EPOV

I woke up to Bella frantically pushing with all her might, trying to get away from me. I could hear the panic in her voice as she repeated 'No, No, No' over and over again.

'Hey, Beautiful...' I reached for her to try to wake her.

'Hey, hey, hey Baby...wake up...It's just a bad dream.' Fuck me...what's wrong? She seemed really disturbed by what was going on behind her closed eyes.

She finally opened her eyes and I could see the distress radiating from them and it struck me deep within, how upset she was.

She sat up, apologising for her bad dream about James. All I could think to do was to rub her back. I didn't know what to say. I didn't realise that adult's had nightmares that upset them...I mean, I have dreams all the time, but it usually involves Bella and I minus clothing...

She told me to go back to sleep but once I have opened my eyes, I don't go back to sleep easily and I could tell that she was feeling the same way, she was jittery.

'Want to try to go back to sleep or do you want some coffee?' I asked

We both opted for coffee, followed by a walk. After grabbing a couple of coffees to go, I took hold of Bella's hand, revelling in the fact that I could touch her whenever I wanted, and we walked up the back of the retreat to the same place we had gone last time, finding the same place to sit.

Bella sat down, watching the beautiful scenery before us, and I had the urge to not just sit beside her, but to be much closer than that, to be able to touch her and see what she sees. I sat behind her, my legs either side of her, and I asked her if she was cold.

'Nope, just deliriously happy!' she said as she leaned back into me. It was nice and I thanked Christ that I didn't have a hard on at that moment, but I wasn't promising that I wouldn't soon, being this close to her...

I leant forward marginally and kissed her shoulder. I couldn't help myself sometimes, it was just natural. I breathed in her scent and her warmth. She was just so beautiful, and I was turned on by her sensuality that she didn't seem to realise that she had. I realised from my vantage point that I could see down her top and her reaction to my kiss or nearness. Her nipples were saluting the sun and I could see for myself how responsive she was.

'So responsive.' I murmured

I kissed her neck and I felt my arousal grow. This woman did intense things to me, things no other person had ever done to me, or made me feel. She turned her face toward me and our mouths' met. Slowly, never breaking contact, we turned to face each other as we gradually sank down onto the soft grass beneath us. She felt soft and sensual in my arms and my desire was ever increasing.

All of my reasons for getting to know each other before racing into a physical relationship flew from my mind. This woman was everything I never knew I wanted. My hand found its way to her breast and I revelled in the feel of it, and the way she would arch her back, silently asking for more whenever I touched her more intimately. She moaned and feverishly I found more naked skin to kiss. Her throat was exposed to me and I began to kiss her there. God, she is hot. The skin beneath my lips felt almost as scorching as I felt inside...almost. I noticed her eyes were hooded in the passion of the moment and this turned me on even more for some reason. Panting, our lips met again in a blazingly fervent kiss.

Every touch she placed on me I was aware of. She brushed her hand over my abs, and feeling her explore my body was so erotic to me. I felt her hand move slowly, almost curiously toward my crotch. My cock was throbbing to the beat of my thumping heart and when she innocently, almost inquisitively began to touch me there, it was all I could do not to thrust into her hand and I groaned with the pleasure. I regretted my folly at not shooting a load off last night in the shower because now I felt almost ready to explode.

She found my mouth again and I was ravenous for her. I felt her hand creep up a little and then she did something so unexpected. She slipped her hand inside my pants to grasp me fully and she ran her hand up and down my length. I could feel the tightening begin and I knew I was close to making a mess until I heard something...

Breathing heavily with blood rushing in my ears, and desperate for air, I pulled away from the kiss for a moment, trying to still myself to listen...

I could hear talking...getting nearer...

Bella heard it too and we pulled apart and then sat up like guilty teenagers getting sprung by our parents. We reached for our forgotten coffee at the same time...ahhh, great minds think alike... and we acted as relaxed and laid-back as we could .

