In your eyes;;Noelle

[Anthony Cullen]

In your eyes
love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat

in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes

Anthony woke up with the sun shining in the window onto his face; not unusual for California. Anthony didn’t have to work that day. He was planning a surprise for Noelle that night. She was still asleep in his arms. After about ten minutes she looked up at him and smiled. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. At this moment he was very happy that she couldn’t tell what he was planning. Hello! Anthony chuckled to himself. She was extremely awake this morning. Well hello… you are very awake this morning. She smiled up at him again. No, I just had a really good nights sleep. He sighed and looked up at the ceiling. Happy third anniversary honey. As he said this her jaw dropped a little. Did you think that I forgot? She nodded her head and he laughed at her a little bit. How could he forget this? He would never forget the day that they first started to go out. How could I forget that day? I know that I’ll never forget that day or the day that I first saw you in the hall arguing with Chance outside of the gym. She buried her head into his chest at his name. I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have said his name… I’m sorry. Anthony knew that she hated to hear his name after what he did to her. Great way to start the day off Anthony… make her sad about him.

They got dressed for the day. I have reservations at our favorite Chinese restaurant tonight. Ok. That’s sounds great! Anthony got dressed in a tee shirt and some jeans; something comfortable since they didn’t have to be out until later that night. They sat on the couch and started to watch one of the movies that was on TV; it was one of the old movies so they weren’t that interested in it. The day passed slowly and it was finally approaching the time that they had to leave to get to the restaurant. It was one of the fancier Chinese restaurants in California.

Anthony dinner and the engagement ring

They got into Anthony’s car he was all dressed up and had his surprise in his pocket. He held Noelle’s hand the whole ride there. He couldn’t wait to get there. He had made their reservations for a back room so that they had it all to themselves. Anthony let Noelle out by the door and went and parked the car. He then walked up to meet her and they walked in. The hostess sat them in the room where they were alone. Anthony smiled at Noelle. He now knew that she knew something was up when he got them the back room and didn’t tell her about it. He usually tells her everything. Do you like it back here? She nodded and started to look around. They got their menus and they ordered. They got done eating and Anthony got up. Noelle looked at him with curiosity burning out of her eyes. What are you doing? Anthony just kept the smile on his face as he got down on one knee next to the table. Then a shocked expression crossed her face. Noelle… my love, my life, my everything. I’d love to spend the rest of forever with you, will you marry me? Noelle then started to cry. He pulled out the ring and showed it to her. He stayed on his knee as he waited for her answer.

[Noelle Cullen]

This I promise you
When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..
And I will take
You in my arms

And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...
This I promise you

Noelle woke up with a smile on her face. Today was their three year anniversary. She couldn’t get any happier; today seemed different though, more special. She looked up at Anthony and smiled. Gladly he leaned down and kissed her forehead. Hello! She was ecstatic today… Noelle was completely head over heels in love with Anthony. He said happy anniversary and she was a bit surprised. Generally he didn’t remember dates, but this was just another anniversary…wasn’t it?

They just laid around watching movies and cuddling. It was so boring and she couldn’t focus on anything but Anthony. She intertwined her fingers with his as they watched the movie. After an hour of watching she turned to face him. Done with the movie? He teased her as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Slowly she leaned forward and kissed him. Her tongue ran along his bottom lip seeking an entrance. He opened his mouth enough to let her in. she loved how close he held her now. He would let her go as far as she wanted and knew how far he could go with her. His arms stayed tight around her waist. Noelle was completely in love with him. She settled back down against his chest and they finished the movie.

As they drove to the restaurant Anthony held her hand. She was excited for more time with him, but she had a surprise for him back at the apartment…He dropped her off by the doors and left to park the car. It was only minutes before he was back with her. They went inside and she was a little surprised that they had a whole room to themselves, but it was nice. They ate and she couldn’t help but wonder, what was he planning? Anthony stood up and now she was really curious. Her eyes questioned him as he slid down on his knee with a smile on his face. She was shocked, no way did she expect this from him. Noelle…my love, my life, my everything, I’d love to spend the rest of forever with you, will you marry me? She couldn’t help but cry as he pulled out the ring. It was amazingly beautiful and he waited for her to say something. Yes, she breathed. In an instant he had her in his arms spinning around kissing her. In the process he slipped the ring on her finger. Noelle couldn’t be any happier, it wasn’t possible. Her arms wrapped around his neck as she kissed him back. He stopped spinning her and set her back down. I love you so much…can we go home now? He nodded and they paid. She walked with him to the car.

