Chapter 2 Later That Night

Bella and her father arrived home later that night. "I'm so proud of you Bella." Charlie said. "I know that graduation wasn't up to your standards but you did great, by the way, did you hurt yourself when you fell?"

"No Dad." Bella said.

"Good" Charlie said. "Are you ready to leave for California tomorrow?"

"Yes Dad," Bella said, "Speaking of which I should go to bed now, I've got to get up early tomorrow."

"Okay Bells, good night." Charlie said. Yeah like I'm actually going to bed now, Bella thought to herself. The truth was is that she wanted to spend a few extra hours with Edward. Bella and her father were going to Californa for five days, after two Reene would be joining them, but it would be five days without Edward, but it was somewhat worth it. Because Bella was going to Californa Charlie was allowing for her to spend the majority of her summer with the Cullen's so it was somewhat of a fair trade. Bella ducked into the bathroom and changed before going into her room. She opened the door, there he was, still as a statue, waiting for her. Just the sight of Edward took Bella's breath away. Without warning he ran over and picked up Bella.

"Hey," Bella said, trying to keep her voice down. "I don't need to be carried anywhere." Edward set her down on the bed.

"Yes you do." Edward said, his voice like liquid velvet, "Bella, you couldn't walk a few feet across a stable, flat stage, you might just end up in the emergency room if you walk across a room."

"Edward" Bella whispered his name, like you might if you were daydreaming.

"I don't feel safe going on this trip of yours," Edward said. "You might, no, will get hurt."



"Can you please stop worrying and allow me to enjoy your presence?" Bella said "If you are worrying, I'll get worried and I have to survive five days without you. Worry about me when I'm gone. "

"Fine," Edward said "What would you rather have me do?"

"I can think of one thing." Bella said. Edward pulled her closer and kissed her.

"Would that be it?" He said.

"You read my mind." Bella said.

"No, I didn't," Edward said to her quizzical look. "Remember? I can't read your mind?" Bella gave him a playful slap. Edward reached under the bed for the quilt that Bella always kept there, wrapped it around her, and he cradled her in his arms. He kissed her again and said, "Anything else?"

"Hmm, no." Bella said. Edward began to hum, it seemed that he always had a song in him. "What's that?" Bella said because she didn't recognize the tune.

"It's new." was all that Edward said. After a few minutes Bella's eyes began to droop. Edward silently took off the extra quit put it back under the bed and tucked Bella in.

"Could you do me two favors?" Bella asked.

"Let me guess," Edward said "You want me to be here in the morning and," he kissed her again, longer than the first two times.

"Yes" Bella breathed. And Bella fell asleep to her lullaby, sung by her angel.

And that my friends is chapter 2. Like it, hate it? Reviews can fix that problem! I love reviews as much as Alice like shopping.
