Simple Love
I was sitting at the rotten excuse for a computer that I kept in my room, typing a response to Renée. Out of nowhere, hands covered my eyes and I jumped involuntarily. His cold breath tickled my ear as he whispered into it. "Boo," he said. He laid a soft kiss at the base of my throat that caused me to shiver. I grabbed his hands before he had a chance to pull away and slid his arms down so that he was hugging me around my shoulders. His lips trailed up and down the right side of my jaw, and I shivered again and tightened my grip on his wrists, hoping he would understand I didn't want him to leave. I turned my head, abandoning my emails for now, bringing his lips to mine. I twisted in the chair so I could put both of my hands on either side of his face. His arms now covered my back and he began to run his hands up and down my spine. I shivered a third time and he broke the kiss, his lips ing just an inch away from mine. "Bella-" he said in a warning tone. I pouted. He pulled my hands away by the wrists and went to sit on the bed.
"Finish your email."
Still pouting, I turned back to the screen and quickly ended my almost-finished letter to Renée. Then I closed down the internet and hit the off button on the computer. I didn't care about shutting it down right.
I got up and walked to the bed.
"Enough, my love." I ignored him and sat on his lap. He held my face in his hands, restraining. "How eager you are to risk your life tonight, my Bella." I only stared at him, trying to be as persuasive as I could with my eyes. "Bella," he whispered. He moved one of his hands, stroking my face gently with his fingertips. He leaned in and kissed me softly this time. As I moved my hands back to their places on his face, his arms wrapped around me again. He pulled away and kissed me in the middle of my forehead, then turned between my hands and kissed the inside of my left ring finger, where the ring lay. He smiled at me, radiantly beautiful, an angel's face.
He hugged me to his chest and lay back against the pillow, keeping me in his lap.
"I love you."
He had never said it so simply before. I leaned upward and kissed the corner where his jaw and throat met. "I love you," I whispered in response. It wasn't very cold for a night in Forks and his icy touch didn't bother me. I fell asleep in his arms, wondering what I would talk about tonight and how happy I was to be with him as he hummed me my lullaby.
