We spent a few hours wandering around the zoo. A random
rainstorm forced us to go to the restaurant early, though. Dodging raindrops
was a bit of a challenge with Bella’s bag, but we managed to get there without
incident. It was just across the park, close to the entrance to the zoo. In the
restaurant, Gejas, we were seated immediately in a booth and lost in the quiet
ambience.
“This place has quite a unique odor,” Bella giggled as she
sipped her water.
“It’s the oil that they use to cook the food. Or rather that
we use to cook the food,” I said,
pointing to the small pot on the table. “The smell will stay with us when we
leave, too. The food is really good. And supposedly, it has a romantic feel to
it.”
“It is romantic,” Bella smiled, taking my hand.
“It would be more romantic if I did this,” I smirked
crookedly, getting up and sitting next to her in the booth. She laughed,
draping her leg over mine underneath the table. “Hmmm, much better. It also
allows me to give you this.” In another silver box with a purple bow, I handed
her the necklace I had found. I kissed her lips, tasting her uniquely sweet
mouth.
“Another tiny box,” she chided. I just kept smiling as she
opened it up. With a quiet gasp, she lightly fingered the pendant and looked at
me. “Edward, this is beautiful and so different…where did you find it?”
“The same place I got the keychain,” I said, taking the
pendant out of the box. “The salesman said that it represents strength and
beauty. I knew that I had to get it for you because you are the most beautiful
woman in the world to me and you are so incredibly strong, Bella. Turn around.”
She did and looped her hair into her hand. Carefully, I put the pendant around
her neck, kissing just below her ear. “I love you, baby.”
