AN: I should get kudos points for writing this while I was sick.

All right, here's the third day. Enjoy!

Sunset

BPOV

I had always had a secret fascination with watching the sun set. The blend of majestic colors stretching across the sky as the source of life slowly sunk out of view. The feeling that, even though the day was coming to an end, it held the promise that there was another day, full of more opportunities ahead of us.

During one of his random questionings, Edward must have discovered my fascination with sunsets. However, since I barely remember half of what he asks me – since it felt so much like a psychiatrist questioning – I wasn't sure.

Edward and I had spent a pleasant day together, just one of those where we talked about everything and nothing. It was so nice, and simple, I had completely forgotten that this week was our "special" romantic week together.

It was sometime in the afternoon that he reminded me.

"Bella, would you be so kind as to go get ready for this evening?"

"Ready for what?"

"My romantic surprise?" He smiled at me, pulling me close to him.

"Oh! What's the plan for today?" I reached up, stealing a quick kiss.

"We are going on a hike."

I pulled back, giving him my 'are you kidding me?' look.

"Please, Bella? I promise it'll be a fully romantic and money-free experience."

"Edward!" I whined. "You know me! Klutz and hiking don't go well together."

He pulled me close again, his forehead pressed against mine. I closed my eyes, his scent suffocating my senses.

"Bella, love, did you really forget that I'm a vampire?" He growled softly, as if trying to prove a point. I giggled. "And that I won't let anything hurt you; whether it be rock, or stone, or hanging branches."

"But…" He silenced me with a not-so-quick kiss, pulling back with a smile.

"Do you really want to miss out on what I have planned for a romantic evening?"

"I guess not… but only if there will be kissing."

He chuckled, gracing me with yet another not-so-quick kiss.

"Of course. Now, go get your hiking shoes."

I reluctantly ran up the stairs, sticking out my tongue in a very Emmett-like-way as I went.

Unlike the first hike we had taken together (to the meadow), Edward headed more in the direction of the coast. The sun was up, of which I had expressed my concern, but Edward assured me that there would be nothing to worry about.

He parked, and opened the door for me in his normally gentleman nature. I pouted at him, peering out into the forest skeptically.

"Come on Bella. It's not like the forest will bite."

"That's what you think."

He smirked, half-pulled me out of the car, and tried to kiss the fear out of me. He pulled away, looking questioningly into my eyes.

"You better hold my hand the entire time." I murmured. He chuckled, and led me into the forest.

We had just entered into the shadow of the trees when I realized that there was a path a few feet away, and we were not taking. I looked up at my fiancé.

"Do you have some intense fear of paths or something?" He looked at me questionably, noticed the path to the side, and started laughing.

"No, I think paths are nice. But true beauty is on the unbeaten path."

I smiled at his words, thinking how amazing Edward could be as a world-famous poet or something. I wondered how he would respond to the idea. The family didn't need the money, but if he wrote as an anonymous author, he could really write some amazing works.

Coming out of my thoughts, I took a better look at the scenery around us.

"Oh!" I let out a small gasp. Edward quickly turned to me.

"Bella? Are you ok?"

I nodded, still transfixed by the sight before my eyes.

"Look at how the sunlight comes through those trees. It's just…"

"Beautiful."

I smiled at him, nodding. Maybe this hiking thing wasn't such a terrible thing after all.

"I guess it's one of those things that you don't really appreciate until you're surrounded by it. When you really take the time to see it all, to wonder what makes it happen, and how we're so lucky to experience the moment."

"You, love, are simply incredible."

I looked up at his crooked smile. Once again, the view I was graced with was something to take my breath away. A small stream of sunlight was glittering off his skin, causing him to have the slightest of sparkles.

"Says the one who just took my breath away."

He smiled and swept me into his arms – again. I had the feeling that this was becoming a habit. Not that I minded in any way.

"You took my breath away long ago, it's about time I was able to do the same to you."

