Bella's POV.
"Bella?" Edward called me, as I laid with Rosalie on the unnecessary bed, she had in her room. Why she had a bed in here, I had no idea. Honestly. Why would Emmett and Rosalie need a…Oh. I get it. Ew.
"Yes?" I said, turning to look at him. I loved the color and shape of his golden eyes. Now that I saw them again, I realized how I missed them. I missed staring back at him, without the hate that lingered in my head for him.
"Can you spare me a moment?" He asked, softly.
"Your pathetic," Rosalie laughed, with her eyes still closed. We rested here together, pretending to be asleep. Exactly how we would do it when we were just girls. Or when I hid under Rosalie's covers when the thunder was too loud. Just like we were, before.
Edward let out a small growl. "Sure," I smiled back at him.
"I expect you to run back here. I want to know every little feeble thing Edward says." Rosalie snickered loudly again, as I sprung off the bed and walked towards the door, where Edward stood.
"Rose," I shook my head.
"Oh Lighten up. His is my brother after all," Rosalie flashed a small grin. "And maybe if he is lucky…I might allow him to join the Hale family," Edward snorted as Rosalie finished her sentence.
"Let's go," He said irritated as he rushed me out , closing the door roughly with my sister laughing inside.
"What do you want to talk…about?" I asked him. Clearly my nervousness was showing because his face lit up with a dazzling crooked smile.
"Us," He said proudly. "I heard you. What you Said to Rosalie," Oh. 'Edward is the one for me'. Damn it. I should have kept that to myself.
"I don't know what you are talking about," I said, as we walked outside to Esme's porch, in human pace.
"Bella, I only just heard you," He smiled.
"We all did!" Alice shouted from inside.
"Shut up Alice!" Both of us yelled after the pixie. Damn nosey fairy.
Edward shook his head. "No privacy" He muttered under his breath. Ironic. Isn't he the one with the ability to read peoples minds? "I thought I lost you," He said, removing me from my previous thought.
"I wasn't dead, Edward," I replied, not knowing exactly how to reply to that. "Carlisle has a theory for that." I began. "I was trying my hardest to freeze time, to get everything to stop, but the fear that surrounded me was much too powerful for me than my capability to concentrate on that precise moment. And instead of freezing everything, It back fired on me. I froze myself," I chuckled.
"And my fear Bella King," He said, ignoring Carlisle's theory. His velvety voice gave me a sensation of electricity running through my body. Ah…Im such a human. "What caused me to almost go insane, was watching you lay on that floor and thinking you weren't waking up. My nightmare, was holding your lifeless body in my arms, looking down at you, and knowing you weren't coming back. Thinking that I lost you. Forever."
Damn. Curse his nineteenth century romanticism. "Edward," I sighed deeply. "I don't think, Tanya Denali would appreciate this. Don't get me wrong, you flatter me. And my heart is unconditionally yours, since the moment I met you.. But I am not about to fight to the death, with your mate, for you. I just got my sister back. Don't make me lose her once more." Why? Why did it have to be so complicated? My feelings for Edward, they are so grand. So pure. And I have to repress them, because I was too late. Someone else had his heart. Maybe he didn't return the gesture, but his heart rightfully belongs to another Vampire.
"No Bella" He said, firmly. "Before you my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there was stars-Points of light and Reason." He took my hand, into his. They fit perfectly. Like if I was designed just for him. If every part of me, was just for him. "I got lost along the way. Through my darkness. I was alone. I felt a pang of jealousy having to endure countless thoughts of love and to see how My family was around their other halves. They were happy. -Tanya came along. She is a rather pleasant creature, but not enough for me to fall in love with. Not enough to make me feel what they felt." He continued.
"And then you shot across, like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty." He held on to my hands tighter. Not letting me go, "When I saw you, when I knew you were the one for me. Everything just began to make sense. -You held out your hand and I took it. Without making sense of what I was doing. "
"I felt the same way," I admitted, interrupting him. "Bella, Denali was never the one. I knew it, Rosalie knew it, and she knew it too. This might be juvenile and human-like, but Tanya and I are no longer an item."
"Oh," I replied. They were over. I laughed. "And I thought Emma was the human,"
"Bella," Edward said in his previous tone. Ignore my joking tone. Crap, maybe I was juvenile. "I love you. And I want to be with you. Forever. For the first time in almost a century I feel hope. "
"I…I love you too Edward. I dream about being with you for all eternity. " I closed the space between us. I looked up to that perfect face of his, looked deeply into those eyes that can cause me to melt when they gape back at me. I pressed my forehead against his, savoring the moment.
"Everyday of Forever" He pressed his lips softly to mine. And we heard a cheer explode from inside. Damn Pixie.
