We are reunited at last! My plan went swimmingly and the DHL driver delivered me secreted in the cardboard box Alice posted me in directly to Bella's mother's house. I arrived shortly after she did and with some substantial effort Phil (or perhaps Renee has been on the protein) deposited me in Bella's room, as instructed on the delivery note.
My sweetheart appeared looking puzzled as the dazzling sunshine surrounded her like a brilliant halo. I squeaked and held out my arms, desperate for a cuddle.
Bella leaned into the box and I was surrounded by the arms of my long lost angel, "Edward! You posted yourself?!"
"Yuh. Ah mih yu su muh!"
"Sweetie, can you take your fist out of your mouth?"
"Ih suh."
"Stuck? Shhhhh, relax, I'm sure you can get it out if you got it in. Just try to relax. Let me give you some scritches."
No sooner had the scritches begun than my jaw finally unclenched and my soggy, pruned corpse hand slithered from my mouth. Bella is so clever!
"I missed you so much!"
" Oh Edward. I only left a few hours ago, I've literally just arrived."
"The worst hours of my existence." I sobbed against her neck, upsetting her, admittedly rubbish, balance and tumbling her into her cardboard hell hole.
"Shhhhh, it's ok baby, we're together now."
"Please Bella, please, I can't bear it when you leave me."
"It's ok Edward. You're here now. I'm not sure what we're going to do with you. It's so sunny here."
"Do you have a closet?"
"Um, I haven't looked around yet, or unpacked, but yeah, looks like it."
Bella gestured to a closet and we clumsily exited the box as I clung to her in a full body hug. We shuffled over and took a look inside, while there were sadly no sweaters, Bella's summery Arizona wardrobe hung up inside and smelled deliciously of my beloved.
I hissed in satisfaction, "I shall make a nest here and emerge at twilight, if thats ok?"
"Whatever you need Edward. Make yourself at home."
I squeaked and started to burrow around then abruptly stopped. Slowly I scuttled towards Bella and gazed at her coyly.
"Kiss?" She whispered breathlessly.
I nodded and we lost ourselves in a most wonderful long awaited reunion.
"Bella! Are you done unpacking yet? I can't wait to show you the beach! Wear your bathing suit."
"Just a minute mom! Almost done!" Bella yelled, "Can you unpack for me please?"
"Of course darling. May I charge my phone please?"
"Yeah, sure. So that's why you weren't answering my texts. I'll text you where we are once the sun goes down ok? You have permission to lurk."
And lurk I shall!
My nightmare is over and I am overjoyed. Now, I must go, I have a lot of burrowing to do.
Commenters get to spend 8 hours in a cardboard box with Edward.
A/N: sorry for the lack of updates. My laptop broke and is dead dead dead. Writing on my phone isn't ideal, but i hope these chapters made you smile a lot. I was inspired by the children's book Flat Stanley for these chapters, I remember he posted himself at one point and thought Edward would definitely do this to be with Bella too.
