline. The shadows the moon cast just below his cheekbone. His soft pink lips. His sparkling, light green eyes framed by his long black eyelashes, and his perfect eyebrows. His bed hair curled slightly and stuck in every direction. It was nice seeing him like this.

I slowly realized that maybe I did love him. I loved to see him happy, laughing, and joking. Before I'd never gotten to be with him like this. I'd never been the reason for him to smile and laugh.

"Isabella?"

"What?" I said realizing that he had noticed me staring at him.

I looked down at my feet and felt blood rush to my cheeks.

"Bella?" he said instead of my whole name.

I had to admit, I liked Bella more than Izzy.

The tone of his voice though said that he wanted me to look up at him. So I did.

"Yes?"

"I swear to god I won't ask you this again, but do you love me? Please be honest."

I knew I would say yes no matter how I really felt, but I did think about it anyway.

I didn't love him before because I'd only wanted to be independent from my parents, and that I had never tried to make him happy. I had never made him smile that beautiful crooked smile.

I looked into his green eyes and said, "Yes"

It was I real YES. I didn't care what my parents thought anymore. I felt like a burden had been lifted from my shoulders. Like I didn't have a worry in the world anymore.

By now we had both stopped walking. We stood in a field, the dirt path cut straight through it, and a stubby tree stood near by us. The moon and stars sparkled in the dark sky.

His crooked smile turned into a full, top and bottom teeth, smile. I blushed even more. Which made him laugh lightly for only a second. I smiled largely at him then we elapsed back into silence. It wasn't an awkward silence. We just stood there like idiots staring at each eyes and smiling.

I was a little afraid that he would ask me to marry him because that's what people did now. When you both knew you loved each other it wouldn't be long till you were engaged, but he didn't ask me.

Thank god, I didn't think I could take on that much yet.

He just took my bare hand, winding his fingers through mine, and guiding me down the path. While rubbing soothing circles on the back of my hand with his thumb.

His hand was warm in the breezy night air. It warmed my whole body, melting my frozen, selfish veins. I could feel the pulse in his hand. I counted them as we walked quietly. The only sound was our shoes on the dirt and dead grass. We both looked straight ahead down the dark path.

We stayed like that even when we saw the dim lights of our house and until we reached the area between the two doors that lead into our rooms.

I looked up at him, and he turned and took my other hand to, so that we faced each other.

"I'll see you in the morning?" It sounded more like a question.

He just smirked at me like I know should the answer, and of course I did.

I was suddenly aware of how close we were standing next to each other. His face was only inches away from mine.

He seemed to realize it at the same moment I did. He flushed a little; embarrassed of himself.

Seeing that vulnerable look on his face made lean in and press my lips to his.

He seemed surprised a moment (I was also surprised with myself) because his lips stayed frozen, but then his lips softened and moved with mine. They brushed softly in synchronized movements.

I felt myself melting. When we just held hands he only melted my veins, but now my whole body was melting. The selfishness, the things that kept me from seeing reality melted away.

I felt like this was a new chapter no, a new book, of my life. He didn't change me, but he did open my eyes. He painted me a new picture of the world. He pointed out the details, the light, and the happiness. Before I only looked at the darkness, and everything negative. I had never seen all the happiness, the smiles, and the little things that could make you happy. I had just ignored them, and pushed them away.

The walls between me and Edward didn't crash or cause pain, but melted away. We both wanted them gone. We both brought them down. We turned them from a solid and in to a liquid.

I'd once read in a book, "That kind of love that cancan burn down the world or raise it up in glory." Before I thought I knew what it meant. I lied to myself saying that was me and Jacob, but now, in this moment I could really understand it. It was me and Edward.

Our lips gently pulled away, and he leaned his forehead against mine keeping his eyes closed so I closed mine back as well. I suddenly noticed that my arms had somehow wrapped around his neck, and his were around my waist.

"Bella," he said.

I wasn't sure if it was a question or not so I said, "Yes?"

I felt him smile telling me it wasn't a question, that he was saying my name just to say it. I sneaked a look at him. He was already looking at me. He looked like he was the happiest boy in the world.

I giggled, feeling like I was the happiest girl in the world.

A few moments later we said goodnight, silently separated, and went to our own rooms.