The walkers didn't come past us, but took a different direction and I breathed a sigh of relief. I glanced at Bella and I could tell that she felt the same. I knew the ramifications if we were caught by some of the patrons of the retreat and if they took the story back to Aro and Jane...they wouldn't be happy. This is a place for relaxation and connection to creation, not to have issues thrown in their face or to be disturbed by oversexed employees.

'I'm glad you heard that, I think I was getting carried away...you do that to me.' she whispered, flushing with a giggle, ducking her head.

'Bloody hell, I know! It's lucky we weren't caught!' I leaned in and kissed her lightly, smiling at her trying to conceal her slight embarrassment.

With crisis averted, I reached for Bella as we sank back on the grass once more. She laid her head on my shoulder, cuddling into my side, our shock at almost being caught earlier putting a timely dampener on our ardour. I wanted to just enjoy Bella's company while I could and I held her hand to my chest, revelling in this simple contact. She had a way of touching me deep down into my soul with only a look, or a few words or an undemanding innocent touch.

I was reminded of the song then, that I had thought of when I first saw her and I began to hum it very softly. It was a love song and I was amazed that I could remember all of the words, but it summed up everything I felt right now for this Beautiful girl I was with.

My song got to the chorus and I decided to sing it quietly. I was interested to know if she even knew the song...

'I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish

I'll be your fantasy.

I'll be your hope, I'll be your love,

Be everything that you need.

I'll love you more with every breath

Truly, madly, deeply do...hmm hmm

I want to stand with you on a mountain...

I want to bathe with you in the sea...

I want to stay like this forever...

until the sky falls down on me.'

She stayed quiet for a moment, and I wondered what she was thinking. I hoped she didn't think me a soft cock for singing to her, but it was just one of those 'in the moment' things.

She finally spoke and she said she loved it. She appeared genuinely moved. I wanted to show her my music collection, and she wanted to see it, so we headed back to the ranch to spend some time with some awesome tunes. Just as I suspected, Bella wanted to hear the song first hand that I had sung to her and she made me play it for her three times. I think this was possibly going to be 'our song.'

After about an hour, Emmet came knocking at the door, asking if we would like to have breakfast with everyone. He appeared to want us all to catch up. We were ready for some food so we all headed out. Bella bantered with Emmet, teasing him after he teased her on our way to the dining area. Something that struck me as incredibly odd, was what Emmet said as we were entering the dining room. He hadn't slept with Rosalie yet...? He said it was complicated? Something was going on there, but neither Bella nor I picked it up to discuss it while we were headed into breakfast. Rosalie, Alice and Jasper were already at the table waiting for us. We all grabbed plates and I gingerly took Bella's off her to get her some breakfast and she went to get the coffee, and then I joined Jasper and Emmet to grab some food.

'I haven't seen you so much for the last couple of days. When did you get so busy?' Jasper asked after watching me as I got Bella and myself some food.

'When him and Bella have been hanging out that's when.' Emmet butted in pointing his thumb toward me...

I laughed and jabbed Emmet in the ribs with my elbow. 'Thanks for that bro.' I said and then noticed both of them looking at me strangely.

'What?' I asked.

'Uh, nothing...you're happy...So... Bella eh?' Jasper said.

'Someone tried to break or did break into her room. She's staying with me for her safety.'

'Yeah right.' Both Emmet and Jasper said together, laughing at my obvious stretch of the truth, and Emmet even rolled his eyes.

'She can always stay with one of the girls...' Jasper said trailing off.

'She's safe where she is.' I said, quietly chuckling to myself at just how convenient it really was.

Emmet and Jasper laughed at me as we were walking back to the table and I just smiled. Nothing could wreck my good mood this morning.

'We are having a girl's night tonight!' Alice sung happily when we got to the girls... Except for perhaps that...

Emmet, Jasper and I looked at each another and Emmet said 'Well, what are we going to do then?'

Rosalie clasped his hand, smiling at her man and said 'You are all big boys, you work it out. How about watching a Van dam movie or something?'

