Hello ~smiles sheepishly~. I know some of you out there want to kill me for posting late, even I want to! But please do forgive because here I am with a new chapter :))
But first of all thank you to my few reviewers and I got lots of story alerts which I'm so damn happy with but please also leave me a review so I can know your thoughts on my story. They are really important to me. Again thank you for the ones that did review, you people bring a big smile on my face! :D
Also there will be an outtake of Bella her week with her parents, since it wasn't really essential to the storyline I decided to post an outtake. Quinzy this is for you!
A is for Angel you're really sweet and stuck with me from the beginning. Thank you so much for your lovely reviews ;)
Now people, we are nearing the end. Only chapter and a epilogue left after this chapter. I told you this wouldn't be a long story.
After this I will start with a very funny and lemony story. I'm done with the drama.
And I'm done now too, because I talk too much!
Have fun reading :))
Cold. It was so cold because we were outside. Tears. The little child was looking at me with tears in her eyes. 'You're too late' she mouthed. I woke up gasping for air. This was the third time I had this dream, and each time it was the same dream. I didn't understand it, did it mean something. Was it my fault she died? Could I have saved her?
Edward thinks I'm crazy for thinking that but I'm still not sure. It wouldn't leave me, everywhere I looked I saw that little child. I couldn't even pass that street anymore and Edward also didn't leave me alone any longer, but for that I was happy.
There was only one thing we both didn't look forward to and that was 'the talk'. We still hadn't talked about Edward's issues. He was avoiding it but since the exchange of our 'I love you's, he turned back to the Edward I love.
But that didn't change the fact that at some point he could again turn cold and harsh. I told him that and he promised me he would explain what happened. It had been two weeks now and I still didn't receive an explanation. That was about to change because that night, the night that changed my whole life, he gave me my explanation.
"So we have wine, check, chips, check, we have Edward and Bella, check" I smiled at him. I was doing this so he could feel comfortable. "I love you" he said as he wrapped his arms around me and breathed me in. "I love you too baby, but you're not getting out of this" I said and got out of his embrace.
"Take a seat" I said to a pouting Edward. He took my hand and made us both sit "If we are really talking about this, then I want to have you as close to me as possible" I sighed and kissed him and then placed my head on his chest.
"I'm scared Bella," he said after a long silence and my heart broke for him "after what Emily did to me I couldn't trust anyone anymore but then you came along and I slowly started to trust someone that was not my family."
At that point I wanted to hate Emily, I wanted to go back to Forks and kick her ass, but it was not my place. I nodded for him to continue.
"I was getting there. God, how many times did I try to say I love you to you" he sighed "you're not alone on that part" I mumbled. "When I saw Emily there, in my house, on my couch, I freaked out. She was my best friend, so I was not about to show her the door,"
"She told me that Sam cheated on her with her own cousin Leah and that it was not the first time, but he always apologized and begged her not to leave. Then one day she caught them and that was it, she left him and had nowhere to go. So she went to my place,"
I listened to him intently and for a small moment I felt bad for Emily. I'm sure it must hurt to be cheated on. I never went through that, I went through worse.
He went on "I wanted to be there for her and show her that even though she left me, I was not going to leave her alone. Then that fucker Sam came to our place, I was about to knock some senses in his head when Emily stopped me,"
"I thought she would say something along the lines of 'He's not worth it, Edward'" he chuckled humorlessly "But do you know what the fuck she said 'Don't do it Edward, he's the father of my unborn child' and like that wasn't enough she left with him after he begged for a minute or two" his tone was cold and harsh again, but this time I understood. Emily had again chosen her man above her best friend again. She stabbed him twice in the back.
"I told her to stay, that I would help her through this, but she didn't want her child to not know her father. How idiotic is that, she knows he will continue cheating on her?" I think he was asking that to himself.
But I did understand Emily on the part of not wanting her child to not know her of his father, but she was still wrong.
