Chapter 10

Conversations

(B.POV)

"Edward..." I whispered into his chest that I was still clutched too.

"Oh, Bella" he sighed into my hair, pulling me closer.

Nothing could ruin this moment, and never did I want it to end. The comfort of his arms, his intoxicant scent, and the feeling of being whole again. It was all so perfect, and all so true. The silence continued on and it was sweet. We we're sinking everything in, our feelings, our thoughts, our past and future. As we sat there in each other's arms everything seemed to attack us, but together we could withstand it.

Finally, Edward broke the silence.

"Bella" he chuckled, "as much as I enjoy holding you here on this cold kitchen floor, I want to explain some things."

Yet as I went to answer him I realized, I couldn't. My mind had shut down in the time that I was so relaxed, I was quickly falling asleep.

(E.POV)

As soon I broke the silence I noticed Bella didn't answer at first and I directly went into defense mode. Quickly though she started to breathe at a slow, sweet pace; She was tired. I then noticed her eyes, dark circles surrounded them, she hadn't slept in forever. Slowly I got up, she didn't weigh anything, and shuffled into the living room.

"Edward" she whispered.

"Shh..you can sleep, sweetheart, I'll carry you" I replied to only see she was completely asleep. My heart soared once again, she was dreaming about me. Gently as possible I laid her down on the couch, I hope she would be comfortable. Her hair cascaded down her face, couldn't have that. I crouched down and swiftly moved her strawberry smelling hair from her face; And as if planned the sun hit her face tenderly, making her shine like the true angel she is.

"Don't leave" she murmured, it broke my heart that she worried of my leave. If only she knew how committed and in-love I was with her.

"Never, Bella. I could never live with myself if I hurt you, again" the last part made my voice crack. I vow, as long as I live, I will never hurt her ever again and I will do everything in power to make up for what I did. Quietly I moved into the kitchen to finish cleaning the dishes and make her something for dinner.

Two hours later...

(B.POV)

"Yawn.." I sighed, waking up. It took me a few moments to take in my surroundings, chair, TV, couch," Ahh the living room" I thought to myself. Stretching I realized there was the familiar aroma of Chicken Fetchinni and garlic bread coming from the kitchen. Who could be in the kitchen? Then I remembered, Edward!

Shooting up from the couch I stumbled and raced into the kitchen; And of course, there stood the amazing Edward Cullen.

"Edward!" I said exasperated.

He jumped cutely and turned, "Ah! Bella! I mean, your awake!"

"Yeah," I moved my hair to one side of my neck, " what are you doing?"

Edward smiled knowing I wasn't mad, "Making the lovely Bella Swan dinner."

"Edward! You didn't have to do that!"

"Ha!" he laughed and pulled me close. Then before I could stop him, he was spinning me around and we began to waltz. I laughed, "I'm a terrible dancer just for your information."

"On the contrary" he said has he bending me backwards, " your quite graceful for your clumsiness." He spun me out and in once more, before bowing, "Thank you for the dance, Miss Swan"

"Twas' my pleasure Sir. Cullen" I curtsied. We laughed like old friends and couldn't help but stare into each other's eyes after the laughter ended. Before I could stop it, hot blooded flooded my cheeks and I was blushing, Edward only smiled wider.

Subconsciously I moved my hands to cover the embarrassing red, but only for Edward to move quickly and remove my hands.

"Don't do that, your blush is beautiful" he paused, "like you." My eyes widened and I couldn't help but lean in a little closer. No! My mind exclaimed, it was to early.

"Uhm.." I tried to clear my brain, "let me fix the table" I stuttered moving to grab the forks and plates. As I moved away I swear I heard him chuckle and say, "Bella Swan you'll be the death of me."

12 minutes later ( Yes, I know lots of time lapse, but hey everything takes time :P )

"It looks delicious!" I smiled, already moving to grab a first bite at the yummy Fetchinni that sat before me.

"Wow, Bella, you pig!" He joked.

"Oh, bite me!" I replied teasingly. After a few minutes of silence, Edward spoke up again.

"I still want to explain" he whispered, to where I couldn't almost hear.

"Edward, I understand"

"Do you?" he said a little tense, "I'm sorry, but I want to to say this"

"Okay. I'm all ears"

For a seconds he seemed to be looking for the right words before he began.

"Bella." he sighed, " Before I met you I was just walking the path of live, only doing what needed to be done. The only reason for life seemed to be to just get through it in one piece. It seemed like a winding path that never ended, like time seemed to move ever so slow." He lifted his eyes and the moonlight in contrast with the dimly light room gave his eyes and him this mysterious, caring look. "Then one day, I saw you, you came onto my path; And ever since then theres been this...connection, one that I'll die for to keep it safe. When you entered my life, all I've cared about was being the one to protect you, to be there for you. Not has a burden, nor a responsibility, but as my purpose. You came into my life, shedding your brilliant light, and without you I'm..blind."

By the end of his explanation I was sure tears were strolling down my eyes, but I didn't care. All I cared about was Edward and finally understanding that I was in-love with him.

Subtly I looked down and tried to conjour up the right words, "Edward..I-" I was cut off by the dreaded sound of my cell phone. I sighed and went to grab it off the counter, it was Alice.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Bella!" excited Alice exclaimed.

"Heya Alice" I smiled, it was nice hearing another girl voice.

"Nothing, but I was wondering if you'll be coming back to work tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I'm feeling loads better now" I stated, smiling at Edward who stood next to me now.

"What about Edward?" she asked a little hesitant, probably hearing word of our fight.

I raised and eyebrow at Edward, he just nodded.

"Yep"

"Awesome! Well I'll see you tomorrow then"

"Alrighty, Bye Alice."

"Bye Bella!" Setting the phone down I returned to look at Edward, who was now getting his jacket on.

"Your leaving?" I murmured sadly.

"Yeah, it's already 10:50 and with work tomorrow I better get to sleep."

"But.." I whispered.

"Yes?" he said, looking a tad hopeful.

"I don't want you to go" I stated, looking into his eyes.

He stopped mid-arm and gave me a crooked smile, " You want me to sleepover?" he teased.

I gave a embarrassed smile and only nodded. Edward laughed and shrugged off his jacket, "Alright, but on one condition" he smiled, holding up one finger.

"What would that be mister Cullen?"

"That I get to do this" and with that he swiftly moved close again and wrapped his arms securely around my waist. Slowly I looked into his deep green eyes, the moonlight made them shine like the sea; My heart slowly gained speed as we leaned in and as our lips barely met I swear it stopped. The kiss didn't go to deep, nor to fast, it was slow and sweet. It was perfect.

Hesitantly Edward pulled away and smiled, "Bella, breathe" he whispered so closely it caused my mind to go totally blank. Then a second later it registered and I let out a slow breath. Edward chuckled and moved a flailing hair back into place.

"Why don't you go to bed? You haven't got much sleep lately."

"I'm not tired" I countered, knowing well I was lying.

"You will be once you hit the sack" His voice was so authoritative but gentle that I couldn't help but agree. I hugged him once more and whispered goodnight. I started to move down the Hallway when he called my name.

"Yes?" I turned around to see him smiling.

"Be safe in your dreams tonight, Okay?"

I smiled back, "I will."
