Chapter 13

"Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top"-Virginia Wolf

Bella's POV

I tried to snuggle as close as I could to Edward without waking him. I needed to be closer in order to hear what he was saying. I did feel kind of bad about doing this…like I was eavesdropping…like I was invading his privacy, but I was curious…so very very curious. "He'd never know" I reasoned with myself.

Edward hadn't spoken for awhile now. I was beginning to think I had lost my opportunity to hear some of his deepest secretes, fantasies, or worries. It felt like hours had passed before I decided to give up on his sleep talking and go to sleep myself. Just as I was pushing myself away from Edward and about to lie my head down on my pillow he was speaking again. This time he was much clearer to understand. Apparently he was having a conversation.

"Bella….mhmmm. I loooooovvvvvveeeee her Em" he cooed like a little kid. I laughed. "What the heck was that?" I thought to myself. He sounded about four.

"She's pretty isn't she?" he hummed

"I know. But remember she's all mine!" he giggled. Actually giggled. I was pretty sure he was having a conversation with Emmett. Whether he had already had this conversation or not was a mystery to me. Edward kept on talking.

"I really really love her Emmett. Like how you love Rose…" he said in a fainter voice this time.

"I want what you and Rose have…". He was practically whispering now. I couldn't believe he was saying all these wonderful things about me. I adored him so much at that moment but my lovely thoughts were once again interrupted by his sleep talking.

"Yeah I'm going to marry her one day and we're going to have a big family" he smiled while he spoke. "I wonder if having twins does run in families. I'm going to look that up when I'm at Harvard!". He seemed so excited. Then he seemed to become serious.

"No Emmett we haven't…" he said

"Not until Bella is ready…" he added

"I want to but we're waiting". Oh God. They were talking about sex. "Emmett always does this! Ugh!" I said quietly. Edward squirmed a bit. "Shit" I thought "I've woken him up". Edward didn't wake however just carried on his conversation.

"When the time is right…" he insisted

"Soon hopefully" he said with a grin appearing on his face again. He wanted to have sex soon is what I assumed he meant by that. It was hard to understand what was happing since I couldn't hear Emmett's side of the conversation.

"Emmett you have no idea how horny she makes me. It's driving me insane! I don't know what to do!"

"I already do that you idiot! It doesn't really help all that much. But I meant about Bella. I want her…I NEED her" he exclaimed. I was nearly peeing my pants from laughing so hard to myself. I knew for sure they were talking about masturbating and I couldn't help it. "How can they be talking about this seriously?" I wondered. I couldn't stop the laughter and eventually I just exploded into a hysterical fit. My laughs were so loud they echoed in suite. Edward shot up straight in the bed.

"What the hell is going on with you?" he asked while he watched me dying of laughter.

"I…I…you" I managed to blurt out in between my laughs.

"Me? Why am I so funny? It's 2:00am Bella" he said with a serious face. His glasses were crooked on his face and his eyes were all puffy. I managed to calm down a bit and stop laughing. On the inside though I still thought this was hilarious.

"It's nothing Edward. Really…" I ensured him.

"You laughing for no apparent reason is nothing?" he said

"Well there was a reason…" I said playfully.

"Enlighten me then Bella" he insisted. I could tell he was aggravated and tired.

"Fine…you were talking in your sleep…that's all" I blurted out. Edward looked at me stunned. Fear was in his eyes.

"I was talking in my sleep?" he asked me and I nodded.

"About what?" he said and looked away from me. He must already have known what he was saying. He was dreaming it after all.

"Oh you know…normal stuff. You said you loved me and that I was pretty" I said cheerfully.

"That's all?" he asked all too quickly.

'Well...no" was my response. "You said you were going to marry me and have a family. You want us to be like Rose and Emmett. I think that's sweet" I said trying to avoid telling him what else I heard. Edward continued to stare at me. I knew he was embarrassed but he would never let it show. He didn't want me to know about the whole getting married in the future thing I figured.

"What else did I say?" he pushed

"Nothing" I insisted trying not to laugh.

"Are you sure?"

"Uh…yeah" I said. He just looked at me like he didn't believe me.

"Okay. Good." he said. "We should probably get back to sleep then. We have a big day tomorrow" he leaned in to kiss my cheek and then wrapped himself in the covers and began to turn away from me. His head soon hit the pillow but I couldn't help but poke fun at him.

"Edward?" I asked and he grunted to acknowledge that he knew I was still talking.

"I just wanted to know how horny I actually make you" I spat out in a fit of giggles. I heard him groan. He flipped over to face me. He didn't look happy at all.

"So much for letting me know everything I said in my sleep Bells…" he said trying to avoid the question. I wasn't going to let him off that easy.

"How horny Edward?" I asked again. He sighed.

"Very Bella…very horny. Is that all now?" he asked. I laughed. He was so embarrassed.

"No need to be embarrassed sweetie!" I chuckled. "That's normal!" I ensured him. He just glared at me for a few moments and then turned over to go back to sleep. I think I really hit a nerve with him. It wasn't my fault though! He was talking in his sleep. How could I have prevented that? I wasn't done joshing him just yet though.

"I guess it's good that you masturbate then. I'd hate to see what all that built up sexual tension does to you…" I said beginning to laugh again. Before I could even finish my sentence Edward had jumped out of bed and flicked the lights on. He stood at the foot of my bed.

"Are you just about finished?" he said in an angry voice. I nodded.

"Oh Edward! Lighten up would you? I was just kidding around. It's not my fault you talk in your sleep!" I said trying to justify why I had done this. Edward didn't speak.

"It was kind of funny. You have to admit that Edward! Don't be mad at me and don't be embarrassed. That's totally normal…" I said. All of a sudden Edward was laughing.

"I CANNOT believe I was saying those things in my sleep. I sound like a dirt bag" he said while he continued to laugh. "I'm not mad at you Bella…I just wish you hadn't heard most of that…"

"Well it's a tad bit too late now isn't it pretty boy?" I said while I motioned for him to get back into bed. He flicked the light off and joined me.

"I do have one question to ask you though and then this will be out of sight and out of mind okay?"

"Fine Bella…go ahead" Edward said with a smile.

"Do you and Emmett always have talks like that?" I asked. Edward chuckled.

"Unfortunately yes. I don't necessarily want to all the time but you know Emmett…he loves sex! He's the only person I can really talk to about how I feel sometimes. Guy stuff you know? It's hard keeping my hands off you Bella…" he spoke very slowly. I understood where he was coming from. I was depriving him of an important part of any serious relationship.

"I know…" I whispered and moved into kiss him. It was a passionate kiss but a brief one. I knew Edward was exhausted and I was starting to feel even more tired myself.

"We should sleep now don't you think?" I asked him.

"Yes we should" he answered and pulled me close into his chest. He was warm and smelt so good. I felt comfortable.

"I love you Edward Cullen" I said

"And I love you more Isabella Swan" he added as he squeezed me closer to him.

"And Edward?" I asked

"Yes Bella…" he said hoarsely

"I also love how you look in those glasses…" I said as I drifted off to sleep in his arms.
