Falling for You

Too Tired

"Bells, I'm going into the station. Edward's downstairs waiting for you." Charlie was knocking on my door.

I groaned and rolled over, "Dad, tell him it's too early."

I could hear Charlie chuckle through the door, "I'll see you when I get home, Bells."

About five minutes later, the door creaked, the bed squeaked, and two very comforting arms encircled me. "Mmm...morning."

I felt his chest rumble as he kissed my hair. I snuggled into him, finally feeling comfortable. I had tossed and turned the whole night. He seemed just as content as I was, because he didn't move.

I was nearly asleep when he spoke, "Love, we can't just lay in bed all day."

"Sure we can. For the first time there's no annoying little pixie to drag me away, or a big bear and his unbelievably hot girlfriend to walk in without knocking. I think it's the perfect time to stay in bed all day."

He chucked, "My mother is expecting us soon."

I groaned, "But I'm tired. School's out, we don't have jobs, and all of our roommates are gone. I see absolutely no reason to get out of this bed." I looked up at him. "Especially now that you're here."

He leaned down and captured my lips. Though his lips moved slowly against mine, my pulse raced through my body. He kissed me until I was light-headed and out of breath. When he finished with my lips, he moved to my neck.

"Well, now I'm awake, but you're not helping your chances of getting me out of this bed today."

His breath fanned my neck as he chuckled. "Then I should probably stop." He trailed more kisses up my neck and across my jaw and placing a deep kiss on my lips. "I promised my mom you'd be at the house today. And you know I can't disappoint my mom."

He sat up, pulling me with him. I tried to hold him down on the bed, but he was so much stronger than I was. "This is going to be a long month if you aren't going to let me sleep"

He leaned in to kiss my forehead before leaning his own against it. "If it helps, I'm having just as much trouble sleeping as you are."

I caressed his cheek, "It doesn't help, but thanks for trying."

He leaned his cheek into my hand and closed his eyes. He slowly brought his hand up to mine and interlaced our fingers. He turned his head to kiss the palm of my hand. "Maybe I could climb through your window."

I had to laugh, "Edward, you are not climbing that tree. It's older than this house. If it snaps, you'll break your neck."

He sighed and pulled me to my feet. "Well, we're gonna have to find a way to sleep. I can't function this way."

I took a moment to really look at him. I reached up to stroke the bruises beneath his eyes. He really hadn't been sleeping lately. He'd been busy with exams, only coming to bed in the early hours of the morning. Now he wasn't sleeping because we weren't together. "Edward, I really think we should stay here. You need some sleep."

He simply smiled and leaned in for a sweet kiss. "I'll be fine. Maybe we'll take a nap later. For right now, you need to get dressed, because my parents are waiting."

I narrowed my eyes at him but went to my closet anyway. I heard him sit on my bed, so I got my cloths and went to the bathroom.

I didn't take long. As much as I wanted to see Esme and Carlisle again, I was hoping to get it over with quickly so I could get some time alone with Edward.

I walked back in my room and found Edward stretched out comfortably on my bed. He looked so at home, here in my old house. I walked over to him quietly and leaned in for a kiss. I felt him smiled under my lips.
