Chapter 22

Today was Wednesday, and even though all of us had planned to attend school, it was the sunniest of all days Forks had seen in a long time, forcing us to remain inside.

Though, in the end, we didn't mind it. We were actually excited to not have to go to school, but even if I didn't need to go to school, I was sitting in the dining room, reading books from Carlisle's office, to catch me up on what the curriculum is now.

Reading the math book, filled with algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and more. Thankfully for vampires, we have a memory that lasts forever.

After having spent many hours, since midnight yesterday until now, at noon, having read through all of the books.

I felt like I knew I would succeed in school, not having to struggle at all. Even though I went to school when I was young, I knew I had to relearn the system, because I knew it was completely different.

Nodding to myself, I ran the books up to Carlisle's office, when I also went into my room. While there, I grabbed a bag, placing a comforter and my laptop in it, carrying it to the living room, placing it next the couch that I sat on.

All round the living room, Emmett and Rosalie were on one loveseat while Alice and Jasper were on another.

Over by the window, Carlisle and Esme were playing another round of chess, Esme insisting she would be able to beat him this time.

Edward sat on the piano, playing Mozart Sonata's number 11. It was such a beautiful melody.

He turned his head, looking at me.

I smiled and winked at him, turning to look at the television while Emmett and Jasper played Halo three. Looking at the screen, I heard the piano music slowly end off, trying not to look over as Edward got closer. I couldn't help the smile on my face as he moved, sitting on the floor, moving my legs so they draped over him.

He smiled as he rubbed my shins with his hands, leaning his head back.

Looking at him, I moved my hands into his hair, gently massaging his scalp.

As I rubbed his head, Edward let out a vampires purr, closing his eyes.

I smiled and leaned down, pressing my lips to his forehead.

Edward winked at me again, resting his head back as he lightly purred, still rubbing his own hands on my lower legs.

Out of my peripheral vision, I could see Emmett watching us, but I never turned to meet his gaze. I could feel Emmett starting to accept it, even if it was still hard. I mean, I suppose I understood. He knew of everything I went through and of course it would make him overprotective of me to ensure I never got hurt again. I knew had the situation been reversed, I would be somewhat the same way behavior wise.

I could feel Esme's happiness radiating off of her, as well as Alice's, but I knew she was just full of pride because she convinced me to go for it.

Edward then stood up and picked me up, sitting on the chair and placing me between his legs on the chair with him. Quickly, he wrapped his arms around my waist, rubbing his thumbs gently on my stomach.

Emmett let out a deep annoyed breath as Rosalie playfully slapped his arm.

Looking behind me at Edward, I smiled. "Hey, Edward. Let's go to our spot?"

Alice winked at me.

Alice winked at me.

Edward smirked. "Sure."

Nodding, I stood up, stretching before walking to the side of the chair, there my backpack sat.

On the way out I grabbed my backpack, filled with a comforter and a laptop. Reason for the laptop, Edward wanted to know everything about my past, so figure I just show him than tell.

Emmett looked at me. His expression confused.

"What is it Emmy?" I asked.

"What exactly is this special spot?"

I giggled, winked, and put a finger to my lips. "It's top secret."

Emmett groaned and nodded, going back to gaming with Jasper.

Jasper chuckled as Emmett turned his attention back to the screen, "Alright Emmett! Get your head in the game! If you don't I'll beat you!"

As we ran out, I heard Carlisle excite emmett by asking if he could learn and join in the game with his sons.

"You want to learn Carlisle?"

Esme asked curiously.

"Of course, could give me something to enjoy with our sons."

I giggled as we ran, quickly getting further and further from the house.

It took us a while to get to our meadow, today all of the flowers dancing gracefully in the glorious breeze. It felt more like paradise than just a small beautiful flower field.

Edward slipped his hand onto mine, intertwining our fingers together as I looked around, choosing a place to get us up. I blushed.

"What's in bag?" Edward asked.

I turned to him, setting the bag down, pulling out my laptop, placing it in his arms, as well as the comforter, laying it out on the grass, patting the spot next to me.

He looked at me, confused, but sat down, setting the computer down on the portable tray that I had also put in the bag.

"I'm going to show you my life, and if you would like, I can hold your hand and display any memories you may want me to know?

Edward eyes glowed. "Yes, this does seem like a perfect date."

Looking at him, I bit my lip. "So, what all do you wish to see?"

Edward looked at me. "I want to know all, the good, the bad, everything. And in return I shall show you the same."

Nodding, I gestured my hand to the laptop, starting at my very first human memory, when the spanish influenza pandemic had just ended.
