N e w University Student Union to enhance campus life
Feedback from students to benefit the final product
BY DIANA VALDIVIA
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM is a relatively new
campus that continues to grow in
many aspects. One of the aspects
that the university is taking into
consideration is the planning and
construction of a new student
union. The University Student
Union is currently located in the
Clarke Field House.
The overall purpose of a new
University Student Union is to
strengthen a sense of community
and enhance campus life. A new
University Student Union would
give students a greater space for
programming, student centers,
student government offices, and
gathering spaces. It would also
include retail and food services.
Last spring, the university conducted survey methods to see
how students felt about building a
new student union. In more than
1,200 online surveys completed
by students, 16 intercept interviews, and focus groups consisting of 51 students: approximately
34% see it as a very high priority
for CSUSM to construct a new
University Student Union, about
30% think of it as a high priority,
and only 3% believed it is a very
low priority for CSUSM.
Last December, President
Haynes approved alternative consultation for the advisory process
of building a new University Student Union. Alternative consultation is one of the two options for
building a new University Student
Union. The other option would be
to conduct a referendum.
The same month the Student Fee Advisory Committee
reviewed the information and a
presentation of the concept of
building a new University Student Union.
The alternative consultation
includes a bigger opportunity
for students' input. It is currently
offering open forums for general
student body, faculty, and staff.
There are also specific forums
for ASI Board of Directors, University Student Union Advisory
Board, presidents and treasurers
of student organizations, Orientation Team, and Student Affairs
Leadership Team.
The alternative consultation
also includes online forms students can fill out to voice their
opinions and give feedback.
During the rest of February and versity Student Union Task Force
March, the advisory process will Members. Other USU Task Force

President Haynes. This June,
President Haynes will review the
report and make afinaldecision.
The development of the new
University Student Union will
be in two phases. Phase I would
be around 58,576 sq. ft. and have
a price tag of about $50 million.
Student fees willfund almost $47
jnillion and more than $3 million
will come from vendors.
The new building would include
,jpod services such as a coffee
shop, dining, a convenience jtore,
and three of six fast food con; cepts. It would g|so house conference and meetiiig ìooms, student
areas, ASI offices, Student Life
and Leadership, the Cross Cultural Center, the Women's Center,
the Pride Center, among others.
The University Student Union
would open fall 2013.
The Clarke is almost 34,400
sq ft. The projected building for
phase I of the University Student Union would be more than
58,500 sq. ft.
Phase II would be more than
85,800 sq. ft. and cost approximately $70 million. Phase II will
depend on the availability of
funds, the success of Phase I, and
third party funding. It would consist of more food services, conference and meeting rooms, student lounges, and student union
offices. Other centers in Phase
II would include the Veteran's
Center and a Commuter Student
Center.
The existing student union fee
of$65 would be used to fundPhase
Courtesy of CSUSM Planning, Design & Construction I. In thèfiscalyear 2010/2011 the
|
r
previously approved fee would
increase to $80.
There are arguments from both
sides supporting the fee proposal
and against the fee proposal. One
of the arguments that support
the fee proposal is that this new
student union will create opportunities for student employment,
campus involvement, and leadership development. Another
positive aspect is that it gives the
campus more venues to study, and
both formal and informal spaces
for meeting and dining.
Some students argue that they
will no longer be at the campus
when the University Student
Union opens in 2013 and do
not see the sense in paying for
a building they will not be able
to use. Hand adds the students
would be able to have a sense of
pride, "they are going to able to
look back and say 'I contributed
to that.'" Quinn explains that it is
a great way for students to leave
a mark, "it is an opportunity to
leave a legacy." A similar situation occurred with the construction of The Clarke when students
approved an increase in fees even
though they would not use it.

Underground Undergrads
T HE P RIDE
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
The path to the American dream is often
difficult, but for an undocumented student
with the dream of becoming a citizen, there
is currently no path. The Dream Act, a
bipartisan legislation, will provide a legal
path to residency for children of undocumented aliens.
