My head was spinning. Just a second ago I was lost in a throat burning kiss and in flash Jacob was leaving. I was at a loss for words, when I suddenly felt strong arms wrapped around me protectively. I knew who it was. His scent was too unforgettable; it was Edward, the vampire that I was irrevocably in love with.

He should've been too mad to even touch me, but Edward was too understanding. I could feel his tension as he breathed in Jacob's scent. The scent that was revolting to a vampire.

I was staring blankly at the spot that Jacob had been standing before he went off to the clearing. I knew Edward was staring at me now, worry on his face. He could tell that there was something wrong with me.

"Bella? Bella, what's wrong?" Edward said with a concerned tone to his voice.

"……" I tried to speak but the words didn't come.

Edward was shaking me now. His hands on my shoulders worry etched across his face. And…..his golden eyes that had captured me from the beginning. I was in love with him, but not the same way I was in love with Jacob. I couldn't live without Edward. If Jacob was gone I would find a way to live, even though I might miss him. If I hadn't stopped Edward from being killed by the volturi I wouldn't have been able to live at all.

"Bella!" he was pleading now. "Please say something. You're scaring me." I couldn't resist his voice. It was just as beautiful as he was.

"I'm so sorry."

"Don't be."

"But I am. I love you and….." my words were cut off by Edward's massively strong arms pressing me to him.

This is the feeling I would never want to rid of. I buried my face in his chest never wanting him to let go of me. It seemed like he had only held me for thirty seconds when he pulled away and his lips crashed onto mine. The flame ran through my body like I was on fire. My fingers wound through his hair as I clung myself to him. His icy hands wrapped around my waist as he pulled me tighter to him. The throat burning kiss with Jacob was nothing compared to what I felt when Edward's icy body was pressed against mine. When Edward pulled away we were both gasping for air, even though Edward didn't need it. A smile, my smile, was forming on the corners of his mouth.

"I love you too."

"But…" he put his finger to my lips.

"There is nothing you can say to make me stop loving you." I accepted what he said and nestled closer to him. I breathed in his scent before he could pull away. He picked me up and swung me around until I was on his back. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.

"Ready." I could here the hint of a smile in his voice.

"Umm-hmm." I nodded.

We ran through the cold air. I pressed my lips to the crook of his neck. Before I knew it we were standing on my front porch. I swung around him keeping my arms locked around his neck. Charlie's cruiser wasn't in the drive way. Charlie wouldn't be home for at least another hour or two. I pulled Edward through the door and wrapped myself around him again. He stared into my eyes. Probably trying to hear what was in my head.

"Charlie won't be home for a while. What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do?" he asked, his lips curving up into a smile.

"I have to see if Renée e-mailed me again." He followed me upstairs into my room. Sure enough Renée had sent me another e-mail.

Bella,

I miss you. We should talk more. Phil is doing great. He hurt himself playing baseball. The doctor said that he sprained his shoulder. He should be fine in about a week. When are you and Edward going to come back down and visit? I need to find another hobby. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of trying sky diving. What do you think? I have to go.

Lot's of love, mom.

"When do you think we'll go visit Renée again? I liked it there." Edward was behind me with his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Why do you want to go back to Renée's house? You couldn't go outside at all."

"Renée is nice and who cares if I couldn't go outside. When you weren't with Renée outside, you were inside with me." He started to smile. When I wasn't with Renée Edward and I were together. "And Renée doesn't hover over us all the time like Charlie does." I chuckled as he kissed my cheek. He picked me up and walked over to sit on my bed.

"I have to write back to Renée. Let me go." Edward looked at me questioningly, still refusing to let me go.

"Bella, love, what do you really want to do?" a crooked smile forming on his lips. I knew what he was hinting at.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and looked at him for a moment, still wondering what I did to deserve this. He tightened his grip on me, like he thought I was tricking him and I was going to run off. A second later his lips were crushing mine; I didn't stop him, even though I probably couldn't. Why would I stop? We were never alone in my house. Charlie was always around. He was the one who pulled away. He probably crossed his line.

"I knew you weren't going to stop me."

"How could I? We never get a chance like this." His lips were crushing mine again, but it was different. His lips crushed mine with more fierceness than before.

I wasn't going to stop him. If Edward felt he was stronger than he'd been before, I wasn't going to fight it. My finger's wound through his hair. Edward's hands were pressed against my back as I fell back onto the bed. This is what I wanted the other night but Edward had said that I had to marry him first. The word still annoyed me. Fiancée. Maybe he was going to let me have my way. Edward tried not to put his body pressure on me, which was becoming difficult with me holding onto him tightly. His lips moved down form my lips to my jaw to my throat. I pulled Edward's head back up to touch his lips with mine. The fierceness in his kiss started again. We were like this for a while. All of the sudden Edward flew off of me. Edward was staring at the door with a blank expression.

"Charlie?" it was more of a statement than a question.

"Yes. I'm going to go. I'll be back later." Edward leaned down and kissed my forehead before he left. I quickly got up and went over to my computer planning to finally write Renée back.

"Hey bells I'm going to have dinner at Billy's tonight. Ok?"

"Big game?" that was the only reason Charlie and Billy got together unless they were going fishing.

"Yeah. Are you going to be okay being here by yourself? I could stay and just watch the game here if you want?"

"I'm fine dad. What time do you think you'll be home?"

"if I'm not home by ten' o'clock than I probably stayed at Billy's overnight."

"Ok dad, bye." I said waving Charlie goodbye.

"Bye bells. See you later." Charlie said as he went downstairs.

Charlie left I knew Edward still wouldn't come back until later. He'd probably go hunting or something to pass the time. The time until Edward came was going to go by very slowly. I could tell. I listened to the CD with my lullaby on it waiting until Edward would come.
