Rosalie was right. I was going to need the water. At the sound of dimension I quickly grabbed the glass and swallowed three times. I wasn't particularly thirsty but I needed to make sure I was truly awake. After I set the glass down I took a deep breath and looked at Edward again. My stomach was twisting in knots as I nodded my head. Signalling him to continue.

"We are from a different dimension. In a way we live on another "Earth" is called Ethoros. We are humans just like you but in my world our science is so advance and we are more environmentally conscience. Emmett is my older brother. And Jasper is my younger brother. My mother is named Esme and my father is called Carlisle. We are a normal family who live almost the same as people here do. I swear I am no alien." He said as he stared into my eyes. Although everything he was telling me sounded so absurd and they probably belonged in a mental institution...I wasn't as shocked or disgusted as I should have been.

"Do you have any questions Bella?" I turned to see Rosalie looking intently at me. I had so many questions so I tried to pick one.

"If you are from this...other dimension then why are you here?"

"You see Bella," Edward said while holding my hand a bit tighter, "in my world, when we find a mate we are mated for life."

"Mate? I'm sorry like animals?" I questioned. I couldn't and wouldn't be compared to an animal. I could hear snickering and a slap beside me but I ignored it as Edward's smile caught my attention instead.

"No not like animals, Bella. You see in my world when we are born we are missing a piece of us. We are missing another piece of our soul. When we find our other halves it completes us. We are whole. I guess what you would call 'soulmates'. I came here looking for my other half." He slowly raised my hand to his lips and kissed it gently. "And I have found mine."

I could feel my heart pounding in m ears as I felt my blush on my cheeks. "Me? I am your soulmate?"

"Yes Bella. Can't you feel it?" He placed my hand over his heart and placed his free hand on mine. I was shocked about how close he was to my breast but the fact of him touching made the butterflies in my stomach. "Don't you feel the pain in your heart when we are apart? or the warmth and pounding of your heart when we are together. I do. Every minute since the moment I stepped foot in Forks High School on that first day. Do you feel it?" I wish I could lie and tell him no. That he's insane and needs to see a doctor. But how much pain I was in the first day plus the floating I feel whenever I'm with him. He wasn't insane. Maybe I was. But everything he told me I knew was the truth.

"I have felt different ever since that first day too. But I thought maybe I was having a heat attack." I admitted.

"You are not ill, Bella." Rosalie said. I almost forgot she was there so I turned towards her. "Your soul just sensed its missing half. When our soul senses that its missing half is close it calls for it. That is why you were in so much pain. It was calling for Edward. The father you were the more your soul suffered. When you came face-to-face with him your soul recognized him and wants to bond eternally to his."

"But if I have Edward here with me now, why do I still feel tired and pain when we are apart? Shouldn't I feel okay now?" I asked.

"Well no." She continued, "You see even though your souls have recognized each other as your other halves, you are not one. Once you two have completed the bond only then will your separation pain begin to decrease. You have yet to even start the bond."

"How does it begin." I asked really curious.

"Well...with you. You have to choose to bond with me." Edward answered for her.

I was taken aback. Why me?

"You have to acknowledge that your soul recognizes as your mate and that you wish to bond with me. The choice is completely up to you."

"This is...a lot to process." I said as I took another gulp from the glass of water and rubbed my forehead. "I think I need some fresh air."

From the corner of my eye I could see Edward frown but he quickly nodded his head and stood. I stood with him as he guided me out of the room. I expected for him to take me to the front door but instead we went the opposite direction. He pushed back a black door near the stairs and I recognized it as a kitchen. The counters were made of silver marble as silver electric appliances from a state of the art stove and fridge filled the room. a large marble island was situated in the middle of the room and it was beautiful. He kept walking forward and stopped in front of two glass doors. he opened one and stood to the side allowing me to walk ahead of him. I looked down and saw pink house slippers near the gate. He pointed to them and I assumed he wanted me to put them on. I did and since I didn't hear anything from Edward I stepped outside with them.

Edward's backyard was huge. There was nothing but a huge clearing that was probably about two acres. A cobblestone path was laid out before me that looped around so many flowers and statues that I could've gazed at them for hours.

"This is Rosalie's garden. From time to time I like to come here and just sit. It is a quiet spot and no one bothers me here." Edward said breaking the silence. I looked at him but he was too fixated on the scene before him.

"It is so beautiful." I said while taking a step closer.

"It is." Edward said finally looking at me. There was so much going on in his eyes and I just wanted to hug him and ease away his troubles. "Bella, I know this is a lot to take in. And I know that in the near future you will have to make a decision about this," He pointed at the space between us, "but I promise I will not pressure you to be with me. Although I want to be your mate and have waited so long for this, I want it to be something you will not regret."