The California Faculty Association sponsored an open forum on Thursday, February 12 to a standing room only crowd. The
forum, titled Underground Undergrads,
featured student speakers from UCLA.
Sophia Carranza, a UCLA student/Intern
for Underground Undergrads, brought the
audience to tears as she told the heartrending story of how she discovered, at age 18,
she was not a citizen.
Carranza is a member of an ever-growing group of young people who want to
become citizens, but are technically illegal
aliens subject to deportation. Many of these
students hang their hopes on the "Dream
Act."
Matias Ramos, Intern for UCLA Labor
Center, explained that the speakers were
undocumented students who were "working
to expand awareness of the life of undocumented students and promote passage of
the Dream Act. We go to high schools and
community colleges and tell students about
their opportunities in higher education. We
also network with other organizations like
Espiritu here at CSUSM."
The Espiritu de Nuestro Futuro goal is to
provide support and networking opportunities to AB 540 students. Governor Davis
signed AB 540, a law that allows undocumented students in California community
and state college systems to attend college without paying non-residency fees, in
2001. One requirement of AB 540 is that
the student must file an application for residency.
"I have been in the process for years...
my whole family has been in the process...
it just takes so long," Carranza responded
when asked about her application status.
"Some of my top students are AB 540,"
said Espiritu faculty advisor Silverio Haro.
"[For them] there is no retreat, it is full
steam ahead."
Ramos hopes that the Dream Act will
finally pass with Obama as President. He
Tuesday; February
said there are many undocumented students
and graduates who are just waiting for their
chance to become citizens and make a difference.
"We consider ourselves Americans,"
Ramos stated.
Public education was established in the
1700s as the primary means to create a more
informed and capable citizen who could
contribute to the betterment of the country.
That is one reason the law mandates people
attend school. So if a person completes high
school and is in good standing with the law,
should that not be sufficient to declare you
a citizen? And if you go on to college, and
work to improve your community, shouldn't
that be sufficient? Why is being bora here
the major prerequisite to citizenship?

R OTC at C SUSM
Campus proposal creates controversy
BY MATT LEWIS
Pride Staff Writer
The introduction of Army ROTC
courses to the curriculum is raising
controversy at Cal State University San Marcos. In a mass e-mail
received by much of the student
body, CSUSM administration
informed everyone that a proposal
had been made that the school start
offering Army ROTC courses. Like
the ROTC programs of many surrounding high schools, military
personnel would set classrooms and
campus areas aside for pre-military
training and education.
Some see the ROTC's presence
as beneficial to the campus. "The
presence of the ROTC means a lot
more people on campus, and could
bring a lot of potential students to
our school" said Joan Anderson,
an NWP teacher consultant at Cal
State.
However, the main problem lies
in the military's stance on sexual
orientation conflicting with the
campus's policy of non-discrimination. In response to this, the school's
Academic Senate started a study
group to determine students' opinions on the matter. "The goal of the
study group is to gauge public opinion and deliberate on the subject;
no more, no less," said Don Barrett,
the co-chair of the appointed study
group. The LBGT group on campus
has also taken a neutral stance on
this issue. "Because there are so
many conflicting opinions between
members, we don't have a strong
stance ill either direction."
Because of the complex issues
involved with this conflict of interest, it is hard for many on campus
to take a decisive stance. Since
Image courtesy ofgoarmy.com
CSUSM is such a diverse campus,
students who have classes together
or work side-by-side are finding
it hard to oppose someone who
they only disagree with on one
issue. While other California State
schools like Fullerton and Fresno
have ROTC, the fact is that CSUSM
is also only a quarter as old as they
are. The same goes for other local
campuses, like USD, which does
not really have this kind of conflict.
They are, on paper anyway, a
catholic university. SDSU however, has an Army and Navy
ROTC program in addition to
being a non-discriminatory
campus. Could this formula
work at CSUSM as well?
