EPOV

The days flew by with Bella staying at Pemberley, as a guest of my sister as Rosalie constantly reminded me.

I found it difficult to be near in public and not touch her; not kiss her cheek or feel her lips against mine.

It was maddening.

After the intimacy the first night, we both agreed that we would keep our physical relationship for another time; one where it would be more appropriate for us to be together in that way.

The morning she was due to leave, she met me in the gardens while I watched Rosalie play with our dogs. "I wish you weren't leaving." I mumbled, not bothering to look at her for fear that I'd show more emotion than was appropriate.

"Me as well." She replied, her eyes also trained on Rose as her hand slipped into mine.

I squeezed her hand. "I do hope you'll return."

"At the earliest invitation by Rose." She paused. "Unless you speak with your aunt and my father before then."

I nodded. "It shall be done as soon as she returns from London; I am in no position to go to your father until then."

She nodded, "Understood."

"You will be my wife, Bella." I whispered, turning my body to hers. "I promise."

"I am pleased to hear it as I've already begun to practice writing Mrs. Isabella Cullen in my diary." She grinned as she looked up at me and smiled softly.

I grinned a little, taking a chance to press my lips to her neck. "My Mrs. Cullen."

"Only ever yours, Edward." She whispered into my ear.

"I know, love." I replied, pulling away enough so that we would go unnoticed but kept a firm grip on her hand. "You must write the moment you get to your home.'

"I shall." She smiled, then looked over her shoulder at Rose. "To both of you. I really will miss her."

I turned to look at her, the wind blowing through her already tousled hair. "You'll return; It should feel like no time at all."

"It shall feel as if an eternity has passed even before I step foot in my home."

I sighed, feeling the weight of the world being left to my shoulders. "But I love you; I will always love you."

"As I love you, Mr. Cullen." She smiled.

I grinned at her, looping her arm over mine and turning back for the house. "Please give my regards to your family; are they well."

"I shall." She replied, the line of her body leaning into me. "It is a shame you and Rosalie cannot visit soon."

"Well, I shall be there as soon as I can. I should probably have to impose on Mr. Hale and your sister to watch after Rose." I thought aloud, slowing my pace as we made it back to the house.

"Perhaps we could meet there, instead for your convenience." She replied, searching undoubtedly for my sister before she stepped just closer.

I pulled her closer, kissing her forehead gently. "No, I should like to see your father myself; do things the proper way...for a change."

"You have been nothing short of a perfect gentleman Mr. Cullen. Do not doubt that, please."

I laughed a little. "Oh, but I do Miss Swan. And I think you know it, too."

Her small hand came up to my jaw, cupping it lightly as she tried to assure me. "Please don't, my dear. It displeases me greatly that you do not see yourself as I see you."

I smiled softly at her, unable for a moment to harbor any ill will. "As long as you see something in me worth waiting for, I am satisfied."

"I see more than a few things." She replied, "I love you Mr. Cullen. Always."

I leaned in and kissed her slowly. "And I you, Miss Swan. Very much."

"I will miss your lips almost as much as your company." She laughed, kissing me again before her hands found themselves on my shoulders.

"Makes coming together, that much sweeter?" I offered, moaning against her mouth as the kiss deepened.

"Mhm." She managed to mumble, sounding almost lost in our kisses.

I brushed my lips teasingly to hers, before righting myself and continuing us both to the portico. "I do hope you enjoyed yourself."

"I did, immensly. I hope I wasn't too much of a burden and didn't keep you from your work too much."

"Of course not." I replied, slowing to a stop before coming to her carriage. "I hope you shall come again."

Bella nodded, "Please tell Ms. Rosalie that I shall miss her greatly and will write soon."

"I hope so." I whispered, not quite ready to let her go, but at the same time there was nothing to be done. "I'll miss you...ever moment."

"I... I shall be in town in four days time. Every Tuesday my mother asks me to go unaccompanied to pick up random fabrics." she informed, pulling her lower lip between her teeth. "Perhaps the sending of mail would be quicker should it be given in person to the recipient..."

"Yes, Much." I replied. "At what time?"

"Often around noon; after morning chores are Fabrics, just off of Kingston Square."

I nodded. "I know it." I leaned in, kissing her forehead. "Until then."

She sighed, then tapped her lower lip with one finger. "Please?"

I leaned down, kissing her softly, despite the impropriety. "I love you."

"The same." She smiled before getting into her carriage.

I watched her ride away, the carriage moving slowly toward town on the long ambling road.

She took my heart with her; I hope she knew. It would never belong to anyone but her.

The next four days waiting for tuesday dragged themselves through. I tried to get things done but my every thought was consumed with Miss Swan and what she could be up to. I craved her presence like one would water in a desert.

When tuesday finally came, I rode my horse into town, telling Rose that she had to stay behind to complete her lessons. The last thing I needed, though, was to have to keep track of her on top of everything.

I was able to find the shop quickly, and when I did my eye was drawn directly to my love. I made no attempt to cover my line directly to her. "I think the blue would be quite lovely on you." I said, standing behind her as she admired the ribbon.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bella smile, sighing contentedly as though she knew I'd been watching her. "A cornflower or a true navy? Which do you prefer?" She inquired, holding the two up.

"Cornflower." I replied, breathing in her scent as she kept a close eye on her selections. "It's as if you expected me."

She leaned back just slightly against me. "I can feel when your eyes are on me. We are magnetic."

"My aunt will return this friday." I told her, unable to contain the news any longer. "I will go to her then."

"Friday cannot arrive soon enough." She sighed, picking through the scraps of fabric.

"I know, love." I whispered, moving to the side to look at the ribbon with her. "I have a letter for you."

