Recap -
"Edward, are trying to tell me that you might have some feelings for me other than just as friends?" Then he smiled his mind blowing crooked smile and I just melted into the earth of this beautiful meadow.
Chapter 13: Which guy is best for me?
"Bella, are you alright? Let me help you up. Love, what am I going to do with you?"
"Eeedward," I shuddered, "You dazzle me with that breathtaking smile of yours. Can I ask you again do you have feelings for me? What kind of feelings do you have, friends plus more like I told you about or like a sister or like you like me as a person."
"Bella, I hope to share all my heart with you and fill you in all your questions that you have for me. Bella, I know that you have feelings for this Jacob Black guy but I think that you also have feeling for me. Am I wrong?"
"No Edward, you're not wrong, I do have feeling for Jacob Black and feelings for you. I'm sorry Edward; I can't just say that I like you alone. But I have to work through all my feeling for Jacob before I can tell you the three words that I long to say to you."
I was crying at this point, Edward leaned forward, wiped the tears from my face, took his hands and lifted my chin, brought his lips to mine, and started to kiss me softly. I tangled my fingers into his hair and tried to pull him closer to me.
"Love, take your time and sort this all out."
"Hmm Edward, can we still, mmmm, do this till I figure it all out?"
"And what would that be love? Still do what, May I ask?" Then I blushed and he bends down and kissed me again. "Bella, I would do anything for you, anything. Bella, I'm falling in love with you." I grabbed him and started to kiss him again for like the fourth time in this beautiful meadow.
"Edward, I love this place." We walked hand in hand to the edge of the meadow and watched the sun set.
"Bella this will be our place from now on. Our meadow is even more beautiful now that you're in it."
"Thanks Edward, but you're the beautiful one."
We stayed in our meadow for another hour just sitting together holding onto each other. I didn't care that Edward and his family are vampires, I have never felt any safer in my life then I did right now in his cold arms. Ring, ring, ring, Edward's phone went off and we both knew it was Alice calling to find out when she was going to get to dress me up.
"Hello, Alice," Edward said, "Yes, we're at our meadow, we will be home soon. Can you have Esme fix something for Bella to eat?"
"Sure Edward, just get here soon, I have some new things for Bella to try on. She'll look so cute in them, I bought them for her. I also have my bathroom all ready for the makeover." Then I heard her evil little pixie laugh.
"Edward, I'm going to be in for a fun night." He nodded his head and smiled at me.
"Bye Alice, Bella and I will see you soon, and no, she hasn't, don't press her about it, I'll all come in due time."
"What will come in due time, Edward?"
"Nothing love, we'll work on that when the time comes, alright?"
"Sure, we better go before Alice hunts us down and kills you and me."
"Wait Bella, I want to try something first before we go." Then he grabbed me by my arm and smiled his biggest tooth filled grin, I almost fell. My knees felt like they would buckle under my weight. Then he wrapped his arms around me to hold me up, well at least that was part of it.
"Edward?"
"Shhh love, just go with it." Then he pressed his whole wonderful body to mine gently and kissed me with so much passion that my soul was on fire with love or maybe lust for this man. I've never felt this way about anyone before, not even Jacob.
"Bella, we should go but you are welcome to sleep in my room again tonight like last time. I don't use my bed like Alice and Jasper do, so you will be comfortable in my bed."
"Edward, I would love that, that way we can also talk and you can sleep with me like last time holding me all night. Yeah I knew that you were in bed with me all night, but I've never slept better."
"Love, we don't sleep."
"Never?"
"No, sorry."
"So, what did you do the last time? What does Alice and Jasper do in their bed if they don't sleep in it?"
"Bella, I laid and watched you sleep and listened to you talk in your sleep, it was so sweet. I think that was the first time I started to see you for who you really are and I was lucky enough that you didn't run away from me."
"Edward." Then he put his fingers to my lips and kissed me one last time before we drove off toward his and Alice's house. Alice was on the front porch steps waiting when we pulled up.
"Bella!" She squealed in a high pitched bell tone. "Finally, your home Edward, now it's my time with Bella, till midnight! I don't want to see you till then, not a second sooner, do you hear me young man?"
"Yes sister, I hear you as long as you honor your deal and I get more alone time with Bella from midnight till 10AM." Then Alice smiled at him, he nodded his head, kissed my forehead, and walked up the stairs and out of site.
"Are you hungry, Bella?" Alice asked. I had forgotten that I hadn't had dinner yet till she brought it up.
"Esme fixed you a veggie burger and some homemade sweet potatoes fries."
