I do not own Twilight
Chapter 6
BPOV
I woke up the next morning to an empty bed and immediately started to worry. Had I over stepped the mark yesterday? Had he changed his mind? But no sooner than I had finished the thought, did Edward appear in the doorway with a tray in his hand. I could smell the food and my stomach immediately started making its' presence known. He chuckled and placed the tray on my lap before sitting next to me.
'I just went to make you breakfast. Relax. Nothing has changed.' And with that he kissed me on the temple and wrapped an arm around my waist while I ate my eggs on toast.
A little while later, after I had finished breakfast and gotten ready, I went to meet Edward and the rest of the family downstairs. I walked into the living room to find Alice and Jasper, and Emmett and Rosalie on the sofas watching some daytime TV show I wasn't surprised as Alice had said it would be sunny today. I carried on walking to find Edward in the kitchen loading up the dishwasher.
'Aww aren't you a good little boy, helping your mummy out?' I teased. He immediately turned around, grinning, and wrapped his arms around my waist. He was so happy today; I liked it.
'Hey love, I was thinking, what do you say to: going somewhere today? Just us two? I know there are things you want to talk about and I figured we would have a bit more privacy that way.' I heard a squeal that nearly broke my ear drums and before I could answer Alice had screamed: 'She says YES! Come on Bella let's get ready, Rose come help!' all in the same breath and dragged me out of the kitchen. I didn't protest; Alice was easier to handle that way. She pulled, and curled, and primped and preened me until I was deemed worthy of going out of the house. She dressed me in a pair of cute crop jeans and a navy blue shirt with matching dolly shoes.
I met Edward by the front door, he was still smiling, and he led me out to the Volvo, opened the door and then closed it softly behind me.
As we sped off I asked: 'So where are we going?' The only response I got was yet another grin and him tapping his nose; how helpful. The drive didn't take long, but I was confused when he pulled up along a small lane, on the outskirts of the woods. Why did he drive here if we're just going to the woods? Edward just grinned and helped me out of the car.
'We're not there yet love,' my heartbeat picked up at the endearment and he grinned wider. 'We have to take a little hike to get there.' I wanted to ask where we were going but I knew he wouldn't tell me. We hiked for maybe an hour, I almost tripped a few times and if it weren't for Edward the ground would have been my new best friend.
The hour flew by quickly with Edward and I keeping up an easy conversation, and before long we came to a clearing. As we stepped out into the weak sunlight I couldn't help but gasp. We were in a meadow. It was beautiful and covered in flowers of every kind and colour I could think of.
'How did you find this place?' I asked Edward.
'I was hunting and just came across it while I was running. It's amazing isn't it?' He replied.
'Yeah it really is.' And then the sun finally broke through the clouds, and I was stunned into silence. Edward had mentioned that something happened to vampires in the sun but he had said he would show me rather than try to explain; and now I could see why. It was like a million diamonds were embedded into his skin and they glistened as the sunlight reflected off them. He sat on the ground beside me and I hesitantly reached up to stroke his cheek; he closed his eyes and leaned into my touch and I felt a tender smile cross my face. After a while he opened his eyes, and we both instinctively leaned forward. His lips touched mine and we kissed softly for a moment before pulling away and smiling like a couple of school kids.
We lay in the sun for a while, talking occasionally, before I had the courage to say what I wanted to.
'Edward… I'm not trying to ruin the moment here or anything but… where does all this leave us? I mean… what are we?' I was blushing as a stumbled my way through my question and I couldn't look at his as I waited for an answer. He gently turned my face to his, eyes soft and tender, and said: 'It leaves us where you want to be sweetheart. I don't want to rush you into a relationship you aren't ready for, I will wait until you're ready if that's what you want.'
'No I am ready, I do want this. I just… wanted to make sur you did to I guess…' I was still blushing. I didn't think it was going to go away any time soon either.
'Of course I want this love, I have for a while actually, I just didn't want to rush you.' He was such a sweetheart. He puts on this 'I'm a big scary vampire' front but he was really just a big softie. And he was a romantic a heart. I was a sucker for romance.
We stayed in the meadow until the sun was starting to set and my stomach started to rumble. I didn't want to leave, but Edward said we would come back soon.
'Come on love. It's time to face the others.' Oh no. Alice.
Awwwwwww I think this was my favourite chapter to write so far, it was so mushy and I love it xD I am a huge sucker for romance, but I'm going to try to keep this story real and not get sucked into my daydreaming too much haha So what did you think? Poor Bella has to face Alice now! How excited will she be? And how will the others react?
Review and let me know what you thought!
