Bella's POV

Three weeks.

Three weeks, and I had found the perfect man that I loved, found that he loved me back, and gave him the one thing I could never get back without regrets. And that's a big step in such a short time. The said perfect man was now out hunting. As he had been since after my breakfast this morning. For that reason, I had done absolutely nothing….but clean.

Which was a stupid idea on my part because his house was impeccable, but that was beside the point. I needed something to keep myself preoccupied until he came back. Upon my waking this morning to very seductive cold lips, he had told me that I was to be very surprised after his trip. That was the only hint I got as to how I was going to actually spend my day. I had tried to pull a few more hints out of him, but it was just not happening.

Which led to my current predicament. I was trying to get him off my mind completely, but now it felt like a test that I was taking to end up failing, already knowing I would. It used to be that I could clean or listen to music or watch a movie, and I could sort of push him away to focus on what I was doing at that given time. That was becoming harder and harder. Apparently, spending time with a super intelligent vampire causes one's brain to work in a very advanced state. I could be doing anything, and he would still be at the forefront of my mind; all the while with me being completely focused on the task at hand.

That's how it has been all day long. I tried listening to music, watching a movie, but I had resulted to cleaning as it was the only thing that came close. But now I plopped onto the couch with a heavy sigh as I had cleaned every single surface in this house. Nothing worked. Leaning forward for the remote, I turned on the TV and began flipping through the channels aimlessly.

Ring!

I pulled the cell phone Jasper had gotten me out of my front pocket. I glanced at the caller I.D. with a smile.

"Hello," I said into the receiver.

"Hey, angel. How's my girl?" Jasper asked.

"She's wonderful, but lonely. So, when's her strong, protective Major Whitlock going to be home?" I asked as I leaned into the cushions.

I could practically see him smirking. "Well, he's not coming home."

I shot up from the cushions as I panicked. "W-what?"

"No, no! Not like that, angel. I'm just not coming back home yet," he corrected quickly.

I breathed into the phone, laying my hand over my heart to feel it beating erratically. "Gah, jerk, you're gonna give me a heart attack."

"Sorry, darlin'," he stated softly.

"It's okay." I laughed a little. "When are you coming home, then?"

"I was hoping you could come to me, but I need you to follow my instructions."

I nodded, but then remember he could not see me. "I promise. I will follow your instructions. What am I to do?"

I was sure he was smiling now. "You need to walk into our room and lift up your pillow." The line disconnected.

My eyebrows pulled together as I pulled the phone away from my ear. I stared at it a moment as the call flashed off and the home screen came on. I snapped it shut and shrugged as I walked to our bedroom. I wandered in and lifted the pillow on my side of the bed. I sat the pillow aside so I could pick up the pristine white paper that rested there. My name was written in beautiful script on the outside. I flipped it open to read the contents.

I've got an angel so close, it's indescribable to be held in her arms
I'm holding on and never letting her go
If she will, walk to the porch for the next ticket
On the top step under a small gift to my angel

My smile was so wide my cheeks started to hurt. I held the paper close as I ran out the bedroom door and down the hall. I made it to the porch without tripping, surprisingly. I gasped when I found the gorgeous vibrant red rose resting on the top step. I lifted it and settled on the step to the read the note that laid beneath it. I opened it.

I'm not far, but I've got time
Time with you, my love, that's all I'll ever need
As long as I have you in your arms, but I'm not the only one that loves you dearly
Go to your father, he's on all of this

I giggled. My father was in on my boyfriend's romantic evening. How cute. I grabbed my jacket and keys from the house. My truck roared to life, and I made my way home. Charlie was sitting outside in the swing on the porch when I drove up. He smiled as I trudged up the stairs. I gave him a quick hug before sitting beside him.

"Do you have something for me?" I asked him.

He smiled. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a rolled piece of paper tied with a silk blue ribbon. I grasped it gently to find the paper a sturdier form than the other notes. I slowly pulled the ribbon off and unrolled the paper. I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand. On the paper was a perfect rendition of our pond. Only, that was not all. It was of me at our place with my hand outstretched to pet a doe. I smiled as I remembered.

"Flip it over," Charlie murmured.

I glanced at him and turned the drawing over to see writing on the other side.

I've wondered why I live the way I live, but when I hear your heart beating I find the reason
You are a gentle, angelic soul that I will be thankful for forever
With you, I, myself, have a soul
Sometimes, the soul works slowly, just like your truck

I stared at my truck. The next note was in there? It was right under my nose…

"Thanks, Dad," I said without looking at him.

