Chapter 53
Edwards POV
I was just getting ready to head towards my bedroom for the night when Alice called me. I glanced at the clock, and it said it was almost 1am. What in the world has happened that Alice would be calling me at this time?
"Alice what's so important that it could not wait until morning?" I asked her trying to sound annoyed at her.
"Edward you know that I wouldn't be calling you if it wasn't very important," She stated back to me.
"Ok, what's up?" I asked her.
"Bella that's what?" She said.
"Alice nothing bad has happened to my Bella, if there has you better tell me exactly what it is," I said almost yelling at her.
"Bella's fine physically. She was crying when I got home. She doesn't think she is good enough for you with your back ground of being a player in all." She said.
"What did you tell her?" I questioned her, as I knew she would have said something to Bella.
"I told her that you loved her, and that she was good enough for you. That you just don't want to push her into something she is not ready for." She said.
"What time is Jasper picking her up in the morning I will make sure I am there long before that?" I told her, as I hung up the phone to do some thinking about how I was going to handle this.
I thought about Bella for the next couple of hours before falling asleep. I got up, showered and headed towards Bella and Alice's place. I stopped at a Starbucks and picked up her favorite coffee. I found her still asleep on the couch. Alice had not told me that she was sleeping on the couch. She was still in the suit, she had worn to work yesterday. I sat in the chair and just watched her sleep. She was so beautiful, and I know that I would never grow tiered of watching her sleep. This was truly the woman, I want to spend the rest of my life with.
She started to stir, and I stayed as still as possible. When she rolled over and opened her eyes, she was looking straight at me.
"I thought since you wouldn't be at work today with me that I would bring you your coffee before you head to Jaspers office he should be here in a bit to pick you up. I told her.
She then excused herself to go take a shower and get dressed for her day. When she came out, I meet her in the hallway by the doorway to the kitchen. I just had to tell her why I leave when I leave.
"Bella, I want to take this slow and make sure everything is perfect for you. Not pushing you into something just because of my past," I told her.
"I am just scared that I'll not be enough for you," She stated almost in tears.
"Bella, having you is enough for me," I told her with a big smile on my face.
Just then Jasper showed up to take her to his office, so they could get to work on her case. I kissed her not wanting to let her go, but knew that I had to. Then they headed out, my soon to be brother-in-law and the woman I want to make my wife.
