Chapter 8 - Our Little Piece Of Heaven
I decided as we walked along the very uneven path, that I wouldn't think about Friday. I couldn't bear to imagine what that day will be like; I even shuddered at the thought. Don't think about it, don't think about it!
"Bellaaa?" I looked around to see Edward had stopped a few metres back. Damn I zoned out again. He had that cheeky, crooked grin on his face, and I couldn't help but inwardly swoon. Bad Bella!
I could feel my cheeks heat up as I walked back towards Edward, embarrassed that I had just continued walking off into the dangerous woods. Well for me anyway. By the time I had wandered back to Edward, I swear my face was the colour of a strawberry. It didn't exactly stem Edwards' quiet chuckles.
"Hey why are you laughing?" He may be my best friend, and I may possibly like him more than I should, but I can still get annoyed with him.
He chuckled for a little longer. "You're just too cute Bella, that's why." The smile that crossed his face was almost sad, but only if you knew him well, like I did, would you be able to tell.
But wait. He said I'm too cute. Too cute! Ay carumba, I can't take much more of this. Did Edward think of me as more as friend too? No he can't its impossible...well fairly.
"Look, Edward, where exactly are we going? I am missing school you know." I raised my eyebrow at him in a very bad attempt to change the subject.
"Well if you want I can take you back to school...." He started walking back in the direction of the car with a smug smile on his face. I couldn't stop myself.
"NO!" That made him jump. "No... I mean I don't want to go back to school, just tell me where we're going in case I get lost or something." I mumbled the last bit, realising it was one of the worst excuses in the world. Caaalm Bella, caaaaaaaalm!
"No." He turned back round, brushed passed me and walked towards a gap in the trees.
"No? B-but why wont you tell me?" I was so confused, and I tried to pull the puppy-dog face to get him to tell me.
He poked his head out behind a tree. "It's a surprise, and you won't find out until you follow me." That stupid crooked grin. I simply couldn't resist.
I followed Edward through the trees, the smells and the sounds of nature surrounding me. Although my heart was hammering in my rib cage, it made me strangely calm...or was that just Edward? As I wound my way through the trees and bushes that secretly wanted to hurt me and trip me up (I really don't like nature that much), I felt Edwards hands cover my eyes as he crept up behind me.
Before I could say anything, Edward whispered slowly into my ear, "Don't peek Bella. Just follow my lead." Has someone plugged my butt into a plug socket or something? It felt like electricity was shooting up my spine and straight into my brain.
Edward nudged me to go forward, so I slowly put one foot in front of the other and breathed nice and deeply. I could feel Edwards mouth at my ear, "Stop." Corr his whispering is making my legs turn into jelly. What is wrong with me? Why is he affecting me so much? Is it the trees? Is it the fact that we're alone in the middle of the woods with no one else around? Probably yes.
Edward slowly trailed his hands from my eyes down to my shoulders and down my arms. At first, I didn't take in the beautiful site in front of me because of Edwards' warm and gentle touch that completely distracted me. Darn. When I looked around properly, when I took in the beauty and the mysticism of where we were, I swear we had landed in heaven.
"This Bella," Edward stood next to me and held my hand in his. "Was where I came when you..." I noticed him pause to swallow and take a deep breath in. "When you were gone." And we just stood there, looking round the area. It was breathtaking.
When you first entered from the little passage, the first thing you saw was a humongous fallen tree that had branches pointing to the sky; it looked like giant archway with a seat in the middle of it...a seat perfect for a couple. A thick lining of trees surrounded us like a protective fence, stopping the outside world invading this piece of heaven, and the thousands of flowers all on the ground made this little grotto smell so nice and calming, it felt like you were dreaming.
But in the centre, the part that wasn't nature's handiwork was a small blanket with cushions, and a picnic set all set out and ready to be used. Around our 'protective fence' were fairy lights all dotted up and down it, to light up the darkened parts of the area. Wow...
"Edward, I..." I turned round and hugged him, tears coming to my eyes. "Is this for me?" I tried not to get his shirt wet but I really couldn't help it.
Edward hugged me back, cradling me in his arms. "Yes Bella. All of it...everything is for you. I wanted you to have a day with me you would never forget."
I was so happy and grateful for what Edward had done, but in the end, this will be the day I will never be able to forget when I'm away from him. This will be the most difficult memory of them all.
Review!! Pweeeeeease!
