Damn, I am making people want to play Go Fish and go camping...haha. Ego boost!

So, ON WITH IT...


EPOV

"Have a good night, there Eddie?" I heard the annoying voice of Emmett.

I tore my eyes away from Bella's sleeping form and up at him. "Emmett, what the hell are you doing here?" I asked, reaching for Bella's shirt and covering up her naked back.

He just laughed. "Dude, it's the lake. Really the only means for bathing. But maybe I should be asking you what you're doing here. Or, more specifically, what you did." he said as he wiggled his eyebrows up and down.

"Nice, Emmett." I responded as I sat up a little bit, holding Bella as close to me as I could so Emmett couldn't see anything.

"Whoa, Edward!" it was Jasper this time. Great.

"Go away." I said dryly.

"Oh come on now. Alright let's put this whole size issue to rest. Stand up so we can see the big boy." Jasper laughed. "I want to prove to Emmett that I'm bigger."

I rolled my eyes. "Jasper, I am not showing you my penis so you can have a dick measuring contest. If you're so insecure, maybe you should get some therapy."

I leaned my back up against a nearby tree and Bella's head slipped down my body, landing in my lap. Not good.

Shit, I could feel her hot breath blowing on me. I clenched my eyes shut, willing the feeling to go away.

"Damn, even in her sleep, she finds a way to get a hold of that thing." Emmett laughed.

"You have no idea." I mumbled to myself.

She started to stir, which really did not help the situation at hand. Oh my god, she's going to kill me. I am going to die. But what a way to go. No, that's not good thinking. I need to wake her up before I combust.

"Guys, can you just leave until I get her back to camp? Please? I really don't want her to be embarrassed. And seeing as how you guys already saw her in the bikini, and admitted to thinking about her inappropriately, this would really be the last straw." I told them.

They nodded their heads and walked away, thankfully.

"Bella." I said in a rather strained voice as her hot breath continued to flutter across my sensitive skin.

"Hmm?" she asked as I saw her eyes flutter open. She looked up at me, and then down to where her head had been laying. "Sorry." she smiled sheepishly as that lovely blush rose to her cheeks.

"It's alright, love." I said. As she pulled herself up, I couldn't help but rake her naked body. She was so beautiful with the sunlight pouring down on her. My goddess.

"Where are our clothes?" she asked, but she didn't need me to answer. They were right beside us. Without another thought, she got off me and started to dress herself. After watching her for a while, I too dressed and then we began our walk back to camp.

I had to admit, I wasn't quite as sore as I had expected, so that was a plus. When we got there, Emmett and Jasper were hanging around our fire pit. Thankfully they said nothing to Bella about coming across us that morning. I gave them a nod and then escorted Bella back into our tent.

We rejoined a now freshly washed Emmett and Jasper and very sleepy looking Rosalie and Alice.

"So boys, how about some fishing today?" Emmett asked, clearly excited as he clasped his hands together and started to rub them.

"Ugh. Do we have to?" Rose asked, not looking like such a happy camper. Bella, on the other hand had a large smile on her face. I held her closer to me as Emmett frowned at Rose, as if I was saying "that's my girl".

"Well, I guess the girls could stay behind if they wanted to." Jasper said, clearly not wanting to get on Alice's bad side. Yeah, I couldn't picture Alice fishing either.

"I wanna go." Bella said, hugging me back.

I smiled down at her. Of course she'd want to go. After living with Charlie for so many years, fishing was practically beat into her. Not to mention I was looking forward to the meal she would probably insist on cooking later that evening. From what I remember from when she would have the gang over at her house in high school, she could cook pretty damn well.

"Well if Bella can do it, then we can too." Rose announced, hoping up to go stand beside Emmett.

"Yeah." Alice agreed, but didn't look too convincing, as she walked to Jasper. "But my threat about those fishing hats stands." She glared at all three boys as if to make sure we wouldn't wear her 'hideous' hats.

"Cool. Let's get the gear and get a move on!" Jasper said, now hugging Alice tightly. I saw her grimace slightly, but she played along for Jasper's sake.

