The boy's feet pounded up the stairs frantically. Bella rushed and got to her door, just as she pulled a sundress over her head. Jack rushed into her room, his eyes scanning the room frantically. 

"Jack, baby, what's wrong?" she asked, innocently.

"Mom!" he screeched. "Who clothes are downstairs on the floor?!"

"Mine?" she responded, sounding more like a question. 

"Not all of them. There are a dude's pants and shoes." He narrowed his eyes at his mother. "Are you cheating on Dad?! Mom! How could you?!"

The sound of something knocked over in the bathroom drew Jack's attention. His eyes widened.

"Is there someone in there?" he whisper-yelled.

Bella bit her lip and tried not to laugh as the boy stalked over to the door.

"Come out, now," Jack called out. "If not, I'm calling my Grandpop. He has a gun!"

"I miss you, too," Bella replied in a sigh, reaching out to touch the computer screen. 

"One month, Bell. One month and I'll be there by your side. It can't go by fast enough."

She couldn't help but return the bright smile that was etched across his face and nodded in agreement. Her brow scrunched in confusion when a bell rang from her laptop's speakers. 

"Where are you at?"

Edward grinned sheepishly. "I'm at the bookstore a few blocks from the office. I've been coming here for lunch. It might sound weird, but I kinda feel closer to you here."

A Dream Within A Dream

by Edgar Allan Poe
(published 1850)

  

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow --
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand --
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep -- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

"I love you," she whispered, a lone tear falling silently. 

"Ssh," he whispered against her lips. "Don't do this now. Don't say goodbye to me like this."

Bella ignored his words and pressed up against him. "Please, Edward. I need you."

He reached down, one hand cupped her cheek and the other gripped her bottom, pulling her closer. His tongue delved into her mouth, tasting the sweetness of red wine still on her tongue. The kiss, which started out soft and gentle, quickly turned desperate and demanding.

Bella flung her arms out, grasping at the ledges while Edward pressed her back against the bookshelf. She let out a moan and flung her head back, ignoring the sting of pain from hitting the books behind her. She writhed and panted as his lips trailed down her jaw settled at the base of her neck. One hand left it's perch to run through his hair, lightly scratching his scalp.
