Hey guys! I am soooo
sorry for the lack of updates recently. I've been at my dad's
place then I went to school and then rock ed, so I could have the
time to update! Um, I will try and make it more frequent that I
update, so this chapter is fully Edward's pov. Hope you like it!
Love you all!

"What?"
I asked quickly, pulling myself back to the question she'd just
asked me.
"Will you kiss me?" she whispered and closed her
eyes.
"I would love to but-"I began but her smile stopped me.
I'd never seen her smile like that. It was genuine and purely
filled with joy.
"So you like me enough to kiss me?" she
smiled and I chuckled quietly.
"I like you much, much more than
that you beautiful girl" I said freely and her grin just grew. She
looked more beautiful to me now than she ever had before. Then she
frowned, still not opening her eyes yet. A tear slid down her perfect
cheek and I felt my heart wretch from my body.
"Bella, what's
wrong?" I whispered and she sniffled almost silently.
"I'm
not beautiful" she said with a thick voice and finally opened her
eyes. I frowned in objection and breathed in steadily.
"No, I
suppose that was an understatement, I do apologize" I grinned and
her guarded eyes became soft and welcoming.
"I can't believe
it" she murmured so quietly I assumed she was talking to herself,
but I talked anyway.
"Believe what Bella?" I asked and she
smiled a tiny smile at the corner of her lips.
"You know, I
told the nurse the baby was yours" she breathed quickly and I was
stunned.
"Why?" I whispered and she blushed beautifully.
"Because I liked the idea" I was sure I heard her say but I
wasn't going to push her on it anymore.
"So you never kissed me" Bella
sighed playfully.
"I think you shouldn't ask me that Bella"
I breathed, painfully.
"Why not Edward?" she whimpered. She
sounded so hurt, like she'd been rejected.
"We should wait
for that" I said with a reassuring smile.
"I want to kiss you
now though" she whined, sounding like my little sister Alice did
when she was younger.
I laughed quietly and stroked her cheek
with my finger.
She smiled gently and blinked slowly. Her eyes
looked heavy so I told her to sleep.
"No Edward, I want to talk
to you some more" she objected and I smiled internally.
"Okay,
what do you want to talk about?" I smiled and she put on her
'thinking' face.
"How about we talk about you?" she
smiled brightly and I stiffened.
'Why? There isn't anything
great about me" I sighed and she nodded stubbornly.
"You're
plenty interesting to me" she grinned and my heart about exploded.
"Okay, you ask I'll answer" I suggested and she giggled. It
was an exuberant sound and it set my stomach a-flutter.
"What's
your birthday?" she asked and I answered happily.
"June
20th"
"What's your favourite colour?" she said
and I had to seriously think about it. Brown because of the colour of
her eyes? Her hair? Pink for the colour of her blush? I decided to
answer a safe option.
"Black" I said a little too quickly but
she accepted it.
"Favourite book?" she said and I decided to
let a bit of my sensitive side show.
"Suzanne's diary for
Nicholas" I mumbled and her eyes lit up again.
"I love that
book! It made me cry like a baby when Matt was writing about how they
died!" she said and I smiled.
"Next question?" I asked and
she nodded happily.
"Favourite name?" she asked and I
answered without thinking.
"Isabella"
"Really?" she
said, sounding touched. I nodded sheepishly and looked down.
"Mine
is Edward" she said matter-of-factly and I looked up at her
beautiful eyes.
"Really?" I whispered and she nodded warmly.
We continued to talk for hours and I
could tell she was drowsily adding to the conversations. I put a
movie on and layed down next to her. She curled up on my chest and
laughed at the comedy. It was the movie 'The Hot Chick' with Rob
Schneider. It was a pretty funny movie, all though it was a chick
flick. After it finished Bella was still awake.
"Bells, you
have to sleep you were tired almost six hours ago" I argued and she
looked puzzled.
"I don't know why I can't sleep. It's
just because I don't want to miss a minute of your company" she
suggested and I was soaring. Eventually I talked her in to resting
her eyes and she hesitantly obliged. She kept peeking at me through
her 'shut' eyes and I kept shaking my head at her and giving her
a 'stern' look.
Go to sleep Bella" I whispered and her lip
jutted out in a stubborn gesture.
"No" she argued through a
yawn.
"Okay, bedtime for the sicky" I said and grunted as I
got out from under her. She clung to my shirt and I chuckled at her
feeble attempt at securing me to her.
"Bella, look at me" I
whispered and took hold of her head. She looked at me through heavy
eyes and tried to concentrate.
"You need to sleep" I
said urgently and she rolled her eyes.
"Fine" she said
thickly and I grinned.
"I'll be right here the whole time, I
promise you that" I said and she pouted.
"What's wrong?"
I said gently and she blinked, clearing the tears.
"How can you
be like that when I didn't trust you?" she whimpered and I knew
it was the tiredness talking.
"I'll talk to you later Bella.
Now sleep snow white and I shall awake you when it's time" I
smiled and she snorted.
"Okay, my prince" she mumbled and
closed her eyes groggily.
Bella fell asleep and I was aching.
My heart went out to her in so many ways, and all I could do was
saying I liked her. WHAT AN UNDERSTATEMENT! I loved her, I was sure
of it. I haven't even kissed another girl in two months because
even thinking about it makes my stomach lurch. It should be Bella I
kiss. I decided to tell her these things while she slept. I grabbed
her limp hand and played with her fingers gently.
"Bella,
you're amazing. I've never…loved anyone; before now.
You're so precious to me. You see that star in your eye? That's
my heart. Please don't break it" I whispered and closed my eyes.
When I felt something squeeze my hand, my head snapped up. I looked
at Bella and she had tears streaming down her face.
"Bella, are
you okay?" I said urgently and she smiled.
"I won't break
yours if you don't break mine" she whispered.
