there!

Edwards POV

Bella whispered something else but I was too far gone in what she had told me.

She saw a vampire feeding on a human being? That is wrong, she shouldn't have seen that. I would rip out the throat of anyone who would hurt my Bella, anyone who would make her witness anything so horrific. She had also seen a vampire get ripped to shreds as well, and then seen them thrown in a fire and burnt to death? What sick, sick person would make her watch that? I felt like crying.

"Bella… why have you seen those things?"

"I don't think you want to know," is all she said. "My past is my past Edward, can we not get into that now." It was obvious that she didn't want to tell me anything about her self. I felt guilty for making her say these things that so blatantly pained her, but I needed to get to the bottom of this. Know one hurt my Bella and gets away with it, not while I'm around.

"But, Bella, you shouldn't see-" she interrupted me again. She kept doing that, it was nerving really because no one, except Alice but Alice will be Alice, ever interrupted me. I didn't mind though, as it was her.

"But I have and there is nothing you can do about it now, is there?"

"No," I said reluctantly. She was right; I couldn't turn back the clock. I loved Bella and would do anything for her, yet the impossible sometimes was the impossible. But it didn't matter that I couldn't do anything now, I could make the pain go away, make her forget.

"So I pour out my heart to you and tell you that I think I am in love with you, and you change the subject, that's never a good sign," she laughed to herself lightly. WHAT! Did she… no… but, yes… I think… she said that she… loved me. I couldn't believe my ears. She had said this before and I hadn't heard? Well, I am very stupid then aren't I? I have learned a very important lesson today, always listen to Bella, it might surprise you.

I looked down at Bella to see her glance back at me sheepishly, and I smiled. The next thing I did was completely out of my control, I was just so over taken by happiness that I had to hold her, kiss her, and love her.

I swept Bella off her feet and crushed my lips to hers. I felt my whole world break, then fixed again into something so strong and so beautiful I felt like singing to the heavens in joy. They say once a vampire goes through a change so great, it is irreversible, that to shift the change could end catastrophically, causing so much pain you beg for death. I felt that change, and now fully understood it and cherished it.

She broke off from the kiss laughing. She smiled up at me in disbelief, and I smiled back, completely taken by her beauty and soulfulness.

"Bella… I think I love you to."

"Come on, we better get back or Charlie will be getting back to an empty house," she said glancing at her watch. I hadn't realized but we had been up here for hours, so not long enough in my opinion. At that comment I swung her over my shoulder, gripped her legs to my sides, and ran at full speed down the mountain. It was the best run of my life, because it was with Bella.

I got to the car about 2 minutes later. I placed a dazed Bella back onto the floor, and held her close to me. She was so very beautiful though extremely frustrating at the fact that I couldn't read her mind, what was going on in there? She smiled to herself and shook her head in disbelief. Bella looked up at me with those huge chocolate brown opals, and I smiled down at her with affection. I led Bella to my Volvo and opened the door for her to step inside; she climbed in and sat herself down, glancing back at me just before I shut the door. I rushed round to the other side at vampire speed and got into the drivers seat.

"So…" I said, pulling up the parking break and starting down the way we came.

"So…" Bella replied smiling shyly.

"What does that make us then?" I asked quietly, turning onto the main road.

"You tell me." Bella wasn't looking at me, but down at her lap with a rosy blush carefully forming on her cheeks.

"Well, I guess that makes us… I mean if you want to… a couple," I knew that if I had been human I would have blushed at the words, just like Bella was now. I had never been in a relationship of this kind before and so didn't know if I was doing it right. I wouldn't ever asked my brothers about this type of thing because I knew the answers wouldn't be what I was looking for, and so on this subject I was alone.

"I'd like that," Bella said, looking up at me and smiling.

"Me to," I told her, smiling back warmly.

