OK, so I didn't get any negative comments for the last chapter, so that's good (= lol Except for a grammer comment. I have apologized a couple times for my grammer mistakes, I know I make them, and as much as I try and avoid it, I slip with a couple things and don't write them properly. Sorry.
Anyways, enjoy this chapter! I really enjoyed writing this one (=
Chapter 36 .. Bella
"Woah, what the hell is going on?"
I closed my eyes, hoping whoever was on the other side of this couch would just disappear. Of course I couldn't get so lucky. I heard the light tapping of a foot and felt Edwards fingers still on my lips. I smiled a little knowing he was still touching me. Every time he had touched me in the last half hour or so, my heart started racing and my breathing would hitch and my stomach would tie itself in tiny knots. Just the effect he had on me, was driving me crazy.
"Well? Don't you two have a room? You could be up there doing that!" I heard a small tinkling laugh and let out a sigh of relief. It was only Alice. At first I thought it was Esme because of how she walked in. Then my brain was so frazzled with the fact that Edward was laying on top of me, pressing himself into me further, that my mind didn't comprehend the voice right away.
Edward chuckled a little and laid his head down on my shoulder. "Alice, go away."
She leaned over the back of the couch and rested on her forearms. "Where do you want me to go. This is the living room!" She chuckled and smiled down at me. "Actually could you two peel yourselves away from each other for a minute to say goodbye to me? Jasper's going to be here in twenty minutes and I have to finish getting ready."
Edward raised his head off my shoulder and looked at me first, then her, with confusion on his face. "You're going away for the weekend?" He almost looked excited, but still slightly confused.
She nodded, "Yeah. Where's mom so I can tell her?" She came around the couch and grabbed the pillow out from under my head, plopping down in the recliner and crossing her legs with the pillow on her lap.
My head fell to the couch and she giggled. "Edward, your sister stole my pillow." I gave him the best pouty look I could muster without breaking into laughter and he smiled at me.
"Here, let me fix that for you." He put his hand behind me, in between the hard arm of the couch and my head. "Better?"
It wasn't more comfortable, but I felt better. "You're too sweet Edward." I smiled up at him and he leaned down to kiss my lips again. Everything was suddenly coming back; the racing heart, the unsteady breathing, everything. We heard a throat clearing and he pulled away groaning.
"I thought you said you were leaving?" He turned his head to look at Alice and I couldn't help but laugh.
She smiled, "I am. But I can't go anywhere til Jasper gets here."
"Well give me your phone, let's see if I can get him here quicker." He blindly reached his hand behind him, looking at me the whole time.
She laughed and shook her head. "Where's mom?"
"She's not here. She's with dad. He had to assist in some surgery somewhere and won't be back til Monday." He leaned down and kissed my cheek, trying to salvage some of our moment.
"So you two are going to be left here all weekend? All alone?" She raised an eyebrow at us. "Should I just stay here."
Edward finally turned around to look at her. "No! You go away." He smiled as he slowly climbed off of me and sat up at my feet. He held his hands out for me to grab and hoisted me up into a sitting position, pulling me against his chest. I was upset we were interrupted, but felt great just being this close to him. He smiled down at me and winked. "I'll be right back love." he gave me a kiss on the cheek before climbing off the couch and walking over to Alice. He smiled and swiftly reached down, grabbing the pillow. Before she could say anything he whacked her in the back of the head with it and walked back over to me. I was laughing so hard at the face she was making that I had to grab my stomach to try and stop if from hurting.
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen!" Uhoh. She used the full name. No one usually called Edward by his full name because it was just too long. She looked over at him and stared him down. "Now I have to go fix my hair, again, before Jasper gets here!" She jumped out of the chair and ran for the stairs. "I won't forget this Eddie!" She ran up to her room and we heard a door slam.
Edward plopped on the couch next to me laughing almost as hard. When we finally stopped laughing, he looked at me and raised a hand to touch my cheek. "I love you Bella." He leaned in to kiss me and I grabbed the collar of his shirt in my hands. I felt him smile into this kiss and I pulled him closer to me. He gently laid me back onto the couch, quickly moving the pillow behind my head before my head hit the arm, just like we were before. After we were back in almost the exact position we were in before Alice decided to interrupt, he pulled back and looked at me. "Now. Where were we?" He smiled and bent down to kiss me again, holding himself up on his elbow, while the other hand went back to my hip. He pulled away and smiled down at me. "You're beautiful Bella."
