Almost Silent Reverie
I lay on my bed, well technically Bella's bed since I didn't use it very much. I was thinking about her again, it was a night that I had decided to stay home, I rarely spent alone time with just my family anymore; Bella was my priority. Not that I regretted all the time I spent with her, I loved spending time with her, but I did need to spend some time with my family. They would kill me if I didn't at least spend some time with them.
Emmett and Rosalie were doing God knows what…which I regret being able to hear, Alice and Jasper were watching a trivial television show with Carlisle and Esme. So here I was lying in 'my' bed, thinking about the woman I wanted to spend eternity with. Even if eternity meant so much more to me than anyone else. She was my life now, somehow I felt as if she had always been my life. Even when she hadn't been born yet, it seemed as if my heart was searching for someone or something to complete it. Then Bella walked into my biology class, my head told me to take her, my heart told me to overcome every adversity and let her live.
I took a deep breath and her scent filled my senses, taking over every thought and every feeling as if she resided there and pulled the strings. In a sense she did, everything I did was for her. I fought my thirst for her, I spent hours laying next to her even though there was no reason for me to stay with her. I took every necessary precaution to protect her-both from herself and others like me.
The sound of Alice's laughter interrupted my thoughts. She was laughing at that silly human show. Really, how could they watch that?
I settled back into my reclining position, took a deep freesia-scented breath and drifted back into thoughts of my Bella.
I played with my mother's ring, spinning it around on my pinky finger. I remembered the first time I had mentioned marriage to Bella, she had thought I was joking. How silly she could be sometimes. She reminded me sometimes of my mother. Elizabeth Mason was open-minded and she wasn't afraid to voice her opinions. She would have loved Bella, almost as much as I did.
It was starting to become light out, although it was still cloudy. I got up to change and shower before I had to be at Bella's to pick her up.
