A/N: Wow, it's been a week, I missed you everyone! Thanks for reading and reviewing, it really makes my crazy life easier to put up with :). I'm sorry about the shortness of the chapter but I had very little time and wanted you to have it!
She opens her mouth then closes it, in a trembling breath. She looks almost panicked, as if she hadn't expected me to say that. I meant it though. I felt like I was going to explode if I didn't tell her how I felt about her. Really tell her, not circling around the subject, saying I want only her. Which is true, but not what my heart feels. My hearts is bursting with so much love for her, it can't contain it anymore.
"Your feelings for me?" she stammers, her cheeks flushed and her eyes wide.
"Do you how I feel about you, baby? I want to tell you but do you know?" She has to know, doesn't she? I must be pretty obvious.
"I know you want me…" she whispers with a sultry smile, though it seems a little forced. It doesn't reach her eyes and I know then. She has no idea.
"Do you think that's all?" I add, taking her in my arms. Her warmth engulfs me and comforts me. What I like the most is the way her arms hug me, hard and passionate. The way her head nestles in my neck and the way she completely melts into me, like we're two halves of the same being.
"I don't know…You need to tell me, Edward…" Her lips kiss my jaw tenderly and make me tremble.
"Look at me, then." I say, cupping her jaw. I take a deep breath and decide to just go for it. If she shoots me, she does. I have to take a risk once in my life.
"I love you, Bella." My voice is clear, even though my heart is racing, pounding so hard I might faint.
I close my eyes, enduring her silence with as much dignity as I can. She obviously doesn't want me to say the words. She doesn't feel the same way. I start pulling away but she doesn't let me. Her arms hold me tighter and she whispers.
"Don't go. Please…open your eyes." I do and her beautiful, open face is staring right at me. Her eyes are shining with tears and her smile is blinding. Hope overwhelms me and I start breathing again.
"What you just said…is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. You saying those words is…Well it's almost a miracle." Tears are rolling on her cheeks and I want to kiss them away. But I'm paralyzed.
"I'm sorry, I' m rambling and I'd like so much to be clear." She shakes her head, muttering at herself.
"What's stopping you?" I ask, fidgeting.
"I don't know, you're right!" she exclaims, surprising me with her sweet laughter.
"Then do it!" I laugh in return.
"I love you too!" she blurts and her tears double on her face. It's probably the most intense moment of my life.
"No, you don't..." I tease, kissing her loudly on her ears, her nose, everywhere I could reach.
"You don't believe me, huh?" She tickles me, making me giggle like a little girl.
"Ok, ok! I believe you!"
"So you love me?" She asks, whispering.
"Yep, Ma'am."
"Wow…"
"Yeah.
"And you love me?" I whisper as well.
"Yep, Mister."
"Wow."
"Yeah."
"Are we in trouble now?" I barely can think about what's ahead of us.
"Oh, yes, we are."
When she slides her tongue behind my ear, I forget all about it.
There it is! Very short, but there it is. Did you like it? A much longer one on Wednesday, hopefully.
