Previously:

"Can I get a rein-check?" He lifted me off him and got out of bed. Told you. "I promised someone I would take them on a special weekend, just us, remember?" Oh shit! That was this weekend!! I had slightly forgotten with Charlie being mad at me and all. I understand how he can be mad, his only daughter just picking up and leaving for two days with only a note. But really! Man could he hold a grudge.

Edward had promised to spend a weekend with me, alone. Due to my...stress levels, aka nightmares of him dying. He decided I needed to have him demolish all my fears of him leaving again, and this involved him spending tons of unneeded money on me, and taking me somewhere I'd never go to unless Edward was there. He was taking me to the Rocky's. Yep, Canada. Now come to think of it, alone in the mountains with my very own Greek God could be pretty fun, especially with the morning we just had! I suddenly got excited and couldn't wait to leave Forks.

"Bella? Hello...Are you okay?" I looked back up at him, realised I probably just spaced on him for quite some time, and got up to hug him.

"Yeah Edward, I'm great! When are we leaving?" I went over and pulled my suitcase out from under the bed, and started packing all my clothes. As I was doing this Edward came behind me and hugged me.

"Love, you don't have to do that. Alice has already gotten your bag ready to go. She didn't tell you?" Alice! She would! All of my clothes are here still which means she got me a whole new wardrobe.

As calmly as I could bare it, "No, she didn't tell me she was buying me a whole new closet! Sometimes I wish she would just butt out!" I realised after that that didn't come out calm at all, so I turned around and hugged him again.

"Hun, it's okay. We can take your clothes if you want to. I thought she told you, I'm sorry." I got up on my toes and gave him a kiss.

"It's okay, Edward. It isn't your fault Alice is Alice. I love her for her anyways. I half expected this. At least I didn't have to go shopping with her." Edward chuckled, and picked me up. He gave me a kiss and walked me down the stairs and to the door, where he put me down, his smile never faulting. I opened the door to a nice, bright sunny day. I glanced at Edward, but the smile was still on his face.

"Alice says it will darken up on the way to B.C. Apparently it's like Forks and barely get sun this time of year." I silently hoped that that would not be the case. I wanted to see Edward sparkle in the sunlight while we were gone. It was in the mountains, vacant of humans. A girl could hope.

*****

I slept most of the ride, but when I was awake Edward was driving at top speed, as usual, and stroking my hand back in forth with his thumb. We stopped a dozen times for my "human moment" but then were on our way again.

We had just crossed the border, into Canada, when my stomach growled. I hoped Edward hadn't heard it, but being the vampire with supersensitive hearing, he heard it.

"What do you want for lunch, love. There are the same fast food resturants here, plus some different ones. Or do you want to eat at a sit down place?" He lifted my hand up off my lap and kissed the top of it, sending sparks through my arm up to the rest of my body.

Food...right. "Uhhh, I..don't...care...." I was so lost in his liquidy golden eyes, I could barely make a sentence with him staring at me like that, the electric spark still pulsating through my body.

He turned off the road and stopped at an A&W. Yes! Fast food. Now we don't have to waste time on getting to the cabin, and he can't stare at me eating like he usually does because he has to drive. A giant pop and two bottles of water later I had to go to the bathroom. So we stopped at the next restrooms and when I came out Edward was leaning on the car, arms crossed, with his hair dangling in his face. He was so sexy! I just stood there and stared at him, completely dazzled. He came up towards me and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a hug. He kissed the top of my head, breathing in my scent.

"Are you ready to go, love?" He leaned back, still holding me, looking right into my eyes. I could feel my knees giving out and he took that the wrong way. "Seems like you need some more sleep, are you still tired?"

"No, not really. You were just dazzling me again." I could feel my cheeks burning red, but I knew how much he really liked when I spoke what was on my mind.

He chuckled, giving me my favourite crooked smile, and leaned in to kiss me. I waited for him to pull away, but he didn't so I moved my hand to his neck and tried to pull down as hard as I could. Edward caved, pushing his lips harder onto mine. I snuck a quick breath through my nose so he couldn't break our kiss, as he pulled me even closer towards him. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, I felt a sudden breeze and then I was pushed against the car. Edward pulled away just in time, to give me a breath and was kissing my neck, while his hands explored my sides again.

"Edward..."

"Mmm?" Was all he managed to get out. I couldn't remember what I was going to say but I knew this had to stop before I pushed too far as usual.

I tried to pull his face back to mine, and he willingly obliged, kissing me back with just as much passion as before. I threw my hands into his hair, scrunching it up with my hands and tried, again, to pull him closer. He deepened the kiss further and then grabbed my hands. He pulled them down his neck and let them rest on his chest, breaking our kiss at the same time. We tried to catch our breath together, mine more needy than his, for the next couple minutes.

