A Swimming Adventure
A/N I will try to update as soon as possible, but I am very new at this whole writing thing. I have never been one of those people who can just crank out top notch stories. I need time.

I awoke to a cold sensation running along my neck. Opening my eyes to see Edward's nose skimming the base of my throat, I involuntarily gasped. I long for the day when I won't be stuck speechless by his crooked smile or shimmering hair.
''Human minute," I declared as I attempted to spring out of bed. Unfortunately, my legs had yet to wake up and I went tumbling toward the floor, only to be caught be a pair of pale stone cold hands.
"What would you do without me Bella?" my savior said, trying to hold back a laugh.
"Learn to like the floor," I replied as I marched into the bathroom.
While I let the cool shower water stream over, I thought about how my life had changed since I moved to Forks. For one I had a gorgeous vampire boyfriend whom I loved to world's end. I also had a second family and a best friend.
My thoughts began to drift to everything I had given up since coming to Forks. I really did miss my mother, even if I didn't think about it all the time. Phoenix also held things that Forks never could, like the sun. Walking back into my bedroom, I flopped down on the bed and heaved a great sigh.
"Edward?"
"Yes my love?"
"Is there a swimming pool around here?"
He came up behind me and sat on the bed. "I don't know, Bella. I would assume so. Why do you ask?" His golden eyes bored into mine, once again making incoherent thoughts impossible.
"Ahhh… no reason," I managed to force out after a long moment.
"Come on Bella. You know I'll find out eventually."
I really didn't want to tell him that I used to be a swimming fanatic. I'm so out of practice. In all of my time in Forks, I haven't even looked at a pool. I guess I'll just have to ask Alice instead. Knowing her, she has probably already bought me a bathing suit. Just thinking about the type of suit Alice would try to force me into caused a blush to rise to my cheeks.
I felt Edward staring at me curiously. "Why won't you tell me, Bella?"
I flinched. "Like you said, you'll find out eventually.'' My hands flew to my mouth. Did I really just say that? I turned away blushing furiously, but not before I registered the look of surprise in Edward's face.
After an awkward moment, Edward chuckled. "What are we going to do about that temper of yours," he said as he enveloped me in a gentle embrace. We stayed like that for an immeasurable amount of time until he murmured, "Time for school."
