Chapter One Edward's POV A/N: Yaaaaaaay! I'm back with a new story. I had a bunch of ideas for what I could do for my second story but then I finally to just do this one and hold on to the others for future stories. My first story was such a success for me that it encouraged me to write up this new one ASAP. At first I couldn't decide on exactly how I'm going to do the whole thing but then I thought what the hell, I'll just go with the flow as Americans put it. I know you all just want to read the damn story already so your wish is my command.
An Entrapment Each facet of your being whether it physical or spiritual is an ensnarement from which there is no release. But I do not wish release.
My love, I have tried with all my being
to grasp a form comparable to thine own,
but nothing seems worthy;
I know now why Shakespeare could not compare his love to a summer's day.
It would be a crime to denounce the beauty of such a creature as thee,
to simply cast away the precision God had placed in forging you.
I wish to stay entrapped forever.
With you for all eternity.
Our hearts,
always as one. - Anthony Kolos –
The pale subtle moonlight flooded through the window. I gazed at the angel sleeping peacefully in the sanctuary of my arms, with her head burrowed into my chest.
My heart ached at the beautiful sight before me. The moonlight kissing her skin made her look luminescent and her hair – which was draped like seaweed over my chest and her pillow appeared jet black. Bella never looked more peaceful or beautiful as she did at this moment.
I still couldn't believe my luck. Bella is such a beautiful, smart, funny and pure girl. She drew males in unconsciously like a moth to a flame and she could have picked any of them. Yet she chose me, a "vegetarian" vampire who craves her blood more than any other human he has ever encountered and most likely will ever encounter.
She stripped down my well dressed lies and revealed the naked truth with so little effort on her part.
The knowledge she gained about me in my – no our meadow would send any sane person running for the hills screaming bloody murder. Yet she's stayed by my side through every revelation, each darker than the last with only compassion and love in her gaze.
If I thought I couldn't love Isabella Marie Swan anymore than I already had, then I was sadly mistaken. Every second I spend with Bella makes me fall just a little bit deeper for her than I already had.
I smiled to myself as I recounted in my head the events of the day. I was in complete awe of my Bella today when I took her to meet my family. She talked and interacted with them like she did with me, like we were a normal family, like we were human just like her.
Nothing made me happier than to see my family's remaining doubts about our relationship fade away and replaced with love and acceptance towards the newest Cullen.
She fit so perfectly in our family that one would think she's been with us for years.
Carlisle and Esme consider her their newest daughter and my siblings – even Rosalie who had significantly warmed up to Bella after meeting her considers her as their newest and youngest sister.
She especially bonded with Alice who can't wait to play Bella Barbie and go on all the future shopping trips and Emmett who finds Bella's clumsiness and blush positively endearing and humorous.
Just like me, they too fell in love with Miss Bella Swan – though of course not in the same way it was hard not to.
She even watched my family and I play baseball. To have her still accept us and our nature so completely after really showing her our inhuman strength and speed made me impossibly happier than I already was.
Tomorrow, we will have to face the tedious ordeal of high school were we will most defiantly have to endure rumours and gossip after the population of Forks high school that we are an official couple now.
I know that Bella is dreading the stares and attention will be directed our way from tomorrow. I share her views for the most part, I too do not wish to have people speculate and talk about our relationship and what may or may not happen behind closed doors.
But there's a part of me that would like nothing more than to shout from every roof top that I am with the most desirable women on Earth.
Regardless, we will deal with it together. Sooner or later they will get tired of us and the population of Forks will have another piece of gossip to keep them momentarily occupied.
"I love you Edward" Bella murmured softly in her sleep.
God, every time she says that it feels like my heart will start beating again.
"I love you too, Bella" I responded just as softly as I cupped her cheek lovingly in my hand.
"Mmmmm..." She sighed as she leaned into my palm.
It continues to surprise me how quickly I'm becoming desentisized to her scent the more I spend time with her.
I surprised the both of us today after the baseball match by giving a longer than usual kiss filled with much more passion than usual. It wasn't even as hard as I'd thought it would be.
My boundaries are still in place for her safety of course, but the are definitely looser.
The inner seventeen year old boy in me rejoiced at the knowledge that with the more time I spend with my lovely angel, the more I get to loosen my boundaries.
After all, Bella made it no secret that she desired me in that way and though I'm not ready for that type of intimacy yet, I might be able to one day, which is more than I could have ever hoped for.
Bella's POV
Nothing made me happier than to wake up and see my own personal Adonis gazing lovingly down at me first thing in the morning.
I must have done something truly spectacular in my past life to deserve him.
"Good morning beautiful, did you sleep well?"
"Mmmhmmm... Especially when you're with me" I yawned as I snuggled into the crook of his neck and inhaled deeply his intoxicating scent.
"I need a human minute" I admitted sheepishly, reluctant to leave his arms.
"Of course my love" he kissed me affectionately on the cheek before detangling himself from me and leaving the room.
"I'll make you breakfast" I hear him call from downstairs.
I sighed when I remembered what we would have to say and grabbed my toiletries before heading into the bathroom to freshen up.
Edward left shortly after I finished my breakfast to go and get his Volvo.
The ride to school had to be one of the most nerve racking experiences I have ever had.
I just know it will be like my first day all over again, the stairs, the gossip. I shuddered at the thought.
For once Edward didn't ask me what I was thinking but I knew that it was just because it was so obvious.
He just held my hand with the hand that wasn't on the wheel, and drew soothing circled on the back of my hand with his fingers which I admit helped relax me considerably.
"God I just know Jessica is going to bombard me for details for weeks to come" I groaned.
"Don't worry love, it won't last forever" he consulted me gently.
"Yeah I know I just hate having people ask about something that is none of their business"
"I can't argue with that" Edward conceded.
When I looked out of the window and saw that we were pulling into the student lot.
I gulped nervously and felt my heart thundering like crazy in my chest. I knew Edward could clearly hear it.
"Ready to enter the lion's den?" He asked jokingly though I could clearly detect concern for me in his voice.
It was the concern that finally diminished all my axsiety.
I gazed into his beautiful topaz eyes and was struck again with the love I felt for him.
Who cares what other people think, I love him, he loves me and that's all that matters.
"As ready as I'll ever be" I replied evenly.
He smiled my favorite crooked smile before releasing my hand to open the door to his side of the car and half running to my side of the car.
I accepted his extended hand and prepared myself for the drama that is sure to come.
A/N: So what do you think so far. Next Chapter will be in Jessica's POV. I will take turns to do it in other characters POV like Lauren and Mike. So you know what to do! R&R! Love you! :*
