Chapter 15 – The Meadow

I am thinking of putting in a chapter to show how Jacob feels about his break up with Rosalie.

It would probably be him and Bella. Tell me what you think.

And aren't you so glad the couples are almost back to normal? :P

Enjoy the chapter and please review!!

Bella POV

It was sunset when Edward and I finally got out the door. I didn't think a vampire's skin in the sunlight could be more beautiful. Apparently I was wrong. Edwards skin in the slowly setting sun was pure Ecstasy to me.

Edward and I drove to a place off the main trail. I had absolutely no idea where we were going but at this particular moment I didn't really care. Edward was absolutely glowing in the setting sun and I couldn't help but stare at him. He was smiling his crooked smile and he seemed so at peace with everything around him. I couldn't help but be happy too as I felt all the guilt I felt over Emmett fade away.

"Do you trust me, Bella?" Edward asked. Still smiling mischievously at me as he said it.

"Of course, Edward. What are you planning?" I looked over cautiously.

"Nothing in particular." He smiled as he took my arm and swung me over his back as easily as a human would a pillow. "Hold on tight, spider-monkey."*

"Edward!" I shouted as he started speeding through trees at a speed that made me cringe. I could just see my body crushed into one of the trees with the sheer force of the impact.

"Where are we going?!" Edward just chuckled. "EDWARD ANTHONY MASON CULLEN! You had better tell me where you are taking me right now or so help me!"

"Okay Bella. Just calm down. We are almost there" Edward was beginning to slow down so I knew that we were pretty close.

He set me down on the ground as he parted the last of the trees for me. I couldn't help but gasp as the pure brilliancy of the sight overtook me. Edward bound his arms around my waist and settled his chin into my shoulder. It was impossible to resist leaning into his secure form. It was as much for comfort as it was for closeness.

I didn't understand how I had missed this. How I didn't realise that Edward was in love with me. Was I really that blind? Is this what it was like for Emmett with Rosalie?

"Edward, what is this place? It is absolutely beautiful." I said slightly breathless from awe.

"This is my meadow. It's were I come to think. And I can think of something much more beautiful than this. I'm holding it in my arms right now." Edward whispered as he placed a kiss on my cheek. It was so gentle and soft that I could do nothing to help swooning and blushing.

Edwards body straightened up as he released my waist and offered me his hand. "Shall we?" was all he said. I nodded and took hold of the offered hand not wanting there to be space between us.

Edward led me to the centre of the meadow where we both lay down surrounded by beautiful purple wild flowers and the distant sound of flowing water.

Edward turned onto his side after about 10 minutes of just lying there staring at the sky with his arm around my shoulders.

"Bella, can I try something? I want to try kissing you but I need you to stay really still."

And with that his lips were on mine and my heart was racing. I was glad that I wasn't standing for if I was I am sure I would have fainted. I just closed my eyes and let my lips follow his. It was almost as if they were dancing. I know that the butterflies in my stomach were.

So I hope you enjoyed. :)

Okay I couldn't resist. Where the * is, is a line from the movie!!!
