A/N: Yay!!! Chapter three is up sooner than I expected. I woke up early this morning and was suddenly excited about writing it. Hope you enjoy it
We drove for about two minutes and Edward stopped at a parking lot. I realized, as I looked out the window, that we were at a park. It was late, so there weren't many other cars there. I wondered why Edward had brought me here. He said nothing as we stepped out of his car, but he took my hand and led me to the entrance. We walked into the park, without saying a word. It was beautiful. The sidewalks were lined with various sweet smelling flowers - roses, daisies, gardenias, and various others I could not name. The lights were old fashioned, like hanging gas lamps, and they were dim enough so that stars were still clearly visible. It was completely quiet, except for the sound of water somewhere in the near distance. We walked closer to the water, Edward was still holding my hand, and we stopped at a magnificent fountain. The water jumped up at different heights, each lighted by a different color. The edges of the fountain had a roman-like design, and the bottom was scattered with coins. I looked at Edward, the colored lights were reflected on his pale skin. He looked at me and smiled, then he tugged on my hand gently and sat me down at the edge of the fountain. He sat next to me. I could feel flecks of water being sprayed onto me, but I didn't mind. It felt somehow refreshing.
"Edward...it's beautiful here..." My voice was barely a whisper. He said nothing for a moment, but looked up at the sky. It was the perfect shade of dark blue. The stars, so clearly visible, twinkled at us - as if watching our every move.
"Dark blue,
dark blue
Have you ever been
alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world
could be burning dark blue
We were boxing, we
were boxing the stars
We were boxing (we
were boxing) you were swinging for Mars
And then the water
reached the west coast
And took the power
lines, the power lines
And it was me and
you and the whole town underwater
There was nothing we
could do
It was dark blue "
"I know. I came across this place while I was driving around one day. I never came back until now - until I had someone to share it with. It's not a very well known park, mostly only the nearby residents know of this place. I thought you might like it here. It makes me feel...relaxed." I nodded in agreement and put my head on his shoulder. He gently brushed a strand of hair out of my face. He looked into my eyes for a while, and I looked back. I couldn't imagine him looking into my eyes as being better than me looking into his. While my eyes were a boring brown, looking into Edward's eyes was like looking into a pool of melted gold. Edward was leaning closer to me, my heart fluttered as his lips were almost touching mine. His cold lips then pressed gently against mine, I could feel my heart being erratically. My arms intstinctively wrapped around his neck, to pull him closer, and his arms settled around my waist. I could feel the kiss deepening. Edward and I had never kissed like this before. My body was pressed against his, his arms had tightened around my waist. My lips parted slightly, and I found that I was trying to part Edward's lips as well. My heart felt like it could jump out of my chest at any moment. And suddenly, it was over as quickly as it had began. Edward had pulled away from me so quickly, and was now sitting with his back turned to me. He was breathing heavily.
"Bella..." He was panting slightly, "I'm sorry...we shouldn't have...I...almost lost control." I looked at him and tried to smile.
"It's alright Edward." I was hoping the kiss would have lasted longer and I wanted it to go even deeper, more passionate. I knew that could never happen with me as a human. "Edward..." I hesitated, "right now would be the perfect time for you to change me." He let out an exasperated sigh.
"Bella, how many times do I have to tell you - no."
"But Edward!" I pleaded, "how can we be like a real couple if we can't even kiss for more than ten seconds? It's difficult for us when I'm a human. I know that you think that too."
"Bella, it's not difficult with you being a human, it's difficult with me being a vampire."
"But you can't change into a human! You can change me into a vampire! And it's convenient here! There's no one around." I knew that I would lose the argument, but I had to try anyways.
"Bella. No. End of discussion. Come on, it's late, Charlie will be waiting for you." He took my hand again, this time, his grasp was more stiff. I knew that I had upset him. I tried to say something, but decided that Edward could probably calm down by himself. We walked to the car in silence.

I've already got chapter four pretty much planned out. It should be up sometime next week. It'll probably be in Edward's point of view. Once again, thanks for reading, any critisism, comments, or suggestions are appreciated.
