AN: Yay :) I have no university today so I'm taking my time to write more. Right now, I'm sitting on my bed, listen to Fergi and eating frozen raspberries. You should try those, they are great! (Even better than candy…)
Thanks once more for your reviews! I could dance a happy dance for every review I get X)

Chapter 4 – Details

Emmett's last remark set my cheeks on fire. Even he noticed. Oh, no… He would remind me pretty often about that, I'm sure.
But I could not help it, Edward is just so… tasty?
"What are you thinking about, Bella? I never saw you blush for such a long time." His right arm crept around my waist and held me close to him.
"Eh… It's nothing, really." I could not tell him.
"Ok, let me try something, then." We were standing right in front of the sports hall now. It seemed as if everybody was already in there because the place in front of the building was vacant.

Edward spun me around to face him once again and gave me a quick kiss on my lips. I did not know how he did that in such a short time but I was pretty sure I felt his tongue again on my lower lip. The sweet scent of his venom reached my nose.I squeaked a little and tried to free me before the red colour on my cheeks became permanent, but surprisingly I had no chance against Edward's iron grip on my waist. He showed my favourite crooked smile while gazing down on me.
"Yes, I thought already it was about that."
"Why do you do that to me?" I new I whined a little and pressed my forehead on his strong chest.
"Do what? Pleasure you?" His eyes were twinkling.
I tool a deep breath. "Yes?"
"Well… Bella, you are not the only one who is quite… tasty. Although I'm not happy that you seem to like my venom pretty much, you have a scent on your lips that is just irresistible."
He kissed my forehead lightly while I was standing there, completely dumbfounded. Why does he always know what to say? Is that a vampire thing, too?
"Come on, we are going to be late for class, everybody else is already in there."

Since Edward returned to school after the trip to Volterra, we had gym together. I could not understand why but I was sure, he let his vampiric charm play with the poor school's secretary. No one could deny him anything if he used that – and I knew best about that fact.
I did not know why he chose gym of all the possible classes he could take together with me. Maybe that was because he liked to see me fall and himself catching me. Maybe he wanted to look good for me while he left all the other boys in class behind him in each and every discipline. After all, he was still a boy and did not every boy want to look good for his girl? Any way, each time he catches me after tripping or after beating another boy in a discipline, I received glares from most of the other girls in class.
I tried to tell Edward what I was thinking about him catching me all the time – he did not need to know my second line of thoughts – but he just said that I was stuck with him and that he could do nothing to change classes again. Yeah, sure.

Anyway, even gym classes tend to come to an end eventually. And the end of gym means? Yes, right: End of school today. Now I had to work at Newton's for two hours and then I could finally spend the rest of the day together with Edward.
As I walked out of the building after changing my clothes, Edward was already leaning on the wall, waiting for me.
"Hi." He smiled as I walked towards him.
"Hi again, little Mr Show-off." I smirked a bit as I leaned on him and let his arms sneak around my waist.
"Oh, come on, Crowley deserved it. The whole game he could not get his eyes from your…" He was on a loss of words and looked past me. I could feel a low growl form in his chest.
"My what?" Did I really want to know?
"Never mind. But his expression was priceless, as I slam dunked the ball right in front of his eyes, you will have to agree to that." He let out a chuckle and flashed some of his teeth in a wide grin.
"Edward, even our teacher could not make such a slam dunk, that was more like something from a pro player, not from a student."
He raised one brow, bent his head to one side and showed his crooked smile.
"But yeah, it looked great, Edward. I don't know what Tyler was thinking about, let alone what he was staring at, but as far as you don't hurt him physically, it's ok, I think." To be honest, I was speechless as I watched him dunking that poor ball right in front of Eric, Tyler and Mike. They were far from amused and Edward had looked like a professional player right then. As I remembered, I could feel a grin spread on my face.
"You liked it." He stated matter-of-factly.
I hesitated a bit, but answered: "Yes."