The ride home was slow, he held her hand in his playing with the ring all the way. Finally they got back home to the apartment. Now I had a surprsie for you…but you topped anything I could ever do. he smiled but let her lead him to the bedroom. She disappeared into the bathroom for a minute and came back in a robe. "Ok for this surprise you don’t you’re your clothes. Now off!" She giggled as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt and took off his dress clothes. he walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her. So is this robe staying on? She wiggled out of his arms and crossed the room to the bathroom, dropping the robe in the process. Of course it isnt. He stepped into the bathroom to see candles lit everywhere and she was in the Jacuzzi bath tub. It was filled with bubbles and she motioned for him to join her. He smirked and slid in with her. She took her spot on his lap and intertwined her fingers with his. Like your surprise so far? she teased him, This is only the first half…the next part comes later…around bedtime and only if you’re being good, very good. she ran her hand down his chest as she waited for an answer.

After he asked his question he waited for her answer. She was in tears as she breathed her answer. Yes… Anthony picked her up, kissed her and spun them around. As he did that he slipped the ring on her finger. I love you so much… can we go home now? Anthony nodded, paid then took her by the hand out to his car. Anthony couldn’t stop playing with the ring that he had placed on her left hand. He loved seeing it there; it meant that she would be his…forever, and he loved the thought of that. They reached their apartment complex and Anthony unlocked the door, and they walked in. Now I had a surprise for you… but you topped anything that I could to. He couldn’t help but smile as she lead him into their bedroom. She disappeared into the bathroom and Anthony was confused as to what was taking place in there. She finally came back out. She was only in a robe. Anthony smiled as she started to speak, Ok for this surprise you don’t need your clothes. Now off! She started to giggle as he slowly started to unbutton his shirt and take his clothes off. Anthony then walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. So is this robe staying on? He asked as he tugged slightly at it. She then wiggled out of his arms and walked quickly across the room to the bathroom. She dropped the robe off her shoulders as she crossed the doorway into the bathroom. Of course it isn’t.

He followed her into the bathroom; when he looked around he saw lit candles everywhere, Noelle was already in the bath tub waiting for him; or so he hoped. It was filled with completely filled with bubbles and she motioned with her index finger for him to join her. Anthony had a small smirk on his face as he slid into the tub with her. She quickly took her spot on his lap and intertwined their fingers together. like your surprise so far? She was teasing him and he knew it. This is only the first half… the next part comes later… around bedtime, and only if you’re being good, very good. Her hand ran down his chest and he kissed her before answering. Yes, I love my surprise. Thank you. I can’t wait for the other half of it. Remember… you only get it if your being good. She said as she smiled. Her smile was contagious, he smiled along with her. Yes, I know. I’ll be a good boy. He said as he leaned in and kissed her once again. She smiled against his lips and started to speak. I know you will be. Anthony traced small circles on the inside of her thigh. So am I being a good boy? He kept one of his hands on her leg and kept his other hand with hers. Her head was rested on his shoulder and he kissed the top of her head as he waited for an answer.

Anthony said he loved his surprise...if he liked this he was going to like his second half even more. His hand traced circles on the inside of her thigh. So am I being a good boy? His hand never left her leg but his other hand was with hers. Her head rested on his shoulder and she felt him kiss the top of her head. She shivered as his fingers ran up and down her thigh, he was going to make her go insane. You are driving me insane, she whispered. Quickly she spun around in his lap so she was facing him, her legs wrapped around his waist and she pulled him into a passionate kiss. Her free hand ran down his chest and ab's. As she got farther down she felt him shiver and all she could do was smile against his lips. Her finger traced a circle around his belly button and his breathing sped up. Getting a little excited are we? She teased him. He pulled her lips back to his and his hand began to run down her neck all the way to her waist. She couldn't stop as she shivered again in pleasure, his touch was intoxicating to her.

