Thank you all for the AMAZING reviews! keep it up and I will keep writing. :)
Chapter 14: Meadow
Edward had packed chocolate bars with labels written in some foreign language that I had assumed was German. He also pulled out a package of fresh strawberries.
The next thing that was taken out of the basket was a little metal pot.
"What are you doing?"
"I heard that chocolate dipped strawberries were romantic." He grinned. Tears started to well up in my eyes as he broke the chocolate into chunks and dropped it into the pan.
I screamed as Edward stuck his hand into the fire. "Relax." He laughed as he pulled out a scolding hot, red, flat rock. He set the pot on the rock and I watched the chocolate melt quickly.
As soon as the brown liquid was smooth and creamy, Edward took a big, red, juicy strawberry and dipped it into the milky chocolate. He offered it to me and I took a bite.
He started laughing hysterically and I couldn't understand why. I started looking around the meadow, wondering what he was finding so funny. Then I felt his fingers rubbing at something on my shirt. I looked down and saw a large glob of chocolate staining the nice tan sweater that Edward had picked out for me. He licked the chocolate off his fingers and I shivered at the sight. Damn he's sexy, I smiled.
"I don't know why you humans, girls especially, like this stuff. It's not bad, but it's really all that good either." Now it was my turn to laugh. He had chocolate smeared on his bottom lip.
I had to admit that it made him appear even more sexy. He turned to get something from the basket and came back out with a large tee shirt. "It's one of mine. I packed extra just in case." I was still internally laughing at the chocolate on his smooth, pouting lips.
He pulled my shirt over my head and threw it back into the basket. Before he had the chance to put the other tee on me, I pounced. I caught him by surprise and was able to knock him backwards. "What the…?" But he was cut off by me sucking the chocolate off his bottom lip.
He let out a low, seductive growl as I pulled at his sweater. He obliged and threw it in the grass. We continued kissing like that until I opened my eyes and realized that the burning hot pot was against Edwards shoulder.
"Oh my God! Edward! Are you okay?" I screamed.
"Huh? Oh." He said, realizing why I was screaming. "Bella, relax, I'm fine."
"But you said that fire can kill you."
"Yes, fire can kill me, but that's just hot. I didn't even realize that it was touching me. I thought I was just feeling your body heat." He explained. "Don't worry, I'm not hurt. Now if that," he pointed to the camp fire, "Were to get out of control, I might be in trouble." He laughed, but I couldn't see what was so funny.
I suddenly lost the desire that I had before. I reached around for the tee shirt and pulled it over my head.
Edward laid back on the blanket, looking up at the clear, night sky. "Silly Bella." He laughed, pulling me down to lay next to him. I rested my head on his bare chest and followed his gaze into the stars.
Someone was shaking me and I didn't know why. "Bella, you're going to miss the show." Edward said quietly in my ear.
I sat up with sudden realization, I was outside, alone, with Edward. It was still dark out, but the sky was so clear that the meadow was filled with the moons glow. I looked at Edward and saw tiny facets of diamonds shimmering faintly in his skin. "Look up, my love." He whispered.
I looked to the sky and saw streaks of light fly through the black. "Wow. It's beautiful." I said under my breath. I had no doubt that Edward could hear me.
"I know you are." I looked at him and realized that his eyes never left my face.
"Don't you want to watch the meteor shower?"
"I've seen it before and I have a million lifetimes to see it again, but I only have a few short days to see you like this. Your skin is so warm, your heart beat is strong. Bella," Oh no, not this again. "Are you sure you want me to change you? Do you really want to give up this life?"
"Edward." I scolded. The look on his face told me that I didn't need to say anything else. He knew my answer, and he knew that it was final. "So," I said with a lighter mood. "When are we leaving?"
"Early." He grunted.
"Shouldn't we be heading back then?"
"No." Was he really that mad about me wanting to be changed? I couldn't believe it! Suddenly, his face softened. "I'm sorry, Bella. It's just…Well, we've been over this many times. I'm sure you already know my side of it pretty well."
"And you know mine." I pouted. I was not about to let him make me feel guilty for wanting to be with him forever. He got his part of the deal, I married him, now it was my turn. Instinctively, I looked at the diamond studded, gold band around my left ring finger. I lifted his left hand and traced the smooth gold band that rested on his third finger as well.
"Lay down, Bella."
"But shouldn't we really be going back to the house?"
"There's nothing there. Everything and everyone is gone. We're staying out here tonight." My face lit up in panic. "Don't worry, Bells, I'll keep you safe." He smiled, kissing my cheek.
I realized that he was still shirtless. It wasn't cold outside, the sky was perfectly clear. It was a comfortable August night, yet his skin was as cold as ice. I shivered, not from the cold, but from the thought of never really having human contact again.
Edward pulled another blanket out of the basket and wrapped it around me. How could he fit all these things in that little basket? To be fair, it wasn't really that small, but still, it seemed bottomless.
Even though it wasn't chilly, I accepted the blanket and rested my head once more on Edwards smooth, hard skin.
