A/N - Thank-you all so much for the reviews, as I said they get me pumped me ready to write more! I wasn't sure if I wanted to write this story because I thought it seemed boring, but I wrote it anyways. I was bored! Now look, its really progressing! So thanks again!

Disclaimer- I don't own these characters, I just borrow them. They're my library book you could say. ;)


Chapter 4!

Bella POV

I woke up the next morning in Edward's arms. I had my arms wrapped tightly around his neck and the tips of my fingers were lingering in his hair. His arms were wrapped around my waist, holding me close. I liked it.

A lot.

I could hear Edward's slow and steady breathing and a slight snore that came along with it. My head was laid on his chest and I still had my eyes closed, though I was awake. It felt better to soak in this moment with all my other senses, not seeing. I could feel him, smell him, hear him and though I couldn't taste him, he somehow lingered on my tongue. I tried not to move too much, I didn't want to disturb him and ruin this amazing moment. I honestly swear this could be considered the best moment of my life. Its definitely in my top ten.

Unfortunately my moment ended far to soon as I heard Edward start to wake up. It started with a groan and him tightening his arms around my waist and then he yawned.

"Morning," I mumbled breaking the silence. I still had my head on Edward's chest but suddenly I was nervous if he wouldn't like that. He only stayed with me because I begged him too. I was vulnerable. I still am. I sat up and started to get up and out of bed but Edward's grip tightened even more.

"Where, are... you going?" Edward mumbled, sleepily. "Don't go..."

What? Was he still asleep? He must be, he must be dreaming.

"Edward, wake up." I laughed, slightly shaking him. I was sitting on the edge of the bed and I was slightly hunched over.

"I am awake!" Edward protested and he fully opened his eyes to prove his point. He patted his chest before speaking again. "Now come back here."

He's actually awake. He wants me close. I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming. I have to be. I must be. Oh who cares? I jumped back into his arms and laid my head on his chest again. Well if I'm actually awake, I might as well know what's wrong with him.

"What's up with you?" I asked.

"Nothing, why?" He replied.

"I don't know... Sudden closeness?"

"You don't like it," He stated letting go of me.

"No! I like it!" I shouted holding onto him as if it were for dear life. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me again.

"Good," He whispered. "Cause I like it to."

I sighed and hugged him closer.

"Maybe I was wrong.." Edward started. I looked up, questioning him with my eyes.

"When we get back, things might change." He finished. My eyes popped out of my head. He promised me everything would be the same.

"You promised! Edward you said that-" I was cut off.

"No, Bella! I didn't mean it like that. We will definitely going to be friends, at least. I mean things might change when we get back, or sooner. Sooner I hope." Edward said with a big smile.

"What. Are. You. Talking. About?" I demanded.

"Bella," He whispered, taking my face in his hands before continuing. "This is more intense then I thought it would be. Its just that, well... When I was younger and I had a 'crush' on you. I promised myself there was no one else. I promised myself I wouldn't date anyone or even look at someone the way I look at you."

I looked at him surprised. He sighed before continuing.

"Bella, I have kept that promise."

I'm surprised my jaw didn't make a thud when it hit the ground.

"I still don't get what you're saying. I mean completely. Am I catching the wrong thing?" I asked. I didn't want to put my hopes up just to have them knocked down again. I had to know the truth.

"I have so many feelings for you, Bella." Edward whispered.

Things were going perfectly until there was a knock on the door.

"Room service." A womans voice called from outside the door. I quickly looked over to the clock on the wall.

"Edward! Its nearly noon! We're supposed to be outta here!" I gasped. He chuckled.

"We have 15 more minutes in this room. Get dressed and we'll head out, K?" Edward said before walking over to answer the door. Once the door was opened I heard Edward apologize to the woman. I turned, grabbed my stuff and marched to the bathroom to get dressed.

~!~!~!~!~ !~!~!~!~

By this point, sitting in a truck became boring. Edward and I have been on the road for most of the day. The clock told me the time though I didn't need it. Watching the sun was enough of a clue for me, it wasn't so high up anymore I still check the clock. The clock said that it was almost three.

The day had gone well. Nothing out of the ordinary, I still had no clue where Edward and I were. Edward knew though, and that's all that mattered. He took me out for breakfast at a small restaurant and we talked through most of the day. If Edward and I weren't talking I was sleeping. I felt bad, knowing Edward must be tired to, but when I offered to drive for a while- if he just gave me directions or a map of course,- he refused. After I woke up from my three hour nap I decided that if Edward refused to take naps, I wouldn't either. The least I could do was keep him company.