All of a sudden his phone started to vibrate on the counter. She sighed, You better go get it, it could be work. I told them not to call me, tonight is just you and me. He kissed her again and just as she was about to forget the phone it vibrated again. Just go get it so they stop calling. He sighed and got out of the bath tub. Noelle leaned back against the tub and watched as he answered the phone, What the hell are you calling for?! Anthony was never this mad...who could it be on the phone? She crossed her arms on the side of the tub and leaned her head on them. I told you not to call me ever again. But what we had was special...I want you back. Noelle scowled, that b**** had the nerve to call him. She would rip off her head if she had the chance. Brittany wouldn't touch him ever again, not while he was with her...which she hoped would be forever. Babe, the water's getting cold. She called out loud enough so that Brittany could hear. Anthony smirked across the room, Why don't we all go out to lunch? Noelle had an evil smile on her face. Anthony looked confused but invited her to lunch which she accepted a little too happily. He slipped back into the water with her, Why exactly do you want to eat lunch with her? She doesn't really know that we're engaged or even dating. She hasn't seen you since high school so she can't know. He smiled as he understood what she was talking about.

I'm getting all shrivled up. Let's get out then, I'm ready for the other half of my present. His arms curled under her and he lifted them both out of the bath tub. Where would you like to go? She glanced over at the bed and it only took a minute for him to lay her down gently. Her hands wound around his neck and she pulled his lips to hers. His hands ran up her sides as he settled in next to her. He managed to pull the blankets around them so they were swimming in a sea of blankets. His hands felt like silk on her skin. She shivered as he trailed down the inside of her thighs with his fingertips. Her hands slid up his back and tangled into his hair, she couldn't get close enough to him fast enough. Noelle let a soft moan out as he leaned down and kissed along her hip. She pulled him back to her and flipped over so he was under her. This is my gift to you. He smirked as she ran her hands down his chest to his waist. Anthony shivered under her, I think you've been good enough to get your present now...

~Three hours later~

Noelle layed across his chest. Like your present? His hand ran down her cheek to her waist and back up, Absolutely loved it. She leaned up and kissed him, We better get some sleep so that Brittany won't know what we were doing. He smirked and wrapped his arms around her waist. She fell asleep almost instantly in his arms with her head resting on his chest. The last thing she felt was him kissing her head.

~Next morning~

Hey sleepy head, ready for lunch? We sorta slept through breakfast. She kissed him lightly and nodded. He grabbed her robe from the floor and tossed it too her. Noelle slipped it on and got out of bed, watching him go into the closet. She went over to the dresser and pulled out some clothes. She didn't even have her jeans on yet before his hands wound around her waist. It is impossible to get dressed with you here. His lips ran down her neck, So don't get dressed... I'm sure Brittany would love that. He smirked and let her get dressed. She turned around and took his hand, Time to go. He spun the keys around his finger and led her out to the car.

The ride to the restaurant was short but Brittany wasn't there yet. They sat at a table outside, Anthony sat next to her. So are we going to tell her the heartbreaking news? No we are not going to tell her that we're engaged...not yet anyway. Just then Brittany appeared and ran over to them, Oh my gosh! It's been too long! She pulled Anthony into a hug and Noelle had to keep from ripping her off of him. Anthony cringed away and sat back down motioning for her to follow in suit. She sat down not even noticing that he was annoyed with her. Mostly they just talked about recent things, ex's, jobs, stuff like that. Noelle crossed her fingers and sat them on the table and then Brittany gasped, OMG! YOU'RE ENGAGED?! Noelle had to fight a smile, Yes I am actually, as of last night. Brittany pulled her hand across the table to examine the ring. If you ladies will excuse me, I'm gonna go use the restroom. Noelle nodded but Brittany seemed unphased. I can't believe you are engaged. There's only one guy I would marry... we both know I'll be getting the ring from Anthony soon. Um actually you won't be. Brittany looked pissed, What's your problem? I'm not a sl**, what I had with Anthony was special. Well not special enough or else you'd have a ring. He just hasn't realized it yet. He never will realize it. You wanna bet? Actually I do, just then Anthony appeared. Noelle stood up and kissed him passionately. YOU LITTLE SL**! YOU'RE ALREADY ENGAGED! Noelle released Anthony but his arms stayed around her, I can kiss him whenever I want. Don't call her that. You were the one throwing yourself all over me Brittany. But you love me! No actually I love her. He leaned down and kissed Noelle gently. So you two can have your little affair and she still gets the guy in the end. I'm not having an affair you... she took a deep breath. If you were so special then you would have this ring, not me. She wiggled her fingers at Brittany, That's right, I'm marrying Anthony. He's mine, not yours. Anthony put some money on the table and wrapped an arm around Noelle's waist as they walked out of the restaurant. The car ride was silent until Anthony stopped at a red light.

