Chapter 7
Edward talked about anything and everything. If I didn't know any better I would have said he was trying to waste time, but I had no idea why. I didn't even know why he wanted to be here with me of all people. I was sure he wasn't short of girls who wanted to spend time with him, girls who would give him anything he wanted. He was a good looking guy after all. So, why the hell was he here with me?
"…and Jazz was that drunk that he could barely stand. The idiot fell face first into the pool. If I hadn't jumped in he would have drowned."
Edward was going on and on, but I wasn't really listening to him. I was just enjoying the view, the cool breeze on my hair and the peace and quiet. It was beautiful out here.
I was watching the waves as they lapped onto the shore when something blue caught my eye. There was one of them, and then two, three, four. Suddenly, the entire shore was covered in tiny, little, blue lights.
"Hey, shut up," I said, hitting Edward's leg. "Can you see that?" I asked, getting up and running over to the water. "What is it?" I asked, crouching down, looking at the little lights in amazement. I had never seen anything like this before. It was so beautiful.
"Stars," Edward said, smiling down at me.
I playfully scowled. "No, really. What is it?"
Edward crouched down beside me and grinned. I couldn't help, but smile in return. "You're beautiful when you smile, you know that?"
"What?"
"I said you're beautiful when you smile. You should do it more often."
I blushed, pushing him backward. He landed on his ass and pulled me with him. The next thing I knew, the two of us were lying in the water. I screamed as a cold wave washed over me. I splashed some water on Edward as I scrambled to my feet and ran away.
I didn't get far. He came running after me, tackling me to the ground. We both fell into the water again, this time with him lying on top of me. We both just lay there, staring into each other eyes. The pull to kiss him was so unbelievably strong, I knew he could feel it too, but I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready to let anyone in.
I pushed him off me and got up to my feet, dusting myself off. "I should go home," I stuttered. "Jasper's probably wondering where I am." It was a feeble excuse. We I both knew I couldn't care less whether Jasper was looking for me or not, but he didn't argue with me. He just said 'okay'.
A/N: Okay, so I know that the 'stars' only happen in the Maldives, but it is only a story and I thought it would be cute to use this to bring the two of them together a little.
