OK first

thanks to all my friends and especially my rewiewers- YOU ROCK! and .com

Edward shook me awake.

"Come on sleepy-head, it's already 10 o'clock. " He said softly. I turned my head to look at my clock.

"Actually, it's Nine fifty-eight" I corrected him.

"Actually "He said with a cheeky grin. "It's 46 and a half seconds past Nine fifty-nine. Your clock is wrong." Hardy-har-har. He vanished again but I knew he went home to change clothes. He could have brought a different outfit but that would be ...suspicious...at the least. I could just image what the conversation would be like. Charlie: Edward?

Edward: Um...yes .I did spend the night in your house without you knowing...

What!!!

And yes, I did sing your daughter to sleep. Then I watched her sleep...

It was a conversation that should be avoided at all costs. I pulled on a pair of navy leggings and a red, loose fitting blouse. I glanced at myself in the mirror. Aghhh. Hideous. But of course Edward would say it was fine. That gave me some confidence at least...I crept down stairs. Charlie was still asleep; it was one of his rare days-off. I grabbed a granola bar from the pantry and walked out the door. And there was Edward, look like a god, as usual. I felt superficial when I thought surly it's illegal to look that good...

"Good morning Bella" He purred and kissed my head softly.

"Good morning Edward" I tried to purr but it turned out more like a grunt. I got into is Volvo, while he, well, slid in gracefully.

"I didn't even realize that there was a gym in Forks." I commented lightly.

"Emmett wanted to come with us" He grinned. It was easy to image Emmett working out. Let me rephrase that; it was easy to image Emmett destroying the whole gym in less than 3 seconds...

"And let me guess, you didn't let him come?"I asked teasing.

"No. Do you honestly think he would listen to me?" He replied

"Rosalie" I said confidently. If Edward couldn't stop Emmett no-one could...except Rosalie. It was hard for anyone to disobey Rosalie, especially Emmett.

"Good observation" He commented. I laughed. Then sighed. How had Edward convinced me to go to the gym? Why did he have to be so...dazzling...?

"You're not having second thoughts are you?" He asked seriously. I broke out in a sweat. Was he seriously asking me if I was having second thoughts about spending eternity with my soul mate? Also known as becoming immortal? Of all the stupid questions you've asked, Edward Cullen, that is by far the stupidest! I wanted to say. I snapped back to reality. He was only asked me about the gym. Phew.

"Well you know I didn't want to come here in the first place anyway..."I mumbled quickly.

"It will be fun. Trust me" He assured me. Of course I trust you I tried to say, but couldn't find the right words. We drove into the parking lot of the Forks Gym We walked thru the automatic doors into an air-conditioned foyer. A tall receptionist was standing behind the counter. I shuddered. She looked exactly like Gianna, the receptionist that worked for the Volturi. Her name tag said "________".

"Hi. Welcome to the Forks gym. Are you too already members?" She asked us politely, although she only looked at Edward when she spoke.

"She is" he said equally polite, motioning towards me. "But I'm not. I was hoping I could sign up today, if that OK"

"Of course, she said flustered. Um sorry. What did you say your name was darling?" She had to rip her eyes of Edward to talk to me.

"Bella Swan"

"Ok, honey you ah...better go get started while..."

"Edward" Edward helped her. She obviously was in need of help.

"Yes. Thank you Edward...here are the forms..." She continued as entered a door labelled "GYM"

I walked into the wide room filled with equipment. It was relatively empty. That was good. The less witnesses the better. There was a pair of girls chatting to each other as they ran on treadmills side-by-side and one man in the opposite side of the room. The man was bulky and reminded me of Emmett. But his face reminded me of some-one else, some-one who I didn't want to remember.

I sighed. Better get started I suppose... I thought. I choose a treadmill that faced the centre of the room and was in front of a wall. l was closer to the girls that to the man and turned it on. It started off slow but increased speed by the second. I realized it was going fast. Too fast. TURN IT OFF! I screamed to myself. I struggled to find the power button. Until I could, I have to keep running. Just keep running. My fingers mashed buttons randomly in my desperate search. Oh no. It started to get even faster. I yelped. The man turned to stare at me. I blushed and looked down. My fingers continued to search for the power button. The machine suddenly stopped. I looked up. The girl's treadmills were also stopped. I just stood there for a minute. Then got off the treadmill and sat down next to it, gulping down all the water I had in my bottle. My machine and the girl's machines started up again. I turned the machine off from the safety of the ground.

Ok, so maybe I'll try something less...what was the word Edward used? "Damaging", yes that was it.

I will only publish the next chapter hen I get 5 or more reveiws so please REVEIW!!!
