Chapter 54

After school Edward left me with Emmett and jasper, rose and Alice were helping esme with her renovation project. Jazz and em kept asking how they could kiss up to Alice and rose, the ban was really starting to get to them, they were all romantic but Edward out shone them. I told them flowers and gifts would work with rose but for Alice jazz would have to find a way to surprise her which was no easy feat with her ability but I was confident jazz was up to the job. After a couple of hours of trying to help them come up with possible ways to make it up to rose and Alice, it had begun to get dark out and Edward had come back, he had another surprise for me.

He led me out of the back doors helping me on to his back before he set off in a run. We stopped when we got to our meadow, it took my breath away, the sky had gotten dark and the moon was shining bright in the sky, Edward had scattered and lit tea lights throughout the meadow, and in the middle was a picnic blanket and a picnic. It was so beautiful and so romantic. I single tear ran down my cheek, Edward caught it and thought I was upset "my love, what's wrong?" his voice full of concern

"Nothing's wrong, it's just I'm so happy. This is so beautiful." He smiled my favourite crooked smile. I sat down and enjoyed the lovely food he had prepared for me, while he never took his eyes off me. When I finished we lay down staring in to each other's eyes. Neither of us felt the need to speak, we were just content to stare in to each other's souls. I didn't think it was possible but Edward looked even more glorious in the moonlight, the way the moonlight reflected his skin was something I could never imagine.

I must have fallen asleep in the meadow and been carried back by Edward, as I woke up in his bed. He was sitting on the couch watching me, "good morning beautiful" he smiled. His smile took my breath away as I got out of bed noting I was in bed wear, I made my way to the bathroom to freshen up and do my teeth. After pulling a brush through my hair and dressing we made our way to the kitchen for my breakfast. Edward poured me some juice and toasted a bagel for me.

As I was eating Alice rushed in hugging me, "ooo Bella, your plans going to work, it's going to drive him crazy" she said glancing at Edward.

"No no Bella wouldn't, she could not be that cruel to me" he looked between me and Alice with a look of dread on his face, he had seen what was going to happen in Alice's head. Alice must have seen what I was going to do to torture Edward, I had been thinking of ideas yesterday while Edward was out setting up my surprise and from Edwards reactions it was going to be perfect.

"Of course I am going to, Alice when will I do it and you will have to tell me later what it is I am going to do" I said

"I will tell you later when we are away from somebody and don't worry, I will make sure you have everything you need" and with that she skipped out of the room.
I followed after her; we were taking rose's convertible and Emmett's jeep today. The boys going in the jeep and the girls in the convertible, Alice said this would give us the privacy we needed for her to tell me what it was I was going to do to Edward. After she told me, she informed me that her and rose would be going for the supplies after school and that we would be alone in the house again tonight, it was sorted with Charlie and the others. I could not wait.

I was slightly worried that although we were in different cars that Edward would still hear but Emmett had been told by rose that she would remove the ban if he drove Edward as far away as possible, wait there for five minutes before driving back to school. It seemed to have worked as when the boys pulled up Edward had no idea of the plans for tonight and rose walked over to Emmett and passionately kissed his lips, he was about to get carried away before rose pulled away telling him that not to push his look. He nodded and held her hand as we walked to class.
I didn't pay much attention to my classes, as all I could think about was me and Edward in our meadow last night. Edward seemed have noticed my distraction and wrote a note sliding it to me
what's wrong?
Nothing, I replied
what are you thinking about then?
Just about us in our meadow last night

At this he smiled, and it looked like he was thinking about that too. He walked me to lunch but I realised that I had been neglecting my other friends so chose to sit with them today, Edward of course joined me. He didn't like to be apart from me if he could help it. Everyone seemed surprised at Edward joining us, they of course knew that we were together but he always sat with his family. Everyone but mike welcomed Edward. Jessica even attempted to flirt with him subtly, but I noticed. Edward paid no attention to her only focusing on me.

Mike seemed have noticed that there was no contact between Edward and myself, perhaps thinking this meant we were fighting and proberly the reason for the flowers yesterday. Seizing his chance mike turned to me "so Bella, I was wondering if wanted to catch a movie or something tonight?" I could hear the hope in his voice.

"Hmm sorry but I already have plans tonight" Edwards face dropped when I said this; he was not looking forward to his torture. Mike noticed this, confirming his suspicions that we were fighting "I can do tomorrow night though, if you want" I tried to make my voice sound friendly and not over eager as I didn't want to give him false hope. He nodded.
