A/N – Sorry for the delay! Here you go!

Thanks as always to Tiggrmommi and I don't own.

We both jumped when a knock on the door brought us back to reality. We had been lost in the moment on the balcony and I suddenly realized that I was famished. The server rolled in a cart piled with trays and set them on the table. He took out two candles from somewhere on the cart and lit them. Edward came from behind me and pulled the chair out for me. He pushed my chair in and placed a kiss on my neck before he began removing lids off the plates that had been placed on the table. There was chicken, fish, steak, salad, bread, fruit and it just went on and on. I'm not sure how much he thought I was capable of eating but it was obvious that he wasn't quite sure what I would like so he ordered everything. I placed a little of this and a little of that on my plate and began to eat.

I wasn't sure what we should talk about now. Mundane things like the weather and our plans for tomorrow seemed pointless but then what was left?

"What would you like to do tomorrow?" We had both been silent for a few minutes as we ate and he decided to make the first move.

"I haven't really thought about it. I want to check with my mom to see if she had anything she wanted to do," I was feeling a little bad about completely deserting her during this trip.

"Actually my mother and Renee have made plans for the day. My father is going golfing with some friends in the area so she was going to be all alone. So we have the day all to ourselves so I'm at your disposal my lady," he smiled at me and then took a large bite of his asparagus.

"I have no idea. You are the one who has been here before so we don't you surprise me?" He got a serious look on his face and got up from his seat and came over to me.

"I rather like how this surprise turned out today," he pulled my chair out and lifted me to him. "I hope you've had enough to eat." I'm not sure what sort of answer I gave in my dazed state but apparently it was the right one because he lifted me up and carried me to the room. He placed me back down in the middle of the bed and untied my robe. It fell away from my body leaving me exposed to him.

"You are beautiful," he crossed the room and turned off the overhead light leaving only the lamp shining on the bed next to us. He removed his clothes before joining me on the bed. He began exploring me with his mouth. He started at my feet and moved up to my lips. My entire body was trembling by the time his lips met mine. "We won't do anything you don't want to do Bella. Just tell me to stop and I will."

"Don't stop, please don't stop," and there was no more conversation after that. He used his tongue in ways that I had never imagined and left me in a state of bliss that I had never even thought was possible. I heard the ripping of the foil package as he shifted away from me. He came back and kissed me again before looking to me before he continued. I moved my hips closer to his wanting to feel him in me again.

This time when he moved inside me there was hardly any pain and I moved with him instead of just staying still. I wouldn't say that if felt amazing but it was much better than the last time. We spent the rest of the night in and out of bed. We ate a little bit more and eventually at about 3 in the morning we fell asleep in each other's arms. I woke with a start at 6 in the morning and tried to get out of bed but his arms tightened around me.

"Edward, I have to get back to my room before my mom wakes up," he let me go and I ran around the room searching for my clothes. He followed me out of the room and helped me to get dressed.

"Do you want me to walk you back to your room," he started looking around for his clothes but I stopped him.

"No, get some rest. I'm going to try to get some sleep. I'll call you later on," I kissed him on the cheek and walked to the door. He stopped me before I reached the door.

"I'll be thinking of you," he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me goodbye.

I left his room and made my way back to my own. Renee was still snoring softly so I changed into a t-shirt and crawled into bed. It seemed like only minutes later that the light came on and Renee began moving around the room. I pulled the pillow over my head and tried to go back to sleep.

"Bella honey how was your date? I tried to wait up for you but I have a big day planned with Esme so I gave up," she pulled my pillow off my head and I was forced to actually talk to her.

"It went great mom. I had a very nice time," I pulled my pillow back from her and covered my head again.

"So you are actually admitting it was a date now are you?" Leave it to my mom to focus in on that.

"Yes mom I admit it. I had a great time but now I must sleep," I burrowed into my pillow and finally went back to sleep. When my eyes opened again it was quiet in the room. I looked at the clock and realized it was already 10 o'clock. I rushed into the shower and got ready for the day before calling Edward.

"I was wondering if you were ever going to wake up," he chuckled into the phone.

"Sorry apparently I was really tired," I tried to stifle a yawn.

"I can't imagine why?" We both laughed and he said he would be at my room in a few minutes.

Seconds later there was a knock on the door and he was standing there waiting for me.

"Well Sleeping Beauty I had a whole day planned for us but we missed it," I started to apologize but he stopped me with his lips.

"No, don't worry I made alternate plans," he grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door. He seemed excited so I just followed behind him and didn't ask any questions.

