“Edward, can we stop by school? I forgot my notebook in my locker.” Bella’s beautiful voice rang through the air. I couldn’t help but comply to this simple wish – to ay wish of hers. Seconds later we were parked in the school lot.

“I’ll wait for you here,” I said.

“Okay. Be right back,” she responded as she got out.

Her locker wasn’t too far, but it was out of view of the parking lot. Perhaps my later plans could be worked out here. This would certainly be different.

I stepped out and closed the door, looking around. My angel was nowhere in sight. When she came back and found the car empty, I figured she would go to the cafeteria to look first. It seemed logical, so I strolled in that direction.

I lied down on a table out in the open. Eyes closed, arms crossed, and breathing regular, I focused on the sounds of Bella’s steps.

“Edward?” she called, clearly scared. I didn’t respond – it would completely ruin my surprise. Minutes later, just as I expected, she turned the corner to face the cafeteria. However, much to my disappointment, she stopped in her tracks and watched me.

I briefly opened my right eye, the one she could not clearly see, and found the sun was occasionally revealed from behind the clouds. The wind also blew by periodically to ruffle my hair.

It was so relaxing to be in the presence of an angel. Her calming heartbeat occasionally skipped when the sunlight shone again. She just stood there, relaxed. Her mind was still silent to me, and I longed to know what she was thinking. Perhaps I was dazzling her as she claimed I did frequently. That thought brought a smile to my lips.

She must have noticed, for her beat sped up creating a musical piece to fill my ears. I jumped up and leapt at her in one swift movement. Careful not to make my movements hurt, I wrapped myself around her small body and took the impact of the hit on my back. Based on the sound ringing in my ears, she was initially surprised by quickly relaxed into my hold. I smiled at myself, knowing that she was happy and content with my actions.
