I really have to do some errands and I am only given an hour to use the PC, so this is all what I came up. I promise next chap would be longer and eventful.
Enjoy!

Where Are You Now
Chapter 21 – He Remembers?
(EPOV)
"What about now? Do we have a relationship?" I asked Bella.
"We're friends," she answered indubitably.
"Friends?" I asked again.
"Yes," she confirmed.
But I don't feel friendship with her…it's so much more.
"But why do I feel this way with you. Why you make me feel like this? There is something about you that's so…intriguing that makes me want to learn more about you. You are the only girl that made me feel attracted so bad."
"What do you mean?" she asked anxiously.
"I think I love you," I confessed.
Shock was spread all over her face.
"What are you saying?" She seethed.
"I'm saying that my heart recognizes you. I may not remember my memories of you, but I know I have feelings for you," I said, "its fine if you cannot return my feelings, I'm willing to wait."
She remained silent. I waited until she spoke again.
"Edward…you don't have to wait. I also have feelings for you," she said shyly, and her cheeks are tinted with rose color, "but I'm not sure yet if it's love. But maybe—"
I can't believe it. She has feelings for me too. It might not be love for now, but I'll do everything that will make her feelings grow for me.
I pulled her into a hug and she rested her head on my shoulder.
"Thank you," I whispered to her ear before kissing her cheek.
"No, I should be the one to say thank you," she said sleepily and muffled a yawn.
I chuckled at her; she's so adorable just like Emerald.
"You're tired," I said softly at her.
"Yes," she admitted.
"You want me to carry you to your room?" I asked playfully.
"Nah, would it be okay if I'll stay here?"
"Hmm…What if it's not?"
"Then I'll leave now," she declared.
She pulled away from me and she stood up.
"Wait, I was just joking."
"Well, I'm not up for jo—"
Before she could even continue, I carried her back to the bed. I lay beside her, and she nuzzled her face to my chest.
Oh God, this is so heavenly. If I could stay here forever, I would.
After just a few minutes, Bella fell asleep. She looks so peaceful and she looks like an angel. I know I don't deserve her, someone as beautiful and as kind as her. But she likes me too, and that will make me do anything to be deserving of her. I'll do everything that would make her feel happy.
"Edward," she mumbled.
I looked carefully at her. She's still sleeping.
She said my name again.
Oh, she talks when she's asleep. This is so interesting.

(BPOV)
I can't believe it. I just admitted to Edward that I have feelings for him.
Well, first of all, I have no idea that he has feelings for me…he said that he loves me. I thought I would melt that time. The way he stares at me, makes, not only my knees, but all of me weak. I feel giddy all over. Yes, he affects me that much.
I was shocked, but happy at the same time. I never thought that he would like me.
I am just wondering on what would happen to the both of us now? What do we call ourselves? Our relationship? Are we going to tell the others.
And, when his memories return, will he still love me? What if he remembers Camilla again? Will he still have the same feelings for me? I'm so afraid. I'm afraid of breaking my heart in this. I know that pain is always obtained when you love. Yes, I love him and I just realized now. But I'm not going to tell him until his memories return. I want him to know who I really am, and how everything about us was. I will not take advantage of this situation. What important now is that we are together.
I think I have woken up ten minutes ago. I am aware that I am still on Edward's bed, and his bed is way softer than my bed in the guestroom.
He is still sleeping. His one arm was around my waist and the other on the pillow under his head.
I caressed his cheeks. I moved my hands to his forehead, to his eyes, and to his lips. His skin is really so soft, almost like Emerald's.
When my hands left his face, his lips formed a smile.
"You're awake," I accused.
He chuckled, and I smiled. His voice is really so sweet and I'll never get tired of hearing it.
"I enjoyed that, you have wonderful hands," he said, his eyes were still closed.
He opened his eyes. Again, I was struck by its beauty. His emerald orbs really make him looks like an angel.
"Good morning, Mr. Cullen," I said playfully.
He leaned to me, and I blushed.
"Edward, I haven't brushed my teeth yet," I said shyly.
It's embarrassing, but I haven't changed my clothes from last night, I haven't removed the make up from my face and I haven't even brushed my teeth. It's his fault I'm forgetting proper hygiene, he distracted me last night. The only things that I have changed are my shoes, because they were killing me. Maybe my breath smells like hell right now.
"I don't care," he persisted.
He closed the distance between us. Again, his lips felt so good against mine.
"Daddy!"
We both groaned in frustration. I deepened the kiss, but Edward pulled away from me.
Rejection washed all over me.
"Bella, as much as I wanted to continue, our daughter is calling me. You don't want her to break in just like what Alice did, don't you?"
"No, I do—"
I stopped talking, and I realized something.
He said something about Alice going in his room.
He remembers the 'Alice incident'!
Hmmm...what else does he remember?
Review if you want more E/B moments :)
