The doorbell. Why did these things happen at the most inopportune moments? I had been getting ready to get into the shower; I shut off the water and grabbed my bathrobe that hung on the back of the bathroom door. While charging down the stairs I tripped, almost landing flat on my but before I caught myself on the railing. That was going to bruise, I knew it. I opened the door quickly before the person thought that nobody was home because I was taking forever, but when I pulled open the front door I was hit with yet another surprise. There standing on my doorstep was Edward looking as perfect as ever and here I was standing in my bathrobe probably looking like a mess. My cheeks turned a new shade a red right then, and I couldn't form a coherent thought so I just stood there looking at my feet trying to gain back my normal pale complexion.
"Can I come in, or do you like standing on the doorstep in a robe?" He asked with a playful laugh and smile.
"Uh…yeah. Come on in." I held the door open for him to walk past me. "So, I thought you weren't allowed to leave the house for a week? Did Carlisle cave in already?" We walked over to the couch and I made sure that I pulled my robe tightly close before sitting down next to him. His arm wrapped around my shoulders and pulled me into his chest. I rested my head on his shoulder as I grabbed his other hand and intertwined our fingers.
"No it's just my hour yard time, so I thought I would come and return your truck. But I can see I interrupted something." He said motioning towards my attire, but he still had a big goofy grin on his face.
"Oh, I was just about to take a quick shower before Charlie came home, but it can wait."
"I'm glad because I only have," He glanced at the clock that hung on the opposing wall, "34 minutes before I have to be heading home. I don't want to upset the warden on the first day." He leaned down and kissed the tip of my nose. "I must admit, I did have a secret agenda when I decided to bringing back the truck."
"Really? And what would that be, if I may be so bold to ask." I was now staring into his beautiful green eyes getting lost in their depth.
"Well you got off the phone so quickly, so I thought it would be a good idea to come over and see if your secret boyfriend was here." I could see the laughter in his eyes, so I decided to play along.
"Oh, he left about five minutes before you got here. That's the real reason for the outfit choice." His eyes got wide and his jaw dropped in mock shock. "Sorry Edward, I didn't want you to find out like this." I hung my head pretending to feel guilty.
"Well what can he give you that I can't?" He asked lifting my chin so that he was looking into my eyes once more. He leaned his lips to my ear, "I would give you the world if you wanted it." This sent chills down my body. A trail of kisses followed the line of my neck and then back up to my cheeks, nose, and finally lips. The kiss was tender but still held a lot of passion, and by the end of the kiss I was gasping for breath.
"Nobody could compare to you. You are perfect." I said in a whisper still trying to catch my breath. The blush started to creep back up into my cheeks, turning them to a new shade of red. His hand brushed along my cheek.
"I love your blush." I wrapped my arm around his waist so that I was leaning on his chest. "I love your big brown eyes. I love the smell of your perfume. And I…..I love you." Edward loves me? He lips pressed against the top of my head, and pulled me into an embrace that resembled a hug. I didn't know what to do next, should I say it back? But it was too soon, what if we were rushing it? But as his hand began to run up and down my arm sending a bolt of electricity through me and I realized it didn't matter. I loved him back, and I shouldn't worry about time protocol.
"I love you too Edward." I turned my head and placed a kiss on his chest. And a low growl rumbled in his chest, which made me laugh so I kissed him again.
"You are evil. But I wouldn't trade you for anything."
"Good, because then I would have to date Mike and I find him a bit strange." Edward nodded in agreement and we both began to laugh until our sides hurt. When we had finally calmed down, I looked back at the clock and noticed that Edward was supposed to be home in fifteen minutes. "Edward, you are going to be late if you don't get going."
"I know, but I am just so comfortable." He pretended to go to sleep but I pushed him up.
"Come on, up we go." We made our way to the front door. "Oh wait! I wanted you to bring something back to Alice. It's just up in my room." I started to climb the stairs when I noticed that Edward wasn't following me. "Are you coming?"
"I didn't know if you wanted me in your room." He replied quietly.
"Of course you can come up, stop being silly." I shook my head at him. I opened the door to my room, happy that I had cleaned it up earlier. I handed him the duffle bag of new clothes. "Here these are Alice's. She must have gotten them mixed up." He didn't say anything about my room; he just kept looking at his feet. So to help his embarrassment, I lead him back downstairs but when we got to the bottom he pulled me into another kiss, wrapping his free hand around my waist. It was nice not having to reach up to his lips, because I was standing on the stair above his. We had just pulled apart but our lips still within a mere few inches from each other, when we heard the shouts coming from behind us.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY DAUGHTER? WHAT WERE YOU TWO DOING UPSTAIRS…..WHY ARE YOU IN A ROBE……AND WHAT'S IN THAT BAG?" Shouted Charlie with his hand still placed on his gun which sat on his side.
