Chapter 1
Ice Skating
"Edward... are you sure this is a good idea?" I asked worried.
"Trust me Bella. It will be fun! I'll be there if you ever fall!" said his sexy vampire voice. Edward took my hand and pulled me into my pre-fate, the ice skating rink. As soon as I set foot in the place I began to freeze. I clung to my coat and waited Edward to return with the skates.
When I finally began to warm up to the idea of skating I heard a loud, pixie-like squeal. I turned around to see a excited Alice running towards me , a little to fast might I add. I was quickly engulfed by the white arms of my vampiric sister. I stumbled backwards and fell onto the cold metal benches sitting around.
"Alice! What are you doing here? I thought you when hunting?" I asked completely surprised.
" Well just as I set foot out the door I saw Edward and you on your way down here and I said what the heck!" she exclaimed with a bright, toothy smile.
As Alice let go, another pair of arms wound their way around me. I tilted my head back to see my perfect fiancee'. He smiled crookedly down at me and brushed his cool lips gently to mine. I giggled and asked, " So we doing this or not?" Edward found his way around the bench and kneeled down at my feet.
He placed the skates down and slowly pushed up my pant leg, he smiles subconsiouly and turned his gaze up to me. "You have no clue how incredibly beautiful you are." I blushed furiously and tried to the take my leg away. "Oh no you don't!" Edward pulled my leg back, "I get to put them on." I sighed defeated and within 30 seconds my skates were tied and safe as could be.
I glowered down at them and the ice that lay ahead. "Edward...mu-" Before I could finish a loud pixie yelp came from behind and Edward and I, clumsy of course, walked towards the ice entrance. Edward placed his arm firmly around my waist and pinned me to the side of the rink. I clung to him and the wall for dear life, I slipped as soon as I began to move, luckily Edward saved me.
As I gained speed, I gained more balance, yet stumbled more. A orange cone came around and I grabbed hold of it and slid around, unsteadily around. After a 10 minutes or so I got more confident and slowly turn straight up and let go. I wiggled like a peuguin for a second then a jerk speed past me causing me to fall on my butt. I yelped in pain and looked up to Mike swirling around like a ballerina.
Edward came to my side, stared at Mike for a long vicious moment then helped me back up. I grabbed hold of his arm and regained the lost balance. "Ed-!" I was cut off by falling again and coming close to jamming the pick of the skate in my back. I glared at my feet and thought, "Come on, I can do this, left , right, slow slow faster faster, WOW look at me go!" I
I was gaining more spead and was actually perfectly steady. I pushed faster and the more balanced I became. I decided to push my luck and let go of Edward. I was a little unsteady yet gained more balance and turned in a twirl. I giggled, and challenged Edward to a tag sort of game. "Catch me if you want a kiss!" I yelled and darted around the rink.
I heard Edward coming for me quickly and pushed my now steady legs faster. For once I actually felt like the superhero and not the damsel, I giggled. I took a glance back, only to see Edward smiling playfully at me, I tucked my body together and slide quickly around the ice. "Bella! Slow down!" I heard Edward call and I turn around and stuck my tongue out at him. Then my eyes widen as the most hilarious, scary thing happened.
I stopped a little to quickly and slip, yet stood back quickly as just a second ago I say Edward collide with Mike and them both landing hard on the ice. I couldn't help but giggle as I saw Edward perfectly unharmed by Mike completely out of it. As Edward rose I noticed an Edward-shaped crack in the ice and the ice around it beginning to break apart.
I laughed at little to loudly and got the Bella-put-those-dirty-underwear-back-in-the-hamper look from Edward. I shuddered. The paramedics came and picked up Mike, they asked Edward if he was alright and of course he was. I stared at the ice then at Edward, "Now Eddie-poo, look you broke the ice, what are we possibly to do with you?" I smiled.
I took Edwards hand as we dropped our shoes off at the rental area and left with a giggling Alice following behind. "You know Edward, you never caught me?" He looked at me questionly then wrapped his powerful arms around me and kissed me deeply. "Does that count?" he whispered as I broke away breathlessly. I smiled and nodded and headed into another twilight.
