Sorry guys that I haven't been writing. My computer is on the fritz. I was typing chapter 4 out. I was up 2,000 words. And my computer decided that it didn't like me anymore and turned itself off. I lost everything. So if this sounds a bit rushed I'm sorry. My story was sounding so good, and it was the past when they first met and everything. Believe me when I say I was on the verge of tears when I seen it was gone. I was going to try and get at least two chapters out tonight, but it might only be one long chapter. My computer is going back to HP to get worked on. So when it gets back, we're going to finish this story once and for all. Real life just seems to be getting in the way lately. Sorry for all my excuses.

I kept dialing the listed number, but then I would clear it off my screen as fast as I dialed it.
I didn't understand way she was looking for me know after all these years. She had to be married and had a child by now. I hope not, I just couldn't get that snow covered angel out of my head. I closed my eyes at night she was there, during the daytime she was there. I just couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong and she needed me.
When I first met her, she was sitting under a tree crying and shaking. After a few seconds, I quickly moved to take off my goggles, and positioned them top of my head. What I saw gave the word 'breathtaking' a new definition. The eyes that were revealed had the most deep, rich shade of brown, and it definitely took my breath away. And then she turned her mouth into a heart shattering smile that made my heart ache.
This girl was fucking gorgeous.
And I was standing there gaping at her like a freaking idiot.
I struggled to come up with something to say. To break the ice, so to speak.
"Umm… are you all right?" I questioned her. Knowing something had to be wrong if she was sitting her crying.
"Yes! I'm fine," She assured me. "I-I'm so sorry, I'm so clumsy..."
"It's not a problem, miss..." I trailed off, waiting for her to finish the sentence. I only wish she would provide me her name.
"Bella," she said with a flustered smile.
"Bella," I repeated, and her name sounded so great coming from my mouth.
"Yes, I'm Isabella Swan, but I go by Bella. And you are?" She questioned. I could have slapped myself in the face; of course she would want to know who was saving her.
"I'm Edward Cullen, but I go by Edward." I said mocking her. She let out a small giggle, I gave her a small timid smile.
It was a good thing that I carry an emergency backpack. It has Space blankets, and food bars that are 2,400 calories each, flashlights, matches, water pouches, Air Activated Body/Hand Warmers, deck of playing cards, etc. I don't go anywhere without it.
I held out my gloved hand to her, and she took it without hesitation. As she tried to stand up, she leaned on her left foot slightly. "Ow," she said before I could stop her, she flopping back onto the snowy ground. I lifted my arm, cursing my stupidity.
I was immediately at her side, holding her foot in my tenderly. "Where does it hurt?" I asked softly.
"It's just my ankle," she said quietly, not finding it in her to deny my help. However, I didn't want her to think I was just some guy trying to get in her pants. "It's not that big of a deal."
"We should still get you some help, and soon. Do you know how you ended up here and which was it was back to the slopes?" I asked.
She shook her head no. I sat down beside her trying to figure away to get us out of this situation. Sense her ankle was spraining at the most, I could probably carry her out of here. It was almost dark, so we'll have to find us some shelter out of the wind. Or we won't make it through the cold night.
I told her the plan, and she didn't want to let me pick her up, but after I explain it to her rather harshly that if we didn't find somewhere warm soon, we'll both me human ice pops in the morning. I felt guilty after talking to her that way, but it was true.
We made our way through the vast tundra and woods. Until I spotted a rock that would serve well as protection from the wind. I sat her up against the rock. I pulled out the space blanket and handed it to her. I made sure she was as warm as possible, before heading off to the wood for the fire.
"I'm going to find some dry branches and build us a fire." I gently reach over and took her face into my hands and kissed her forehead. I don't know what possessed me to kiss her, but it just look like she needed someone to comfort her.
I finally got us a fire made, and could feel the heat warming my face. I could only hope it would last through the night. I made sure that we have four basic needs of survival: shelter, fire, water, and food.
I pulled out my first aid kit. I slowly made my way down to her ankle. I unlatched her snow boot, and slid it off her delicate foot. I could already tell that her foot was swelling. I gently raised her foot a little higher to remove her purple wool sock. I looked up to her face to see if I was causing any pain to her.
I wasn't causing her any. She was biting on her bottom lip, and her cheeks were flushed again. I just smiled to myself; I would die just to make sure that blush stayed upon those cheeks.
I wrapped her ankle in a elastic wrap, and replaced her sock and boot. She quietly thank me.
I moved the space blanket so that we were both under it. I placed my arm around her shoulders, to give her some extra warmth.
"I know you're still cold, but this is the best I can do. Other than press my naked body to your naked body." I wished I never said that. She probably thinks you're just trying to get in her pants. Great! I mentally slapped myself in the forehead. If mom heard that she'll wonder if I forgotten how to be a gentleman.
"No, thank you! Maybe later, if it really helps keep me warm, as you say it does, and what I've heard of from other people." She said with amusement and a small smile on her face.
"I have some protein/energy bars in the bag and some water pouches. We'll both need some energy. I also have a deck of playing cards if you would like to play to pass the time away?"
She just looked at me like I had grown a third head in the last thirty seconds.
"That would be nice; I don't remember when I last had something to eat."
She said shyly, looking through a curtain of hair.
I dug out the water pouch and one protein bar for each of us. "I hope you don't mind drinking after me. It'll save water if we drink together." I explained.
"You don't have to explain it to me, and no I don't mind one bit. When we get down maybe we can play strip Gold Fish?"
This time it was my turn to look at her like she had grown a second head.
"Okay, If that's what you want to do, sounds like fun." I said. Thinking about this night could lead to.
Once we had finished eating our meager meal, I dug the cards out.
"So how do we do this? I mean I know how to play, but what are the clothes worth?" I questioned.
"Okay, a sock is worth one pair and a shirt worth two? Like every pair I make you lose an article of clothing and vice versus."
She was too cute for her own good.
"I can't play poker, never understood the game." She explained. I understood what she meant, it took me forever to understand it.
"Okay, are we playing two pairs or four pairs?"
"I like to play four pairs. You want to deal or me?" I liked to deal, but I was always taught to let ladies go first.
"You can deal if you would like too." How did she do that, it's like she read my mind.
The first two games were great. We each were down to our underwear out in the freezing cold, but that didn't seem to matter. It was just me and her, that's all that matter.
Before I knew it we were rolling around kissing, and one thing led to another.
I finally dial the number and put the phone up to my ear and listen to it ring.
" Hello?"
I hope you liked my chapter. It'll be a week or two before the next one will be out, because my computer is going in to the shop. Please read and review.
