Chapter 10: Talking with Edward

Recap

"Bella would you object to going somewhere with me for a while?" I asked before thinking. She opened her mouth to say……………

Bella's POV
Oh my God Edward wanted to spend time with me? Alice was right. No she wasn't he just wanted to bond, but hey you know I wanted to spend as much time as possible with Edward.

"I'd really like that." I told him blushing and he smiled.

"Let's go." He said grabbing car keys, and towing me to the garage. That thing was huge! There were all sorts of cars. Alice's Porsche, Edward's Volvo, a jeep which I figured was Emmett's, a BMW which I think is Rose's, and a Mercedes, probably belonging to Carlisle. Edward towed me over to his Volvo, and opened the passenger's door for me, before getting in the driver's side. I fumbled with my seatbelt since I was in a hurry, but Edward leaned over and helped me, so we could leave. He took his time driving out of the garage, and drove about 50mph.

"You don't have to drive slow for my benefit." I told him quietly. He arched one of his perfect eyebrows.

"What if I want to drive slowly?" he asked me.

"I know you all like to drive fast. Alice told me. And she drove fast anyway." I said.

"I want to drive slowly. It gives me more time to talk to you." He said smiling. I blushed.

"Well what did you want to talk about?" I asked him, trying to think of something interesting in my pathetic life.

"I want to know what you like, what you don't, just basic stuff about you, and you can ask me stuff as well." He told me.

"Um okay you ask first." I said

"What's your favorite color?" he asked me

"It changes every day, but today my favorite color is green." I told him. He was fascinated. "How did you become a vampire?" I asked him daringly. He frowned.

"Didn't Alice tell you?" he asked.

"It wasn't her story to tell. It's yours and I'd rather hear it from you than from someone behind your back. If you don't want me to know, you don't have to tell me." I said. He was shocked.

"You're very different. Well it started when I was born in 1901 in Chicago. My parents were Elizabeth and Edward Masen. My mother had bronze hair, and green eyes like mine—as Carlisle told me. In 1918, the Spanish Influenza hit the city, and my family and I were hit with it. I was in the hospital dying when Carlisle found me. He turned me after my parents were dead." He told me. I smiled. "What are you happy about?" he asked.

"The fact you told me. Now we know each other's past." I said. He smiled to.

"Even if they are horrible." He said. The whole car ride, we went back and forth with questions. I learned he likes to eat mountain lion, he plays piano, his favorite class is science, and he has graduated medical school twice. He learned my favorite food is mushroom ravioli, I love Phantom of the Opera, Debussy is my favorite classical artist, the fact I knew he was a mind reader, and my favorite flower is freesias. The drive had seemed to have taken 4 hours, but in reality it only took us 20 minutes, even without him driving fast. We pulled up to the end of the pavement and we got out. "Are we going on a trail?" I asked him

"No I'm taking you to a place where I clear my head when I need to." He told me smiling.

"Okay but you'll have to be patient, I fall a lot." He laughed a musical sound that was very enchanting. I committed the sound to memory. He grabbed my hand and smiled.

"Your hand is amazingly warm." He told me. The hike wasn't that bad. Edward caught me every time I was about to fall and the effort was worth it. We got to a place that was so beautiful. It was a small meadow with many flowers. It was so beautiful. The sun was actually shining, seeming to absorb my jubilant mood. I ran around a little enjoying the sun, but I saw Edward in the shade of a tree. I stopped and beckoned to him to join me.

"I don't want to scare you." He yelled to me.

"You won't scare me." I told him "I know vampires sparkle in the sun." he sighed and stepped out. He was so beautiful, his whole body looking like a diamond, and a smile on his face as bright as the sun over us. I ran toward him and plopped on the ground at his feet. He sat down as well. We stared into each other's eyes for a little while before he stood up quickly and walked away. I followed him and asked "Edward what's wrong?"

Edward POV

She looked so happy in the meadow that I brought her to. We sat across each other for a little trying to read each other's thoughts. Her heartbeat was a bit irregular here and there, but on the outside she was calm and collected. I wanted to tell her I loved her, even though it's been two days, but Alice has shown me all the happiness we share with each other. I sighed mentally getting up, and walking over to the flowers. I wanted to get her a freesia. "Edward, what's wrong?" she asked me following. I was scared. I didn't want to tell her that I loved her, but I wanted her so bad now. I looked at her delicate pink lips, and wanted to just grab her and kiss her. I sighed and picked out a perfect freesia. I walked over to her, and tucked it behind her ear. She smiled softly.

"Thanks Edward. It's beautiful." She told me.

"Like you." I whispered so low she couldn't' hear me.