She told him that he was driving her crazy and then Anthony’s phone started to vibrate on the counter. Noelle sighed and told him to get the phone because it could have been work calling him. He told her that he told them not to call him tonight…because it was a special night for just the two of them to be alone together. He kissed her again and then his phone started to vibrate again. Anthony cussed under his breath. They were not going to be happy when he picked up the phone. In a way he felt bad for the person that was on the other end of the phone. What the hell are you calling for?!? Anthony was now furious; he was never this mad but this particular phone call set him over the edge. Anthony saw Noelle cross her arms on the side of the tub and then rest her head on them. He then refocused on the phone call. I told you not to call me ever again! But what we had was special… I want you back. This was just ridiculous… they had been over for a long time… and she’s just now realizing that she wants him back?!? Anthony didn’t have any feelings for her anymore… and even if he did he would never be able to leave Noelle… he loved her way too much. Babe, the water’s getting cold. She said just loud enough for Brittany to hear through the phone. Anthony smirked and then Noelle made the suggestion that they all go out to lunch. She had an evil smile on her face when she made that suggestion. Anthony was confused to why she would want to go to lunch with Brittany of all people. Would you like to meet me and Noelle for lunch? YES, I’d love to meet you for lunch! She accepted the invitation a little too happily. Anthony hung up the phone and then walked back to get into the water with Noelle again. Why exactly do you want to go eat lunch with her? She doesn’t really know that we’re engaged of even dating. She hasn’t seen you since high school so she can’t know. He couldn’t help but smile.

I’m getting all shriveled up. Let’s get out then, I’m ready for other half of my present. He scooped her up and carried her out of the bath tub. Where would you like to go? She looked over at the bed and Anthony was over there in an instant. He laid her down gently; her hands wrapped around his neck and she pulled his lips to hers. He ran his hands up her sides as he settled in next to her. he managed up pull the blankets up around them. Anthony trailed his finger on the inside of her thighs. Her hands then slid up his back and she tangled them into his hair; he wished that they could be closer… but that wasn’t possible, if they got any closer they would be one person. Noelle let out a moan as he leaned down and kissed along her hip. She pulled him back to her and flipped over so he was now under her. He didn’t think that she was that strong; but she was. This is my gift to you. Anthony smirked as she ran her hands along his chest to his waist. He couldn’t help but shiver under her. I think you’ve been good enough to get your present now…

~Three hours later~

Noelle was laying across his chest and then looked up at him. Like your present? He ran his hand down her cheek and then up her waist and back up again. I absolutely loved it. She then leaned up and kissed him. We better get some sleep so that Brittany won’t know what were doing. He smirked and then wrapped his arms around her waist protectively. He leaned down and kissed her head that was laying on his chest. Then she fell asleep; he did the same shortly after.

~The next morning~

Hey sleepy head, ready for lunch? We sorta slept through breakfast. She kissed him gently and then nodded. Anthony picked up her robe from the floor and then tossed it to her. She slipped it on and got out of bed, she was watching him go into the closet. He got dressed in his black button-up shirt, jeans and blue and white shoes. She didn’t have her jeans on yet and he wrapped his arms around her waist. It is impossible to get dressed with you here. He kissed down her neck. So don’t get dressed… I’m sure Brittany would love that. He smirked and then let her get dressed. She was done and took his hand, Time to go. He spun the keys around his finger and let her to the car.
Anthony’s outfit

They got to the restaurant and Brittany wasn’t there yet… that was a good thing. Anthony didn’t know if he was ready to see her again, he knew that he wouldn’t have feelings for her; he loved Noelle with all of his heart. They were seated at a table outside and Anthony sat next to her of course. So are we going to tell her the heartbreaking news? No, we are not going to tell her that we’re engaged… not yet anyway. Brittany walked up a few minutes later.Oh my gosh! It's been too long! She then pulled Anthony into a hug; thank god that Noelle was there... she kept ripping Brittany off of him. Anthony sat down and Brittany sat down next to him. They were talking about things that have happened recently. Anthony excused himslef to the bathroom so Noelle and Brittany could have some time alone to talk. He was sure that's when Noelle was going to tell her that they were engaged.