I couldn't stop the quiet moan that came from between my lips. He grinned, obviously pleased with my reaction and begun kissing me again. I got more and more into the kiss as his hand reached the same position it was before. I knew Alice was right upstairs, but I also knew I had a handsome, wonderful, really great kissing, boyfriend right here and there was just something I needed. Him.
He pulled back a little and looked in my eyes. "Bella?"
I swallowed hard and smiled. "Yes?"
"What were you going to say before? You started but never go to finish." He kept his gaze on me, never faltering for a mere second. I want you. That's what I was going to say. But I couldn't say it now, not with Alice upstairs and us on a couch. And not now because I didn't know how he felt. I knew he was comfortable with what we were doing right now, but that's only because he wasn't pulling away or moving from me at all. If anything he was pushing closer and moving things further.
I tried to think of something to say. "I, um, just wanted to say that I, uh, love you. That's it." I smiled and pulled him in for another kiss.
"Are you sure that's all you wanted to say?" He grinned at me and I melted. I was just about to say what I really wanted to say when we heard the door open again. Edward groaned again, a little louder this time, and slumped down on my shoulder like before. "Oh for the love of.."
"Hey guys? You in here?" Jaspers voice rang through the living room and Edward lifted his hand above the back of the couch and waved. It was a quick irritated wave and it made me giggle. "Bella? Edward?" I looked up and saw Jasper standing above us behind the couch, peering over the back kinda like Alice did. He wagged his eyebrows and bent down. "So what were you two up to?" He smiled and rested his chin in his palm as he propped himself up on his elbow.
Edward looked back down at me and shook his head. "Were. What we were up to!"
I giggled and looked back at Jasper. "You two are going to drive Edward nuts."
He narrowed his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
I laughed and pointed to the stairs, "Alice is up there. Go find her."
He nodded and walked around the back of the couch. "Alright. Don't get too busy while I'm up there. I don't wanna come down to something that will fry my brain cells." He smiled and jogged up the stairs.
I felt Edward sigh and rest back against my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around him and held him there, twisting my head to kiss his neck. I closed my eyes and just laid there with him. After a couple minutes he relaxed a little and I felt more of his weight rest on me. It wasn't enough to hurt me, and I could tell he was straining to hold himself up. I pressed my lips to the base of his neck and kissed him, feeling him rest against me a little more. I moved my lips to his ear and kissed his cheek softly. "Relax Edward." I felt him relax completely and laid half on top of me and half to the side. He sighed again and I looked over to see his eyes closed. I wrapped my arms tighter around him and closed my eyes too. I shifted a little so we were laying next to each other and bent my leg again to rest it against him.
"Aw, aren't they adorable together Jazz." I opened my eyes to see Alice and Jasper standing at the bottom of the stairs. Jasper had Alices overnight bag in his hands and she was rested against the staircase.
I smiled and unwrapped my arms from Edward. He gently gripped my wrists and stopped me. "No. Don't move please." He softly kissed my neck and kept his eyes closed. "Just wait. They'll go away eventually."
I laughed and stretched my lips to his ear, "Let's get up and say goodbye to them, then we'll be all alone again. And this time," I softly kissed his cheek, "they won't come back." I smiled and I felt him chuckled against me.
"OK." He sat up and pulled me up with him, keeping his arms around me till we were sitting up. Then he stood up and held his hand out for me. I stood too and fixed my shirt, then pulled the hair tie out of my hair so I could fix it. It was a little messy from when Alice decided to play grand theft with my pillow. I saw Edward giving Alice a hug goodbye and then he gave Jasper a quick hug too. Alice ran over to me and hugged me.
"Be easy with my brother." She giggled in my ear and I playfully pushed her away.
"Have fun in Seattle." I smiled at her and looked over to say goodbye to Jasper. "Bye Jasper, see you Sunday." I gave him a hug and he kissed my cheek.