"Which brings us to now, I was afraid to face you Bella. I was afraid that if I let my guard down with you that you would also leave me. It was wrong I know, but she fucked me up. She made it hard for me to think that not everyone is like her, especially you" now I understood him, he didn't want me to get too close.
I was silent for a minute and then decided to speak up "Thank you for telling me this and I'm not mad at you for thinking that Edward. I understand it but you can trust me. I will not let you down, I would never do that. You are it for me, you're my hero, my prince on the white horse. I would hurt myself before I could hurt you-" "Don't say that Bella" he huffed.
"But I mean it, and I will also hurt any person that hurts you Edward. I know you need time to fully trust someone, and I respect that. I will show you every day of my life that I will not let you down and that I will always love you" I was getting emotional, and I really had to get it out before I started to cry.
He made me look up at him, and what I saw in his eyes were anything but doubt. Edward knew that he could trust me, that I loved him with all my heart. "I'm so sorry that she did that to you" I whispered as a tear rolled down on my cheek. He kissed it away.
"I love you so much" he whispered in my ear and then softly kissed my lips. It was slow, passionate and so damn real. Damn it, I miss them so much.
"I love you too baby, but I would also love to drink up that bottle of wine" I said trying to lighten the mood. He chuckled and went to grab for our glasses which meant I had succeed.
Edward gave me my glass and took his and then held high, I did the same. "To us, love" he smiled at me "To us" I agreed and then we both sipped our wine.
"You know love, you still didn't tell me how it went with your parents?" that question alone brought a big smile on my face. "It was amazing Edward. I hate myself for not doing this earlier and if it weren't for you, it may have never happened" I said as Edward placed his head on my lap.
While I played with his hair and told him about my trip, he listened intently to me. "The first hours, or should I say day was actually very emotional. I would tell them stuff and then mom would cry because she wasn't there and her crying caused me too cry and then dad followed too. Come to think of it, it was pretty funny" I grinned at him.
"I think we should go back" Edward said as he looked up at me. "Because I want to meet your parents, and I also want to visit my parents. I want them all to meet as soon as possible, so they can all be on our wedding" Now how wrong was it for me to sip my wine?
Very wrong, because I just spitted it back out the moment he said our wedding. What? I was in shock! "Ughh Bella come on, I didn't ask you for any wine" he groaned.
"You! You..You" I stammered as an idiot "You didn't even propose!" I finally got it out. He stood up and looked at me with a smile. Then he turned around and was about to walk away. "Where are you going?" I asked confused. "Just let me clean up beautiful, I will be back in a second" he chuckled and walked upstairs.
Me? I was confused, a bit angry too. Edward just left without an explanation. Okay, he did say that he would come back, but still!
When a couple minutes later Edward came back, I noticed that he had changed his shirt and had washed his face. He walked to me with a nervous smile on his face. "What is going on?" I asked him also very nervous.
"Please, just don't kick me after what I'm about to say right now?" he pleaded seriously which made my eyes widen. I nodded at him. "Okay, here we go" he muttered more to himself and then sank down on one knee. I gasped not knowing what to say.
"Bella Swan, when I first saw you-" I cut him off because well yeah, I couldn't wait. I mean I love speeches, but that was one speech that was just making me wait for the best thing. We couldn't have that now, right? "Just ask the question" I said gasping. Edward beamed at me and then "Will you please marry me?"
"Do you promise that when I'm sick, you will make my food and when I'm irritated you won't get mad at me?" He looked at me with furrowed eyebrows. "I promise baby, please marry me?"
"Yes baby, as cliché as it sounds, a hundredth times yes!" I answered with tears in my eyes and went down on my knees too so I was on the same level as him. "Oh shit, I'm an idiot" he said and slapped his forehead.
"Just one more time," Edward said and took a box out of his pocket "will you marry me?" Edward opened the box and the most beautiful ring I ever saw was reached out to me.
"Yes my Edward" I whispered as a tear rolled down on my cheek. He took my hand and placed the beautiful ring with a not too big rock on my fingers. It was simple and yet so outstanding. "I can't believe you said yes" he said more to himself. I shut him up by placing my lips on his.
