Chapter Three

"Delicate"

Rose's POV

I lay all night thinking about the man I had ran into. He couldn't have been more than eighteen, hardly a man if you asked me. I wanted to see him again. Though I knew it was forbidden, especially since Alice had warned me yesterday of the evils of this world while we ate some cake. It was simple, Bella made it. She had warned me of evil sprites and witches, which would disguise themselves as normal every day people. They wanted me safe and so I promised I would not speak to any strangers. The more I thought about it, the more I knew that the man I met was no stranger, he looked so much like the one in my dreams, and I can't help but think I had truly met him before. I decided I would return to that exact spot in hopes that he would be riding though again. I rose from my bed, seeing Alice sitting in a chair by the fire I told her I was leaving to play outside and would indeed be home in time for lunch. She nodded and I slipped out running through the forest. I came to the turn in the creek where he had stood and sang to me, it seemed like my self consious had brought me here... I jumped to the rock in the middle of the stream and stooped to look at the fish swim by me, I ran my hands though the water.

"I had hoped you would be here." A voice spoke and I looked up. He was smiling down at me from atop his horse on the side of the creek.

"Hello." I smiled and stood, straightening my back. He slid from his horse and tied the reins to a nearby tree. I jumped and landed on the side of the riverbed. Not once slipping, thankful for that.

"Good morning." He smiled and bowed. I giggled and curtsied. "Would you take a walk with me?" He asked.

"I would love to." I agreed and took his arm as he led me through the trees.

"Will you tell me what your name is?" He asked. I smiled; I had decided I would tell him Rose, for Alice, Bella and Angela called me Rosalie.

"If I do, you must tell me yours." I bartered. He laughed heartedly.

"Agreed." He smiled.

"It's Rose." I winked.

"Edward." He winked back.

"Edward, I like that name." I smiled.

"Rose is perfect, a rose is a beautiful and delivate flower. You are beautiful and delicate, such a perfect name fo you." He smiled and though he meant well I was angry and turned my face from him. Ripping my arm from his I walked faster and walked ahead of him.

"Rose? I am sorry did I say something wrong?" He asked. I spun to meet his eyes.

"I am not as delicate as you seem to think. I am not some spoiled little girl who has no idea what to do with herself. I have to cook and clean and I climb tree's and I cant remeber the last time I got hurt. I even managed to fight off a boar one time in these very woods!" I spat.

"What? A boar, Rose! Those are really dangerous!" He said in a panic.

"It wasnt a big deal, and I was fine and handled it." I huffed.

"Rose when I said delicate I meant... well... I didn't mean you couldn't take care of yourself." He sighed and held his hand out to me. I took it and let myself be pulled into his chest, he was so warm and he held me like I was a treasure.

"Then what do you mean?" I whispered and placed my forehead against his chest.

"I mean't that you shouldn't have to clean and cook and fight off boars. You should be pampered and loved and taken care of because you deserve it." He whispered into my hair.

"Life sometimes isn't fair, and it deals you a different set of cards than you had hoped for." I shrugged and turned my head so that I could fit it in the crook of his neck.

"I would take care of you, you wouldn't have to ever not have everything you need." He whispered.

"That would be nice, but again this is the real world." I pulled from him and kissed his cheek. "I will always need to work for something, for that feeling of fulfillment you get when its finished." I explained. He nodded and looked off in the distance.

"I have to get home... but I will see you again tomorrow afternoon not morning." He smiled and I nodded. I watched as he mounted his horse and with a wave galloped into the tree's. I watched him go and knew in my heart I wanted him forever, and fell in love with him the moment he told me he wanted to take care of me and never have me work again. It was a sweet gesture though I would never allow it. It showed he truely cared, maybe even loved me.
