Reasoning
"Edward?" I had asked.
"Yes Bella?" He responded in a normal voice with no emotion in it at all. He then softly placed me back onto the ground to examine me.
"What are you doing here? How did you know I was here?"
"I needed to talk to you." I couldn't understand how he could say all this like nothing had happened what so ever. Not to long ago was the biggest fight the two of us had ever gotten in to and there he was just standing there. Making me really upset. I don't know why I was mad right now, but I know I had a good reason to be if I were really mad at him. I cried myself to tears just last night because I hadn't heard from my boyfriend in so long. I was beginning to think that I had just made everything about him up.
"You wanted to talk to me, then why didn't you just pick up your phone when I called you 60 million times yesterday!"
"One Bella, you only called me about 40 times, and two I was a little busy at the time. And besides, do you think I could possibly EVER forget your scent? Come on Love, give me more credit than that." I made the mistake that I always seem to make by looking up into his big, bright, beautiful topaz eyes. When I did, I melted. He had that look like the world could be falling apart around him and all that he would care about is me. I couldn't take it anymore. I walked over to him and put my head down on his stone chest. As I did so he wrapped his arms around me, and nuzzled his head against my shoulder.
"Why did you go then?" I asked even though I was pretty sure I already knew the answer.
"If I didn't go I knew that I would give in to what you wanted, and I didn't want to be wrong for once. I can't just take everything that you have away from you. I can't condemn you to an eternity of being a wannabe human! Being a vampire is just against the laws of nature! And besides, I love you too much to do that to you."
"But if you love me wouldn't you want to spend eternity with me?" I asked this is a small timid voice trying not to upset him again because I didn't think I could survive another day without him.
"Ok. Bella, Alice had a…" he looked up at the people walking in and out of the mall who could very easily hear us. "A feeling, so I don't think that I'll be betting against her much longer." He said the last part in a slight upset voice. I turned around to see Travis standing there wondering what was going on.
"Bella, who is this? And who in the world do you think you are punk!" He asked"What! Who in the world do you think you are?" Edward tried to take a step forward but I quickly placed my hand onto his hard chest. I was sure right there and then Edward would have torn Travis into shreds for what he had just done to me in the movie theater.
"I told you about him. This is Edward. You know my BOYFRIEND from Washington. Does that ring a bell… at all?" He seemed to struggle on what to say. He took a deep breath in and tried to relax. But then something happened that none of us expected. A girl ran up from behind Edward and me and jumped into Travis's arms and kissed him fully on the lips. As I looked over at Edward I saw how deeply he was staring at Travis. I could see the hatred and I knew that we needed to leave.
"CINDY! You're back!" He started to twirl her around and kissed a tall skinny blonde girl. I just gawked and Edward chuckled under his breath.
"Maybe I should have made an entrance like that. I would have loved to see you have react like that."
"Probably, but then I would have feinted. And then I would have yelled at you for making me feint and then I'd yell at you for leaving me to be alone for FOREVER!"
"Bella, I could never leave you alone for any period of time. For the past week and a half, I've been following you everywhere you went. Now that I think about it that does sound pretty stalkerish if you ask me." He admitted.
"Oh, so you just decided you didn't want to do anything when I cried my heart out countless times! Or that you just decided you wanted to be with me since I went out with another guy as FRIENDS? HOW RUDE COULD YOU BE?" I yelled this a lot louder than I originally had planned. His response was well, amazing. He scooped me up into his arms and kissed me like he's never kissed me before. It surprised me at first and there WERE stars and stripes everywhere. But after I got over the shock I kissed him back. Normally when I do, he pulls back, it being too much for him. But today, no not today, he went head on.
When he finally pulled back, I could only say three little words that seemed to do magic. "I love you."
"I know. I love you too." When he said this he leaned in and kissed me again, but gently this time. We better get you back home before your mom gets back from work." I nodded and turned around to face Travis.
"Travis! I'm going home with Edward, I don't need a ride home or anything from you!"
"Whatever." came his muffled voice behind Cindy's lips. I grabbed Edward's hand and he led me to his car. He opened the door for me and then got in himself. Starting his car, he grabbed my hand and kissed it. That's when it dawned on me. He said that he wasn't going to bet against Alice for much longer. That means he is going to change me!
"Edward?" I loved saying his name now that I knew that everything was right between us again.
"Yes Love?" he answered.
"When you said you weren't going to bet against Alice for much longer, does that mean you're going to change me?"
"I don't know Bella. Alice has seen a lot of things involving you. Some you were changed, some you weren't. But the ones that you weren't, you were dead, and I was miserable. If I were to change you Bella, you'd have to be sure that this is what you wanted; for eternity.
"I already know that is what I want. I want to be with you, forever. No matter what happens, what I'm giving up or no matter how much pain, I'm willing to go through it, just to be with you. I love you Edward."
"I love you too Bella, but I don't think I'm ready to do that to you. But if I change my mind, and you can talk to Alice about changing my mind, you'll be the first one to know. I promise. Why are you smiling like that? Are you ok? You're crying." That's when I realized that I was smiling like an idiot and that I was so happy that I started to cry.
"I'm ok! I just always wanted you to consider it. But now you're actually really thinking about it!" I looked out the window to see that we were at my mom's house. I looked at the sky to see that it was a perfectly sunny day too.
"Edward, if you don't mind me asking, how are you here I mean, how are you outside? It's a beautiful day." My question made no sense but he would understand it.
"Bella, how many times do I have to tell you that I'd do anything for you?" He climbed out of his seat and raced over to open my door even before I realized that he had left the car, he must be trying to set records for himself; that's the only explanation. He helped me out of the car, and looked in my driveway to see my mom's car.
"Time to meet the mother again" he said.
"Schnikes! She's going to kill me! I complained.
"Don't worry Bella, I won't let that happen." He reassured me by taking my hand in his again and walking confidently towards the door. After realizing that I didn't want to go in, he nudged me, giving me no choice. I opened the door fearing the worst."Mom! I'm home!" I heard footsteps running down the beautiful stairs."ISABELLA SWAN DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN! You had me so worried, I didn't know where you were, you didn't call me OR Phil, and you didn't leave a note what were you thinking?" She said in a tone that wasn't quite yelling. After her frantic worrying, she noticed Edward."Oh, Edward, what are you doing here?" She said this WAY too over protectively.
"I'm here to talk to Bella about our problems and confront them. Hopefully without Bella breaking anymore of her bones." Gesturing the leg that once held a cast from the James Incident."Oh, well as long as you work things through." Sometimes my mom could be so simple.
"We already did." I interjected.
"Well good. So Edward, how would you like to stay the rest of the summer with us?"
"What?" I goggled. Could she really mean that? I would love to have Edward stay for the summer. But sometimes he would have to hunt, and how bout when he didn't sleep or eat, or maybe when he caused traffic jams by walking down the street!
"Sure. Why not?" He answered this in a voice that sounded like there were no problems to be had in the universe. "I would have to call... My dad first though.""No problem," My mom said. "Let me handle it." He wrote down the number of Carlisle's cell phone number, and if he didn't pick up, the hospital number, asking at the same time to talk to him after Renee. After she left to go call him, Edward faced me, taking my hands.
"Edward," I whispered, "you know you can't stay! You have to hunt, you won't eat or sleep, and you'll cause traffic accidents by walking outside." "Don't worry" he said "everything will work out." Then he kissed me again, for the 3rd time that day. 'Yes!' I thought 'the Bella and Edward Summer of Love is back on!'
