Kay so I'm sorry I'm dragging this on for so long, but thank you so much for bothering to fave me and review, haha those things make me ecstatic :P
And by the way, when I wrote "tomorrow", I meant like the next break of dawn kind of thing, not the technical after-12am-tomorrow xD
Hope you like! (:
Chapter 10
(BPOV)
I rolled over, frustrated. The digital clock screamed one in the morning at me, the glaring red numbers advancing by the minute. I had been lying in bed for what seemed like eternity now, yet I couldn't go to sleep, and the wedding was in merely hours. I didn't know how I did it, but my body started to hyperventilate at its own will, my lungs giving way at their own accord.
It was all Alice's fault, really. My annoying vampire sister had all of a sudden become traditional, insisting Edward and I be separated until I finally walk down the aisle—if I don't slip and fall, that is. It was so irrational, the last I had seen of my angel was when he sent me home, but it already felt like I was dying from the inside out, my own personal hell. I had grown so accustomed to his stone cold body beside mine, his glorious voice as he hummed my favorite song in the world, one night without Edward seemed impossible.
I groaned, cutting off the oxygen that was really all that kept me alive as I hid my face in my pillow. I was going insane.
Before I could fall any further into the welcoming arms of desperation, I heard a soft brush come from my window. My breath caught—the window was now wide open, but nobody was there; nobody should have been there. It couldn't have been any of the Cullens, could it? Alice would kill anyone who'd disturb my sleep; I apparently "needed it for tomorrow". I started to panic; my heart went erratic, not at all helping with my attempt to calm down.
Then I heard a silent chuckle come from behind me, the laugh I knew. I heaved a sigh of relief, turned around, narrowing my eyes to glower at him.
I couldn't. All my willpower seemed to have crumbled to the ground as I lay my eyes on him. Edward was sitting on my bed, beside me; his golden eyes were gleaming in the midnight light, gentle. His lips twitched on both ends as he met my eyes. I caught my breath again, but this time the reason being the butterflies in my stomach. How was he doing this?
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you." He grinned at his own remark; I hated how he'd always found my reactions so incredibly hilarious. But if that meant I got to hear his velvet laughter more often, I would have to be insane to have minded any longer.
My silent contemplation was interrupted when he suddenly brought me into his marble embrace, cradling me on his laps. I gawked at him in continuous silence; his vampire strength never seized to amaze me. To do him justice, everything about him amazed me.
"Bella, Bella, you know I hate that." His face was pained as he dragged me out of my train of thoughts. "Tell me what you're thinking, please?"
"Nothing. You're just…dazzling me." I was choking the words out as I tried to return to my coherent state. Edward's crooked smile returned to his breathtaking features.
"I can't help it." He teased, quoting me from the first time we'd sat together at lunch, I could still remember. It all seemed so silly now, how nervous I was with approaching Edward with my questions.
My flashback was cut off when Edward started to lean into me, his cool breath yet again mesmerizing me into a state of helplessness. Then I remembered Alice; Nice timing, Bella.
"A-Aren't you supposed to stay home? Alice is going to kill us." I whispered when his lips softly grazed against mine. His responding chuckle was so expected as he gently pulled away, amused.
"Don't worry about her. I made a deal with Emmett." A devious smile spread across his face as he mentioned his bear of a brother. "He's not going to let her get in the way tonight."
"But she's going to tear your head off tomorrow…maybe even mine." I bit my lip as I pictured Alice, frantic over the fact that her bride and groom had broken the rules.
"I'll buy her a new car, Alice wouldn't mind, there's absolutely nothing to worry about, love." Edward's voice was soothing as his ice cold fingers stroked my cheek. "You're tired, go to sleep."
My angel set me down on the bed as he wrapped me in my blanket—typical Edward—then lay down beside me. I curled into him, closing the distance between us while his arms encircled me.
"I love you." He whispered in my ear, then started to hum the song I knew so well, my lullaby.
I stretched up to plant a kiss in the arch of his snow cold neck, then gave into the exhaustion that was now intolerably overwhelming. Tomorrow was so close, yet so far away. Tomorrow, I'd be married to him, I'd be his forever, and him, mine.
Yes yes that's..that :P
Thanks for bothering to read! Reviewwwwwww (:
