It didn't take long for Iris and Edward to find sleep that night. Both of them glowing with happiness as they dreamt of what may and what could happen in the future to come. When the sun rose, it's soft rays coming through Iris's thin curtains, the warmth that it made touched Iris's pale skin. Since she is a light sleeper, the change in temperature woke her up instantly. Straining her ears to hear any movement, Iris smiled when she found that she was the only one awake. For now anyway. Memories of the night before flooded her thoughts and brought with it a warm smile to her already smiling face. What happened last night was a bit fast, but she didn't think of it as a mistake. It was just another step up in her relationship with the sweet Edward. With her Edward. 'My Edward,' she thought with joy, 'I like the sound of that.' Iris slipped silently from her warm covers, just like she used to years ago, and quickly pulled out clothes from a chest of drawers for the day. With her skilled fingers, she found a pair of blue jeans and a halter-top to match. Even though she couldn't see the colors of the top, she knew any color matched blue jeans, so it didn't matter. 'I'll just ask Edward later,' she thought. Slipping the clothes on with a little difficulty, an idea popped into her head. Iris grabbed her radio from where she remembered laying it and placed it on the bed.

"It's been too long my friend," she exclaimed over-dramatically to her radio.

Running her hand over the buttons, she pressed the On button and her favorite song came flooding in. She swayed as the piano at the beginning of the song played, the music floating through the room and escaping under the door.

I put my hope in you

I leave my life in the palm of your hand

I'm constantly drawn to you oh Lord

In ways cannot comprehend

More instruments began to play, making Iris sway and dance around her room.

It's the Creator calling the created

The Maker beckoning the made

The bride finding what she's always waited for

When we find ourselves that day

Soon the chorus was blasting through the small radio's speakers, Iris singing along with it.

In you; where the hungry feast at the table

The blind frozen by colors in view

The lame will dance; they'll dance for they are able

And the weary find rest; oh the weary find rest in you

Iris kept on singing, her sugar sweet voice also escaping under the door and filling the castle.

It's no secret that we don't belong here

Though set apart by the grace of you

We look for the day when we go to a place

Where the old becomes brand new

As Iris began to sing the chorus again, Edward's ears began to pick up the soothing and upbeat melody. He slowly got up from his shredded bed in the fireplace, stretching his limbs as he went. Curios, Edward stood and walked toward the sounds, finding his way to Iris' room in no time. Creaking the door open, his eyes widened as he saw Iris dancing around her room to music, coming from some unknown place when he didn't see the radio propped on the bed. He watched as Iris repeat the chorus to the song.

In you; where hungry feast at the table

The blind frozen by colors in view

The lame will dance; they'll dance for they are able

And the weary find rest, oh we will find rest in you

Iris knew Edward was there, but she danced and sang without a care. Her voice flew the air, reaching out for Edward's soul. Edward didn't fight it. He stepped forward nervously, feeling a bit awkward. Iris heard his uneasy step and moved toward it as she danced. Edward stepped again, feeling less nervous, helping Iris find him easily as he did. Humming the words now, Iris rapped her arms arounf Edward's waist as she smiled up to where she knew his face was. Edward smiled back and, awkwardly, rapped his own arms around her small frame. Iris swayed, her body making Edward copy the motion.

"Good morning," he whispered in his shy tone.

Iris rested her head on his shoulder. Edward rested his own head on hers in return, his black mass of hair tumbling onto Iris's, making it hard to tell who's was who's as they seemed to blend.

"Good morning, Edward."

She felt safe in his arms, just as Edward felt truly loved. Without realizing, the events of last night slipped through his mind, making him tense a little.

"I'm sorry," his shy voice thread with sadness. As if to read his mind, Iris just smiled as she titled her head up to him.

"I'm not."

Those two words brought a wide grin of joy spread on his face. They were quiet for a while, just holding each other in bliss, when Edward broke the comfortable silence.

"What was that song called?"

Iris jolted back to the present. She hadn't realized that the song had ended and that they were now rocking to commercials. 'I guess time flies when yer havin fun!' she thought happily. Then she remembered his question.

"Oh! It's called All because of this, by the band Mercy Me. It's my favorite," she whispered the last part, feeling a little shy at their closeness now. Edward also remembered this bit of information and they both stepped away from each other at the same time. Laughing nervously, Edward and Iris began their nervous habits. Edward, with his snipping scissors, and Iris, with her hands running through her hair. Edward was, again, the one who broke the awkward silence.

"Do you want to do something today?"

Iris's nervousness evaporated as she smiled, remembering her and Kim's plans for the day. She recalled how Kim wanted to go shopping together and that it would give the "Boys" sometime to get to know each other. Iris let her arms fall to her sides and positioned them at her hips.

"Well actually, me and Kim are goin shopping! Seth's gonna come over and help work around the house! …er mansion," she laughed. Edward smiled at her.

"Okay," he said softly, still smiling at Iris as she made her way to the radio and flicked it off.

I hope that'll hold ye over fer a wittle, mates!! I'll nag me other mates ta give me more ideas fer this fic. lol. More WILL be comin! Me PROMISE!!!