'Awww, it's more fun if we are all together.' Emmet almost sounded like a whiney child.

'You guys will get sick of us if you spend every moment with us.' Bella said to us.

'That will never happen.' I said, lifting her hand and kissing the back of it. I really didn't think I could get sick of this amazing woman.

I noticed a pink blush rise in Bella's cheeks. I loved the innocence in her, but then again I love the responsive vixen in her too.

Did I just say Love?

I missed the look the others gave to each other as we all made small talk and ate our food. Bella ate most of hers and I was glad I had fixed her the food that she liked. Everyone finished and had to disappear to their various jobs and I was glad that Bella and I didn't have to start until a little later, even though we had to work longer into the evening, I was content just to be with her.

After Bella told me that she was going to stay over at Alice's that night and I got over the initial disappointment, we decided to go back and get ready for work. Bella had agreed to stay with me the following night so I would have to hold onto that and try to ignore the frustration of not having her with me tonight.

Bella left me to go next door and get herself a fresh uniform and I got dressed quickly. I was thinking about something nice to do for her...Her week off was coming up in a couple of days and I was thinking of taking her to the city. It was a few hours' drive, but maybe I could ask Aro if we could change my schedule around a little. I would iron out the details when I could find out what Bella was doing first.

She seemed to be taking a little while...

I grabbed my computer, starting it up and ran through my emails. I didn't get far when I noticed Bella at the doorway with her clothing from last night in one hand and a pasted smile on her face.

'What is it babe?' I stood and went to her. I could tell instantly that there was something wrong.

'Nothing. I'm all good. Are you ready already? Oh, you're on the computer, I can leave you be. I can start work a few minutes early anyway...'

'Sweetie, what is it? You don't usually say so much in one breath.' ...Something wasn't right...

'Uh, no, I'm fine.' She pasted another smile on her face.

'Is the window open again...what is it?' I was starting to feel concerned.

'No...no...it's just, you know how I had that dream last night...of James?'

'Yeah.'

'Well, he lit a match, and then threw it; and...in my room...on the floor...was a burnt match.'

'Okay.' I pulled her into my arms and held her. I didn't know what to say, I mean, she has every reason to be paranoid but...well...maybe a coincidence?

'I don't believe in coincidence and I don't use matches, and I didn't have any in my room and it wasn't there yesterday.' Bella finally finished.

'Well, we can ask Jane if she might know anything. Maybe someone brought it in on their shoe. There have been a few extra people in there in the last few days.' I said softly to her.

'It's ok Edward. It's probably nothing and I'm freaking out about nothing.' She mumbled.

'We can take it to the police if you want to?' I said, letting her know we would take this as seriously as she wanted.

'I'll catch up with Jane at some point. I'm ok now, I just freaked out for a second. Sorry.' She looked up at me apologetically.

'Never apologise for your feelings. They are yours and you own them and that is all there is to it beautiful.' I held her face in my hands and I kissed her mouth softly. She was so soft and her mouth tasted sweet, but before I could get too carried away, I remembered what I wanted to ask her.

'Babe, what are you doing for your week off?' I almost held my breath waiting for the answer.

'Well...I was thinking of visiting my mother in the city...but I'm not sure...maybe I could do that some other time. I just don't know at this point.'

'I was going to ask Aro about taking some time off with you. My week off is supposed to be directly after yours, so I was thinking if I moved my week up, then we could spend a few days together?'

'Can you do that?' She asked wide eyed and smiling.

'I can't see why not. We will just have to prep a little more, or I will and there is another chef there to keep things in order. This will give him a chance to run a kitchen for a few days. It will look good on his CV, so I guess it is a win, win situation!' I was proud of myself for thinking up a great reason as to why it was a brilliant idea, and I think I just convinced myself as well.

'Ok, cool! I would really like that! I can't wait!' She was glowing with excitement.

I was glad I could make her happy even when she wasn't feeling so great. I bent down and gave her a soft kiss, smiling back at her.

