Edward POV:

            Bella fell asleep in my arms. I stayed with her all night; when she woke up I would pretend I had fallen asleep, too. She seemed so peaceful in her sleep. She was so beautiful. It amazed me that she loved me, too. First of all, it was crazy anyone would fall in love with someone in one day. Second, it was crazy that her sub-conscious mind didn’t pick up on the fact I was dangerous, or didn’t care. Third, she was an angel; I was a demon. None of it made sense! But I was glad for it, it didn’t have to make sense, I was just happy that I had her. I’d never been happier in my life. In two days she’d made me the happiest man on the planet. I was so lucky. I didn’t deserve her.

            “Edward.” Bella mumbled. That’s odd, I hadn’t heard her heart speed up, to tell me she was awake. “I love you.” She mumbled again and then shifted slightly in my arms. Then I realized she was sleep talking. She talked in her sleep! How adorable is that! I kissed the top of her head, she smelled liked strawberry shampoo, and of course, her blood was irresistible, but I didn’t have the urge to suck her dry. Because, if I did, I would lose her, and that would be unbearable. “ I love you, too.”

            I held her until she woke up. This time I heard her heart quicken. “ Good morning.” She looked up at me groggily, “Edward? What are you still doing here?”

“I fell asleep last night.”

“When did you wake up?”

“About five minutes ago.”

“Oh, okay.” She sat up, and then she tried to stand up, but she tripped over a box of markers and nearly fell flat on her face. I caught her. “You okay?” I asked her worriedly. “Fine, thank you.” I pulled her into a standing position. “Let’s try that again, shall we. Good morning,” I took her face in my hands and pressed my lips to hers. She took her hands from my chest and put them around my neck, as she continued to move her lips with mine. When she finally pulled away to breath she rested her head on my chest, I held it there with one hand and kept the other on her lower back. She wrapped her arms around my waist. We stayed like that for a few minutes, until she heard Rora coming down the stairs. I had heard earlier, but I didn’t want to let her go.
