Chapter Thirty-Seven
EPOV
Glad for the alone time with my girl, we headed over to the local diner and to share a strawberry sundae. Half the student body of Forks High must have had the same idea, because just about every table was filled with teenagers dressed in some sort of formal attire.
As soon as Bella and I were seated, the vultures started to descend!
Unfazed, by the whispers and stares of her classmates, Bella only had eyes for me. We talked and laughed, as she filled me in on all the gossip of Forks, and, just like always, everything else melted away.
We were in our own little bubble.
No one dared to enter or disturb us!
By the time we got home, Bella was dead on her feet. Esme was waiting at the door to whisk my girl away, and help her remove her dress and make-up for bed. Watching them ascend the stairs, I rubbed the ache, of seeing her walk away, from my chest.
"I know how you feel," Carlisle said from behind me. Looking back at my father, I waited for him to explain. "After all these years, it´s like a piece of me is gone each time I watch Esme leave my side." Turning fully, I saw nothing but love and compassion in my father/brother-in-law´s clear blue eyes. "You make her happy, Edward, and that´s all that matters. Trust me son, your patience will pay off in the long run. When the time is right, you´ll be exactly what she needs."
The atmosphere had shifted with the heaviness of his admission, but words were no longer necessary, I could feel the love and support radiating off of my hero in waves. Carlisle and Es had always guided me in a quiet manner, allowing me the room I needed to make, and learn from my own mistakes.
Clapping me on the back, Carlisle brought me out of my stupor. Nodding toward the stairs, Carlisle said, "I bet your dead on you're feet, Edward, let´s go get some sleep!"
You´re getting two because I dropped the ball and didn´t do this earlier. Waking up out of a deep sleep should count for sumthin, and my inbox should be flooded with reviews in the morning! Love you guys...hit the review button! Please!
Hasta mañana peeps!
