How to Save a Life

by bexie25

Step one you say we need to talk, he walks you say sit down, it's just a talk. He smiles politely back at you. You stare politely right on through. Meeting on a bus, Edward and Bella are immediately attracted to each other but their gloomy, abuse-ridden pasts make them both hesitant to trust anyone. Follow them as Bella learns not only how to save a life, but hers is saved as well.

144. Chapter 143

"God Bella, I'm so proud of you," Edward says, appraisal clear as day in his voice. I smile giddily, unable to stop the giggle that slips through my lips. "Congratulations baby."

"Thanks," I say, swallowing.

Yes, I am emotional… my dream of being a writer… a praised writer… it's gonna happen for me.

For me.

"Ah, this is so exciting. Edward, I'm excited." I say and he chuckles over the phone.

"Well, I wish I could congratulate you properly…" he says, his voice now husky.

Ugh.

"Well then, come home," I pant into the phone.

"Don't; don't do that, don't tease me, baby. You know how much I wanna be there… god, just the possibilities of what you could be wearing…"

"Edward," I moan into the phone, "I'm wearing your shirt and a pair of boxers… I'm naked underneath."

"Damn it," he groans and I hear his head hit the desk.

No, I would not, but hey, you were the one who killed off Edward and Bella in the Key Party drabble!

Oh and last chapter's protective Edward reminded me of your Edward from From my Window

Yes, I am now making references to your drabbles… I always do.