"Hey, Bella, will we meet at the shop in half an hour?"Mike. Leave it to him to interrupt a moment of utter happiness.
"Yes Mike, I'll be there. See you soon!"
As I turned around to Edward once again, I could see that he listened to Mike's thoughts – and he wasn't happy with what he heard.
"I don't like him. Neither him nor his thoughts." He stated.
"Nevertheless, you are going on a camping trip with him, Eric, Tyler and some other humans and I'm pretty sure the girls won't have many nice thoughts, either."
An evil grin spread across his face. "Yes and after that trip, I'm sure that at least the boys won't come near you again if I'm around – and I will be around every possible moment."
Poor guys. But I was just too frightened to ask what Edward was planning to do to them.
"Ok, let's go. You can leave your things in the backseat of my car if you want, I'll be there to pick you up after work."
"You just don't want to loose time with me while I'm tripping my way to my house to leave my things there, right?"
"Maybe." There was a low but playful growl coming from inside of him.

The car drive to Newton's was silent. Edward drove a reasonable speed, which surprised me a bit. He held my hand in his strong one the whole drive. As he pulled into the parking lot at the store, he looked deep into my eyes.
"He wants to talk about the trip and give you all the information you need. Alice will take you shopping tomorrow after school, so you can get everything you need. I don't really think that you have anything you could need for a trip like the upcoming one." He saw my frown and just when I was about to protest, he added: "Don't worry. I will come along with you and watch out that it won't take too long." He winked at me.
I raised a brow. "Too long? Do you measure that in vampire time or human time?"
Edward just chuckled, got out of the car and helped me out of it after I unbuckled.
"Be safe, Bella. I love you."
"I will. I love you too, Edward."
A short kiss later, his shiny Volvo drove away from the store.

"Hey, Bella!" Mike greeted as I entered the store. I said hello and took the small nametag out of my back pocket."Did you already think about the trip?" Of course that would be the first question he'd ask.
"Uhm… yes." Thinking was not really what I was doing while saying 'yes' to Edward's request, but anyway.
"Yes, you thought about it, or yes you will come with us?" I could see a light frown on his face and smiled.
"Both. Yes, I will join you on your trip, just like Alice, Emmett and Edward will, too." Better make it clear that I won't be alone. Mike did not have to get his hopes up. When I mentioned Emmett and Edward, I could see that he was trying to hide a frown. It is surprising how living with vampires heightens the senses for facial expressions. All the Cullens could hide what they think (at least from me, I was sure Edward knows everything) and I could never be 100 percent sure that what I saw on their faces was what they really felt. In comparison to that, humans were as open as books.
"Cool. Do you have any experience with camping?"
Was he serious? I really had to stifle a laugh. "No, sorry, Mike. Nature and I don't come along well normally. But I'll try it and maybe I'll survive it."
"Ah, yes, I thought something like that after I talked to you. Anyway. Do you want to know where we are headed and what will await you? I don't think there will be many customers today, still something about those big wolfs or bears around town…"
To be correct: Werewolves. But he did not need to know that. I was surprised that they were seen so often. Maybe they got a bit careless, because the hunt of Victoria took so long? But I did not want to think about that at this moment.
"Sure, fill me in on the details. Alice and Edward will take me shopping tomorrow, it would be nice to know what I need to get."
"Oh, I don't think you will have to buy much. The place I chose is one with small cabins around a huge fireplace. In one of the cabins is a small kitchen so we have enough room to store our food away. We will divide the cabins, so that in one cabin there are the boys while in the other are the girls."
Oh, great. To be honest, I was scared that we might have to sleep in tents, compared to that cabins sound much better. But Mike, Tyler, Eric, Emmett and Edward in one room for two nights? Poor guys – and I'm talking about the humans.