'I can't wait either beautiful, but right now, we should get going. I am hoping to catch Aro so he can sort things for me. I need to ask him how the news letters are coming along too, to see when we need to start getting the kitchen sorted.'

She nodded happily, obviously in a much better mood from minutes before, and as we left to walk over to the kitchen, she took hold of my hand. It was a simple gesture and so natural, but it was the first time she had made the first move to hold hands as we walked along and I loved that she seemed to love being with me.

We got to the kitchen and I whispered to Bella 'I'll be back in a sec.' and then I headed toward the Office to see what we could organise.

I knocked on the door and was bid to enter.

'Ahhh, Edward! How are you?' Aro looked up from some papers as I entered.

'Good Aro, and how are you?'

'I'm very well, thank you for asking. What can I do for you this fine hour?' He asked merrily.

'Ah, well...I've come to ask for a favour actually. Would it be possible if I move my week off up a little, like, maybe four days early?'

'That shouldn't be a problem.' Aro said as he turned to bring up a roster on the computer. 'Ahhh, Bella will still be on her week off then...'

'Er, yes, I was sort of hoping to have a few days with her in the city...She wants to visit her mother...' I trailed off. I wasn't quite sure whether he would go for it so I decided to use my spiel that I had sold to Bella... 'You see, the other chef could get some experience with running the kitchen, and it's not the weekend so it won't be as busy and I didn't really want to leave Bella on her own for too long due to the stalker...'I was finally out of reasons that I could think of immediately so I quietened and waited for Aro's response.

'Yes, I can see the merit in that...and we aren't over full those few days...' Aro was rubbing his chin, bringing a few spread sheets up on the computer at once. 'Are you happy with your day off where it is...?'

'Yes please, if that is ok.' My day off fell on Bella's first day of her break and I wanted to be able to drive her to her mother's place. There is no way I could risk anyone coming upon Bella while she was waiting alone at the bus station, and I was used to travel anyway.

'Ok Edward, I will grant you your wish, but you will have to get the kitchen staff ready for your absence, and if that means extra hours preparing the staff then that is how it needs to be.'

'I am sir.' I nodded. I would do almost anything to spend four days with the girl of my dreams, hopefully holed up in some hotel room... I snapped out of my thoughts when I remembered I wanted to ask about the changes to the kitchen menu and the surveillance cameras and if they had found any evidence.

'Just a quick question...Menu, changes and time line?'

'Ok, I thought we might start when yourself and Bella got back from your break. You will have a few extra days to prepare for it since you are taking your time off a little earlier so I guess that works out well for you all. Ah... I thought we might start off with cuisine that people are a little familiar with like Mexican or Italian and then move onto the French and Japanese styles when we have peoples interest. Does that sound ok?'

'It sounds perfect. I'll let everyone know to get ready for it. Uh, also...about the camera's...Did you find anything strange...anything at all...?'

I noticed Aro take a large breath and then he began carefully... 'Uh...I did find something...but I'm not sure what to make of it. I've sent the footage to the police but...maybe you should take a look...'

He brought something up on the screen and then turned the screen toward me. There was darkness and then something on the screen began to move. It became a bright white light as the sensor lights came on and then, in a flash, it was gone.

'What am I looking at here Aro.' I said squinting at the screen as the image played on a continuous loop. It looked like...I don't even know...maybe a dark shadow that turns into bright white with the light and then it disappears... What the hell?

'I'm not sure Edward, but it is all we have. It's almost nothing really, but it shows that there was something there that night. We don't have cameras on the back of the employee's rooms, but maybe we should...We just have never had this problem before, and I've never even heard of it happening to other people either. I mean, I know there are crazy people out there but why this ranch? Why this girl? I don't even understand it.' Aro scrubbed his face with his hands and it was then that I noticed he wasn't as immaculately presented as he normally was. His jaw was lined with a little stubble and he looked like he had dark circles beneath his eyes.

'Nor do I.' I murmured, shaking my head slowly.

'This isn't good for business Edward, if the word gets out. Hopefully after Bella's week off, it will all blow over.'

