BPOV

During my shower I realized that I didn't have clothes to change into....crap. I got out of the shower and realized that there were fresh sweat pants and a t-shirt sitting on the sink. I wondered how much he had to pay the hotel to go shopping for him.

"I got you a few things because I wasn't sure what you would want." He said.

A few was an understatement. There were all sorts of things from appetizers' like wings and fries, breakfast food complete with eggs and bacon, deserts of all sorts and all the way down to a steak dinner with a baked potato. "Edward there is enough food here to feed 10 people."

"I wanted you to have a variety."

After I ate until I could physically chew another bite Edward asked, "I suppose you will want to know about our grade in creative writing, I looked online this morning."

"Um," I was a little confused….and then it clicked, "Oh, OHHH."I had completely forgotten in fact it didn't even register to me. I was completely distracted by Edwards surprise appearance that I hadn't had time to think about it. "You're…Tristan?"

"You seem surprised Bella."

"Well, I guess I hadn't really thought about it, you know since well you know?" It was true I hadn't thought much about anything but him in the past 24 hours, nothing else seemed important. In fact, I hadn't thought to call Charlie to tell him that I was not coming home yesterday, granted I was unconscious but still he was still probably wondering where I was. Edward looked at me as if he was reading my expression.

"Alice already called him, she told him that she ran into you at the mall and that you were staying with her for a few days to catch up."

Great I'm sure Charlie was happy about that, not that he didn't adore Alice but anything that even had the slightest inkling to do with Edward aggravated him profusely.

"So do you want to know?" Edward said somewhat earnestly.

He broke me out of my daze, "…huh …wha….what, know what?"

"Our grade Bella…in our class."

"O, yea. Sure…ok what is it?"

He looked at me with that crooked smile I had missed so much. "We got an A love."

I smiled back, "good cause if we didn't I would just blame it on my partner, which consequently happens to be you."

"Is that so?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Yep." I almost forgot what this was like. Our comedic banter was waking a feeling inside of me that once upon a time had sworn itself never to seek me out again. Yet here the emotion was banging down the door to my heart…and I wasn't going to stop it in fact I was going to greet it with pleasant salutations. Welcome happiness, it's been a long time.

After a while of mindless flirting, I began to slip into the feelings of comfort. I had only been with him again for 24 hours and already it was as if he never left. The whole in my chest wasn't filled because it was like it was never there at all.

"Bella, as much as I am enjoying this I need to ask you something serious."

"Ok…"

"I know that I can never make up for what I did to you but I need to know if you could ever forgive me. I will spend forever trying to make it up to you if you let me please just give me a chance to ma…"

"Promise," I interjected.

I could tell he was taken aback from my interruption. "What?"

"Do you promise everything that you just said is true?"

"Of course Bella, with all that I have."

"Then I forgive you. But of course we will have to talk to Carlisle about the change so we should probably go see them soon." I saw his face realize what he had said and what it implied to me…forever…that implied me becoming a vampire.

"Don't look at me like that Edward, you said you promised."

"Bella," he said firmly.

"Don't even go there Edward, if you really love me the way you say you do then you will want me enough to be with you forever!"

"Bella," he said more sweetly this time, "I was just going to say that I love you and if that is what you want then I would be honored to spend the rest of eternity making it up to you."

"Oh...I actually wasn't expecting that. You mean you're not going to fight me on this at all?"

"No Bella, I'm not. I am done living without you and I meant it when I said I want to spend forever making it up to you, if you will have me. I just have a few more question first, well really only two."

"Ok." I said prompting him to continue.

"Are you ready to go home?"

"Yes, I suppose I am your coming right?"

"I would follow you anywhere love. I just need to do something first."

"What," my eyes met his and they looked at me intensely.

He approached me and wrapped an arm around my face and his other came to caress my cheek. "I have missed every part of you Bella." His face leaned closer, "your smile, your spirit," and closer still, "your hair, your smell," he inhaled deeply, "god Bella how I've missed your smell." I had to keep reminding myself to breathe, especially when his fingers on my waist traced the small patch of skin exposed between where my shirt met my pants. "…and your body, I missed the way your soft body curled against mine when you slept," his lips were so close to mine that we were almost touching now, "but most of all Bella, your lips I've missed your lips and how they fit to mine like they were made as a matching pair to mine." With that, he joined his lips with mine and I was home once again.