He chuckled. "Have fun!"

I nodded distractedly before racing to hop into my truck. I searched between the seats, under them, and, feeling a little like an idiot for not checking there earlier, I threw open the glove box. The whole thing was filled with Hershey kisses that buried another paper.

I will never be able to explain how it feels to have your lips on mine
I took something you can not give back and I will never let you regret letting me take it
I will love, protect, and cherish you forever
Just as you care for those children at the hospital

Now I was a little confused, I had to admit. I snapped the glove box shut, but not before grabbing a few yummy kisses. I gave Charlie a quick wave before making my way to the hospital. I placed the paper on top of the stack that was forming in the passenger seat. I parked close to the doors and meandered inside.

"Hey, Bella," Anna greeted me with a glint in her eyes.

I looked at her suspiciously. "Hey, did Jasper come by here earlier?"

She nodded as her smile widened. "He did. He told me to tell you to go see Tommy. He said it was very important."

I nodded and made my way to the elevator. I reached Tommy's door and knocked.

"Come in," he called.

I walked in with a wide smile. "Hey, darling."

He smiled. "Hi, Miss Bella. How are you?"

I sat next to him, wrapping my arms around him. "I'm good. How are you, sweetie?"

"I'm doing really well. Listen, Jasper came by earlier…" he trailed off with a smirk.

I nodded. "And?"

"He said you need to go see Jeremy," he said with an adorable smirk.

My jaw dropped a little. He's going to make me go from child to child before I find the next clue. Well, it's a wonderful idea, really, I did want to see them.

I rubbed his shoulder. "Okay, well, I'll just go see him. See you later."

He laughed. "You, too."

I walked down the hall to the door of Jeremy's room. It was standing open, and he was leaning up in bed watching TV. I tapped the door jam before walking in.

"Hey, kid," I said as I sat on the end of his bed.

He nodded his hello. "How's it going, Bella?"

"Good. Did someone come by earlier?" I tried to be discreet but the excitement in my voice was a dead give away.

Jeremy smiled. "Yeah, Jasper said you need to go see Karmen."

I rolled my eyes. "Of course he did," I grumbled.

Jeremy laughed. "Sorry, his orders. Now go, I know you want to know what's going to happen."

I pecked his cheek and walked out, heading to Karmen's room. I knocked on her door and wondered in to find Karmen reading. She smiled.

"Miss Bella! What brings you by?" she asked.

I raised an eyebrow. She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Okay, okay. I'm sure you know the drill by now. Go see Lydia."

I jumped a little, clapping my hands. "Thank you, angel!"

She laughed. "You're welcome. Have fun. Bye, Bella."

I waved as I practically ran to Lydia's room. I walked into her room to find her watching TV.

"Hey, girl," I said as I sat in the chair next to her bed.

"Hey, Bella. Are you excited?" she asked with a smile.

I returned it. "Very. Are you my last stop?" I asked, hope coloring the tone of my voice.

She shook her head, and I groaned. "Sorry, you have to go back and see Tommy."

I dropped back in the seat. Back to Tommy. The little sneak had the next clue the entire time. I hopped up from my seat.

"I'll do that. Later, girly."

I shut the door behind me and slowly wandered to Tommy's room. I knocked quickly and walked in to a very good surprise. Tommy was standing at the foot of his bed facing the door. In his hands was a bouquet of chocolate flowers. Dang, Jasper was trying to make me fat. I smiled a little at the thought. Tommy smiled at my shocked form and held out a hand with an origami folded piece of paper that was a replica of a rose. I squatted down to his level and took the paper from him. I was upset that I had to unfold such beautiful work, but I knew it had to be done to get the next clue.

Sorry I had you run all over the hospital, but I thought it would a nice thing for you
Now, there are not many clues left, and they'll be worth finding
Now, trust you instincts, what is one place I love most that you can get to?
It's there, beneath our Forever

Huh. I walked over to Tommy and placed the bouquet on the table. I scooped him up and held him in my lap as I thought about the note. His small hands toyed with my long hair.

Well, there was the pond area, but I had no way to get there. So that was out. At home there was his guitar in his study that he thought the world of. But that had nothing to do with forever. His love for books, maybe.

Oh!

