Bella reached out, and grabbed Edwards hand. "You're only as selfish as me. I don't want to leave you either," she said softly, staring at the crook in Edwards elbow, not sure why she didn't look up at him. I guess I'm still alittle embarrassed about expressing my feelings, she thought to herself, as a blush slowly began to rise in her cheeks.

Edward gently raised her blushing face to his, savoring the warmth of her skin on his cold hands. He brushed her cheek with the back of his hand as he whispered, "You're the most selfless person I know; I'm the selfish one. I've been the selfish one from the very beginning, before you even knew me." He pulled his hand from the fading pink of her cheeks, and grabbed her hands delicately.

Bella looked down at their hands, warm against cold, two halves of the same whole, and wondered how he thought that she was so selfless. If anything, she was the selfish one.
"I don't understand the way you figure," she said, softly, closing her eyes, and bringing his hands up to her face, to feel the coolness of his skin against her cheeks once more.

Edward sighed. "Bella, love, I am selfish. When I first saw you that day at school, I knew I should have stayed away. I was selfish in the fact that I exposed you to me, the most dangerous thing to you. Even though I was desperately in love with you, letting myself be near you was the most wrong thing I could have done. But all in the same, it was also the best."

"And I'm glad you did it," Bella murmured softly, slightly muffled, as she brought his hands so they covered her mouth. Lightly, she kissed his fingers, leaving them over her mouth when she was done, not willing to have his skin leave hers.
Bella marvled at his smell. The smell of Edward. She inhaled deeply, and exhaled slowly, savoring the scent.

Edward could never get used to the feeling of her warm skin, her beating heart, and the depth of her warm brown eyes. "I'm glad I did too..." He traced her lips softly with his cool fingertips. "I'm lucky to have you, Bella. I couldn't ever tear myself away from you. No matter what happens, I will never leave you... it would kill me." He closed his golden eyes and sighed.

Bella smiled softly, as his fingers traced her lips. She looked up at him, and watched as his eyes closed. Even now, after all of this time, she couldn't beleive that she had gotten Edward, and looking at him still had a way of taking her breath away. Slowly, she reached up and placed her fingers across his cheek, and marvled at the feel of his cold skin beneath hers.

Edward smiled. He opened his eyes to gaze into hers, and leaned in to kiss her.

Bella's breath caught in her throat as he leaned closer, and her eyes closed as his lips lightly touched hers.

Edward wanted to go on, but knew he couldn't. He broke free, gasping.

When Edwards lips left Bella's, he'd left her breathless. Her eyes opened, and she smiled at him, panting for breath. She blushed slightly when she looked at him, then looked at her hands.

"Well," he said, looking through the glass wall, noticing how fast it had gotten dark in the past couple minutes. "I'd say 'stay the night', but Charlie would be very suspicious. And might restrict me even more from seeing you." He smiled, but it did not touch his eyes.

Bella almost winced. She could just imagine Charlie's face if she didn't show up at home, and she could imagine Charlie barring her from seeing Edward if he found out the reason why. "You're probably right," she said quietly.

"Aren't I always?" he teased, and wrapped an arm tightly, but not too tightly, around her shoulders and led her down the stairs. Once to the door, he opened the door with his free hand, and gestured for her to exit first. As they walked down the gravel driveway to Bella's truck, he turned to her. "See you tomorrow, love." he whispered in her ear.

As always when she parted with Edward, Bella's heart seemed to drop. She looked up at him, but then realized that that probably wasn't the best thing to do, seeing as it would make it harder for her to leave. Softly, she murmured, "It seems like such a long time..."