"Come on, love," He walked me to the other side of the car, "I want to get you up there before dark."

After a couple minutes of driving I was back to sleep. I dreamt about Edward, and our meadow. And how wonderful this cabin will be, in the middle of a mountain.

Edward woke me when we were entering the forestry. I looked ahead as far as I could see and noticed the road ended. I looked at Edward, questions flying through my mind, and noticed he had a grin on his face.

When we got to the end of the road, I noticed a trail, a tiny at that, heading further out.

"Love, I need you to stay in this car until I get back, okay?" Pfft! Like I would go out there alone. I would probably fall down a crevas, or get attacked by a tree branch.

"Not a problem. Where are you going?" He leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek, shooting heat through it, and started to get out of the car.

"I'm going to put our suitcases away in the cabin. I'll come back for you." He promised. I watched him as he gracefully picked up my two suitcases and his one, and ran off into the dark, creepy forest. He was back before I even had time to think about getting out of the car, opened my door and pulled me out of the car. He picked me up bridal style and told me to hold on.

I screamed as he started to run, and clasped my eyes shut.

"Silly Bella. Like I would let anything happen to you in my arms. I would never hurt you, love." He voice was so sincere, so full of love, it made my insides melt.

"I know, Edward, but I'm still flying through a forest at an amazing speed. It takes some getting used to." I then felt my feet on the ground and looked up, my breath instantly forgotten.

In front of us was this beautiful little cabin made of stone, light grey stone mixed with some little pink stones. There was a tiny little door, made of mahogany and a little smoke was coming from the chimney.

"Oo. Edward, it's beautiful!"

He lead me inside and it was just as gorgeous! The doorway opened up into the living room, with a big screen television, a couch, and a shelving unit full of t.v shows and movies. Of course there was every game station known to man, purely for Emmett I'm sure. Off the living room, to the right, was the kitchen, with a big island sticking out the middle. Off the living room, to the left, was the bedroom. It had two dressers, a big wooden bed, and a bathroom branching off in the furthest corner.

"Esme designed it, and kept it up to date as well. We haven't been up here in a while, since we all like sticking to our home."

I walked into our room and started to unpack my clothes, or what I gathered were my clothes. I pulled out a pair of jeans, skinnies, but okay. Next were some very revealing blue tee-shirts, a couple fancy sweaters, and then socks. After the socks was were it got bad. Alice seemed to think that I needed "sexy" pajamas. Edward, I had noticed, was just standing in the door way watching me unpack.

"Umm, Edward? Are you going to unpack?" I looked at his bag and then back at him. He walked over to it really slowly and then put it all away before I even had time to blink twice. He walked over to me and looked in the bag, seeing the "P.J's" and froze. He just stood there, he didn't even breath.

"Edward? I'm not going to wear them if that makes you feel any better." I waited. Nothing. Crap!! He better not be all zombie on me this whole time. "Edward? Please talk to me. Or just move. Something?"

He finally flinched, his face contorting into a half snarl, half wince. He faced me, putting his one hand on my hip, "I'm sorry, love. I know it isn't your fault, but I couldn't help picture you wearing those....I just... I needed some time to wrap my head around it."

"Oh." I looked at the floor, my cheeks starting to burn. He pictured me in those...and the face he made. Did it look that bad on me?

"Bella, it wasn't you. Hun, it was just startling, and...hard to keep control of myself." He put his hand under my chin and raised it so I was looking back at him. "Love, don't doubt me, please."

"O Edward! I don't doubt you. I just doubt myself. You are so amazing and perfect and beautiful and I'm so ordinary, so plain. It's just hard to make myself believe how much you love me." He bent down and kissed me softly, then looked back into my eyes. I could feel my heart pick up its pace, and I knew he could hear it as well. He picked me up and laid me on the bed, kissing me one more time.

"I'll let you get dressed. I'll be in the living room when you are done." He started walking out of the room, and I couldn't help but feel slightly unwanted. He didn't want to see me half naked. He didn't want to see any of me.

"Why?" I whispered. I heard him turn around, but didn't see him. I was looking at my hand playing with a strand piece of material off the quilt, when I felt his arms around me.

"Oh, Bella. That's how I am. I'm sorry. I thought it would be uncomfortable, it being our first time at any of this, I don't know how to go about it all." He let me go, but kept his hands on my body.

"I understand. It sometimes feels like you don't want me still, and you never want to escalate our relationship further. I know why and I know how hard it is for you like this, but I'm still just a girl. A girl who is in love with this amazing man and wants him so bad, all the time." I got up to get my change of clothes and looked over at Edward who was still on the bed. I waited for him to leave, but he just laid back on the pillows and stared at me. My heart beat picked up, and my cheeks flushed red. Great going Bella. Now he is going to stay and see you half naked!