I almost jumped when I knew I had figured it out. I kissed Tommy's hair and placed him at the top of the bed at the pillows. I tickled his stomach, and he giggled in a very adorable fashion. I brushed a hand over his hair.

"You were very helpful today, sweetie. Thank you," I murmured.

He smiled. "You're welcome, Miss Bella. Have a good time."

I smiled and nodded. "Did Jasper thank you for doing this?"

He nodded. "Yes. He gave me an action figure!" he exclaimed as he grabbed a new toy from beside him.

I laughed. "Good. I got to go. I'll see you later, sweetheart."

He nodded. I walked out of the room with the note in one hand and the flowers in the other. I hurried to my car and found myself parked at the house in no time. I grabbed all of the notes with the bouquet and placed the Hershey kisses on top of the vase the chocolate flowers were in. I made my way into the house, careful not to drop anything. I set everything on the table just inside the door and went into the library. I wondered over to the nearest chair where a folded piece of paper was. I picked it up.

Wuthering Heights

I grabbed the copy from the bookcase engraved Forever. It was the right one. I flipped through the pages and a complete letter dropped out. I reached down, opening it as I sat in a chair.

You are an amazing woman Bella. I live through you now. When you are near, I can practically feel my own heart beating in time with yours'. I know I sent you around a lot today, but I'm sure the surprise will be worth it. I have been a nervous wreck all day long, making sure everything was perfect. But it's not. Not yet because you are not present at the moment of your reading this. Soon, though, everything will be perfect, and I really hope you love it.

I also know that we have not been together long, but it feels like years. If I could hold you close every single day of forever without interruptions, I will. I love you with all my heart, and I promise that I will be there through everything. The good, the bad, the happiness, the tears, always.

Now, I am severely missing you. So, my angel, turn around.

I was practically in tears as I finished the note. Complying with the written request, I turned slowly to find a path of rose petals. I followed the trail to the closed door that led to our room. I opened it and found a beautiful dark blue, silk dress laid neatly on the bed. I slipped it on. I looked at the mirror. My makeup was natural and left from the morning. My hair waved down my back. The dress was halter with a wide band of crystals beneath the bust. It was fitted at my stomach and flared out until it hit my knees. I slipped on the black flats that were by the bed and walked back out of the room.

I looked down to see the previous petal trail gone, but a new one had taken its place. I followed the new trail to the kitchen. I gasped. There he was. He wore black slacks with matching dress shoes. His chest was covered by an ivory button up that was gorgeous against his skin. The table was covered by a white cloth with one setting and two candles in the middle with a rose in between them.

I walked to him slowly as I took everything in. My eyes met his, and mine misted over slightly. He walked around the table to me, pulling my chair out. I sat down, and he set roast, mashed potatoes, and broccoli with cheese on my plate. He settled in the seat across from me.

"How…?" I asked.

He smiled. "I just wanted to give you a little treat for everything you've done for me."

I shook my head. "But I can never repay-"

His hand covered mine, and I stopped talking. His eyes smoldered into mine. "You give me much more everyday. This is just a small thank you."

I nodded. "Thank you."

"My pleasure. Now, enjoy. I'm afraid I won't know if anything tastes good…"

I picked up my silverware and began eating my food. Delicious, as always. He watched me silently as I happily devoured my food. When I was finished I walked around the table to him and sat in his lap with my arms around his neck.

"This has been a fantastic day, Jasper." I stroked his cheek. "It was perfect."

He smiled widely. "I'm pleased that you enjoyed it. Would you like to end this wonderful day with your song?"

I'm sure my smile was comical. I nodded enthusiastically. He carried me to our room and set me on the end of the bed. He ran for his guitar and sat next to me as he began to play. His soothing, melodic voice filled the room as he sang those loving words of the song he had written me. I closed my eyes and got lost in the music, letting it linger in my mind even after the music had ended.

His cold hands cradled my face. I opened my eyes just in time to close them again as his lips met mine. I tangled my fingers in his hair as I scooted back, pulling him with me with the hand I had wrapped in his shirt. I stroked the skin of his back and chest beneath his shirt as he kissed down my neck.

Safe to say this was the most amazing night we had had together yet, besides the night of our first time. It was the perfect end to a completely perfect day.

Awwww! Yes, it's so sweet. This would be something that I would love to happen to me. Not everything, but it would be nice. I really loved writing this, and I hope you all liked reading it.