We walked away from the hotel and down the street to the water where a boat was docked offering tours of the island. Edward paid and we boarded the boat and waited for the others to board. Edward had his arm around me the entire time we were on the boat. He pointed out different landmarks for me as we went along. The warm sun beat down on us and I shed my sweater and we sat down on a bench and looked out over the water.

"So what would you like to do after this?" He smiled down at me and kissed the top of my head.

"Well I was thinking room service sounded nice."

Neither of us could get off that boat soon enough.

We spent the rest of the day in his room. I know that there were many beautiful things to see in this country that I would probably never visit again but I couldn't bring myself to regret anything. This was something I wasn't looking for and hadn't expected to find so I was going to enjoy it for the remaining 36 hours that I had. Every time I looked at a clock I panicked slightly knowing that with each tick of the second hand we were getting closer to our impending departure. Like I had said before I didn't want to think about what would happen after this trip was over. I had meant what I said about no regrets. I just wanted to enjoy this for what it was and then go back home. I was excited about college and the new adventures that awaited me there. I would never regret what had happened here and I could only hope that he felt the same way.

I returned to my room before my mom was scheduled to come back and we had dinner together that night. We discussed her day with Esme and how much fun she had had while she asked surprisingly little questions about Edward. I knew her well enough to know that that wasn't a good sign but she seemed to be satisfied with not pressing me any further about him.

We decided to go for a walk later on that night and I enjoyed just spending time with my mother. Although I wanted to spend every moment possible with Edward my relationship with my mother was changing too. I was going away to college and from this point on I would be independent. Although our relationship hadn't always been the typical mother/daughter relationship it was ours and I would miss it.

"Bella I know you have always seemed older than your years but I don't want to see you get hurt," she had stopped walking and I decided to just hear out what she had to say. I had hoped that we could avoid this conversation but I should have known better.

"Mom, I'm fine," I looked her in the eyes. "I know you probably think that I am being impulsive right now but I wouldn't do anything stupid I promise. Please just trust me," apparently she saw something in my eyes that made her feel better because she started walking again.

We got back to the hotel and we found Edward sitting in the lobby waiting for us.

"Renee it is nice to see you again," he held out his hand to her and she blushed as his fingers wrapped around her hand. "Would you mind terribly if I borrowed Bella?"

"Not at all I was just heading to bed. You two have a good time," she gave me a hug and wished us goodnight and just like that we were alone again. "I won't be waiting up," she whispered in my ear.

"I missed you," he pulled me to his side as we stood there. "Would you like to go somewhere? See something?"

"No not at all," and just like that we were back in his room again. The majority of my vacation had been spent here lately. As we lay side by side in bed he asked me the question that I had been dreading.

"Bella what happens now? How do we keep this going once we go back?" He turned on his side to look at me and his fingers traced my cheekbone.

"We don't," he started to protest. He was shaking his head back and forth vigorously. "Edward listen to me. This is what we both agreed to from the beginning. We are both starting college in a few weeks. Now isn't the time to try to attempt a long distance relationship," he was still shaking his head. "Really Edward? What are we going to do? Promise to visit each other on the weekends? Try to make this work? It isn't feasible Edward that is why we both promised that there would be no strings attached. It isn't fair to expect either of us to make this work."

"Why can't we try Bella? We don't even know where we are going to be going to college we could be closer than you think," I cut him off again.

"Is that fair though to give either of us hope? We could be across the country from each other. I want to just enjoy this Edward. I want to appreciate every second that we have together. Can you please just try to do that?"

And even though I could tell that he wanted to argue with me and that he didn't agree with what I had just said he nodded.

"I'm doing this for you Bella. I don't agree but I will go along with it not because I want to but because I want to be with you and for now that is enough."

He kissed me with all the passion and longing he had inside and even some of the anger he felt right now. He grabbed a condom off the night table and rolled it on. He rolled me until I was facing away from him. He placed his head against mine and lifted my leg onto his. He shifted me so that he could push inside me and I pushed against him to force him deeper into me. He moved his hand until he was caressing my breast and kissed along my head and back.

We moved together frantic and needy. We both knew that time was running out and so every stroke and every thrust with filled with longing. I wanted to sear this into my memory so that I would never forget. I never wanted to forget the way that his hands felt on me or the way he felt as he moved inside me. Soon my memories would be all that I had and they would just have to be enough.

With his arms wrapped around me I drifted off to sleep.
