Chapter 4:
He stood up from me and sat near me. I was still confused, what did he mean? We can't do this? I sat and leaned my body up to his. He hugged me and kissed my forehead.
"What do you mean Edward? Is it because you are an angel?" I couldn't believe my own words.
"Not only that Bella. But yes it is a part of that. Do you believe in Guardian Angels love?" He took my face in his hands and looked into my eyes.
"I didn't before….but now with you here, yes I do Edward" I said with a serious voice. I did believe it now. He was sent from heaven, for me.
He smiled my favourite crooked smile. I was dazzled again, and then I remembered something really important one of the best days of my life.
It was winter, everything was covered in snow. I hate cold, but when it comes to snow I act like a little kid. After we went out for a big walk and played in the snow, he beat me a dozen of times… but I didn't mind. He was faster anyways. He took me inside our house and we sat near our fireplace. He brought us two cups of hot chocolate. And then he started kissing me, as always his kisses made me melt and lose my senses. I wanted him as close as possible. We made love. Every time it was different, better, every time I needed him more, I was realizing that my life without him couldn't exist. After we made love, I was cuddling into his arms, and we stayed silent for a long time, we weren't sleeping, we were just laying there together, listening to each other's heart beating, listening to our breathing, just living and appreciating the moment that we were together. That day it was different though. He spoke to me.
"Bella, you know that you are the most important person in my life. You are my life. So I decided that I have to do something" he was slightly anxious and I had no idea why.
"What are you getting at Edward?" I kissed his lips and stood up on him while asking.
"Isabella Marie Swan do you want to spend the rest of your life with me? Do you want to marry me?" he grabbed a small box from the pocket of his jeans that was near him on the floor and opened it for me. There was the most beautiful ring I ever saw. It was a diamond heart with our names inscribed in it. All I could do was to say
"Yes I do Edward" my eyes got teary, as did his and we started kissing again, he put the ring on my finger, and we made love again.
As the memory slowly faded away, he told me "I wish we had the time to get married Bella. I wish I could be your husband. "
"I wish that too Edward, with all my heart." Before I got too emotional he kissed my forehead.
"I am your Guardian Angel Bella. All the people in the world have one. That will protect them till the day they die. Although people can't see them, but as you see we do exist"
"Then how can I see you?"
"I asked them, it doesn't matter who they are, to let me help you and be here for you. I wanted you to see me, because I knew that it was then that when you could understand me and let me help you. The other people cannot see me. Only you can, at least for now" he looked down, and frowned.
"What do you mean for now?" I squeezed his hand.
"When you will not need me anymore, I will disappear in a sense that you will not be able to see me anymore. I will always be near you, but you won't be able to see me, to feel me. It will be as if I don't exist. Technically I don't…" he sighed. I wanted to comfort him; I wanted to be in his place.
"And what is exactly the help you will give me Edward?" I lifted his face towards mine.
"I will help you live." He was serious and pleasant while saying that. Help me live? No Edward, no life.
"And how can you do that, genius feather guy?" I joked. He laughed and shook his wings. I laughed and touched them. I still couldn't believe that my Edward had turned into an angel. Specifically my Guardian Angel. In a way he always was, but now he was literally. I didn't want to talk more about him saving me, or leaving me, so before he could answer my question I said
"The ring Edward, I left it home." I frowned.
"Oh I am sure it survived" he smiled" It's a tough ring, very good diamond one" he winked at me.
"I want to get it back Edward. It's my engagement ring and I want it where it belongs on my finger"
"You should have thought about that before you get it out that night" his voice was ironic.
"You know that the only reason I took it off was because before I had to shower. I always take it off when I have a shower, and before I can put my pajamas on you grabbed me and…"I blushed and at the same time I just wanted to kiss him one more time and be his. He laughed and said
"If there wasn't that fire and had I not died , that night would have been epic, love" he winked at me again. God how much I loved him .Every part of me, loved him. I was his, from head to toes, my soul, I belonged to him. I didn't care if he was dead I would never love anyone as much as I loved him, actually never anyone in the history of the world loved anyone as much as I loved him, my Guardian Angel.
" I am not going to be with any other man in my life Edward, you will be the only one." I was serious. I was never that serious in my life. He looked at me ,touched my cheek and before he could speak I kissed him. Even if that would be the last time, even if I was about to go to hell after that, I needed to kiss him, I needed him to know, that he was the one, the only one and that he was amazing.