Anthony came back after a few minutes and he caught the tail end of the conversation. Noelle stood up as he reached the table and she pulled him into a passionate kiss, he didn't dare brake it...like he wanted to; not! YOU LITTLE SL**! YOU'RE ALREADY ENGAGED! She ended the kiss but Anthony still had his arm around her. I can kiss him whenever I want. Don't call her that. You were the one thowing yourself all over me Brittany. But you love me! No... actually I love her. He leaned down and kissed Noelle gently. So you two can have your little affair and she still gets the guy in the end. I'm not having an affair you... She took a deep breath to calm herself down. If she wouldn't have done that Anthony knew that she would have said something that they both would have regreted. If you were so special then you would hae this ring, not me. She then wiggled her fingers at Brittany, That's right, I'm marrying Anthony. He's mine, not yours...he'll never be yours so you can just stop dreaming now. Goodbye Brittany...have a nice life...and don't bother calling me again...I'm going to be married soon, and I'm sure that my wife wouldn't like it if i had other women calling me. So just don't bother... because honestly...I don't think that I'll ever desire to talk to you again. With that Anthony put some money on the table and then he wrapped his arm around Noelle's waist and walked out to the car. He could hear her calling out to him as they were walking away, But..Anthony..wait! I love you! And I always will! Please don't do this! Anthony didn't say anything to her, he just waved over his shoulder and they walked out of the door. He was hoping that he would never have to see her again.

They were on their way home now and Anthony never let go of Noelle's hand the whole time. So... what did she say to you when I was gone? Nothing really... just about how she was going to be the one that you would give the ring to, and the fact that she'd be getting the ring from you soon. Then she called me a sl** a few times... but that's when you walked up, and saved me from the crazy woman. They both lauged as Anthony pulled into a parking space. He got out and opened her car door for her. They walked into the apartment hand-in-hand. Anthony was smiling and everyone was looking at them like they knew that they were engaged now... they hadn't told anyone about it. Not even their own parents; well now of course Brittany knew. Would you like to go back to Forks and tell the families the good news? I have some time off of work coming up and I think that it would be the perfect time to go... what do you think? Anthony unlocked the door and he waited for her to step through the door and answer him.

Noelle listened to Anthony’s idea about going back to Forks to tell the parents. She didn’t think that it was a bad I idea but she was about to burst if she didn’t tell someone. He opened the door and she took his hand as she walked in. he scooped her up off her feet and ran into the living room. He jumped over the couch and landed with her under him on the couch. She smiled and stretched up to kiss him gently. Love you. Love you too. He smiled and kissed her. Wecan go back to forks in a week, I really want to tellmy mom first though. Go ahead. Thanks babe, your game is on right now if you wanna watch that while I go talk on the phone. He nodded and let her slip out from under him to go call her mom.

She jumped onto the bed and popped out her phone. It only took her a minute to dial the familiar number and let it ring. Hello? Hi mommy. Everything ok with you and Anthony lately? That’s what I was calling about actually…I’m coming home in a month… Ok…what does that mean? Well we have to go tell his parents some stuff and I thought we’d drop by and say hi. Oh, ok. It will be good to see you two again. So how is everything going? Good…better than good. How so…but if it involves intimacy I don’t want to know. Noelle blushed at her mom thinking she’d actually talk about her and Anthony getting intimate. No mom its not about that. It was about him…asking me something.[/colo] What did he ask you? Noelle could hear her mom getting excited. He asked me to marry him! Aw honey I’m so happy for you! It was a surprise but it was perfect until Brittany interrupted us with a phone call. She called when he was proposing? Not exactly. It was more of during my present to him… OH! Ok enough said I understand. What did she want? Him of course. We met her for lunch and she was saying how she was gonna get a ring from him because she didn’t know he proposed to me. Then she called me some names cause I was kissing him and she thought I was cheating cause she didn’t know it was us engaged. But then I broke the news to her and we ‘kindly’ left. Wow, I can’t wait to see you sweetie. Daddy just got home so I’ll see you soon. Ok mom, love you. Tell daddy I said hi and we’ll see you all soon. Love you. Love you too. She hung up and felt really happy. She finally got to tell someone that cared. Now what to do with that fiancée of hers…

