Okay, literally not even 10 minutes ago I'm sleeping downstairs.

Im the only one home, and I'm having this dream....

Me & Edward, cuddled together on a pull-out bed inside a camper.

Mmm, everythings nice...

until Alice grows bored, that is.

Disclaimer:

Edward: me and you? Cuddled? o-e

Me: I think I was supposed to be Bella.

Edward: Oh, that's better then. Do you own Twilight?

Me: .....way to ruin a moment, Edward. Le sigh, no.

"Are you sure you'll be alright?" he asked for the millionth time.

"Edward, I'm fine. Go have fun." I laughed, kissing him again to stop his panick attack. He and his brothers were going "camping" over the weekend and he didn't think I'd be okay by myself.

"I can't do this," he mumbled when his lips were free. "This," he kissed me again, "is torture- leaving this behind for 2 days."

"I know what you mean." I sighed, putting my forehead to his. We were sitting at the Cullen's house, on Edward's bed, just murmuring and well, not really talking if you know what I mean.

"I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you more," was my response. He didn't answer, he just tucked his lips under my jaw and made his way towards my temple in kisses.

"Where are you going anyway?" my voice trembled.

"Oregon." he whispered, testing my reaction. I couldn't deny the pain his answer sunk into me. A whole different state. I wouldn't be...close to him. It felt as if he were in Africa, or...Italy. I didn't answer.

"It's only because a carnivore problem there, love. I'll be back on Sunday, I promise to you. No, I swear. Don't be afraid," he hugged me close.

"Edward.."

"Yes?"

"No, nothing. Nevermind, I was just thinking." I chickened out.

"Bella." his tone was disapproving. "Tell me."

"Well," I sighed. "I don't..think I can..cope with..being so far away...from you. I know how it feels."

"Bella, no!" he scolded, crushing me harder against him. "It's not like that Bella, I swear on my heart."

"I know- it just feels that way."
"Well, I'll tell you what. When I get back, you and I will have this whole house to ourselves for the evening."

This caught my attention. By his hidden smile, I could tell her knew it did too. Me and Edward? Together....alone. No vampires with their amazing hearing..just me and him. My heart fluttered and he kissed me suddenly but romantically.

When I broke gasping for air, he moved to my neck. "I...okay." was all I could manage.

"I thought you said you were gonna be fine?" he teased.

"That was before I knew you were going to Oregon. I heard they have nice campsites. Lots of coyotes." I hinted.

He laughed. "Anything else I should be feared of?" he played along.

"Of course there is, deer...spiders, snakes...mountain lions are big there, too," I clutched him closer.

"Well, that's a good thing, although. I'll make sure they don't eat me. But I wouldn't want any mountain lion in the world if it meant being away from you."

My heart skipped a beat. I briefly considered going with Edward on his camping trip, making it a real one as they went hunting...but it'd probably be too dangerous. Of couse it would. He suddenly froze and I looked at him questioningly. When he unfroze I exhaled.

"What..?"
"Alice stepped out." he sighed.

"Oh." I murmured. "Why?"
"I don't know, she's blocking her thoughts from me.." his eyes were a million years away. I waited patiently until he looked his gaze to me again. He smiled, breathtaking.

"Where were we?"

"I don't remember," I laughed, and I put my mouth to his. The good thing about this was, Edward had a polo on. When Edward wore polo's, his abs stuck out beautifully and the fabric clung to his skin with such glorious taste that it was almost hard to keep my eyes away from his chest. He let me climb onto his lap and push him down. His hands stroked my face, and I inhaled. His sweet, icy breath cooled my mouth and I broke free for air. Just a bit. He closed his eyes and smiled. The position we were in was appropiate for the two of us, but in front of an audience it would have been awkward. He kissed me again, and my hands moved to his waist, pulling his polo up and stroking the planes of his chest.

Marvelous, simply marvelous.

There was something different here though. Edward was doing as he pleased, for once, his hands stroking my neck, my face, loose strands of my hair in his fingers and then where the rested around my waist. He let me touch his stomach, knot my fingers in his hair..

Whether this be because we wouldn't see eachother for 2 days, or that Edward lost his train of pushing away and sighing, I didn't care. I'll take it. He finally seemed to realize how long I'd actually been with him- three hours. At 7 we decided to come to his hosue. Which, wasn't very long if it were earlier in the day. Right now, it was almost 10pm.

I was clutching to his arm when he noticed, and he sighed. I did too. "Bella, Charlie will be worried about you, love." his whispered. I sighed.

"I'm 18- he can worry." was my smartmouth response. Edward scoffed.

"Bella, he's your father."

"Well, your 17, kind of, and Carlisle doesn't give you a curfew." I laughed, teasing.

"Hmm, good point. But Carlisle knows I'm not getting into trouble, Charlie doesn't know that your with me."
"Yes he does, I told him, remember?"

"You told him you were coming to my house. He suspected you'll be with my family, not just me and you alone. I've seen his mind, Bella- and he wonders what goes on."

"Goes on? Between who?" I was confused.

"Us."

"Oh Edward, I think I got a good look a few months ago when he asked me..." I shuddered. He hid a smile. "You knew, of course you did! How could you let me go in my house, deal with my father who wanted to ask me if..me and you were.." I scolded him shaking my head.

"He needed to know. His imagination is very creative."

"Ugh! Edward! Please! He knows I'm a virgin, so he just needs to make with that what he wishes. I'm staying a bit longer."

Edward didn't answer. "Did Alice get home yet?" I asked.

"No, not yet." he said softly. He was sulking, I knew it.

"Fine then, if you want me to go home I will," I began, starting to get up off the bed. His cool, firm hands locked around my waist and he pulled me next to him.

"Never," he whispered, kissing me. I laughed against his lips, pleased with myself.

He suddenly froze, and hissed. I pulled back, afraid I did something to upset him.

"Edward, what's wrong? What's the matter?"

"Alice is home."

Just then, the little pixie/demon herself burst through Edward's bedroom door and clapped. "BELLA'S COMING CAMPING WITH US!" she announced, laughing. I blinked, shocked. Edward growled.

"Alice, if you think I'm hunting with Bella anywhere-"
"No, Edward!" she laughed, singing. "We're really going camping! I found the perfect little campsite and I even bought three campers for us!" I sat there, absorbing this and confused.

"Wait..three?" I murmured.

"La duh, Bella. One for you and Edward, Another for Jasper and I, and the last one for Em and Rose."
"Alice, you can't be serious. What about Carlisle and Esme?" I asked.

"They're happy hunting in the area. Now, I already packed for you Bella- you are all set! This will be so fun!" she squealed, spun around and screamed for Jasper on her way. I looked at Edward.

"Looks like we're going camping..." I murmured.

"Looks like it." he sighed. "Now I'm going to have to make sure the mountain lions don't eat you."
