Bella was still sleeping when I got back from my hunt. I had to stop by the house for a change of clothes before I made myself comfortable in the only chair inside her room.

The sun was already high up when Bella started to stir. She opened her eyes to gaze around her surroundings and when she caught sight of me, her face immediately lit up and she sat up straight.

"You're here" The happiness in her voice was clear.

"Good Morning" I stood from the chair to sit beside her in bed. She didn't even mind the closeness now.

She was looking at me strangely.

"Your eyes. They're beautiful. Your golden eyes mean you just fed right?" I had to smile.

"Your casual way of asking me if I just fed baffles me knowing what my diet is Bella but yes, I made a quick run before coming back here."

"Coming back? So, you've been here almost the entire night?" Her brows furrowed.

"In a way. I hope you don't find it creepy."

"Oh no, I find it ahm, adorable" She replied shyly." I hope you didn't get bored watching me sleep"

"Hmmm, I don't think I'll ever get bored watching you sleep Bella and besides, you talk in your sleep" I couldn't help but comment. She looked at me horrified and it took a while before she could ask.

"Oh God, what did I say?" She buried her face in her hands with embarrassment.

"You spoke my name." I replied nonchalantly. She buckled her body away from me.

"No, no, no, no!" She panicked.

"Bella, there's nothing to be ashamed of, I actually find it... adorable"

"Go away!" She kept her face buried in her hands.

"Oh Bella, if I could sleep, I would want to dream of you..." And that was true. She looked up and there was that look of fascination on her face again. As much as I wanted to keep this conversation in bed going, I already had plans for the day.

"Come on, time for your breakfast. We're going somewhere" I stood up and she quickly got out of the bed.

"Where to?" She asked curiously.

"You want to know what happens to us against the sun, right?"

Clouds were still covering the sky when we left with the car, but Alice had already seen that there would be plenty of sunlight when we would arrive at our destination. When I found the trail half an hour later, I stopped at the side of the road and got out, followed by Bella who was looking around her surroundings.

"We walk from here. I hope you don't mind a little bit of hiking" I told her and she smiled, waiting for me to lead the way.

There was a trail that led to a deeper part of the woods, but I led her to the opposite direction. The trees were starting to be thicker and the walk more challenging as we were slowly walking on higher ground but when I looked back to check on Bella, she seems to be able to keep up with the pace and not even a hint of tiredness can be shown on her features. We were actually making good time because we were almost there.

"So" She started to say after a few minutes of walking. She was calmly looking around her surroundings.

"Dense forest...vampire alone with a human... no witnesses...a perfect crime scene. Hmmm, nobody is going to see my body for days... or ever" I froze in my tracks. How could she even think that!
