Chapter 37 – What I've Wanted
Bella's Point of View
I awoke to find myself surrounded by warmth. I looked over my shoulder and found Edward staring at me.
"Good morning…or afternoon, either one." Edward chuckled and brushed a stray strand of hair from my face.
"Good afternoon to you too." Edward kissed me on the lips quickly. "Shall we go get something to eat?" Edward asked. I nodded and got up. I grabbed a robe and wrapped myself in it. I looked out the window and had a perfect view of the Eiffel tower. I continued to stare at the Eiffel tower and Edward came and wrapped his arms around my waist. "What are you staring at so intently, love?" Edward asked as he kissed my cheek.
"The Eiffel tower. It's beautiful." Edward snickered.
"I thought you'd like Paris, we're here for a week and then we're off to England." I turned in his arms.
"Really?" A huge smile was planted across my face.
"Yes, really and then we go to Ireland."
"You spoil me too much." Edward scoffed.
"That's like saying I love you too much." I smiled.
"I honestly don't know why you love me so much." Edward shook his head.
"Let's go eat." He grabbed my hand and we walked out to the room into the mini kitchen they had in the hotel room.

We toured Paris and shopped and did little one-day trips to nearby towns. I must admit, Edward was a major romantic, we were now heading for England and I was ecstatic! I loved England, Ireland and Paris. Did I mention Edward was fluent in French? I didn't know until this trip!! Edward was in the kitchen of the hotel room getting some food while I stood on the balcony. The scenery just made me feel like I wanted to sing, so I did.
All beauty all fade away, borrowed
All moonlight, return today, borrowed
All sunrise all shooting stars, borrowed
All earth bound bare feet in day
you know we're standing on
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
All heartache all rivers cried, borrowed
Don't stay out too late tonight, borrowed
I love you don't wanna die, borrowed
You taste like paradise, I know I'm breathing in
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
You gave me life and I will give it back
But before I do, I'm gonna hold it tight
This is my prayer
All body, All skin all bone, borrowed
All silky, all smooth and warm, borrowed
All pleasure, all pain are one, borrowed
Almighty I stand alone
I know I'm living in
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Edward joined me on the balcony and wrapped his arms around me and began to kiss my neck, after placing the food on the bedside table inside.
"I love hearing you sing." Edward whispered against my neck.
"Maybe you'll hear it more often now." I turned in his arms and ran my rose against his in an Eskimo kiss. Edward kissed me quickly before we headed back inside and I turned on the radio.
"And here's a new song from Isabella Swan. It's called, Baby be Brave." I froze in the middle of the room. I remmebred recording the song, but what the hell was it doing on the radio now?!
Maybe deep down inside, you don't believe it
Your wailing wall, it isn't weeping at all
And you're not worthy of adoration
You're scared that somebody somewhere's gonna find
the burst pipe
And as fast as they bow down they'll leave you behind
But baby be brave
'Cause what's the point of it all
What's the point of it all, yeah
Baby, don't blow it
Tell me what's it all for
If you're not terrified to fail
Are you terrified to fail
Way far down below you don't feel it
Yeah, everyone knows but we don't believe it
The pain of a pop star, you're breaking my heart
But baby be brave
'Cause what's the point of it all
What's the point of it all, yeah
Baby, don't blow it
Tell me what's it all for
If you're not terrified to fail
(Confide in me, tell your story)
Are you terrified to fail
(It's your fear that makes you worthy)
I know what you're doing 'Cause
God I've been tempted You are
Drowning the special To
immortalize the rise
And what's the point of it all
But baby be brave
'Cause what's the point of it all
What's the point of it all, yeah
Baby, don't blow it
Tell me what's it all for
If you're not terrified to fail
(Confide in me, tell your story)
Are you terrified to fail
(It's your fear that makes you worthy)
I am terrified to fail
(Confide in me, tell your story)
Are you terrified to fail
(It's your fear that makes you worthy)
"Bella?" I turned to see a stunned Edward sitting on the couch in the room.
"Yeah?"
"When did you write that?" Edward asked.
"Um…not long ago…before we were married."
"That was amazing. When did you record it?"
"Not long before we were married." Edward shook his head and smiled at me.
"You're full of surprises, love." I chuckled.
"That was Isabella's latest song after her split from her Australian group eight years ago, this new song reached ten on the top twenty charts. Here's another new entry to the charts from Edward Cullen."
If the fish swam out of the ocean
and grew legs and they started walking
and the apes climbed down from the trees
and grew tall and they started talking
and the stars fell out of the sky
and my tears rolled into the ocean
now i'm looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion
'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold
i looked up into the grey sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black
i feel a way of something beyond them
i don't see what i can feel
if vision is the only validation
then most of my life isn't real
'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold
I looked at Edward with wide eyes.
"Looks like you're always surprisng me." I told him. Edward blushed a little…wait a minute, Edward blushed? "You beat me on the charts." I sulked. I pouted at Edward and he came over and kissed me gently.
"That doesn't matter, my love, as long as we're together and we know that we lvoe each other…that's all that matters to me." Edward kissed me once more and then a thought hit me in the head like a bowling ball.
"I just got an idea!" I told Edward as I pulled away.
"What's that?" Edward asked as he rested his forehead against mine. I then had second thoughts.
"Never mind, it's silly." I said quickly. Edward groaned.
"Bella, please tell me." I shook my head. "Do you know how frustrating it is being unable to get into that beautiful mind of yours?" Edward ran his nose agasint mine. "Please, tell me. I don't care if it's silly." I sighed.
"I was thinking we could start singing together as a band…" I looked at Edward and saw that he was thinking about it.
"I think that's a great idea." He finally said.
"Really?"
"Of course. I could play piano and we could sing together."
"Great. I'll start writing something then." I gave Edward a quick kiss and walked away from him and out the room. I smiled as I heard Edward groan and run after me. He took my plate awaty from me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"You don't have to start right now, you know." Edward stated. I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Oh? And what should I do instead?" I asked Edward.
"This." Edward stated and he bent down and kissed me passionately.
A/N: Okay...the songs in this chapter were 'Borrowed Heaven' by the Corrs and 'Baby Be Brave' also by the Corrs and then there was 'Black and Gold' by Sam Sparro.
