I woke up the next morning cold, but comfortable, and there was a wonderful smell in my face. What is that? I sat up and saw that my face was buried in Edward's chest. My arm was across his waist and one of his arms was holding me close to him. It was weird lying like this when I hadn't woken up like this in years. I looked up at him and he smiled.
"Did you sleep okay?" he asked.
I smiled back at him and nodded before putting head back on his chest. We were both quiet for a couple minutes and he ran his hand through my hair. "What are you thinking about?" he whispered.
"Really wanna know?" I asked quietly. I felt him nod. "… I was thinking about how much I missed this," I whispered.
I felt his arm tighten around my waist. "Me too," he whispered, and I swear I felt him kiss my hair.
I pulled away from him and climbed out of bed. "Where you going?" he asked.
"I need to get dressed," I said.
"Does your sunburn still hurt?" he asked.
I hadn't even thought about it. I looked down at my arms and there was nothing there. "It's gone," I said, "I guess it goes away fast because I'm a…. you know…" I didn't even want to say it, I was too ashamed.
"I want to take you somewhere," he said.
I looked at him. "Where?" I asked.
He smiled, "You'll see," he said, "Go get dressed."
…..
After I was dressed Edward led me outback. "Put this on," he said, handing me a blindfold. I gave him a wary look. "Trust me," he said softly. I knew I really shouldn't trust him, but for some reason I did. I slowly tied the blindfold around my eyes. "I'm going to carry you somewhere," he said as he gently picked me up off the ground. "Hold on tight."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face in his chest. I felt the wind going by really fast as he ran through the woods. Where's he taking me?
About five minutes later I felt Edward stop running and gently put me down. Then I felt his hands take the blindfold off my eyes and when it fell off my eyes I saw our meadow. I smiled a little as I looked around and remembered all the times he used to take me here.
"I know that sometimes your human memories get erased when you change into a Vampire Hunter," he said, "So I know you might not remember this but-"
I cut him off and turned to look at him. "I remember," I said.
"You do?" he said, kind of surprised.
I nodded and started walking around the meadow, "I actually used to come here a lot after you left," I said.
"Why?"
I shrugged, "I felt that being here made me… closer to you." I saw a look of pain cross his face. "Look at this," I said. I led him over to a tree that I had carved "I love you" into while I was here.
Edward stared at the tree for a minute before turning to me. "I figured out our to prove it to you," he said.
I stared at him for a minute. "Really?" I asked.
He nodded. "You can use peoples powers against them right?" he asked. I nodded slowly, confused to what this had to do with anything. "Take my power," he said.
"Edward…" I said, "I haven't done it in a really long time… I don't know if I'll be able to."
"Try," he said.
I nodded and tried to channel his power, remembering everything I've learned. Once I felt his power in me I tried to use it. "Please let this work…" I heard in Edward's thoughts.
I smiled. "It works," I said, "Not sure how long I can keep it going though."
"Okay," he said, "Just focus on my thoughts for as long as you can then." I nodded and he looked into my eyes and I saw all of his thought, not only did I see his thoughts, I felt them too. I saw when he first saw me in class. I saw when he showed me this meadow for the first time. I saw the first time he said he loved me. I saw him watching me sleep at night. I saw when he watched me in the hospital after the James attack. And with all these memories I felt pure love. I felt all the love he had for me and I was surprised. I honestly didn't know he felt this strong for me.
I threw my arms around Edward's neck, losing the hold I had on his power. "I love you," I said softly.
"God, Bella," he said, "I love you too. I love you so fucking much."