I looked back into the garden and thought about what he said. He was right that I felt a connection between us. But I wasn't sure if I was ready for such a commitment. I still knew nothing about him.

"Walk with me, Edward." I said while unconsciously holding my hand out for him. He smiled and disappeared from my sight only to come back with blue house slippers on as well. For awhile we both walked in silence. The rain had stopped and I was grateful. It made the garden even more beautiful. I was amazed how one woman could do all of this.

"Edward?" I asked while not missing a step. "Why did you come to Earth to look for a mate"

He was quiet for a second before he answered. "When we turn sixteen we are free to find our mates. I have traveled my whole planet looking for you Bella. I've searched every field and mountain looking. I asked the elders, the people who run the community, permission to travel to other worlds looking for you. About thirty years ago my people created a machine called the Porter that can transport anyone on my planet to any dimension or world. But you need permission to use it. So once I proved that my journey had been unsuccessful I came here."

"But why did your brother and his wife come with you?" I didn't mind Rosalie and even Emmett was starting to grow a bit on me.

"They are here to guide me. You see when our souls find our other halves it can be an intense encounter. Sometimes mates become so consumed that they consummate just upon seeing each other." Wow that sounds extreme. But as I thought about it, he was right. I remembered the need to kiss him when I first met him. A slight blush stained my cheeks as I tried to focus all my attention on the flowers around us. "Rosalie and Emmett are here to make sure that doesn't happen. She wants to make sure that we have a strong personal connection before we complete the bond." I liked Rosalie even more. She was clearly thinking about my well being and she barely knew me.

I stopped Edward and looked him in the eyes. I could see that he really cared for me. Maybe even loved me. Which is crazy because we only met three days ago. But i felt the same. With him I felt so alive and felt as if I could do anything. Without him I could hardly function. "I want to say yes to the bond but I'm afraid. I have never been in a relationship before and this is beyond my expectations. I don't want to be trapped in something for the rest of my life." I admitted almost close to tears.

Edward gently grabbed my cheeks and wiped away my tears. I don't know why I felt so emotional but I did. Being away from Edward was so hard enough but just thinking about spending the rest of my life without him felt extremely painful. "Bella look at me." He pleaded and I did. "I promise you, I will go with whatever you say. if you wish to start the bonding, I will be as attentive and faithful as ever. I will admit I am not a perfect guy. I am stubborn, grouchy, and moody at times. I'm too much of a perfectionist and I love eating too much. But I can promise that I will not let any harm come to you and that if I ever do anything to hurt you, physically or emotionally I will never forgive myself. The moment you wish to be done with our bond I will honor what we had and move away. I will not keep you trapped with me. I understand its a lot to handle but I promise to share that burden with you. As long as you'll have me."

I couldn't stop the onslaught of tears at his proposal to our bond. I was scared, anxious, and happy.

"Then in that case...I recognize your soul as my mate and I wish to start bonding with you Edward. If you'll have me." I whispered while staring into his eyes. I knew that I was taking a risk for bonding with Edward. I hardly knew him. He was from another planet and he had a lot of explaining to do. But I couldn't deny that without him I would be miserable. Always wondering what could have happen or how far we could have gone. And he did give me the option to back out if I chose to do so. A small part of me doubted I ever would..and I believed it.

The way his eyes lit up and the toothy grin I got made my heart leap with joy. He picked me up and spun me in circles while hollering. I laughed with him and hugged his neck closer to me. After about three spins he finally out me down and crashed his lips on mine.

I was so shocked I didn't respond for a second but that feelings that exploded in me shocked me even more. It felt as if a dam was opening inside of my heart and happiness, joy, and warmth coursed through me. I kissed him back and the warmth only grew. My heart was in the clouds and I felt as if I was floting. He kissed me a second time and then a third while his hands pulled me closer and I hugged his neck tighter. After another kiss he finally pushed his head back and kissed my forehead. I was still floating and a bit dazed as he chuckled.

"I'm sorry. I should have asked to kiss you first. I was just so happy that I was-"

I placed my fingertips over his lips and smiled at him. "That's okay. I'm glad you did."

He removed my fingers as he kissed them and pulled me in for another hug. I don't know how long we stayed that way but I relished in it. I felt safe and loved. I wasn't concerned about our differences or where he was from. In that moment it felt right. Until I felt a drop of water on my nose.

I pulled away from him and looked at the sky. I frowned because the weather just had to interrupt our moment.

"You know in Ethoros rain is a sign of good fortune." Edward said as he held me tighter.

"Really? Good fortune. That's new information for me." I replied back.

Maybe the rain was an omen. A sign that we would be okay. I did hope so.

Okay I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. It actually took me a bit to write and I really did have fun with this. I hope this will end well but who knows.
