Bella was eating the food Alice brought us. She put a piece of tomato in her mouth and chewed on it, while a little bit of juice ran from the corner of her lips to her chin. She didn't mind it and ate another piece of tomato. I always knew she loved that vegetable and asked Alice to prepare a bunch of them.

I looked at the plate of strawberries right in front of me. I wanted to feed Bella, as pathetic as it might sound. I took one of the most beautiful red fruit from the bowl and crawled to Bella when she just finished eating her last tomato.

"A little dessert." I said to her before she opened her mouth and bit on my strawberry. She also took one herself and tear the green end off. She put the fruit between her lips and came to me as to ask me to eat the other end. I bit in it, the sweet juice running into my mouth. Our lips touched. I never knew eating strawberries could be this sexy.

I stared at her while she was chewing on the strawberry in her mouth. She was so beautiful and perfect, everything about her was flawless. Not a lot of words had been spoken but a lot of glances and touches. I could see in her eyes she was feeling happy and forgetting all the troubles. It was also my case, I almost forgot I was being stalked by my ex girlfriend and I had an incurable disease. All I enjoyed was my girlfriend, the only person on earth I loved.

"Come here." I said to Bella. I took her hand and pulled her to me, making her sit between my legs and put her head on my chest as I wrapped my arms around her. I could feel her slow breathing.

"Look, an elephant." She said. I followed her finger that was indicating the sky full of white clouds. I looked at the cloud Bella was pointing at but couldn't see an elephant.

"I can't see it." I admitted.

"No? Oh c'mon Edward! Use your imagination! There is its tail." She followed the cloud with her finger. "And its ear here." I followed her finger, more looking at her face that was glowing as a child than the cloud she was pointing at.

"Oh yeah, I can see it now." I lied. A small breeze passed through Bella's hair. They moved and itched my nose. The smell of her raspberry shampoo entered my nose.

"And look at that cloud! Looks like a bird, don't you think?" She was pointing at another cloud, close to the elephant cloud.

"Looks more like a bee to me." I said to tease her, which was working fine.

"Where do you see a bee?" She said a bit irritated. She never liked it when people contradicted her. Her reaction made me giggle. Her irritated look faded away as soon as she saw my teasing look, showing me her prettiest smile.

"Stop teasing me." She turned her back at me and pushed her body on mine.

"Never." I said while putting my head on her shoulder. She suddenly turned around again and glanced at me.

"Why all this?" She asked with a wandering look on her face and her eyes full of question marks.

"Because you're worth it, my love." I simply answered. She crawled back into her position and kept looking at the sky while caressing my hands and arms.

Glimpses from my dream came back to me. The dream I had a few days ago. I dreamed about this picnic, about our romantic talks and gestures. Almost everything was similar to it, except the most important part of the dream.

In my dream, I'd put a ring on a small strawberry and give it to Bella that way. I'd kneel down and look at her surprised face and I would say the words that I wished I wasn't so scared to say.

"Bella, would you marry me?" I remembered the way she started to cry and agreed by nodding her head.

I talked about my dream with Alice and she immediately proposed herself to help me make it come true. I tried to make her understand I didn't want to ask Bella to marry me. Not because I didn't want to finish my life at her side- it was the total opposite. I couldn't imagine being away from her anymore; I didn't want to imagine it. I wanted to be with Bella until the day I died. No, I didn't want to ask her to marry me only because I was scared of her reaction. It may sound stupid but I was a real coward. I was pretty sure she loved me, I just wasn't sure about how it would evolve. I wasn't even sure to be alive at this time next year.

But everyone knows you can't stop Alice as soon as she has an idea. She prepared everything to surprise Bella.

I opened my eyes again, noticing I had been closing them since I dreamed again. I looked at Bella. I saw her breast move slowly with her breathing and the little smile on her face while her eyes were closed. I stroke her arms and kissed her neck, which made her moan quietly. She turned around and wrapped her legs around my waist. She stroke my face and the hair next to my ear. She slowly brought her lips closer to mine and opened them before touching my already open lips. They moved in a synchronized way, her mouth sucking my upper lip. Having her so close to me made me realize how happy I was.

She looked deeply into my eyes after a long kiss. It was like I could see into her soul, like I could enjoy her happiness through the look in her eyes. She was playing with my ear when I felt her body become rigid. Her fingers were still on my earlobe but she stopped moving, she stopped breathing and was just starring at a point in the wilderness. I turned my back around to see what she was looking at.

I saw two people walking faraway. I immediately recognized the two figures. The small sized and skinny figure with proper hair and a dress that was trying to hold on with the fast and big steps from the taller and forcer figure with his hair combed in a perfect way and his doctor's coat floating with the invisible wind. The way they were moving wasn't pleasing me, which probably was the reason why Bella reacted that way. She probably noticed the same worried steps from the two people, Bella and I could finally see Alice and Carlisle's faces as they reached us and we all realized it wasn't good news they were bringing us.

I'm so sorry if this update has taken a very very long time! I had my finals (which I passed), I had to arrange stuff for university next year, I had inspiration issues and when it all came back to me, I left on holiday without a computer. I hope you don't hate me. Next update will come very soon, I promise!

I love you, Laure.
