Reneslec Chapter 2 Today was a Fairytale, a twilight fanfic

Today was a Fairytale - Taylor Swift

I glance at my silver, diamond encrusted watch; a gift from Alec. It is six o'clock. The time he said he would be here. The doorbell chimes, echoing throughout the house. He is right on time, as usual. I practically tumble over myself to get to it, but Dad beats me, of course. Curse that vampire speed.

"Hello, Alec." he says begrudgingly. I groan internally. Please, Dad, be polite. Please please please be polite.. PLEASE! I scream in my head as I skip down the stairs.

"Nice to see you, Edward." Alec nods at my father. "You look beautiful Renesmee." he gives me his heart melting grin, eyes searching me from head to toe as I come into view. Dad growls low in his chest, a menacing rumble. Alec chuckles, and I know it must have been something he was thinking.

"I'll be back by eleven. Don't wait up." I giggle at my own uber-lame joke and Dad rolls his eyes, shutting the door as Alec and I run hand in hand to his shiny red Ferrari. He opens my door, and I slide in. He is in his seat less than a second later, and then we are off.

I watch him from the passenger seat, mesmerized by his every feature. He is smiling, making wild gestures with his hands to describe the story I have zoned out to. He looks so strong, so handsome. I feel weak and fragile in comparison.

Today was a fairytale
You were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale

Alec opens my door for me again and I step out, my heels crunching on gravel. For the first time, I notice what Alec is wearing. A loose-fit dark grey V-neck and loose-fit dark-wash jeans. His jet-black hair is sexily disheveled, as usual, hanging limply down his forehead almost into his eyes.

I am a bit more formal, considering I have two fashion-obsessed older sisters that are much stronger than me and can be pretty freaking scary. I am wearing a fire-engine red dress that fits like a glove, looking practically painted on, and tall, pointy, red heels. My bronze curls are piled on top of my head, leaving most of my back and shoulders bare other than the thin straps holding the dress up.

"I didn't know we were going to have to run.." I bite my lip nervously, knowing running through the forest will cause me to completely ruin my dress and hair.

"We aren't. I am. I'll carry you, if you can hold these." he grabs the classic wooden picnic basket out of the backseat, handing it to me, and then hands me a woolly plum-colored blanket and a radio, knowing it is no problem for me. I might not be as strong as a vampire, or have quite as much dexterity, but I can hold my own. I smile to show I've got it all, and he scoops me into his arms bridal style. He takes off running and the wind blasts into me.

We stop in a scenic field, complete with gorgeous wild flowers and a magnificent view of the sky which usually clears away the clouds as night draws near. Alec sets me down and I wobble a few steps before regaining my balance.

"Well, that didn't really work out." I frown. I can feel my hair is a frizzy mess. I quickly pull out all the painful pins, allowing loose ringlets to cascade down to my waist. A few leaves are stuck in them and they're just as frizzy as I expected.

"It's fine. You always look pretty." he grins boyishly. I laugh. Alec always know just what to say to absolutely make my day.

Today was a fairytale
I wore a dress
You wore a dark grey t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around

I comb my fingers through my hair several times, thanking my lucky stars for immortal beauty that allows my hair to return to a state of glossy perfection after about the fifth comb-through. I wipe under my eyes with my thumbs strategically to remove any make up that might have smeared under there. It is a habit I have that I do all the time, just in case. You never know when that pesky mascara will mess up on you. Alec gets to work laying out the dark blanket in the grass and turning on a slow jazz-like song with no words.

I stare at him, smiling slightly. He observes his work on our picnic area, nodding proudly to himself. I almost laugh. He is so cute. I love every little thing about him, other than the reason behind those intoxicatingly mysterious crimson eyes, of course.

He glances up, catching me staring. I flush pink. He uses his spectacular vampiric speed to get in front of me before I can blink. He smiles down at me, wordlessly taking my hands and wrapping them around his neck. He encircles his arms around my waist, pulling me close as he begins to rock us back in forth in slow circles.

He leans down, pressing his ice-cold lips against my fiery-hot ones. Oh, how I love his kisses. He carefully and softly moves his lips in sync with mine, never trying to take it further than a simple, sweet movement of the mouths. Every single kiss of his is flawless. I fall deeper in love every time.

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale

We continue to dance for what seemed like hours but could have only been about twenty minutes. Time moves slower whenever he is around, as if it is trying to give me as many precious seconds with him as possible.

He stops dancing abruptly as the slow, soothing music plays on. He smiles down at me and my heart flutters. His smile always gets to me.

"You're the most beautiful, amazing girl in the world. I have never stopped thinking that for so much as a second since the day I met you. Happy one year anniversary, Nes." he brushes my hair out of my face, tucking it behind my ear. He is always knows exactly what to say. Never stutters or mumbles or fumbles for words. Every gesture and movement is always so perfect. He is the world's best boyfriend.

"Happy one year anniversary." I whisper, smiling back at him. I hug him tightly, the curves and dips of my body fitting exactly to his. I breathe in his scent, loving every minute of this perfect date planned out solely by him (with perhaps a little help from Jane and maybe Alice, of course.).

Alec and I have been together for one year, obviously. We met at a ball in Volterra, and fell in love instantly. He lives thousands of miles away, but the Volturi have top of the line jets, of course, so he flies out here in all his free time.

My family didn't approve, and at first I thought it would never work out. But we have battled through the odds, and this perfect night marking one year is full of victory and triumph for the both of us. It has cleared away all lingering doubts left in my mind that this might not be right.

I can't imagine my world without Alec anymore. I used to always feel like I didn't fit in, not in the supernatural world or the mortal world. I was confused about it all, and had given myself more than a couple blows on my self-esteem. But the first time I laid eyes on Alec, it was like all the bad disappeared. And now he makes me feel needed and gorgeous all the time. I love him with everything I've got.

Today was a fairytale
You've got a smile that takes me to another planet
Every move you make everything you say is right
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
All that I can say is it's getting so much clearer
Nothing made sense until the time I saw your face
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
Yeah yeah

We lay down on the soft blanket, my head resting in his lap as he brushes through my hair. I revel in the feeling of his touch. As corny as it might sound, he even brought chocolate covered strawberries (my favorite) and fed them to me.

He leans down, kissing me with tons of passion. His tongue glides along my lower lip and I grant him entrance. Our tongues mingle, and while I'm sure the taste of chocolate strawberries isn't exactly pleasant for him, he didn't show it and my love of his kiss far outweighs any embarrassment I might have over my taste.

We both lay down, head now resting on his chest, and stare at the stars twinkling overhead. He whispers sweet things in my ear, causing me to giggle and blush occasionally, two things he loves making me do.

He kissed the hollow just below my ear, and then makes a steady trail down my throat. My heart thunders in my chest. He places a hand over my heart, feeling the rapid beating and chuckling at my embarrassing human traits.

Time slows down whenever you're around
I can feel my heart
It's beating in my chest
Did you feel it?
I can't put this down

It was the most perfect date Alec and I have ever had. No humans around to ogle at us, no one there to hear us telling each other very private things, no family hovering with watchful eyes. Just the two of us, the way it is suppose to be.

I fell asleep in his arms, and woke to him carrying me upstairs to my bed. I smile groggily at him and whisper, "I love you."

He looks down at me with an amused smile and quietly says back, "I love you too."

"Forever and always." I get out before passing out in his arms once again, my head filling with sweet dreams of the most perfect guy in the universe. Today was like my own, personal fairytale.

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way

Today was a Fairytale

A/N: Again, not very good, but I'm still trying to get the hang of this!
