Sorry for such a long delay on this chapter... school has been kicking my ass and it's been non stop.

Previously…

I waved to them and started back up the beach, as I was walking Edward came up beside me, "would you mind a walking companion, or do you want to go alone." He looked a little unsure of himself, but as I smiled he seemed to relax.

"I would love to have a walking companion."

Chapter 4- BPOV

Edward and I walked to the beach house and walked into the kitchen, we went up the stairs to our bedrooms, when we got into the hallway, Alice and Jasper were just leaving their room. When Alice noticed us walking together, she giggled. "Hey guys, what are you doing here?"

I rolled my eyes, "nothing important, we're are just going for a walk to see what's around here." Alice raised her eyebrows, "really? ok, have fun!"

Edward chuckled, "we will, see you guys later. Good luck with the wedding stuff." He then walked into his room to change.

When he shut the door, Alice came over to me and dragged me into my room. "Ok! You need to tell me what happened at the beach, cause Jasper tells me you were playing horse?" I giggled and rolled my eyes at Jasper's description of the way Edward and I were joking around in the water. Alice was jumping up and down, in suspense, "come on, come on, COME ON!" she screamed.

"Alice, you need to go and focus on your wedding reception right now, we'll talk later." I told her, hoping to appease her. She huffed and crossed her arms like a little girl, Jasper chuckled from behind her and wrapped his arms around her , "come on honey, let's go and look at how great your designs look in our reception hall." After he said that she relaxed and grabbed his hand, "Ok! Let's go!" She walk skipped out of the room with Jasper in tow, before she left the room, she turned to me. "Don't think you're off the hook!" I rolled my eyes when she left the room.

After Alice left, I grabbed a towel from my closet and my toiletries, then i made my way to the bathroom. I knocked on the door incase Edward was in there, I heard Edward call "come in", so I walked into the bathroom and my jaw dropped. There standing by the sink, running gel into his amazing hair, was Edward wearing nothing but a towel, that hung low on his hips. I closed my mouth and looked away before he would catch me staring.

"Sorry, I am almost done, and then I will let you have the bathroom." Keeping my eyes on the ground, I nodded "Ok, that's fine, you can take your time." There were a few seconds of silence and then I felt, Edwards hand under my chin and lifted my head up so my eyes would meet his.

"What's wrong?" He asked, concern lighting his beautiful green eyes. I felt my cheeks heat up, and I don't think I could have looked away even if Edward wasn't holding on to my chin.

"Um… n-nothing…" I had to think of something, I couldn't tell him I was ogling his chest! "I… I just feel bad, I didn't mean to m-make you rush, I'm sorry feel free to take your time…" Ehh… I guess that was good enough.

His face softened and he smiled lightly, "Don't worry about it, we share the bathroom, that means you have every right to it as I do." I could tell by the look on his face that he didn't fully believe that but I was glad that he went along with it, because I know anyone else would probably continue to nag me until I told them.

"Ok," I said softly, Edward grinned and turned away to grab the hair gel off the sink and run some through his hair. At that moment all I could think about was how much I wanted to be the one running my hands through is amazingly sexy hair. I quickly looked away before he would realize I was staring at him and occupied myself with get ready for my shower. I grabbed my shampoo, conditioner, body wash and razor from my bag and bent down to place them in the shower. When I turned around I saw that Edward was staring at me through the mirror, with an odd look in his eyes, and when he realized I noticed him starring he smirk and winked at me. Naturally, being me I blushed, so I dropped my head so that my hair would cover it.

"Bella?" I lifted my head up to look up at Edward, "Yea?" He smiled, "I'm done now, feel free to take a shower" and with that he walked into his bedroom, closing the door behind him. I stood there for a second just staring at the door before I snapped out of it and went to take my shower.

After I finished, I got out and walked to the mirror; I grabbed my comb and brushed through by hair before scrunching some mousse into it and running my towel through it to dry it a little. I then packed up my toiletries and walk back into my bedroom to change. I had no clue what to wear, I didn't want to go overboard since I was just taking a walk with Edward, but at the same time I did want to look nice.

In the end I decided that I should change my style too much because then I wouldn't be me, so I chose a turquoise tank top with a denim vest and a pair of kaki shorts. After I got dress, I grabbed my purse from my desk and stuffed my wallet and cell phone into it as well as a key to the cottage and walked out of my room. When I got down the stairs to the living room I saw Edward sitting on one of the couches looking out the window. As he heard me walk in he turned and smiled at me, "Hey, I was wondering if you were ever going to come down here."

I blushed, "sorry if I kept you waiting too long, I swear I didn't mean t-"

My words were cut short by Edward, when he placed his hand over my mouth, "Bella! It's alright, really you didn't keep me waiting. Actually you are quite quick for a girl, it's very refreshing. I laughed, "Yea, when I got out with Alice, she starts getting ready at 1:00pm if we are going out at 5:00pm."

