Chapter 18-
Edward's point of view
I stared at her perfection. I didn't know how I was ever this lucky to be able to have such a woman in my life.
She was staring at my CD collection in awe, picking an album out and examined it before putting it back once in awhile.
I soft, loving smile played on my lips. She was too perfect to be real, too beautiful to be with me, but I loved her too much to let her go.
I sat on my bed with my back laying against the headboard. I wasn't impatient like I usually was with my siblings as I watched her take her time.
She turned around and smiled at me before walking towards me. She crawled onto my bed and sat beside me. I snaked my arms around her waist and pulled her onto my lap. I rested my chin on her slender shoulders and held her tight. I just held her. It felt so perfect, just being here with her. Forgetting all my worries and that everyone else existed for no one was as important to me now as she is. I closed my eyes and breathed in her intoxicating scent.
Though I wanted to stay here with her all day, I knew that we couldn't.
"What do you want to do today, love?" I asked her and she shrugged her shoulders.
"Can we take a walk?" she asked.
"Whatever you want," I said before scooping her up bridal style, causing her to let out a shriek of surprise.
"Edward, I can walk fine by myself," she protested slapping my shoulder playfully.
"Yes, but then I wouldn't be holding you," I said simply and walked down the stairs.
"I'm not very light," she warned.
"You're light as I feather," I interjected. She was quiet for awhile and then let out a sigh. She wrapped her arms around me and laid her head on my chest.
It was a beautiful day outside. The sun was shining with the sky a clear blue and the wind blew gently. The birds were chirping cheerfully while chasing one another and a little squirrel scurried past our feet.
I was staring at the way Bella's hair was flying in the light wind, shining and tint of red in the sun light.
We were walking around aimlessly, her looking at the scenery while I looked at the beautiful goddess walking beside me. We stopped in front of a wishing well, where a littering amount of coins covered the bottom. I turned to see that Bella had pulled a coin out and was closing her eyes. I was confused. Didn't she say that she had everything she ever wanted? What made her change her mind? I was disappointed as well. What if I wasn't the one that she had wanted. What if I wasn't enough?
She threw the coin into the fountain and turned to me with a bright smile.
"What did you wish for?" I asked, curiosity ringing out, but she just shook her head.
"I can't tell you," she said.
"And why not?"
"Because then it won't come true."
"Please?" I asked, turning my full persuading mode on her, but she stayed strong.
"Nope."
"Then I'm going to have to make you tell me," I teased and began tickling her. She let out a shriek and ran away, but I knew I was faster. I caught up to her in no time and caught her waist. I started tickling her and she collapsed onto the grass laughing. I rolled her over so that she laid on her back and started tickling her sides.
"Please... stop! I c-can't breath!" she said. I stopped and rested my hand on her side, noticing the position that we were in. I shifted my weight so that I was hovering over her and stared into her eyes.
"Please?" I whispered. She stared at me before nodding.
"I wished..." she hesitated and I motioned for her to continue. "I wished that you loved me like I love you."
I stared at her, slowly, the words sunk in. She started looking uncomfortable and tried to push my off her, but I didn't move.
"I know I shouldn't have said anything," she whispered before a tears slipped down her cheek. Why was she crying. Oh yeah, I didn't answer her.
My lips pulled into the widest smile that I have ever smiled and I pressed my lips against hers. She froze before responding to the kiss. She wrapped her arms around my neck and tangled her hand into my hair.
Now, I wanted to stay here forever. With my love.
Oh my gosh! I updated two days in a row. I am so happy. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Good bye. I gotta go do homework now. Lol.
