Three Days Later

BPOV

After that magical night that Edward and I had spent together we'd agreed that we had to leave all of those feelings and physical desires in that moment.

However, that didn't stop us from touching, fondling and kissing whenever we were alone for more than two seconds. We were like horny teenagers being watched by our parents in that we would take the stairs just so we could have a few minutes to grind and make out.

But, I leave for Forks in less than forty-eight hours and I was dying inside at the thought of driving away from the amazing man.

We were currently sitting in the sun, on our bench, my head on his shoulder as his arm was wrapped around my shoulder.

"Bella, can I ask you a favor?" Edward's voice held a heaviness that I hadn't heard in a while.

"Sure." I said as my hand played with the buttons on his shirt.

"Would you and Kendall spend the night with me tomorrow night?" He asked, hesitant, almost like he feared my rejection to his request.

I sat up to face him and put my hands on his cheeks, "Are you sure that's a good idea, Edward? Won't it make it that much harder for you?"

My eyes searched his for a clue to what he was thinking.

"It's just...I want the last memory that I have of both of you to be where you are safe, protected and in my arms. I...I well...I need it, Bella." He said as the tears slipped past his eyes and rolled down his cheeks.

I felt my own eyes become wet as I pulled him into my arms. We clung to one another and cried. Why couldn't this be easy and simple? Why did he have to live here and not Washington?

"Okay, Edward, we'll spend the night with you." I whispered into his ear just before I kissed below it. He shivered and moaned into my ear.

"I love you, Bella. Please promise me that you won't ever forget that." He said as he pulled back and held my face this time. His eyes were the most breath-taking shade of green and once again, I felt I was looking at his soul.

"I could never forget you, Edward. My heart and soul belong to you." I murmured just as his lips softly met mine.

That night as I laid in bed, alone, I cried for what could have been. I ached for the simply amazing life that I was walking away from...and for the man of my dreams that I'd be leaving behind.

A/n: I know you all don't understand but you have to trust me...please...JUST TRUST ME!
