Trust ~ Chapter 26.

I dreamed of nothing but Edward.

He loved me.

I loved him.

We danced.

We kissed.

I felt his touch.

His hand running down my arm.

I heard him giggle.

Wait, he didn't giggle.

That sounded like a girls laugh…

I opened my eyes and found Alice giggling as she tired to waken me up.

"Thank goodness you are awake. Your moaning was driving me mad!"

"I think she loves Edward!" Rose gushed! Pretending she was all coy.

"I think she wants to kiss him some more." Alice exclaimed.

"I am going for a shower!"

"Better make that a cold one by the sounds of your dreams…did you know you talked in your sleep?"

"Noooooooooooooo!" I sat bolt upright and stared at them both.

They both nodded and laughed. "Don't worry you didn't tell us anything we didn't already know. But dose he know you love him?"

I stared at them both and collapsed back on the bed.

"It is too soon to tell him that!"

"Do you love him?" Rose asked calmly.

"I think so. I have never felt this way about anyone before. I think he cares about me too."

"He loves you Bells. I can see it in his eyes."

"You can tell by the way he acts around you."

I sighed. Did Edward love me?

"You know you have told each and every one of us that you love us?"

I nodded. "All of you except him. It is too soon."

"You will tell each other when the time is right Bells."

"First love is amazing Bella. You never forget your first love."

I was about to ask them about their first loves when I heard a gentle knocking on the door and Esme came in with cups of tea and juice for us.

"Morning my lovely girls, how did you all sleep?"
We had all slept like babies.

"No dreams Bella?" she asked looking concerned.

Alice laughed "Well no bad dreams eh Bells?"

Rose spluttered her tea as she laughed.

We sat and chatted then I got up to go get ready.

I gathered underwear and my dressing gown then went to shower.

When I came back through Alice was picking out clothes for me. "What about this? She held up her choice of outfit for me. I nodded at the clothes.

I was amazed at how comfortable I felt getting dressed in so little in front of them now. Esme applied the balm to my bruise. "It is almost gone now."

They didn't know how much they were helping me to heal emotionally as well as physically.

"Tomorrow, can we take you to our shop Bells?" Rose asked.

"Oh no, not tomorrow, I have made plans with Edward."

"Well then Thursday, you, me and Rose." Alice added.

"I need to come into town on Thursday I could meet you for lunch if that's ok?" Esme asked.

"Of course it is. Sounds like a great plan."

I went back to sit on my bed with them.

Alice picked up a brush and asked if she could help me dry my hair. "Can you do it in a soft pleat like Esme did for me the other day Alice? It is really comfy like that."

When she was finished I put my watch, earrings and necklace back on. As I applied some mascara and lip balm I asked "What have you girls got planned for today?" Alice stretched back on my bed.

"I think we will nip into the shop. See that Angela is ok, check out the new stock and then come home and just relax."

"It has been lovely taking this week to be with you as a family. I can't remember when we did that last." Rose was curled up next to Alice.

"I am going to go get some things sorted. Do you want to wake up Edward so we will be ready to go at 10 Bella?"

I jumped up a little too eagerly, causing me to stumble but catch my self before I fell. I heard them laugh at me, saying how I was in such a hurry to go get my lover boy.

"I m not even going to disagree with that cause you won't believe me anyway."

"You know it's true!" Rose laughed.

"Yeau, well it might be." I giggled.

I knocked on his slightly opened door. I could hear him breathing gently as he slept.

He was lying on the centre of the bed on his back.

One hand was under his head the other lay to the side. I got on the bed as gently as I could with out waking him up. I curled up beside him and laying my hand on his chest. He mumbled and pulled me in tight beside him. I stayed perfectly still. He didn't waken up but said my name.

He was talking in his sleep. I lay there listening as he said my name a few times.

"Bella."

I didn't answer him. He was asleep right?

"Bella. Stay here. Don't go anywhere."

"I am right here Edward" I whispered to him.

I wriggled to try and move up the bed a bit.

He held me tighter. I stroked his chest and he relaxed a little bit. As he exhaled he softened his hold and I moved up the bed a bit.

I was up beside his face now.

"Bella. I love you."

I froze.

He was asleep. But he loved me.

"I love you too Edward."

I stayed still in his arms for a little while before I tried to waken him. I kissed his cheek. He sighed.

I kissed his temple. He mumbled something while moving his head around to face me.

Slowly and tenderly I started kissing his lips.

He moved his lips with mine. I guess he was awake now.

He let out a soft moan when I pulled away.

