Edward's hand wrapped around mine as we continued walking downstairs and out of the studio. He held the door open for me and walked out to his car. We got in the separate sides of his shiny silver Volvo. "Can we go for a drive so we can talk?" he asked me.
I nodded, smiling gently. He started the car and drove a short distance to a secluded coast line. He turned to me. "What does this mean?" I asked shyly.
"Well, I was hoping that we could be together now. Like together, together," he shared.
"I'd really like that," I added.
He shot me an award winning smile. "How long?" he asked. I must have shown my confusion because he carried on, "You said you loved me" I smiled, "For some time now. How long?"
"Since freshman year of high school," I replied.
"Me too," he said, his eyes wide, "If only I said something then, we could have been together for years already."
"It doesn't matter, we're together now," I reassured him, reaching out and put my hand on his cheek.
"This has to be the best day of my life," he sighed.
I smiled, agreeing silently. I leaned across the seat and kissed him again. "I could get used to that," I sighed.
He nodded frantically. We shared our happiness and excitement for a few more minutes before deciding to go back to the house. "Should we tell them right away?" I asked him.
"Good question love," my heart skipped a beat, "On one hand, I want to shout it from rooftops, but on the other hand, it could be fun to mess with them," he mused. We pulled into the driveway and he came around to get the door for me. I thanked him and blushed. "Good points. Well, why don't we tell them because if we don't, I wouldn't be able to do this," I got on my tip toes and kissed him, "And to be honest, I really like to do that."
He smiled and agreed, "Me too."
He took my hand and we walked to the door. I opened it and saw Alice sitting on the couch, flipping through a bridal magazine. She looked up at us and waved. Her eyes traveled from our faces down to our conjoined hands. She looked at me confused. "How was the recording," she asked suspiciously.
"Great," we answered together, making my smile grow.
She watched us suspiciously as we walked further inside. I walked around and sat down on the couch across from her. Edward shed his jacket before coming and sitting down next to me, draping an arm across my shoulders. Alice watched us before jumping up and running to the other room. "I bet you a kiss that she's getting the others," Edward whispered in my ear.
I shivered before responding, "I'll take that action."
He laughed and the others filed in the room. "Pay up," he smiled.
"Fine," I fake sighed. I leaned over and kissed him hard. "You win."
"Did you just kiss Edward?" Rose asked.
"Yes, she did," Edward replied easily.
Rose's jaw dropped along with Jasper's. "What? Am I not allowed to kiss my boyfriend?" I asked innocently.
Alice an Emmett's jaw followed suit of Rose and Jasper. Edward smiled beside me. Then, Alice started squealing, so loud that I almost covered my ears. She squealed and jumped up and down. "When? How?" Rose asked, seeming like she was at a loss for words.
"Just now," Edward said, "Bella confessed out of the blue and I told her I felt the same."
Alice squealed again and Emmett came over, sitting down next to us. "Finally," he sighed, "It took you two long enough. I'm happy for you."
I smiled and thanked him softly. "Story time!" Alice demanded, jumping up from the couch. She grabbed Rose and my arms and dragged us into her room. Once we were all in, she closed the door and turned to me. "Tell us everything."
Rose nodded. I sighed happily and dove into the story of the recording. When I got to the part where I told him, Alice stopped me. "I can't believe it, you were the complete opposite. What sparked this all of a sudden?"
"Well when I heard Edward telling Emmett that he loved me…" I started, but I was cut off mid-sentence.
"What?!" Rose exclaimed.
"On my birthday, I picked up the phone and overheard a conversation between Emmett and Edward, Edward was telling him that he was in love with me. Didn't I tell you?"
"No!" shouted Alice , "You most certainly did not!"
"Oh, my bad. Anyways, when I heard that, I knew I would have to tell him. I was just going to wait for the perfect moment. I also heard that he was being blackmailed into dating Tanya. So when he announced that they were over, I planned how." I said.
"Which you already told us," Rose finished, smiling, "Well, I'm so happy for you, I know how long you've wanted this."
