Chapter 17

"Where did you learn how to play?" Edward finally asked.

"I wouldn't call it playing. I only know a few chords. I used the internet and taught myself when I was a teenager," Bella answered. She didn't know how to keep the conversation going. She felt... overwhelmed in Edward's presence. If he knew she watched him in the quad, he'd run away screaming stalker.

"I've seen you around school. What classes are you taking?" Edward asked then realized how stalkerish that sounded. "I'm sorry, but you're kind of hard to miss at school. Well, if you're looking," the word vomit continued.

"So are you," Bella replied without thinking. She turned beet red and Edward watched as her face flushed darker and darker. He couldn't escape the trance he was in.

"English Lit. You?" Bella asked. She wasn't comfortable talking about herself.

Edward and Bella sat next to the fire and continued to ask each other questions, hitting all the basics: favorite color, favorite food, favorite memory. The two continued to relax around the other as the fire blazed.

Every so often Edward would add another log to the fire. It didn't seem like much time at all had passed.

The fire and the couple that sat next to it were in their own little bubble, closed off to the rest of the world. Neither noticed that the other fires along the beach had dwindled along with the people. They continued to talk until Bella noticed the sky starting to lighten. She looked out at the skyline in wonder.

All the colors her dad used to talk about were there. Red, yellow, orange, blue, purple. It wasn't until Bella looked at Edward that she was able to add green, black, and white to the canvas. She smiled at the childhood memory with her dad at the beach.
