Song: Ours by Taylor Swift
I do not own Twilight or the song.
Enjoy.

Edward and I arrived at the beach and I breathed in the sweet smell of salt and water, along with the smell of sand and sunscreen. Ah you gotta love the beach and ocean.
Edward got out and I opened the trunk for him. He sighed and grabbed our bags and my guitar case, along with the beach chairs and umbrella. I grabbed two of our bags and he smiled. I grinned and ran ahead of him, making him jog to catch up.
I traveled down a little ways, searching for a clear spot. I found the perfect spot next to a rock and dropped the two bags I was carrying. Edward came up and got to work with setting up the umbrella. I started helping him and we finished it within minutes. I set up my chair under the now shaded section of the beach. Edward sat down next to me and stared up at me as I wiggled out of my denim shorts.
He smiled and stripped off his shirt. I wasn't looking, since I was going through my bag for sunscreen. I sat on the beach blanket Edward set out and started rubbing the white goop into my skin. I looked at Edward and held the bottle out.
"Can you help me with my back?" I asked him. He smiled and took the bottle.
"Of course Bella," he said and I turned so that my back was facing him, holding my hair up. I braced myself for the feeling of the cold feeling of the sunscreen against my back, but when he started rubbing it into my skin, if was warm. I relaxed and let him finish with the sunscreen.
His hands paused on my winged tattoo and I blushed. His hands moved gently over the ink and I think I heard him chuckle. When he pulled away, I let my hair back down. Looking back at Edward, I saw him putting on some sunscreen.
I smiled and stood up, grabbing Edward's hand. He let me tug him into the water, but then scooped me off my feet and tossed me right in. I screamed while I flew through the air and into the water. When I came back up, Edward was laughing his ass off.
I huffed and swam closer to Edward. He didn't notice, so I dived down and through the almost clear water. I swam right up to Edward and tugged his ankle, making him fall into the water. I came up and laughed.
When he came up, his hair was sticking to his head and he pouted. Then he grinned.
"Oh shit," I said. Waiting a few seconds, I gave him a peace sign. "Bye," I said, then swam away as fast as I could. Edward followed me and I laughed. He tackled me into the water, making us both go under.
I hit his head with my hand while swimming back up and he grabbed me by the waist. Edward picked me up bridal style and twirled us around. I laughed and held onto him as tight as I can, I didn't want to be tossed without bringing him with me.
Edward leaned down and kissed my lips softly. I felt my eyes flutter closed, kissing him back. He pulled away with a soft smile and I put my head on his shoulder. He carried us back to our section of the beach, then set me down on the beach blanket.
I giggled and leaned against his side, eyes closed softly. I felt him moving around next to me, heard the click of a button, and heard music start up. He was playing his iPod on the portable iHome.
Edward and I lied back on the blanket, talking to each other peacefully. Then a couple came running past, spraying sand all over me and Edward. I looked up, ready to yell at the two, only to stop and stare.
The guy caught the girl, his arms around her waist. They were staring into each others eyes, as if in a silent conversation. I had the urge to say 'awww', I almost did, that is until the man kissed her. I looked away and at Edward, he looked at me, then back at the mysterious couple.
They broke apart and finally noticed me and Edward, covered with sand.
"Oh God, did we do that? Sorry, it was an accident," the female said. I smiled and waved my hand dismissively.
"Don't worry about it. It's cool, I always wanted to be a sand person," I smirked. She rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out at me. I think I'm going to like her.
The man saw my guitar and looked at me and Edward. "Do you play?" he asked. We both nodded and he grinned. "Oh dear me, I'm being so disrespectful. My name is Travis, I'm a music producer, record dealer, you know, the whole music business thing." My mouth hung open, eyes wide as plates. Is he serious!
"W-wow," I stammered.
"If you don't mind, I would love to hear you play miss...?" he said, draggin out the word.
"I'm Bella and this is Edward," I said, pointing at said person. "And I would love to play for you sir."
"I'm Dolores, but I like Lola better," the girl said. I guess we forgot to ask her name didn't we? My bad. I smiled and we all sat down on the beach blanket.
"Okay first, I want to hear you sing, then we can talk about our deal, alright?" Travis asked. I nodded and Edward handed me my guitar.
I squirmed a bit to get more comfortable and set the guitar right on my lap. I looked up and smiled at all three of them.
