Hell. The place was full and my nerves were getting to me. How I could give Edward patience and calm when I was shaking? I took a deep breath trying to relax my body, my mind, and my thoughts. Edward was beside me looking around the room, at the people waiting for him. He didn´t say anything. He didn´t move. Nothing. Now I´m freaking out. I squeezed his hand and he grabbed mine strongly. He is alive after all.
"My sister is a lost cause," he said.
"You don´t have to do this if you are not sure, baby." I leaned my head on his arm and Edward wrapped his arms around my waist and sighed.
"My dear, you're finally here," we heard Esme say. "Are you feeling okay, Edward? Do you need something?"
He shook his head. "No. I´m fine mom. I have all I need with me here." He held me and I put my arms around him too. Esme smiled wide and winked at me.
"I told her exactly the same thing just minutes ago, son. Alice is looking for you. The show should be starting in fifteen minutes."
"Okay. I´m going backstage." Edward turned around and took my face into his hands. With a kiss he pulled me closer and sighed, "You will be there with me, Brownie eyes?"
I gave him an eskimo kiss. "Of course. I will be there soon." We kissed again, with need. So much need was in that kiss that it made me moan. We heard someone clearing her throat. "Oh. Hmm. Esme. Backstage," I said between kisses.
"I know." Edward didn´t stop and I giggled. "Okay, okay, I´m leaving now." I watched him walk away. I felt some emptiness and wrapping my arms around myself, I prayed for this to be good for him. It has to be. Edward can do this. He will.
"Sweetie, don´t worry. Edward is going to be fine. He is going to do this, but not just for him. He is doing it for you too, didn't you know?" I looked at my mom-in-law.
"For me?"
"Yes, for you, my dear. He loves you very much and he wants a life with you without fears and insecurities. He wants to be "the" man. Your everything."
I smiled. "He is my everything."
"He wants to be more. He wants to be better for you and for him. Edward needs to close old wounds to build a new life. And you're his new life. It would not surprise me if he asks you marry him." Esme smiled and I froze. She must have felt my reaction, because she squeezed my hands. "Not now, but he will."
"Esme. I´m oficially feaking out." She laughed, shaking me.
"Oh, there you are. I was looking for you ladies." Carlise hugged Esme and I said "hey" while looking at another man who was with him. He looked very familiar.
"Esme, you probably remember him, but Bella, this is Demetri."
"Demetri. Yeah, right. We talked on the phone a few days ago. Hello, nice to met you, finally."
"Nice to meet you, too. Esme, it´s been a long time. Where are the rest?"
"The guys are helping the sound team, Alice is making some arrangements, and Edward is backstage," I said nervously.
"The show must be starting soon, I guess."
"Pretty much. You are just in time," Esme said. "Come with us, we have a table near the stage."
"Sure. How is Edward?"
"Very excited, but scared, too. This is a big step for him." I sat beside them looking at the people. "Wow, from here there are even more people. How can you sing with some many people in front of you?"
"You get used to it. When you sing, there is nothing around you. Just the music and you. How many songs Edward has decided to do?"
"Hmm. Ten. He will be playing five classics, and the rest are his own new ones." I sighed and looked at my watch. "Oh, I have to be backstage now. Demetri, please stay, enjoy the show. We will see you later." I walked away to the stage and I glanced Alice. "How is everything?"
"It´s great, Bells! People can´t wait to see Edward. This is amazing!"
"He wanted to kick you, Alice."
"I know, but there is no time for that. Maybe there is time for a kiss and some hugs, but don´t even think about a quicky."
"Alice, what is wrong with you? Did you drink something? For a moment I heard Rosalie speaking." I laughed.
"God, you are not the first to ask me that. I think without Rose here I have double personalites. Go backstage now, we have just five minutes."
"I´m going. I´m going. You are so bossy tonight. I turned around to find Edward. The band was getting ready, but there was no sign of my pouty lips. I kept walking until I found him. Edward was standing up holding his guitar, with his eyes closed. He was like a Greek God or something, and I couldn't stop watching him. His lips moved without making any sound, and just like that, I was hypnotized at seeing him. He looked so peaceful, but sexy, like a fallen angel.
"I can feel you, Brownie Eyes," he said, smiling.
"Oh, now you have eyes in the back of your head, Pouty Lips?" I teased and he laughed. Finally Edward turned around and opened his beautiful eyes.
"Come here." He sat his guitar on the floor and with arms wide open Edward enveloped me into his warm scent. He sighed, and I wrapped my arms tightly around him. I could feel his lips on my hair and his hands rubbing my back. Damn, it was sexy and so relaxing. It was our world. I groaned. "What is going on?" He hid his face in my hair.