Much to my amusement, Edwards eyes look like they were about to fall out of his head, when I said this. "You're kidding! How the hell does she spend FOUR HOURS, just getting ready? The girl doesn't even have that much hair!" I giggled at his reaction, "Yea, I know… this is why I hate when she decides she wants to dress me up… because it is usually not a quick process."

Edward laughed, "Yea, I can imagine that it would be a painful experience, I am very glad I am not a girl." I shook my head and snorted, "Please, if you think you are off the hook with her… you are incredibly wrong, you do know she is going to be very controlling when it comes to what grooms men are going to be wearing. You're screwed!" I that point, Edward looked as if some had run over his puppy, "Aw, I don't want her to go all crazy with my clothing."

"Well, it's too late now, you became screwed from the minute Jasper first met her." Edward signed, "Yea, you're probably right, whatever I don't want to think about it anymore, let's go." He grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door, as we were walking down the street towards the town I was very aware of the fact that Edward had not let go of my hand. I smiled slightly at this; I wasn't going to complain at all, actually I couldn't help but feel elated. Even though it might not mean anything, I still felt this huge need to just start squealing like Alice does when her favourite stores are having a sale.

"So Bella, where do you want to go?" I thought for a second and looked up at Edward, "Uhhh… well when we were driving up here yesterday I saw this little market by the beach just a few minutes from here. Do you mind going there? We don't have to if you don't want to, I realize it might be bo-"

Edward covered my mouth with his free hand, essentially cutting me off, "Bella, you're rambling now. Don't worry, I have no problems going to the market and honestly, I saw that market when I was coming over too and I was curious to look around as well." I nodded and pulled Edwards hand off my mouth and smile, "Okay, cool and sorry about the rambling…"

Edward chuckled, "Aha, okay let's go." He tightened his grip on my hand and pulled me across the street. "By the way, I don't mind the rambling… in fact, I think it's very cute," he told me and smiled. I looked down blushing, not being able to stop the giggle that came out.

For the rest of the walk we stayed pretty silent enjoying each others company, it was nice that we didn't have to fill the silence to be comfortable. When we finally got to the market place, we walked through the entrance way and I was amazed by how beautiful and cool it was. It was a cute little market that was made to look like a small town and there was festive music playing around the whole market.

We walked around the market looking at the different shops and stands, just looking around at first. We decided to stop at a little ice cream shop that looked delicious, it seriously had every flavour imaginable and then some. "What flavour do you want Bella?" Edward asked me, I looked through all the flavours and then turned to him. "Um, I think I am going to get dark chocolate and raspberry." When I went to order and took out my wallet from my bag, I felt Edward wrap his arms around me so I was able to move my own arms. "Nope Bella, I am not letting you pay… what kind of a gentlemen would I be if I let that happen?" I rolled my eyes and tried unsuccessful to get out of his grip, "come on Edward I can't let you pay." Edward chuckled in my ear and handed his money over to the cashier who was smirking at our antics.

Still in Edwards grip, which I could get out of, I turned my head to look at him and glared at him, but it didn't really work because I wasn't able to wipe the smile off my face. "Edward, you can't use your strength to win arguments, it's completely unfair!" He laughed, "hey, it is completely fair, you use your cute little pout when you want to convince me… I need something to even the score." I blushed at the fact that he called me cute and giggled, "hey your obviously gonna be stronger than me, considering how much bigger and taller you are than me. That isn't in my control, the pouting on the other hand, I wouldn't consider unfair… it's not my fault your weak mentally." I told him winking.

Edward gasped dramatically, "Bella, I am hurt, very very hurt!" I snorted and looked up at the counter to see the cashier holding out our ice creams for us to take. "Uh.. Edward, it would be greatly appreciated if you let go of me now, so I could get my ice cream." He snickered and let go of me to grab our ice cream cones, he was about to hand mine to me, but then he stopped and held it out of my reach. "Hmmm… I don't know if I should give you the ice cream, I mean you really hurt my feelings!"

I laughed, then pouted, "I am really sorry Edward! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings!" There was really no point to the pout, I just really enjoyed the look on Edward's face, whenever I pouted.

Edward sighed and handed my cone to me. He grumbled, "jeez, you are one truly lethal creature. It's crazy, you are the only one to get me to budge without being physical!" I giggled and smirk, "well what can I say, I am one awesome and very adorable person," I told him jokingly. I heard Edward mumble, "you have no idea," but he said it so quietly that I wasn't sure if I was supposed to hear it, or if he truly had said it.

When we walk out of the ice cream shop, we saw that there was a band playing in the little park across from the shop. Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me towards them, when we got to the park, he pulled me down to sit with him and we sat there eating our ice cream and watching the band. We were just sitting there enjoying the music, when I felt Edward poke my sides making me jump. I squealed, "Stop it!" I told him giggling, no tickling me with ice cream in my hand, otherwise things can turn very ugly," Edward chuckled, "Bella, I am not very scared of you, your too cute to be scary." I blushed and glared at him, "hey, not cool." Edward chuckled and shook his head at me, then he reached over and started poking my sides again, I laughed and started squirming, and then I accidentally smushed the remainder of my ice cream in his face.

