Though Edward and I had been sleeping with each other over the past couple of days, it was so much different after sharing something so intimate. His arms were wrapped around me, securing me to his chest, as my head rested on his shoulder. I looked at the clock on his bedside table and saw that it was almost ten o'clock. I lightly sat up, trying not to wake him, as I planted kisses all over his face and chest.

"Good morning, Edward," I whispered against his skin. I could tell by his change in breathing that he was awake, but he was keeping his eyes shut. Since my kisses didn't wake him up, I had to try something else. I placed my hand on his chest and let it travel to the top of his leg. His breathing hitched as he grabbed my hand and pulled it above my head.

"Morning, love," he said as he hovered over me. He started kissing my neck and jaw, and before I could comprehend what was happening, we were repeating the events of last night. After we were finished, we decided it was time to get dressed.

I settled on some boy shorts that I had packed with me last night and one of Edward's t-shirts. As I was changing, I looked at Edward and couldn't help but smile. He was standing in just his boxers and was sitting at his desk in front of the window. The sun was hitting his skin in the most beautiful of ways, actually making look like sparkles were radiating off of him. He picked up a book that looked well worn and started reading. I walked behind him and draped my arms around his neck. I placed a kiss on his neck and started reading the page that was open. He was reading The White Company, and after a couple of seconds, he started to recite a paragraph.

"Then must you strive to be worthy of her love. Be brave and pure, fearless to the strong and humble to the weak; and so, whether this love prosper or no, you will have fitted yourself to be honored by a maiden's love, which is, in sooth, the highest guerdon which a true knight can hope for," he said sweetly.

"I love you, Edward," I told him.

"I love you too, my love," he told me before lightly placing a kiss on my lips. He stood up from his chair and grabbed my hand, leading me out of his room and what I hoped was the kitchen. I was starving.

Luckily for me, he led us into a huge kitchen. It was amazing. All of the counters were marble and he had an island in the middle. All of his appliances were ones of the finest brand names.

"It's all for show," he laughed, "I can't cook worth anything."

"I think it's beautiful," I said as I traced my hand over the counters. I absolutely loved to cook, and I hoped that Edward would keep me around long enough to let me cook for him.

"What would you like for breakfast?" he asked.

"I can cook, if you want," I offered.

"I may not be able to cook much, but my mother did teach me to make breakfast for the lady I love," he said.

"Okay then, whatever you make I'll eat," I replied.

"How about pancakes?" he questioned. That was exactly what I wanted, so I couldn't stop the huge smile that spread across my face. "I take that as a yes?" he joked.

I simply nodded in response as I watched him gather all of the ingredients and make our breakfast. As I was watching him, I was overwhelmed by all of the emotions that I felt towards him. I loved him with all I had to give, and even though that wasn't a lot, it was enough. The pieces of my heart were slowly mending, all thanks to him.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked me, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"You," I replied nonchalantly.

"Oh really? What about me?" he questioned as he placed two pancakes on a plate and gave it to me.

"That's for me to know," I teased. He could obviously tell that I wasn't going to say what it was, so he dropped the subject and came to sit next to me with his own plate of pancakes.

"Bella," he said softly. He placed his fork on his plate and grabbed my hand. I could tell whatever it was he was about to talk about was serious, so I immediately gave him all of my attention.

"Yes?" I questioned.

"I was wondering if maybe you . . . Maybe you wanted to move in with me," he told me shyly. I gently squeezed his hand leaned over the space between us to give him a kiss.

"I would love to Edward," I answered. I knew in my mind it was quite soon to be moving in with him, but I could tell that Alice and Jasper were getting more serious so he would probably be spending a lot of time at her house, and I felt safe staying with Edward.

"Thank you, love," he whispered before capturing my lips in a pancake flavored kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and molded my body to his. We fit together perfectly, and we were completely made for each other. We continued to kiss for a couple more minutes before Edward took me to his den. He placed a movie in the DVD player and sat next to me on the love seat. I curled into his side as we started watching Almost Famous. He was obviously paying attention when I told him this was one of my favorites. We were just at the bus scene where everyone started singing Tiny Dancer by Elton John when the doorbell was rung. Edward had made me breakfast, so I thought the least I could do was answer the door.

"I'll get it," I told him. I looked through the peephole and saw that nobody was there. Odd, I thought to myself. I opened the door anyways, just to see if they had left something on the porch. I looked around and saw nothing, and I was about to shut the door when I saw a note taped on it. My breathing stopped when I saw that it was addressed to me.

Bella,

Again you hurt me. When will you learn? The more I am hurt, the more you will hurt.

You know who.

I could hear Edward calling for me, asking who was there, but I couldn't find the words to answer him. I was so scared I couldn't move. James had found me, in the place that I felt safe, and once again made his intentions clear.

A/N: I know that this is a short chapter, but that's because I thought that I should post one last time before the weekened comes. I'm not sure when I'll be posting again.

I also wanted to talk about something that was brought to my attention as controversial. I was discussing this story with my friend and she was talking about how the whole sex before marriage thing could stir some emotions with people who don't believe in that. I'm sorry if this offends anyone who has read that scene, but I don't ever want to get married, so I believe in sex before marriage. Once again, I'm sorry if this offends anyone. That was not my intention when I wrote it.

Anywho, thank you again for all my fabulous reviews! Please keep it up. :D