"What?" she asked. Damn she heard me say something. I sighed. "Bella………." I trailed off

"Yes Edward?" she asked me innocently

"Let's sit" I suggested to her. We sat on the grass near the flowers.

"Edward you brought me here to tell me something, what is it?" she asked me.

"Bella……….I think that I may……….well I don't know you much…………….but Alice………..saw us…………together……………and well………..I think that…………." I couldn't spit it out.

"Alice saw us together, and you think you could already love me?" she asked incredulous. I shouldn't have told her.

"Well……yeah, but I see you don't love me back so…." I sighed. Why did I ruin this?

"Oh no Edward it's not that, it's just you could do so much better than broken old me. I mean look at me I'm plain and you're a god. You don't need me." She said. All I paid attention to was the fact she loved me to. I leaned in closer, looking at her big brown eyes, wide with love.

"I feel like I've never felt before about anyone." I told her quietly. "I feel protective of you as well, I feel like if I don't I'll lose you." I murmured

"You'll never lose me." She told me.

"I could. You're human, I'm a vampire. My instincts could kick in or you could get hurt. Bella you don't understand how fragile you really are. My family and I could kill you just my hugging you to hard." I told her. I was something I rarely was—frightened. I was seeing her still cold, never blushing, or playing piano for us again. She put a hand on my face.

"I would tell you something, but you know you could do this and you never would, so I won't say it." She said cryptically. What did she—oh she means turning into a vampire. Why would she want that? I don't want to know.

"I love you Bella Swan." I told her. She smiled

"I love hearing you say that." she said. "Is there something I can do to make it easier for you, so your instincts don't kick in?" she asked.

"Yes there is." I told her. I leaned towards her, my hands resting lightly on her shoulders. She sighed in contentment, and I think she was thinking I was going to kiss her. "That's later. I skimmed my nose on her neck, and made my way down to where her heart was and listened. It was a wonderful sound, and she sat perfectly still. We sat there for at least a half hour, and when I pulled away I was filled with peacefulness. "It won't be hard again."I told her.

"Why?" she asked me shallowly trying to get her breath back.

"I'm attuned to your heart, so now I know not to go for your blood." I told her. She smiled.

"What do I smell like?" she asked.

"Like freesias and strawberries." I told her. She laughed.

"We need to go." I told her. She frowned.

"Oh but we're having so much fun!" she exclaimed. I laughed freely.

"The family is anxious to see how it played out." I told her. Ah I got an idea. My eyes glowing, I turned to her. "Want to see how I travel through the woods?" I asked not hiding the building excitement. She looked at me and blinked twice. She was dazzled.

"Sure" she said. I grabbed her wrist and threw her across my back. She grabbed me in a chokehold.

"You don't have to breathe do you?" she asked.

"No we can hold our breath." I told her.

"Just checking." She said, and I took off running. I thought about how I wanted to kiss her afterwards. We got back to the edge of the forest in a few seconds. "You can get off Bella." I told her. She didn't move.

"I need help." She said embarrassed. I reached back and undid the chokehold on my neck, and pulled her around to face me. I smiled at her, and sat her on a log. She held her head between her legs for a few minutes then looked up. "I should have closed my eyes." She told me dizzily.

"Remember for next time." I said. She groaned. "What we're you thinking while you were running? You looked deep in thought." She said. Wow she doesn't miss much.

"I was thinking I wanted to do something." I told her.

"What?" she asked. And then I leaned In and kissed her

Alice POV
"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HE DID IT! THEY"RE TOGETHER!" I yelled. Edward and Bella got together. Now he's not alone. Hopefully he'll change her into one of us. "I'm so happy." Rose said. wow Rose of all people was happy for them. "YES EDDIE GOT A GIRL EDDIE GOT A GIRL!" Emmett yelled, as Rose smacked his head. "I'm so happy for them" Esme said. "I knew he was missing something, now he's found it." She added. I watched as Edward kissed Bella, and sighed happily.

Bella POV

I was shocked when he kissed me. It was like hot meeting cold, and I went a little too much into the kiss. I pressed myself up to his stone chest, my curves fitting against him perfectly. He turned stone cold after a few seconds.

"Sorry" I whispered embarrassed.

"It's okay" Edward whispered quietly. "You just surprised me." He said smiling.

"Sorry." I said again. He laughed.

"Let's go. The family probably wants us home. The want to celebrate us getting together." He told me. I laughed. He grabbed me around the waist, and led me to the Volvo, and right there, I vowed to leave my past behind, and not let it get in the way of our relationship, no matter how short. Eventually he'll find someone better, and I'll be alone, but for now I'm just happy.
