Chapter 423 - Moments (1/2)
”That was beautiful, I've missed you.” Whispered Edward
”I haven't missed you.”
”I guess we would have to do something about that won't we, Gu Zhou?”
”He is at a friend's house.”
”Good, because I am about to make you scream.”
And Edward proceeded to do just that, all night long. By the time they were done, the sun was already peeking out at them and Amy was very sore and exhausted.
If she had the strength, she would have kicked him out of her bed but she didn't, so she let him spoon her.
A smile on her face as she slept off. Later that day, they both woke up around past eleven, their bodies still sore but rested a bit.
Edward grabbed Amy before she could leave the bed and turned her to face him. His fingers brush against her soft skin, his eyes zoning in on the stitch mark from where the knife cut had been sewn.
He gently brushed his fingertips against it then bent down to kiss it.
”I made a terrible mistake letting you go Amy.” Edward started saying but she put her fingers over his lips.
Amy shook her head; she was not ready to hear those words said again because she knew. She knew deep in her heart that if he said it, she would be forced to acknowledge the truth that she had come to realize over the weeks they had been apart.
Edward removed her hands from his lips and smiled at her.
”I made a mistake and I have come to rectify it.”
”I am not good for you Edward; I am too weak to live in your world.”
”No, don't say that. You are the strongest part of my world Amy Lee; without you my entire world would collapse.”
”You're just saying that to make me feel good.”
Edward sat up and took her with him, the light from the windows playing on their bodies.
”I hardly say thing I don't mean Amy, that is not my way and you know it.”
Amy didn't want to believe him; she didn't know why she was fighting him either.
”I love you; I will always love you Amy and I am going to keep saying it until you believe me.”
She couldn't hold the tears anymore, Amy started crying. Edward didn't try to stop her, he just held her against him and allowed her get it all out.
She cried for what seemed like hours but was only five minutes before the raking stopped. She looked up at Edward with her swollen red eyes and tear stained face, to him she couldn't have looked anymore beautiful.
”I love you too, Edward.”
He was a bit taken back by her words; he hadn't expected her to say them back. In fact, he had been prepared just incase she never said the words back to him. To hear those words from her was a bit overwhelming.
Edward brought her face closer and gently c.a.r.e.s.sed her lips with his own. They stayed locked together like that until the ringing of the doorbell drew them apart.
”Are you expecting someone?” he asked.
”It's Gu. He has a key, but the ringing of the doorbell first is a new rule.”
Edward kissed her one last time before he left the bed and went to her bathroom to clean up. Amy stood up too and pulled her robe back on then left the room to go and greet her brother.
”Good morning sister ,” greeted Gu Zhou.
”How was your sleepover?”
”Ronnie made us play zombie wars, it was pretty scary.”
”That's nice.”
