" I like how u smell "

"How did u do it?"

I asked quietly

He knew what I meant

" I'm not sure"

He looked away from my wondering eyes, lifting my gauze - wrapped hand from the bed

and holding it gently in his, careful not to disrupt the wire connecting me to one of

 the monitors.

I waited patiently for the rest

He sighed without returning my gaze

" It was impossible..to stop"

He whispered

"I'm possible, But I did"

He looked up finally, with half a smile

" I must love u "

"Don't I taste as good as I smell?"

I smiled in reponse, that hurt my face

" Even better, better than I'd imagined"

"I'm going to die. I may not die now...but I'm going to die sometime. Every minute of the day, I get closer N I'm going to get old. That's how it's supposed to happen.

How it should happen. How it would have happened if I didn't exist- N I shouldn't

 exist"

"That's stupid. That's like going to someone who's just won the lottery, taking their

money, N saying...Bella, We're not having this discussion anymore.I refuse to

damm u to an eternity of right N that's the end of it"

"If u think that's the end, then u don't know me very well "

I warned him

" u're not the only vampire I know...Alice already saw it. didn't she? I guessed that's why the things she says upset u. She knows I'm going to be like u..someday"

"She's wrong. she also saw u dead, but that didn't happen, either..Is that what u dream about? Being a monster?"

" Not exactly"

I said frowning at his word choice, Monster, indeed

" Mostly I dream about being with u forever"

"Bella, I will stay with u. isn't that enough?"

I smiled under his fingertips

"Enough for me"

I said

" I love more than everything else in the world combined. Isn't that enough?"

"Yes , it is enough"

He answered, smiling

"Enough for forever"
