A huge thank you to everyone who prayed for my grandpa.
Oh and to my sister-in-law, I love you for taking time to read this thing and for your feedback. You're the best! :)
51.
I take Bella to an Italian restaurant for a dinner date.
I hold the door open for her, pull out a chair for her to sit on, compliment on her clothes and take her hand under the table.
I act like a gentleman all evening except when I make dirty jokes which make her blush and swat my chest.
After dinner, we head down to this incredible place I found when I was teenager. It's in the forest and no one ever goes there but I'm surprised why anyone wouldn't want to go to such a place.
The meadow is somewhat my safe-place, a place where I have no worries and nothing to do but admire nature's beauty.
"Where are we?" asks my girl.
"My meadow", I say.
"Your meadow?"
"My meadow", I confirm. "But I'm willing to share it with you."
"O-kay. So what are doing here?"
"What do you want t do here?"
She shakes her head and smiles at me. "Whatever you like, Edward. I don't mind as long I'm with you."
This is music to my ears.
I plop down on the grass and pull her to me. Her head rests against my chest and I wrap my arms around her small waist.
I kiss the top of her head. "Bella..."
"Hmm", she says. "What?"
"This might freak you out because it's too soon but I don't care. I can't keep this from you and oh God, I don't know what to say! I've never felt like this before and it's so surreal. I'm going crazy and if I don't say this-"
"Say it already."
I take a deep breath. "I think I'm in love with you."
She stirs in my grip and trains her stare on my face. "What makes you think that?"
"Everything about you draws me in and I can't change how I feel", I reply. "I love you, Isabella."
"It's not too soon", she says.
"You think?"
"Because the same thoughts have been swirling around in my head all week."
What?
"I feel the same", she continues. "You're right about it being crazy but I don't care either. This is real and I'm not a kid who doesn't know a thing about relationships. The pace we're going at is perfect and being with you makes me more happy than I've been in ages. I love you too."
Aww, right? Go ahead and tell me what you think.
