Chapter 2

"Come on, Bell! Look at the water, doesn't it look tasty?" Edward pushed standing one foot from the top of the lake and waving me to go to his spot.

"I DON'T SWIM!" I shouted back. Besides, I felt self conscious about being only in bikini. He was just Edward and all, I know… but well, we had grown up now, and it wasn't like if we were eight anymore. And in the deep I knew, that his body was just too perfect and well, I mine was just too average.

I sat on a rock and took the sun lotion out of my bag, when to wet hands touch my back unexpectedly.

"Ouch! You are cold!" I yelled to an all-wet Edward behind me. His childish face made me smile.

"Bell, it's summer here, on the earth, remember?" He amused as he sat by my side, putting his head back to see the sun.

"Well, my summer is a bit different than yours, alright? I actually like to be in touch with culture instead of always with water and parties and cars and girls!" I stuck my tongue at him.

"Oh, don't tell me that you don't die to go out with Jasper Hale! I've seen you see him during gym class, you almost drool over him." I dropped my eyes to the floor, but his stare was so intense that even though I wasn't look at him I turned crimson red. I couldn't believe he noticed about Jasper, I didn't even notice it myself so clearly! God, how could he know me so much?!

"I don't know what you are saying, Jasper is a jerk," I said. I didn't know if he could understand me, I was seriously mumbling.

"Only because he is in the football team?" He arched his eyebrow one more time. And I could heard the skeptical tone in his words. He was in a team as well.

I sighed again. "Not because of that, just because he's been with almost every girl of this town. And you know I don't like players…"

He stayed silent for some seconds and kicked a pebbled from the ground. "Romeo doesn't exist, you know… It's just a character," He shrugged and stood up.

"Maybe he does…" I mumbled under my breath and shrugged. We stayed quiet after that, but just for a minute.

He suddenly looked behind me with suspicious eyes. "Hey, what's that over there?" He said.

I turned around and looked at his spot too. "What's what?" I couldn't see anything rather than green and brown.

"Got you!" I heard him shout as I realized I had his arms around my torso lifting me and placing me on his chest. Oh – oh.
