Great day

EPOV

"Bella," I whispered, "It's alright. I will never let anyone hurt you." I clenched my fists. How could someone ever do that to such a pure girl. This boy made me want to tear and rip him apart.

She cried as I cradled her in my arms. I hated seeing her like this; broken and fragile. It broke my heart. I lifted her chin, her brown orbs meeting my green ones.

"Bella you deserve so much more. I don't like seeing you like this." I brushed some of her hair back as she calmed down.

"I've never told anyone. I was scared to tell you because I was afraid that you would leave me." Her eyes looked everywhere but at me. I placed my hands on either side of her face.

"Isabella." She looked up at me through her thick lashes. "I will not leave you. I'm not going anywhere." Then I leaned down and kissed her against my car. Her lips were gentle and soft. I felt her hands wind themselves into my hair. My mind was started to get foggy. Kissing her was the most amazing feeling. Having her wrapped in my arms knowing that I would never have to let go made my heart soar. I pulled back so that she could breathe. She looked at me blinking out her last few tears and laid her head on my chest. This was bliss. I could stand here forever and I would be perfectly content, holding an angel in my arms.

We held hands on the way back to Forks.

"Bella." I stuttered as she looked over.

"Yes Edward?"

"Would you like to be my girlfriend ?" I took a deep breath waiting for her response.

"More than anything." She squeezed my hand. By now we were parked in my driveway. I got out of the car and walked over to her side to open the door. I offered my hand and helped her out of the car before walking her over to her front door.

"I had a really nice time tonight Edward. Thank you."

"I did too Bella. You must be tired though so I'll let you get to bed. See you tomorrow." I let go of her hand and she leaned forward and kissed me. I turned around and walked to my house grinning like a fool.

I closed the front door quietly behind me since most of the lights were off I figured everyone had gone to bed. I walked into the kitchen to get a drink and was greeted by my mother.

"So how did it go ?" she put her book down and looked at me excitedly waiting for me to answer.

"Really well actually, we had fun. We're gunna be in the Seattle times, they took our picture." I smiled to myself as I remembered that moment

"I'm glad you had fun son. But you should get some rest. You have rehearsal tomorrow." I nodded and lazily pulled myself to the stairs and up to my room. I looked out my window and saw that Bella's curtains had been drawn and that she must have been asleep already. I can't believe she said yes. That one word made me the happiest man on earth, knowing that I get to wake up knowing that I get to call her mine, hold her hand whenever I want to, kiss her whenever I want to! It was a dream come true. As I fell into a dreamless sleep I couldn't help but think about what I ever did to deserve such a beautiful creature like Bella Hale.

I woke up the next morning feeling great even though I had to go to school on a sunday. I rolled out of bed and walked over to my window pulling my curtains back. I was greeted by bird singing and the sun shining in through my window. I looked across and saw Bella sitting at her vanity mirror doing her hair. I smiled just thinking about her. I wanted to jump across and hold her in my arms. Her eyes met mine in the mirror and she turned around and walked over and out onto the balcony.

"Good morning ."she said leaning against the railing.

"Same to you Ms. Hale." I replied shooting her a crooked grin. She blushed and smiled.

"Are you ready for today? It's going to be a long day." She sighed.

"It shouldn't be that bad if I get to spend the whole day with you." I said softly. She looked down and blushed an even brighter red. "Would you like to catch a ride with me?" She looked up at me and nodded. "Sure."

"Alright I'm leaving at ten sound good?"She nodded again.

"See you in an hour." She turned around and continued doing her hair. I went and took a shower, getting ready for the day. I couldn't stop smiling, I was so happy, I even sang in the shower. I got out and dressed in jeans and a tight grey t-shirt with my leather jacket. I bounded down the steps and hummed my way into the kitchen. I hugged my mom from behind. She dropped the dishes and looked at me incredulously.

"You okay son?"

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm actually amazing." I said grinning like the idiot I am. Just then my dad came in and slapped me hard on the back.

"How's my pussy of a son?" He chuckled.

"EMMETT!" Mom exclaimed and smacked the back of his head.

"What ?" Mom shook her head. "Rosie come on he's been on one date with her and she's got him wrapped around her finger!" I scoffed.

"Need I remind you Emmett that I had you whipped before you even got to a first date." My dad just pouted. I slapped his back as I headed to the door.

"Who's the pussy now dad?" I laughed.

"Oh goodness Edward, you really do take after your father." Emmett wiggled his eyebrows at me and bumped my fist.

"Have fun today kiddo, and treat Bella right." I waved and walked to Bella's door with a huge smile.

I rang the doorbell and was greeted with Bella's father, Jasper.

"Hello ." I said

"Please Edward you make me sound old. Call me Jasper. Bella should be down in a minute if you wanna come on in. Tanya just left so it would just be the two of you." I nodded and sat down on the couch. I was only there for a few minutes when a pair of pale arms wrapped themselves around my neck and a gentle kiss was placed in my hair. I turned around as I stood up and smiled at my angel. She looked gorgeous. Her hair was curled, she wore tight blue jeans,brown leather boots and a white long sleeved shirt with a few buttons at the top which were left open, her pale chest visible.

"Edward, you can close your mouth anytime now." She giggled. My eyes darkened and I narrowed my eyes.

"You weren't supposed to catch me." I growled playfully as I tickled her, her beautifully sweet laugh ringing in my ears. I picked her up and spun her around. When I set her on her feet she placed her hands on my chest and looked up at me with her big brown eyes. I couldn't resist but to place my hands on either side of her face and pull her in for a kiss. Kissing her was incredible. It was like floating on a cloud. The taste of her lips sent me into a frenzy, she made me go crazy. Of course I kept myself in control but it was hard considering the affect that she had on me. I released her lips so we could both breathe; the spark still racing through my veins.

"Wow." Bella whispered to herself. "I could get used to this." She said as she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me in for another kiss.

"Ahem." Alice cleared her throat and Bella and I broke apart. She looked at her mom and blushed from being caught. "You better get going before you're late." She warned. Bella and I got to the door and waved goodbye to her mother. "Just be lucky it was me who caught you and not your father, he would be having a heart attack as we speak. Have a good rehearsal!" Alice winked at us as we left.

I took Bella's hand in mine as we walked to the car.

"That was so embarrassing." She said leaning her head on my shoulder. I laughed.

"It could have been a lot worse... we could have been in a more complicated position."I wiggled my eyebrows at her and laughed. She blushed and hit my arm.

"Edward." I'm only kidding. I said pulling her into my embrace. Bella's smell of strawberry's and freesia's filled my nose and I sighed contently before opening her door. I walked over to my side and got in, started the car and drove off to school. I knew that having her by my side that it was going to be a great day.

Alright I know it's not much but It's my way of slowly easing my way into updating this story again. You have made the Destiny journey incredible and I can never thank you enough. It has gotten about 9200 hits and that alone makes my heat soar. So what do you say? Let's finish the journey!
