B.P.O.V.
The sun shining through the window woke me from my muddled dreams. I stretched in my bed noticing that I was still in the same clothes as yesterday; everything that had happened came back to me in a flash. I climbed out of bed, wondering how I'd got there; I must have fallen asleep on the couch and one of the Cullen's carried me to my room. I wonder if Edward had returned home and carried me up? I smiled at the thought. I made my way to my bathroom in the desperate need for a shower. Once dressed I made my way downstairs and saw that Alice, Emmet and Rosalie were all sat in the living room.
"Morning B, sleep well?" Emmett asked.
"Yea I did thanks." I smiled at him. "How exactly did I get to bed?"
"That would be me." I raised a questioning eyebrow at him. "I tried to wake you but decided I may as well just take you up there; I thought you would be more comfy in your bed rather than on the couch." I nodded.
"Jaspers cooking for you." Alice told me peering over her fashion magazine. I made my way into the kitchen and found Jasper plating up his creation. I sat at the breakfast bar and stuffed my face. Once I'd finished another amazing Jasper culinary creation and washed my dishes I made my way back into the living room.
"So he never came back last night?" I asked the room.
"No, I'm sorry."
"What you sorry for Rose? None of this is your fault." I told her. "So what happened after I left yesterday?"
"Well Edward was furious with Tanya. He had her pinned against the wall; me and Em were trying to get him off her." Jasper told me. "Esme comes running in and uses her 'mom' voice on him. He released Tanya and told her she had to leave before he killed her. Esme went mad at him. Then once Esme had the full story she basically told Tanya that next time she wouldn't stop Edward."
"So why did Edward decide to run off again?" I asked.
"He just needs some time." Alice said. "He was so upset by the situation. He was angry with Tanya and he was saddened that you got upset. He knows that you got badly hurt by all this and you know what he's like; he puts the blame solely on his shoulders. He took it to heart everything you said to him." I nodded understanding everything she had said.
We all sat in the living room in silence. I was sat staring out the window watching the suns rays filtering through the trees making patterns on the lawn. It was then that something Esme said last night came to mind.
"Guys what did Esme tell me he said before he left last night?" I asked the group.
"He said he wanted to go somewhere alone to think." Alice informed me.
"Oh my god, the meadow." I realised. "Can one of you take me to his meadow?"
"Hop on!"
"Jasper I love you." I laughed as I jumped onto his back as he crouched in front of me.
"Yea yea let me guess only when I'm cooking or giving you a lift." He laughed. With a quick wave to the others we were off.
It didn't take us long to get there; we stopped in the tree line at the edge of the meadow. From here I could see Edward lying in the middle of his meadow just staring at the sky. His skin sparkling in the sun was a beautiful as always. I slid off Jaspers back and smiled at him gratefully as he took off back towards the Cullen's. I took a deep breath then slowly started walking towards Edward. He turned his head to watch my approach not making any other movement; I carried on walking towards him never taking my eyes off his beautiful golden ones. Once I was within arms reach he sat up.
"I'm sorry." I told him. I decided it was best for me to speak first.
"Why are you sorry? If anyone should be sorry it should be me." He told me.
"I'm sorry that I didn't give you the chance to explain. I'm sorry that I didn't even try to listen to you. I'm sorry for the things I said before I took off. I'm sorry that I've been pushing you away and then reacting the exact same way I went mad at you for." He had a questioning look on his face at that last one. "I was angry at you for running away when things got difficult and then I did the exact same thing." I sat down in front of him.
"I'm sorry I've put you through so much pain Bella." He told me.
"Edward we need to talk." He nodded. "But we can talk later, for now could you just hold me?" he wordlessly opened up his arms for me. I crawled over to him and snuggled into his cool embrace. It felt so right to be back in his arms; I'm sure he felt the same as he tightened his arms around me and I could feel his face in my hair.
We sat for an unknown amount of time, not really caring just enjoying being together again without arguments, anger and accusations.
"Bella you do know that I NEVER did ANYTHING with Tanya don't you?" he asked stressing the keywords. I nodded my head as it leaned against his chest, his chin resting on my head. "Bella what about us? Where do we go from here?"
"I love you Edward."
"I love you my Bella."
"I think I would like us to try again being an us." I told him. I didn't have to see his face to know he was smiling. "But Edward there will have to be some changes. I refuse to go back to the way things were." He nodded.
"I understand that Bella." He told me taking one of my hands in his. "Believe it or not I have been listening to everything you've said these past couple of months. I know what was wrong last time and I know that we can work on it this time.
"So you're going to make this a relationship not a dictatorship?" I asked him as I turned in his lap to face him.
"I weren't that bad was I?" he asked and I giggled. "I love you Bella."
"I love you Edward. I just need to know that I can trust you, me and us." I leaned towards him and kissed him pouring all my love into the kiss.
"I promise you Bella I will help you gain that trust back. I will do all that I can to make this work. No more being controlling; if I'm being like that just tell me and I will try to listen. I agree with you with everything you've said and I will talk to you more about things."
"That's all I ask Edward. Sometimes before it was like I was being spoken at not to. It made me feel like a child in trouble." I told him honestly.
"I'm sorry Bella. I will do better, Mr Control Freak is gone." He smiled giving me a quick peck on my lips.
"So if there's no more Mr Control Freak does this mean we can talk about me being changed?"
"Don't spoil this Bella." He sighed.
"I'm serious Edward; if this is going to work we need to talk about it. It's going to happen at some point." He nodded and kissed me again.
"Well if your supposed change is up for discussion I would like to ask you something." He told me. "I love you Bella."
"I love you too Edward."
"Shhh don't interrupt me." He smiled at me as I giggled. "I love you Bella, will you marry me?"
I was shocked I did not expect that. I stared in his eyes and all they showed was sincerity in his words and pure love. There was no sign of uncertainty or doubt. What was I going to do? What should I say? I knew what my answer was so I decided not to keep him waiting.
AN: So what do you think her answer will be? I know I'm mean to leave it like that but got to keep you coming back some how. Hope you enjoyed and please review if you have chance. Thanks for reading; until next time. Xx
