I'm back! Well, kind of. I'm still in Europe, but Jensen and I are staying with my aunt and her family in Rome until September, and my lovely aunt is loaning me her laptop. Europe was so amazing, if you ever get the chance, you absolutely have to go.

Thanks for being so patient, I filled an entire two subject notebook with writing, so these next few chapters will be coming out faster.

Flashback- I Love You:

BPOV

"I can't believe I'm in New York City." I sighed, leaning my head against Edward's chest. He laughed and tickled my side.

"I can't believe you've never been to New York!" Edward grinned, tilting his head up to look at the blackened sky.

We had spent most of the day hiding under sweatshirt hoods and dark sunglasses, to no avail. Of course, we had be recognized and retreated back to our hotel room. But now, it was 6 in the morning and we weren't being bothered. I tightened the red scarf around my neck and stared up at Edward, mesmerized. It was still hard for me to believe that this relationship was real. He was so perfect, flawless in nearly every way. Edward had his pick of women; and still he chose me.

"What?" Edward asked, catching me staring at him.

"Nothing. I was just thinking." I blushed, and Edward squeezed me tight to his side.

"About…?" He prodded, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

"You. And….me." I admitted. Edward sighed and smirked a little bit.

"You mean us." He corrected. "You were thinking about us."

"Yes, I suppose so." I tucked my chin into the collar of my coat and continued walking. But Edward caught my arm and held me in place.

"What about us?" He asked curiously, a small line appearing between his eyebrows. I sighed and Edward curled his finger under my chin, tilting my head up. "Love, you're going to have to elaborate."

"Where is this going?" I finally asked, and Edward's hand fell to his side; releasing my chin. His eyes were cloudy, but he was still smiling.

"Bella, I love you." He said quietly. "And I am willing to take this relationship as far as you will let me." I stood there for a minute, dumbfounded. Edward's face dropped after awhile and he shoved his hands in his coat pockets. Then I realized what was wrong.

"I love you too." I whispered, and Edward broke into a huge smile; wrapping his arms around me and kissing me passionately. I could feel him smiling all through the embrace.

"I love you, I love you, I love you." Edward breathed, planting soft kisses on my nose, cheeks, and forehead. "You're so beautiful, Bella. And sweet, and perfect. I love you."

"I think I've heard that somewhere." I teased, kissing his neck with equal tenderness. "I love you." I whispered, not even attempting to stop the dopey grin spreading across my face. "You are so amazing, Edward. Perfect." He was grinning to and I didn't care how stupid we must have looked. He loved me, and I loved him too. That was the only thing that mattered in this moment.

And, of course, I ruined the moment by letting out a huge yawn. Edward's eyes immediately narrowed and he scooped me up in his arms, heading back in the direction of our hotel.

"You're exhausted." He accused as I attempted to protest. "And I won't have the woman I love exerting herself on the last day of our trip. You haven't forgotten; we leave late tonight."

"I know." I grumbled, giving up my fight and relaxing in his strong arms. "You know, sometimes you're too sweet for your own good." I poked him in the ribs and Edward responded my silencing me with a kiss.

"So you've told me." Edward rolled his eyes. "But you should just give up. I'm always going to love you like this, Bella. Get used to it." His tone was playful and he was smiling that same dopey grin I knew was plastered across my face as well.

Again, it didn't matter. Not in this perfect, untouchable moment.

A/N: Ugh, you can hate me for this short chapter. But I am still vacationing, so I get a little lax time as well. But I will update this story or one of my others later today.

You have no idea how jet-lagged I am…I don't even remember what time zone we are in. Night. Or…good morning. Or good afternoon….fuck, I don't know. See ya.
