Chapter 8 – Part 1

Edward was leaning against his car with an angelic look in his face. God, he was looking so good, it was almost impossible.

My lullaby was emerging from inside the car, with its incredible melody, filling the space where we were in an invisible bubble.

Both of Edward's hands were occupied...one held an amazing bunch of red roses and jasmines, he knew my taste too well, which were perfectly perfuming the air with their exquisite fragrance and in his other hand, he held a tiny piece of paper with something written in it.

He looked at me, deeply in the eyes and gave a step forward. He smiled softly and handed me the note. My heart was beating so fast I thought is was going to burst through my chest and jump into his hands. He reached me with the note and signaled for me to read it. Without saying anything, he eyed me sympathetically. I took it and made a great effort to read. I was seeing really blurred words because of the tears that were starting to overflow my eyes. The note read,

'Please forgive me.

I dreamt of you when I hadn't met you.

I think of you at every single second of my endless days.

I'll be here for you even after you don't want me anymore, just to take care of you.

You are my life, my world and universe, you are my Bella. You will be forever.

I love you more than ever possible,

Your irrevocable Lion'

Oh. Now tears were running down my face, I was so touched by it that I couldn't even open my eyes.

He gave another step forward so he was just inches from me and wiped away the tears, making me open my eyes. I was speechless, completely amazed. I tried to look for words to say how I felt but they just weren't good enough.

He smiled really softly and started off, "I know that you hate surprises, but I--"

I cut him off kissing him fiercely, wrapping my arms around his neck and just showing him everything I was feeling. In that small moment the entire world revolved around him and me. We were alone, we were the center, the stars and the soft breeze of the wind. Most of all, we were happy.

I separated my lips from his, just an inch to talk, "I'm so sorry" I sobbed.

"Shh, it's okay," he said softly, giving me another kiss. "I'm the one who is sorry, I shouldn't have made you feel that way…"

"Don't ever leave me alone like that again!" I pouted.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that… I really wanted to give you some time to think and clear your mind… besides, I really needed to prepare this" He said with an apologizing tone.

"I loved the surprise, really is amazing the effect you have on me… I'm saying I love a surprise!" I laughed.

"What can I say? I think I know you a little bit…" he grinned exposing his perfect teeth.

"You are truly amazing," I whispered in his ear, "Though you are wrong in one thing." I pulled back to see his reaction and he arched his eyebrow, surprised and confused.

"I would never not want you. EVER," I stated eyeing him with sure eyes.

He grinned and stroked my cheek, I could feel it go scarlet.

"Oh," I said theatrically.

"What?" He frowned again.

"It's just that you were wrong in two things not just one," I said with a playful look.

"Oh, was I?" he teased, catching my mood.

"Mhm...it is possible to love someone more than you love me. I know a person who does," I said with a mysterious tone.

"Oh, you really think that?" he asked faking a thoughtful tone, "And who would that person be?" he asked, mild amusement in his voice.

"Me!!" I laughed and kissed him again.

We kept on kissing and giggling when the sound of a motorcycle, I knew too well, broke our perfect bubble...Jacob? Why was he here?

He stopped with a spectacular maneuver just a few feet from us. He held a really torn expression and it turned a little bit sad when he saw us together. I let Edward go and stood with my hands behind my back, clasped. Edward recomposed himself but Jacob's pained expression was still in his face. He got off the bike and walked towards us really fast.

"Hey Jake...what are you doing here? Is everything okay?" I asked, concerned. I didn't want to sound rude but he never came to Forks' school, he hated it, he never showed up without warning-well maybe he hated the fact that I was there every day of the week...and Edward too-.

"No," Jacob grumped, "We really need to talk..."