'Yeah, you and me both.' I said. I was a little annoyed that he was more worried about the business than Bella and I'm sure he didn't mean it that way, but I was so concerned that Bella would want to leave again, I wanted to make everything ok. 'Erm, are there less bookings coming in?' I asked tentatively.

'No, not at the moment, but they can cancel...' Aro said said, swivelling the computer screen back around to where it was before. 'I really don't want this to get out too publicly. It's not good for our reputation.'

'We will keep it under wraps.' I promised. 'Bella hasn't even told her parents.'

'I appreciate that Edward, although, I felt sure that Bella would have told her mother something, since that was where she was headed when she decided to leave.'

'No, she hadn't told her mother that she was coming at that point.'

'Oh, well it's a good thing that Jane went to get her then wasn't it?'

'In more ways than one.' I said.

'It's lovely to see that you and Bella are getting along so well after her distress.'

'Uh, yeah...there was just a huge misunderstanding...it's all sorted now. She is a really great girl.' I didn't want to rave about her to Aro, but I just had to put that in.

'Yes, so I have heard...You seem different Edward...happy.' Aro nodded at his statement while watching me with his all knowing eyes.

'I am. I feel like I am doing something positive. Bella and I have been getting on really well too.'

'Yes, so I have seen.'

What? Oh, of course...the cameras...THE CAMERAS!

Mentally I tried to remember where all of the cameras were and whether there was one that watched the pool...there would have to be one, right?

Fuck! I think we're busted.

They would have seen it because they were trying to find the footage of the break and enter.

Aro was watching me as realisation dawned on my face. Stunned, I glanced up at him waiting for his response to what I now knew that he knew.

'I deleted certain footage.' He said matter of fact. All I could do was stare... What could I say? Aro continued 'The footage wasn't overly visible, but I got the general gist of things. I thought it best that it didn't accidentally get out there. You know how these things get sensationalised.'

'Uh, thank you Aro... I'm not sure what to say...I know it probably looked really bad but we were only kissing...' I trailed off.

'It is your business Edward. I am glad you both have worked things out. Jane said she had a feeling that you were both interested in each other...'

'Yeah, since the first time I saw her.' I murmured.

'Well, just be aware that there are cameras out there and we don't normally go through these things unless there is an incident of some kind, but...well...I wouldn't like these things to get out there...for your sake...and Bella's of course.'

'Thank you Aro. That was really decent of you.' I said, thankful that I wouldn't be seeing it for the first time when my friends discovered it on Youtube. I wanted to get out from under the knowing gaze of Aro and I realised I had been away from the kitchen for a while, so I said...

'I'd better be getting back. Thank you again for everything Aro.' Gratitude mixed with embarrassment warring within me.

'Of course. Don't mention it Edward. You are two dear friends and we want the best for our staff.'

I guess it helps that the kitchen is very well known too for its amazing food. It probably wouldn't be good for anyone if that sort of thing got out.

I quickly made my way back to the kitchen, trying to think how I would tell Bella the embarrassing news and trying to think up something to tell the staff about the change of menu and theme. I would probably tell Bella later about the pool footage after work so it wouldn't disrupt her or upset her for the rest of the day. I had happy news for her too so I needed to decide whether to tell her the good, bad or the ugly first.

The kitchen was abuzz with activity when I returned. Bella had taken control in my absence and everything flowed smoothly. I stopped at the door way, leaning on the door frame and just watched the workings. I smiled to myself; random thoughts of Bella and I opening our own restaurant together one day running through my mind, and then, as if she could feel the weight of my stare, Bella looked up, catching me smiling.

My smile was infectious because Bella's eyes lit up with curiosity as she smiled wide and shrugged her shoulders, putting her hands up with and silently mouthed 'Well?'

I put two thumbs up at her and strolled toward her to tell her the good news.

'We're on! I'll take you to your mothers place and return here, then I'll come for you after a couple of days and maybe we can go somewhere nice and stay for a while if you like. Will that be enough time with your mother? It was just an idea...what do you think?'

