I sat in Edwards's car, my hands gripping the black leather seats as we sped down the highway.
"You want to slow down a bit?" I asked through gritted teeth.
"Bella, Bella, Bella." He said shaking his head. He looked over at me. "When are you ever going to learn that I drive at a speed I can handle?" He continued to look at me.
"Whatever, eyes back on the road buddy." Doing as he was told Edward turned his focus back to the road.
"We're almost there anyway." He said as we turned into a small road. He slowed down as the car manoeuvred it's was over the hard packed dirt beneath the tyres.
"Is this it?" I asked once we'd pulled up. We had pulled up into a small, deserted dirt car park.
"Do you ever listen?" Edward asked as we got out of the car. "I told you it was a short hike and then we'd be there."
"You didn't say hike." I said paling at the thought of injuries to come. "You said stroll."
"Well maybe I stretched the truth a bit!" Edward said with a roll of his eyes while he opened the trunk. He tossed me some hiking boots. "Don't worry. I came prepared." We'd stopped at the Cullen's house after breakfast so that Edward could change his clothes, he must've grabbed the boots then I thought.
"Where did you get these?" I asked checking the tongue of the boots. "They're my size." Edward shrugged.
"Alice has a lot of shoes lying around." He flashed me my favourite crooked grin. "Are you able to put them on or do you want me to help." I blushed as I shook my head. I pulled of my trainers and pushed my feet into the boots, tying them tightly. I stood up. "Are we ready to go or what?" I asked.
"Okay, we start over here." Edward said leading me over towards the wood, in the opposite direction from the trail.
"Whoa! Hang on their one second. We're not going on the trail?" I asked momentarily panicked.
"The trail," Edward scoffed, "Is a load of crap. It takes you no where interesting. While this way on the other hand…" he trailed off suggestively and nudged me lightly in the back, pushing me forward. I sighed, deciding I better trust him, and we walked onwards.
As we walked further into the woods, the denser the trees got together. The sunlight streamed through the leafy canopy. The day was getting warmer, a rare occurrence in Forks, but it was shaded here under the trees.
"It's like the rest of the world doesn't exist." I said looking up at Edward. He smiled.
"Yeah, it really is beautiful." Edward said looking down at me. "Bella, I…" I screamed as I fell to the ground. In less than a second Edward was crouching down by my side.
"Bella! Are you okay?" He said pulling my face up towards his. "How many fingers am I holding up?"
"Two, Edward. I'm fine. Nothing but my prides hurt." Edward stood up and reached out a hand to help me up. Once we were standing he didn't let my hand go. I looked down at our intertwined fingers.
"I don't want you to fall again." Edward said, smiling heart-breakingly at me. This boy was genuinely going to be the death of me. I wondered if he could hear my heart pounding in my chest. We continued walking through the woods, hand in hand, I lost track of time but I could see the sun shift in the sky, so I knew a couple of hours had passed. I saw some light as opposed to trees in front of us.
"Is that it up there? The place we're heading." I asked gesturing with my free hand to the light up ahead.
"That's it. You're going to love it." Edward said with a smile. We stepped into a small clearing and I gasped. Before us was the most beautiful meadow I had ever seen. The grass was lush and green. Small wild flowers grew in clusters around the edges. It was like a little piece of heaven.
"Edward," I said breathily, "This, this, is j-just…"
"Amazing?" he said smiling as he pulled me into the middle of the field and he sunk to the ground dragging me down with him. Silence descended as we looked around the meadow just enjoying the quiet. Edward leaned back onto the grass and closed his eyes. He was so beautiful. I lay down beside him and closed my eyes too. After a few minutes Edward sat up. I opened my eyes.
Edward looked into my eyes and I didn't look away. Slowly, he leaned forward, inch by inch. He stopped, his lips a whisper from mine.
"Bella," he whispered before gently placing his lips on mine. My stomach flipped and I pressed my own lips lightly back against his own. Sucking on my bottom lip, one of hands came to rest on my waist, the other gently cupping my face. His tounge traced my lips, silently asking for entrance I was only too eager to accept. Our tounges softly wound around eachother and I moved one hand up to rest in his hair. Edward pulled back carefully and looked into my eyes a soft smile on his face.
