After the game, Emmett was still fuming about our win. It made me laugh to see him like that. Edward also seemed to be amused. I went bouncing over to him, still excited about what a good job I did.
"A little excited, are we?" Edward mused.
"Just a bit." I smiled.
"That's good. I'm so glad to see you happy again," he said, returning the smile with my favorite crooked grin. "So, what do you want to do now?"
I put a finger to my chin and looked up. "Hmm...how about we go to the meadow? I haven't been there in a while."
"That sounds lovely," he said. "The storm is well far away. I'm just glad it didn't rain." He was right on that one. Rain would have spoiled it, but thankfully, it was a dry storm.
We both ran to the meadow and sat down next to each other next to a tree.
"It seems like so long ago when you showed me this place," I said. "I don't know about you, but I think that was the happiest day of my life."
"Mine was long before that, Bella," Edward whispered, stroking my cheek with his hand. I adjusted myself to kiss him. He kissed back, but with more entusiasm than usual. I wrapped my arms around his neck and proceeded to open my mouth a little. No protest. I knotted my fingers in his hair as he wrapped his arms around my waist, one hand on my back. His sweet breath was intoxicating, so I didn't know what was comming when I felt myself falling backwards, him supporting me with his hand.
I suddenly realized what he was trying to do. He was on top of me, kissing me and making it impossible to comprehend what was going on. My mind was once again battling it out about what I should do. I still wanted to wait at least until we were married, but I also knew how much I really wanted this. Which one would it be? My mind continued to battle as Edward ran his lips up and down my jaw. He hovered over me, which was like him hovering over my arguement in my head. I wanted to keep going. Stupid! Wait until marriage! I pushed on Edward's chest to lift him off. I actually pushed him off with my own strength.
He gazed in my eyes. "Is something wrong?" His eyes were so bright and intense.
"Edward, As much as I love this right now, you know I still want to wait until we're married."
"Do you?" I didn't have time to answer.
He was kissing me again. This time, it seemed as though he was trying to convince me to keep going. Another battle. This is what you wanted! No, I couldn't let it go on. I pushed on him again. He groaned.
"This is hardly the time for your male hormones to kick in overdrive," I said.
"Are you sure you want to wait?" He whispered in my ear.
I sighed. "I'm sure."
He sighed as well. "I respect your wishes. I apologize for pushing myself on you like that." He sat up.
"Don't worry. I really enjoyed it. My mind just kicked in and told me to wait." I sat up and kissed his cheek.
He laughed. "Your mind doesn't seem to like me very much."
I put my lips to his ear. "No. It's just the opposite."
Yes, it's short, and I'm sorry. I will try not to make it short next time!
