"Remind me never to go shopping with Alice again," I whispered to Edward after we exited the mall.
"No problem," he replied before kissing me again. He's been kissing me all day whenever he could. He's been my shield against Alice when I couldn't come out of the dressing rooms because of the bruises that I have. I'm glad that he was there for me.
"Will you two cut it off," Alice screeched. "You've been kissing her for what feels like none stop today!"
"You and Jasper did the same when you two first got together," Edward hissed.
"But you haven't even asked her to be your girlfriend," Alice yelled. Edward looked away in shame. I touched his arm and he turned to look at me. I cupped his face before kissing him.
"It's alright; you don't have to," I whispered.
"I want to though, Bella," he sighed in frustration.
"Then ask me," I smiled.
"But it sounds so dumb," he growled.
"Edward, ask me," I stated.
"Bella, will you do me the honors of being my girlfriend," he questioned. I smiled and nodded. He kissed me again, and I giggled with joy.
"See, was that so hard, Edward," Alice questioned. We turned to see that she was smiling in the front seat. Edward shook his head, but he also had a smile on his face.
"You two are crazy," I stated.
"We're the craziest," she winked. I laughed at that.
"Alright, where two next," Edward questioned.
"To school please," I replied.
"We can just drop you off at your house, Bella," Alice stated. "It wouldn't be a problem." I felt fear rush into me, and I shook my head vigorously.
"No, I've got my truck at school, and besides, I've got Angela to drop off," I answered. Alice nodded, and she started to head towards school. We arrived just in time as the bell rang for the last class. I got out, and I took the bags that were supposed to mine and dumped them into the truck.
"See you tomorrow," Edward stated before giving me a quick kiss.
"Bella," Angela gasped.
"Hi Angela," I smiled. It wasn't a fake one either. "You ready to go?" She nodded and quickly entered the truck. Then she pointed to my seat. "I've got to go," I stated as I turned back to Edward. "Bye."
"Till tomorrow, Bella," he smiled before kissing me again. I walked over to the driver's side and got in. Once the engine was started, I drove out of the parking lot.
"Details," Angela commanded. I nodded, and I explained the whole day. Once we were at her house, she nodded and told me to tell the rest later. She grabbed my bags, and she walked in the house with them. I went home and started the same deal as always. James gave me a lot of grunts, and I wasn't hit at all, which I found fantastic. Then, I went off to bed.
When I woke up, I went to Angela's house as usual to pick her up. I only had to honk three short honks today, which I found amazing to say the least.
Edward was waiting for me when we arrived at school. "Hello beautiful," he greeted.
"Hi," I smiled before giving him a kiss.
"I want to take you somewhere," he stated. He seemed very happy for some reason. "Will you come with me?"
"Where would we go," I questioned.
"I want to make it a surprise," he stated.
"Alright," I said after a couple of minutes. "Only if we make it back by the end of the school day."
"Deal," he smiled before walking over to his car. We both hopped in, and he drove off. We were quiet, and I didn't say anything.
"Where are we," I questioned as we got to the end of the highway.
"I told you it's a surprise," he smiled before running over to my side of the car and helping me out. "But we've got to hike there."
"Hiking," I questioned. "Haven't you seen that I'm a total klutz?"
"Yes, but I'm going to be there to help you all the way," he supplied. I sighed and nodded. Then he was taking me somewhere, and we were quiet the whole time. He seemed to be concentration on my movements as I went.
"What are you doing," I questioned after he put his hands in front of my eyes. It's been hours since we first entered the forest, and I've become exhausted.
"I'm making it a full surprise," he stated before removing his hands. I gasped in surprise as I took in a beautiful scene as the meadow in front of me stood.
"It's wonderful," I smiled as I turned to face him. He seemed nervous before, and now he just looks relieved. We talked for what felt like hours in the meadow, and I found myself being truly happy. I don't think that I've been this happy ever since I've lost my parents. "What time is it," I questioned after a couple of hours.
"It's two thirty-five," he replied.
"How long did it take to get to the meadow," I questioned.
"About two hours," he answered.
"We have to go," I stated before getting up.
"Why Bella," I questioned.
"I told you that I've got to be at school before it ends," I stated before looking around to see which way we came. I couldn't find it because it all looked the same to me.
"Do you really have to go," he questioned. He seemed sad that I couldn't stay here longer with him.
"Yes, I do have to go," I hissed.
"It's this way," he sighed as he reached for my hand and directed me to the right way.
"Edward, I'm sorry for my attitude," I said after some silence. "It's just that—."
"It's what, Bella," he questioned.
"It's just that my uncle will be worried if I don't get home before he does," I lied. He didn't question it, and I was glad. We were soon out of at the car, and when he started it up, I looked at the time; it was almost four o'clock. "Shit," I mumbled as I ran a hand through my hair.
"What's wrong," he questioned.
"I'm going to be late by the time I get to school," I sighed as I started banging my head against the head rest. He stopped me though.
"I'll drop you off, and then we'll get the truck for you if you want," he suggested. I sighed and nodded. I handed him the keys, and then he was speeding down the highway.
Once we reached home, I started running in, and I was surprised by what I saw.
