Alexander James P. O. V

Sighing aloud, I look at the beautiful girl lying asleep in my arms.

Her full lips parted slightly and she snores quietly, I knew if I told her she snores she'd throw a fit, I think in amusement.

Her dark chocolate brown hair lay in a messy halo around her head, spilling onto the pillow.

Just like an angel.

Well she was to me.

So beautiful and full of light.

All goodness even if she does have a fiery temper on her at times.

Even though I had only known her for a little while, in that moment she had become my everything.

The knot forming in my throats confirmed my suspicions as I look down at her.

Tightening my arms around her, I bring her closer to me.

I would wreak havoc before letting her go.

Come Sam, come the pretend engagement, nothing would take me away from her.

I just hope Nora felt the same way.

I won't be able to love her, if she doesn't let me.

But every bone in my body knows I will try to do so, no matter what.

It would hurt to much not to fight for her.

I still hate myself for the way I acted so harshly with her.

Everything just took me by surprise, but that was still no excuse.

Nora too didn't see what was coming.

But I just thought she'd want to leave me.

I was expecting her to do that, to walk out as soon as we got here, to call me names and get angry at me.

But she didn't.

She took it calmly and listened to me, she acted completely mature about it, unlike how I did.

I still can't believe that I blurted that out. This is one situation I can't get myself out of, but I had too, not only for myself but Nora as well.

That was the only way to save her reputation, I didn't care about mine, everyone already knew I used to sleep with nearly everything that moved.

Now thinking back to it, I internally cringe at my behavior.

I don't even remember when I stopped.

The lines all blurred when Nora came into the picture.

I nearly groan out loud at all the pansy thoughts running through my head.

My thoughts roam from one topic to the next, but Nora was the subject of every one of them.

Hopefully Sam's gotten off of our backs.

The mere thought of him makes my blood boil and I clench my hands into fists.

I never did like that narcissistic asshole.

But now I hated him, hated him for why he had done to the angel sleeping in my arms.

How could someone even think of doing that?

I don't realize I have tightened my hold on Nora only until she fidgets and then sighs in content as she nuzzles further into me.

Bending my head down, I place a kiss in her forehead and shut my eyes.

I am so lucky to have her, I must have done something good in my previous life to have gotten someone as pure and kind as her.

I wish that this could have happened under different circumstances though.

Maybe three four years down the line, if we were still going strong, I would've gotten down on one knee and proposed to her.

Unfortunately for me it's only been two months.

I nearly laugh aloud at the thought.

Is two months enough to fall in love with someone?

Or was I just in over my head?

Slow, edgy movement makes my eyes open once more just in time to see Nora's own flutter open, greeting me with her blue exquisite eyes.

As cheesy as it sounds I could've gotten lost in them.

"Hi." She says smiling at me.

Wow, this was the first time I've probably ever seen her in a good mood in the morning.

"Your in a good mood." I say my thoughts out loud.

Nora rolls her eyes at me before quickly covering them from the harsh sunlight.

Her low grumbling reaches my ears and I laugh lightly.

Her good mood clearly didn't last long.

"How long have you been awake?" She questions.

"A while." I answer back shortly.

"What were you doing?" She questions back once more, her brows furrowed.

"I was watching you." I say simply.

"Watching me sleep?" Her tone gets bewildered.

I just nod my head once more and place it against hers.

"Sure thing Edward." She jokes, laughing.

Scowling even though she can't see my face, I tighten my arms around her in response.

"So what's on the agenda for today." She mumbles out, still half asleep.

"I was thinking we could maybe go ring shopping." I try to keep my voice innocently calm.

"You what!?" Nora spits out, siting up.

That sure woke her up.

"Well," I start to say, sitting up as well, "we could need to actually seem like we're married." I state.

"But why?"

Not bothering to answer her, I reach over her body, careful not to touch her or I'd lose myself.

I grab the remote from off the night stand next to the bed and turn the television on, going to the news channel.

Not even bothering to look at her or the television, her gasp is all that is needed.

"Your'e on T. V." She mumbles out.

"I know." I say, lying back down into the comfortable bed.

Another gasp erupts from her as she hits me right in the chest.

"Ow." Is all I say.

"Don't you ow me Alexander James."

Oh shit, she full named me.

"Why the hell is my name flashing up on the screen?" She questions in complete and utter shock.

"You're forgetting who you've just gotten engaged too."

"Oh god."

And just like that Nora's phone starts to ring wildly.

"Who the hell is calling so early in the morning?" I grumble out.

Her face pale as a sheet, she grabs her phone.

"Oh crap. I can't deal with this." Nora says panicking.

"With what?"

Instead of answering me she shows me her phone.

The caller ID showing 'Mom' is all I need to know.

"Well crap."
