Sanctuary

BPOV

Our lips were dancing together while the whole world was spinning around us. Nothing else existed beside his touch. Our lips separated leaving room for air, our foreheads were still leaning on each other, our eyes were still connected… He gently brushes my cheek:

"You are my whole world, Bella. I lo…" Suddenly he starts shaking me! What the hell?

"Honey, please wake up!" The voice sounded somehow familiar… "Honey…" Yeah, it was Renee.

The world hates me! Why couldn't she come 5 seconds later? How long does it takes to say 'love you'! "What happened?" I growl. Even just two more seconds it would be enough!

"Edward is waiting for you down stairs."

This is better be important! Just two seconds! How hard could that… wait… "What?"

"Edward is here." said Renee relaxed like she was just letting me know it's raining or something, while I was struggling to get my mind functional again. Damn! I forgot to set my alarm! Correction: the whole universe hates me!

I jumped of bed like a storm and run to the bathroom. Not before I hit my pinkie to the chair lying down the floor, of course. I don't even remember how I did it. All I know is that I skipped make-up (not that it was something new for me, whatever), I let my hair in his natural state, half dried (It was sunny anyway). I will have to thank Al for the rest of my life for my ready-to-go outfit. I think I'd have gone nuts if I'd have to make any choice right now. I take a last look in the mirror and I run downstairs. And there he was, looking better then ever, chatting with Renee. Thank god Charlie was working at this hour! The last thing my pour neurons needed was Charlie explaining 'The Rules' to Edward. I know that fathers should be protective, but there should be a rule against parents' interfering after a certain age, 14 would be great.

"Hey, sorry for keeping you waiting." I said trying to calm my nerves.

"It's ok. I should have picked another hour…"

"No! It is perfect like this just that I forgot to set my alarm." I tried to explain when I saw he's feeling guilty for waking me up, while my face was starting to get a small shade of red.

"Well, honey, I think you've just smashed down the world record for getting ready to go!" said Renee, half proud, half amused.

Right now, I hate her! Judging his face he didn't noticed till now, and I may have got rid with it! My face could stop cares now! Great, exactly what I needed. Once again, it seems that all the other dimensions hate me!

"Excuse us for a second, Edward. I need her help with some things before she leaves me." said Renee smiling. Ok, I don't hate her anymore. I'm rather grateful, actually. I smile at him and fallow her to the kitchen.

EPOV

When they left to the kitchen, all my emotions overwhelm me. She really broke down the world record and that made me feel great! But I shouldn't jump in to conclusions. Maybe she was just feeling bad for keeping me waiting and not being ready. She seemed to be the kind who sticks to her schedule. But then she wouldn't have a reason to blush like that…

"I'm ready now!" she said standing next to me. When did she get here?

"Let's go then!" I said fighting a huge smile.

And so, we left towards my favorite place in the whole world. I'm pretty nervous about this… I've never brought anyone there. I just hope she'll like it.

The drive was interesting. She told me about her latest 'obsession': Osho. I heard about the guy, but I have to admit I didn't get to read anything he wrote yet. I'm not that much into self-exploration books, but, like she said, he's way more then that. And from what I heard now, I'm definitely going to read it soon. Lost in discussion about human prejudices and stupidity, we haven't even realized when we got there. We got out of the car and when I told her we still have a 20 minutes hiking she looked at me with an innocent smile and said "You're lucky you're so cute because, otherwise, you'd probably be walking the way back home." I have to admit, that worried me a little, but the look in her eyes, told me she's not that disappointed. After half of the way was done, I was convince there wasn't any chance I could end up walking on the way home and that made me feel grate! She almost falls a few times, but that was a great excuse for me to not take my hands of her so, I enjoyed it as much as I could, and her hart beat told me she did the same.

Her reaction when she saw the meadow was more then I could ever imagine: from the point where I was barely dragging her with me, she run into the sunlight and looked amazed around her. I knew the feeling. I was watching something fascinated to, though it wasn't the meadow. We were both absorbed by the view for almost half hour.

"Wow! This is…" she said still looking around, incapable to decide. On the other hand seeing her here, in the place I love the most, I knew exactly what this is: "Heaven!" I said completing her sentence. Her warm eye lean on me and a bright smile covered her face while she ran into my arms. Our lips touched and somehow, we ended up on the ground.

After we got back to our senses, we got up and set 'the camp'. Beside the fact she almost killed me with a bottle and then I chased her trough all the meadow, things went peaceful. In the end, she was lying down on my chest, looking me into the eye. I could stay like this forever and ever…

"Where did you find this place?" she asks while I was running my fingers trough her hair.

"Here" I answered laughing.

"You know what I mean!" she said rolling her eyes.

"Well…" But then a storm of laughter cuts me off. "What?" I asked confused.

"Sorry, I think the lack of sleep is getting to me." she said trying to calm down. I guess I still looked a little confused because she continued: "This morning I told Alice to 'sleep well' when she left to the hospital."

"Good one!" I said laughing.

"I'm not thinking very straight lately, though I'm not sure about the cause yet." she said looking preoccupied.

"And which could be the causes?"

"Well, beside sleep depravation, you seem to be the most possible cause." she said blushing. "Let's get back to this place! How did you find it?" she added before I got the time to at least think about what I've just heard. Regardless, I took my time and enjoyed the information.

"I always loved nature, and a few years ago, I use to run away from the real world a lot. You know, hiking, camping and so on. One day I found this place and I've fallen for it definitively. It became my refuge." It was more like a sanctuary…

"Your refuge from what?" she asked careful.

And I wished so much I could just answer, just open my mouth and say the words. I sigh. "World, people judgments, life and… " I paused. I will tell her! I just have to find the right words… but then, a soft, warm hand brushed my cheek. I raised my eyes and she was smiling in understanding.

"You don't have to tell me anything."

I looked at her puzzled for a second but then I start kissing her more intense then I ever did before. I loved her for being the way she is: loving and understanding; I loved her for being with me without asking questions; I loved her for allowing me to feel loved.

We were still kissing, completely lost into each other, when her phone rings. She growls, but she answers. While on the phone, her face turned pale. When she put the phone down, she covers her face with her hands. She scares me like hell. What could have happened?

"Is there something wrong?" I asked kicking myself mentally after: of course it's something wrong, you idiot! Fortunately, she was a lady about it:

"I have to go. I'm sorry…" she said, looking lost, somewhere in the horizon.

Thank you for reading this, for all your reviews, adds to favorites, alerts and so on. I love you, guys! Sorry for the late update but I was gone for a while. Anyway, the next one is half done, so it will be here soon. :)


I have a new story: World War III

Edward is the ultimate bad guy. But what happens when, in the summer camp he attends, a girl shows up who's even worse then him? Will the sparks between them burn down the camp? PS:The two of them have something in common: their biggest fear is love.

You can find it on my profile if you want to take a look at it. I'd really like to hear your opinion. :) I will still focus on Worthless more. ;)


PS: The previous chapter was already edited by spiralAngel when I upload it, but considering I'm such an absent-minded, I forgot to mention it. I'm such a jerk! :((
