A/N. Thank you for sticking with me through the last chapter, I don't know how many of ya I scared off. I choose a dog because they are the easiest and most rewarding pet to care for. I have owned just about every furry and feathered pet under the sun, and believe me cats are the easiest followed by dogs. At least in my opinion. So this is a chapter between Bella and Edward on a date. They are home alone because everyone wanted to give them space. Please enjoy. I hope this makes up for my BS in the last chapter, I sincerely do.


To Make You Feel My Love- Chapter Six

Edward's Point of View

Finally our first night alone together, and I can show her what she means to me. I can't believe that less then two months ago I was a black hole, waiting for my ray of sunshine to come and light me up. I had big plans for tonight, well not necessarily big, but special. I was going to cook Bella dinner, and then we are going to watch a movie, followed by dancing out in the midnight sun. One thing that people forgot to mention when we moved here, it is still freaking daylight until all hours of the night during the summer. It makes life completely horrible when you can't leave because of twenty four sun. At least Carlisle's job lets him leave whenever he needs a break. Here he is only an emergency doctor in the summer, which basically means he makes his own shift. He is well renowned so it works. Every hospital that has heard of him wants him.

Tonight I choose The Notebook, mainly because I heard it was a sappy romance. I have never seen it before. It will be great to watch a movie with Bella that neither one of us have seen. On the other hand, maybe I should have picked one that we have both seen a million times so that way we focus more on each other.

"Stop," I mentally yelled at myself. Bella is not a piece of meat. We have both decided to wait to have sex again until after we are married. Emmett gives me a hard time about it, but he also teases me because I can wrangle a mountain lion but yet I can not whack a spider with a shoe.

I started to cook dinner which was strawberries, homemade whipped cream, a light summer salad, and pasta with parmesan and olive oil as the topping. Bella has been watching what she eats since I found her. I'm not sure why she never gains any weight, but maybe that's why she is watching what she eats. I don't mind preparing a bunch of fresh foods; it smells better then any of the processed stuff. The processed stuff smells like burnt cancer.

As I was putting the finishing touches on the salad Bella walked in and smiled at me. I made her a plate and watched her eat, occasionally leaning over to kiss her cheek. I just want to hold her and let her know how much I love her.

When the rain's blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I would offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

After she finished her dinner we moved into the living room and curled up on the couch. I turned on the movie and she snuggled up next to me.

"What movie are we watching?" My beautiful angel asked.

"The Notebook. I heard that it was a wonderful movie, based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks." I told her.

"OOO, I've wanted to see this movie. I love Rachel McAdams."

We cuddled closer and watched the sappy romance play out on the screen. I was constantly kissing the top of her head, occasionally lifting her head up to kiss her lips. When the part came on when they started to make out in the rain, we started to make out too.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

She started to cry at the end, just like I knew she would. Now it was time for me to take out the strawberries. I sensually fed on after another to her, watching her face contort with pleasure at the taste. She was smiling, making me smile. Nothing can top this; nothing can top holding her in my arms.

After we ate the strawberries, I helped her to her feet. She stood up, shaking the stiffness from her back and knees. I couldn't help but smile. She looked so perfect. Her skirt and blue silk shirt looked like they were made for her.

"Bella, love I'll be right back." I kissed her cheek as I dashed up the stairs.

I returned with my iPod dock and iPod. I led her out to the back patio and took her hands.

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
So no doubt in my mind where you belong

I selected the playlist and turned on my music. The playlist was one of my compositions about her and Ryan, as well as some songs that reminded me of her. The first song that started to play was her lullaby, which immediately brought tears to her eyes. "Bella, tonight I am going to teach you to dance. I do not care I you don't learn as long as you try."

"I'll try for you Edward." She said simply.

We danced through the grass, her occasionally stumbling, but never losing her footing completely. She was getting the hang of it. I knew she would be a great dancer if she just tried. I held her close to my body absorbing her warmth and smell. Basking in her happiness, for it was mine too.

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

We danced for a couple of hours, and then went inside to lie in bed. She curled up next to my side and smiled her warm smile, melting my heart. I was sure that soon my heart would no longer be a pool of frozen, burned, or stone muscle; it would surely begin working at any time now, waking me from this wonderful yet horrible dream.

I couldn't be this lucky. I was a murderer, a monster. She was innocent, like a lamb, though not nearly as ignorant. When would she realize that I wasn't the right one for her? Would she ever fall out of love with me? I couldn't tell. She didn't when I deserted her, she never got over me. She never moved on, even though she tried. I tried too but nothing can break the bond we share, not even fate.

The storms are raging on a rolling sea
And down the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
But you ain't seen nothin' like me yet

"Edward, I love you. I could never live without you. You are my life now."

"I love you too Bella. Now get to sleep, you are dozing. I'll be here when you wake." I told her gathering my composure.

I felt her slip into unconsciousness, and I started to sob with joy. I never understood how one could cry out of happiness before now I knew. She was my life now; I would never let her go. I just wish that there was some way to make her feel my love.

There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
Make you happy, make your dreams come true
To make you feel my love

Thank you to everyone who has read, reviewed, and added this story. It has boosted my confidence and given me the strength to continue. The song in this chapter is To Make You Feel My Love written by Bob Dylan. I like the Garth Brooks version the most, so that's the one I recommend.
