Thanks to all my reviewers! You people are AWESOME!! A special thanks to certain readers who are offering help- you know who you are. I am still working on team leotards, but here is the link to the first of the choices- it's kind of bad picture, but I am not great at drawing people.

XOXO,
Meg
Love, me. The note said Love, me. I read it over and over again. Each time feeling the butterflies in my stomach jump excitedly on the word LOVE.
" Who was that," Alice asked, breaking into my consciousness.
" Huh, oh, it was the bellhop, he dropped off a note for me," I lied, quickly hiding the note behind my back.
" Oooh, who from, a guy perhaps?"
" Not exactly," I hedged. It was true, it wasn't just a guy, it was her brother. Yeah that sounds bad even in my head.
I quickly ran into the bathroom to avoid further questioning. I tried to let the hot water calm me down, but after everything that had happened tonight and then the note I was far too excited. I quickly finished up with my calming shower and changed into workout clothes.
When I walked out of the bathroom, Alice was already in bed. I grabbed my I-pod and snuck out to the balcony off our room. After awhile the London night air, Coldplay playing on my I-pod and my dance/stretches finally calmed me enough to sleep. I walked back into the room as quietly as I could.
"Stretching again," Alice asked, I jumped, I had thought she was asleep.
" Yeah sorry, did I wake you?"
" Nah, I was awake, too elated over tonight to sleep."
I nodded in agreement, climbing into my bed. We were both quiet for awhile and I figured she had finally fallen asleep. I was just drifting off myself when she spoke again.
"Bells, you were awesome tonight."
I blushed at her praise, "You too Alice."
"No, I mean you were really amazing. I thought your score was going to beat mine."
She was silent for a second and I wondered what she was thinking. "We really could go one, two couldn't we?" She asked as though she hadn't paused at all.
"Yeah we really could," I answered. Though neither of us said it aloud, we were both wondering just who would be one and who would be two.
I fell asleep to happier thoughts of Edward.
I woke before my alarm that morning. It felt like my entire body was thrumming with electricity. I jumped out of bed to find the room empty. I began pulling random clothes out of my suitcase trying to find something that I could wear. It was hard since I had packed mostly for work outs and gymnastics. It also didn't help that I didn't know what we would be doing besides, I'm guessing swimming cause he told me to bring a bathing suit, but were we doing anything else?
I ended up with a light-wash torn jeans- they were torn from wear not from the store, a royal blue off the shoulder top and silver ballet flats. I didn't put on makeup because I didn't want it to run when we went swimming. I played with my hair though, trying to get it just right. I ran my fingers through it, and tried to style it. Finally I gave up on it, threw my only bikini, my phone, room key and wallet in my silver bag, and walked out the door just in time to walk right into Alice.
" Oh Hey, Bells, Jazz and I are going sightseeing. Do you want to join us?"
"Uh, no thanks. I uh, I'm going to look around on my own, bye" I headed into the open elevator door.

Edward Pov:
I couldn't go congratulate her after her amazing performance without raising suspicion, so I reluctantly headed back to my room. I began pacing around, unable to sit still. Just as I paced past the desk for the third time I had an idea, a note! Sitting down I began to write. Almost two hours and a ton of crumpled attempts later, I reread the final product.
Dear you,
We both have a free day tomorrow. Meet me at 9:30 in the morning across the street from the Water Cube. And bring a bathing suit.
Love, me.
Perfect, I thought, she would know who this was from, but no one else who could read it would. I walked it down to the front desk to have it delivered. I was already planning the perfect day for us as I headed back upstairs to make the necessary plans.
When everything was done, I turned on the TV, too excited to sleep.
"And now for the Olympic photo of the day," the newscaster announced. A picture of me shouting with joy as the last member of our team hit the wall way before any of the other teams popped onto the screen. I was just about to change the channel when a familiar smile caught my eye. Bella was just on the edge of the photo, barely noticeable, half hidden, standing near the athlete's entrance. She looked almost as happy as I was over the win.
I continued watching without paying much attention to what was on, relishing in the look on her face from the picture. The TV regained my attention as they began a rundown of the gymnastics qualifications. They replayed Bella's routine over and over analyzing it from every angle.
I finally fell asleep, dreaming of Bella.

I walked out into the oddly cloudless British day. I slipped on sunglasses and turned my I-pod on as I walked the short walk to the English version of the Water Cube. I turned the corner and paused laughing. Edward had also pulled the hide behind sunglass trick only it wasn't exactly working for him. He was trying to keep his 6' 4" frame hidden, but the obsessed fan girls weren't going for it. They had him literally backed into a corner. I stood there for a minute taking in the hilarious sight, before going to get one of the security guards to help him.
I stood back watching as the security guards herded the girls away from Edward. Once he was out of their clutching hands, he leaned back against the wall. I wolf-whistled and laughed as he jumped. He stalked over to me in a playful manner and pressed me against the wall.
" How do you like being trapped," he questioned, his playful manner disappearing as our eyes met; his eyes were scorching into mine.
I was speechless, any witty response that came to my head disappeared with the look in his eyes. Unconsciously our mouths moved closer… All of a sudden, he broke away with a hard laugh.
" Come on," he said dragging me to a small toy-like blue car. I was still concentrating on regulating my breathing and my heart rate, so I slid into the car by the door he held open for me. Distant part of my mind noted that it was on the wrong side. Oh yeah England, I thought. That was the effect he had on me.
He slid into his seat, a breathtaking, crooked smile on his face.
I had to look away from him and out the window at the city flying past me.
"Um, so what did you do last night,' I asked pointedly, not expecting him to own up.
" Well I was kind of tired after my swim so I took a long shower and then I went and saw an amazing girl do amazing things," his voice was like velvet. He took my hand squeezed it; a jolt of electricity shot through me, along with .
"And what did you do yesterday afternoon," he asked me.
I blushed. " Oh, just watching some swimmer guy win another gold medal, you know the usual." I tried to keep a straight face, but began giggling. He joined in on my laughter and it was such a musical sound. When it stopped I wanted to hear it again.
" You know," I teased. " I was surprised to see it was you who sent that note, I thought it was Mike Newton." I bit my lip to keep from laughing this time.
He began to stutter, confused, until he caught sight of the look on my face. My joke had the desired effect, he began to laugh again.
We spent the rest of the ride like this, joking and talking. I was just seriously beginning to wonder where we were going, too distracted to think about it before. But now the city was far behind us and I wondered where on earth we could possibly be going in the countryside.
"Um, Edward, where are we going?"
" To one of my favorite places in the world," was his reply. I glanced out the window as he turned up a huge manicured driveway.
"Oh, My, God," I gasped.
You know the drill, review!
