31 Chapter 31...Sparkle (2/2)
The way Edward wrapped me in a warm swaddle of his chest and arms. I didn't want to leave. It felt as if when I was in his arms all my pain went away - mental and physical, mostly the depressing pain. If I could only stay in his arms forever, safe from the world's harmful people. One could only hope.
Edward POV
If there is one thing that I want to do forever apart from loving her would be hugging her. In her embrace the world stopped still on its axis. There was no time, no wind, no rain.My mind was at peace. The hug and the love between us is Pure. Unselfish. Undemanding. Free. I felt her body press in, soft and warm. This was the love I'd waited for, prayed for. I inwardly thanked God and hugged all the tighter. A love like this was to be cherished for life.
Zen POV
Despite the crispness of the suit and the perfect tailoring the man was also ridiculously handsome. Against his smooth white skin his black hair moved in the breeze. It was cold enough for some to be in winter jackets still, but he made no motion to suggest he even felt it. On his feet were shiny black shoes that I couldn't imagine the guy polishing himself.
I wanted to kill that bastard.. He wanted to support my Bella... Why am I so unlucky he is the one comforting her and I am stuck with a gold digger.
”Oh honey why are you so rude to me .... ” Shophia continued her annoying tone and I was about to burst with anger but I controlled myself..
But even after the fact that I hated Edward.. In his eyes showed the kind of gentle care and affection that can't be a lie. The way he laid his hand lightly on Bella's shoulder, and instead of flinching like She usually did when I did the same, She was soothed by it. He left his hand there and spoke with such a soft voice and Bella's face was evidence that she felt his words calming her much more than my words..more by the way they were said than the actual words. It felt as if she were wrapped in a blanket of his caring.
I saw different sparkle in Bella's eyes with Edward it was more pure and natural and different from what she had with me and I sighed that maybe ”leaving her with Edward is the best choice?”
But I suddenly shaked my head dragging myself to the reality
”I can't give up on her just because of some sparkle.... I have to make her fall in love with me again!... ”