"Bye Bella. Have fun here, doing, uh, well whatever you were doing." He smiled.
"You two are pathetic." I laughed as we walked them to the door. They walked outside and got into the car, then waved as they drove down the driveway.
I stood there for minute, wondering how I got lucky enough to spend the entire weekend completely alone with Edward. No one to bother us. No one to interrupt us if we wanted to make out on the couch again. No one to tease us for making out on the couch again.. My thoughts were disturbed by my feet being lifted off the ground and the door being kicked shut. Before I could even gasp, I was thrown over Edwards shoulder and spun around as he walked back into the living room. "Edward!"
He laughed and stopped moving. "Yes love?"
"Put me down!" I hit his back with my fist. Not hard enough to hurt, and he just laughed.
He started spinning me around and around, trying to make me dizzy. "What Bella? You don't like being up there?" His grip tightened on my thighs and he slowed down the spinning a little.
"You're going to make me puke all down your back Edward!" I was trying hard not to giggle too much, and try and be a little serious, but I was having too much fun.
"Don't you puke on me, or you'll be doing the laundry." He stopped spinning all together, but didn't put me down yet. "I, myself, rather like the view from this side." He playfully tapped the bottom of my thigh and I jumped.
"Edward!" I tried to wrap my hands around to move his, but I couldn't reach, so I decided to play back. I huffed, "I guess you're right. The view is pretty good." I reached down to grab the hem of his shirt and lifted it a little, and lightly ran my fingernails across his back, tickling what I could. "You do have a pretty nice butt from up here."
He laughed and walked over to the couch, throwing me down. I bounced a little before he climbed back on top of me. He put both hands on either side of my face and smiling. "So I have a nice butt huh?"
I giggled and nodded. He started chuckling too and leaned down to kiss me. "Well thank you." He kissed me again, smiling into this time. "Yours isn't too bad either." He jumped off of me and held a hand out for me. I grabbed it and he pulled me into a hug. "Why don't we get ready, and go to an early dinner. When we're done with dinner, we'll come back here and just relax? Maybe have a movie marathon. We haven't done that in a while. That sound OK?" He moved a hand up to curl it into my hair and smiled.
I nodded and he kissed my forehead. "I'll go get ready. Can you grab our bags out of the car and bring them inside. I have some papers in there I have to sign for University." I smiled up at him and brought my hands down his arms. He nodded and gave me one more kiss before heading out the front door with his keys.
I ran up the stairs to trade my short sleeve shirt for a half sleeved yellow blouse, so I didn't really have to worry about a jacket. I brushed through my hair, then pulled it to the side, braiding it half way down and pulling my bangs back. I didn't bother with much make-up, figuring I didn't really need it. When I made sure I looked OK, I went back downstairs to see Edward sitting on the edge of the sofa switching off the TV.
"Ready?" He stood up and walked over to me, stopping mid step. He smiled and reached out a hand. "You look amazing Bella."
I walked forward and took his hand, "Thank you. Ready to go?" He nodded and put a hand on the small of my back, leading me to the car. "Where are we going anyway?" I looked over at him as he climbed into the car and started it.
He looked over and smiled before putting the car into drive and starting down the driveway. "I figured we'd keep it simple. Go to the diner?"
I nodded and leaned back in the seat. "Perfect." It was simple and kinda fun. Not over done, and very familiar. Cozy. Just what I needed tonight.
The past couple weeks had be so hectic and busy and stressful, that I just wanted to relax and be with Edward. I wanted to spend a fun night with him, just us. Bella and Edward. Just be the simple couple we were. I didn't ask for much, and neither did he. Being with Edward was so comfortable. Whether it was just me and him, all alone, spending time with one another and being the couple we are, or hanging out with everyone, our friends, and the people we loved, being the best friends we've always been. Keeping a healthy balance between the two was a lot easier than I ever thought it would be. It was like I kept expecting things to change. I kept expecting us to fall into the roll of the awkward couple that's only been dating barley six months, but we never did.
