Chapter 29: Together at Last!
I woke up with a massive headache and my throat burned. I rolled over and hit something, I screamed. You'd think I was used to it now. I looked up and sure enough it was Edward. He smiled at me and my mouth dropped, what had happened? I looked at Edward, he was shirt-less. Then everything came rushing back, the club, the drinks, that awful guy and the sex. I groaned not again.
"What's up Bells?" he asked with a confused look on his face.
"Did we you know? Again?"
"Yeah, don't you remember?" he seemed offended.
"Yeah I remember little parts but not many. I wasn't sure."
"Oh okay. Well I'm going for breakfast and then I've a lecture. So I'll be back about oneish okay?" I nodded. He kissed my forehead and left.
I got out of bed and dressed myself before stomping off to Ali's room. I banged on the door at first there was no answer. I banged again but then a very pissed looking Alice answered,
"What the fuck do you want Bells?" she said sleepily
"Me and Edward had sex again!" I started to cry. She pulled me into a hug and rubbed my back.
"Shhhh baby. It's okay. What happened?"
"I have no idea. I was pissed out my head and that's about it. All I remember was guys keep buying me drinks and then there was this guy who threw his drink over me and Edward came with me to clean up and bam! Third time." She laughed, "Ali if once is a mistake and twice is destiny. What's the third time?"
"Love Bella. Love." That word brought floods of memories back,
"I love you Edward."
"I love you too."
"Ali I think I told Edward I loved him. And I think he said it back." She squealed and pulled me into her harder.
"I told you it would work out! All along I said it and look it came true!" she smiled, "I'm so happy for you Bells!"
"I told Edward I didn't remember and now I need to find a sober way of telling him." She grinned an evil grin, I knew she had a plan.
Alice had booked us into one of the most expensive restaurants on campus, Jazz had paid for all of it and now all I had to do was get Edward there. I sighed that could be harder than it sounded.
"Edward do you want to have dinner with me?" I asked as soon as he walked in the door.
"Sure Bells. When? Tomorrow, Saturday?"
"Tonight?"
"Tonight! Bit short notice. I was actually kind of busy tonight. Maybe another night." I sighed and said okay.
I sat and sulked on the sofa for about an hour before I felt the other end of the sofa go down. I didn't look up, I knew it wasn't the person I wanted it to be.
"Bella," It was Jazz, "My brother and Alice told me what happened between you two. Are you alright?" I nodded
"I could go speak to my brother if you like. Get him to go out with you tonight. I think he's just embarrassed. He's never been in love. So I'm guessing he's confused and emotional right now. And having the girl you love not remember her telling you she loves you isn't very good for the ego." He laughed and I joined in,
"Thanks Jazz. I owe you one." He nodded and the went to Edwards room. Five minutes later Jazz walked out and gave me the thumbs up. I ran to Ali and asked her to do my clothes and make up. She dressed me in a knee length tight black studded dress with some studded stilettos and a black wrap. She had done my make up and made it look natural apart from the eye shadow which was a lightish black. Edward met me at the door of our dorm. He was dressed in a denim shirt and black baggy jeans with a pair of black converse. His shirt fitted his body perfectly, showing off all his abs. His mouth dropped and shut in a matter of a second, he was trying not to give himself away. That made me blush. We walked to his Volvo and headed to the restaurant.
We ate mostly in silence but silence between him and I was never uncomfortable. It was as if we could understand each others silences. We got back to the car and he turned to me, locking his eyes with mine.
"Bella, do I get to take you somewhere now?" he asked I just nodded, I was much too entrapped by his eyes to think let alone talk. We drove for a few miles and then he stopped. I looked around but there were no lights or buildings. It looked like a field or meadow of some sort.
"Edward where are we?" I asked, scared he might try and kill me here and that had been his plan all along.
"I love this place, I come here to think. It's special to me so I thought I should share it with you." I smiled it was such an Edward thing to say. We walked into the open space and I gasped, it was beautiful. Words actually couldn't describe this place. He sat on the ground and patted the grass beside him. I sat down and laid back, staring at the stars. I felt him lie down next to me.
"The stars are beautiful out here. No pollution, so clear to see." I said whilst still staring at them,
"It pales in comparison." He grinned
"In comparison to what?" I asked innocently
"You." He didn't even bother to break it to me easy, just came straight out with it. I blushed, a lot.
"Edward…" he interrupted me,
"No Bella. There is something between us and you know it. I think it scares you so you try and ignore it. But I'm not ignoring it anymore. I want you Bella. I need you. I know you want me too. You've said it twice and even if you don't remember I do. And…" I cut him off with my lips. I pressed them to his fiercely. His hands went to the back of my head pushing me closer to him and my fingers twirled in his hair. I pulled back for air,
"I was going to say, I love you Edward." He grinned
"I knew you did! I love you too Bells. More than you will ever know!" I laughed,
"Impossible! You cant love me as much as I love you."
"You compare one tree to the whole forest!" he laughed and I shut him up with my lips. They felt like they belonged there. Every time we broke apart, they called back to him. We pulled back and I pressed my forehead to his,
"So are we together?" I asked shyly
"At last!" He laughed, "You don't know how long I've waited for you." He smiled and I couldn't help it, my lips somehow found their way back to his.
