Chapter 16 – The Meadow Part II
Sorry about the delay guys! Writers Block and a Broken arm are a bad combo
I've got good news!! My arm is healed with all of 9 screws and 2 plates!
So I can update freely now.
There would have been less of a delay if I hadn't lost everything that was on this computer...
I now keep 2 other copies on a floppy disk and on a USB drive. So no more random loosing everything.
One of the many reasons that I now love the invention of the internet!
So here is the new chapter!
Enjoy!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own the Ideas and Character in Twilight. I did however write the story around those characters!
Edwards POV
"Where are we going?!" Bella shouted, a little too loudly. I had to just chuckle. I was in one of my mischivous moods "EDWARD ANTHONY MASON CULLEN! You had better tell me where you are taking me right now or so help me!"
She sounded so adorable when she was mad. I couldn't help but give in to her. And hearing her say my full name was pure bliss. It made my running more smooth and elegant with just the sound of it.
"Okay Bella. Just calm down. We are almost there" I said just loud enough for her to hear. I said it just as I had begun to slow my pace.
I set her down on the ground and parted the last of the trees for her so that she could see the spectacular sight of the meadow in front of her. She gasped th moment she saw what was in front of her as I had predicted she would. I gently wrapped my arms around her waist and lowered my chin so that it sat on her shoulder. All I could smell was strawberrys and the sweet aroma of her skin. It set my senses on fire. I couldn't help but lean my face into her hair a little. It was pure bliss for me when she leaned her body to rest against mine. My breathing increased significantly with her proximity.
I so wished that I could read her thoughs and understand what she was thinking at this particular moment. I loved her and there was absolutely nothing that I could do about it. I swore to myself in that moment that nothing would ever happen to her as long as I was around.
"Edward, what is this place? It is absolutely beautiful." Her voice was soft and breathless. The beauty of this place had certainly had a great effect on her.
"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." I whispered before gently, shyly, placing a kiss on her cheek. There were knots in my stomach at that moment that just would not settle. Seeing Bella blush and smile was definately the highlight of my day. There was nothing more beautiful than that moment was to me.
I sraightened up unwillingly and released Bella's waist. I could honestly have stood there for hours with her but I knew that she would want to see more of the meadow so I offered her my hand. "Shall we?" was all I had to say. The gesture had her heart skipping a beat. It was such an old fashioned thing to say and I knew it. Although, no matter what century I was in I am positive that it would have the same effect on her. She took my hand and leaned as close as possible to me as we walked further into the meadow.
We walked until we were in the centre of the meadow. We stopped and sat down. I moved out from behind her and we lay together on the grass for about 10 minutes. Bella was snuggling into my side while I had my arm around her shoulders. I couldn't resist anymore. Her lips were just too tempting. I turned onto my side and looked deep into her eyes.
"Bella, can I try something?" I said quietly. I was positive that she could hear me. She nodded as if sensing what my "something was". "I want to try kissing you but I need you to stay really still."
I leaned in slowly and tenderly placed my lips to her. It was pure bliss all over again. Nothing could ever be more spectacular than this. No matter how long I live. I listened quietly as her heart sped up to an incredible speed. When our lips were finally parted I couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. There was nothing else to do.
"Don't have a heart attack on me now, Bells." I chuckled as I smiled her favorite crooked smile.
She just stared up at me with a sarcastic smile plastered on her face as she tried to control her breathing. It was adorable to see her mad. I just hope she won't hold a grudge.
"Would you like to go and see the waterfall?" I ask knowing that it would intrigue her.
"There's a waterfall?" She asked and tilted her head to the side in such a way that you just want to say "awe"
"Yup. There's a waterfall not far from here. That's where the sound of the water is coming from." I smiled again and stood up with her in my arms. "It's quicker to run. Please don't shout at me this time. And you should try closing your eyes. It's less scary that way."
"I'll close my eyes as long as you promise me that yours will stay open." She smiled back.
And with that last glimpse of her face I pulled her gently round onto my back and took off at a pace that would confuse most human eyes.
Please Please Please Review!!!
