In the morning I woke to find light streaming into my eyes and Edward smiling at me from the edge of my bed. I rolled over and put a pillow over my head, mumbling about the darned sunlight.
Edward pulled the pillow away from my head, I rolled over to glare at him, but instead sunlight attacked my eyes. "Ah! The light! It burns!" I called out, squinting my eyes. Edward was laughing at me so I squint-glared at him. By the time he stopped laughing my eye's had adjusted to the morning light.
"Did you know you talk in your sleep?" Edward causally asked. My eyes widened until they were roughly the size of saucers, possibly bigger.
"Oh. My. God. What did I say? Was it horrible? Oh, god!" I was completely freaking out about the news Edward had just given me. I had hopped that I wouldn't talk while he was here, but I can't really say that I'm surprised. I covered my face with my hands, waiting to hear what I said.
"Oh, nothing too bad," I let out the breath I was unconsciously holding, "just my name a couple twenty time..."
I let out a low moan when I hear that and went to seek refuge underneath my blankets. " I can't believe I did that! I just might die of embarrassment!" I cried out from underneath my protective shelter.
"Oh, Bella. It's not that bad. Most of the time you were talking about how it's too green for you here. You only said my name once - and it was followed by a stream of bad names," Edward said.
"You promise?" I asked while sticking my head, and lions mane, out from under the cover so I could see Edward.
"I promise," Edward said sincearly.
"Alright. What the heck is the time?" I asked myself as I s tarted to get out of my bed.
"11:00, Charlie left two hours ago," Edward told me. He was better than my clock.
"Good to know, now, I'm hungry so let's go get the human some breakfast!" I said as I started marching down the stairs and into the kitchen. Edward followed me.
I started to crack my knuckles and do a couple of streatches, "Now, Edward, this is a very special day for you, "I told him seriously, he raised his eye brow, "You get to watch me hunt. Pay close attention because you won't get to see this again any time soon." I turned around and started 'stealthily' moving around the kitchen while I prepared my ceral.
Edward started laughing when I growled at my cereal box. Hey, I was pretending to hunt, okay? Once I had my cereal all ready to eat I set id down at the table and triumphantly took a large bite.
"And that is how i, the master, hunt," I said through bites of my loud - and crunchy - cereal. It was captain crunch, my all time favorie. Edward was still trying to recover from my little display on 'how humans hunt'. I guess I'm a good actor.
"That that cereal worth all the hard work?" Edward asked me.
"Or course it was! It was Captain Crunch! The most elusive - and dangerous - cereal you can possibly hunt! Why shouldn't I think it was worth all the hard work I did? Shesh!" I said while rolling my eyes and grinning from ear to ear. Edward shook his head.
"Bella, go change into some comfortable cloths. I want to take you somewhere special today."
"Alright, I'll just clean up my breakfast first," I said, moving to to clean it up.
"Don't worry, I'll get it for you," Edward said, shooing me off to change.
When I got to my room I decided to go with jeans and a random clean T-shirt. After changing, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair. iu threw my hair up into a loose high ponytail before I headed back downstairs to Edward.
"I'm ready!" I told him happily.
"Well come on then, lets go,'Edward said whil leading me out the door.
Edward had my car keys and unlocked the divers side door. He moved to get in but I stopped him.
"It's my car, I drive. Plus, I know how the old geezer works: I told Edward. There was no way I was going to let him dive my truck.
"Alright, just follow my instructions, okay?" Edward said to me.
"That sounds just fine to me!" I said smiling, as I climbed into my wonderful truck. I started up the car and it came roaring to life. Edward jumped about a foot in the air, I guess he wasn't expecting my baby to have such a loud voice. God, I loved my truck. Oh, and it didn't look at me funny, unlike Edwards volvo.
I pulled out of my driveway and began following all of Edwards directions, which only consisted of a couple of turns.
"Can't your truck go any faster?" Edward complained a couple of minutes into the car ride.
"Be nice, this truck is old enough to ve your Volvo's grandpa. HAve a little respect for the elderly," I told him.
"Five minutes later I made the last turn onto a dirt road which led to some parking spaces before a hiking tail. I turned to look at Edward, "You serioiusly want me to hike? Are you sure you're right in the head?"
"Yes, I seriously want you to hike, and yes I am sure I'm right in the head," Edward replied while he went to open my door.
"Well, you better hope I don't kill myself by accidentlally tripping of a log," I told him.
"If you trip, I'll catch you before you touch the ground," Edward promised me.
"You had better keep that promise or else. I can promise you you'll recret it, deeply," I told him, eyeing him suspisously.