Bella POV

When he said that I felt my heart lift up. He wanted us to be a couple, a couple, I couldn't believe my ears. I was definably in love with this guy. For the rest of the journey we talked. I mean I am not the chatty sort, believe me, but I couldn't shut up, he just kept throwing me questions and I answered. I felt the need to talk to him, tell him everything about me. Well, almost everything, of course I couldn't tell him about one particular thing, but he didn't ask, and for that I was grateful. The questions he gave me were easy, like what was my favorite color? And how long had I been in forks? But I could tell what the questions he really wanted to know were, but he accepted what I gave him.

"Let's talk about you," I said, getting annoyed with his pointless questions.

"Why? Your far more interesting," he agued back seriously, I ignored this.

"How long have you been a vampire?" was my first question.

"Won't you be thoroughly repulsed if you find out your dating an old man?" he said smiling, but there was a seriousness behind the words. Dating, wow. I was really dating Edward Cullen, I thought to myself both surprised and incredibly happy.

Yes, and against my better judgment to. Now you've gone and dug your self a hole, and when the dirt starts piling back in you'll be in trouble, the angel interrupted my blissful stream of thoughts suddenly, making me cringe away from the scolding.

Piss off, I thought mentally.

"I'm sorry?" said a voice besides me.

"Crap did I say that out load?" I asked, turning to Edward with an apologetic smile.

"Well, if you-"

"No, no, I wasn't talking to you," I laughed at my idiocy. I lent my head back on to the head rest, "would you believe me if I said that I was talking to my conscience?" I smiled his way and saw his face darken.

"Yes, yes I would," he said just as gravely. I sat up straight and tried to explain.

"Oh, no, not like that. Trust me that part of me has never worked. The voice in peoples heads that tells them to stay away from your kind has never been there for me, so that is one thing off your worry list. You see growing up around vampires my subconscious has programmed my mind to not really react in a… human way when a vampire is near, probably because I see them as part of nature. Though I still don't agree with killing humans when there is an alternative food supply in animals."

"You sound slightly crazy you know?"

"I know," I said smiling at him once more. "Anyway, you still haven't told me how old you are," quickly trying to change the subject.

"I was born in 1901," he said sheepishly.

"Wow, your right, I am thoroughly repulsed," I said jokingly and we laughed together. I hadn't realized but we had pulled up into my drive. I looked over to Edward and smiled embarrassed by what I was about to ask.

"Can you… I mean if you would like to…" I took a deep breath. Why was it that I could look a vampire straight in the eye when it was about to kill me? Yet I couldn't even look up from my lap to see Edwards face while I asked him in. I collected all available confidence and blurted it out, "Would you like to come in, Edward?"

I shyly looked up to see Edward with an amused expression. "Why Bella, I would gladly except your offer if it were not getting so late. If you look around it is twilight and so you must be getting home. I also expect that Charlie will be back at any minute and I doubt you want to have that conversation with him," he was looking at me with sparkling eyes. I smiled back at him.

"Well then," I climbed out the car but before I shut it I turned and leaned in through the door and said slyly, "My bedroom window always open." I shut the door and had the satisfaction of watching Edwards face turned extremely shocked. I walked up to the door, gently swaying my hips as I went, and unlocked it. When I turned back I saw an empty drive, disappointment shadowed through me until I remembered that if Edward were to sneak through my window, he wouldn't bring his car.

Edwards POV

As I watched her walk away from me, her hips swinging in her step, I contemplated what she had just said. Before I knew it I was reversing out of the drive and speeding down the road to my house. I parked my car in the garage and sat there in the silence for a few minutes.

Wow, Bella had just asked me to come into her room, at night. I couldn't believe that I was actually going to do it though. Sure, I had been into her room before and watched her sleep, but with her permission this time it seemed… well I don't know how it seemed really. I guess it was the fact that she would be saying my name while she was awake this time.

I smiled at the thought and jumped out the car, I huge grin on my face. I had had a very productive day indeed. I had leant something of Bella, showed her truly what I was and admitted that I loved her and so now we were an official couple. I had gone through a life changing experience that I knew I could and would not recover from. The joy that was radiating from me was intense, as when I walked into the living room jasper was nearly knocked back in the sudden change in atmosphere.