Whatever decision happens, it
will definitely have an effect on
campus. Establishing an ROTC
program will have conflictions
with CSUSM students who want
to be a part, but are discriminated
against because of the military's
policy. On the other side of the
coin, however, an ROTC program will bring more students
and funding to CSUSM. In addition, it would get our campus one
step closer to extinguishing the
idea that we are a "commuter
school" that is not comparable
with the other San Diego college
campuses. The decision will ultimately be left up to the student
body on whether or not the program will pass. A public forum
town hall meeting will take place
on February 24 from 12:00 12:50 pm, in Markstein Hall
125. Since it takes place during
U-Hour, students will be able
to attend this meeting and have
the opportunity to make their
opinions known. If this issue is
believed to be either beneficial
or not for the campus, take this
chance to make a change.

Rock stars g o to college too
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Senior Staff Writer
Rock and Roll has never
been so smart
Many of the most prominent
rockers and singers are college
graduates
From American Idol stars,
to punk rock legends, many
famous musicians conquered
the college world as well as
the music universe.
Bad Religion's frontman,
Greg G raffin, may not look
like a brain, but underneath
his punk rock shell, he is a
man of science. The title of his
PhD Zoology thesis: "Monism,
Atheism and the Naturalist Worldview: Perspectives
from Evolutionary Biology,"
concentrated on prehistoric
evolution, with a philosophical emphasis on the dynamics
between evolution and religion. G raffin worked as the
principal investigator with the
Cornell University Evolution
Organization (cornellevolutionproject.org). G raffin also
challenged his intellect by
becoming a professor at UCLA,
he taught Life Science 1. "I
believe thoughts and ideas are
far more long-lived than fashion. Those are the things that I
try to inspire young people to
do, whether i t is in the lecture
hall or o ajstage on the Warped
T oui\ ^aid G raffin in an interview for the "Daily Bruin," the
UCLA student newspaper.
G raffin wasn't only academ,,
ically inclined. In the early
days of Bad Religion as an
unsigned artist, G raffin took
a business risk and started
his own record label, Epitaph.
Epitaph later fathered other
great punk bands like The
Offspring, Pennywise, NO FX
and Rancid that revolutionized
the stale punk era of the 1990s.
His music endeavors never
cramped his academic style,
but instead complimented one
another. Bad Religion's 13
Album, "Empire Strikes First,"
took a very serious and political stance on the U.S. government's reactions to 9/11. Graffin's intellectual charm seeps
in the song "Let Them E at
War."
Nerdy glasses and preppy
cardigans really must have
helped Cuomo Rivers on the
east coast in earning his English Degree at prestigious Harvard University. Lead singer
of the garage-band Weezer,
Rivers graduated in 2006 after
intermittently attending Harvard since 1995 (Spin.com).
Lead singer for notorious
rock band, The Doors, Jim
Morrison was a UCLA graduate and enjoyed making short
films. He participated in the
School of Theater, Film and
Television as he earned his
Bachelor's in Theatre Arts,
according to UCLA's website.
ftexter TSoliand, lead singer
for the Offspring took a similar route of academics and
musical achievements as Bad
Religion's Greg G raffin. Holland studied at USC for his
bachelor's in biology in 1988,
and two years later earned a
Master's in Molecular Biology
from USC, according to the
"Daily Trojan," USC's daily
student newspaper. A fter gaining great musical success with
the Offspring's debut album,
"Smash," on Epitaph, Holland
began his own record label
Nitro, which features rockers,
A.F.I.
American Idol winner of
2005, Carrie Underwood was
the f irst country star to come
from the hit show. Underwood
left to audition for American
Idol with only three units left
to graduate. She went back to
school a year later and completed her degree in Mass Communications with an emphasis
in Journalism, according to
People magazine.
Brian May, guitarist from
the band Queen, studied astrophysics at Imperial College
in London, and a fter Queen's
great music success, May went
back to finish up his PhD in
astrophysics. The title of his
thesis is "A Survey of Radial
Velocities in the Zodiacal
Dust Cloud." In 2007, May
became the chancellor of Liverpool's John Moores University, according to LJMU website.
