I just had to get out of there. I couldn't stand to see any of the evil, conniving, moronic jerks! It was one thing for them to pick on me but to bring Bella into this was totally uncalled for. I revved the engine to the Volvo speeding out of the parking lot before anyone noticed us leaving. I didn't exactly know where we were heading, all I knew was it had to be far away from there. Bella sat silently in the passenger seat still holding tightly to my hand, making calming circles.
"I am sorry for what happened back there, they had no right to treat you like that." I whispered but I knew she still heard me, because a moment later she leaned her head onto my shoulder.
"It's okay; I kind of expected this behavior from them after all that has happened. And you have nothing to be sorry about; if anything I should be thanking you for standing up for me it was really sweet." How could such forgiving people love me so much? I pulled off to the side of the road suddenly, thinking back to when I was younger and Emmett, Jasper and I had found a trail near here.
"How would you feel about a little hike?" I asked staring down into her eyes. She nodded her head and we made our way toward the poorly distinguishable trail. We were silent for most of the hike, just comfortable in each other's presence, when I suddenly saw the opening to the meadow. I stopped and stood in front of Bella taking both of her hands in mine. "Okay close your eyes."
"Why?" I just stared at for a moment showing that we weren't going to move until she closed her eyes. "Fine. But you will pay for this later. You know that I am uncoordinated with my eyes open, imagine me with them closed." I chuckled at this, and moved around so I was positioned behind her with both of my hands resting on her shoulders. I leaned down to her ear, letting my cool breath dance across her skin.
"I won't let anything happen to you. I promise." I whispered and placed a soft trail of kisses down her neck. "Okay, just walk forward till I say stop." She began to move only stumbling a couple of times over tree branches and thin air. Once we were a few feet into the meadow I told her to stop and open her eyes. She gasped at the site of the sunlit meadow filled with wild flowers. She turned to face me, taking my hands once again into hers and led me to the center of the meadow where we sat down in the tall grass.
"It is so beautiful here." She said as she took in the scenery. But my eyes were locked on her.
"Yeah, so beautiful." I said and she turned to look at me, and noticed that my gaze was focused on her. Bella's cheeks turned to light shade of pink at this, which I felt compelled to kiss.
We stayed like that in the meadow all day, talking, kissing, and just being in each other's presence. It was by far the best day in a long time. When I finally glanced at my watch I noticed that it was about an hour before school let out. I groaned which caused Bella to look over at me.
"What's wrong?" She asked apparently just as oblivious as I was to about how much time has already passed.
"We have to be heading back so as to not stir up suspicion in the parental." We got up brushing off our clothes and then made our way back to the car. The trip back seemed to take no time at all, and we actually ended up about twenty minutes early for the final bell. So we stayed in the car, and I put in a CD of my own compositions that Esme had recorded one afternoon.
"Is this you playing?" Asked Bella after a few minutes in to the CD. I just nodded my head not wanting to make a big deal about it. "It's so beautiful." She said, so I decided to skip to number four, where a soft lullaby started to play. I leaned over nuzzling my head into her neck, placing soft kisses.
"You inspired this one." I whispered, and Bella cheeks once again turned to a beautiful shade of pink. Just as the song ended and we broke our wonderful embrace, reluctantly, the bell rang and out poured the hundreds of students from Forks High.
"Well I should be getting home, just in case Charlie is waiting for me again." I gave her one final kiss good bye on her sweet lips before she turned for the door. But before she got all the way out she turned back around. "I was also wondering if you were ever planning on officially asking me to this school dance that is coming up in the next couple of weeks. Or if I was going to be forced to ask Mike or someone like that." I let out a soft growl at the mention of Newton. And I quickly grabbed her hand pulling her back into the car. I kissed her with such force that I never wanted to break this wonderful embrace but I knew my family would be arriving soon, and we both needed to breath.
"So would you like to go the dance with me?" I asked with mock innocents. Bella who was still somewhat stunned by the kiss just stared at me wide eyed and mouth opened, nodding her head. "Good, now get going we don't want the chief of police trying to set you up on anymore dates." She got of the car again and made her way to her beat up red truck. Just as she was about to get into the cab of the car she was stopped…….. by Newton.