"Thanks so much, I love all of that." For Esme not eating, she sure can cook.
I finished eating and went to clean up but Esme told me to just leave it and go have fun with Alice. I think I would rather clean every room in the house with my toothbrush then what was coming my way. Alice grabbed my hand and pulled me up to her and Jasper's bedroom.
"Alice, can I ask you something kind of personal? Edward asked me if I wanted to sleep in his room again because he didn't use his bed the way you and Jasper use yours, he told me that you guys..." and then I lowered my voice to a whisper, "...vampires don't sleep at all, so what do you do all night?"
She smiled real big and laughed her evil little laugh. "Stop laughing at me, you pixie you."
"Bella honey, Edward told you that we don't sleep and that's true but Jasper and I are married and we do what most married people do."
"Oh my God Alice, I'm so sorry I asked." I said, blushing. But my heart swelled thinking about Edward not doing that either. Maybe he wasn't ready yet or hasn't met the right person that he wants in that way yet. I was screaming in my head, 'Please let him choose me!' And how glad I am that he can't hear my mind.
"Bella, let's go, I bought you some new clothes and I won't take no for an answer. Here, try this one on." Then she tossed me a dark blue cami and boy short underwear set. I loved it but I had to put up a little fuss or she would think it wasn't me.
Alice had bought me ten pairs in different colors and then she handed me four new pair of pants, three pair of shoes, and seven shirts. They all matched at least one of the underwear sets. Did she think I would be showing off my underwear to someone?
"Bella, now put this on and follow me into my bathroom so I can do your hair and some light makeup."
I put on the dark blue dress that, of course, matched my underwear set that I had already put on. Alice washed my hair with strawberry shampoo, she must have went and gotten it for me because she never smells like strawberries. Then she blow-dried out all my curls, then she put some small curls back in around my face. I had a little bit of lip gloss and powder on my face and she was done.
"Bella, see and we still have time to study, it's only 9PM and you don't get to leave me till midnight."
We started to study and after a while we were laughing so hard that we didn't get too much work done.
"Alice, can we come in please? We heard you and Bella laughing and wanted to know if you two wanted to come play the Wii with us."
"Sure Jazzy, you can come in but who's with you? Is it Edward?"
"No he went out to hunt, it's Emmett."
Alice looked at me and asked me with her eyes and I said, "Yeah, sounds fun guys." So I packed up my new things and set them beside the door frame for when I went to sleep in Edward's room.
"What game are we going to play, Emmett? I used to play Super Mario with my mom on our Nintendo 64. Renee had picked it up at a yard sale for three dollars."
"Bells, we have any game you want to play, we were playing Guitar Hero. I like to rock out and Jasper isn't too bad either."
"Sit down and we'll hook up the drum set and the mic so you can sing and Alice can play the drums."
"Do you think I can sing? That's funny; I'm not good at anything but falling down." I said.
"Oh Bella, just try for me," Emmett said with his puppy dog eyes. "Besides, Rose said that you couldn't sing either and you would bail and not even play with us, are you going to let her be right Bells? She never has been when it came to you."
"Well, I guess I can't start now by letting her be right about me, now can I?" Emmett smiled and handed me the mic, patted me on my head, and started the game. I started off singing kind of softly but the more we played the more fun I was having.
"Hey Bells, you sound good, why didn't you want to sing?"
"I don't know Jasper; I just never thought I could do anything."
"Bella, I think we should see about having you lay down some track and I'll send it to my friend in Northern California."
"Thanks Jasper, but I don't think I even look like a singer would. They're beautiful, not plain like me."
Then the clock on the wall chimed midnight and Edward walked in and said, "Bella, love you don't see yourself clearly. You're this amazing person, beautiful inside and out. Oh and by the way it's midnight Alice, so goodnight. Now is my time."
"Love, are you ready for bed?"
"Yeah, I'm ready Edward. Night Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Carlisle, and Esme, see you in the morning." Then everyone yelled, "Night!" Back to me.
"Bella, I'll grab your bag and meet you in my room."
I walked up to Edward's room, went into his bathroom, brushed my teeth, pulled off the dress, pulled on a set a pj's that Alice had gotten me last time, and went to climb into Edward's bed. Edward wasn't in the room yet and I wondered where he was, it's not like he isn't faster than I am at things.
As I walked closer to the bed I saw red rose petals spread all over it. I almost started to cry, and then I felt Edward wrap his arms around me, and pull me in closer to him. Then he started kissing the back of my neck, when I opened my mouth to say something, he just put his finger to my mouth, turned me around, and brought his lips to mine.
