Chapter 12
Song: Happiness by The Fray
"Happiness is just outside my window
Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour?
Or is happiness a little more like knocking
On your door, and you just let it in?"
BPOV
That morning I woke up with the sunlight shining through my window, another rare sunny day in Forks. There have seemed to be a lot of those lately. I hope it's a good sign. When I pulled my hands up to rub my tired eyes that's when I noticed the warm arm draped across my stomach. I turned and sighed in contentment when I saw his sleeping face. I raised my hand to stroke his cheek ever so gently, careful not to wake him. This is what I have been waiting for, this moment, to be with him without any complications, no more walls in our way, just peace. This is where I want to be forever, to be in his arms forever. I snuggled up closer to his chest carefully and sighed while I fell back into my peaceful slumber.
I started to stir awake again to a feeling off something touch my face. It felt like light kisses. I fluttered my sleepy eyes open and was greeted by my favorite guy wearing my favorite smile.
He leaned in, "Good morning, love." He whispered and kissed my nose.
I closed my eyes and I'm pretty sure I blushed. "Morning, how did you sleep?" I asked smiling on instinct at this moment.
He pulled me closer to his body, "It was the best sleep I had in a very long time." He smiled down at me.
I held my index finger up to my chin, "Hmm, I wonder why that is." I said smugly. I was referring to the little help I gave him last night.
"Hmm, yeah I wondered that too." He said jokingly wearing a bright smile on this perfect face.
"Hey!" I said lightly hitting him in the chest and turning away giggling.
He pulled me back so I was lying on my back in my former position and hovered over me. "Of course you were the reason, love. Just being able to hold you all night in my arms, waking up to your beautiful face," he stroked my cheek lightly. "It gives me the best feeling in the world. I cannot believe I missed out on this, on you for so long. I'm sorry I didn't see us like this before. I had the best thing in world right in front of me but I was too blind and ignorant to notice." He said with loving eyes.
My heart was bursting with love while he said this. This man I have loved for so long, the words I have been dying to hear for so long were finally being said, I finally have him. I couldn't be any happier than I am at this moment.
Smiled up at him, "Well it took you long enough." I said grabbing his hair and pulled him down for a kiss, he laughed as I did this and smiled against my lips as we shared one of the best kisses in my life. This kiss wasn't like any of the others we had well since…yesterday. It was happy, free, peaceful, loving, adoring, innocent, but a little lusty at the same time. It was everything I needed.
We broke apart due to my rumbling stomach. I cursed inwardly at it. Nice timing tummy.
"Hungry, love?" He asked sitting up and pulling me up with him after placing another one of his lovely kisses on my nose.
I nodded my heading blushing. He pushed a few strands of my hair back, "What would you like to eat, love?" He asked.
I was really getting used to the nickname he had for me, it never failed to make me blush.
"Do you think we could go to IHOP instead of staying in? I kind of want to enjoy the rare sun today. We can eat outside on the patio." I said glancing over out the window enjoying the light the sun way giving off to my bedroom.
"Of course, whatever you want. Now, shower? Go on in and I'll take one after." He said pulling the cover off so I can climb off the bed.
I hopped off and pulling his arm with me, "Or we can save time and water and take one together, but no funny business Cullen." I warned playfully. But I really meant it, I wouldn't mind fooling around a bit but I still feel the same way about giving all of myself to him, I mean probably not too most people but to me that was a pretty big and intimate step between two people. And when the time comes I want it to be just right, not in a shower.
He smiled wickedly at me, "I wouldn't dream of it." He said pulling me hurriedly over to the bathroom.
The time in the shower was absolute heaven, we touched, we kissed, we caressed and nothing felt wrong, or dirty…no pun intended. It was blissful even though no sex was involved.
Now I was in my closet looking for something to wear when I felt two warm arms wrap around my toweled body. Edward kissed up my ear and whispered, "Wear the blue top, that color looks amazing on you, love."
I blushed and turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck, I was about to speak when I noticed that he was still in a towel and that he had nothing clean to change into.
"Edward, what are we going to do about you're clothes?" I gasped putting my hands on his bare chest.
He looked down at himself, he laughed, "I guess we were a bit distracted to think about that, maybe we can stop by my apartment so I can change? Is that alright?" He asked.
"Of course," I said turning back to grab my clothes of the hangers. But just then I heard the front door open.
"I'm home, are you guys descent?" Alice called from the living room.