We were all out on the lake with our fishing gear. Each couple had their own boat. Bella and I were farthest away from Emmett and Rose, with Jasper and Alice in between. Bella and I sat in silence, basking in the peacefulness of the moment, and the warm sun that shone down on us.

Unfortunately, the other two boats weren't quite so quiet.

"Jasper, look! Look! Get it!" I heard Alice yell as she had a huge life vest clung to her body, though it was totally unnecessary for the depth of the water.

"Alice." Jasper said, and I could tell by the tone of his voice that his patience was wearing thin with her. "I can't just 'catch it'. It's not that easy. I have to wait for it to take the bait." he tried to explain.

"Why?" she asked. "That's too slow. Can't you just reach your hands in there and grab it?"

I heard Bella giggle quietly beside me. I turned in the boat to find her laying down. She was in a pair of shorts and her bathing suit top, holding her fishing pull, waiting for a bite, while her eyes were closed. She looked so beautiful, and I knew that there was no one more perfect on this earth. I had a sweet, and beautiful woman fishing with me. Some times, life is just too good to be true.

"Alice will be Alice." she said quietly.

I chuckled and then pulled off my shirt, leaving me in my trunks and went to lay down next to her. I turned my head to see her smile, and she lifted her head, moving it so that it rest on my chest. I closed my eyes, completely content, while we waited for a fish to nibble on our bait.

"Ew ew ew!! EMMETT, GET IT AWAY!" I could her Rosalie scream. "Emmett, that's gross, get it out of the boat!" she cried.

"Rose, this fish is going to be our dinner tonight." I heard Emmett try to explain.

"I don't care, get it out!" she screamed, followed by a 'plop' into the water. Well, that was one less fish to eat tonight.

"And Rose will be Rose." I chuckled, hearing her giggle along with me.

Suddenly, Bella sprang up. "I got one."she said, getting excited. I sat up to help her reel in the fish. I stood behind her, grabbing her pole, so that it didn't slip out of her tiny little hands.

"Do you have it?" I asked, wanting to make sure she could handle pulling it in

"Yeah, I think so. Just help me hold the pole." she said.

I did as she told me to. I restrained a chuckle, knowing that if she would've let me reel it in, it wouldn't have taken so long. But, she wanted to do it herself, and I respected that.

She fought with it for a few minutes, before finally bringing it into the boat. It was a good size fish. Nothing big, but definitely worth keeping to eat.

"Take that, fish!" she yelled at it, making me chuckle.

She sat down. "Okay, I'm done." she joked, as she was slightly out of breath. I unhooked the fish, put it in the Styrofoam cooler and put more bait on the hook.

"Good job." I said, patting her on the head.

She laughed. "That's what I get? A head pat? I'm your girlfriend, not a dog, Edward." she said to me.

"Alright, what would you like then?" I asked her.

"Hmm, anything?" she asked.

"Sure." I laughed. "How can I deny you anything?" I said, fully expecting her to ask for a kiss. That would be something I would most definitely give her.

She smiled evilly at me. Oh shit! "I want your swim trunks." she said.

"Bella." I warned. I'm not undressing in front of our friends." I told her.

"Fine." she sighed. "Then I want to know why you wont tell our friends how big you are." she said, completely serious.

"What?" I asked.

"I doubt it's because you're embarrassed. I mean, I don't have a lot of knowledge in that department, but I think I know that you are...well above average." she said, her face starting to flush.

I sighed and sat down with her. "Bella, I don't tell, because it's no one's business. That's between you and me. I honestly don't know why Rose and Alice told you Jasper and Emmett's size. We don't tell each other your cup sizes." I laughed.

"I suppose. I was just curious after they keep asking, ya know."

"I swear, I never know what's going to come out of your mouth next. You keep me on my toes." I said, kissing her cheek.

"Edward?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

"Love doesn't even begin to describe it." I said, kissing her forehead.

For several more hours, we were out on the lake. Jasper was only able to catch one fish, due to Alice scaring them all away. Emmett, had none, since Rose kept making him throw them back into the lake, complaining that they were "icky".