"The days do go by fast." Edward noticed. I looked out my window and saw the beautiful sunset up ahead. The sunset was beautiful, but compared to what was sitting next to me- it was nothing.

"Yeah," I sighed and I looked over to Edward.

"You don't like this do you?" He asked though it seemed more like a statement.

"No! I don't mind, really I don't. There just isn't much to do." I admitted.

"Yeah, I know. An RV would have been better." Edward joked. I laughed lightly and shook my head.

"I'd never get fresh air! They have a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom! I wouldn't ever have to leave!" I laughed.

"I guess your right."

"You know it." I sighed.

"I wish there was more for you to do."

"Its not your fault. We're both bored."

"I'm not." Edward admitted.

"You aren't?" I asked.

"I finally get to see my best friend again. I learned so much about you, and I get to be with you constantly. There isn't much to complain about." Edward started, "Of course it would be better if we lived in the same place so that we could get out and be in a place we both know, with people we know."

"I'm not bored of you Edward, I'm bored of just sitting." I complained, hoping he didn't the wrong impression when I first said how bored I was.

"I know, I understand. I'll think of something to do." Edward sighed and put on a funny thinking face. "Why you laughing?"

"Nice face."

"I'm in deep thought." Edward told me.

"Just keep your eyes on the road." I said jokingly, though I did mean it. I reached behind my seat to grab my carry-on bag, hoping there was something in there to keep me entertained. I brought it up to my lap and opened it. There was some toilettes, make up, gum and something that really could be used to amuse me.

A video camera. It was a small cam corder, and honestly it was better then nothing. I took it out and turned it on, happy to see that it still had most of its battery.

"What are you doing?" Edward asked me.

"Entertaining ourselves!" I said. I hit record and turned the camera so it was facing Edward.

"Really, Bella? A camera?" Edward asked, stupidly.

"Yeah! Now do something interesting, this is for some road trip memories!" I joked, zooming in on his face.

"Bella you amuse me."

"So Edward," I started in my best interviewer voice I could make up. "How are you liking this road trip?"

"Are you a reporter?"

"Sure. So how are you liking this road trip?" I asked him again.

"Well its the best it could be, considering the fact that I am with the most amazing person ever." He said truthfully, looking over to me with a smile.

"You make me melt." I laughed.

"I also dazzle you, eh?" Edward said. I blushed at that.

"Okay, what was your favourite part of this trip so far?" I asked Edward, changing the subject.

"Um, last night. Definitely." Edward said in a serious tone.

"Why is that?" I asked dumbly.

"I think you know why." Edward laughed, raising his eyebrows.

I my blush deepened after he said that.

"You're giving the camera the wrong impression!" I laughed, trying to hide how flattered I was.

"Oh well," Edward shrugged it off.

I asked Edward a few more questions after that. Questions like, 'Do you like the weather?' and 'What's your favourite food?'. Simple stuff.

"You know," I said suddenly. "I actually like that promise you made," I must've forgot that the camera was there.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, I made a promise similar. I practically kept to it too." I said easily.

"So , are you saying you still like me?" Edward asked, peeking over to me afterwards. My cheeks were fire, and I couldn't help it.

"Yeah..." I said nonchalantly..

"Good, cause I like you too." Edward said as if it were the simplest thing ever. So before my cheeks were hot and now they are hotter then the surface of the freaking sun.

"Bella are you alright?" Edward asked me suddenly worried. I nodded, not saying a word.

"Bella, your sweating and you remind me of Elmo." Edward said jokingly but I could hear a tinge of seriousness.

"I'm fine." I squeaked. What was wrong with me? Not even five minutes ago I was full of courage and I was so brave admitting I like him, but not since he admitted me likes me too. I took deep breaths, trying to regulate my breathing and I wiped my forehead with the back of my hand.

"You don't look fine, maybe I should pull over." Edward said.

"No, no. I'm fine. Really, I was just shocked." I told him, I decided to turn off the camera since this discussion wasn't really something that needed to be recorded.

"Shocked, why?" Edward asked. Did he really have no clue? Really?

"You still like me?" I said and it sounded like a question.

"You weren't prepared to hear that. You didn't want to." Edward sulked.

"NO! I did, I mean I'm so glad! I was just surprised." I admitted. I couldn't look at Edward so I looked down at my hands in my lap.

"Why?" Edward asked.