Passion for music doesn't
have to clash with academics,
following both dreams is possible.

Certified personal training program launched for students
Clarke Field House offers fitness and wellness instruction
BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ
Pride Staff Writer
The Clarke Field House/University Student Union, launched
its first Certified Personal Training Program this month. Lisa
Dickinson, Fitness and Wellness
Coordinator, says the goal of the
program is to help individuals
meet their fitness goals and to
provide a service to the campus
community in a familiar environment.
"The student-centered program allows for an excellent
work experience opportunity
for new and entry-level personal
trainers to build their professional skill set while working on
campus," Dickinson said.
The program consists of three
Cal State San Marcos students
who are nationally certified personal trainers and Kinesiology
majors. Dickinson added that the
program plans to add more trainers in the future.
Membership in the program
requires that students are members of the Clarke Field House/
University Student Union as
well as the price of the personal
training session or package.
Current matriculated students
are automatically members after
paying the university, student
union fee when tuition is paid.
Others, such m ^ ^ m y ^ m f f ;
and alumni can be members
once they pay a membership fee.
The membership fee changes
depending on the method of
payment and membership type.
Once a member, enrollment in
the program requires students to
sign up by completing a series
of forms, such as a contract and
health questionnaire, an initial
consultation with the personal
trainer, and payment for the
sessions or package. Information about the program, including forms, personal trainer profiles, and the fee schedule can be
found at http://www.csusm.edu/
theclarke/clarkept/rates.html.
Gracie DelMar, a current student
at Cal State San Marcos, had her
first personal training session
and consultation on February
3. DelMar said this was her first
experience having a personal
training session because "it's too
expensive" in other gyms she has
visited. The motivation factor
and flexibility of the trainer's
schedules is one of the additional
benefits of the program, DelMar
said. Since the personal trainers
are also students, their schedules
of availability vary. The Clarke
Field House/University Student
Union is open as late as 10 p.m.
on most weeknights, convenient
for those students who may want
to train late after classp^IMMar
added that sh£ is haf
personal trainer Weston. "He
has helped me with my form,
and shown me how to exercise
properly and taken into consideration my goals and helping me
work towards those goals," said
DelMar.
Cal State University San
Marcos student Weston Ryan
is a kinesiology major with
an emphasis in pre-physical
therapy, and certified personal
trainer. Kinesiology is the study
of human movement and the
major at CSUSM includes four
concentrations to choose from.
Ryan is a freshman who passed
his certified personal trainer
exam with the National Exercise
Trainer's Association (NETA) in
the fall of 2008.
Although only a freshmen, Ryan is very involved
on campus. He is a member of
CSUSM's Track and Field, the
Cross Country Team, recently
pledged to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and aspires to be a physical
therapist in the future. Ryan's
inspiration for what he does is
helping others and contributing
to their health and fitness success.
"Most important is being able
to help people and improve the
lives of others," Ryan said. Ryan
sees the new Certified Personal
Training Program at CSUSM
as a great benefit. The flexible
hours, state-of-the-art facility,
experienced mentors, and the
ability to develop professionally are some of the reasons that
the program is so great, Ryan
explained.
To learn more about the program, including how to join
as a client or receive information about becoming a certified
personal trainer, please e-mail
clarkept@csusm.edu.

RX Stress herbal tea
BY MATT LEWIS
Pride Staff Writer
Arizona teas, particularly the
Green tea, are widespread in their
popularity these days. The drinks
have varied flavors (the Arnold
Palmer is a favorite), are relatively
cheap (99 cents for a tall can), and
taste a lot less terrible than Powerade. The gimmick ofthe Arizona
Beverage company (ironically
located in New York and Canada)
is that its teas offer a healthy alternative to sodas and contain the
all-important buzzword: "antioxidants." While it is true that some
teas contain antioxidants that can
help prevent certain cancers, technically McDonald's can make the
same claim with the tomatoes it
puts on its Big Macs.