"Well, someone seems happy. I guess it went well with Bella?" he asked, eyebrows raised. Before I could answer I heard a squeaking noise and was almost knocked backwards by a pixie jumping on me and giving me a tight squeeze.

"I knew it would all work out for you Edward! She is perfect for you and that you love her and she loves you. Ah… and when you kissed, wow, that was-," Alice was cut off by a booming laughter coming from the couch.

"Edward's got some, finally," Emmett boomed.

"Shut up Emmett," both Alice and I hissed at him.

"Oh, touchy, touchy, was it that she wasn't a good kisser or was it that you messed up so badly so you don't want to talk about it. It has to be one or the other," he laughed again. I was about to pounce on him when he suddenly stood up, broad grin on his face and, at vampire speed, rush to the door, "Gotta hunt," he said as he dashed into the forest.

"He is so-"

"Emmett," Alice said, finishing my sentence. Before I could say another word she dove into the conversation about what happened in the meadow. Apparently yesterday she a vision of us declaring our self's and then kissing, but that was all she saw and so she sat me down and made me tell her word for word what happened. A while later Esme and Carlisle walked into the room after just coming back from a hunt. They both gave me broad grins as apparently Alice had told them all about her vision.

Esme came over to me and hugged me tightly, "I knew you would find someone,' she whispered letting go.

Carlisle came and hugged me to saying, "I'm proud of you son," then joining Esme and listening to Alice's conversation and mine.

Around 10:00pm I got up and walked to the door, planning to head to Bella's. "And where are you going?" an accusing voice came from behind me. I looked to see Alice with a face of confusion.

I snorted and said, "some physic you are," then ran out of the house, in to the direction of Bella's house. I got there within a few minutes and quickly scaled the wall like I had done many times before. This time I found that the window was open but an empty room. I heard shuffling in the bathroom and so placed myself on Bella's rocking chair and waited. I could hear gentle snoring coming from the room across the hall, which indicated that Charlie was asleep.

After a few minutes of waiting Bella walked into the room, rubbing a towel onto her wet hair, she was wearing a pair joggers and a tank-top. She sat on the bed and flipped her hair a couple of times, oblivious to my presence. I let her finish and then gave a cough to indicate I was here, her head snapped round and an expression of shock came onto her face. She smiled warily at me before she turned her back and got into bed and under the sheets, resting her torso on her beds backboard. Bella looked at me again but this time with a more warm and inviting smile. She indicated with her head for me to move and sit next to her and I complied with out complaint.

I moved to her carefully and placed myself next to her. Her smell was the most rich, sweet smelling thing I have ever come across, yet it didn't hold the same longing as when I first met her. I was to in love with the person for it to really bother me that much. I think the right words are 'enjoying the banquet but resisting the wine'. I put my arm around Bella's shoulders and she snuggled into them peacefully.

"Hi," she said. I felt her relax in contentment.

"Hi," I replied, giving her shoulders a gentle squeeze.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Anything."

"Do you do this a lot," she said sheepishly.

"Do what?" I asked frowning.

"Come in to my room in the middle of the night and watch me sleep," I could hear the drowsiness in her voice. How did she know?

"Well, for a little while… yes," I said shyly.

"And it was you the other night when I woke up crying," she concluded.

"Yes," she remembers that?

"Really? I thought it was a dream… hmm," I could hear that she was struggling to stay awake.

"Now can I ask you something?"

"Hmm…" she replied.

"Can I take you to school tomorrow?" at this she woke up slightly and leant away from my chest to look at my face.

"Umm… I guess," she said with a confused look on her face, "but what about the rest of your family?"

"We have more then one car Bella," I reassured her. She blushed slightly at this and relaxed back into me. "You should sleep now Bella," and before she could get an answer I started humming the melody I had wrote for her.

Within minute's she was asleep.

;p