"Bella? Are you still listening?" Mike's voice brought me back to reality.
"Ah, yes, sorry. I kind of zoned out a bit."
"Yes, I thought so… But on with the explanations. The whole camping ground is in the middle of a huge forest, about three hours driving from here." Great. Forest all around. "I already asked, there are no wild animals out there. But, if there are… I'll protect you, Bella." He looked quite uncomfortable saying that and all I could think of was: Yeah, sure. I want to see how you would protect me from a wild animal when Edward could not do that.
"Mike, just don't think about wild animals, ok? It makes me a bit… Well…"
"Yeah, of course. I'll drop that topic. On with the planning. The day we arrive at the camping grounds, we will just move in. At night, we will have a scary-story-contest, how does that sound to you?" A huge grin was plastered on his face.
"Eh… Scary?" I'm curious how many vampire stories will be told… Poor vampires.
Mike let out a laugh. "Right!" The twinkling in his eyes left no doubt that he wanted to tell a better story than a certain boyfriend of me. Poor Mike, if he only knew that Edward himself was kind of a walking scary story… Well, not to me, but I'm sure Edward would get his 'running and screaming' if Mike would find out. Although I wouldn't be the one doing that.
"The second day, we could go swimming or make something like a scavenger hunt through the woods, and –"
"Swimming?!" Where did he want to go swimming in the middle of a forest?
"Eh.. yes? There is a lake near the camping ground and its water is always warm. Don't ask me why, you are way better in biology and geology than me, but I know for sure that someone can swim in the water without getting cold."
I was dumbfounded. Swimming? That would mean that I would see Edward only in his bathing trunks! Ok, everybody else would see him, too… Hm… I wonder, what Lauren will do? Or Jessica? Oh, I'm in for trouble. Anyway, I get to see him in swimming trunks! The trip seems to work out better than I thought in the beginning…

"Bella? Everything's ok with you? You are jumping up and down since about five minutes, giggling and grinning like a madman… I'm getting scared a bit, you know?" Mike stood across from me, leaning on the counter and raised his left brow, looking utterly confused.
"Eh… It's nothing, well, it's just… I like swimming." That wasn't a lie but I hope, he won't ask any further questions.
"You seem to like it very much, according to your behaviour… But ok. We did not plan what we will do on Sunday, our third day there. We will have to leave the ground around the late afternoon, but what we will do till then will be thought up spontaneously. Any questions left?"
"Yes. Do I need a sleeping bag, or are there beds? And what about bathrooms?"
"There are plenty of beds, believe me. And about the bathrooms… Yes, there is a separate cabin only for that. We will have to make a schedule, who can use the showers at which time, though. There are enough, but I don't think you girls would like to shower together with us guys, am I right?" Now it was his turn to grin like a madman.
I wanted to reply something but couldn't think of anything, so I just glared at him.

"Ok, one last question. When do we start?"
"This Friday. After school, we will go and get all the things we need. One hour after school we will meet in front of our store and then: Into the wild!"
"Ok, thanks for the information, Mike. Seems as if it will turn out to be a great weekend." If I won't trip and break a bone or something.
"Of course! Hey, we planned it at least a month! And Bella? I'm really happy that you will come with us."
"Yes, but don't get your hopes up too high. Edward will be there, too." I could not hide the small smile on my face.
"Yeah… Ah, by the way: Do you know where he learned to slam dunk? Man, he truly looked like a pro!"
I held on to the counter and laughed. "He likes to practice with his brothers. He has to be good when playing against Emmett." And besides, I'm sure he could do even better and more awe-inspiring, because he can move faster and jump higher than you will ever be able to do, but you'll never see that… Hopefully, I will.
As I mentioned Emmett, I could see Mike flinch a bit. Edwards 'brother' could be very intimidating, even if he does not intend to do so.

The rest of the time went by fast. I had to tidy up some of the shelves on the other side of the store and even though Mike thought that no one would come today, he got some customers.
"Mike, I'm finish for today! See you at school tomorrow!" I waved at him as I left the store. Sure enough, Edward's Volvo was parked right in the same spot like two hours earlier.

