CHAPTER 11

EPOV

On Saturday evening, we made it back to Dallas and spent the night in my condo. I had to go to work on Sunday and I believe you went shopping with Alice.

BPOV

I found a Christmas present for you. I got you a new belt and hat for wearing out to the bars with me. I also got you a new watch; it was beautiful. I found a frame to go with the two pictures I had of us sleeping on the couch as kids looking very cute.

So on Sundays and Mondays, I comforted and rubbed your sore muscles and cheered with my boyfriend over his wins and losses. We went to midnight mass on Christmas Eve with both our families. After church, you didn't get off on at my exit.

"Edward?"

"Bella, spend the night with me."

"I will, but go back to my place first. I need a few things from there."

"No, you don't. Mrs. Santa helped us out already."

"You called Alice away from her family."

"She was happy to help."

We got home to your place, you started the fireplace and we sat down to eggnog. You pulled one present out from under the tree and said, "This is for tonight." I opened it in my typical present opening fashion and it was a beautiful emerald green full length negligee.

You whispered, "Would you put it on?"

I smiled and said, "Of course."

When I returned I saw green silk bottoms on you, pillows and blankets all around the tree. "Come here my beautiful angel. Merry Christmas, Bella" together we layed down and fell asleep in each other's arms by the tree. The next morning, my nose was being kissed awake.

"Morning, sunshine."

"Edward, stop it." I looked at a clock and said, "I have only had 6 ½ hours of sleep."

"Too bad, grumpy, it's Christmas and I want to open presents before I have to share you with our families out at the ranch." You handed me a present and I had a new leather jacket. A new cow girl hat. A new pink bra set. I gave him his belt buckle, hat, and the picture of us as toddlers. When you gave me the last one, you had a smile on your face. I found 5 bangle diamond bracelets.

"They are beautiful," and I was crying. You pulled them out of the box and this time you put them on my wrist.

"Beautiful, for my beautiful Angel."

"Thank you, Edward. I love you."

"I love you so much I can't imagine a day without at least talking to you now. But I really love the days we are together."

We showered together on Christmas day, got dressed and again you flew us out to the ranch. We enjoyed the time with our whole family. A caterer had delivered food yesterday and all we had to do was heat it up. The Cowboys made it to the playoffs. We spent New Year's Eve at a bar in our new Christmas pieces with our friends but left around 10. You flew us out to the ranch for the night. We were very comfortable together in bed and didn't drink but one drink that night. We spent a very quiet night together just holding, touching one another and eventually making quiet love. You were an absolute gentleman. As I gently fell asleep in your arms, I whispered, "Edward I am so love with you. The pass that you made at me all those months ago got my attention and then you stayed around so that I could fall in love with you. Happy New Year."

He kissed my neck and my lips and said, "I love you too so much. I can't believe you are a part of my world and you have no flaws to me."

The Cowboys make it to the Super Bowl. I was ecstatic for you. My boss sent me an email that said –

You are off Friday to Monday of Super bowl weekend. I just had a visit with our Super Bowl bound quarterback; he's very convincing even in person. You'll be off all the following week; so enjoy plus you need a vacation. Aro

I pulled out my phone and called my boyfriend.

You answered, "Hello, Angel."

"Hello, Edward. I just received an email from my boss."

Then I heard an echo, "Really, what did the email say?" as I looked up you were standing in my office on your cell phone talking to me.

I hung up and walked over to you and gave you a hug and a kiss, "You got me a long weekend for the Super bowl, why? And why am I on vacation the following week?"

You smiled and said, "I am hoping that you and your dad would love to come and watch me play in the Super Bowl. At the end of football season, I normally take a vacation. So I'm hoping I can convince you to come to a warm sandy beach with me." Then you lowered your head down to my ear and whispered, "Just you and me and a sandy beach"

"I would love to, Edward. I would be honored to come and cheer for you at the Super Bowl and better yet go on a beach vacation with just you."

"Love, I will see you later tonight. I have practice and you have work to do. I love you." Then, you kissed me and were gone.

Of course, I brought my dad with me to the Super Bowl and we went with Edward's parents as well. I got to see you on and off over the days. You and the Cowboys did win the Super Bowl in a blow out fashion; it was great fun and thrilling. They named you the MVP of the Super Bowl.

I got to see you Sunday night after midnight. We kissed and held one another for that time. I also rubbed your sore muscles for you. "Edward," I said after had finished rubbing your shoulders for you. I leaned down and kissed his neck.

"Oh, Beautiful," and the next thing I knew I was on your lap. Then we started kissing, your tongue slid over my bottom lip asking for entrance which I easily allowed. I was carried to my bed; tonight when you undressed me, you didn't find pink on me. You found dark blue panties and a bra with white stars all over them. "Do I even want to know where Alice found these?"

"No, I didn't ask; I am assuming you like by your friend's reaction. Now why don't you take them off of me; so that we can get a little bit closer."

"Your wish is my command, Bella."

As I climaxed against your driving thrusts, I growled out, "I love you Edward, my Super Bowl Champion."

Edward smiled at me and said, "Look you are my Super Bowl champion because I have made love to you in yet another bed. I love you, Bella. Now go to sleep; and I will see you soon."

My dad and I flew home the next day. On Tuesday, I went back to work clearing my work as much as possible before I was on vacation all the following week. When I flew home; you went to Florida to shoot a Disney World spot.

You were due back to Dallas on Thursday afternoon. Your parents called my cell phone while I was at the office. I answered saying, "Hello"

"Bella. It's Elizabeth."

"Yes, Elizabeth."

"Edward was in a car accident on his way to your office after coming in from Florida; you should come to the hospital now. Alice is almost at your office; please let her drive you."

I hung up and I started shaking. Alice was soon in my office; she quietly picked up my phone and purse then led me to her car. "Bella, relax; everything will be okay." Alice got me to the hospital safely, which is more than I would have been able to do with all my tears.

Your parents were waiting for me. They made me sit down and told me that you had some stitches all over your body, a sprained knee, a bruised back, and cracked ribs. I told them that wasn't so bad. "He will heal."

"Yes, he will," they said; "However, there is one other problem."

"What?" I asked.

"Bella, he doesn't remember the last year of his life; his mid range memory is gone."