"It's time to go on stage, pouty lips."
"I know."
"And Alice told me we don´t have time for funny business." I giggled.
"Not even for a quick one?" He moved back to look at me and I shook my head. "I can be very quick." He winked.
"God. You are not making this easy." Edward laughed and crushed his lips on mine. We moved in sync, exploring our lips. His tongue asked my permision and I let it in. It was heaven and hell when our tongues found and melted together. We couldn't stop moaning, Edward touched my breasts running his hand slowly down my body until my hips. He brought me closer and I could feel his erection. Sadly our perfomance was cut short by an unhappy and bossy Alice.
"Bells, I told you, right?" Edward groaned and I tried to hide into his chest. "Come on, it's time." I put my hand on his body trying to move.
"It's time." He nodded.
"Stay with me. Very close," he whispered.
"I will, but eventually I have to see your parents."
"I love you." Edward kissed me sweetly.
"I love you, too."
"Let´s go people!" Edward looked at me and sighed. It was time.
Edward looked so alive and secure on stage. He shared a lot of moments with the crowd, remembering old times, and even some of his fans asked him to sing his old songs. This was unexpected for him, but he just laughed and said, "Patience." After the second song, I left to see the family. I knew my place was near Edward, close to the stage, but I needed to be close with the rest at some point. Especially when Edward sang the classics. It was something safer for him. But his songs, that was going to be another story. Demetri was very glad to see Edward again even if Edward didn´t know his friend was here. The fans were happy to listen to him and his family was proud. It was a perfect night, but for some reason I could feel from a distance that he was getting nervous. The time to sing his songs was here.
"I hope you are enjoying the night" he said to the crew. "First, I want to thank all of you for being here, as you know, this is my first night out from home." He smiled and the people laughed. "Second, I wouldn´t be here if it wasn´t for my family, but especially for you, Brownie Eyes. You can´t see her now, but she is there." Edward turned around and gave me a beautiful smile. I blushed in a thousand differents red colors and Alice hugged me. "This song is very special for me. I wrote it months ago and means a lot and not just for me. It´s called, 'We Will See You Again.'" I sighed. Those lyrics were very telling. I was surprised that he chose that one to start with.
The band started playing the chords and Edward followed. The music lasted a few more minutes, but he continued playing. Something was wrong. Each time he approached the microphone, took a deep breath and kept playing. I walked away from Alice without taking my eyes off him. Edward was doubting.
"What do we do now, Bella? Edward is petrified and it's probably my fault," Alice said sadly.
"No, it´s not. He just needs a push."
"How? We can´t stop the show at this point." I looked around and finally I saw it. "Bella?" I heard her.
"This mic works?" I asked her, and Alice looked shocked.
"I think so, the guys were testing everything earlier today."
"Okay," I breathed. "Wish me luck." I walked slowly on stage, the band saw me, but Edward didn´t notice me until he heard me.
"Even if you embrace the moon, even if you sleep with the sun.
There are no more stars than you let shine,
the sky will have your color,
don´t be alone in this rain,
please, don´t give up."
I stood next to Edward and he kept playing, but this time he looked at me, smiled and followed me.
"If you must be strong in these times, to withstand the disappointment,
and kept open your mind and soul,
I am here with you."
Now, after that first step, Edward was sure, no doubts. I was here with him no matter what and he understood. I didn´t move from his side while he continued singing.
"If you need one who treats you with love, if you do not have anyone to give your heart,
if everything turns around when you most need it, we will see you again."
Edward looked at me and smiled, asking me to join him in the last part of the song.
"Do not be alone in this rain, please don't give up. If you must be strong in these times to withstand the disappointment and stay open, mind and soul, I am with you.
If you need one who treats you with love, if you do not have to give your heart,
If everything turns around when you most need it, we will see you again."
The music slowly stopped. Edward left his guitar holding on his shoulder and grabbed my hands. I didn´t realize my shaking body until I felt him. Edward leaned against me and pressed his forehead on mine. I closed my eyes listening to his breathing and immediately my body relaxed. He squeezed my hand and opening my eyes, I found his beautiful green ones. There was no fear, no pain, no doubts. There was peace.
"Thank you, Brownie Eyes." He smiled.
"Any time my, Pouty Lips," I sighed, knowing the next step. We turned around slowly, without being apart from each other. Finally, we faced the crowd and the response was overwhelming. Cheers, shouts, whistles, and screams. It's amazing how things can change in one second. Edward grabbed my waist and pulled me to his body. Seeing everything in front of us, he started to laugh, and I hid my face on his chest.
"Oh, God. What I have done?" Edward hugged me tightly.
"Ladies and gentleman. This is my Brownie Eyes."