I walked out of the closet clad in a towel and over to Alice who was covering he eyes with her arm.
"Well I'm in a towel…" I said lamely.
She uncovered her eyes and raised an eyebrow when Edward came out of my bedroom also clad in a towel around his hips.
I was about to say something when Alice just waved her hand to stop me, and held out some clothes she had in her other hand.
"Here, I figured Edward might need these." She said tossing the clothes over to Edward.
How does she always know these things? I swear she's physic or something.
Edward nodded his head at her, "Thanks, Alice." He said then turned back into my bedroom to change.
That left me clad in my towel and Alice standing awkwardly in the living room.
"so," She started "Are you and Edward like…you know, now?" She whispered.
I nodded my head smiling while a blush creped up on my cheeks. "But um we haven't um done that yet." I whispered back to her. "But anyways," I continued, "We are not talking about this right now I have to go change." I said waving a hand in the air. "I'm going out to eat breakfast with Edward."
"Oh, Bella," She said coming over to me giving me a hug, "I'm so happy for you, I'm glad this all worked out." She gave me one more hug then disappeared into her bedroom.
I then turned back into my bedroom to get changed. What I saw when I came in was a wet-haired Edward rolling up the sleeves on dark blue button down shirt. He makes rolling up sleeves look sexy, he's that good. He saw me standing there staring and smirked.
I just shook my head to clear my thoughts and hurried into my closet and got dressed.
This boy will be the death of me.
It's been three weeks since Edward and I have been together. Three blissful, amazing, loving, weeks. Everything seems just to fit into place while the days went by. We both agreed that we would take things slow, enjoy theses first moments together, there was no need to rush. We spent the time reconnecting, finding our friendship and deepening it. And maybe I'm naïve for thinking this but nothing can go wrong from here on out, things can only get better. It had to we didn't go through all this for nothing just to get shot back down again right?
Edward and I were at "our" coffee shop having a cup before he went to work when his phone rang.
Edward took it out and his face went pale when he looked at the caller ID.
"Who is it Edward?" I asked reaching for his over the small table. I was worried. Who could be calling that made him react this way?
"It's Tanya." He whispered without looking up from the phone.
Tanya? Why the hell would she be calling? Probably just some shot to get Edward back. Not going to happen blondie.
I know this sounded like a jealous girlfriend but I didn't want Edward to answer it. What is it to us now if she called? We have moved on from her. I didn't want her interfering with out new found relationship.
"Please don't answer that Edward." I said just above a whisper.
He finally looked up at me. "I won't." He said silencing his phone and placing it back on the table.
We were about to get off the subject and forget about when it rang again.
Edward took a glance at it.
"Tanya, again." He said annoyed.
And once again he silenced it.
Then a little beep came from his phone indicating he had a new voice message.
He picked it up, and sighed, "What the hell does she want?" He pushed a button and held the phone up to his ear.
About 30 seconds had passed by and Edward had turned as pale as a vampire.
"Edward? What was it?" I asked grabbing his arm.
He quickly shut the phone and ran a hand through his hair grabbing at it.
He didn't answer me and now I was really starting to get worried.
So I tried again. "Edward, what did she say?" I asked almost begging.
He quickly got a hold of his composer and said, "Uh nothing, nothing." He smiled and stroked my cheek with his hand. Then he asked, "Are you ready to go, love?"
"Uh, sure." I said smiling half-heartedly. We were walking towards the car and the voice message was still itching at me. How can it be nothing? What would be so important that she called more than once and leave a message?
Edward and I were in the car and pulling out of the parking lot when I decided to further ask about the message. I just couldn't let it go unless I knew for sure it was really nothing. Because by his reaction to it, it sure didn't look like nothing.
"Um, Edward… What did Tanya say on the message exactly?" I asked warily.
He sighed again, "Bella, it's nothing okay?" He said losing his cool a bit.
Surely it was something or he wouldn't be acting this way.
"Well, it sure doesn't seem like nothing, please tell me." I pushed
"Bella," He said a bit loudly. I was getting a bit angry now. I'm his girlfriend now. Why can't he tell me what's going on? Especially if it involves Tanya? "I said it was nothing, can we just drop it please?" He said heated.
"I know it's not anything Edward! Why can't you just-"
He slammed on the breaks at the stop sign and yelled. "Tanya's pregnant!"
"Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that's enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar"
A/N: So how was that? I wasn't going to let the story go off that easily. Please don't hate me!
