That´s What Little Girls Are Made Of...

Chapter Seventy-Seven

BPOV

"Hey, Izzy," Edward called from the kitchen, pulling me from my thoughts.

I scrambled off the couch and padded across the room where he was. "Yeah?"

Pulling random items from several grocery bags, and placing them on the counter, Edward looked up at me when I approached.

The smile he gave me was blinding.

This was definitely one of our good days.

"I got everything you put on the list." he said, opening the fridge and placing a few cold items on the shelf. "Oh, and Rose called. She said that she and Alice would be here at around eight-thirty." Coming to stand directly in front of me, he tucked a fallen strand of hair behind my ear. "You think you´ll be all right until then? I could hang around and catch up with the guys later, if you don´t want to wait alone?"

I melted.

God, he could be so damn sweet sometimes.

It almost made me forget how much of a jerk he´s been this week.

Wrapping my arms around his waist I squeezed. "I love you, Edward," I said into his chest. "I know I´ve been a brat lately, but I´m really glad I´m here."

Squeezing me back, he tucked my head under his chin and sighed. "Me too, Iz, I´m glad you´re here too, Baby Girl. I won´t apologize for being a jerk, because it´s my job to take care of you, but I will try to ease up a bit." Giving me a kiss on the top of my head, he continued to speak. "You´ve never given me reason not to trust you, so, I promise not to have the GPS tracking device I put in your phone activated."

What?

Pulling back, I poked him in the chest. "You ass! You had a GPS tracking device put in my phone. Un-fucking-believable, Edward! Just when I thought I was the one overreacting!" Putting my hands on my hips I glared at the sexy bastard standing in front of me. "You are such a fucking dick, Cullen!" Tears pricked the back of my eyelids, but I refused to cry in front of him. That would have been the opposite of helpful in my quest to show him how mature I was.

Snatching my phone out my pocket, I hit the number two, and broke down when I was once again listening to Esme´s voicemail. "Damn it! Why won´t you call me, Esme!" I screamed into the phone.

As they say, that was the straw that broke the camel´s back.

In a matter of seconds, I was a blubbering mess.

Strong arms pulled me up, and Edward gently lowered me into his lap. Cradling me to his chest, Edward whispered softly in my ear. "It´s okay, Izzy, we´ll hear from them soon. I promise." He rocked me back a forth in a soothing manner, helping to ebb my tears.

"What if something bad has happened? What if they´re hurt, and need help? What if they´re all alone? What if they need us, Edward?" I sniffled, working myself up again.

"Shh...Little One," Edward cooed softly, stroking my back. "If we haven´t heard anything by Monday, I´ll call Uncle Aro. Es would never miss my birthday. They´ll call, you´ll see." From the way his voice waivered on the end, I didn´t know whom he was trying to convince, him or me.

Fisting the back of his shirt, I clung to him, and prayed that he would be able to keep his promise.

I prayed that I wouldn´t lose another set of parents.

I prayed that Edward and I wouldn´t be left alone.

Eventually, I was able to convince Edward to go meet his friends, and I was able to busy myself with preparing dinner for the girls.


Good night! Hope to wake to lots of good reviews tomorrow! Leave me some love!

Hasta Máñana...
