The flames rolled higher, licking at his perfect pale face. He smiled then, in my own personal hell, he was happy. But I'm getting ahead of myself. We need to rewind to the beginning, where it started. And that would be our meadow.

"Edward, you know I hate surprises!" I complained in his ear as he ran with me on his back, the wind making my eyes water. I forced the moister back. "You'll like this one, trust me." He said, looking at me and flashing me that crooked smile of his. My heart stopped, and I had to focus on breathing. Cheater.

Suddenly, I felt my hair fall on my back, signaling our stop. I slid off his back, being careful not to trip and break my leg here. This place was supposed to be for good memories, not bad.

Edward walked ahead of me slowly, at an almost human pace. I jogged to get back next to him, and knowing me, I tripped. I closed me eyes, preparing for impact. But then the world stopped and I opened my eyes, and looked up to see him smirking at me.

"Silly Bella. What would you do without me?" He teased, setting me back on my feet. I felt the heat spreading throughout my face, and I smiled a little. I walked after him, watching my feet this time. He sat me down, instructing me to stay, like a cute pet puppy, and I obediently obeyed. He walked into the trees, returning moments later with a small covered basket. Wonderful, a picnic.

Within a few moments, the red and white checkered blanket was spread, and Edward lay in the sun, sparkling like his skin was made of diamonds and precious gems. It took my breath away as he pulled me closer and whispered in my ear, "Breath, Bella." I took a breath and smiled at him, marveling that this god-like creature could have chosen me. I still hadn't torn my eyes away from him.

Edward reached into the basket, pulling out a ham sandwich, and bottled water. "Bella, focus." He breathed to me.

"I'm not hungry." I replied, not wanting to shift my attention from my Angel. But my growling stomach gave me away. Stupid hunger...

I picked up the food, regrettably tearing my eyes off of his form to eat. He plopped me into his lap, watching me intently as I ate. The whole time I felt his eyes on my back, scanning my every move. I looked up at him slowly as a frown formed on his face, my mouth still full of sandwich. "What?" I asked.

"Huh? Oh it's nothing." He said, giving me his crooked smile. And, for the second time today, telling me "Breath, Bella."

I did as he commanded, finishing off the small picnic quickly. He ended the picnic-for-one by leaning in, and putting his icy lips on mine, the familiar tingling rushing from my head throughout my body. As always, I couldn't help myself.

I grabbed greedily at his hair, but softer than most times, but this time he seemed okay with it. He slowly intertwined his hands in my hair and on my back. All too soon he pulled away, smiling, leaving us both gasping for air-though he didn't need to breath-and soon my heart stopped jumping around so much.

He began to put the food away while I wrapped up the blanket, but a smile played across his lips.

"Bella, can you swim?" He asked, grinning wickedly. I was taken aback by his question.

"Do you think my mom would let her klutz of a daughter around water, without the fear of her falling in and drowning?" I could have said yes, but that was much more fun to do.

He reached back into the basket and handed me a bikini-my only bikini-and told me to change in the trees. At my incredulous face, he said, "Don't worry Bella, I wont look!" He had a look of fake hurt on his face, as if he was hurt that I thought he would look.­­­­ I took the bathing suit, while he took out his and we headed into the trees, about 20 feet apart. He was finished and back in the meadow in seconds.

I, being the human, was slower, but got changed faster than normally. I was embarrassed to be in the meadow in a bikini with Edward. My face was flushed a deep red as I walked over to him. I seemed to have taken his breath away, because he was staring at me with a strange desire in his eyes. He shook his head, smiling, and picked me up, making me gasp. I still wasn't used to his speed.

He began to run, flipping me up onto his back, and soon he set me on the ground. We were still in a meadow, but this one had fewer flowers, but something made up for it. In the middle of it, in front of us, was a beautiful pond, almost a lake, and it was all ours. Off to one side, a waterfall about 50 feet tall stood, feeding the pond.

"Edward, it's beautiful!" I gasped, taking it all in. Maybe he would let me jump off the cliff. Maybe he would go with me.

A small summer breeze ruffled the grass, making his hair sway lazily in the air, making him, if possible, more beautiful.

"I knew you would like it." He grinned. I looked back to the water, and then felt the world rush away from my feet. "Edward! Put me down!" I shrieked, knowing what he planned to do. "Okay!" He laughed. I held my breath and he flung me into the water, jumping in after me!
