"Come on. Let's just go." Bella crinkled up her nose and bit down on that bottom lip of hers. Spitfire, that girl was.
Townspeople always said Charlie's hands were overflowing, not just full, with her.
Edward's heart raced like it would whenever Bella's eyes lit up, but he kept himself collected. He smiled. "Where to?" He played with the hem of her shirt, circled a finger around her bellybutton.
Up on her tiptoes, she threw her arms around his neck. "Take me to Venus."
Edward held her steady. "That's pretty far, pretty girl."
"We'll stop if you get hungry."
"No money." He only had about five dollars crumpled up in his glove box, and Bella told him that was alright because she'd go ahead and stuff Twinkies into her shorts if she had to. "Ain't no room in those shorts."
"I'll make do."
"Alright."
Billy chased after them from his storefront, yelling into a cloud of dust, "I'm calling your daddy!"
Wind whipped her hair into wild ribbons as she turned, rising to her knees in the front of Edward's convertible. She blew a kiss. "Thanks for the snacks!"
"Chief's gonna kill me," Edward said, laughing. He pulled her close.
Hours later Bella pointed to a dirt road in the distance. "Turn up there."
"Why?"
"We'll go skinny dipping and make love and stay the night."
"Make love?" he said, eyebrow cocked.
"If you're gonna die you better go out happy."
"Alright."
She splashed water, and he held her tightly to him.
"You're my girl."
"I know."
He made her sweat and shake. She replied with a grin, "So that's what Venus is like."
That evening they lay in his car, Edward's arms in their place while she told him big dreams. He thought maybe tomorrow they'd go to Jupiter.
