Disclaimer: None of the characters or the ideas (Example: Bella is dating a vampire) belongs to me. It belongs to Stephenie Meyer, who wrote the novel Twilight.
Note: This story may take awhile because I decided to write the story out in my notebook (paper... yes, I know, very old) and then edit with a red pen, then type it onto my computer. I want to be extra careful with this story this time. Thanks so much for viewing! Please review if you can!

The Beach
"Edward, where are you taking me?"
I was wearing a swimsuit underneath my faded shorts and an overly large T-shirt. Edward genuinely looked surprised.
"You didn't guess yet?"
I felt a little annoyed as I replied,
"No."
Edward beamed with the enjoyment at my unawareness.
"Then it will be a surprise!"
I groaned. I hated surprises, and Edward used that against me each time.
"Um, can I guess? Maybe a swimming pool?"
Edward snorted.
"Thanks, but no thanks. I am not going to swim around with a rubber ducky floating around."
I grinned at the thought of that.
"A lake?"
"Closer."
Suddenly, Edward covered my eyes with his long fingers and scooped me up. He got out of the car swiftly and started to run at his vampire pace.
"What if there are people around?"
"Trust me, there aren't."
"Edward, let me see!"
I screeched with annoyance. Edward ignored me and kept running He chuckled maliciously (much to my suspicion) and jumped. I screamed with fear for the unexpected.
SPLASH
"Edward!"
He had let go of me now and I realized that we were in a body of water. The water was surprisingly warm, much to my liking. I quickly looked around and saw a sun filled beach, sparkling with the sun beams. Edward laughed and took off his shirt. Luckily, no one was around, as he was now sparkling like a million shards of glass. I snapped out of my oggling and sought revenge by splashing water on him. He looked surprised. I giggled and started to run away before he could catch me. He grinned and started to chase me. Sonn, we were chasing eachother across the sandy terrain, laughing and (me) tripping.
After a while, I was exhausted and asked for a brief pause. While I was catching my breath, Edward started to look towards the Western horizon, where we came from.
"Esme, Carlisle, and the others should be here soon..."
Edward muttered.
"You invited them too?"
I laughed, with pleasant surprise, but was suddenly cut short by his worried complexion.
"What's wrong?"
Edward didn't take his stare at the horizon as he answered,
"Nothing."
I looked at him reproachfully.
"I thought we were past all evasions now."
Edward's lips twitched at that statement. We used that phrase on eachother for many times before. Edward hesitated. Kepping his eyes on the horizon, he muttered,
"Alice had a vision that Laurent would come back... with a visitor."
I shivered at the thought of James, but Laurent wasn't that bad.
"What's so bad about it?"
"The visitor."
A low growl escaped from Edward's chest, sending involuntary shivers down by spine. I pressed him further,
"Tell me more."
"Carlisle wanted me to be away with you for awhile while he and the family greeted Laurent. He still remembers that we take permanent residence you know..."
"Why is Laurent visiting again? I thought that he was a traveler? And what do you mean about the visitor?"
"Precisely what I want to know."
Edward glanced down at me, noticing my worried expression. He pulled me towards him and wrapped his cool arms around me. He teased,
"Scared?"
"Not as long as I'm with you."
I wasn't sure how we stood there. It must've been hours, since the sun was barely disappearing. I gasped,
"Wow. I've never seen a sunset this beautiful."
Edward's voice was soft.
"And here ends another day... another twilight..."
I hugged him close, smelling in his lovely, sweet scent.
"Bella."
A velvet voice caused me to awake. I smiled when I saw Edward's beautiful face.
"Good morning."
A crooked smile appeared as Edward murmured,
"It's night, silly."
And indeed it was. I was firmly wrapped around in a towel, sitting in Edward's warm Volvo.
"DId you family arrive yet?"
Edward's voice tightened.
"No... not yet."
Disturbing our quiet moment, his cell phone rang.
"Hello, this is Edward."
Edward paused for a moment to listen.
"Fine."
He shut his phone close and sped down to his house without a word of explanation.
