Whoops. I forgot a disclaimer in the last chapter. So...I'm not stephenie Meyer. I don't own the characters in the story.
And that goes double for the other chapters.
Chapter Twenty Six – Y is for Yawn
My body was thoroughly drained. Between the wedding, the move to Alaska, and the long flight, I just had no energy left. Not to mention the anxiety I had about what would be happening in less than 24 hours.
Edward had probed me all day about what I wished to do on my last full day as a human. However, I was spent. Creatively bankrupt. There were no good ideas in my head, and clearly Edward was just as wasted. So the day had been spent unpacking my things and settling in. He held my hand the entire day, and with his beaming smile, I had nothing to complain about.
The Cullens had set up a beautiful new room. It was spacious, with my chocolate brown walls. Wide glass windows gave us a gorgeous view, and while most of the actual possessions (including the bed) were from Edward's room back in Forks, I felt at home.
I collapsed onto the bed, gently crushed by the weight of my husband. I was still trying to wrap the word around in my head, but it sounded awkward every time I thought of it.
"Please..." His voice was painfully quiet. "Sleep, just for a little while."
There would be no arguing with him over this tonight. But then I had one of those moments where the light bulb illuminated over my head. I grinned at him. "I know what I want now."
He looks at me obediently with one eyebrow raised.
"I want you to sing me to sleep."
His expression turned instantaneously to compliance. "What would you like? Your wish is my command."
I remembered the song I heard ice skating. The beautiful melody had been stuck in my head ever since that day. And I salivated at the thought of hearing him sing it. "You know."
He began without skipping a beat. "I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you." His voice was low, and lulled me. I fought to keep my eyes open with every ounce of strength I had. "Yes, there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you. I've seen the path your eyes wandered down. I wanna come too." His fingers explored my jaw, leaving me with a sleepy grin. "I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you."
"No one understands me quite like you do. Through all the shadowy corners of me." I sighed in ecstasy. Fighting to stay awake was growing more difficult—my motivation was to hear his silky voice longer.
"I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you." His hands traced my skin. "Yes there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you. I've seen the waters that make your eyes shine, now I'm shining too." I closed my eyes, but his flawless face lingered in my mind. "Because, oh because, I've fallen quite hard over you." His arms gripped me even tighter and I kept my eyes shut. "If I didn't know you, I'd rather not know. If I couldn't have you, I'd rather be alone."
"I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much. All of the world, light up a room." He smoothed down my hair, and I was fading fast. "I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much. All of the world, light up a room. All the world. Here with you."
"Thank you." I murmured while he hummed a few soft notes.
And for the last time in my existence, I drifted asleep in his arms.
Sorry they're all so short—most of my (little) energy is going towards the other four stories I'm writing. But out of all the chapters I wrote, this one was my personal favorite. Short but sweet, I think.
