A/N: Well I just want to thank everyone who has reviewed and added me to their story alerts. I would like it if more people would start to review and tell me what they think of the story, as well as what I need to work on.

Last Chapter: Edward opened the door for me and I slowly got in. I saw him go around the car at an inhuman speed.

After he got into the vehicle he turned to me and asked, "Where to now my love?"

Chapter 5

The Meadow

Bella POV

I looked into Edward's eyes which were a light topaz today. I wondered where he wanted to go.

"Wherever you'd like," I responded, truly not caring where we went, as long as he was there with me.

He looked down at his watch, "It's about noon. Are you hungry?"

I shook my head, "You cooked a hearty breakfast this morning remember?"

Edward smiled, "Alright, I know where I want to go."

He started the engine and the next moment we lashing out of his driveway. A few minutes later he pulls over next to the side of the road, the forest solid all around us.

Edward opened his car door, got out and the next second was picking me up out of my seat. He held me against his chest as he ran through the forest. It dawned on me, of course! We were headed to our meadow.

When we reached to clearing he set me down on the ground. As we walked he caught my hand and intertwined it in his, bringing my hand to his lips and kissing my hand.

We lay down on the soft damp grass. I could hear the soft splashes of a stream in the distance. The flowers were all in full bloom, giving the meadow a vivid appearance. If I could imagine what I heaven might look like, this would be it. Of course Edward would be there, lying beside me, for eternity.

"What are you thinking love?" Edward brought me back to reality.

"I was thinking about what my heaven might look like?" I admitted, "And how I couldn't think of anything more perfect than this."

His soft smile knocked me breathless. Even after all this time knowing and loving him, he still had this sort of effect on me. I was positive he would produce this effect on me for infinity.

I leaned my head on his chest. We laid there for countless minutes. Edward was constantly running his hands through my hair. Every now and then he would bend down and kiss my lips or my forehead.

We didn't talk a great deal; for the most part we were just enjoying the moment. I wished I could have stayed there forever. Getting lost in his eyes and feeling comforted by the thought of him being there with me for the rest of time.

When the sun was setting, Edward said it was time to head home. After being carried to the car I got into the passenger side. We drove home, my hand still in his.

Edward drove me home. I got out, said goodbye, and went into the house. He would come back later tonight after Charlie had went to bed; a daily ritual. I found it was hard to sleep unless Edward was in the room with me. Soon I wouldn't have to waist my nights sleeping.

As I came into the house, I heard the TV on.

"Hey dad," I yelled over the television set, "Are you hungry?"

"Bells that you?" he called back.

"Yeah. You hungry?"

"No I already fixed myself something. Thanks though." I felt bad, I usually got home in time to make Charlie and myself dinner.

I stepped into the living room where Charlie was watching a basketball game. He was in his love chair, a Dr. Pepper in hand.

"I'm sorry dad," I apologized, "I lost track of time."

"That's alright Bells, your getting married. I think it time your curfew was extended anyway."

I laughed. "Alright, well I'm going to head up and take a shower, then go to bed."

Charlie glanced at the clock which read 9:13 p.m. "Okay, night Bells."

"Night dad," I ran up the stairs, taking two at a time, which was an extremely dangerous thing for me to do.

I went into my room; Edward wasn't there yet, so I decided to take a shower.

After I got out, I wrapped myself in towel. Going down the hall to my room; I opened the door to find Edward lying on my bed.

He gave me his crooked smile an amused look on his face, "Cute dress. Did Alice get that in Paris her last trip?"

"Hahaha…you're hilarious," I grabbed my undergarments, pjs and a t-shirt, and went back into the bathroom to change.

I came back into my room after brushing my teeth.

"You pull that look off very well," Edward snickered.

I ignored him and got under my covers next to him. He put his arm around me pulling me closer to him. He inhaled the scent of my shampoo, strawberries.

"Did Charlie go to bed?" I asked quietly.

Edward nodded.

After a few moments of silence Edward asked me a question that took me by surprise. "Bella, are you the least bit excited for the wedding? Or are you just doing it because you know it would please me?"

I looked into his dark topaz eyes; it had been awhile since he last hunted.

"That's part of it," I whispered, "I know it would make you happy, that's why I agreed. But I'm actually more excited for it than I thought I would be. The closer it is, the more anxious I get."

He looked slightly disappointed but I knew he appreciated the honesty.

"You see Edward, I was raised thinking marriage was the most horrible thing in the world. I love you, I always will, but that doesn't change how I was brought up."

He shook his headed, seeming to understand. "I nervous too," he admitted.

I chuckled, which lead to a yawn. "You should sleep love," Edward whispered into my ear.

I nodded to say I agreed.

As I was on the edge of unconsciousness, I thought about how much I loved Edward, that there was no other man that could even compare to my beautiful angel, and that marriage might not be as bad as my mother had thought.
