Chapter Thirty-Seven
It was their last night together before Edward flew to Europe and Bella began her tour of the States.
They were curled in bed together, neither talking, just enjoying each other's company.
Bella wasn't sure what they were anymore.
"Edward?" she asked with her chin on his chest as she looked up at him.
"Yeah?" His eyes opened slowly, filling with warmth as soon as they settled on her.
She smiled and traced patterns on his chest with her finger.
"What are we?"
"Well," Edward began, clearing his throat as he sat up against the headboard, bringing Bella up with him. "That all depends on your view point. Some believe that we are the ancestors of apes while others…" He was cut off as Bella slapped playfully at his chest, a laugh rumbling from deep within him.
"That's not what I meant." She pouted.
He grinned and pressed his lips lovingly to her forehead.
"I know." His fingers brushed through her hair. "You're my girl, my Bella."
