Nervous about the date I was heading on would be a normal reaction right? At least I knew that he wouldn't let me go anywhere. I sighed and looked out the window. I was content with just holding his hand and staring off into space.
"So…" I started, but then I stopped myself as fast as I could. I loved this comfortable silence.
"I hate it when you don't finish your thoughts." He stated, but he didn't sound angry at all. He was mostly curious.
"Sorry, still not used to having to fill in the blanks for you." I sighed and looked towards him and squeezed his hand. "Are you gonna tell me where we are going love?" I asked.
"Nope."
"Persistent are we?" I meant it to be rhetorical, but he just answered anyways.
"Always my Bella." He said this with passion in his voice that I couldn't deny it. I sighed in contentment and annoyance, but I didn't want to argue so I let the conversation drop.
I noticed that his hands were starting to get clammy. "Edward, what's wrong?" I was hoping that nothing serious was up, but if there was I wasn't going to let him keep driving.
"I-I was wondering if you would let me put this blindfold on you…so then the destination of the date would still be a surprise." He was starting to scare me with his rambling. I silenced him with my finger to his lips, which he just kissed my finger and licked it. I giggled when he licked it; sometimes he's a…freak. Loose term, believe me I know, but it was the only way to describe him.
"Of course. You set up this date, so I will do whatever you want me to do." I was hoping that would make him a little less, I don't know, scared of my reaction. He simply leaned back and grabbed a blue bandana. I put it around my eyes, but as soon as I was done, I put my hands in my lap, not knowing what to do with them.
He grabbed my hand, which now I noticed was shaking and started rubbing circles on it. "Love everything will be fine, don't worry. I won't leave you like…other people did." He knew how sensitive the 'Charlie' topic was to me, and he wasn't going to bring up the memories, which I was thankful for.
"Okay," I was trying to not sound nervous, but when you can't see anything you can only expect the worse to happen in the world. It's like you have your only true friend, and you don't know what to do with yourself. Trying to be confident never worked in those situations, but acting like you were happy or excited usually did help. "I'm sorry if I sound like a nervous wreck, but I am. But I am happy, so you can't say that I'm not the happiest women alive right now." Just then I heard the engine cut off and the bubbling brook that I heard o' so long ago.
He probably knew that I knew, I giggled a little, but I couldn't tell what was happening. Edward's hand slipped away from mine, and then he was holding the other one. "I can tell you already know where we are, so do you want me to take off the blindfold?" I could tell that it saddened him that I could hear the brook.
"Do whatever you want my handsome Edward. This is your surprise to me after all." I was hoping that would lift his spirits.
"Alright then, the blindfold stays on." I could hear the smile in his voice, and I could tell that he was happy that I let him chose, yet again.
I heard another key being put into an ignition and I could only guess that we were driving up to the meadow, but on what? I felt the wind blow my hair and send shivers down my arms, motorcycle. That's completely safe in a forest and everything. I leaned my head on the back of Edward, or what I was assuming would be Edward. I felt warmth, so I couldn't care less as to who or what it was.
I heard the motorcycle turn off and the bike almost touch the ground. "We're here Bella." He stated simply with a different emotion that I haven't really heard before. I reached blindly for his hand, and like he could read my mind he put his hand in mine.
"Can I take the blindfold off now?" I asked a little impatient to see what he had done to the meadow.
"Just one second." He said with a thick emotion behind it, and then I heard him mutter, "I thought I told Emmett to light these!" he probably thought that was too low for me to hear, but I'm not going to ruin his fun with telling him that I could hear him. "Okay Bella, now you can take off the blindfold." I could tell that he was nervous, so I did this quickly.
I was astonished with the meadow, it had transformed from him telling me the truth, to the most romantic place in the world. I would gladly stay here tonight if he would let me. "Edward…wow…this i-is amazing…" I was in awe of this entire place. The bubbling brook just added to the romantic atmosphere. There were candles all around the meadow, then there was a little picnic basket in the middle of the meadow.
Looking at me curiously, Edward reached his hand out for mine. I quickly went and put my hand inside of his own. "Bella" he started, "I love you with all of my heart. The first time I saw you I thought that you might be one of those girls who just likes me for my body, but I found out that you were curious about me. After that I just decided to go with my emotions. I love you, forever." His speech was so beautiful, it didn't sound rehearsed like most guys would have had to, but it came from his heart.
"Edward, I love you and I always will, don't you ever forget that. I know this is going to be hard, but I love you with all of my soul and all of my heart. Please just don't deny any of my feelings towards you."
"I won't my beautiful Bella. I will cherish you for all that you are worth."
The End
