Thank you for reviewing. You cheer me up and motivate me to write. And thank you for your lovely comments.


Chapter seven.

"You're not like the usual girls I've seen around", Edward informed me. I grabbed my towel and stuffed it in my bag.

"Good."

"You're different somehow. You stand out."

"I know.

"It's not just your crazy personality", he mused, and "it's something else."

"What is it then?" I snapped. Swinging the bag over my back. Edward looked thoughtful.

"I'm not sure, really", he said. I stared up at him. He gave me a crooked grin and his eyes made me look away, blushing.

"You sure you didn't see anything?" I demanded, trying to be angry with him. It wasn't working.

"I swear, I was about to alert you of my presence but I didn't want to interrupt your phone conversation", he explained, "it's not gentlemanly, to interrupt."

"But it is to be a peeping tom?" I shot back at him. He threw his head back and laughed.

"I wasn't peeping, Bella", Edward said. My name on his lips made me melt.

Like somehow his voice made 'Bella' sound so much more worthy.

"Whatever", I said shaking my head of the traitorous fantasies I was dreaming up, "have you got the time?"

"No one has the time, it isn't to be captured", he answered.

I stared at him. Well, I gawped.

"You what, mate?"

"It's half past three in the afternoon", Edward said, clearly amused.

"Right… thanks", I said and began walking back home. I hoped Lauren didn't get worried or she would've called my dad. And…he would've called mum.

Then there'd be a case of de ja vue.

"Where are you going?" asked Edward trotting on his horse behind me.

"To the moon", I answered.

"Interesting, mind if I join you?"

"You don't have to ask", I shrugged, "if you wanna come, it's your choice."

"It is, I suppose but I doubt you'd enjoy thinking I was stalking you", he said back. I merely shrugged again.

"Want to ride, starlight?" asked Edward. I halted, then shook my head and carried on walking.

"I thought your father wouldn't let you out today", he conversed as we walked. He had jumped off starlight and pulled her along, falling in step beside me.

"He's working", I answered.

"Did he give you permission to come into Tifins forest?" asked Edward.

"I didn't exactly ask him", I explained, "but he didn't say I couldn't."

"I don't think he'd let you, even if you did ask him.'

"I don't care", I explained, "If I want to come, I'll come. I don't give a shit about his permission."

"Why not? Isn't he your father?"

"Yeah, he is. So what?" I snapped, "He isn't the king of England."

"Are you planning on staying at school tomorrow?" Edward asked. I was about to tell him to button up for a bit, I mean what was with the twenty questions?

But he suddenly stopped. Literally. He just froze.

I stopped as well and looked at him questioningly.

"What's wrong?" I asked. Edward glanced at his watch and sighed heavily.

"I need to go", he said mounting starlight once again, "there's this…thing I have to do. Goodbye, Bella."

"Oh, yeah. Bye", I said a little taken back. I expected him to walk with me and felt rather disappointed when he didn't.

"I'll see you at school, then?" I said hopefully. He shook his head. I stepped back as the great white horse turned to face the other direction.

"I won't be in tomorrow", explained Edward, "I've, er, got a doctor's appointment."

Frustration and discontent rushed through me.

I think Edward saw my face fall, he smiled.

"I'll be here tonight though", he added, "after twilight. And maybe tomorrow as well."

"Here? In the forest, yeah?" I asked eagerly. Edward smiled and nodded.

"Au Revoir, Bella", called out Edward, as he galloped away, through the trees and out of sight.

I stared after for a couple of minutes thinking of nothing in particular. My mind wondered about different topics all evolving around Edward. Somehow I looked forward to coming back here tonight. To see a certain person and a certain horse.