That was half the reason I was so scared to take the next step in our relationship. I was scared things would be weird and awkward between us. Our bodies might be ready for that next step, but what if our minds weren't? What if my subconscious mind didn't picture Edward the way I wanted to see him that night? What if I couldn't get past my own insecurities long enough to see him for who he really was; the love of my life. The man I wanted to spend forever with. The guy that had always put me first, and made sure I was happy above all else. I had admitted to myself a long time ago that there would be no other man in my life. He was it. He was the one I was meant to spend my forever with, and there's no way that I would ever, willingly, be without him.
"Bella? Are you OK?" I felt a hand on my knee and a gentle squeeze. I looked up to see we were parked in front of the diner. Then I looked over to Edward and finally smiled. I nodded and he kept his eyes on me for a second, before turning the car off and getting out. I stayed seated, twisting and turning my fingers in my hands until he opened my door and reached for it. As I stood in front of him, he took both my hands in his and bent down to look in my eyes. "Are you sure you're OK Bella? You look a little, kinda nervous?" He gave me a confused look and I shook my head.
"Nothing's wrong. I'm fine." I smiled at him and looked away from his eyes, moving away from the door so I could shut the door. But as I tried to move one of my hands from his, he held it tighter. I looked back up at him and swallowed hard. I honestly didn't know what was coming over me. Why was I freaking out now all of a sudden? We were just going to get dinner. If anything, shouldn't I have been freaking out a half hour ago when we were on top of each other, making out on the sofa?
"Bella talk to me real quick. What's wrong?" He gently pushed me back and sat me sideways on the seat, and knelt in front of me. He kept my hands in his the whole time, softly rubbing my knuckles with his thumbs.
I shook my head. "I don't know. I just zoned out for a minute. I'm fine now." I smiled at him and as I looked into his concerned eyes I realized I shouldn't be worried. It was only going to drive me crazy thinking about something like that. So far, me and Edward have felt nothing less that natural. Why should that be any different? Anything and everything me and Edward did felt completely intuitive. Nothing was out of balance or abnormal, and the only thing that would ruin that particular moment would be me worrying myself sick about it.
And now, I was clearly worrying him.
"Bella, do you wanna go back home?" I let go of one of my hands and raised it to rest on my cheek. I practically melted under his touch as I shook my head.
"No. I wanna stay." I smiled again and twisted my head to kiss his palm. "Sorry. I was thinking about something and I let myself get too worked up." I took his hand back and stood up, nudging the door shut with my elbow. "Let's go eat."
He nodded and led me into the diner. We took our seats near the back, and instead of Edward sitting across the table from me on the other bench, he scooted in after me. I looked over and smiled, resting my head on his shoulder. He wrapped an arm around me and held me close for a second before the waitress approached us.
"Hello Bella. Edward." She smiled at us and handed us the menus. It was pointless really, we practically had the menu memorized. Not only did Esme and Carlisle bring us here at least once a week when we were younger, but for the first two years of high school it was pretty much an everyday thing to come to the diner after school. It was when we were all together, all of us. Not half here, half there, only seeing each other on the weekend. I couldn't wait til me, Edward and Alice officially moved and we were all together again. It was just easier that way.
"Hello Martha." Edward looked up and smiled. "Can we start with two cokes?" He looked over at me to make sure and I nodded. The man really knew everything there was to know about me.
"Of course. I'll be right back with that." She smiled at us both and hurried away to get our drinks.
I felt Edwards hand moving up and down my arm. "You sure you're OK?" He looked down at me and I nodded.
"I'm positive." I reached over for the menu, and opened it, quickly looking it over.
He did the same, occasionally looking over at me. He finally set his down and smiled. "You know what you want?"
I started biting on my bottom lip and furrowed my eyebrows.
He chuckled and leaned over. "Let me guess. You're torn between the salad with chicken on top and the hamburger with fries." I laughed and ducked my head behind the menu a little bit more. Told you he knew everything. He started laughing and pulled the menu from my hands gently. Just seconds later, Martha came back with our drinks.
"OK, are you two ready?" She didn't even bother taking out her order pad.
Edward nodded. "Yes, I'll have the burger and extra fries, and Bella will have the salad with chicken." He smiled and handed her the menus.
