Ch. 3
EPOV
" You want me?" I asked and all I could think of was I'm not ready. I did love her, and I did
plane on being with her as long as I could, but I wasn't ready to make love to her. " Bella, I
'm not ready." she looked up and to my surprise, she smiled. " I'd say to bad, but that's not
the way I meant. I don't want to, you know, yet, but I do want you to be with me or me with
you, if you'll allow it. I want you to hold me, and kiss me. Tell me everything's going to be
ok, even if Its not. Please Edward," she pleaded. I just shook my head. She must not have
seen my smile, because her bottom lip started to quiver. " Bella, don't cry. I really cant
stand when your not happy, it makes me upset. Now, I'm not saying no to you, I would
quite enjoy loving you and complying to your request. I'm just glad you want the same
thing I do and that your ok with us being that way." She must have been happy because
she smiled brightly, though it didn't reach her eyes. I was determined to have her happy
again. There wasn't anything I wanted more. I went to touch her and she leaned into my
hand. I slowly closed the gap between us, not wanting to scare her, which still didn't work,
she pulled back and then came back to the way we were. I started to move close again,
crashing our lips together. I lead her back to the bed and laid her down. She was reacting
to my touch while she let out a small moan. I decided to deepen the kiss. She slowly
allowed me to enter her mouth while my hands roamed around her body. She tried to take
her shirt off, but I broke us apart. " Bella, I cant take much more of this with out
combusting and taking things to far, we need to stop." she looked down and nodded. I
gave her a what was supposed to be a quick kiss, but she deepened it on her own.
"Okay," She said once we broke apart. " I'm done, I just wanted one more." she was tired,
I could see that. I picked her up easily and pulled back the sheets. She snuggled into the
pillow while I went to change. When I came back she was sitting up. " Edward, your
staying in here right?" I hadn't thought of anything different to do, but if she didn't want
me to, I wouldn't. " Only if you want me to." I stated. She smiled and nodded. " I want you
to." I smiled back and got in bed. She snuggled her way into my arms and sighed. She was
asleep with in 2 minuets. I stayed up and thought about the way life had turned out. A
week ago I was sitting alone wondering if Bella would ever leave James, and now I had
her in my arms because she had finally had enough. I don't think things could get any
better.
Next day
BPOV
I woke up in a fog. I knew I had to be dreaming about last night. It was to much to have
really happened. How could Edward really love me. I wasn't anything special. My hair was
just plain and my skin was as white as snow. Not the least bit attractive. And yet, I couldn't
help but think that maybe Edward did say he loved me last night. It could happen. Why
else would he secretly see me? Maybe he felt sorry for you, I thought. Any ways. I needed
to go home, or, James' house, I really needed close and I might as well face the music,
though that might be really painful. Not to mention that I had over stayed my stay. Edward
and Alice wouldn't want me here forever. " You awake yet?" I turned to see Alice standing
at the door way. She smiled and came to sit on the bed with me. " Edward went to get you
something to eat. He said you deserved something better than my cooking." I laughed.
Last time Alice cooked, we were in Middle School trying to make breakfast for our moms.
They nearly died by the taste. Easily said that Alice couldn't cook. " Alice, were are you?"
Edward called from the living room. " In here!" She answered. He walked In smiling like
the god he was. " Morning love." He said to who I thought was me. He leaned down to give
me a kiss, making Alice leave. " How are you?" he asked " Fine. A little tired though." I
smiled. " Edward, Last night, Umm did you really say that you loved me?" He looked
Confused. I knew I had imagined it. " Oh… never Mind that, I thought it was a dream." Now
he looked mad. " Bella, it was not a dream. I told you that I loved you. What's wrong with
that? You said you loved me too. Did that change?" So he did say it? Why? " Of course I
love you! I just couldn't think why you loved me and thought it was a… a dream." He
smiled. " Bella, I will always love you. And unless you don't want me to be here, I will
always be with you." I smiled back. So he did love me. What a great world. "Ok, I believe
you! But just to let you know, I'll always want you. No matter what happens. You're here
forever."