She was feeling adventurous so she headed over to her dresser. Noelle went to the drawer that she usually didn’t use often, her friends had filled that drawer with clothes…risky ‘clothes.’ She pulled out a riskier piece and put it on, it was red and lacy. Now she just had to get Anthony in there. Babe, can you come tell me if u like this outfit? Can’t it wait? New York just hit a homerun. She decided to make him wonder, slowly she put the Victoria’s Secret bag outside the door where he could see it. If you wanna see the outfit I’ll be in here. Noelle made her way back to the bed and put a robe on. If he wanted to see then he’d have to work for it now.

In your eyes
love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat

in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

They got home ans she went to call her mom. Anthony kept himself busy by turning on the baseball game. It was one of the play off cames so it would be a good one.He could hear her in the otehr room whispering to her mom. He smiled at the thought of his fiancée talking to her mother and telling her that they were engaged. Anthony was very involved in the game. Noelle came to the door; his back was facing her so he couldn't see her. She called to him, Babe, can you come tell me if you like this outfit? Can't it wait? New York just hit a homerun. He heard something silde across the floor. Out of the corner of his eye he could see a pink bag. If you wanna see the outfit...I'll be in here. He turned his head to look over his shoulder. A smirk came to his face when he saw that it was a Victoria's Secret bag. He turned the volume down and noticed that the red record button was lit up. His smile widened and he got up. Anthony slowly walked over to the bedroom door and pushed it open slowly. I'm here, you're recording the game for me? Yes, I am. Would you still like me to see the outfit? She shrugged her shoulders. He was across the room quickly and he had her scooped up in his arms. His lips burshed her ear, Please... He whispered as he kissed her neck. I'd really like to see it. Anthony said that sentence in between the kisses that he planted on her jaw line. She shivered as he rested one of his hands on her inner thigh. I love you...I'm sorry I didn't come at first. I didn't know what I was thinking. I love you too, and I have no idea what you were thinking. You should know by now, when I ask you to tell me if you like an outfit... it usually ends up good for you... Yes I know...I guess I just got caught up in the game...but you, you're much better than any game that's on...ever

She smiled and pulled him into a deep kiss. Do you forgive me? Huh? Do you forgive me? He asked with his voice still a whisper. She nodded and he laid her down on the bed ently. He pulled away from her lips. So..do I ever get to see it? She nodded and slid out from under him. She untued her robe and let it slide off her shoulders and down to the floor. His eyes got huge nd his heart started to race. He had never seen Noelle in anything like that before. She blushed as e smiled. Do you like it? She asked as she got back on the bed and slid back under him. Of course I love it, you're the one wearing it. He said as he leaned down and kissed her.

[Noelle Cullen]

This I promise you
When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..
And I will take
You in my arms

And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...
This I promise you

Noelle let her robe slide off her shoulders and down to the floor. She saw his eyes get huge and she smirked and blushed. She never wore stuff like that, even for him. She slid back under him, Do you like it? Once he snapped back into reality he answered, Of course I love it, you're the one wearing it. He leaned down and kissed her in one of his heartstopping kisses. She leaned up and whispered in his ear, I like it better on the hanger... He seemed confused until she slipped the strap off her shoulder. Anthony wasn't the most experienced but he sure as hell was a man and knew what to do from there. His hand took her place and slipped the other strap off her shoulder. She wrapped her arms around his neck and brought her lips back to his. When he held her she was in heaven, her own personal heaven sent to her by someone who wanted her to spontainously combust. His fingertips ran up her side and she shivered at the simple touch.

