A night of just talking and having fun

Edward finally park the truck and we got out. He lowered the tail gate and turned on the lantern then I watch as he gather wood and he lit the fire.

"Is there anything thing you can't do Cullen?" I asked him. "What do you mean by that?" He asks me as he gets up and digs in the back of the truck and hands me the bottle of Jack and then goes back to work.

"Well you can cook, play the piano, you certainly know some medical stuff you've already proved that and now look at you. You know about outdoor stuff. Like I said is there anything you can't do?"

"Well it would seem I'm not good at one thing and that is I keep screwing things up between us and well I keep fucking that up." He says.

"It's not that you're messing it up Edward. It's just you keep well going to her and when you do it seems that the trio comes after me so I don't know what to think."

"Is that why you think I betrayed you is how everything played out?" I nodded. Edward walked in front of me. "I would never betray Bella. Believe me when I tell you that I love you with all my heart. It's just I don't know how to act when I'm with you. Most of the time I want more from you and I don't want our relationship to be base on just one thing. You are more than just a girlfriend to me you're also my best friend." He walks away a goes and starts putting up the tent.

I forgot how we were best friends first and I guess that's really never changed for us. In a way that's a good thing. We always found it easy to talk to each other. But I watched how he always laughed and talked to her. I think back.

"Holy shit, it was all an act, why didn't I see it all before. How could I've been so blind." Edward stopped what he was doing and just looked at me a moment. "What are you talking about?"

"You and Tanya. It was all an act for you. I just didn't see it until now. The way you smile with her and laugh it wasn't real. Now I understand what you meant you can be yourself around me and not act like someone your not. Do you know what this means?"

"No, not really." He told me. "I was the one that was blind in our relationship refusing to see what was right there in front of me the whole time. How stupid can I be." I bury my face into hands as the tears start to fall.

How could I ever think my best friend, my boyfriend the men that loves me would ever betray. me. I felt my hands being lowered and Edward gently lifted my chin.

"You're not stupid Bella. You just been so caught in your world all your life that you just couldn't see what was a act or not." He told me. "You told me Edward and I should of seen it but I didn't. I thought you betrayed me because of it."

"Bella I just hope in your heart you can forgive me for what I did today. I forgot about our plans and I alone went to confront Tanya. When we both agreed to talk to her together."

"Don't you see Edward, I do forgive you. I do see that you didn't betray me. It may of taken me a few drinks of Jacks and yet again your words of wisdom to make me think but I do forgive you and I see it now." Then I hit him in the arm.

"Ouch! What was that for?" He asked me. "That was for forgetting about our day together." I told him. "Alright I deserve that. But do you have to hit so damn hard." I laughed. "Go back to work." I told him.

I jumped off the tail gate and went inside the truck and turned on the radio. I noticed a cd in the radio. So I clicked it over and would you believe me if I told you the first song was Grenada. I swear it was one of Edward's favorite songs. I hit rewind and turned it up and stepped out of the truck and climb into the back of truck and started to dance.
