I am so so so so so sorry this took so long. I had some writer's block, then our computer didn't have internet for awhile, then the computer broke down, then my poop of a brother had to use it for summer homework, and… it just goes on and on.

Thank you so much for reviewing. It's the thing that's keeping me writing this story. I'm very glad that my reviewers like it.

Chapter 3: Kisses

BPOV

I bit my lip anxiously as Alice drove up to the Cullen house. She wasn't telling me what was going on, only that I was in for a very BIG surprise. A few minutes ago, when Alice picked me up instead of Edward, I grew worried. What was wrong? Did something happen to him? Alice kept reassuring that everything was fine.

"Different, but fine," she had said.

"Different? What's that suppose to mean?" I had asked angrily.

But she just turned to look at me and smile, "You shall see."

So here we were in front of the Cullen house. I got out of the silver Volvo, walked to the front door, and went inside. I looked around nervously for Edward, but there was no sign of him.

"He's upstairs," Alice said.

"Thanks, Alice,"

I went up to Edward's room, knocked quietly, and then waited patiently for Edward to answer. Nothing happened. I knocked again, and still no answer. Getting frustrated, I knocked harder and finally heard my angel's voice.

"Bella?"

I smiled. "Yeah, it's me."

"Come in,"

I opened the door to see Edward standing, looking through his glass wall. I tentatively took a few steps towards him.

"Alice told me something happen to you," I heard him chuckle. "But she wouldn't tell me what it is."

He turned to face me with a nervous smile on his face. What was he nervous about? He slowly walked to me. So slowly that it looked like he was afraid to be near me.

"Edward, is something wrong?" I asked.

He chuckled again. "No my sweet. At least, I don't think so." He was getting closer and closer to me with every small step.

Okay, what was going on? "What do you mean?" I exasperated. "Just tell me what happened! God, I'm getting sick and tired of people not telling me things just because they think I can't handle stuff because…"

I didn't finish because Edward was close enough to me so I could really see his features. He looked… different. He still looked absolutely gorgeous, however, they was something different about him. It was like someone tuned down the lighting on him. His hair was a little darker and the way he walked looked like he was uncomfortable with the action.

He now stood right in front of me, his eyes looking into—wait a second! His eyes. They weren't the normal light honey color that they usually were. Nor were they black. His eyes were a very light hazel. More light brown than green. They held so many things in that exact moment: admiration, pride, excitement, anxiety, longing, and love.

He lifted his arms and cupped my face with his hands. I gasped. When he touches me I always expect his cold hands to cool down my already heated body. But instead of feeling cool, my face heated up even more. Heat was radiating from his hands to my cheeks.

That's strange, I thought.

I put my hands on his, which his were still on my face, and felt warmth spread through my fingers. I closed my eyes and soaked up the electricity that was energizing my body. How was he doing this? Usually his cold hands send that electric feeling, but the heat was unbelievable.

I then felt warm lips touch mine.

Oh. My. God.

It was the best kiss I've ever had. This kiss even topped Edward's previous kisses. As his sensual lips caressed mine, a light buzz vibrated throughout my body. Edward wrapped his strong protective arms around my back holding me as close to him as he could. That's when he opened my mouth with his tongue and entered. I was in ecstasy. I put my arms around his neck holding on to him tight; deepening the already passionate piece of heaven we were giving one and other. It didn't even occur to me that he was a vampire who could easily kill me. Not to mention he craved my blood above all others.

Not breaking our kiss, he pushed me against the wall. I felt a tiny, and I mean practically nothing, pain on my back, but that only intensified the ardor; which caused a moan to escape my mouth and in to his.

Edward flinched and then stiffened. He broke our kiss and looked in to my eyes. His now hazel eyes looked hot and heavy, like he just woke up from the best dream he ever had. He leaned forward and put his forehead against mine. His breathing was coming out raggedly, exhausted, content.

He sighed, "I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?"

Trying to catch my breath I said, "No, not at all"

Edward lifted his head from mine with the hugest smile.

"I pushed you against the wall as hard as I could," he said. "By accident of course," he added quickly.

"But…" I started. "But- but that didn't even hurt."

Edward nodded excitedly.

"But…" I started again. "But you have super human stre-"

He shook his head. "Not anymore."

I looked at him incredulously. "What?"

Edward took my hand and led me to his black leather couch. We sat down together and he took both of my hands into his. He looked down at our joined hands and gave a tight squeeze, then looked at me expectantly. When he saw no reaction he smiled again.

"Bella," he said scooting closer to me. Now he looked worried again. "Something happened to me, but before I tell you I just want to say that I love you so much. And that if you don't feel the same way afterwards…" He took in a deep breath with great difficulty. "I'll understand."

"Do you have some… gee, I don't know… vampire virus," I joked.

He laughed. "No,"

Fear ripped through me. "You're not leaving are you!"

"No," he said immediately. "No, of course not. Only when you want me to."

"Which is never," I said. The next part I said with as much love and passion I could muster. "I love you, Edward. No one else. Not now, not ever. Always."

Edward cupped my face with his hand, a look of total adoration on his face.

"God, I love you so much," he said.

Happy tears filled my eyes. Feeling a bit embarrassed, I tried to look away to hide them, but Edward caught my face again and looked at me intensely.

"Never be ashamed to hide your tears from me," he said quietly, stroking my cheek with his forefinger.

"Tell me what happened," I said now looking into his eyes. "What happened to your eyes? They almost look"

"Human?" Edward questioned.

I paused. "Yeah, they do. Why is that?"

Edward sighed and took my hands into his again.

Everyone together now: AWWW….. sigh true love how sweet. Again, sorry it took so long. But I hope everyone is happy. Please tell me what you think.