"I wrote this song just today, while we were in the water," I said, looking at Edward. He blushed slightly and smiled back slightly, eyes shining. Travis was nodding an holding Lola close to him, getting cozy. I hope not too cozy. I blushed back at Edward and looked down, murmuring, "It's called Ours." With that, I started playing.
Elevator buttons and morning air
Strangers' silence makes me wanna take
the stairs
If you were here we'd laugh about their
vacant stares
But right now, my time is theirs
I looked at Edward and he was smiling, leaning forward, his elbows on his knees. I smiled back at him and got lost in my music, again.
Seems like there's always someone who
disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me
and you
And the verdict comes from those with
nothing else to do
The jury's out, but my choice is you
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high
The waters rough
But this love is ours
You never know what people have up
their sleeves
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at
me
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss
smiles
But I don't care, cause right now you're
mine
And you'll say don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high
The waters rough
But this love is ours
And it's not theirs to speculate
If it's wrong and your hands are tough
but they are where mine belong and
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith
with this song for you
Cause I love the gap between your teeth
And I love the riddles that you speak
And any snide remarks from my father
about your tattoos will be ignored
Cause my heart is yours
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours
They can't take what's ours
The stakes are high
The waters rough
But this love is ours
I whispered the verse and stopped playing, looking down. Travis, Lola, and Edward were clapping. When I looked up, Edward was beaming proudly, full of happiness.
I put my guitar back in its case and set it on a beach chair next to me. "Well, you do have talent Bella. How would you like to have a recording contract with Rock Records (is that even real... I think I heard it before O.O)?" Travis asked. I was stunned.
They wanted me? They wanted me? ! THEY WANTED ME! I squealed and hugged Travis and Lola tightly.
"Thank you thank you thank you! I would love to have a recording contract with you guys!" I squealed. They smiled brightly and Edward hugged me tightly from behind.
"Congrats love," he whispered in my ear, kissing my neck. I turned to him and kissed him softly, eyes half closed.
"Thank you... Edward," I murmured. Turning back to Travis and Lola, I saw that they had giant smiles.
"Why don't you come to the recording studio tomorrow and we can start planning?" Lola said. I nodded and she gave me the directions to the studio. Thanking them wildly, me and Edward started packing up to get back to the hotel.
Travis and Lola told us bye and left. Edward was forced to carry everything back to the car as usual. I skipped ahead of him and got the trunk open, and was in the passenger's seat within seconds. Edward looked at me and I smiled, handing him the keys as he got into the car.
"I promised you that you could drive, and I keep my promises." Was all I said. Edward gaped at me and I looked out the window. When he finally started the car, we were speeding back to the hotel.
Edward had a big ass grin on his face, eyes wide with excitement and happiness. I watched his reflection on my window and let my bangs cover my eyes. He was enjoying this... Good.
When we drove into the hotel parking lot, Edward was sighing in contentment. I got out and decided to be nice by gathering some of our beach bags and other shit.
"Just leave the umbrella and chairs in the car Edward!" I called over my shoulder. He nodded and grabbed some bags from me, leaving me with my guitar case. We went back up into our room.
Too bad the elevator had an old lady in it this time. I actually pouted, making Edward laugh as he hugged me from behind again, his chin on my head. I could've sworn I heard the old lady muttering something about teenagers and only thinking of sex. I blushed and gave the old hag the stink eye.
"Mind your own business you old, filthy hag!" I hissed at her. She gasped and clutched her suitcase. "Yeah I said that. What are you going to do about it bitch?" I snarled. I smirked when she didn't say anything.
Edward chuckled and kissed below my ear, making me giggle. We got off the elevator on our floor, leaving the old lady gobsmacked. Yeah well served her right!
Edward opened our door and I tossed my guitar onto the couch... Carefully. I was tired and headed to my room. I curled under the covers, smiling to myself. I just got a record deal and cursed out an old lady. Yeah life's good.
I felt the bed dip and the covers move as I felt a warm, familiar body climb into the bed beside. Edward pulled me into him, my back against his chest and I sighed happily. (Don't think so nasty people, we are still clothed!)
Yeah and life just got better.
So sorry it took so long! What do you think?
I had such bad writer's block and I was with my boyfriend all the time. I couldn't stay away from him. I never had enough time to write...
I love my boyfriend. He's my heart... *blushes* oops, I shouldn't have said that. Now I'm embarrassed... I never share my thoughts about him... I don't like to share my deep thoughts, and thinking of him are my most deepest and loving thoughts ever.
Please review... Thank yas!
