The Little Unexpected Things

Faded Memories

Bella P.O.V

Edward is laughing, trying to pull my shirt over my head. I laugh as well when my hair gets stuck in it and we have to pull it a bit harder to get it out. His eyes glow, even when the room is dark. They are dark green pools filled with so much love and desire. I'm straddling him, he is sitting up in the center of the bed, our noses just inches from each other. My hair makes a curtain around us. My hands, slowly, very slowly, run up his arms. Touching every curve, every vein, every texture. They round us around his shoulders, up his neck. He swallows hard, his Addams Apple bobs up and down, but his eyes never leave mine. Our breaths are hot and collide with each breath we take and exhale.

I cup his face between my hands, my heart is beating so loud I think he can hear it.

"Edward?" I pant. Did he feel the same thing I felt?

He wraps his arms around me, pulling me closer to his naked chest. "I know," he breathed.

I pulled his face to mine, lips to me.

And everything inside me exploded.

I bolt on my bed, panting and sweating. I take deep breaths, trying to maintain my composure. What the hell was that? I look around my dark room and my eyes land on my night clock. It's only twelve. I sigh and run my hands through my hair. I must be going crazy. But there is no way I will be able to sleep tonight, at least not alone. I crawl out of bed. The floor is too cold so I slip in my flip flops and walk out of my room. A small part of me says, you just had a weird dream about him! Are you really going to slip in his bed to go to sleep?

And the answer is yes.

Edward is sleeping on his back, like he usually does and there is enough space beside him for me to fit. I pull the covers beside him, I have to tug harder than before because his heavy ass is on top of them and crawl in. I scoot closer to him and pull his arm over me. He's so warm. He shifts awake and looks at me with sleepy eyes.

"Hey," he croaked. He turned on his side, turning me over the other side and hugs me from behind, laying his hand on my belly. "Can't sleep?"

"Weird dream," I whisper.

It takes him a moment to answer. "Want to talk about it?"

I shook my head. "I just want to sleep."

"Mmm... okay." He kisses the back of my head. "Good night."

"Good night."

My fingers draw patterns around his arm that protectively wrapped around my waist. He had fallen asleep, but I couldn't. I couldn't shake away the fact of what we had just done and how right it felt instead of wrong. I couldn't sleep and the sun was still far from rising.

Then, out of nowhere, he starts placing small kisses along my shoulder, up in between where my neck and shoulder meet, my jaw and he begins to nibble on my ear. I sigh happy and press myself tighter to him.

"I thought you were asleep," I whispered.

"For a moment," he whispered back. "Can't sleep if I'm like this."

"Like what?"

"Happy."

I chuckle. "I'm happy too."

I turn on my back, he remains on his side. I kiss his jaw, down to his shoulder like he had previously and make my way up to find his lips. He kisses me and the kiss turns hungry, we both latch harder onto each other. Next thing I know, he rolls over and he's on top of me again, caging my head between his arms. Mine lock themselves around his shoulders, latching my fingers through his hair and pull him deeper into our kiss. He uses his leg to spread mine to come between them...
