Ok, this isn't like most of the other chapters in this story. There's absolutely no plot in it and it's a little less clean than the rest near the end... (definitely not M but not exactly K either.) And I know what you guys are thinking...it's not like they're "fulfilling" the Eclipse "promises". That may come later (I honestly don't know yet) This is postNew Moon, preEclipse, just so you know.

Edward's Point Of View

"I love you, too, Dad." Bella soft voice was broken by a sob. "Bye."

She turned back to me, a small smile creeping over her features. I wrapped my arms around her delicate shoulders and leaned my face into her hair. Her scent was so amazing –so mouthwatering, both literally and figuratively. But I'd never do anything to hurt her, not again. I already made that mistake once and it could have cost both of us our lives.

I was so proud of my angel. It took a lot of courage to call Charlie and apologize like she did. Not to mention that it would be that much easier to keep my promise to her now. I had to resort to some…unorthodox methods to do so since she had moved in. A few boundaries were broken and even more were bent. However, I wouldn't take any of it back. If anything, I wish I could have done more…

That thought surprised me. Even though I was still a teenage boy, I was usually able to control my thoughts when it came to that area of my relationship with Bella. I was always afraid that my self-control wasn't good enough, and I'd give it to my desires to have her in everyway. So, like they were the majority of days, I my thoughts were in check today. For the most part…

Bella looked up at me, her chocolate eyes melting into my butterscotch ones. Chocolate and butterscotch –I may not remember much from my human life, but I did know that the mixture was considered delectable.

"I need a human moment," she whispered, and, in that whisper, I detected the slightest bit of despair. I warmed my dormant heart to know she had that particular reaction to me. It was because of that simply pulled her closer.

"Edward…" I suppose her tone was intended to warn me of possible consequences if I didn't release her. Instead, I found it endearing and not the slightest bit threatening. I tightened my grip on her slightly more and rested my chin on her head; I was too afraid of hurting her to pull her as close as I would have liked, though.

"Please?" I shook my head. Bella just glared.

"What if I don't let you go?" I questioned.

"No kisses for a week," she finally responded after a moment of thought.

"You'll never make it."

"Oh, really?"

I nodded. "I'd bet on it."

"Fine," she said defiantly. "Unless you let me go right now, no kisses for a week. And that's a promise, Mr. Cullen."

I chuckled and tightened my hold on her more. She narrowed her eyes more in response.

"I mean it," she said, unsuccessfully trying to break out of the iron cage that was my arms.

"I'm sure you do…right now. In an hour or so, though, I'm not so sure," I teased. Then, I leaned down to press my lips firmly to hers.

At first she gave in, wrapping her arms around my neck pulling me closer for a second, before she remembered her conditions. Then she stopped, and pulled back, trying –without avail– to frown at me.

"You know, Isabella, I expected you to last a bit longer than three minutes." To that, she stuck her tongue out. She was just so adorable.

"That's not fair, Edward. And I really need a shower. Please let me go."

"Oh, it's unfair, is it?"

"Yes, it is! You seduced me!" Her tone was so serious I couldn't help but laugh.

"I'll let you go on one condition, then," I told her. She raised her eyebrows, urging me to continue, and I leaned closed to continue. "Allow me to join you."

I was shocked by my own forwardness. I would normally never say such a thing, especially to her. That's why I was normally so careful with my thoughts. And Bella –being Bella– blushed crimson. "Edward!" she squealed, pushing me gently.

I couldn't help but smile through my slight embarrassment. "Bella," I replied in the same tone as her, just a few octaves lower.

Just at that minute, Rosalie opened the door. "Hey, Bella, mind keeping the squeaking under control? I think you just killed my eardrum, and that's really saying something considering I'm a vampire and it usually takes a lot more than high frequency to damage me."

"I'll remember that next time if it's not too much of an inconvenience. Okay?" Bella told Rose. I was proud of her for telling her off like that, and, I'll admit, all the more attracted to her because of it.

"Thanks," Rose said just as curtly, and then slammed the door.

It took a second for either of us to speak. Finally, the silence was broken.

"My human minute, please?" Bella questioned timidly. I could understand why she was so worried to bring up the subject again. I still can't believe I said that to her!

"Of course," I sighed, "and I'm sorry about my earlier comment. That was utterly inappropriate."

Bella frowned. "I was kind of hoping you were serious…"

Then, giggling, she grabbed her bag and ran to the bathroom, tightly closing and locking the door behind her. All the while, I sat on the couch dumbfounded.

Finally, when everything caught up with me, I yelled to her, "Isabella that is not funny."

The only reply I received was the sound of her musical laugh.


So there you have it! Sorry for the overly fluffiness...this is definitely a filler chapter but I was afraid I'd be killed if I didn't update soon. Don't forget to review!!!!