Then the damn phone rang, Leave it... she whispered. He nodded, No way in hell am I leavin you now. She smirked and played with the button on his jeans. He let out a shaky breath as she slowly unzipped them and slid them down his legs. Better not leave me. He brought his lips back to hers and she just about melted under him. Slowly he slipped off her 'outfit' and she wrapped her arms around him, I think you need to lose some clothes too. Couldn't agree more with you... he said inbetween kisses. She pulled his shirt over his head and let it hit the floor somewhere, she didn't care where. He moaned a little and she smirked, Boxers...now. He let her slide them down his legs and then kicked them onto the floor. Anthony rolled over and pulled her on top of him, his arms wrapped around her waist as she locked her lips with his. In his arms she felt safe, wanted, and loved...it was her place in this world. I love you, she whispered. Her hand slid down his chest and didn't stop until it got about waist level.

Sometimes she was good...now was not one of them. Her hand had ways of torturing him...she was pretty good at torture. His breathing picked up and she decided to be good so she brought her hand back up on his chest, I'll be good. He smirked and flipped her back onto her back. She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck. My turn... She was a bit confused as to what was his turn but it clicked as his hand slid down her side. Noelle caught it as it sat on her hip, Don't even think about it. I wouldn't dare... he smirked and had both her hands in one of his leaving the other free. Damn he's good... His hand took up its original path again and gently left little paths of fire across her skin. Slowly he ran around her hip bone with his finger and then to his destination no doubt, her inner thigh. She shivered and her breathing picked up. It didn't help that she was covered in goosebumps either. He took notice and pulled the blankets around them. Dang he's slow sometimes...just come on already, I know you want what I want. As if he could read her mind he leaned down to her ear, Are you ready? He was pressed against her so she could tell he was 'ready'. Anthony let her hands go and she wrapped them back around his neck, I'm always ready for you... He smirked and she pulled her lips back to his as she waited for him to make his move.

[Anthony Cullen]

In your eyes
love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat

in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes

She was getting goose bumps; he brought the covers over them. He heard what she was thinking, Dang he’s slow sometimes…just come on already, I know you want what I want.

[/i] He smiled and leaned to her ear, Are you ready? He was pressed against her, he was ready…very ready. Anthony let her hands go and she wrapped them back around his neck, I’m always ready for you… He smirked and she pulled her lips back to his. Anthony kissed down her jaw, neck and shoulder. She pulled their hips together, they moved together for a while.

Anthony woke up with her on his chest. He kissed the top of her head and he was running her fingers up and down her back. She was smiling and shivering. Cold baby? She shook her head ‘no’. Then what’s wrong? My fiancée knows how to use his fingers… He smirked, I can stop whenever you want me too. I never want you to stop… He smiled and kissed her head. I love you Noelle. She smiled again. I love you too. I’m glad you said that you would marry me…if you wouldn’t have then I don’t know what I would have done. Of course I said yes, I want you spend my whole life with you. He smiled softly and couldn’t help himself as he kissed her again. It’s a good thing I’m not hooked up to heart monitor…my heart rate would be dangerously low… Anthony gave her a confused look, Why, what’s wrong? It’s just that my fiancée really knows how to take a girls breath away. Anthony laughed, she was just too perfect.[/Blockquote][/Blockquote]

Anthony was kissing her...it was about to make her heart stop soon. It's just that my fiancee really knows how to take a girls breath away. He laughed and she moved to kiss him again. Her fingers traced circles on his biceps, I'm glad you didn't pick Brittney. His arms tightened around her waist, The choice was simple, who did I love. It was you all along. She blushed and smiled at him. Her mind wandered, what if he hadn't been there to save her from Chance? Honey, I have a question. Ok shoot. Well...it's about Chance... She stiffened... I was just wondering what really happened to you two. Her breath shook as the memory came back and flooded her mind… Baby you don’t have to tell me anything. His hands caught her face securely as he looked into her eyes. She hadn’t even noticed that she was crying. She could feel the ache inside her from when Chance had raped her. Anthony scooped her up and carried her to the bathroom, Sweetie are you ok? She shook her head no as he turned on the water for a shower. He helped her up and stepped in with her, she rested her head against his chest.

Noelle wanted to escape reality; she didn’t want to remember that horrible night. Sure Chance could be loving, sweet, caring, and gentle but that night something was different about him. He wasn’t anything she was used to or that she had fallen for. He was mean, and harsh to her. Never in her life had anything hurt so much. Anthony rubbed her back gently and she realized she was holding onto him tightly. Nothing will happen to you ever again, I swear. I will never be like him; your safety always comes first. She nodded as he wiped away the tears that had fallen. He kissed her gently and held her close. She let the water run down them and liked the feel of it. He kept his arms around her knowing it was where she felt safe.