Bella and I, on the other hand, stayed longer than everyone else. We knew that we would be the main source of food, so we spent another hour and a half on the lake by ourselves. We had managed to catch 6 fish. At first it was just for dinner tonight, but it turned into a contest between us.

We wanted to see who could catch the most, and the biggest fish. I had to help Bella reel in all her catches, so we declared myself the winner, even though her bait got more fish. She almost fell over the side of the boat at one point, but I grabbed her by the waist to save her.

We arrived back at the camp site with everyone already around the fire, laughing about something.

"Fish!" Bella laughed as I dropped the cooler.

Wasting no time, Bella started to prepare the fish that we had caught, commanding me to just sit since I had done the majority of the work. I tried to protest, but she gave me a glare that told me to just shut up and do as I was told.

Thankfully, dinner conversation didn't involve any of my private parts. Instead, we reminisced of old times. We talked about what we were all like in high school and how we had changed.

"Bella, please tell me you remember the time you slept over at our house and after Edward touched you, you thought that you could die happy?" Alice laughed.

"Okay, first, I never said that, and second, we are so not talking about that." Bella said, that blush spreading across her face.

'Wait, what? When was this?" I asked, interested in what it was like for Bella before we were together.

"Bella was sleeping over at our house." Alice started. "It was a time when we were having a movie marathon. I believe we watched The Sixth Sense and the original Batman. Well, Bella was thoroughly freaked out during The Sixth Sense, so she naturally curled into a ball. I think you put your arm around her or something like that. Anyways, she was walking on a cloud for like three weeks. It was too cute. She thought that you were hitting on her four like two hours." Alice laughed.

I turned to Bella who's face was now completely red. "Sorry." she said as she smiled shyly.

I pulled her from her chair onto my lap wrapping my arms around her tightly. I still couldn't believe how absolutely clueless I was.

"Alice, as I remember, you and Jasper took a while to get together as well." Emmett laughed. I mouthed him a 'thank you' and he nodded at me.

"Um, I was only obsessed with him for three weeks before I finally told him." she said, sticking her tongue out at Emmett.

"Don't worry, Jasper wasn't any better." I laughed.

"What can I say, I was head over heals." Jasper said, winking at Alice.

The playful banter went on for a while, but the sun went down and our laughs filled the dark night, as the fire continued to burn as if fueling our spirits.

"Hey girls, do you want to see something really cool?" I asked as I got up, making sure Bella didn't fall.

"What are you talking about Eddie?" Emmett asked.

"The lake." I said, as to not give anything away. He nodded in realization.

We led the girls back down to the lake and sat down on the grass. Bella was in between my legs, her back resting against my chest.

"Wow, darkness. Cool." Rose said sarcastically.

"Just wait a sec, Rosie." Emmett told her.

BPOV

We were down at the lake. I noticed that Edward and I sat in the same spot as we...well, you know...last night.

He leaned down and whispered in my ear. "Look out over the lake." he said as he extended his finger to point there. The tone of his voice was so gentle and sweet. Like a lullaby.

I followed his extended hand and suddenly saw what he was referring to. It was a full moon that night. The sky reflected perfectly over the calm and smooth water of the lake. It acted as the perfect mirror, with the moon and stars shining back on it. But to make it even more incredible, there were hundreds of fireflies floating above the water, shining their light every so often.

I felt my breath catch in my throat. It was all so perfect, so beautiful that I couldn't tear my eyes away from it.

"This is were my dad proposed to my mom." Edward whispered in my ear. "Every camping trip that we came here, he would tell us the story. They found this place by accident. They were on their way to dinner reservations that he had made for them. He was planning on proposing at the restaurant, but their car broke down somewhere around her.

"He stumbled upon this lake as he wondered off to find the town. He immediately brought her back to this place. He described it exactly as it looks tonight. Never had I seen it so clear before." Edward explained. "They sat down and just looked at the lake and the beauty that it provided. And he decided it was even more perfect to propose that way. So he took out the ring and the rest is history."

