After a while of sitting in silence, me swinging, Edward just looking at me, he looked into my eyes. I could see a million questions burring in his eyes; Edward is dying to ask something.
"Go ahead," I told him.
"What?" he looked confused
"I know you want to ask me something, or say something," I told him. His mouth formed the "O" shape.
"Yes I suppose I do have a question," Edward said slyly. I nodded my head.
"Why? I mean why do you want to stay with us?" Edward asked.
"A couple reasons really. I don't want to kill people anymore, I don't want to be with Will anymore, I don't want to leave..." I said looking away from his inhuman beauty.
"Don't want to leave what? Or who?" Edward asked. I could feel his stare burring a hole in my face.
"You." I said quietly. Edward got up from the tree he was leaning on; at first I thought he was going to leave. He didn't, he walked over to me and stopped the swing holding the ropes.
"Really?" Edward asked me leaning closer. I didn't trust my voice so I just nodded. Edward backed up a little bit.
"I don't want you to leave... or be with William" Edward mumbled. I smiled; he looked up and smiled at me too.
"Bella will you come with me? I want to show you something." Edward said. I smiled and nodded. Edward took my hand and we were running through the forest.
Edward is faster than me but he went at my pace still holding my hand and leading the way. We ran through the forest, the wind whipped my hair out behind me. We dodged trees easily and wove our way through the forest.
Edward slowed to a stop and I stopped too. He smiled and led me forward; I could see the sun shining through the trees on a spot ahead. I walked in front of him and Edward slowed down letting me lead the way.
I pulled Edward along, jogging to the opening in the trees; I stopped at the edge of a beautiful meadow. It was amazing I walked through the remaining trees to look around the meadow, as I walked out into the sun my skin sparkled as if a million diamonds were embedded in my skin. I looked around the meadow just taking it all in.
Suddenly I remembered Edward; he was standing a little bit behind me. The beauty of the meadow paled next to Edwards's beauty.
Edward passed by me and sat down in the middle of the meadow. He motioned for me to come over and sit down. I still have a hard time believing that this god is talking to me. I smiled and walked over to him and sat down next to Edward.
"Do you like it?" Edward asked me.
"Its amazing, I love it!" I breathed. Edward just smiled in response.
"No one else knows about it, I come here when I want to be alone or think," Edward said.
"But now I know about it too," I said confused now.
"I know, but I don't want to be away from you, and I can always think with you," Edward said, I smiled.
"I can see why you love it its amazing, your meadow is amazing" I said, still thinking about how he said he didn't want to be away from me.
"It's our meadow now Bella" Edward said simply, I beamed at how he said our. I realized how long we had been sitting there in the meadow. The sky had grown dark and we had stopped sparkling.
Edward looked absolutely gorgeous, sitting cross-legged on the soft grass. The moonlight hit his face, casting shadows under his eyes. I suddenly realized Edward is only about a foot away from me. I could reach out and touch him, just stroke his cheek. I sighed, Edward smiled.
"Why are you smiling?" I asked him
"Your very interesting, I hope you know," Edward said. I scrunched my eyebrows and tilted my head a little to the right.
"Um, thanks, I guess" I laughed a little Edward just smiled his breath taking crooked grin.
"It's a compliment, I swear. I haven't ever met another person like you" Edward said.
"Hey your pretty amazing yourself" I said quietly Edward smiled at me I smiled back.
"Bella you have a beautiful smile" Edward whispered I mumbled a thank you and looked away from his eyes embarrassed. I looked up to see him smiling at me, I smiled back. We sat there looking into each other's eyes for a long time.
"It's late Bella, we should probably be getting back," Edward said
"Yea you're right, your family might be getting worried," I told him.
Edward stood up and offered me his hand, which I took eagerly. I didn't let his hand go once I got up. I want to keep it and him forever.
