Chapter 7: Welcome to your new home.
I ran everywhere, not picking up her scent.
There was one place I go to think.
I ran to my meadow, hoping it will help me find Bella somehow.
I ran into my meadow, only to see the back of someone, someone with long brown hair.
"Come here often?" the angelic voice that I've been dieing to hear rang though the trees.
"Only to think" I said as I walked over to her. She stood up, dusting herself down. She turned to face me.
"What are you thinking about?" She ask, honestly curious.
"I'm thinking about why a beautiful girl would come all the way from Italy to see me" I said.
"Mmmm, funny, I'm thinking the exact same thing" She replied, a smile dancing alone her lips.
"Any luck finding an answer?" I asked playfully whilst grabbing her hips and pulling her closer to me.
"Nope" She replied, popping the 'p'. She wrap he arms around my neck, so her hands were behind my head.
"When you find the answer, tell me" I said as I lean closer to her.
"Mhm" was her only reply before she pulled me in, and kissed me.
****************
After the kiss we just sat and talked. Bella told me how she only had two years away from the Volturi.
I only had two years with her, before she had to leave me.
I was not going to waste any of that.
"Bella, move in with me" I said, hoping she would say yes.
"What?" Bella asked.
"We only have two years together, and I don't want to spend any of that time away from you" I said, hoping I wasn't coming on too strong, "Move in with me, please" I said.
"Of course, I would love to Edward" Bella said, still shocked.
She said yes, she wanted to live with me. I was over joyed. I picked her up and swung her around in circles.
**********************
Carlisle and Esme welcomed Bella into the house with no fuss, Alice welcomed her with open arms, telling her they were gonna be best friends, doing make-overs and shopping together, all the time. At this Bella went even paler.
Alice started to drag Bella around the house, giving her a tour.
Bella grabbed my arm and pulled me close.
"You've got to protect me from her" Bella whispered to me. I let out a chuckle.
"I heard that" Alice called.
Bella's expression became one of fear. I chuckled again.
I took Bella to my room, showed her where to put her bags.
She put her bags down and stood in the middle of my room.
I stood behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist.
I put my lips to her neck, before whispering in her ear…
"Welcome home"