"You stopped…why did you stop kissing?"

"I didn't want to take advantage of you while you were sleeping baby." I whispered.

"You can take advantage of me at any time my gorgeous girl."

"You ready to get up?" I asked.

"I am already up, I had been thinking about you and there it was!" he laughed.

"You are terrible!" I groaned.

"Yeap! And it is all for you baby."

I lifted the covers and looked at his morning glory.

"I see that." He laughed loudly this time.

"Care to help me out in the shower this morning Love?"

"I have already had a shower I am nice and clean thank you."

"You can get dirty with me…" He still hadn't opened his eyes.

"I would have to get undressed again."

His eyes flew open and he looked at me with his emerald gems.
He started kissing me. "Mmmm yes you would."

"I would be naked."

"Uh huh." More kisses.

"You would see me naked?"

"You have already seen me naked so fair is fair! I could show you me naked again too." He reasoned.

"Well I guess you have a point there. But…"

"No. No buts baby. Come on. Show me what I want to see." He was so dammed sexy and persuasive.

"Nope…not gonna happen Mr Sex Hair!"

"I do not have sex hair, we haven't had sex!" He laughed.

"Come on we have to go get ready, we have a busy day ahead."

"Can I spend it all with you today?" he asked hopefully.

"Well most of it." I replied in between his kisses.

"Why, which part do I have to leave you for?"

"Well I would rather the first time that you see my bits naked it is not with Mama there."

"What? Why is Mum going to see your bits at all?"

He sat upright almost knocking me off the bed.

I squealed and he grabbed onto me stopping me falling.

"Well she is going to see me in a hospital gown. I am going to see the doctor today. You can come with us but I don't think you should come into the room while she examines me."

"I could come in instead of Mum…" He smirked.

"Oh yes. Like that is going to happen? I don't think so Mr!"

Edward grabbed me and started tickling me. I was shrieking with laugher. There was a loud knock on the door, and I heard Jasper shouting in.

"Edward! Have you got my baby sister in there?"

"No!"
Edward grabbed me and pulled the covers up trying to hide me.

"I am coming in you better be dressed dude!"

The door opened and Jasper walked in.

"Edward. Where is Bella?"

"No idea man. Just here by myself."

"Yeau right, the girls said she came in here. What's that lump in your bed?"

I was trying to not to laugh. We all knew he knew I was in the bed. I loved our games.

"Well Jasper. I didn't know this was new information to you, but viral young men wake up often wake up aroused in the morning and you just find it just there."

I was shaking with laughter now.

"Oh now dude, do not talk about you being aroused to me. Especially not with my baby sister being held against her will next to you!"

He was right beside the bed now grabbing onto the bed covers. "Edward, you better be wearing clothes under this or so help me god I will need brain bleach!"

"I might not be are you going to risk seeing me in all my glory?"

"DO I need to get Emmett?"

Edward was laughing hard now. I felt his hand grab onto me. In an instant the covers were pulled off and Jasper had grabbed me lifted me up in the air. I screamed out laughing.

"At least you are dressed baby girl. What were you doing under there?"

"Erm…nothing actually. Just sort of…well…no I really wasn't doing anything."

"I trust you but not him. You can come with me now and do nothing downstairs while he gets washed and dressed." He laughed.

"Say goodbye now."
"Bye Edward! See you downstairs." I shouted as Jasper threw me over his shoulder and left Edward's room.

"I need to get some things from my room, can we go in there first Jasper please?"

"Sure baby sister."

I squealed as he threw me on my bed then launched himself on the other side of the bed.

"Did you do ok last night Bells? No nightmares?"

"I slept really well. No bad dreams at all."

"I was worried that seeing Renee would upset you."

"So was I but I never thought about her once."

I gathered up my messenger bag that my laptop had come wrapped in. "Do you think you could set this up for me today please? And show me how to work it when I come home?"

"Sure I will show you how to work it this evening after dinner if you want."

"Thank you." I took the bag and decided it would be just what I needed to take stuff into town with me.

I picked up my iPod and camera both fully charged and ready to use. I went to my box in the wardrobe and took out my birth certificate and the bank details which I have my modest savings in from before I met the Cullen's. There was not much left in my box now, but I was not ready to throw the box away.

I had unpacked my books, but the clothes that I arrived with were still in the other box that was still in the closet.

I lifted up my lip gloss and money purse and was all set to go.

"That's me."

"You are so quick for a girl Bella." Jasper laughed. He had been napping on my bed.

"Let's go Big brother."

It was going to be a busy day.