"Alrighty. I'll get that right in." She took the menus, smiling at us both and walking away again.
I looked over at him and grinned. "Thank you."
He pulled me back into his side and lowered his cheek to rest of the top of my head. "No problem love." This was nice. A quiet, comfy evening with Edward. It's what I needed, what I wanted most. I loved being around our friends, but I also loved having Edward to myself every once in a while. It was going to be fairly difficult, having moments like this, when we all moved in together. But I was too excited to be around every one again to back out, and knowing me and Edward, we'd pull it off somehow. Chances of me getting a whole weekend with just Edward and myself in the next year were slim, but we had the rest of our lives to be together, uninterrupted. "What are you thinking about?" I felt Edward lips move against the top of my head and I sighed.
"You and I." I looked up at him and saw his huge grin.
He kissed my forehead. "Really? What about you and I?"
I pulled back a little bit to look up at him better. I shrugged and grabbed his hand under the table. "Being alone. Thinking about how much alone time we're actually going to get in the next year or so." I chuckled a little and he brought a hand to my cheek, moving the stray hair from my face and pushing it behind my ear.
"It won't be a lot." He leaned down and kissed my nose. "But we'll make it work." He moved his lips to mine and laid a small, sweet kiss on them. "And after college, we'll have all the time in the world to spend together." He moved his lips to my ear and lowered his voice. "And I look forward to that Bella." I felt his warm breath hit my earlobe and then a shiver ran down my spine.
"I know. That's what I was thinking about." I grabbed his face in between my hands and looked at him. "It's going to be so much fun living with everyone and all going to school together again, but I'm planning on finding every little opportunity to spend with just you, that I can." I smiled at him and got his slightly crooked grin in return. "I love you."
"I love you too." He gave me one more kiss before our food got to the table.
"Here you two go." She set my plate down in front of me, then Edwards in front of him. "And here you go Bella." She then set an empty plate in front of me and Edward smiled.
"Thank you." He looked back at me and kissed my cheek.
"No problem." She made sure we had everything we needed before walking away again.
"What's the extra plate for Edward?" I looked in front of me at the empty extra plate.
He chuckled a little before picking up his plate and tilting it, dumping half of his fries onto the empty one. "Silly Bella. Best of both." He smiled at me and kissed me. "If we don't take too long, we can stop by the video store and rent a movie for tonight."
We spent the whole dinner laughing and just enjoying being with each other. I'll admit, this was actually a big change from the Edward I'd known for the past couple weeks, maybe more. He seemed completely at ease. Nothing bothering him, nothing on his mind, but tonight. Just spending tonight with each other. Not thinking about high school, not thinking about finals anymore, not worried about college, just enjoying the idea of finally reaching that step. A couple weeks ago, I was almost convinced he was hiding something from me. I don't know why he would, but I just had that feeling. But now, seeing him laugh so much and just be himself again, I realized maybe it was just stress.
"Ready to go Bella?" He took my hand and I pushed my plate away.
I nodded. "Yep."
We, well he, paid the bill and we left. I don't see why he just couldn't let me pay for something every once in a while. We got to the video store just as it started to rain. He hurried over to my side before I could get out on my own and we ran inside.
"Why are we renting movies? Carlisle and Esme own almost every movie made." I laughed as we scanned the shelves of movies.
He shrugged, "Actually, I'm looking for a certain movie we don't have." He knelt down, resting on one knee to look on the bottom shelf.
"Well what are you looking for?" I tried to bend down to help him but he stopped me.
"Actually, could you go grab us a bunch of snacks. Emmett ate all the junk food when he was here last weekend and Esme hasn't gone grocery shopping yet." He chuckled a little, but kept looking for whatever movie it was he was trying to find.
I nodded. "OK. Meet you at the counter?"
He looked up and nodded. Smiling, he stood back up, gave me a quick kiss and went back to looking. I headed up to the front and wondered why in the world Edward was looking in the classic section. He was more of an action, little bit of horror, blood and guts, blowing stuff up movie kinda guy. He occasionally went for the comedies too, which brought me to another thought. I ran back to the aisle he was in and stood at the beginning, looking down to see him reading the back of a movie case. "Edward!" His head shot up and he looked right at me.