Bella squealed and bounced up and down, clapping her hands twice, her eyes dancing with happiness. She looked more radiant than I had ever seen her before, she was breathtaking and I loved watching her like this. She grabbed my hands in hers, kissed me quickly and grinned again.

'This is going to be so fun; thank you Edward. Thank you.' She said quietly but excitedly.

'It is my pleasure babe. I can't wait either.'

'I thought for sure Aro was going to say no! You were in there for ages!'

'Oh, no, we were talking menu and what not. I'll tell you more about it later but I do need to announce it to the staff as well so we all know. I'll tell you the rest later, in private.'

'Ok' she nodded with a smile, letting go of my hands.

I turned to address the staff and as I turned, I noticed immediately the same guy hanging around closely, listening in I assume.

'You...what's your name?' I asked the young fellow, pointing at him.

'Reily.' He said not offering any more information than that.

'Ok, Reily, I want you to stay down that end of the kitchen and help with the desserts. It's good to learn new skills.'

'But I...'

'No, no, don't thank me.' I turned away from Reily's protests to address everyone and I noticed they were all watching the unusual exchange between us. 'Listen up everyone. We are all going to be learning new skills soon and we need to get out of the square or our comfort zone so to speak. There will be some changes to the menu and to the out lay of the restaurant dining area. Nothing major but we are going to offer different cuisines from around the world, month by month, eventually rotating them. I want new recipes if anyone wants to share old family secrets, please write them down and give me your ideas. The changes will take place in two and a half weeks from today I believe, unless I tell you otherwise. Ok, that is all. Something for you to think about, you may return back to your tasks.' I dismissed the kitchen staff and everyone went back to their jobs as Reily slunk back down to the other end of the kitchen, cutting a glance at us as he left. I didn't think he was too happy about being told to do a different job, but I wasn't happy about him hovering around. I made a mental note to keep a bit more of an eye on him in future. Something seemed out of place with him, but I didn't know what. I turned to see Bella smiling at me.

'I love it when you take control.' She grinned impishly at me.

'Just you wait little missy, just you wait.' I murmured in her ear wickedly. I felt her give a little shiver and I reminded myself to make our break extra special. I had a feeling that our time together was going to be perfect and I made a mental note to look up nice resorts or hotels while Bella was at Alice's tonight. I would surprise her.

We both got busy and I soon lost myself in my work, always aware of where Bella was in the room and what she was doing, stealing glances at her as she worked.

How did I get so lucky?

Two weeks ago, if you had have told me we would be like this, I would have to tell you it was absolute rubbish. I couldn't wait to take her away for a few days. I was so looking forward to it and I felt really excited. I hadn't felt excited about anything in years. I was itching to get to a computer but I told myself to wait a little longer...tonight... maybe Bella going to Alice's was a blessing in disguise...

The day went quickly and we were soon leaving the kitchen, Bella grabbing a left over large chocolate tart on the way for tonight with the girls. I smiled, she looked genuinely happy. I hadn't seen her like this...well...ever. I was happy that I had something to do with it too. We made our way back to my room, Bella showering and changing into her sleep wear from the night before. I went to her and put my arms around her and kissed her sweet soft lips.

'Are you sure you want to leave me all alone tonight? I think I'm going to miss you...' I said in between kisses.

'I do like your room much better...but...I promise I'll come back. Maybe we can do breakfast in the morning together?' She asked hopefully.

'Sounds perfect...now you go have fun with the girls.' I smiled at the beautiful specimen in my arms, hugging her closer to me.

'Thank you. I think I will.' She gave me one last kiss before picking up the tart that she had left on the coffee table and making her way to the door.

'Oh...and what was that thing that you said earlier...that you were going to tell me tonight?'

The memory of what Aro said jumped to mind immediately and I stuttered 'um...don't worry about it...just...enjoy your night...ok?'