I smiles shyly at her. "Thanks you for tell us, you are excused." Alice beamed.
I scrambled out of the room. Edward was nowhere to be seen. Emmett was sitting on the couch, his eyes fixed on the game playing on the television. I opened my mouth to ask where Edward was, but my voice didn't come out. "He's in his room," Emmett told me, not moving his gaze away from the game.
"Thanks Em," I replied, turning and walking upstairs to Edward's room. I stood there, debating whether or not to knock. I finally rapped the door once with my knuckles and his velvety voice told me to come in. I opened the door and went inside, shutting the door behind me. He looked up and smiled brightly from his spot on the couch. "I was hoping it was you."
I smiled and him. He opened his arms, inviting me in. I walked over and took the place in my arms. My place… I thought. I smiled at that. His arms were warm and strong, just like they always were. But this time it was different, a good different. I leaned my head back on his chest and sighed happily. He leaned his head on mine. "I get to hear your song now… Right?" he asked, out of the blue.
"What?" I questioned, thoroughly confused.
"You told me awhile back that you wrote a song for me. Can I hear it?"
"You remember everything, don't you?" I laughed, "Yeah, just not right now."
He laughed, "I can live with that."
"You said you wrote one about me too, you know."
"I do know," he replied, smugly.
"Can I hear that since you get to hear mine?"
"Yeah," he said, "But you are going to have to wait."
I pouted, "How is that fair?"
"Oh it is. And it will be worth the wait, I promise," he told me.
I sighed and laid my head back again. We sat like that for awhile, just sitting. There wasn't a need to fill the silence, it was comfortable. We were content just being together. "Can I take you out tonight?" he asked softly.
"What?" I asked, my eyes closed.
"Can I take you on a date?" he asked.
I opened my eyes and looked at his hopeful face. I smiled. "Of course," I answered.
He smiled wider. I giggled at his excitement and laid my head back on his chest once again. "That was fun today. Recording, I mean."
"You liked it?" Edward asked.
"I did, but I think it was as good as it was because you were there." I said honestly.
"You are just saying that because it was your first time," he pressed.
I shook my head. He laughed again. "What?" I asked, turning and looking at him.
"Oh, nothing," he replied innocently.
I yawned and stretched a little. Edward laughed softly, "Are you tired love?"
I shook my head. "No, no, I'm fine," I said, but my last word came out in a yawn.
"Why don't you take a nap and I'll get things ready for tonight?" he suggested.
I was about to refuse when another yawn interrupted. Defeated, I nodded and stood up. He stood up behind me and scooped me up in his arms. "What are you doing?" I giggled.
"Taking you to bed," he replied walking out of the room.
I rolled my eyes. He walked me to my room and opened the door. He walked in and laid me down on my bed. "Thank you Edward," I replied sleepily.
"Of course," he said, "Now sleep well love."
He leaned down and kissed my forehead. I smiled softly and he left the room, closing the door behind him quietly. I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
I woke up, feeling completely refreshed. My eyes wandered around my room and rested on the clock. Seeing as I had slept a few hours, I sat up and stretched. I hear a voice coming from downstairs and I went towards the voice. Getting closer to the living room, I recognized it as Edward's velvety voice. I peeked my head around the corner when I reached the living room and saw him talking on the phone with his back to me. I crept out quietly and sat down on the couch behind him. "Yes… I know its really soon with breaking up with Tanya… I didn't like her either… It's a long story… I will, but I'm telling you Mom, she's the one. I know it," he sighed.
"I do hope you're talking about me," I said, making my presence known.
He whipped his head around quickly. The shock in his face slid into a content smile. He nodded and mouthed, "But she doesn't know that."
"Yes mom… You will meet her, I promise… What? Yeah, Bell approves… Alice does too… Okay… Thanksgiving huh? Let me check real quick."
He covered the speaker with his palm and moved his mouth away from the phone. "Do you want to go back home for Thanksgiving?"
