I'm in too much shock to ask Edward what the hell he is doing here, or even how he knows where I live in the first place. Instead I can only watch in amazement as he stands nervously on my doorstep.
The silence is deafening but just like on all those other occasions my mouth goes dry and I don't know what to say to him.
I make the mistake of meeting Edwards eye and what I find there terrifies me.
Pity.
He's only here because he feels sorry for me. That's the only explanation I can come up with for his sudden arrival.
His sympathy only makes me feel worse and I feel my eyes once again fill with tears.
There's no disguising it but when I turn to hide my tears, Edward takes a hold of my arms before I have a chance to flee.
It's the first time he's touched me, really touched me, and it's just a magical as I'd imagined. Thrill shoots through me like an electric current but that only makes me feel worse.
I try to pull away but Edward is having none of it; he grips my arms firmly in his as he stumbles towards me.
He pauses for a second seemingly debating something before resolve sets on his features.
"Bella," he sighs and then before I can process what is happening he ducks his head and the lips I have long dreamed about are on mine...
AN: FINALLY I hear you all shout!
Hope it was worth the wait:)
