Recap:

She seemed like someone who was under a spell. She kept her eyes locked on mine as she slowly leaned in. I closed my eyes as her scent caressed my face, filling me with a sense of warm happiness. I was almost gone but I heard and felt her whisper, "I love you too…forever," against my lips.

Bliss

(No short poem here, you'll see why)

EPOV

"Edward? Are you okay?" Bella asked as a small giggle escaped her lips. We were in the car. I was driving one handed while holding Bella's hand tightly in my other. Our fingers were intertwined as they could possibly could.

I looked at her and she was watching me, I knew what she meant. Ever since we left the hospital I had the widest, unwavering smile on my face. I couldn't seem to hold my happiness back. I'd been broken for too long to contain my smiles now. I squeezed her hand and if possible smiled wider than I already was. "I'm just… happy." I shrugged. Well, that was the biggest understatement of the century. The joy that filled me was just too much to put in words.

Her answering smile was dazzling. "Me too," she whispered, returning my squeeze. I snapped myself out of the gaze of her endless brown eyes to focus on driving. I could drive without even glancing at the road, but Bella was a distraction. And not an easy one to resist.

I parked in front of the restaurant and turned off the heater. I quickly ran out of the car to open her side of the door before anyone else did, as I didn't want her to be embarrassed. I leaned in and slipped my arms under her knees and behind her back. I gave her a smile and she blushed, which caused my smile to widen.

I couldn't feel her in my arms, she was much too light. But I could feel the heat of her blood, the pulsing, the rapid beating of her heart. I also felt the light shiver that through her as I pulled her out of the car. Even with the large sweater she had on, she could still feel the difference in temperature of the car and outside. I figured that my body temperature did nothing to help that, so I hurried to get her into the warm restaurant.

"Hmm, light as a feather and warm as fire," I murmured in her hair. She tightened her arms around my neck and I felt her smile against my neck.

I pushed the door with my foot and entered the large restaurant. There was a small desk with a man standing behind it. The man was tall and balding. His eyes were black and his face had a serene smile.

"Hello," he said politely, and as his eyes fell on Bella in my arms his smile widened.

Newly weds? No, he looks too young. Maybe in love.

I smiled at his thoughts, how I wished his first assumption would be correct. "Hello, reservation for Mr. Cullen, please?" Having a psychic sister had its advantages.

He looked at the long list in front of him for a few seconds and then looked up with the smile still on his face, "yes, sir. A private booth I presume,"

I love Alice. I smiled and nodded.

"Follow me, please" He opened the door and held it for us. The place was huge and was in different shades of brown and green. I passed tables which were filled with all different kinds of people. Family tables with laughing and cheering. Tables for only two who did nothing but gaze lovingly at each other. People who sat alone, reading a book or listening to their Ipods or just eating. A lot of people stared at us and I felt Bella blush and burry her face in the crook of my neck. Her warmth almost made me shiver.

Aw, I can almost feel his love for her. Now why won't John do that to me? a random female thought. I chuckled and held Bella tighter to me.

"What?" Bella asked for the reason of my short laugh.

"I think we are going to be the reason behind some break ups tonight. A lady is jealous of our love and wondered why her fiancée isn't giving her your same treatment." I whispered in her ear. She laughed quietly with me and reached up to give me a quick peck on my cheek. I smiled widely.

See how happy she is? Why isn't he making me that happy? another lady thought.

I chuckled again, "Definitely the reason behind break ups tonight," I mumbled.

We had reached the booths at the very back of the restaurant. The man led us to one at the very corner of the room. Bella and I had complete privacy. I liked that.

Thank you, Alice, I thought.

"Here you are. A waiter will be with you in a minute." The man gave a tiny bow and departed silently.

"Thank you," I told him just before he left. I sat Bella down carefully. When she I was sure she was comfortable, I sat opposite her. She struggled to get free from her many layers of clothes. First she untied the scarf from around her neck, then she pulled off her ice-cap, revealing her soft hair, standing out in different places but curled in the end of each lock. Shining and mesmerizing; I couldn't help but wonder where she came from.

But then, she unzipped her sweater and my smile fell, my expression turning from happiness to blankness. She took off the sweater and pulled out her bare arms. I couldn't help but to gape at her. She had one of the most stunning dresses on. The hem of the neck was traced exactly around her neck in a circle. There were shimmering shapes on the hem that attracted my eye at once. Then, from the center of the circle, the dress started. It was soft and flowed straightly till her waist, where it wrapped with the same circle that was around her neck. The glistening shapes were a little more around her waist but still amazing. The dress's color was ranging between the shades of brown and beige. Stunning!

"Edward!" Bella's voice snapped me out of my utter gapping. I noticed that her blush stained her cheek and arms. Her hair that was almost elbow-length now, covered her bare shoulders, and flowed softly with the rest of the dress.