Passing by the usual flavors, the
Arizona RX Stress Herbal Iced
tea is a little bit harder to find. The
unique faded labeling makes the
bottles stand out, making them
seem more like bottles of oldtimey snake oil than the usual
sugar water. The label claims that
it is a "refreshing all-natural tonic"
but also advises, "This product is
a food, not a drug," which seems
to be strange claim for a bottled
liquid to make. The liquid itself
has a dark amber coloration with
the consistency of whiskey or
apple juice. This was in stark contrast to the bright yellow color of
the RX Energy tea, which was,
quite frankly, terrifying.
The RX drinks (Stress and
Herbal) are the only two herbal
teas Arizona offers. The main differences between these and the
regular teas is that they
have significantly less
sugar (a 15 gram difference) and instead of
having 100% Vitamin C, contain
25% of your daily
value of vitamins B6 and B12.
In addition, this
drink is caffeinefree, which in itself
is a miracle to find
in almost any other
liquid (even water).
While drinking,
the tea tastes like
a balanced battle
between the two
main ingredients,
black tea and green
tea. The black tea is
definitely present, but
the green tea rounds it out with
sweetness before a bitter taste
is detected. The thing particularly nice about this tea is that
it has more the consistency of
real teas, and is less syrupy
than the regular Arizonas.
So, will the RX Stress
relieve stress? Perhaps, if
being really thirsty stresses
you out more than anything.
However, in comparison to other drinks that
are packed with sugar,
caffeine, and bogus
supplements, it is
the better choice.
Containing calming tea ingredients like chamomile and ginseng, it will help
you a lot better
after a long day
of classes than
chugging a Monster will. So if
you are looking
for a refreshing
beverage, pick
it up. It will not,
however, cure
your sinus infection.

The W orld's Easiest
The Money Pit
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
The Money Pit is a new drivethru restaurant in San Marcos.
Located on the corner of Mission
and Bennett Ave a few miles east
of CSUSM, it is short trip, even
by bike or walking. The owner,
Demetri Kellafinos, took over a
long deserted bank and turned
it into a family run restaurant.
Demetri and his son Artemios,
'Arte', built the Money Pit themselves. "We put in every nail,
screw, and tile," Arte said.
The Money Pit first opened
in December 2008, employing
about 25 workers.
Their motto is "We don't cook
the food till you order it." All
of the food is prepared in-house
and made fresh. The menu runs
the gamut from breakfast foods,
to burgers, sandwiches, and
salads. There is also ice cream
and pastries for the sweet tooth.
The chocolate shake is thick
and chocolaty. Their prices are
well within the starving student
budget with a full meal available
for under $6.00.
"We wanted the food to be
affordable," Arte said.
The whole project speaks to
ingenuity and hard work. Arte
points out that the tile floor is all
recycled tile from the bank or
discarded tile chips from local
tile stores. The décor is a collage
of pictures,filmposters, and real
money from the US and other
countries as well as monopoly
money and poker chips. The old
vault door is center stage, with
the vault now used for dry storage.
Almost all of the film posters
refer to money in some fashion:
Fist Full of Dollars, The Bank
Job, Oceans 11 and others. On
the ceiling over the cashier's
counter is $250 worth of pennies, "each one of which I put up
there with glue," Arte recalled
with a slight grimace. The wood
tables and benches all have some
kind of money under glass. On
one table is an old monopoly set
that Arte said they used to play
with as kids. "We emptied out
our garage and shopped the swap
meets collecting old automobile
James B. Beam Distilling Co.
distills and bottles Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
in Frankfort, Kentucky. Over 200
years ago, the German Boehm
family migrated to early America.
Through the years the distillery
business remained in the family lineage. Officially, the company sold
their distillery in 1920 as Prohibition
began. In 1933, when Prohibition
ended, the company built a new distillery. In 1946, Jim Beam became
a global brand. In 2007, Fred Noe
III, the founder Jacob Beam's greatgreat-great-great- grandson, took
ownership.
I'm going to break the third person
mode for this article. I know it's tasteless, but this is a tasty treat that my
brother and I created two years ago.