She put the tart back down on the coffee table and walked over to me slowly. Her eyes never leaving mine; they were lit up with curiosity. I knew she wasn't going to leave it tonight, so I took her hands in mine and sat on the couch, pulling a surprised Bella onto my lap. I liked this position, it felt intimate.

'What is it Edward? Is it bad?'

'It's a matter of how you look at it I guess.'

'Well, tell me and I'll decide how bad it is.'

'The cameras...?'

'Oh my god, they caught something?'

'Bella... I didn't even think or have any idea that this would be an issue...'

'Just spit it out Edward.' She said grinning and poking me lightly in the chest.

'They have been searching the footage for something, anything out of the ordinary and Aro found something ...us...in the pool...remember?'

Her face remained impassive and then I watched as her expression changed and her face betrayed her emotions as she remembered exactly what I was talking about... she then buried her face in my shoulder in embarrassment and I held her, smiling at her reaction. I knew how she felt.

'Oh Edward. How can I ever show my face again? Aro has seen me naked...and...and...us...together!'

I cupped her chin and gently turned her pink face to look at me. 'Look, Aro deleted it and if I understand correctly, no one else saw it. He said you could hardly see anything anyway. But it's gone now. He didn't want it to get out any more than we do. It's not good for business or OUR reputations.'

'Oh, ok.' She said in a small voice.

'I'm sorry babe. I wanted to leave it until you had had your fun tonight. I don't want to put a dampener on your evening with your friends.' I kissed her softly gently sucking on her bottom lip trying to get her to understand that it will all be ok. 'If it makes you feel any better, I was quite mortified at first too.'

'It's ok Edward. I may just have to avoid Aro for the rest of my life but I'll survive.' She rolled her eyes and shrugged one shoulder.

'Oh, Miss Drama! Your first porno and it was deleted!' I teased her because she looked so embarrassed by the news and I wanted her to lighten up and have a good time with the girls.

'Ooohhh, you've had time to get over it. Does Jane know?' she asked, slapping me on my arm gently.

'I didn't ask. Like I said, I was embarrassed too. I wasn't feeling like asking too much, I was just thankful that Aro got rid of it so no one else could watch it.'

'Yeah, we can be grateful for small things I guess.'

I wanted to kiss the pout off her lips and I got a few good ones in before she broke away to say...

'I'd better go. I would love to stay here all night making out with you but the girls a wait!' She scrambled off my lap and I swatted her bottom playfully...hmmm...her bottom was very nice...

She grabbed her tart and turned to kiss me softly. 'I'll miss you.' She murmured.

'I'll definitely miss you too Beautiful.' I kissed her again, a warm feeling cloaking me. 'Want me to walk you?' I wanted to be with her until the last minute.

'It's only a few doors down...but ok!' She smiled again holding the tart in one hand and grabbing mine in the other.

It was only moments and then we were at Alice's door. The door suddenly swung open and Alice was there ushering Bella inside excitedly. 'We've been waiting for you! Come in, come in!'

We grabbed another kiss and then Alice pulled her inside to begin whatever they had planned for the evening calling out 'Bye Edward!' I watched as the door closed and I caught my last glimpse of Bella happily waving to me. I made my way back to my room, to get onto my computer and check out places to surprise Bella with. I turned my laptop on and while it was loading up I showered and changed, even brushing my teeth so I could spend my time on the computer.

I searched through all of the possibilities...until I came up on the perfect place...

Total privacy and 280 acres.

Sooooo, what do you think?

Also, my stupid fingers typed last week...FL95's name wrong...so if you want to read amazing stories, go there and check it out. Tell her I sent you as well as Hollywood2Brooklyn. Go read her stuff too.

I have to say, Edward wallbanger by feathersmmmm is amazingly good. I wait with bated breath for her next chapter.

Ok. I'll try to update asap. Still working on chap 17 and I have an exam on Monday, and working for the rest of the week, so can't promise that I will be able to get it done, but I promise I will try...I just can't wait for Bella and Edward to have a mini holiday together!