"Wow," I whispered, "you look so…" I struggled to find a word that fit but their simply wasn't any that would. "Wow," I repeated, at loss for words.

She smiled and ducked her head a little, "thank you," she whispered self-consciously.

Focus Edward! I shouted in my head. Yes, yes, I had to focus.

"Hello," A male voice said from beside me. I looked up to find a waiter standing with two menus in his hands. He set them in front of us and said, "I'm Garry and I will be your waiter for tonight,"

Bella looked up and smiled politely when he set the menu in front of her.

Whoa! That's some chic. The man thought.

I gritted my teeth, was I that invisible?! "When we're ready to order, I'll tell you," I said with the most polite smile I could manage as I tried to stop my eyes from glaring at him.

Huh, possessive. "All right, then," he said as he walked back.

"What's wrong?" Bella whispered. Apparently my efforts to tame the glare were useless.

"Nothing, just looks like we have another Mike Newton on our hands." I took a deep breath to calm myself and forced myself to stop glaring at the back of the waiter. Bella laughed lightly and shrugged it off.

"Where are we anyway?"

"Zytuna." (A/N: For all you Egyptians out there, yup! I do mean Zytuna. Lol. You can laugh hehehe) I said casually.

"You're kidding!" she said with eyes wide, "the best pasta restaurant?"

"That's the one." I nodded with a sheepish grin as I anticipated her next words.

"But it's too expensive!" she groaned. My grin widened; Bella didn't disappoint.

"And the problem is…?"

She rolled her eyes and opened the menu. I smirked.

"Hm, the Fettuccini Fungi sounds nice," she mumbled after a few minutes. I didn't find the need to comment. She was silent for a few minutes as she looked through the menu then she nodded, "Ok, then. I'm ready to order."

"Did you pick your dessert?" I asked with an innocent smile.

She glared at me, "Lunch is enough Edward," her voice was firm but I knew she wasn't really mad at me.

I put my elbow on the table and rested my chin on my fist, "Well, if you do not pick, I will. And mind you, I will pick by the picture so you will be the one who will suffer the consequences." I raised an eyebrow and dared her to refuse.

"You are mean." She pouted adorably.

"That face won't work. Not tonight." I chuckled as I pushed the menu towards her again.

She sighed and opened it again. "Fine, I picked one, happy?"

"A little," I grinned.

"Are you ready to order?" The irritating male came again.

"Yes," I said as politely as I could manage. I looked at Bella.

"I'll take the Fettuccini Fungi, please." She said calmly.

The waiter wrote down that and looked at me for my order, I half glared at Bella, with a smirk on my face, "And for your dessert?"

I could see that she was fighting a smile, trying to look angry, "Chocolate chips."

I smiled triumphantly. The waiter looked at me again. "Nothing for me, Thank you."

And he left. I extended my hand and opened my palm up for her. She slipped her hand in mine and smiled. "You know…" she started, "this kinda reminds me of the first time you took me out for dinner," she said thoughtfully.

I smiled, "the difference is that the waiter is fantasizing about you. I'm safe." I mocked a look of relief. She smacked my arm with her free hand and I chuckled.

We were silent for a few moments and I was wishing that the waiter would be late so I would have a reason to complain about him. However, all evil plans flew right out of my head once I met Bella's eyes. They were full of love and kindness. How I had missed this.

"I missed you so much…" she whispered as if she had read my mind.

"I missed you too, terribly. More so than I could ever tell you."

She hesitated a little, "I think I can…guess." There was a little cease between her eyebrows that I did not understand.

"What do you mean?"

The look in her eyes turned a little to concern and wariness, "I don't want to bring back painful… memories… but…" She bit her lip.

"You can talk about whatever you desire Bella. I do not have secrets from you," I vowed.

She chewed on her lip for a few moments more, making me edgier by the second. Then she decided to just ask, "What happened to you? When you were trying to… kill yourself, I mean. You weren't… " She struggled for words and I remembered that I had treated her improperly when she was trying to stop me. I felt ashamed from how weak I was.

"Oh," I breathed, how could I explain it to her? How could I tell her in a way that she wouldn't think I was crazy?

"You don't have to tell me," she assured me when she saw my struggle.

I shook my head, "I told you, I have no secrets from you. I just fail to find a way to explain," I admitted.

She waited silently.

I took a deep breath and stared at out intertwined hands as I talked, "you see… when I left…" I tried to hold back the wince but I guess that it showed since her hand tightened around mine, "I left a part of me with you. That part was my humanity. The part that you had brought back in me…" I whispered, "I was left with my pain, my anger, my self-disgust. All these feelings provoked the vampire in me. It was like being a new born all over again. I had no control over my thoughts, feelings, doings. Nothing. It was always a battle in which my pain won." I paused, before continuing.