"Yes?"
"No Ghost Busters!" I narrowed my eyes and pointed my finger at him. He started laughing and nodded. I smiled and turned back to head up to the front again. By the time I had grabbed a couple things of popcorn, and a couple other things of small stuff, he was walking up to the counter with a movie in his hand. He had a smile on his face. "Get what you were looking for?" I tried to peer at the name of the movie, but his hand was covering it up. He nodded and set it on the counter as I set all the snacks up next to it. I reached out to turn it around and read it, but he pushed it further away and took my hand in his. "Why can't I see?"
"You'll see when we get home love." He leaned down and kissed my cheek.
I took a step back and surrendered. "OK, fine."
He smiled and thanked me. After paying for everything, we ran back to the car and drove home. When we got back to the house it was getting dark and raining harder, so we hurried inside and shut the door behind us. Edward looked down at me and smiled. "You should go change, before you get too cold." I nodded and ran up the stairs. I stopped half way up and looked over the railing at him.
"Edward?" I leaned against the railing and smiled.
He turned the second I said his name. "Yes love?"
"Are you coming? Your clothes are wet too." I grinned at him and he chuckled. He set the bags down and ran up the stairs after me.
The second I saw him run for the stairs, I bolted up the rest of them and down the hallway to the second flight of stairs. Halfway up those I heard him getting closer, so I attempted to take them two at a time. Unfortunately, my feet and equilibrium had other ideas. I tripped and braced myself for the impact. My hands shot out to catch myself, but when I stopped moving toward the stairs, my hands weren't touching anything. I opened my eyes and saw that I was still a couple feet from hitting them. Then I felt the strong arm around my stomach. I heard him chuckle as he kissed the back of my neck. He spun me around in his arms, still keeping me down. I noticed only one of his arms were around me, while the other was on the step just under my head holding himself, and now me, up. His leg was also brought up for more support and was up against me a little. "Bella, Bella, Bella. What am I going to do with you?" He smiled down at me and leaned down to kiss my forehead.
I sighed and relaxed in his arms. When I looked into his eyes, I saw the familiar radiant green, and between that and his arm tightly around me, holding me up, I started feeling things I'd never quite felt before. I wasn't very familiar with it, and I didn't know what to do from there. So we just kinda stayed there for a couple minutes, just looking at each other. But pretty soon I felt an involuntary shiver run across my arms and down my back. I looked up and saw we were right under the air vent, and my clothes were still wet.
"Now. Do you think you can take the rest of the stairs without injuring any of your beautiful self?" He gave me his signature lop sided smile and started pulling us up. I don't know why, but I didn't answer. I couldn't answer. I just focused on trying to stand and process a clear thought in my head. Apparently, he took my non response for a no, and before I could detest his action, he had me scooped up in his arms and started walking the rest of the way up the stairs. I attempted to fight him, but figured I'd better not, being on stairs and all. The minute we got to his room, I lightly pounded my fist against his chest.
"Put me down Edward. I really do enjoy spending time on my feet!" I smiled at him as he put me down right inside the door.
"Coulda fooled me." He smirked down at me and I shook my head. "Seems like maybe your feet don't like you spending much time on them, or else you wouldn't fall so much."
I turned around to walk over to the closet, grabbing my sweats and a tank top. I turned back around and narrowed my eyes. "Maybe that was just my feets way of telling you I wanted you to hold me." I laughed and tossed my clothes on the bed, reaching down to unzip my boots.
I felt him step forward and reach for my arm. "I don't need an excuse to hold you Bella." He smiled as I looked up and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, pulling me close. He wrapped the other arm around me and softly crushed my to his chest. "See." He ran his finger down my arm and it made me giggle.
"Yes Edward." I stretched up to kiss him. "You don't need any excuse." I smiled and twisted around to grab my sweats.
He let go and walked to his dresser to grab his own grey sweats. When we were both changed, we held hands going down the stairs. It was so weird looking around and seeing no one. Hearing no one else in this big house. Usually this house was bustling with people, someone always talking, people always doing things. But tonight it was quiet. I almost wasn't used to it, but I didn't care.