I nodded excitedly. He smiled and spoke back into the phone, "Yeah, we'll be there for Thanksgiving… Okay, I love you too Mom… bye," he finished, hanging up and plopping down on the couch next to me. He put his arm around me and I leaned into him. "Did you sleep well?" he asked softly.
I nodded and smirked, "So, 'she's the one,' huh?"
He went bright red in the face, "I didn't know you were out here," he murmured.
I giggled softly. "If you'd like, I can pretend that I didn't hear it?" I suggested. But, before he could say anything, I changed topics. "She doesn't know its me, huh?"
"Nope, I thought it could be fun to surprise them since we didn't surprise our siblings," he answered.
"That'll be fun. I'll tell my parents that I'm bringing my boyfriend when I call them next week, that way they won't get suspicious."
"Great idea," he complimented.
"Thank you."
He kissed my cheek and my phone rang. "Ugh," he sighed. I giggled and answered the phone, not looking at the caller ID.
"Hello?"
"Bella?" Esme asked.
"Hi Esme!" I greeted, excitedly.
"Hello dear," she said sweetly, "I was just calling to ask you something."
"What's that?" I questioned curiously.
"Edward just told me about his new girlfriend. He said that you approved of her and I was just making sure that was true."
Edward, who was listening in, wore a face of fake hurt. "Oh!" I said, mocking surprise, "Yeah, his girlfriend is something else. They are good together." Then, I added softly and in my best sad impression, "I only wish it were me."
Edward bit his lip to keep from laughing. "Oh Bella honey, I wish it were you too. You must tell him how you feel," she cried sympathetically.
He beamed. "I can't Esme, you heard him. He's happy. At least I think he is," I glanced at him and he nodded seriously, "I don't want to spoil that for him. Plus, she's really happy too, I can tell."
Edward smiled and planted a kiss on my forehead. Esme sighed in defeat, "You always did put others first. Okay dear, well I have to go."
"Bye Esme, if I don't talk to you before then, I'll see you at Thanksgiving."
"Bye dear," she said, hanging up the phone.
I frowned slightly as I too hung up the phone, "I feel so bad for not telling her the truth."
"I don't," Edward interjected, "I know how she feels now! I can't wait to go back now."
"I guess," I agreed, brightening up, "So… on another subject… What time are we going out?"
"Actually soon. I'm going to go get ready and we can go," he said.
He got up to go to his room. Once I heard his door close, I sprang from the couch and stumbled to my room to get ready myself. I tripped over the rug in my room and landed with a thud. "Is everything alright?" Edward's voice sounded worriedly from the room next door.
I scrambled to get up and shouted, "Yeah!"
I stumbled over to the closet and looked through it frantically for something to wear. I finally found my favorite blue sweater and black skinny jeans. I threw them on quickly. Then I scrambled over to the bathroom. I put on some makeup, willing myself to remember anything Alice taught me. When I finished, I was pleased with what I did. I was already having a good hair day so I just left ran a comb through it. Then I went to go search for shoes. I went through my closet quickly and settled on a pair of silver ballet flats. I slipped them on and walked down the stairs. Edward was standing in the living room with his back turned to me. He was wearing and emerald green button down shirt and black jeans. He was wearing black converse and his copper hair was perfectly messy. He turned around, his eyes sparkling and his face lit up into his signature crooked smile. "You look absolutely amazing," he told me.
I blushed crimson red. "Thanks. You know, you don't look so bad yourself."
He took us out to a fancy restaurant with a name I couldn't pronounce. I had to deal with a waitress fawning all over him, but was comforted when he didn't take my eyes off of me. It wasn't at all awkward, it never was with him. I was extremely comfortable and it came to a point where he was the only one in the room to me. We talked, we ate and we just enjoyed each other's company for the whole night. Finally, we headed home. He walked me to my bedroom door and said goodnight with a kiss. Then, he went to his room right next door. I laughed at his chivalry and went into my room, sighing contently at my luck.