"I have two; one for you and one for Rosalie." She smiled, "But please take care of the one for your sister; I've put samples of the flowers from our garden with the letter."

I grinned at her. "That was very sweet of you."

"Come, I must pay for these."

I held out my hand. "Allow me."

"That is very kind, but my father has given me money for just this." She replied, brushing her hand innocently to mine. "Thank you for offering."

I raised an eye brow, walking beside her to the till. "It wasn't an offer; it was a chance for you to allow me the honor of purchasing your items. Now I'll just do the same while you protest."

She laughed lightly, smirking at me all the while. "You should be wary then; you have seen both my mother and my sister Jessica. My protesting skills have been perfected through example."

I laughed, as the manager took down the bill. "You are very lucky, then, that I am immune to womanly protest."

She allowed me to pay, but waited until we were outside before she place a gentle kiss just behind my ear. "Even mine?"

I sighed, missing her lips immensely. "Even yours...at times."

"Hm. I shall have to work on that once we are married then." She smiled, laughing happily up at me.

I grinned at her. "I can't wait to see you try."

"Have you heard from Mr. Hale or my sister since we last spoke?"

"I sent a letter Sunday, but I haven't heard yet. Why do you ask?"

"I received a letter from Alice while I was gone. Her and Mr. Hale will be visiting us in just over a week's time. She said she had news, so I was wondering if you had heard anything." She paused, "You don't think they would be moving to London, or worse, America, do you?"

I laughed a bit under my breath. "Miss Swan, how long has it been since last you saw your sister?"

"Um... goodness, since the wedding I'd imagine."

I grinned knowingly at her. "Then I suspect, Miss Swan, that your sister's news has nothing to do with a move; but rather an addition."

Her face softened and she beamed up at me. "I truly hope you are right Mr. Cullen."

How I wished I could lean over and kiss her. "Where to next? Or can I escort you home?"

"I would be much obliged if you would walk me home."

I nodded. "Let me get my horse."

"With a walk we'd have more time... unless you have an engagement you must attend to?"

"I'll walk the horse." I promised, retrieving him. "I wouldn't waste a second of this."

Miss Swan smiled at me as we began to wander toward her home. "Are you lonesome without your sister?"

"I am lonesome without you, Mr. Cullen." She told me, looking up in my direction. "My sister is my dearest friend, this is true, but there is nothing that compares to having love and having to pretend it does not exist."

I leaned over and kissed her temple. "Without you, love, I don;t exist at all."

She smiled, then lead me over to a grove of trees. "Some added privacy Mr. Cullen? Just for a moment?"

I pushed her toward the trees, looping the horse's reigns over a branch before pulling her into my arms and kissing anywhere my lips found purchase. "I love you...I love you forever."

Her nimble fingers soon threaded through my hair and she kissed me passionately. "I love you Edward... Edward..."

I pushed my face into her neck, sucking in deep breaths. "How are you? I missed you...terribly."

"I'm... I shall live for Tuesdays, until everything has been settled." She sighed, tilting her lips to capture mine again. "I have missed your touch, your voice... I did not think it was possible to exist feeling this empty."

"Never empty, love." I whispered, kissing her cheeks as I looked up at her. "You are never empty because I always love you and you will always have my heart."

"As you have mine, but do you not feel the hole when we are apart? All I do when I work is daydream of you, of our time together, of the life we will have."

"Of course." I replied, returning my lips to hers and gripping her waist tightly. "But soon they won't be dreams, love. It will be our future."

"And we will share kisses like that multiple times a day?" She asked, smiling up at me.

"Thousands." I whispered, kissing her again. "Your lips will be raw."

"I hope so." She murmured, kissing me again. "I find myself thoroughly lost in you when you kiss me, Mr. Cullen. It's a bit unnerving how much you could get away with by just moving your lips against mine."

I kissed her again. 'I"ll have to remember that for future reference."

She laughed lightly, reaching up to cup my jaw. "Thank you for loving me."

I returned her smile because there was nothing more beautiful or perfect than the woman in front of me. "Thank yourself for being so wonderful."

She sighed, pulling away reluctantly. "We should probably go. My family will wonder where I am."

I kissed her neck again, feeling the thump of her pulse beneath my lips. "You, my darling, are right. As always."

"However much I wish I wasn't." She said, her voice tainted with sadness as she kissed my temple.

"Only a while longer." I consoled, cupping her face in my hands and kissing her one last time. "Just a tiny bit."

She nodded, before looking up at me bashfully. "I still think about... that night, often."

"Does it bother you?" I constantly worried about what she would think after that night; whether she would regret it or...or worse, refuse my proposal because of my impetuous actions.

"Quite the opposite actually." She blushed."I look forward to another evening such as that one... and many many more of them."

I sighed with relief, and kissed her delectable blush. "Too many too count, my love."

"I can hardly wait." She sighed, kissing me once more before she took my hand. "Walk me the rest of the way? Please?"

I nodded against her, sighing deeply. "Of course." I kissed the skin just over her heart. "I love you."

"I love you too." She sighed, running her fingers again through my hair, knowing exactly how to soothe me.

I grinned against her lips, nuzzling her nose with mine. "We're lucky my hair's so unruly."

"Indeed we are." She murmured, her lips teasingly close to my own.

I groaned against her lips, pulling away regretfully. "We should go; but I shall miss you until I speak to your father."

She nodded, panting a bit as I pulled away. "Come as soon as you can?"

"The moment I can." I whispered, pulling her back onto the road. "Not a second later."

She smiled, waving slightly as she started toward her home. "Good."

I walked side by side up to her house, and the moment we got there was bitter sweet. The next time I saw her, she would be my fiancee.

My Mrs. Cullen.
