THIRD PERSON (POV)

         

Bella and Edward sit on the deck. A dramatic waterfall  shimmers behind them.

A waitress places a steaming plate of mesquite roasted salmon in front of Edward and nothing in front of Bella. She exits.

  EDWARD

"You're not eating?"

BELLA

" I'm on a special diet."

EDWARD

"Like South Beach?"

BELLA

"Not exactly."

He looks at her curiously as he takes a bite.



EDWARD

"  So how 'bout some answers?"

          BELLA

"Oh ! Yes , . To get to the other side,  and 1 point 772453851."

EDWARD

' I didn't ask for the square root of pi."

BELLA

"  You knew that?"

EDWARD

"  How did you know where I was? "

BELLA

" I didn't."

          He shakes hid head, frustrated,
and turns to go inside

EDWARD

"I'm tried of your games "

         

BELLA

(stops her, sincerely)

" Don't go."

She seems torn by some internal dilemma. Then  she looks at him

EDWARD

'Were you following me?"

BELLA

" I feel very protective of you. I can't see anyone close to you "

EDWARD

"  So that's a yes?"

BELLA

" Yes, I followed you. I tried to  keep my distance...until you needed help."

BELLA

(putting everything together)

"You said before... That you heard
  what those girls were thinking...
Can you... read minds?"

  BELLA

(shrugs)

"I'm thinking of getting a nine-hundred number."

EDWARD

(trying to grasp)

"Alright, so you read minds... What am   I thinking? Wait -- okay now, go."



BELLA

" I have no idea. I can read every
mind in there, except yours. "
     (points at people inside)

"Work, sex, money, sex, sex, boyfriend
    (points at Edward)
"Nothing. It's quite frustrating. "

EDWARD
