A/N: I'm going to create a play list for this story so the song for this chapter is called Poison and Wine by The civil wars check it out it is an AMAZING song totally sets the tone for this chapter. Enjoy and review
You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Oh
Your mouth is poison
Your mouth is wine
You think your dreams are the same as mine
It had been a few weeks since the fishing incident and Bella found herself sitting outside of a café with Rosalie and Alice who had become her new best friend. They were gossiping over the people who walked by and the current events in their lives.
Rosalie was just quizzing on how things were going with Edward when Alice raised her own brow in interest.
" Yes Bella please do tell me how things are going with my dear brother. I hardly hear from him and when I do he sounds like he is on cloud nine."
Rosalie snorted taking a sip of her coffee giving Bella a curious look. No matter how hard she tried to hide it she knew this was one she couldn't hide. The color of her face gave her away.
She felt the heat creep from her neck and spread across her cheeks. " Um things are good we are good. It's not like we are dating or anything but it's good…"
Rosalie cackled like a hen. " What's good Bella…Boning him."
Alice crinkled her nose in distaste before she too cackled around just like Rosalie.
" No we are not doing that but um we have been together just once though."
Alice suddenly became very serious as she tried to read more into Bella's expression.
" So what happened….how long ago did this happen. You said it only happened once…was it not good…I'm sorry I should be asking details since this is my brother we are talking about here but…I can't help but be curious."
Bella sat still for a moment deep in thought before she got the nerve to answer her friends questions.
" It happened almost four weeks ago. And it was amazing Alice never in my life have I felt so many things at once."
Rose smiled at her friend she too could see it radiating out of her every pore. Alice was casually glancing between Rose and Bella seeming to speculate a few things before speaking again.
" Bella are you feeling well?" Bella sucked in a quick breath before focusing her attention back upon her tea.
" No Alice I feel a bit off but it will pass." Alice nodded her head throwing Bella a sweet smile.
" Alright then Bella well you take care of yourself get some rest. I expect to see you ladies tomorrow for dinner at my moms. Love you both."
Alice hurried off to her car leaving Rose and Bella to say their goodbyes.
Bella drove home a lot slower than usual something was off but she couldn't quite point out what. When she finally arrived home Edward was sitting in the living room reading the paper.
" Hey Bella, how was lunch your lunch with the ladies?"
Bella slumped down into the chair before him closing her eyes quickly as the room began to spin.
" Oh it was good you know how it is with those two. Gossip. Alice informed me we are having dinner with your family tomorrow."
Edward nodded crossing the room to take Bella's hand.
" Come on love you look exhausted your colors a little off too I'm sure you could use some rest."
The next morning Bella awoke feeling much better than she had the night before. Edward was still asleep when she awoke so she decided to do something nice for him and decided to prepare him breakfast.
Edward rolled over expecting to find Bella warmly tucked under the covers but was greeted with cool sheets. Finally deciding he didn't want to be in bed anymore he sat up and stretched before heading down the hallway.
She was standing over the stove in a pair of plaid pajamas her hair laying in a soft braid over her shoulder. Her face was lightly flushed and perched on the end of her nose was his glasses. Carefully walking behind her he wrapped his arms around her waist placing a kiss on her shoulder.
" Morning Bella." Bella smiled leaning her head back to rest on his shoulder.
" Morning Edward how did you sleep?" Edward smiled walking around to sit at the bar and enjoy a cup of coffee.
" I um slept good until I woke up and someone wasn't in bed. You could have stayed in bed Bella." Bella shook her head back and forth.
" No Edward your always doing such nice things for me so I wanted to make you breakfast. I was going to bring it to you in bed but someone decided to be impatient."
Edward jumped up leaning over to kiss Bella's nose.
" Where are you going?"
Edward smiled his mischievous smile his green eyes twinkling with joy. " I am going back to bed so you can bring me breakfast."
Bella walked into the bedroom to find Edward sprawled out across the bed. His eyes were closed and his hand rested on her lower abdomen. Bella scooted on the bed next to him lightly running her fingers through his hair.
" Edward get up I have breakfast for you."
He quickly popped an eye open receiving an amazing smile from Bella. She set his plate down for him as she swung her leg onto the bed to enjoy her own meal. After a breakfast of strawberry waffles with eggs and bacon they sat in bed just enjoying their morning.
Edward watched as Bella sipped her coffee humming with pleasure. Her eyes closed and as the sunlight bounced around illuminating her from behind like a halo. He watched as she sat perfectly content with herself. She was the total opposite of Tanya.
Bella was warm and friendly, compassionate and thoughtful. She was dark where as Tanya was light. Edward had fallen for Tanya for the obvious reasons she was beautiful or at least he use to think so. Tanya was tall so very tall with legs that went on for miles. She was blond oh so blond. Her blue eyes were different than his sister Alice's. Alice had ocean blue eyes deep and dark like sapphires. Tanya's were ice blue and they fit her personality . She had a very rough and abrasive exterior only warming to those that were directly connected to her. She was after all Russian.
She wasn't compassionate for anyone other than herself she worked high to get to the top and made sure to let everyone know that's where she would always be. She looked down her perfect nose at everyone and wouldn't bother with those lesser than herself. Everything about her was severe from her hair, to her clothes to her car. How he had stayed with her for so long he'd never know but now he could see his life being better without her around.
Bella on the other hand was not cold she had warmth radiating from her. She always cared for herself before others giving up a lot of time in her life to care for her father and make sure he knew he was not alone. She never looked down upon anyone himself included after all that happened simply took him for who he was in the moment.
Even after loosing a child she never gave up she continued to push on and care for others.
Bella chose that moment to open her eyes and notice Edward seriously studying her. She smiled as her eyelids fluttered closed again as the sunlight ran down her chest. Edward crawled across the bed hovering over Bella as she basked in the light. He leaned forward pressing a kiss to her throat before pressing her back into the mattress.
Bella smiled a brilliant smile before her eyes fluttered closed again. Edward cradled her head in his arms as he trailed the most gentle kisses along her neck. Bella's hands lifted to run her fingers through his hair. She could tell by the look on his face he was fighting something she just wasn't sure what that something was.
She took his face in her hands and turned him to face her directly, before brushing a strand of hair from his face. His eyelids fluttered closed but she had seen all the hurt in them. The un sureness of what was going on between the two of them and the fear. Her hands danced lightly across his closed eyelids causing him to open them for her. She shook her head at him.
" Please don't shut me out….Edward please…it's me."
Sighing he settled on top of her and held her as if his life depended upon it. It felt like if he let go he would loose himself, and Edward knew if he lost himself again it would be the end of him. He was scared because he had come to realize his life didn't stand a chance without the woman currently in his arms.
They made love that morning it was soft and gentle. The gesture said so much without a word ever being said. It was a perfect moment between two people who needed each other more than life itself.
A/N: *hides* so how did I do….thought we could use a tender moment that still explained something's don't worry we'll have some drama again later but right now we are at a mutual good point in the story…remember please review…please I beg!