Since he was still one on knee and I attacked him like an animal we fell on the ground with me on top of him. "Hi" I smiled at him. "Hello soon to be Mrs. Edward Cullen" he smiled back. "Please make love to me" I whispered to him. He stood up and gently took me with him and then he pulled me in his arms. "Anything you want love, you gave me the world and I will try my whole life to give you the universe"
Damn him and his beautiful lines, they always made me cry. Edward kissed each tear away and took me upstairs. We slowly undressed each other and then made love countless times.
I think it was three in the morning when we had finally fallen asleep. Not fifteen minutes later we were woken up by a loud banging on our door. Edward was still sleeping and I was too afraid to go and see who it was by my own. So I woke him up "Edward" I shook him slightly. "She said yes" he mumbled slowly.
I wanted to laugh at him because he was so damn cute but the banging continued. "Edward wake up" I said more loudly. "Bella?" he asked sleepily but then he heard the banging, and then he was wide awake. "I'm scared" I said and nodded to the door. "Get dressed and wait here for me. If I don't come up in five or you don't hear anything from me, hide under the bed or in the closet. Understand?" He said as he got dressed.
"What? No, I'm not leaving you alone" I protested. Edward took my hands and looked me in the eyes, fully dressed now. "Please just stay here. I'll be fine and I'll be back in a sec okay. Don't worry" he told me and he was quit convincing but I saw in his eyes that he wasn't sure of that himself.
I nodded softly and then gave him a good hard kiss. "I love you" I said as he pulled away. "I love you Bella" then he was gone. I immediately got dressed and heard Edward open the door. "It's Roma!" he yelled and I sighed in relief. For a minute I was so damn scared, but then it struck me that Roma was here, which meant something was wrong. How right I was.
I walked downstairs and saw Roma with tears on her face. Her eyes were wide and full of fear. When she saw me, she ran to me and hugged me. I hugged her back and was concerned that her husband had done something to her.
"Sweetie what's going on?" I asked as I pulled her to the couch with me. "I'm going to get her some water" Edward said and walked to the kitchen. "It's over" she kept whispering. Edward gave Roma the water and then looked at me with a concerned face.
Roma wouldn't drink the water so I took it and placed the glass on the table. I thought her relationship with her husband was over. Again, how wrong was I. "Honey, what is over?" I asked her as I wiped away her tears.
"We, our village, the people. We'll die soon" the color drained from both Edwards and my face when we heard her. "What are you talking about?" Edward asked as he came to stand in front of her. "The terrorist they took our village over. The people in the villages around us are already dead. They took us as last because we're the biggest" she explained.
"Airports! Can we just take a flight and leave?" I don't know how Edward could speak because I felt like I couldn't breathe anymore. "No" she cried "Every place is surrounded by them. They are getting closer and closer to us. We have only a couple days left"
"We were going to get married" I whispered. Edward looked at me with a pained expression and Roma looked shocked. "What?" she said and then took my hand. "I want to be married to you Edward. I want to be yours before we d-" he cut me off with a pointed finger "Don't you dare even say that Bella. Nothing is going to happen, ok?" He knew it wasn't true but if that was what he wanted to believe then what could I say.
"Get married here" Roma said suddenly. "Tomorrow morning, or actually today in a few hours. I'll get a priest here. We can do this. The terrorist aren't in our area yet" she explained. Edward and I looked at each other with hope. "Let's do it" we both said at the same time. "Okay, be ready at 7. I'll be here with the priest" Roma said as she stood up.
"Roma, can you do one thing for me?" I asked "Wake Angela and Ben when you pass their house and please send them here." She nodded and walked to the door. "And take care of yourself" I added. "You too. I'll see you later" then she was gone.
Edward and stood there, both not saying a thing. We were scared, actually terrified for what was to come.
Leave me some love people. In the name of Edward and Bella...^^
