Bell's POV
After returning to the Denali house, we bid her family to turn in for an early night. I heard the others agreeing that it would be best to spend time with their significant others as Tanya led me to her room upstairs. As soon as we made it into her room she handed me a pair of clothes to change into. I quickly changed into the offered sweat pants and tank top that my mate gave me. I turn around to see that Tanya has also finished changing. I gently grab her arm and lead her to bed. I jump on her bed that is now our bed and make myself comfortable while I listen to Tanya chuckling at my actions. She climbs into bed, and I open my arms, while giving her my puppy eyes. I know she has to be a leader, so I want to give her a chance to let all of her responsibilities fall away in my presence. I watch as her walls crack, and she shuffles into my waiting arms. We cuddle as I bask in the happiness that Tanya gives me.
It is such a wonderful feeling to hold my mate in my arms. After having such a horrible past, it's great to know there are people who care about me. I can't wait to spend the rest of eternity with Tanya and her family. I haven't really made contact with the others in the family, but I have time. In fact I have all the time in the world.
I wonder when the Cullens will leave. They seem content to stay around for a while. I do love them, but I fear their presence will soon become overbearing. I mean I knew them for a short while, so I'm not too attached to them. The position of cousins seems to be the best place for them in the family tree. We can't forget about the missing link in the Cullen chain. I have noticed that Edward has been gone for a long period of time and that worries me. What is he doing? Nothing good I assume. He is a selfish creature that would do anything to get what he so desires. His family may have been able to put up with his behavior for years, but I fear that may not be the case in the future.
Tanya turns around, so she is facing me. She brings her hand up to caress my face. I'm not sure if anyone has ever treated me so kindly in my life like Tanya is doing right now. I could die a happy woman right now, but I would never want to leave her. I can't imagine a life without Tanya.
"Hey, where has that mind of yours gone? I can feel you thinking. You know you can talk to me about anything, right? I'm always here for you," Tanya whispers to me, finally breaking me free of my thoughts. Ah, my lovely goddess speaks to me in such a gentle tone. I can feel the tension that my thoughts have caused leave as soon as I hear her beautiful voice.
"Just thinking of the future, mon amour. I can't wait to get to know your family, but there are things unknown that could disrupt our time spent together. Edward has basically disappeared, and I know for a fact that he is up to no good. There is also the worries of my forgotten memories. Perhaps Victoria can help me with that. More importantly is you. You just keep popping in head. My mind seems to be composed of you. Those pretty golden eyes of yours seem to entrap me whenever you look my way. I don't understand what I have done to deserve someone like you. I must have done something right in the past to receive a beautiful, caring, intelligent being such as yourself," I praise Tanya until she interrupts me with a kiss. I close my eyes to fully enjoy the feel of her lips on mine. This is my first kiss and with my mate no less. It feels magical, better than I could have ever dreamed it. I can feel the love that Tanya has for me through this kiss. This may be the best moment I have ever had.
Alas everything comes to an end. We separate and stare into each other's eyes. It seems we have declared a staring contest, one that I know I will not win. I am having a hard time trying to keep my eyes open, but she just looks at me, amused since she doesn't have to blink her eyes. I break the stare down we seem to be having and rub my eyes while I listen to Tanya giggle at my movements. That may not have been one of my best ideas, but it seems to have made my goddess happy. If she's happy then I'm happy. It's like the saying happy wife, happy life. Tanya is more important than a wife would ever be, but the meaning still applies to our situation. I suddenly yawn, and Tanya gets this determined look in her eyes. This can't be good.
"Well it looks like it is someone's bedtime. Don't worry, I'll be here to watch over you," Tanya teases me. While I give a glare for using my human needs against me, she uses her strength to switch our positions. I have apparently become the little spoon, but this position doesn't work. I can't see Tanya at all. I flip over to my other side and lay my head on Tanya's chest. It's much better than a pillow could ever be. I ignore the amused look Tanya gives me and head into my dream world.
A/N: Hey guys. Hope you don't mind the short chapter, but I felt that there hasn't really been much emotion shown in this story. I have o experience in the romance section, so I am terribly sorry if I just ruined it. All mistakes are mine. Hopefully after all of my exams are over this school year, I can focus more on writing. I had enough time to write this with my spring break finally coming. These are glorious days filled with sleeping in and spending time with my family! I also realized that this story has over 100 followers! I am super stoked about this, so I may write some more before I have to go back to school, even though I should be using this time to study. I'm thinking that I should start writing other stories, but I'm really unsure about it. if you guys have any ideas or suggestions feel free to review or PM me. Your comments are always helpful! That's about all I have, and I hope everyone has a lovely end of the week!