He leaned on the passenger's door and smiled my favourite crooked smile.
"How was it?" he asked.
"Oh, nice. He told me about the trip, just as you said. I think, it will be an interesting weekend."
He hugged me in a thigh embrace but let me enough room to breath.
"I think so, too…"
He gave me a quick kiss on my forehead, and then held the door open so that I could climb into the passenger's seat.
"Bella, I won't be around tonight, I'm sorry."
"You need to hunt, right?"
"Exactly. If something happens, you can phone Esme, Carlisle, Rose or Jasper, they will be at home tonight. I think, we will have to hunt much until Friday, so I'm quite sure we won't be at school tomorrow… I'll send you a message to your cell phone when we need more time than just tonight, so you won't have to wait in vain tomorrow morning. Ok?"
We were already in the driveway of Charlie's house when he finished.
Half a day without Edward? I sighed. "It's ok. It's just that I don't like to be parted from you for such a long time. But anyway, take the time you need and be safe, ok?"
He smiled his crooked smile on my last remark. "Nothing will happen to me, I promise, Bella. Be safe yourself, I would not like to know that something happened to you while I was away."
"You don't like that if you are with me, too."
"That's right."
We smiled for a short time at each other.

Eventually, I unbuckled my seatbelt and when I wanted to open the door, Edward already held it open for me. I'll never get used to his speed."Thanks."
I took his outstretched hand and stepped out of the car. Right when I was standing in front of him, the door already closed, he took my wrists in his strong hands and pinned me on the side of his car. An impish grin spread across his face. It send an icy chill down my spine.
"Edward?" What was he up to?
"Shh… Be very still, my love."
His body touched mine and even if I wanted to, I wasn't able to move. Our eyes locked and I wasn't even able to blink.
"One last kiss for today." His breath hit me full force and once again today, my legs felt like pudding. Our lips met in a very passionate kiss. This time, I was prepared as I felt his tongue on my lower lip and parted my lips to invite him. I felt him stop in his motions and I was sure he debated in his head if it was safe enough to follow my invitation.

His head said yes.

Slowly, I felt his tongue slip between my lips and for a very shot time, my own tongue met his. He pulled back and I had to remind me how to breathe. Yes, my train of thought from earlier today was totally right. He tasted even better when I did not have his venom only on my lower lip.
We both took some deep breaths and I had the heart to open my eyes again – I didn't even know I closed them during the kiss. Edward had his forehead leaning on my won while my wrists were still in his iron-like grip. My heart was beating unregularly but I already thought that this would happen.
"Let's say bye to some boundaries, won't we?" His eyes were sparkling as he asked that.
I whispered my answer. I did not know if I was capable of much more. "Sure."
Edward grinned again. "And by the way, Bella, Emmett was right."
Oh, no.
"What do you mean?" My voice was still a bit shaky.
"You are addicted, you crazy, little human."
I felt the familiar red blush creep across my cheeks, setting them on flames.
"Yes, I am, I admit it. But so are you, my beloved vampire."
"Completely true."

He gave me one quick kiss on the lips again and then released his grip on my wrists.
"Sorry to say this, but Alice and Emmett are waiting for me. I'll see you tomorrow at school, ok?"
"Sure! I wish you much fun and happy hunting." I winked at him, he flashed his teeth in a wide grin.
"We will have that. Bye, Bella, I love you."
"I love you, Edward."

I went to the front door of the house. It only dawned on me now, but Charlie wasn't at home yet – luckily. I did not want to know what he would say after he saw Edward and me out there… Whoa, my legs were still like pudding… Anyway, Edward's scent and taste still lingers on my lips. Hmm…. I really hope, we will be able to kiss that way that more often…

As I opened the door, I heard Edward's car pull away.

Yes, we were really two addicted.

AN: Sorry about the end, I just could not restrain from the fluff. I love fluff… Please tell me, what you think about it :) (Hm. This chapter turned out to be longer than I planned it…)