"I always told myself that I would bring the love of my life here, to see what they had saw. To experience the magic that seemed to fill the night. And no matter how many times I had thought and dreamt about it. It was never as perfect as this moment right now." he whispered before kissing my cheek.

The whole story, the place. It was all so amazing, that I couldn't help the tears that rolled down my face. This was it. This was what I wanted forever. Edward's arms around me as we told each other exactly what we felt in that moment. When we spilled our souls to one another. Heaven no longer held anything of importance to me. Whatever was considered 'perfection' in heaven, paled in comparison to what I had at that moment...had in every moment with Edward.

"I never thought it would be like this." It was barely above a whisper when I spoke. "All those thoughts in high school that I had about us being together. I am just now realizing how far from perfect those were. They don't even come close. Nothing comes close to this feeling."

"I hope that's a good thing." Edward whispered as he chuckled lightly.

"You have no idea. Sometimes I feel like my heart could pound right out of my chest. I love the way you can make my heart misbehave, and how you can still give me butterflies, even after all we have done together. I love that you simply holding me, tells me that that's exactly where I belong. There is no where else I'd rather be than in your arms."

His arms tightened even more around me and we sat in silence staring out at that lake. The lake that had a completely different feeling than last night. The last night it had seemed so sensual and a playground to let our desires be unleashed. But tonight, tonight it was something different all together. It was romantic and beautiful. That lake was exactly like Edward.

My Edward.

In one moment he could be kissing my passionately, taking my clothes off and pressing me up against the nearest wall. And then at other times, he would do things like the Prom, or the fireworks, or more recently, like that lake that was so much like him.

"I will never let you go. Know that even when this summer is over, there will still be us. We will lose this summer. It will be gone and nothing but our memories will remain of it. But we will still exist. We will be together forever. Isabella Marie Swan, I love you, and that will not stop at the end of this summer." Edward whispered.

"You are too perfect for words." I giggled quietly. "I don't know where you get some of the things you say. Sometimes I think you spend your time watching every romantic movie known to man, just to make me swoon."

"Well, does it work?" he asked.

"Definitely." I laughed.

"Than I will continued to steal my lines." he joked.

I looked to my right, to find that the others were gone. Edward and I were the only ones left.

"Edward, they all left. Where did they go?" I asked, turning my head to look at him.

"I think, they are occupying their tents." he laughed. "The lake is kind of a chick magnet."

I laughed. "Oh, so that's why you boys took us out here?" I asked.

"Well, that's why Jasper and Emmett agreed to come as well. But in all honesty, I just really wanted to share this with you." he said, his green eyes boring into mine. "This is our spot." he smiled.

"Speaking of which, I loved your wild caveman side." I said, reaching my head farther back to kiss him.

"That is very good to know." he said against my lips. "I will keep that in mind."

We stayed down at the lake for a little while longer, making sure that we gave the other couples enough time to finish up whatever the hell they were doing. But by the time we got there, the tents were silent and the fire had long since died. I changed into one of Edward's tee shirts and he into his pajama pants. We cuddled together, each making the other know how much their embrace was wanted...was loved.

That night, like every other night, I dreamt of Edward. I dreamt of us down by the lake spending eternity there, together, not needing anything else. We both knew that we were the ones for each other. I might have thought I loved him in high school, but until he loved me back I realized that I had never known what love was. Either that, or love was just that much greater when it was shared. Shared with the only other person that could possibly understand how great that love was. The only person you'd ever want to understand. Love was Edward and Edward was my love.


Okay, first, let me just say that I KNOW how unbelivably corny that last line was...lol. Truly, i do, but i couldn't think of a good way to end my little love rant, so there you go, that's what happened.

And there you have it. We got to go back to sweet Edward after hot, caveman sex Edward...sexy growl agian. But what is and Edward without his sweet and loving nature? Exactly, glad you see where I'm coming from. For the record, I didn't steal any lines from romance movies...haha.

Okay, major sidenote, but i feel i NEED to comment: Ever notice that even if people HAVEN'T seen the movie, The Sixth Sense, they all know how it ends? I find that really funny. Okay rant over.

Thanks for your continued awesome reveiews. The are my inspiration.