Nothing will happen to you ever again, I swear. I will never be like him; your safety always comes first. She nodded as he whipped away the tears that had already fallen. He kissed her gently and held her close. He kept his arms around them because she knew that she was safe right there. He held her closer to him and didn’t want to let her go. That ass would never get her again…she was going to marry Anthony…not Chance. As long as he had any say Chance was never going to touch her again…he would make sure of that. They continued to let the water run off their skin and he wasn’t going to push her into telling him if she didn’t want to. You don’t have to tell me honey… She nodded, Maybe later…I really don’t want to think about what he did to me…it’s still too soon. Ok baby, whenever you’re ready. She smiled weakly and kissed his bare chest.

He kept his hands on the small of her back and continued to rub her back. I love you… He whispered as he kissed her gently. He didn’t under stand how Chance could do that to her…she was so sweet and perfect but he had to hurt her just to get what he wanted; he couldn’t wait until she was ready…now she has to live with that in her past for her whole life. I can’t wait to marry you. She smiled up at him. You won’t have to worry about him as long as I’m alive. Won’t you live forever? He nodded and smiled. Exactly…you won’t have to worry about him anymore. That’ll be nice…I’ve had to worry that he was going to follow me. I feel safe when I’m with you Anthony. He smiled and kissed her head…he loved her with his whole heart and couldn’t wait to finally be married to her.

Noelle was in her favorite spot in Anthony’s arms. He was rubbing her back gently making her get the chills but she didn’t mind. He was so amazing and she loved him with her entire soul. Anthony kissed her head and she had her arms tucked between them as he held her. I guess I could tell you… You don’t have to baby. She shook her head, I have to tell you before we get married. He nodded and pulled the blankets up around her then rested his arms on the small of her back again. She snuggled close and rested her cheek on his shoulder so her lips were at his neck. It was our anniversary. He wanted to do something special so we were going up to a little cabin. We were fighting in the car because I caught him with another girl and I was mad. So we went inside but by the end of the night he’d convinced me that he only wanted me again. Then he said he wanted me as his first.. she started to shake a little and took a breath to steady herself from breaking down. He was the first since her mom that she’d actually told the entire story too. I’ve got you baby. She snuggled her head closer to his neck and he tightened his hold on her so she felt safer; that was her intent… to get closer to him. I told him that I wasn’t ready but he had other ideas. I ended up on the couch or floor… I don’t remember which. Well he had me pinned tight. I started to get really scared and told him ‘no’ a few times but he didn’t listen. Instead of telling him the rest she shut her eyes and just remembered it knowing that he could see and feel it just as vividly. The memory flooded her mind and she held on tighter to him which he wouldn’t mind. She could feel chance slamming into her, the pain from her first time, how her back felt as he pinned her down, she could feel all the little details too like the blood… the blood was the worst part. When Brian had picked her up she was soaked in blood from Chance. Her eyes stayed closed for a few minutes and she just let Anthony hold her close. She was afraid that he wouldn’t want her… that he thought she was a head case… she didn’t want it to be over yet.

He’ll never touch my wife again. Her eyes opened slowly and found his face covered with a concerned look. His finger stroked her cheek gently and she leaned into the touch, it was nice to have someone who actually loved you. You were my knight and shining armor. He kissed her gently and held her close, I’d never give you up. She smiled a little and he wiped a stray tear that had fallen during the memory. His hands were slow on her back and she frowned. You’re scared of me? I don’t want to scare you. You don’t scare me silly. I like when you touch me. It feels good when it’s you. He shrugged lightly and a smile played on the edges of his lips. She moved off him a little and kissed down his chest. His eyes instinctively closed as she moved down to his belly button. He gripped the sheets as she slid her tongue down farther and made his back arch. She giggled as he started to moan and groan at her, she was bad with her mouth. His fingers held onto the sheet as she closed her mouth around him but what she didn’t expect was him to snap his hips. Noelle I can’t hold on any longer… he warned her. She winked up at him and he groaned tightening his fists.
