CHAPTER 21

Amazing...I was in a gorgeous meadow. There were flowers everywhere, and the sun was shining. Odd for Forks. It was beautiful. The only thing missing was my greek god, my Adonis, standing at my side.

"Do you like it? I comehere to think. Get away from all the voices in my head. It's peaceful. Now I can be here..alone...without actualy being alone. You are so wonderful Bella..."

"Edward, it's lovely. Where are you?"

I was laying down in the grass and I felt a rush of air next to me. When I looked up I saw the most astonishing sight. Edward, his skin was glistening like a thousand diamonds were glued to his skin. His white shirt was completely unbuttoned and I could see his chiseled abs. I cautiously reached up to touch his cold marble chest.

"Just to make sure you're really real...How can someone as perfect as you, even like someone like me?"

He took my hand from his chest and put it at my side. Then he looked down, straight into my eyes. His golden eyes dark with emotion...anger.

"Isabella Swan! You are the most remarkable woman I've ever met! How can you say someting like that?! I don't just like you...I LOVE you...you and only you." He leaned down and kissed me. Urgently, and passionately. Just as the kiss broke a cloud drifted over the sun.

"I wanted to show you why we can't go out into the sun. It's how the myth got started. It doesn't hurt, maybe feels a bit tingly, but we can't just walk around humans looking like this now can we?" He let out a low chuckle.

"No, I suppose not. But the sun's going away...I want to see more of you!"

"Don't worry my Bella, the day's not over yet. Alice told me the sun will be bright and shining again next week. All the Cullen's skip school when it is to go 'camping', so you'll se it again soon enough!"

He started to get up but I kept him next to me."Bella, like I said 'the day's not over yet', I have other plans. We need to go." He extended his hand and helped me up, then buttoned his shirt. I couldn't help but let out a small, sad, groan and he chuckled when he realized it was because of him getting dressed!

"Come now Bella." He swooped me into his arms a second time, "off we go!"

We reached the car in a minute and I swayed slightly when he set me down. Edward reached out his arms to steady me, and pulled me closer to his perfect chest. Our eyes met, and then our lips. It was amazing. We moved in perfect harmony...until I forgot to breathe and felt the blackness coming.

"Bella!" Edwards sweet voice sounded scared. Wonder why?...oh right. I'm an idiot!

"Ugh...Edward? Sorry!" I smiled up at him and he let out an exasperated sigh.

"You really need to remember to breathe Bella!"

"It's not completely my fault Edward Cullen. You dazzle me!" I reached up to stroke his cheek. That's whn I noticed we were both seated in his car, and about to drive off.

We headed out of Forks, and into Port Angeles. The sun was gonenow, with no hopes of returning anytime soon. My stomach grumbled a little, and I couldn't help but blush.

"We're almost there Bella."

We pulled up outside of La Bella Italiana, and Edward ushured me inside. It was beautiful. Our waitress didn't seem to notice me, she was shamelessly flirting with Edward, but I couldn't blame her. Look at him. He's pure perfection!!

After we..I..ate lunch we went somewhere I never imagined.
