As I lay in the rough grass I sighed contently. The smell of wildflowers was drifting on the breeze. It was all beautiful, but in reality my sigh was because of the cold marble arm that held me close to a cold marble body. I really loved these rare times when Edward and I could just be together without having to worry about someone trying to kill me. It made our relationship more believable, more real. It still seemed impossible that the exquisite person lying beside me really wanted me.
"Comfortable, Darling?"
"Very."
"I'm glad."
There was no way I was going to tell him that the only way I could be comfortable was with his arm around me. If he wasn't there I felt vulnerable, exposed. But all those feeling disappeared when he was there.
"I think we have to start back, Charlie will be getting anxious."
"I don't want to go back", I said stubbornly.
"Ah, but Charlie might get restless with you gone so long"
"Let him," I murmured as I snuggled closer and inhaled his sweet aroma.
"Come now Bella we mustn't tempt fate."
I knew he was right and I was being unreasonable, but I couldn't stand the thought of him letting go of me for even a minute.
"Bella really, It's almost twilight."
"All the better." I whispered as I closed my eyes. He started gently playing with a strand of my hair and we lay there in silence for a long time. After a too short period of time Edward gently extracted himself from my arms and helped me up. He swung me onto his back playfully and away we flew.
After my heart stopped pounding in my chest I looked up to see we were again at my truck in record time. I have an abrupt feeling of desavu as I remembered the first time I had had been to Edward's meadow. It brought back happy and sad memories. I really did love him with my whole heart. And as he opened the door for me into the truck, I insisted on driving, I got the feeling something was wrong. The whole atmosphere of the mood changed. There was danger in the air and even my dull human senses could feel it.