I chuckled, shaking my head.

"You need some more self-esteem, silly vampire."

"The day you admit you're the most beautiful creature I have ever laid eyes on."

I blushed – who wouldn't after being told something like that? It amazed me how much he really loved me. I had once doubted this, but now I knew without a doubt that he loved me; not for some shallow, stupid reason, but he loved the person I was and who I was trying everyday to be. Just how I loved him. True, his unbelievably good looks were a definite advantage. But it was who he was that made me truly fall in love with him. His soul – which I truly believed he had – was so pure and spectacular. It amazed me how beautiful he was, inside and out.

We walked on, still taking the time to notice all the beauty and wonder that was around us. I continued to think about how lucky I was to have such an amazing fiancé. Sometimes we talked, but mostly we were surrounded by a comfortable silence that matched the beauty around us.

It wasn't too hard to guess when we had arrived at the location. The forest suddenly ended, and Edward led me out into the sunlight. A few feet from the trees was a magnificent cliff. Looking over the edge, I could see the swirling ocean far below, the ocean crashing against the rocks with thunder and laced edges. I looked up at down the edge of the cliff, where there was no one in sight. Which probably explained why my vampire fiancé wasn't worried about standing next to me in the shining sunlight.

I turned to him, once again amazed by his simple and yet phenomenal self.

"What do you think?"

I smiled; surprised he even had to ask.

"It's beautiful. What more can be said? I love it."

We smiled at each other, caught up in the moment. Then he leaned down, catching my lips in a sensitive kiss. He pulled back with a smirk.

"I promised kissing, did I not?"

"You most certainly did. Get back here!"

He caught up my lips again, our passion connected at our lips and flowing through our bodies. All the beauty I knew was in his soul came out and danced on his lips, allowing me to drink in every bit of it.

It was when Edward kissed me that I was truly able to feel that beauty Edward was always insisting I had. Somehow, Edward kissing me like I was a priceless, porcelain doll pulled this beauty out of me and showed it for the world to see.

Edward pulled back with his crooked smile, looking as if he had read my thoughts while we had kissed, and had heard the revelation I had had about my internal beauty. Rather then say anything, he simply turned me around to look out over the ocean to the horizon.

The sun was just resting on the top of the ocean; appearing as if it was balancing on the edge of the world. It glowed like an orange globe, casting it's light on the water, the opposite of a shadow. Standing behind me, Edward's arms wrapped around my waist as I looked out over the water. I was at a lost for words, amazed how beautiful the sight before me was, and grateful for having such a caring boyfriend who would remember something so trivial, and then would do all he could to present such a phenomenal scene to me.

After the sun had completely submerged beneath the waves, I turned to Edward.

"Thank you." I said, my voice still breathy with awe.

"For what?"

"For this, for you, for everything." I smiled up at him.

He thought about my words for a moment, then smiled brightly back down at me.

"Thank you."

It was my turn to be slightly confused. "Not to be redundant, but for what?"

"Not to be redundant, but: for this, for you, for everything." I chuckled, and he smirked at his clever banter.

"I love you." He pulled me in for another kiss.

"Forget being redundant, I love you too." I pulled myself up to his lips, losing myself in the beauty of the moment.

AN: Teehee! I just had to add that last little bit with being "redundant", or else it would have driven me crazy with them repeating each other and not acknowledging it.

So… love it? Hate it? Want to burn me at stake, or make me your Queen? LOL – all reviews are always loved, but please be nice.

I want everyone's opinion. Would laying out in the meadow to watch the stars be too redundant, considering what they just did in this chapter? They wouldn't do this until later on in the week, but… redundancy is cute when Bella and Edward are saying cute things, but it can be annoying for the situation in a story. Let me know!

Also, any and all suggestions are still muchly needed and loved.

I'm getting some really great ideas for up-coming stories, but I want to finish this one first. Or else I'll abandon it forever, and it will come back one day to haunt me.
