Okay, whew. I am off that hyperness. This one also has a song in it, but was again, IT IS NOT A SONG FIC unless you call Edward Anthony Masen Cullen playing the piano in his awesomely awesome way, then yeah IT'S A SONG FIC
okay so maybe I'm not off my hyperness, oh well, that just means I will type faster, but definitely not more efficiently so yeah…OH and the song is Out of My League by Stephen Speaks, and I am asking you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE to listen to the song while you read this or when Edward's solo comes up (that was a pause for applause) even if you know it, which I don't think many people do.
Bella POV
I ran to the back door and stepped inside quietly. I sat at the table, watching Edward. He hadn't seen or heard me come in. He was playing the piano. He was playing a song I didn't know, looking at nothing in particular, thinking.
Then it changed over to my lullaby. I smiled and had to bite my lip again so I wouldn't sob out loud. He would see me if I did, and I just wanted to watch without it becoming awkward.
The lullaby was getting right to the bridge when he switched over to another song that I hadn't heard. He played for a little while, and then, to my surprise, he started to sing along with it.
He sang quietly, but, thanks to me now being a vampire, I could hear it.
"It's her hair and her eyes today that just simply take me away.
And the feeling that I'm falling further in love makes me shiver,
But in a good way.
All the times I have sat and stared,
As she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
And she purses her lips, bats her eyes and she plays with me sitting there
Slack- jawed and nothing to say,
'Cause I love her, with all that I am,
And my voice shakes along with my hands.
'Cause she's all that I see,
And she's all that I need,
And I'm out of my league once again…
My mouth dropped open. He was singing this about me? He smiled happily as he went along, lost in his own world, looking up at seemingly nothing. I covered my mouth and held my breath to cover the cry that was trying to escape my mouth.
It's a masterful melody,
When she calls out my name to me.
As the world spins around her
She laughs, rolls, her eyes,
And I feel like I'm falling,
But it's no surprise
His voice and the piano playing started to get louder.
'Cause I love her, with all that I am,
And my voice shakes along with my hands.
'Cause it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea,
But I'd rather be here than on land.
Yes, she's all that I see
And she's all that I need
And I'm out of my league once again…
This time, a cry escaped. I was losing it over here, but at least he was too absorbed in the song to hear me. My head was filled with love for him right now, and it felt great to know that his was filled with the same for me.
It's her hair and her eyes today,
That just simply take me away.
And the feeling that I'm falling further in love
Makes me shiver, but in a good way.
All the times I have sat and stared,
As she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair,
And she purses her lips, bats her eyes and she plays
With me sitting there slack-jawed with nothing to say.
'Cause I love her, with all that I am
And my voice shakes along with my hands,
'Cause it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea
But I'd rather be here than on land
Yes, she's all that I see
And she's all that I need
And I'm out of my league once again..."
He continued playing for a while, but I knew that he was done singing because he concentrated on the keys.
I was so close to losing it right now. I was holding my breath, biting my lip, and covering my mouth so I wouldn't cry. I knew that this time, if I slipped he would hear me.
But, the more I thought about the words, mostly
""Cause I love her with all that I am, and my voice shakes along with my hands."
The more broken sobs tried to rip from me, and as he was playing the last few keys, I couldn't help it. A cry came out. I covered my mouth, hoping that he hadn't heard it, but no such luck.
He turned around and saw me sitting at the table.
I couldn't hold it in anymore. I stood up so fast that the chair flipped over and I ran to him. I crashed into him so hard that he stumbled backwards. My arms were wrapped around his neck right when my body crashed to his and his arms whipped around my waist.
Tearless sobs were ripping through me and I couldn't breathe. That was okay though because I didn't need to.
I didn't even think about him not wanting me to kiss him when I crashed my lips to his. I was pretty sure it was okay though when Edward's hands left my waist and went to my face and hair.
His hand knotted around my hair while his other hand stroked my cheek.
Edward broke the kiss wayyy too soon. He chuckled when my lower lip jutted out in a pout. He picked me up so fast and flew up the stairs that I didn't even have a chance to take my lip out of pout mode.
As he ran through the hallway into his room, he kissed my protruding lip. I growled when he did. He only laughed.
He threw me on his bed and was beside me in less than a second. He crouched on top of me without actually putting any weight on me and smiled my favorite crooked smile. I smiled back and his face gently fell to mine. He kissed my forehead, leaving his lips there and I heard him breathe in my scent.
I giggled and he looked down at me with a smile and a wild glint in his eye. His nose traced my collarbone, up to my neck, and then my cheeks. My breathing got heavier while I waited impatiently for his lips to reach mine.
He traded his nose for his lips and skimmed them across my cheek towards my lips. I closed my eyes, knowing that any second his lips would meet mine. When I felt his lips leave my cheek, and not touch down on my lips, I opened my eyes.
His face was mere inches from mine and he kept himself on top of me, still without using any weight. He was smiling like something was so hilarious.
My eyebrows knit together in frustration. Why? Why did he have to do this?
He smiled wider, seeing my frustration and impatience for his lips. He laughed a breathy (is that a word?!?! lol) laugh, blowing his sweet scented breath all over my face. My eyebrows were still knit together.
"I love you, Isabella Marie Swan. For all of eternity." he whispered looking down at me.
I smiled. "I love you, too." I said watching his face brighten up. That's when I noticed his eyes. They were pitch black and he had circles under his eyes.
He needed to hunt.
"Edward." I said, tracing the circles. "You need to hunt." Edward grimaced. "I know." he said. "I'll hunt later." I frowned. He looked like he hadn't hunted in a week.
"When was the last time you hunted?" I asked him, curiosity and disproval running through my voice.
He started kissing me again then and I thought he wasn't going to answer until he murmured against my lips, "two weeks?"
Two weeks? Two weeks! I pushed him off me and quickly stood up. He looked shocked and hurt. I almost laid back down to take the pained expression off his features, but I knew that he needed to hunt.
I walked over to him and kissed his cheek. "Edward. You need to hunt." "I know, and I will. Later." He started to pull me back down but I pulled away. "No, Edward. You need to hunt now. Two weeks? What the hell were you thinking Edward?"
Edward smiled sadly. "I wasn't." He stood up with a sigh. "If this is what you want…" I nodded once. He stood up hesitantly and turned to me. He smiled and kissed me quickly. "I love you" he mumbled against me lips, and then ran out the window.
I ran to the window and looked down, "wait! Edward!" He turned around and looked at me. "You're coming back. Right?"
"Of course I am, silly Bella!" then he was gone.
