Edward's point of view
Her eyes instantly widened and she lifted her head, staring at me in surprised.
Oh crap. Oh crap. Oh crap. I chanted in my head over and over again. Why was I so stupid? This was a frickin' new relationship and I just spitted out the three words no one says in a new relationship.
Crappity crap crap crap with another load of crap. I groaned, on the inside of course.
She started biting the bottom of her lip, lowering her head and staring at her feet. "Love you, too," she muttered under her breath. She breathed in shakily.
Everything seemed to freeze in that one moment as my mind tried to process what she had just said. When it finally did, my mind had no idea how to react. I wanted to jump up and down, yelling to the world that the woman I love had just admitted that she loved me as well. I wanted to call my family and tell them the amazing new. I wanted to jump off a building because, at that moment, I felt like I could fly. Instead, I was frozen there, in shock.
"Really?" I finally asked, pronouncing the two syllables slowly. My mind was somehow working overtime just to make my mouth and voice work simultaneously.
She nodded, her cheeks red. "Yeah. Really."
I wrapped my arms around her waist and lifted her onto my shoulder, laughing freely. I was spinning around excitedly, the world turning into a blur.
She squealed and squirmed, hitting my back with her small hands. "Put me down you brute."
"No. Not yet!" I said.
When I was tired, I collapsed onto the couch with her still on my shoulder. I slowly lowered her onto the seat and looked at her sheepishly.
Her cheeks were flushed and her hair was a mess, tangled everywhere. She was smiling though. "You're lucky I love you too much to kill you."
I chuckled, bringing her closer to me and burying my face into the crook of her neck. My heart was swelling up in my chest. "You don't know how much you make me."
"I think I have an idea," she whispered.
I pulled away and rested my forehead on hers.
She brought her finger up and touched the tip of my nose, and then hers. "I think I know cuz you make me feel the same way. Even if we're moving a little too fast."
We sat grinning like idiots for about an hour until her stomach ruined the moment. We decided to stay in for the day, just enjoying each other instead of going out into the world that was probably currently filled with chaos.
I made pancakes with chocolate chips while she sliced the strawberries. We talked and talked about unimportant things because those where the things that wouldn't ruin the moment. I learned that she carried a blanket around with her in her backpack until the seventh grade. I also learned that the blanket went back into her backpack after she started college. I told her about my pet turtle that I had when I was younger and how I had carried him around wherever I went in the house. I also told her how I accidentally dropped him in the toilet. We were laughing and eating and having a great time. I couldn't remember the last time I was so happy.
"So, do you want to start working on the song today or wait?" I asked, taking a bite of the pancakes. I was watching her closely as she continued adding more whipped cream even though she obviously had more than enough on her plate.
"I guess today would be fine. I don't think I have to be anywhere here today." She added in a handful of chocolate chips and cut up strawberries before taking a large bite.
She was small but she sure could eat.
"Do you have any ideas?"
She shrugged. "No," she said, covering her mouth with her hand since she was still chewing. She quickly continued chewing and swallowed. "You're the professional, not me. Why don't you come up with an idea and you tell me."
"I don't know either," I admitted, noticing the whipped cream stuck to the side of her mouth. I smiled and leaned in to kiss the whipped cream away.
She smiled sheepishly, blushing.
"Do you have any lines to put in?"
She shook her head. "Not really."
"Are you sure? You don't feel any strong emotions right now?"
She tilted her head to the side. "Other than hunger and irritation that you're bombarding me with endless questions?" She bit the bottom of her lip. "Maybe happiness?"
I smiled, looking down at my breakfast.
We quickly finished breakfast and washed and dried the dishes before crashing back onto the couch where we lounged around, watching TV.
It was around noon when I started getting hungry again. I glanced at Bella, who was sleeping soundly with her head resting on my shoulder. Her breath was soft and even and the peaceful look on her voice cause my heart to swell.
I brushed her bangs away from her face and placed at kiss on her temple. As I looked at her, I knew that I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life. Everyday of every month of every year of every lifetime.
I grinned widely it instantly came into my mind. I maneuvered away, careful not to wake her and found and blank piece of paper and started writing.
