Chapter 11
EPOV
Ok – no idea where this was going. Maybe I was in love. But it couldn't work out. Not with her, not with a human. But it was love! Fate!! DESTINY!! But she was human. I could hurt her… My mind churned like a cement mixer, going round and round in cycles though each little argument I had with myself. I just couldn't clear my head!! With a groan I spun round and strode purposely through the house, with every intention of running – perhaps for days on end. But there was Bella. A smile warmed my face as she approached.
"Hey." Short and sweet – just like her.
"Hey."
"You going out somewhere?" she enquired. I pursed my lips…
"Well… I was going to…" I did some quick thinking, "I was… going to ask you if you wanted to come for a run with me?" I grinned wickedly. "A fast one." She stared at me critically and raised an eyebrow.
"Alright then." She spoke slowly with a slightly suspicious tone. My grin stayed fixed as we walked out of the house. She was gunna love this – or at least, I was.

I stared at Edward in alarm – sure, we got to know each other pretty well yesterday… But he wanted to give me a piggy back?? I took a few minutes to grasp how I should react to this. Only one way.
"HUH??" He grinned.
"Trust me," he purred, quoting from Bananas in Pyjamas (I do NOT watch that show – ok??), "I'm a rat." I couldn't help but giggle and climb on. I couldn't stop the apprehension that rippled through me, though, and he chuckled beneath my shiver.
"You'll be fine," he reassured me, "Just hold on tight."
"Why? What are – ARGH!!" I squealed in shock – suddenly we were racing through the forest, leaves and ferns whipping my body. Trees flew past us, curving in dangerously as if they were molding around our bodies but we stayed unharmed. I didn't know whether to laugh out in exhilaration or bury my head in his shoulder and beg for him to stop. And, though I didn't realize it, this was the first moment that I had actually forgotten all that had happened.
Short, I know, and I haven't updated for soooo long. But I'm getting myself more organised now – so probably one chappie up per week. Thanks!