Edward gasped, "You are so going to pay for that Bella!" I backed up on my butt a little, "come on Edward, I told you not to tickle me! I am not scared of you though!" Edward chuckled darkly, "you shouldn't have said that Bella," and with that he pinned me to the grassy ground and started rubbing his ice cream covered face on my neck and shoulders. "Ahhh, stop it!" I squealed between laughs, "it's so cold!" Edward laughed, "that's what you get for smushing it in my face!" I rolled my eyes, "oh come on! That wasn't my fault at all! It was yours, you didn't have to tickle me… in fact I warned you not to!"

Edward shrugged, "meh, minor details," by this point he had stop wiping his face on me, but he still had me pinned to the ground. I snorted at his remark, "right, well now that thanks to you, we are both incredibly sticky." Edward laughed, "hey what's the fun in ice cream, if you don't get sticky at all?" The completely serious look on Edward's face when he said that just made me lose it, I started laughing and I couldn't stop for a good 5 minutes.

When I was finally able to calm down enough to stop laughing I saw that Edward was still sitting over me looking at me with a very amused expression on his face, "Are you good now?" I giggled and nodded, "sorry, but what you said with that completely serious expression on your face was just too funny. I couldn't help it."

Edward chuckled, and look at his watch. "Okay, it's two thirty and Alice said we all need to back at home at four, do you want to keep walking or go home?" I sighed, "How about we go home and relax for a bit, we can come back another day and look around some more"

Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me off the ground, "ok sounds good, come on, let's go."

Walking back to the beach house was more fun then anyone would think it would be. WIth Edward it was easy to be myself and be silly because he never judged me for it or looked at me like was a complete loser. In fact I think he is more ridiculous than I am, so not only did he not find me a complete weirdo but he also made me laughs with his antics. As we were walking we joked and pushed each other around without any thought I even jumped on his back and he just laughed and continued to walk with me hanging onto his shoulders and waist. People around us stared at us and gave us weird and dirty looks, normally that would be enough to make me turn red and stop me from behaving weirdly, but with Edward I couldn't care less about what other people thought.

As we got through the door we were laughing so hard, we didn't notice that there were other people in the room, until I opened my eyes to se Rose standing in the door frame of the kitchen looking at us smirking. It was then that I realized that I was still on Edwards back. I looked down at Edward to see that he was looking at me. He smiled at me, but put me down, not wanting to give Rosalie more of a reason to laugh at us.

"Hey Rose..." Her smirk grew, "Hey Bella... Edward, what are you guys up to?" Edward and I looked at each other, he then turned to Rose, "nothing really we were at the market and Bella accidentally got ice cream all over her so we decided to some back to clean up and relax."

I tried not to laugh when Edward told Rose that I "accidentally" got ice cream on myself, because I don't think it would help if she knew that he had pinned me to the ground and wiped his face -and mouth- all over my face, neck and chest.

Rose shook her head, "Uhuh… right, well Emmett and I are going to be up in our room so don't be too loud when you are 'relaxing'." I rolled my eyes, "I don't think you will have to worry about our noise, your's will block it no competition." Edward snickered at that, I looked up at that and saw that he was trying hard not to laugh, Rosalie scoffed and went up the stairs, once we heard a door shut, Edward and I burst into laughter again. "OH GOD! I was trying so hard to not laugh at the look on her face when you said that, she looked so shocked… they really don't know that they are making that much noise!" I shook my head, "It's ridiculous if they don't know that they are making that much noise…" Edward chuckled, "Well they are pretty preoccupied with other things," he winked at me. I blushed and giggled, "yea, I guess."

Edward and I walked up the stairs, cautiously… we didn't want to hear anything that might scar us. Unfortunately as we got to the top of the stairs, all we heard were the excessive moans and screams of Rosalie…. as well as Emmett. The minute I heard the moaning I knew my face was a red as a cherry, Edward looked down at me and chuckled. I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him, Edward snickered at that. He leaned down and whispered in my ear, "Okay, if we don't want to be scarred for life I think the best idea would be to hurry up and get down there and block them out as much as possible."

I laughed, "Okay, do you want the shower first or can I go?" Edward smiled, "you can go first this time Bella," I smiled, "thanks."

We both ran into our rooms hoping to get back down quickly. Not wanting to keep Edward waiting for the shower, I grabbed my towel and toiletry bag quickly and ran into the bathroom. I got into the shower and quickly rinsed of all the ice cream off my neck as well as my face, and washed my hair since I Edward managed to get ice cream in my hair. After I finished, I got out of the shower and wrapped my towel around me, then I went to the mirror, combed my hair and scrunched my hair with gel. As I was packing up my toiletries into my bag, I heard the door on Edward's side open. I turned around to see Edward standing there gaping at me.

I looked at him confused, then I realized that i was standing there in nothing but a towel.

I will try to get the next chapter out during the christmas break!

Reviews would be very much appreciated! :P
