Edward's POV

"The meeting is now over, you may leave," Nancy told everyone, when Bella, Violet and Jean stepped off the stage. Everyone quickly left the room, we were alone in the room, the O'wells, Whitneys, and my family, along with Bella, Violet, and Jean.
It was quiet, we all stood there, waiting for someone to speak and break the awkward silence, it was Jean who did. "I missed you guys," she said before walking over, and hugging Sarah, then Ann, and lastly Selena.

"It's nice to meet everybody person," Violet said, "Yup, it's a nice break from watching them from cameras," Jean agreed. "What?" Rosalie asked, she eyed Bella, waiting for an answer. Bella shrugged, "It was for good reasons," she told her. "It better be a damn good one," Rosalie muttered. "I'm gonna have to agree with Rose here, did you see anything that wasn't supposed to be seen?" Esme asked. Bella looked at Jean and Violet, and they shuddered, answering Esme's question. "They watch you from the camera more than anybody else, before they decided to take it down," Bella chuckled.

"I still can't believe Emmet and Rosalie did that to her car," Violet whispered to Jean, "I know what you mean," Jean whispered back. We all heard their exchange, I flinched when I saw through Emmet's and Rosalie's thoughts what they referred to. "Think about something else!" I told them.

They did. They thought about their many honeymoons. I groaned, "That's not what I meant," I said. "Let's talk about something else," Bella suggested. "Like?" Alice asked. Bella thought for a moment, "The last time any of you besides Edward has hunted," she replied. Alice being always prepared flipped out a compact mirror (out of nowhere) and looked at her reflection, then she turned to look at everyone. "She's right," she said.

"I hope I find a good grizzly bear," Emmet said, "Not in that shirt, I bought that one for you," Rosalie told him. "Try not to play with your food dear," Esme told him. "Hmm deer maybe I'll get one of those," Jasper said. They talked amongst themselves as they left the room, leaving Bella and I alone.

I faced her, she was staring at me, it was silent, wondering who was to speak first. "Let's go somewhere more private," Bella said, she walked out fo the room, I followed her, it was silent trip there. She opened a door that had a golden number on the top of it, '1'.

She took out her keys and opened the door, she closed the door and locked it, I looked around the room, it was very clean and comfortable, I noticed papers and folders scattered around the coffee table, the only thing out of place.

"This is my room, I had it built soud proof, no one can hear us in this room, even vampires," Bella said. She walked over to the coffee table, "I'm sorry for the mess," she said. I walked closer to her, she turned her face around, I bent down and kissed her. Her hands found her way to my hair, and my arms encircled around her waist, our lips moved together as one. We broke apart for air, air we didn't need, I nuzzled my face into her neck, "I missed you," I told her.

"I missed you too, " she told me. I opened my eyes. for they were closed, and held Bella at arms length, she was confused and curious at my act. I stared at her for a while and smiled and held her to me once again, "What was that?" Bella asked. "Just making sure you don't disappear again," I told her.

"No, I'm here," she told me softly. "Forever?" I asked. "Forever," she agreed, kissing me again.

*****

I was sitting in Bella's office, watching her work as she went through countless of files, and making phonecalls, I noticed she had two phones though. One was black and one was red, why would Bella need two phones?

The red phone rang once, and Bella answered it, more eagerly than usual, I payed close attention, to the phone call.

"Hello, Tara," Bella said. Tara, that name sounded famaliar, I remembered. Tara was the one who called Bella when Aro was planning an attack at my home in Oregon. He focused on what Bella said, since he couldn't hear what Tara's words were.

"Uh-huh, do you know when?" she asked.

"How big has it gotten?"

"Really? Can you send me a report of their ranks?"

"Thank you, bye," Bella said.

'What was that about?" I asked her, as she hung up the phone. "You'll have to find out just like everybody else," she told me. I sighed, if Tara was who I thought she was, the call was important and had to do something with Aro and Bella's war. I was impatient, I knew that, but I needed to know, I knew Bella well enough that she would not tell me so easily. So I did the only thing I could, dazzle her.

"Do you think you can spare a few minor details with me?" I asked her again, my face only inches away from hers. "Nnn.. Yes. Yes, I am," she replied. What began as a stutter and ended with a strong, 'Yes'. I grinned, for I won, and gave her a kiss on the lips, then Bella smiled warmly at me.

She shocked me, at what she did next, "Yes, Edward, I am sure that I won't tell you," she told me. She got up from her desk and walked gracefully out the door, I turned around, I lost.

"Tsk, tsk, Naughty Edward," Amber scolded, tapping her finger, with another two times, before heading to the same direction, Bella walked to.

I was a bit stunned, I did not hear or sense her in any way, when did she there? And what did she see? I smiled to myself, and walked out the door.
