BPOV
I woke up the next morning in Edward's arms. I'd love to make up like this every morning.
Edward looked down at me and smiled, "Morning, Bella," he said.
I smiled back, "Morning," I said. We laid like that for about a half hour until my phone rang.
I groaned and reached over and grabbed my phone off the nightstand, "Hello?" I said.
"Did you really just answer the phone and say 'Hello'?" my boss asked.
I sat up really fast, "Boss!" I said, "I'm sorry. I was… Um…"
"Were you just sleeping?" he asked, "You never came back last night. Did you stay there all night?"
"Yes, sir," I said, "My job is to protect the Cullen's. With Victoria being back and all, I kind of figured it would be best if I stayed here and kept an eye on things." Damn I'm good!
"That was a very wise choose to make," he said, "Now come down stairs and answer the door."
I froze, "Excuse me?" I said.
"Answer the door, B," he said. Then the line went dead.
"Shit," I said.
"What's wrong?" Edward asked.
"He's here," I said, "He just told me to answer the door."
Edward jumped out of bed, "I'll get the door," he said, "You get in your uniform, or whatever it is." I started getting dressed. I don't think I have ever gotten dressed so fast in my life.
I walked out the door and headed to the stairs. I slipped on my glasses and popped a piece of gum in my mouth. I got to the bottom of the stairs and saw my boss talking to the Cullen's.
"Hey, Boss," I said, as I came down the stairs.
"Hello, Agent B," he said.
"So, what's going on?" I asked.
"I came to speak with you about Victoria," he said, "Obviously you know she's back. Word as it, is that she'll come here and attack you guys. So, B, I need you ready to fight. Everyone is back training right now, I'd like you there as well."
"I'm ready," I said, "I don't need to train anymore. I already trained ten times more than the other agents."
"You sure about that?" he asked.
"Yes, Sir," I said.
"B, I'm not going to let you stay here just because you think your ready," he said, "You just want to be with your little boyfriend."
I froze, so did the Cullen's, "I don't know what your talking about," I said.
He laughed, "You really think I don't know about you and Edward?" He asked, "You think I don't know that they all know your real name? I've had people watching you B!"
"Who?" I asked.
"New people will do anything you ask them to do, B," he said. J! J's been ratting me out?
I didn't say anything for a minute, and then I stepped toward him. I slipped my glasses on my head so I could look him in the eye, "What are you going to do, Boss?" I asked, "You going to fire me? Kill me? Take me off the case? You're not going to do anything. You know just as well as I do that you can't do anything. I'm the best agent you have. You can't risk loosing me."
He stared at me and then he started to smile, "I was wondering how long it would take," he said.
"Till what?" I asked.
"Until you broke the last rule," he said, "Telling off the boss. You're more than ready for this, Swan." Then he was gone.
Everyone was quiet for a second and then I ran after him. "Boss!" I yelled. He looked at me, "How are you okay with me breaking the rules? You tell me not to break rules, and then you call me by my real name, tell me that breaking rules is okay, and walk out!"
"You are the best agent, Bella," he said, "I've waiting for you to finally stand up to me like that. You are ready. Now go back to your boyfriend." He laughed and got in his car.
I walked back into the house and looked at everyone. "That man confuses me," I said, "He called me by my name! What the hell!"
They all laughed and Edward came over and grabbed my hand, "Come with me," he said. He led me over to the porch. Then he turned and looked at me, "Bella," H said, "I don't want you to fight against Victoria."
"Edward," I said, "I have to."
"Please, Bella," he said, "I don't want you to get hurt."
"I know," I said, "But I have to. It's my job, it's what I do."
"You don't understand," he said, "I can't have anything happen to you. I don't know what I'd do if you got hurt. I need you Bella. I love you so much. I wouldn't be able to function if you got hurt. You make me stronger. I need you."
I was quiet for a minute. "Did you just say you loved me?" I asked, quietly.
He didn't say anything for a second he just thought. "Yes, I did," he said, "I do love you, Bella. I love you more than anything. I need you…. I love you."