Me and Edward went into the kitchen first, taking the snack bag with us. He threw a bag of popcorn into the microwave as I searched for a bowl. "Bella, what do you want to do with these little bags of stuff?" He was holding up the bags of candy I picked out.
I looked back into the cabinet and grabbed a medium colored bowl. "Here." I put it on the counter and pushed it to him.
He picked it up and eyed me for a second. "Just put it all in here? Like together?"
I nodded. "Yeah. Why not?"
"Then it'll get all mixed up and your sour stuff with fall off onto your covered raisins." He thinks too much.
I walked over and grabbed the bags from his one hand, while setting the bowl back down on the counter. "Stop over thinking things Edward. It just candy." I smiled at him and he shrugged. I dumped everything from the four bags into the bowl and handed it to him. When the popcorn was done we dumped it into another similar bowl and headed to the living room. "Are you going to tell me what movie you picked out." I sat down on the couch and crossed my legs, setting the bowls on the coffee table.
"Nope." He opened the DVD case and I tried to peek over his shoulder but he was too far across the living room for me to read it. He stood up and smiled, grabbing the remotes from beside the flat screen and coming toward the couch. He pushed the coffee table up against the couch, only leaving a couple inches in between. Then he stepped over the arm of the sofa and slid down behind me, pulling me against his chest. He grabbed the blanket off the back of the couch and draped it over us before even turning on the TV.
When he finally turned the TV on and the opening credits started my mouth flew open. I turned around to look at him and tilted my head. "Edward?! You hate this movie.." I watched him shrug slowly and smile.
"I don't hate it. And you love it." He brought my face to his and gently kissed my lips. "And I've seen it so many times anyway." He smiled and turned me back around, bringing me back to his chest and resting his chin on my shoulder.
"What year is this one?" I twisted my head a couple inches to kiss his cheek.
"Nineteen seventy-six. They didn't have the one with Leonard Whiting that you like, but I didn't think you'd want the one with Leonardo Dicaprio." He scrunched his face and I laughed, laying my head back against him and focusing on the movie.
"Thank you Edward. But we really don't have to watch this if you don't want to. I know you dislike this movie." The first scene came on and he kissed the base of my neck.
"Don't worry, I won't be paying much attention to the movie." I felt him smile against my neck and laughed.
The movie was good. And it was only made better by Edward whispering Romeos lines in my ear. For someone that didn't really enjoy the movie a whole lot, he knew almost every line. And of course hearing the words come from him, to me, made me love the movie even more. It didn't matter who played Romeo, all I'd remember from now on was Edwards voice in my ear saying "..call me but love, and I'll be new baptized; Henceforth I never will be Romeo." Along with almost every other Romeo line. It was sweet and when the movie ended and Edward kissed my cheek, trailing his nose down my jaw to my neck, I felt my eyes sting, threatening tears. I quickly wiped them away and turned my head, smiling at him.
He noticed my wet eyes and grabbed my face, kissing me hard. "What's wrong Bella?" He pulled away and looked at me.
I smiled and rubbed the sting from my eyes. "Nothing. You're just too much sometimes." I laughed and touched his cheek. "Now how about some Rush Hour?" I leaped off the couch and ran to the huge movie shelf in the corner of the living room. After Romeo and Juliet, a comedy would be perfect.
The whole night continued in pretty much the same manner, only instead of crying because of what he was doing to me, we were laughing so hard it difficult to hold the tears back.
If only we could just spend every day just like this.
So?? Just a fun night for Bella and Edward. I figured they at least deserved that (= I also noticed a big mistake I made that no one pointed out.. I did two Edward POVs and didn't even realize it. No one said anything, so I guess you guys didn't mind more Edward (=
Also, going WAY against my original plans, I started another story. I haven't got many chapters written, but I'm thinking about posting the first chapter, see what you guys think, then go from there. Yeah?
And by the way, the part of Eclipse where they watch Romeo and Juliet was one of my favorite parts, so that's why I decided to kinda reenact it (=I thought it was cute ..