"Come one, lets go, the sooner we get there, the longer we get to spend there together, okay?" Edward said to me. I nodded and followed him into the woods. I was upset that we weren't using the trail, but I got over it quickly, because all my energy was concentrated on keeping myself from falling and injuring myself. It would not be a good idea to get hurt - bleeding at least - alone in the woods with a vampire.
We had been walking for what seemed like hours when Edward spoke, "Ah! We're getting close! It's starting to get lighter around here!" He said excitedly. I was just glad that my hiking trek was almost over and I would be able to sit on the ground for awhile.
A couple minutes later I could see sunlight starting to peek through the trees. Soon I would be able to sit on my bottom for a good couple of hours.
When I broke into a medow my breath was taken away, it was gorugous. The medow was a percect circle, I could hear a strm near by. Above was a clear blue sky, no a cloud was in sight.
When I turned around to look at Edward he was still in the woods, "What are you waiting for? You know I'm not going to freak out," I told him.
Edward took a deep breath and stepped into the sunlight.
When I saw Edward in the sun I swear I stopped breathing. His skin shown brillaintly in the afternoon sunlight. My mouth hung open in shock, he was just too darn gorgeous for me.
Edward took my silence as a bad thing, the exact opposite of what it really was, "I'm sorry, I should have never brought you here. We'll just turn around and go back right now." I shook my head forcefully and started moving closer to him. I put my hands on either side of his beautiful face, took a deep breath to calm myself and spoke.
"You are way to beautiful for your own good, Edward. You beauty had me captivated and speechless. We are not leaving until I have look at you for only one hundredth as much time as I want to. Do I make myself perfectly clear?" I spoke in a slow patronizing tone.
Edward cracked a smile, "Of course. We'll stay here as long as you want to stay here. After all, you are the one calling the shots right now." I smiled at Edward and went to sit down. I let my eyes roam over Edwards body slowly, drinking everything in. he just had to be so dang beautiful, didn't he? I couldn't even think strait with him standing there, sparkling in the warm sunlight.
Edward came and sat down next to me, he closed his eyes and lay down on his back he sparkled even more. I couldn't help myself, I just had to touch hij.
I started running my fingers across the back of his hand, I flipped hi hand over and started trailing my gingers across his palm, tracing the lines. I glanced up to see his golden eyes looking at me intensely. I pulled my hand away, afraid that I had been bothering him.
"Don't stop. You have no idea how amazing that feels, Edward said to me. I took his hand back in mine and started tracing it again when he flipped over, his hand not moving one bit. I didn't even flinch.
Edward sighed and closed his eyes, "Don't move," I told Edward and I moved my hand to his face. I tenderly traced the oultle of his face, I was sure to appreciate the way his whole face sparkled. I was pretty much in a trance as I moved ito ttrace his features.
I slowly dragged my fingertips across his closed eye lids,. I gently traced around his nose, and I tenderly followed the outline of his lips. I heard him sight as I brought my hand down the side of his neck and moved it slowly down to his hand again. "Okay, you can move again," I told him. He slowly opened his eyes. They were smoldering.
"Now it's my turn, don't move a tall," he instructed me. I froze wher I was, anticipating the feel of his cold skin oveing over my warm flesh.
I watched Edward pick up my hand and trace the lines on my palm. I closed my eyes as his hands slowly traveled up my arms. and lifted to gingerly touch my face. He treated my as if I was a china doll as he moved his hands across my face. I had to concentrate on breathing so I wouldn't accidentally suffocate myself. He then placed his hand gently on my shoulders and put his ear right about where my hear twas. I knew he had closed his eyes.
I don't know how long we stayed that way, but it was heaven on Earth. When he finally pulled away from me, I opened my eyes to see Edward smiling at me.
"Here," he said placing my hand on the side of his face, "I'm warmer now." He indeed had increases a couple of degrees temperature wise.
"Edward, can I aske you someting? I aske him.
"Of course you can," he told me.
"Well, remember the first day in biology?" I asked, h stiffened telling me that he indeed remembered that day, "Well, I was wondering why you seemed to hate me so much."
"Oh, well. When I saw you that first day at lunch I was really intrigued as to why I couldn't here your thoughts. I had hoped to find out why in the next class but when I caught a whiff of you...," Edward paused to inhale deeply, "I wanted you, badly. You smelled better than any human I had ever smelt. I barely made it through class, I wanted to drink you dry right then. When I came back, I thought I could talk to you like a normal person, but again your smell overwhelmed me, but I managed to stay in control much more easily than the time before. To be honest I hadn't made up my mind if it was worth staying in contact with you until today."
"Oh?" I said, "And what was your decision?"
"That I'm never going to leave you, ever."
