Chapter 8

I stood up from the bathroom floor and made my way out. I smoothed my hair and checked for any red marks, thank fully there was none.

I entered the dinner table to see my mum and dad on their phones

"What's going on?" I asked Edward while he eat his dinner

"Your parents have just got a call from work" I nodded, my parents hated having to separate from each other.

"Bella myself and your father have to go out" I nodded at my apologetic mother.

"Be safe" I shouted after them.

I looked towards Edward and he looked at me, we heard the cars pull out of the drive. We launched at each other. Kissing each other frantically. We pulled away to breath and looked at each other.

"What to do now" Edward said smirking I smiled and bit my lip.

"So, what do you want to be when you get older?" he asked, we were sitting on the floor near the fire place. He was eating his dinner while I sipped on some wine

"Not sure, I like to cook so maybe a chef or perhaps a writer."

"That's good you're a great cook you would please easily" he pushed his plate away which was now empty.

"Well you didn't scrape the pattern off" I said chuckling, he scoffed. He sat up and put some wine in his glass.

"So, how many boyfriends have you had?" he questioned while sipping his wine.

I looked down embarrassed my arm was getting a little sore from supporting myself up so I lied down and looked at him "None"

He was shocked, his eyes gone wide I nearly chuckled

"None what so ever?"

"Nope, you're my first"

"So that means you're a…virgin"

"Correct"

Edward's POV

My stomach was doing flips, I was dancing inside. She was a virgin no-one had touched her. Yet that was a bad thing also she was a virgin and the way she said I'm her first indicated she didn't have any experience, which was good, Tanya had a lot of experience. The knowledge made me a little uncomfortable as to how many men have seen her naked. But Bella was pure.

"You still with me" she asked

"Yes, it's just I find it hard to believe, have you seen yourself you're a goddess"

She looked down again clearly embarrassed by my comment "No I'm not Edward I'm just a regular girl and I like that I don't like to doll myself up because I like to be on the shelf unnoticed" her eyes showed pain, like something happened to her in the past.

"Did anything happen to make you feel like this?"

She sighed and continued "I was bullied at school" she started I saw her gulp

"Hey it's fine" I lied down with her and stroked her arm.

"No it's fine, well they used to make fun of my appearance saying my nose was too big, or about my size. My parents never knew about the bullying they thought everything was fine but" she shrugged "It obviously wasn't" she then traced her arms "I started to cut myself, and it happened because of a simple argument. I hate confrontation but I do it now because I don't want to take shit from other people anymore. I spent my entire high school life being bullied on" her eyes were a lighter brown which I found unusual but non the less beautiful a single tear rolled down the side of her face "It was hard because the people who I thought were my friends weren't. even when I got out of school I had people calling me up saying they were someone I knew I told them I didn't give that person my number so they said they were someone else" she whimpered and I hugged her close "one day my mum heard the conversation and she was mad at me for not saying anything" her tiny shaking hands clung to me for dear life. "That's why I don't go out I hate people seeing me I feel self conscious that there looking at me and thinking how ugly I am"

"O Bella" I kissed her forehead "You are not ugly sweetheart, do you know why people are bullies?"

I felt her shake her head "Apart from the fact their all basterds" I chuckled at her comment

"No, it's because there's something about them that they don't like, in a twisted way they focus on someone and point the stuff they hate about them to other people"

I felt her calm down. I hugged her towards me tightly. Time passed from 8:00 to 12:00. the night was passing over the sky.

I then heard her soft breathing. I looked down and saw she was asleep. I smiled she looked beautiful when she slept.

"No….stop it" she whimpered and my smile immediately vanished "I didn't do it" she cried

"Bella calm down love, its fine" I placed smoothing marks on her neck and she calmed down a bit. I felt the anger return in my veins. How could anyone bully her, this angel? She was so kind and considerate

"That tickles" she giggled and I smiled as she was back to a nice dream I stoked her hair. And continuously kissed her forehead, nose, cheek, eyelids, lips. Neck anywhere in reach with out moving. "Edward" she sighed smiling, my soul was ecstatic she was dreaming of me she was smiling.
