Here is your daily splash of Colour...Enjoy it, and have a blue day...
Chapter 22
After musing for a time, Edward broke the silence. He had to keep her talking. He was enamored with how deep her thoughts were and was desperate to hear more.
They had discussed yellow, orange, and purple. What was the next color he wanted to hear about? He speculated as he looked across the water. Water was supposed to be blue.
"Tell me about blue," Edward encouraged as he looked into her eyes.
He wondered what color they were. Were they green like his or blue like his fathers? Were they brown or hazel as some said theirs were. He'd never cared about that before, but now, now was different. He was afraid to ask, but he wanted to know.
"Hmm," Bella pondered. "The ocean is blue as is the sky. But how do I describe," she laughed realizing how ridiculous she sounded. Was it a poem even if it didn't rhyme?
She grinned when she heard his light laugh. She couldn't fathom that he really wanted to hear her theories about blue, but she continued despite her midgivings.
"Have you ever swam in the ocean and then just floated, looking up at the sky," she asked. Describing color was becoming easier, or so she hoped. She wondered how ridiculous Edward thought she was, if he did. The look on his face was thoughtful and she wondered if he took her seriously or was just placating her.
"Yes, I have. It's very calming and relaxing. It's easy to think when I'm in the water," Edward said, thinking about the possible connection.
Bella blushed darker when she realized that Edward was listening to every word she said.
He was enjoying their conversation.
Their conversation was easy, other than trying to figure out how to describe color. That was the hard part—at least it was to her.
"Calm, relaxing, cool and wet all describe blue. In my case, blue can also be described as being lazy, or sitting under a tree lost in thought," she said thinking about how she saw Edward every day at school, reading under the tree in the courtyard.
Edward thought about how he sat under the tree every day, waiting for her to walk by. Trying to figure out what was different about her from the other girls dressed in gray. He was starting to see that it had less to do with color and more with the depths of gray.
