Somebody To Love

I didn't want to be saying goodbye to Bella, not when it meant months before I could be with her again. Carlisle had given her a clean bill of health and when it was time to take her home, I changed my original plan. Once we were in the car, I began to drive towards my home. Bella was silent, she knew I didn't want to be leaving and I didn't agree with this. Carlisle would be taking care of everything else and for the most part, my family was completely okay with our departure.

"You're mad at me." Bella said finally speaking to me, causing me to look at her. Her head was lowered and her hands were folded in her lap and she was completely avoiding me all together. I sighed and leaned over, taking her hand in my own, forcing her to acknowledge me.

"I am not mad." I said softly, squeezing her hand, "I'm sad that I have to leave. I'm upset with the wolves for behaving like this but the last thing I am is mad at you. I'll come and see you as much as I can. I won't be leaving you completely."

Bella nodded her head slowly and swallowed, her eyes watering up again, "I just don't want you thinking I want you to leave. I want you to stay but it's too dangerous right now." I nodded my head, trying to keep my own emotions in check. Bella didn't need my sadness on top of her own. We drove the rest of the way in silence and pulled into the driveway of my home. I shut the engine off and climbed out, reaching Bella's side in a flash. I opened the door and took her hand, leading her away from the house towards the woods.

"Where are we going?" She questioned. I ignored her and instead picked her up and began to run. I could feel her warm cheek press against my back and it spurred me on. Finally I reached our destination and lowered Bella to the ground again. I stepped back and let her examine where we were.

"Wow." She whispered as I watched her fingers trail down the door to the small cottage. Esme had finally completed it and it was to be our wedding gift from her and Carlisle but it seemed that this would be the first and last time we were here together, at least for some time.

"It's ours." I finally said as I stepped to her side, "Esme built it for us. This is what we can come back to one day." I bit my lip and waited for Bella's reaction. She turned to me and pressed her lips up to mine in a moving kiss. I smiled against her lips and wrapped my arms around her back, lifting her up as I did so. She responded by wrapping her legs around my waist, her warmth turning me on once more. I reached out for the door and pushed it open, stepping inside the small cottage with her. I had wanted Bella to see the house first but right now, all I wanted was the bedroom.

We stumbled through the living room, our lips joined the entire time as we did. Pushing the door to the bedroom open, we hit the bed and Bella forced me onto my own back. I laughed and pulled back from the kiss, looking up into her eyes, "And when did you get so dominate?"

"Right. Now." She teased between kisses. Suddenly she bit down on my own lip, eliciting a moan from me, which merely spurred her on. I could of kept kissing her but her need to breath finally cut up to us and our lips parted. Pinned down underneath Bella, I smiled up at her, moving the few pieces of hair that had fallen away from her gorgeous face. I didn't know how I was supposed to make it through the last few months without her here with me. I sighed sadly and wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling Bella down to my side.

"You wanted to go to prom." I stated in a matter of fact tone. Bella let out her on sigh and rolled onto her side, facing me as a finger danced along my jaw.

"Yes but I'd rather have my wife in a non life endangering situation." She responded, her eyes burning holes through me. I scoffed and rolled my eyes; tilting my head downwards to face her, "Then explain to me again why I'm leaving my wife in a life endangering situation?"
