Chapter 21- Tell Your Heart |
EPOV
“Hey, Edward! Come get your girl! She may have had too much to drink!” I hear Rose yell from the parking lot.
I open the door to our apartment and I see Bella waving at me from the front seat of my sister’s car.
“Honey! I’m home!” She screams.
“I can see that, baby. Good day?” I ask, grabbing her packages out of the back seat. “Neiman Marcus? Louboutin? Definitely an expensive day.”
“So expensive, Edward, but I look so hot in my new dress.” She slurs. “Your parents are going to love me and then Rose says I can be a Cullen.” She wiggles her eyebrows at me.
I turn to look at Rosalie so fast that I think I give myself whiplash. “You told her what?”
Rose just laughs at me. “See ya later, baby bro. Put the beamer away, would ya?”
“Yeah, I’ll put it away. See ya.” I sigh.
I take Bella inside, and hang her dress up and put her shoes away. I hear her giggling to herself in the bathroom. My girl is tipsy.
“How much did you drink today, love?” I chuckle as she comes out of the bathroom.
“I only had three drinks, but it was wine. Wine is not my friend, Eddie.” She says loudly, though I can tell that she thinks she’s whispering.
“I think you should lay down, B. Sleep off your wine.” I take her hand and lead her to our bed.
“Okay, will you lay with me?”
“Of Course, Angel.” I pull the covers down and wait for her to crawl inside.
I lay down facing her, and run my fingers through her hair. I watch her eyes flutter closed it makes me smile. Even after everything that has happened between us and around us I am still taken back that she trusts me enough to fall asleep in my arms. She is so beautiful and looks so innocent. I don’t know who or what brought her into my miserable life, but I am one lucky bastard.
My thoughts go to what Rose said about Bella becoming a Cullen. I haven’t really thought that far ahead, and we surely haven’t talked about it yet, but I know that it is definitely something that I want. It seems silly to be thinking about it so soon, but knowing how much I love her it really isn’t a question in my mind. I want her to be my wife and I want to have babies with her. I guess it’s something that we should talk about soon.
