Chapter 4: the 2nd date

BPOV:

Before the bear could reach me, another figure opposite of it jumped. It was Edward

The two figures fought until the bear, knowing it was unmatched, ran away.

Edward turned and took me into his arms and started to rub my back soothingly, "I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry."

I stared in amazement at him. This was the 2nd time that he blamed himself for something that my bad luck caused.

I put my hand on his cheek to make him look at me. "This. Is. Not. Your. Fault. Get it through your thick vampire head." I said through my teeth. He gazed at me surprised. I was even surprised at myself. I was normally never angry at Edward; but this time I had a reason.

After a couple seconds, his surprise melted away. "It was my fault." He said mopingly. My frustration was at its limit.

"It's my fault be---" but I cut him off by pressing my lips to his mouth gently. When I let him go, I said softly, "at the moment, I don't care whose fault it was, even though it was mine." He opened his mouth to interrupt me but I kept going "I just want to enjoy our day." I added wistfully. Then out of nowhere, my stomach growled. I laughed. My human frailties always came at the wrong time.

Edward smiled and whipped out a picnic basket. He always had the right things at the right times.

EPOV:

As I watched my angel eat, I couldn't help but feel guilty. This was my entire fault. If I had not gone hunting before seeing her, I would not have this problem.

When she finished, she leaned over and kissed me gently. I kissed her back, enjoying the sensation.

"Was everything alright? Did everything taste okay?" I asked exasperated. She smiled her perfect, dazzling, angel's smile and responded "Everything was just perfect."

She closed her eyes enjoying the sun's warmth. I bent down and whispered in her ear "sleep, love. You need some rest." This time she didn't fight me. She closed her eyes and fell asleep against my chest. I smiled and positioned ourselves on the blanket so that she was lying on top of my chest on the blanket. After that, I watched her sleep with a smile on my face.
