Chapter 2

Sorry about the lateness I just finished it. Enjoy!

Bella POV

I looked over to Edward panic evident in my features. He smiled and packed my bag having already packed his own bag. If you ask me it was a shame we had to leave early. From what Alice had been hinting Edward was going topless with just some beige PJ bottoms. I sighed, looks like we were out.

"Cullen, out!" Mike said calmly pointing towards the door. He wasn't even looking at me, or talking to me. I cocked my head to the side and looked at him. He was still mad at Edward for the whole damn game we just played. If only he knew that Alice had cheated just so I didn't have to kiss his vial lips.

"Mike, are you kicking my boyfriend out?" I asked in a sticky sweet voice batting my eyelashes at him. Mike smiled at me trying to look sexy. He made me want to gag.

"Yep!" he said happily. "then we can be together..." he said running his repulsive fingers up and down my arm. I held back my grimace and I smiled at him. Before he knew what was happening, my arm coiled tightly and sprang forward colliding with mikes face. I'd punched him in the face. He stumbled back and fell on the floor. I smiled once again before picking up my stuff and walking out the door with Edward on my heals.

"Nice left hook. You didn't break your hand like last time did you?" he asked suspiciously. I looked down to my fist. It was tensed ready to shoot forward again if Newton made any advance for me again. And I mean EVER.

Just then Alice danced over to me pulling me into a tight hug. "I'll see you in the morning, and, just for the record, I didn't say I didn't see this coming." She said looking at me and winking. I pulled her back into a hug kissed her cheek and thanked her before feeling myself being pulled away from her and into Edwards warm arms. I felt his freezing body press against mine. I could feel all his muscles through the thin shirt I was wearing. I sighed in contentment as he slid his lips down to my ear to whisper.

"We should probably get going before Mike comes out and calls the cops." He whispered in his smooth velvet voice. I nodded my back to him walking to the Volvo. He followed me to the Volvo opening my door as always before walking over to his door in a slow human pace. He smiled at me crookedly before running his hand through his sexy hair. He chuckled before he started talking.

"you know, I'm not taking you home," he stated looking over at me gauging my expression which was calm as I thought of being with Edward away from Charlie for a night I smiled at him as he continued. "we're dropping the Volvo at the house and then we are going to the meadow were we will stay the night I'll get some blankets and we can get changed in the house, we can sleep under the stars and I can stay with you without having to hear out for Charlie. It will be fun." My smile widened as we parked the Volvo and went to get blankets, pillows and to get changed.

Once I was ready for bed a walked out walking into Edward's room to find him sitting on his bed with a bag filled with blankets, sleeping bags and pillows. He had no shirt over his well muscled torso he wore long pyjama bottoms and he had no shoes on his feet, unlike me who had put some flip-flops on. He smiled at me getting up and making his way over to where I stood. I smiled as he picked me up bridal style slinging the big heavy bag on his back. Edward walked out of his room effortlessly seeing as he was carrying me and a heavy bag.

We walked through the silent house hearing not even the wind. My heartbeat was the only sound. Edward matched his silent footsteps to my hearts rhythm as we descended the stairs and locked the front doo behind us. As soon as we were out the door Edward sped down the porch and quickly sped up into a full blown –vampire speed- sprint. We flew at about two hundred miles an hour and reached the meadow in a mere five minutes even though it was normally around a half hour car journey and a two hour hike. How I loved the vampire speeds Edward could go to.

When we got to the meadow Edward dropped the bag in the middle before kissing me deeply and passionately. When he broke away he gently placed me on my feet and flopped down onto his back on the floor of the meadow. I lay down next to him snuggling into his side. Edward put his arms around me sighing. After what seems like a lifetime –one that I hope to never end- Edward sat up leaning back on his hands so he could look at the sky. I did the same noticing the sky as clear of clouds for once showing the beautiful twinkling stars.

Just then Edward searched over and took my warm hand in one of his cold ones. I looked up at his face to see a light shimmer coming off his bone white skin. It was like the effect the sun has but much more mild as to the fact the moon was smaller and doesn't shine as much. As I stared at Edward he stared back at me as if I was a small miracle he had found, like a diamond in the rough.

We sat hand in hand in silence staring each other. I traced the lines on his hand and he traced the features on my face with his other hand. I stared into his eyes. His eyes were a diluted strong shade of liquid topaz that only had a hint of black meaning he wasn't thirsty in the least. He leaned in towards me his nose tracing my collar bone. He moved his face up and kissed me with passion and intensity. I enjoyed the moment almost too much. Well Edward would say that anyway.

The moment was spoiled by a deep booming laugh coming from the bramble thicket nearby. Edward growled at the bush. "we know your there Emmett come out with your hands up." I giggled at Edward's solemn tone he sounded like a cop from those bad movies – the ones that love doughnuts. He never acted like this unless he was angry at something. A bush quaked as Emmett laughed louder. Emmett rolled out of the thicket holding his gut as he rolled around. "Edward and Bella sitting in a meadow k-i-s-s-i-n-g." Emmett couldn't finish he just kept giggling.

Edward growled at Emmett again that sent Emmett howling with laughter. Alone time spoiled I decided to talk to Emmett. I held onto Edward's hand, tracing patterns in his skin trying to calm him a little, I'm sure I heard him purr a little like a tiger that was being pet. It was cute!

"So Em, what you doing following us?" I asked getting into a cross-legged position if front of Edward who sighed aggravated at the fact Emmett had ruined our time together and the fact I'd stopped tracing his hand. Edward switched his position so he was sitting behind me and I was on his lap. He started playing with my hair and drawing patterns on my back it was soothing and distracting at the same time.

"Um…" Emmett started thinking, something he rarely did and it shocked me to see that he was actually thinking of thinking… if that makes sense. Boy, now I'm confused. "OH! Now I remember!" Emmett shouted triumphantly Edward and I stared at him.

"Yes…?" Edward asked rolling his eyes clearly hoping Emmett would disappear. Of course he was in no such luck as he still sat there grinning like a chestier cat.

"Well…" he drew out the word making it ten times longer than it needed to be only annoying Edward even more. Then Emmett decided to go super speed. He took a big breath before he spoke again. "Iwaswalkingalongwhenisawyouguys,youseealicegotmekickedoutandiwasonthewayhomebutidecidedtocomefindyouguyssowecouldbekickedouttogether!" (I was walking along when I saw you guys, you see Alice got me kicked out and I was on the way home but I decided to come find you guys so we could be kicked out together!)

Both Edward and I sighed rolling our eyes. After 3 hours of listening to Emmett's babble we got up and headed back to the Cullen house, Emmett in tow.

Nothing would prepare us for what we found there.
