It was just a matter of seconds he was in front of me.

"I talked to Alice." I stated tapping my foot and crossing my arms.

He gulped. "What do you mean?"

"Oh you know what I mean! Just tell me what! You know me very well to know that I do not like surprises. At all!" I virtually screamed at his face.

He gripped me gently by the shoulder and said, "Bella, breathe. Breathe deeply. In and then out."

I did what I was told. "Well, why don't you breathe? Huh!"

He chuckled. "You do remember very well that I am a vampire and I don't have to breathe."

"Not funny Edward. I just want to know in advance if Alice planned a little surprise party for me."

"No." He simply answered. "Now let's go," freeing me from his grip "We don't want to be late. Not to worry now, Alice didn't plan a surprise party for you ok?"

I nodded. But I swore I heard him mumble something like, "But I did."

Outside, it was raining. It's very typical when you live in a town like Forks. The weather is always like this. Always.

As I stepped outside, I slipped. Edward caught me. My hero. If Emmett were here, he would be laughing on the ground, rolling down the small hill of my house, across the street and into the forest. But I guess I don't blame him. I mean, I laugh at myself usually too, even Edward. Being clumsy is part of my genes.

To my surprise, Edward didn't walk to his Volvo. That was a waste of gas.

"Aren't we taking your car?"

"Nope. Not today." He opened up an umbrella and placed it over the both of us. I wonder where that came from. "Why don't we go for a walk? Exercise is good for the health!" He sneered.

"But Edward!" I protested.

"Hush. We're going to our meadow." He hugged me closer and smelled my hair. "Strawberry." I'm impressed.

We walked side by side until we reached the entrance to the meadow.

"I'm beat!" I said with a giggle.

"I know. I know. I'll carry you. Hop on." He crouched down a little bit so I could hop on his back. I snaked my arm around his neck and planted my head on the space between his shoulder and chin.

"Are you ready?" He asked with concern.

"Yes I am" With that, I closed my eyes awaiting the adventure.

I breathed. Sniffing all the memories I had in here, both good and bad. It's good to be back.

Edward gently planted my feet on the ground. At the same exact moment, I opened my eyes and watch as my Edward glittered under the rays of the sun.

He surely was beautiful. I couldn't blink. I was just staring at him with awe.

"Bella?"

I snapped out of my trance. "Oh, sorry about that. I was just—"

"Am I dazzling you again?" (A/N: one of my fave quotes!!!) He chuckled.

"Yes. But, you always do."

I looked at him but he was gazing at something else over my shoulder. It was more like someone. We had company. He didn't look worried though. It seemed like he was trying to read someone's mind. I wonder who it was.

"Edward? Edward?"

He was still staring at it. I turned around and gasped. Eight shadows have emerged from the forest.

Dun dun dun dun... who could it be!?! lol...
