Changing our forever.

Changing our forever 9

BPOV

I awoke early Tuesday morning, surprising Edward. Well, he had been aware of me preparing to wake, but he was surprised it was at 6am. I had been having a dream about snow and Tyler's van. I remembered the van accident had been when Edward revealed himself for the first time, in the process of saving me.

"Has it been snowing?" I wondered. Edward smiled at me.

"Yes, it has," he murmured in amusement. "I know you don't like the cold and the wet, but snow can be such fun for vampires. You must know how much I love you that I am here with you instead of playing in it with my siblings."

"You could have left."

"Oh, silly Bella. Don't you know that when I am holding you in my arms, there is no place I would rather be?"

I smiled, touched by his romantic drivel. I pulled his head down to mine, and we kissed passionately. I moaned into his mouth and ran my tongue over his bottom lip. His lips parted, and his cool, sweet breath washed over me, intoxicating me. His cold tongue slipped into my mouth, dancing with mine. He pulled my lower body closer to him, so our chests were touching, without the blanket in-between us. The coldness of his skin through his shirt and through my thin pajamas was enough to cause a reaction. He groaned, and I knew he could feel the pebbles brushing against his marble torso. Abruptly, he pulled away, gasping for breath.

"If I don't stop now, I won't be able to stop at all."

"So don't stop," I encouraged, trying to pull him closer to me again. He rolled his eyes at me.

"Now is not the time for this."

I pouted, but he simply swooped in to plant a quick kiss on my lips, before climbing out of bed. I still had an extra 45 minutes to kill before my usual time to rise and shine. I knew how I wanted to fill that time, but apparently by gorgeous vampire boyfriend wasn't going to comply. I sighed and remembered my dream. I guess we could spend the time talking at least.

"Edward, do you remember from the first book what happened on this day?"

He frowned. "Yes, you almost got squished by Tyler's van, but I saved you, revealing my inhuman abilities in the process. But don't worry. It's not going to happen. You're not driving your truck. You'll be riding with me instead, so everything is already changed."

"But Edward, nothing has changed for Tyler. We know he is going to crash his van in the parking lot. It would be irresponsible of us to allow that to happen."

Edward gave me a stern glance. "It is not our place to play God with other people's lives."

"What? We already have! Not only have we changed things for ourselves, but we've changed things for everyone around us. The wolves, your siblings, even Angela and Ben. What is this really about?"

"Well, how much should we tempt fate, interfere in the way things are supposed to be?"

"You've heard of the butterfly effect haven't you? That if you went back in time thousands of years and killed a single butterfly, that change could massively affect how the world works today, right? So, we have already made massive changes. We're talking a herd of elephants, not just a butterfly. With all the things we've already done, to refuse to prevent injury to someone we know just because is awfully hypocritical. Does this have anything to do with the fact that it brought me to his attention, and he thought he was taking me to prom? Are you jealous?"

He wouldn't meet my eyes, so I knew that it was true. "How petty, Edward. I mean, get real. Don't worry, I'll make the call for you."

He brought his eyes up to mine and grabbed my hand. "What call?"