"I didn't think someone as amazing as you were to be capable of liking me." I mumbled under my breath. I didn't even know if Edward had heard me properly or not. I jumped when Edward started laughing.

"Oh, Bella. Silly, sweet, beautiful Bella. I love that about you. Bella, you are the amazing one here, trust me." Edward said still laughing.

"Edward, I don't find this funny." I said.

"Me neither. I'm just laughing at how I feel completely different. You are the amazing one." Edward explained.

"No," I murmured.

"Yeah. You are." Edward protested. I didn't say anything after that because I had nothing to say.

After awhile I got bored again, and I felt bad that Edward had to put up with me. Edward said he needed to get out and walk so when he drove by a park, he parked the truck and got out. I got out too.

"I haven't been to a park in forever." I laughed while Edward pushed me on the swing. "You know I feel like a little girl when you do this."

Edward laughed. His laugh was the most beautiful sound in my world, it was light and filled with happiness - exactly how I felt whenever I was around him. I don't recall feeling this emotionally attached to him though, when I was a kid. He was just a friend then and I thought of him as nothing more, but now I can't even comprehend the thought of losing him; again.

"You do not look like a little girl." Edward said, lightly. As Edward pushed me on the swing the wind blew in my hair, scattering it everywhere. The park was surrounded by trees and every once and a while I could hear the chirp of a bird and see a squirrel or two run by. The day was nice, unlike what the news said. I was expecting thunder storms and shitty weather to take over, but was granted with sunlight.

"Nice weather, unlike what the weather man said." I noted.

"Yeah, I'm glad. We would've been stuck inside the truck all day." Edward said.

"The sun puts me in a lighter mood too." I sighed, soaking in the sun. I loved the feeling of the sun on my skin, and I adored the way Edward looked in the sun. His skin would shine in the sun as if he were about to sparkle. I swear sometimes I was on a road trip with a man off of a magazine or a man that starred in a chick flick. That wasn't enough though, Edward's so much more then a random guy from a movie. He's more like a Greek God and whom ever is in his presence is lifted. I appreciate every moment with him.

"What are you thinking about." Edward asked me, stopping the swing. His hands were just above mine, holding the swing's chains still.

"You." I said, I might as well tell him the truth, if I lied he know and he'd end up pushing the truth out of me.

"Good thoughts I hope." He mused and I felt his breath on my ear.

"Always." I commented. Edward did something that completely shocked me after I said that. He moved his arms from above mine on the swing's chains and moved them so that he could wrap his arms around my mid-section. I stood up and got off of the swing. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him. He wrapped his arms around me waist and laid his head on top of mine.

"I don't know what's happening between us but I like it." Edward murmured directly into my ear.

"Mmm, me too. I really do." I whispered leaning against him. Edward hummed and I felt it ripple through my body.

"We really should get back on the road but I don't want to let you go." Edward sighed, pressing his face deeper into my hair.

"The later we leave, the later we get home." I commented.

"Yeah... We should go you're right." Edward sighed, starting to let me go.

"What?" I asked. "Edward I didn't mean to let go!" I wrapped my arms around him again.

"You want to go home, though." He whispered.

"I want to be with you as long as possible." I argued.

"Bella, I'll always be here for you, I'm not letting go." He promised again, wrapping his arms around me once again. "Though you're right, I want to stay this way forever. Just you and I."

"Its almost as though we are spelunking! Or that we're adventurers." I added. Edward chuckled.

"Silly Bella." He whispered, "Though with you, its always an adventure."

My heart melted, I swear.

"Edward, you're the sweetest." I told him, leaning up to kiss him on the cheek.

"Only to my best friend." He chuckled.

'Oh yeah, best friend. I forgot. I thought we were more' I wanted to say that, though I didn't. I kept my mouth shut.

"You're frowning?" Edward noticed.

"Yeah, because we should get going, though I don't want to." I whispered. Edward frowned but nodded. Edward and I let each other go - I doing it unwillingly,- and went back to the truck to continue our trip.

~!~!~! !~!~!~!~

The rest of the day we basically played I Spy and when dinner time came around Edward took me to another small diner. The food was better then the last diner we went too. The menu had more of a choice but that wasn't my favourite part about the place. My favourite part was that there wasn't any tall, thin, pretty, female waitresses that flirted with Edward.

After dinner Edward and I went back to the truck to continue the journey.

"I'll stop at motel in the next city okay?" Edward asked.

"City?" I asked.

"Yeah, we're about to hit a highway, it will lead us there. Damn, I forget what the city's called. It's around Edmonton." Edward told me.

