Chapter 9 Fall for you

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

I woke in the next morning with my talk with Bella fresh in my mind. To hear the tears in her voice was still heartbreaking. However I knew we would be okay. We had to be. I came to realizes I cannot live without her. She has become vital to my life. I do not want to go back to my life before her. I have become to hate the person I was. I did not want to think of my life without her. I went through my day in a bit of a haze. I waited for a call from Bella, but did not get one. I was started to get worried. After our talk in the middle of the night I really thought I would hear from her today.

By the time my day was done and I headed back to my hotel, my heart was heavy with worry. I was starting to get scared I was not going to hear from her. I made to my room and took my suit off to get into my sweats. Then started up my laptop, to check my E-mails.

I felt relief wash through me when it shows 2 e-mails from Bella. They were marked, Read first and Read second. So I pulled up the first one. It had no note, just a download. So I downloaded it. It was a song.

If there's a plane or a bus leaving Dallas
I hope you're on it
If there's a train moving fast down the tracks
I hope you caught it

Cause I swear out there ain't where you ought to be
So catch a ride, catch a cab
Don't you know I miss you bad
But don't you walk to me

Baby run, cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can't get here fast enough

Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby run

If you ain't got a suit case
Get a box or an old brown paper sack
And pack it light or pack it heavy
Take a truck, take a Chevy
Baby just come back

There's a shortcut to the highway out of town
Why don't you take it
Don't let that speed limit slow you down
Go on and break it

Baby run, cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can't get here fast enough

Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch

Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby run

Baby run
Oh baby run
Baby run

I listened to the song word for word. I remembered this song, I listened to it the first time a few months ago when Bella told me it was one of her favorites by George Strait. I got the message of the song right away. She wanted me to come home to her. That truly put a smile on my face. She was ready.

I open the second one. It had a time and place in it. I kindly surprised me. She wanted me to meet her at a hotel. She told me to tell the front desk my name and they would give me a key. This all confused me. I thought I would meet her home. I called Alice to try and figure out what Bella was thinking.

"Hey Alice, how's my favorite sister today?"

"Favorite, really. I know I'm your favorite sister because I'm your only sister. Now what are you sucking up for." Alice said in her know it all tone.

"How is Bella doing today?"

"A little better today, but she's still beating herself up. I swear that girl is too hard on herself sometimes."

"What is she being hard on herself about?"

"Edward, you really need to be talking to Bella about this, not me."

"I talked to her last night. I told her I was here for her whenever she is ready."

"That explains her change in moods today. She seems happier, but a little scared."

"I was hoping you could tell me why she wants me to meet her at a hotel tomorrow and not at home." The line went quiet for a few minutes. I was about to ask Alice if she was still there when she spoke up.

"Edward, I think she is scared you are going to reject her."

"What? Why would she think that?"

"She is really beating herself up for doubting you. She can't get over losing faith in you. She told me she should have known right away that you would have never done that. She thinks you are upset with her over it." I went quiet for a few minutes this time. I needed to take in what Alice just told me. It was so Bella to do this to herself. "Edward, just reassure her you want and need her. That you still want to be with her and everything is will be fine. Most of all stop over-thinking all this. I swear you two over-think everything to death. Now go see her tomorrow, talk this all out. Then enjoy staying at a hotel that is not work related."

"You're right Alice. I tend to over-think everything. For once I'll just go with it. Thank you, Bella and I will be fine."

I headed home early Friday. I ended my afternoon meeting quickly and caught a early flight home. I went to the office and talked to my boss about taking next week off for personal reasons. He also wanted to talk about hiring a new assistant. I think I talked him out of it. I still had sometime so I ran home and dropped off my stuff and grabbed a few things. Now it was time to go see My Bella.

I would say I was nervous but that would be putting it mildly. I took a few calming breaths before walking over to the front desk.

"Hello. Welcome to the Hilton. How may I help you?" A tall blond woman said with a seductive smile. I just smile back at her knowing it would change as soon as I told her who I was.

"Yes, I'm Edward Cullen. I'm meeting my girlfriend, Bella Swan here." Her face turned hard.

"Oh yes, Mr. Cullen. Ms. Swan is waiting for you in suite 1505. Here is your key. Have a nice stay." Her voice was more businesslike and not so sweet any more.

"Thank you. Can you tell me how many nights Bella got our suite for?"

"Just for the night sir." She told me as I pull out my credit card.

"Can you put our suite on my card for a late check out on Sunday night?"

"Yes, sir." She start punching key on her computer. "How late on Sunday are you

looking for?"

"Around 6 Sunday night would be good. Did you check Bella in?"

"Yes sir."

"Can you tell me how she looked when she came in. She has be sick lately and I been away on business. I have not seen her in a few days."

"She looked good. She looked like she was recovering from being ill. Maybe a little thin." I looked at my watch, it was a little after 5. I put in a room service order for 8 o'clock. That should give us enough time to talk. I thanked the woman for her help and made my way upstairs.

I made it up to our room and opened the door to a dimly lite room. It took my eyes a few seconds to adjust. Then I saw Bella standing there waiting for me. Looking at her made my heart sink. Her eyes had dark rings around them and a little sunken in. Her eyes had lost their sparkle and depth. Her hair was dull, it has last it shine. I looked at her from head to toe, she was thinner, but not unhealthy thin, but you could tell she lost weight. Even with all that, there stood the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.

No words were said as I crossed the room and took her in my arms. To hold her in my arms again was pure heaven. She molded herself to me and pressed her face into my chest. Then I heard quiet sobs.

"Edward, I'm so sorry." She said through her cries.

"Shh Angel, everything is going to be okay." I told her as I held her and rubbed her back.

Her sobs slowed and quieted down after a while. She looked at me.

"Edward, please tell me you forgive me for doubting you." She pleaded with me.

"Bella, there is nothing to forgive you for. I understand why you reacted the way you did. All that matters now is that you are here in my arms where you belong." I held her tighter.

I just held her tight for as long as she let me. I missed holding her. I pulled back a little when she loosened her hold on me. I had to feel her lips on mine. So I took her face in my hands and tilted up to mine. I simply pressed my lips to hers. No lips moving together, no deepening our kiss. I just pressed my lips to hers. I just took in the feeling of her full, sweet lips pressed to mine. I felt her lips move against mine.

"Edward, I love you."

Those are I words I have been wanting to hear. They made my heart pound a 100 miles a minute. Without thinking I crushed my lips to hers harder. I moved my hands to her waist and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around my waist and her arms went around my neck. The feel of her body wrapped around me was prefect. I could not ask for more, but I got a lot more than I expected when she parted her lips and slide her tongue across my lips. I parted my lips and took in her taste. I missed her taste and smell. Now I was high on both of them. The feel of her tongue dancing with mine was getting to be too much. I place one more sweet kiss on her lips and moved on to her neck.

As I moved around her neck with open mouthed kisses and small licks I moved my hands from her back down to her bottom. My fingers found the bottom of her dress was riding up from her legs wrapped around me. I could feel the soft skin where her long legs meet the bottom of her butt. I couldn't help but add a groan to the soft moans coming from Bella. Her smell, her taste and the feel of her body press to mine was all getting to be to much, I was about to push this to far if I didn't stop soon.

I kissed my way back up to her ear from her collar bone. I whispered what I have been wanting to say for weeks in her ear.

"Bella, I love you."

"Edward, make love to me. I need you right now." I know exactly what she meant. We needed this. We needed to be together like that now to make this all better.
