Three Days Later

Bella's POV

Edward never lets me knock on the Cullen's door anymore. He thinks it's too impersonal, and that if they trusted me, that I should just walk in. It also, he realized, helped me with easing the pain of that day. Somehow, letting myself in his house destroys the memory of waiting that day and finding out—well, you know.

"I love you." I was now strolling to the couch for the Cullen's annual movie night—every Friday. Edward held onto my waist as I walked and he whispered seductively in my ear.

"I know." I answered back easily; he laughed and picked me up into his lap on the sofa. The others were starting to appear. Alice and Jasper came down from their room in a flash; Esme and Carlisle were already seated opposite us, and Rosalie and Emmett were heading back from the garage. Rosalie had oil spilt on her new blouse, and there was some fuss as we heard Emmett trying to apologize.

"If you would just learn to fix the cars yourself I wouldn't have ended up with this stain! The blouse is white and the oil is black; you men may not understand the importance of a quality shirt but this will not come out!" Rosalie's yelling was unbearably loud and quick; it almost hurt my ears. Yet, this quarrel reminded me of how normal they were compared to others. It cheered my day up—and it wasn't only based on the fact of Rosalie's displeasure.

Emmett watched as Rosalie ran to change into her pajamas—useless, but comfortable I assumed. He came in the living room and sank to the floor for the movie.

We waited until Rosalie came back; about two minutes. Relatively long considering vampire speed.

"Finally Rose, did you try on your whole wardrobe?" Emmett exclaimed as she came back into the room. She muttered something about "impatient vampire", and sat on the black leather chair by herself.

We started the film and it lulled on; it was an action packed thriller, and I seemed to be the only one flinching at the scarier scenes. Although I'm not really the squeamish type, this movie had way too much graphics as I would have liked.

Every time there was a rough scene, Edward squeezed my hand gently, letting me know it was alright. Suddenly, I wished there were many more of them…

I was just concentrating on breathing while Edward's minty breath slid down my neck, causing goose bumps to emerge, when the credits rolled upward on the black screen.

"Good plot line; too much gore." Esme said simply; the CD slid effortlessly out of the player and I reluctantly sat up straight.

I lifted my sleeve and gazed at the time; it was a little past eleven. I should've been heading home a half hour earlier…

"Bella, I can call Charlie and you could stay here for tonight if you want." Alice had Jasper's arm in the crook of her own and seemed relatively anxious to recieve an answer. Jasper seemed indifferent.

I heard Rosalie give an audible groan and Edward hissed in response.

"Yes, Bella, you are welcome to stay." Carlisle stated simply, holding Esme's hand from across the room.

"No, it's alright. I better get home to Charlie…although I might take you up on that offer tomorrow night." They smiled. They wanted me to stay, and I really did want to, but Charlie would want me home and plus, this way I could get some quality sleep with Edward by my side and no Alice, as much as I loved her, begging at my head to go late night shopping.

Edward wrapped his arm around my waist and we headed to his infamous silver Volvo.

He whispered into my ear, suddenly making my body grow numb. "I thought Charlie was out this evening…"

I started to walk backwards, pulling his right hand in mine, in my own somewhat enticing way.

"He is."

Suddenly there was a force, telling me to kiss him. Kiss him, kiss him, kiss him… Somehow I knew that he heard the same, for his face was expressionless.

I was going to first, but he was too fast for me; he pulled my hand into his arms in one quick movement and my lips were against his. This kiss was absolute and perfect. There was no doubt, no lack of trust; it reminded me of our first kiss. Easy and beautiful.

I turned to the woods, reminded of her. Something about the influence my mind just had… And there I saw her. It was almost a dream the way the fog engulfed her. Suitcase and all, she drifted slowly away, back into the forest; leaving for the rest of eternity.

***

That night, I was wrapped effortlessly in Edward's arms in a peaceful slumber. The thoughts that roamed in my mind were of the utmost importance. Yet, all I could conjure up was Edward's arms around me once again. In my silent reverie Tanya slid out of focus, waving a slight sorrowful goodbye and whisked eerily into the clouds. Jacob, becoming head of the pack, was happy on his own. He waved merrily, yet regretfully, and left after Tanya. It was just Edward and I, kissing passionately in our meadow without a worry in the world. My skin was white and flawless, and my family—the Cullen's—waited patiently for us to join them on the other side of the fog.

Within ten minutes, my love's lullaby swiftly drove me back into that blissful dream—the dream that would soon become a reality.