He laughed. " Forever sounds good to me." Then me kissed me. It was soft and gentle, at
first, he soon deepened it before we broke apart. " Edward, I need to go and get my things.
There might not be much left, but I need what ever is there." I sighed. So did he. " Alright,
but your not going alone. You got that? I wont let you face that scum all alone." I smiled.
He want to protect me, and I felt safe. " Ok. You got it." He did a crooked smile that made
my heart jump. " Alright. Lets Eat that food I got you. I think you'll like it. Donuts." He
dragged me out of the bed and into his arms bridal style. " Edward! Put me down." He
shook his head. " I'm going to do this to you every chance I get. You need to be
pampered." there was that cooked smile that once again made my heart jump. " You two
better not get to carried away." I heard my brothers booming voice. " Emmett!!" Edward
set me down, and I ran to my brother. " Hey Bells. You…Okay?" I nodded with a smile,
earning a smile back. " Good. Anyways. Rose and I just decided to come and hang out
with you guys if that's ok. Thought it was the best for you since you probably needed
some family," He turned his attention to Edward. " Thank you." Edward nodded. Rosalie
came up and hugged me. " You are not allowed to leave his side Bella." She Whispered
and I knew she was talking about James. " Agreed." Everyone echoed. I turned and
smiled. "Sorry I caused so much trouble last night for everyone. I didn't mean to." Edward
came up behind me and grabbed me. " Don't worry about that, as long as your alright and
don't go back, no harm done." I turned in his arm and kissed him. I just hoped this would
last forever. There was no way I was going to survive if it broke.

She turned and kissed me and though I wanted to deepen it, I couldn't in front of Emmett.
" Ok, lets eat." Alice chimed in. Bella sighed as I let her go. " I'm really not hungry." She
complained. " I really think you should eat though. It would end better if you have energy."
She nodded and we went to sit at the table.
After Bella was done, there was a knock on the door. I wasn't expecting anyone and I
didn't think anyone else was. " I'll get it." Bella stated, getting up. I was about to go get her
when I heard " What the hell do you think you doing here? Do you think you can just leave
without saying anything? You little Tramp!" James. I saw Emmett tense up as we both
headed for the door. " I, I, I don't know, I just…" Bella stuttered as Emmett and I got there.
" Bella, come over here and James get the Hell away from my house and my loved ones."
I stated. Bella turned towards me and headed my way. " What the fuck do you think your
doing?" James yelled at her grabbing her arm that was in a brace. She winced. That was
enough for me. Before I knew what I was doing, I had socked James in the face, giving
him a bloody nose. Bella stared at me. " Well James, it looks like you just got the boot. I
suggest you leave before I have to get in this too." Emmet smiled. I think It was more
scary then when he wasn't. " I think what happens between Bella and I is our business.
Now, Bella its time for you to come home so we can discuses what you did." James came
into the house. All eyes were on Bella. She nodded and started to head out the door with
James. My heart almost dropped but no could move. She made her choice. James smiled
and walked out the door, then Bella stopped. " Bye James." She smiled and waved to him.
He looked back shocked. Everyone was. " wha-" She Cut Him off by slamming the door in
his face. " I'm so going to pay for that later. She smiled. Everyone clapped, except me I
ran and kissed her. She let me in and I explored her mouth. When we broke apart I spun
her around. " Bella, that was awesome!" Alice Screamed.
" Awesome? That was amazing!" Rose called back. " I'm proud to call you my sister! Did
you all see his face when she said bye. I swear, that had to be the funniest thing yet!" Emmett stated. " Do you know you almost gave me a heart attack? I thought that you were
going to go with him!" I whispered just to Bella, who was still in my arms. " I'm sorry, just
thought it was time." She smiled, causing me to smiled back before we went in for another
kiss. This was A happily ever I just hoped stayed happy.