"As long as were in Canada and heading towards home." I giggled.

"Of course, unless I was kidnapping you." Edward said and looked over to me and he winked.

"Oh gosh Edward. That's what I love about you." I laughed. I always loved his sense of humor.

"What? You love my sense of humor, my amazing looks, my amazing sex hair and my muscles." Edward joked.

"Oh yeah, all that too." I said sarcastically. Though I had to admit, Edward was pretty dead on about some of the features I loved about him.

"I know, I know. I'm amazing." Edward said with plenty of sarcasm.

"You are." I said with a more serious tone.

"As are you." Edward said, seriously.


Edward drove for about an hour and a half longer, then we reached the motel we were staying in for the night. When we got inside we were greeted by a young man standing behind a desk.

"Can I help you?" The young man asked, he had a bit of a mustache and when he talked I swear I saw it wiggle.

"Do you have any rooms open for tonight?" Edward asked. The young man scrutinized Edward and I was pissed at the way he glared at Edward.

"I'm pretty much booked." He said after looking at the bookings written in his computer.

"Come on, you have to have at least one room open!" I argued. When the young man looked back at me I gave him my best persuasive smile.

"I have one. Only one. The bookings are only open tonight, because tomorrow a couple is coming in to take it over. You have until noon." The young man said, looking at me and he winked. I felt Edward stiffen next to me.

"We'll take it," Edward growled and he wrapped his arm around me waist. I noticed Edward set out over night suitcases on the ground beside him. When the young man noticed Edward's arm wrapped around me, he frowned and turned to grab the keys for our room.

"Here ya go." He said tossing Edward the keys. Edward nodded and turned, picked up the suitcases in one hand, while keeping his other arm wrapped tightly around my waist. Once we were a good distance from the young man behind the desk I confronted Edward.

"What was that for?" I hissed.

"What was what for?" Edward asked.

"The way you glared at that young man the whole time! You must have scared the piss out of him!" I nearly shouted.

"Bella, he looked at you like you were some toy. I could tell what he was thinking about just by the look on his face." Edward growled.

"Edward, what are you talking about?" I asked, stubbornly.

"I'm sure he'd do anything to take my place right now. He'd rather share a room with you. Lets leave it at that." Edward said and I gulped.

"Gross." I mumbled.

"Yes it is." Edward murmured.

Edward and I made it to our room and when while Edward was putting the key in I noticed a small sign near the top of the door. I couldn't hold back my laugh.

"What?" Edward asked, looking over to me. I pointed to the sign and Edward looked at it before joining me in my fit of laughter.

"Now I know why that guy was so jealous of me." Edward laughed.

"I can't believe the only room left is the honeymoon suite." I doubled over in my laughter.

"Now I know why he said the 'COUPLE' is coming tomorrow." Edward said, trying to calm his laughter but failing miserably.

Edward finally unlocked the door and pushed it open, only to reveal a red room with a single bed. It was just like out of a movie, the bed was even heart shaped. I'm sure Edward and I woke up all of the sleeping people in the motel by our laughter.

"Oh, wow. My stomach hurts from laughing so much!" I complained while laughing.

"Mine too." Edward laughed.

Once Edward and I had our own showers, brushed our teeth and changed into our pajamas we got into the only bed and Edward grabbed the remote to turn on the television. He pressed a button and music came on from a hidden stereo.

"Oh gosh." I laughed.

"I don't know, this really is getting me in the mood..." Edward said sarcastically.

"EW!" I shouted.

"What?"

"What if people did it in here."

"Oh gosh, Bella. You're acting like a kid."

"How am I?" I asked, stubbornly.

"'Did it?'" Edward quoted me.

"Yeah you know... Couples... Doing it.." I explained.

"I know, but I only called it 'doing it' when I was a kid." Edward said.

"Well what if they did... touch." I said.

"Well then they had a nice time in their honeymoon suite." Edward joked.

"Edward, that's gross!"

"Bella, they wash these sheets." Edward said.

"I'm still having another shower in the morning. Just to wash off any... thing." I said stubbornly.

"Suit yourself." Edward laughed. "Now how do I get this remote to work?"


A/N - So end of that chapter! I have a question though, I've been thinking a lot.

Should I do an Edward POV, or wait until the story is finished (completely) and write it again, but from Edward's perspective?

Kind of like how Twilight was written from Bella's POV and then Midnight Sun, was started (not completed :( ) from Edward's POV
