CHAPTER 21 BPOV
"Bella, you can have the bed," Edward told me being an amazing kind gentleman, I had expected to be made to sleep on the floor, like I did with Jacob. I rolled over to look at Edward who looked amazingly awkward on the couch that was three feet short of comfortable.
"Edward, are you comfortable on that couch?" I asked him sleepily.
"Yes, thank you, Bella," I could tell he was lying unashamedly .
"Cut the crap Edward. I thought we were going to be honest with each other?" I told him letting the hurt seep into my voice.
"I'm sorry Bella; you are correct."
"Edward, come share the bed with me, we have another twenty miles to walk to Amarillo," I stated to him holding the corner of the sheets for him to get under.
"Thank you Bella," he told me as I felt him sigh and stretch his long lithe body on the bed.
The next morning I woke up and looked straight into his emerald green eyes, It took me a minute to realize that my head was on his chest I quickly scurried to sit on the foot of the bed on my heels.
"Oh god Edward I am so sorry; please forgive me," I pleaded with him.
"Bella, it didn't bother me at all. Did you sleep well?" he asked me not making a big or little deal of me sleeping on his chest.
"It was the best sleep I have had in four years, every night I have been made to sleep on the floor with a very thin blanket, so thin you could see through it." I informed him and I watched as his jaw drop and rendered speechless.
"Bella, this might be a bit strange but I need to know so I can help you get past this horrible time in your life. Did he make you eat your food a strange, unusual way" he asked me not looking at me but instead of at the sheet.
"Wow this is hard but I know that you need to know as I feel that I'm safe with you. So I want to tell you more of my time with Jacob. Whenever we were at home for a meal he would make me cook him a fancy meal, but I never got to eat any of it as he would feed me tuna in a dog bowl; if I used my hands I would get whipped with a leather belt so I learnt quickly how to eat without my hands." I told him with tears running down my face.
"Oh, Angel. That will never happen again, ever" he told me with as much strength as possible in his voice which made me will that what he was saying was true.
"Thank you, Edward that means a great deal to me" I said placing another kiss on his cheek
"You are very welcome, let's get dressed and start our walk to Amarillo" Edward said and we both stood up of the bed. He put on some jeans and a t-shirt; I put back on the only set of clothes that I had and we left the keys on the bedside table and left the room.
