Chapter 1

Slow Dancing

"Say, do you want to go somewhere?" I asked Edward. "Maybe your house?"

"We've been there a lot now a days, how about somewhere else?" He answered me.

"Please?" I stared in to his beautiful eyes. "I kind of… never mind…" I said, hopeless.

"What is it my love?" he said, tilting my chin to him with his icy fingers.

"I kind of wanted you to play the piano for me…" I stopped but then continued, "I really miss hearing it." He gave me a warm smile, despite how tired he looked.

He was never really tired and I thought he was used to not sleeping. I guess he wasn't yet. The moment I saw the tired look in his caramel eyes, I knew it wasn't meant to be seen, ever. "Of course you miss it, come on, let's go" He held his hand out to me, while I took it gladly. My hands felt like fire, compared to his cold hands. Something I liked about him, a lot.

Hand in hand, we walked to his shiny car, I was about to open the door, when he held my wrist, saying,

"We've got time by our side..." He said, looking in to my confused look, "We're passing by somewhere special…" He flashed me a huge grin, revealing his perfect teeth.

After a few minutes of him carrying me in his back as he ran, I watched the beautiful view… of Edward. No matter how long I was with him already, I couldn't get enough of his beautiful face. I leaned over and gave him a quick kiss, and he smiled at me as I ran my fingers through his silky hair. He loved me, I knew it. He'd already proved to me how much I mean to him and nothing's going to separate us now.

"Till death do us part" I whispered in his ear. Kind of cliché but I know he appreciates me no matter what I say. He chuckled to himself, and said:

"You don't know how tempted I am to put you on the ground and have you in my arms"

I smiled a huge smile as my cheeks turned scarlet.

When we arrived at the beautiful meadow, he put me down very gently, still thinking that I was "fragile" or "breakable".

He held my face between his cold hands, leaning his forehead on mine.

"I love you" He smiled.

"I know" I answered, "I'll never forget"

He leaned in and pressed his icy lips on mine. I deepened the kiss, but decided not to go so far since his eyes were already deep black...

I pulled away, "Edward, maybe you should go "hiking", you know, get a break from it all?" I said while watching him sigh.

"I'm fine" He said, hoping to get back to our kiss. I agreed to his kiss but pulled away a little while after. Something must be happening to the world, I am usually not the one who stops first. So, to avoid the awkward silence, I pulled his hand, guiding him under the beautiful oak tree. I sat down and he was beside me in less than a second. He looked at me in confusion as I pulled something out of my bag. He recognized it at once, it was my Ipod. I knew his music was limited to one genre, and I wanted him to explore my kind of music. I turned it on at once and slipped it in my right ear and his left. I played a song I know he knew anything about I began humming to its tune, and he sort of got the rhythm too. He was looking in my eyes once again, before I even noticed so. I stared at his beautiful face, some parts where like millions of diamonds because of the little sunlight that peeked through the tree's leaves. He caught my face again, pushing away some of the strands of hair that came in my pale face. I put my hand behind his neck… He extended one of his stone hard hands and I take it gladly, he pulled me up with what seemed to be like such little effort. I smiled at him; he was going to slow dance me to the song. Ever since my prom night, he had taught me such elegant techniques and moves that I danced well now. The earphones where still in our ears,

Something in your eyes
Makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself
In your arms
There's something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've felt so alone
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong…

He smiled to the lyrics of the beautiful song as he tightened his grip on my waist. I was now leaning against his chest, I knew he was quiet because he was listening to the way my heart was beating; which was rapidly of course. I knew he would miss the way it sounded once I was changed already. I couldn't believe it, I'm was going to be wed in 3 months… to the same man the chest I was hugging belonged to. Edward still thought I wasn't ready and I didn't want to be engaged to him. He was wrong. How dare he? I loved him so much, why does he not believe me? But I appreciate that he doesn't rush me in things like this
"Edward?" I called out his name, feeling the butterflies in my stomach

"Mmm-hmm?" He said, giving me a kiss on the cheek several times, still continuing our romantic dance in 'our' meadow.

"Yes, Edward, I will marry you…" I said, blushing even more than before. His eyes widened and I could see his irises change color, from leather to gold. He invited me to stop our slow dancing and held me tightly in his arms.

"So this is what Alice has been hiding from me lately!" He whispered, chuckling.