"I did not allow my family to see that side of me… It was bad enough that they had to live with my pain. So I locked myself in my room. Hiding from the world and protecting it at the same time. I would only come out after hours of Esme's begging to go hunt…" I smiled sadly as I remembered the sound of her motherly concerned pleas, "and even then, I didn't get out unless I was absolutely sure that that side of me was firmly controlled. And that was a task not easily done. Only achieved by…" I lifted my eyes to meet her concerned ones, "thinking of you…" I whispered.

"Me?" She whispered astonished.

"Yes, you." I smiled sadly, I reached across the table and pressed my hand to her cheek, "Somehow the thought of your smile, your eyes, your love… it brought me back. It was always a fight that I willingly lost. But… when I badly wanted to win, all I had to do was think of you." My smile was happier now that I saw hers. I also saw her tears and I knew that they weren't tears of pain, but tears of love. I smiled as I wiped them with my thumbs.

"I love you, Isabella. And there's nothing that could ever change that. Just like the sun can't shine at night, my love can't stop growing." Her free held mine to her face as she smiled widely.

World war three could have started in this restaurant and I wouldn't have noticed. I was too lost in her eyes to notice anything but the emotion in them and what they caused in the pit of my stomach.

I heard someone clear their throat. The waiter was here with Bella's food, but Bella didn't seem to care. "Leave it anywhere, please," She whispered without even looking at him. I smiled almost smug when I heard the annoyance in his head. Take that! I had to fight to not say it out loud.

He struggled to find a place to put the plate, with our hands intertwined on the table and my hand on her cheek. He set the plate carefully between out arms and left quietly.

There was something I wanted to do. I gave her hand a light squeeze as I pulled it away reluctantly.

"Excuse me?" I said to a man that was standing a few feet away. He was wearing the same uniform of the waiters. Green pants and a brown shirt. He turned my way.

"Can I help you, sir?" he asked.

I looked at the large black piano in the middle of the restaurant and asked, "May I use the piano?" I felt Bella's questioning gaze on me but I just smiled at her.

"Of course, sir. If that is what you want." He sounded a little surprised. I realized that that wasn't a common request.

"Thank you," I said as I stood up, Bella still looked at me in a confused manner. I just ducked to carry her without a word.

I walked with her in my arms to the piano, barely noticing the people who stared at us. I was in my own world with Bella. No one else was there. I sat down on the small bench and tried to fill it all, so the only place Bella would have would be on my lap. I could feel her blush, she didn't like the attention. I opened the piano as I stared into her eyes, and could see that she wanted to hide. It was clear, the people where making her uncomfortable. My arms reached for the keys from both sides of her and I didn't even look at them. Just her.

"When I am with you…"

I started in a whisper as my fingers started to drift over the keys slowly,

"It's like the whole world doesn't exist…"

I touched other keys, playing with the notes a little before starting her lullaby. Something in her eyes changed. Like she was mesmerized, I did not see how that was possible because she mesmerized me.

"Your love feels so true…"

I touched my lips to her hair,

"So powerful, so impossible to resist…"

I felt her warm hand run through my hair softly,

"It makes me wonder…What are you…?"

My fingers almost tripped on the keys as I felt her breathe quicken against my neck. Warm and scented…

"A wondrous mist...?

Would that fit?"

I touched my forehead to hers and pushed it back gently, staring into her intense, tearful, love-filled eyes.

"An angel from heaven…?

Would that assist?"

I smiled a little at her amazed expression, taking the tones to a lower note,

"But that would not do…

Why would you be dismissed…?"

Her tears shook a little in her eyes and started to fall down her cheek,

"A shinning star…?

Not easily missed…"

I played one handed as I lifted my hand to wipe her tear from her cheek as I continues to take the notes to a softer tone,

"A crystal drop of rain…?

That would pass unkissed?"

I pushed her hair out of her face, stroking it softly,

"What comes out of this endless list?

What are you, I must insist?

But then…I concluded it…"

I was too lost in her eyes and she in mine that I forgot about playing and took her face in my hands as I whispered fiercely,

"You are neither an angel nor a mist

Neither you are a star nor a drop of rain unkissed,

You are something more beautiful, more wondrous

That continue to subsist,

You fill me with love

That would never amiss

You are unique

Too wonderful to actually exist,

So let me tell you this

Before this mesmerizing dream ends

I love you so much

And I hope that causes you what it causes me…

…Bliss…"

Bella's face was wet with tears. She had my face in her hands just as I had hers in mine. The room erupted in applause that I barely noticed as I lost all coherent thought from the emotion that filled her eyes. I leaned in to meet her lips with mine.

"Bella," I whispered as I felt her tear on my cheek. A small smile appeared on my lips. Bliss…

A/N: So nervous! I hope you like it. I just wrote this stupid poem and I hope it didn't ruin everything. I wanted something unique for both of them. Please don't be too mad at me. I do the best I can, I'm no professional writer so please don't be disappointed. And I really hope that you didn't feel it was pointless fluff.

Oh, and please vote in my poll, I need your help in next chappy.
