As promised; here is the next chapter. Hope you like, please review

I peeked inside my room, afraid to fully enter.

I immediately located Edward. He was pacing hurriedly in front of my window.

The candles placed around the room bathed him in a golden light; his facial features were shadowed as he bent his head to pinch the bridge of his nose with his right hand, the other held in a fist behind his back. He looked even more the dark angel I knew him to be.

He must not have noticed me because he never broke pace; taking four long strides, then spinning on his heels to begin back the other way.

I took a deep breath and entered the room, closing the door behind me.

I must have caught Edward's attention for he abruptly stopped in his tracks; standing as still as a statue the way only he could. His eyes were piercing and slightly distant.

I stood in front of the door, leaning on it. The silence was awkward and guts wrenching.

We stood at opposite ends of the room, staring at each other intently.

I opened my mouth to speak but Edward began before I could utter a word.

"A..are you in..injured?" he asked quietly, almost to himself.

I was shocked; I had never heard Edward's voice so…vulnerable. Perhaps I hadn't totally messed up quite yet..

I watched him with wide eyes, not able to respond.

"Bella, I'm sorry. It was totally inappropriate to enter the bathroom withou…"

I held up my hand before he could finish. I didn't want to hear the break up speech.

"You… don't have to stay." I said trying not to cry.

My voice was shaky and cracking, I doubted I sounded strong and defiant like I hoped I would.

Edward's facial expression abruptly changed from the anger it had held to sheer confusion.

"What?" he asked; pure confusion saturated his voice.

I had obviously made him loose his train of thought.

"Weren't you just about to leave me?" I asked with my confidence back, it angered me that he was playing dumb, why couldn't he just spit it out and save himself the trouble?

"Bella I was not going to leave you. I was apologizing for my horrid behavior." He said slowly, his expression changing to the soft adoring features I was sued to.

I was the one with the confused expression now.

''What?" I asked rapidly.

He chuckled, "Love, it was completely inappropriate for me to enter that bathroom without your permission. I should have waited outside the door. I simply wasn't thinking. But what I'm more concerned about right now is whether or not you're injured."

I looked at my toes. I was taken aback, he didn't care? He didn't care that I had tried to seduce him? He didn't care that I had fallen completely naked on top of him? I could feel my eyes begin to well up as I realized that he wasn't going to leave me. I been so prepared to hear that he wanted to leave, but he did.

I looked back up at Edward, silent tears running down my cheeks.

"Yo..your not leaving?" I asked weakly.

"Oh, Bella." Edward whispered as he quickly crossed the room to collect me in his arms.

I wrapped my arms around his neck as he carried me bridal style to my bed. He gently set me down and sat next to me with my hands in his. He raised his left hand to wipe my tears from my cheecks.

"You thought I was going to leave you?" he asked, his voice giving a slightly teasing tone.

I couldn't find my voice at the moment thanks to my tears so I merely nodded.

Edward chuckled again, as he pulled me into his chest. He gave me a tight hug and rubbed his hands up and down my back.

"Oh love, I could never leave you. I've already told you, you are my life now. If I was to leave, what would I have to life for?"

Fresh tears fell from my eyes as he spoke these words. I didn't deserve this wonderful man. I looked up at Edward and smiled the best I could.

"I don't deserve you." I said through my tears.

Instead of speaking Edward slowly bent his head and slowly kissed me. Our mouths slightly parted and Edward's tongue entered my mouth.

My hands slowly found their way to Edward's hair and Edward's hands fell to my waist.

I rolled my tongue slowly over Edward's, it wasn't an aggressive kiss; it was the kind that made you feel like your souls were connecting.

Edward slowly pulled his mouth from mine, far too early for my liking.

My tears had stopped and Edward smiled my favorite crooked smile at me. I smiled with him and took his right hand in mine, tracing the lines in his palm.

"Feeling better?" Edward asked, his mouth next to my ear.

I giggled, his hot breath in my ear tickled.

"Mhm." I answered.

I looked to my clock, it was only seven o'clock, yet I was tired. I blamed it on my crying. I hadn't realized how much time had passed from the time Edward had arrived till now.

Edward stood to look out my window,

"What's with all the candles?" he asked teasingly.

"Oh, nothing." I replied.

He nodded and returned to gazing out the window. The rain had reduced to a slight pitter patter and the wind has ceased.

I decided to join Edward at the window and walked to his side. He put his left arm around my shoulders as I wound my right arm around his waist. The world outside looked calm and the night had turned dark. I leaned down and opened the window. Cool air flooded in and soon I could smell the sweet smell of fresh rain.

"Beautiful night out, huh?" I asked.

"Very. I love the night after it's rained." He replied.

The pitter patter of the rain on the roof was like a lullaby and soon I found myself stifling a yawn.

Edward looked down at me and smiled, "Getting tired are we?" he asked.

"Nu uh." I replied, suppressing another yawn.

Edward chuckled and picked me up again, I didn't fight it. No matter how much I wanted to stay awake, I suddenly just couldn't.

Edward set me down on my bed and pulled back a corner of my comforter. He placed me underneath the blankets and turned to blow out candles. He reduced the candle light to a light glimmer and turned back to me.

"Do you want me to stay?" he asked.

"Of course," I said teasingly, "Charlie won't be home all night."

Edward laughed and pulled the comforter on the other side of me back. I moved over so he could slide in.

Edward lay on his side and propped his head up with his right arm, watching me.

My eyes fluttered as I looked into his eyes, I wanted desperately to stay awake but knew I couldn't.

Edward used his left hand to gently draw lazy patterns on my arm. When he noticed my eyes flutter he chuckled to himself.

"Love, please try to sleep." He whispered in my ear.

"Will you be here tomorrow?" I asked with my eyes closed, my mind started to become numb.

"Yes, now listen to the rain." He instructed softly. This time his voice sounded farther off.

I thought of the book that was just below where I was laying and decided to try again tomorrow. I was determined now.

As my mind succumbed to slumber I heard Edward softly humming my lullaby and the light pitter patter of the evening rain. In minutes I was asleep.

A nice serene way to end this chapter huh? No cliffy or anything, you should be very happy. Be ready for the next chapter, even more surprises to come! Please review and tell me what you think. Thanks