My brother had recently moved back
to California after having lived in
Georgia for two years. We
were and are very close.
Needless to say, when he
returned we had a lot of
catching up to do.
One night we were
rummaging through
the kitchen. We had
a bottle of Jim Beam
and some Dr. Pepper.
Having grown up
with our dad taking
oversized jumbo cups
of Dr. Pepper to work
every day, we had to
carry the tradition by always having
Dr. Pepper in the home. I broke
family tradition and became a Diet
Coke drinker but that story is for
another time. We can't recall who
actually created it. We kind of just
looked at each other without saying
words. Our inner consciences were
talking. He grabbed the Jim Beam,
and I the Dr. Pepper. We nicknamed
the drink "The Beamer." The rest is
Thompson history.
To create the pleasantly sweet
tasting beverage, fill a cup with three
fourths of ice. Add one ounce of Jim
Beam per half cup of Dr. Pepper.
Let the foam dissipate before enjoying. Try it with Diet Dr. Pepper for
fewer calories or switch out Dr.
Pepper for Diet Coke and enjoy a
"Creamer." For extra pizzazz, add a
few slices of peach without the skin
for an extravagant delight If serving more than one, refer to them as
"The Beam Team."
With any alcohol infused occasion
exercise caution
and
license plates and other odds
and ends."
The Pit appeals to young
and old alike with its good
food, low prices, interesting
décor, and music from the
60s and 70s. Patrons say they
like the food, the atmosphere,
and easy access with seating
inside and out.
Demetri came to the US
in 1974 from Greece as an
undocumented alien. He
has worked in the restaurant
business for years. His latest
dream began to take shape
toward the end of 2007 when
he finally acquired the old
bank. With a year in the planning and getting licensing, and
several months rehabilitating
the interior, Arte says, "It's
nice to see things finally get
going and making money."

University Student Union Student Forums
As Cal State San Marcos continues to grow and approach its 20 anniversary, we are
exploring options for constructing a facility for campus life, programming, social
interactions, and leadership development that will impact the entire campus community.
The proposed University Student Union (USU) project will enhance the quality of campus
life by providing a mix of informal gathering spaces, retail and food services, and venues
for events. However, an increase to the existing Student Union fee would be necessary to
support construction and ongoing operational costs associated with the facility.
CSUSM will be utilizing an alternative consultation process which provides opportunities
for student, faculty, and staff input regarding the proposed USU building and student fee
increase through forums and a website (http://www.csusm.edu/usu/) designed to be both
educational and a means to obtain feedback. This feedback will then be compiled into a
report and presented to the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Haynes.
Your participation is crucial to the process since the proposed University Student Union
will have broad implications affecting many aspects of campus life. By attending one of
the forums, you will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed building, view
artist renderings, ask questions and provide us with your thoughts and ideas.
The open student forums are scheduled as follows:

A ne Brun
BY AMY SALISBURY
Faes & Places Editor
I've yet to determine whether it
is of greater benefit for me to plug
unknown musicians or just talk
about who I want, famous or otherwise. Should I feel a moral inclination to promote starving artists
with indiscernible smidgens of
talent to equally starving college
students? Well, probably, but what
do I care if an album sells?
I know I don't need to worry
about Ane Brun's album selling. An impromptu trip to Lou's
Records in Encinitas delivered a
rack promising her latest album,
Changing ofthe Seasons. I should
mention that the rack was empty.
Ane Brunvoll, better known
as Ane Brun, is a Norwegian
singer/songwriter and co-founder
of DetErMine Records with The
Tiny's Ellekari Larsson. She didn't
take up music until she was about
21 years old, and she released her
debut album, Spending Time with
Morgan, five years later in 2003.
The album catapulted Brun into
the European spotlight, garnering
speed as it crossed the Atlantic
and landed in America. Not until
her third studio release, Changing
of the Seasons, in 2008, did eyebrows truly raise across the pond.
I should be surprised to have
seen this bare rack, but I'm not. I
know exactly why this independently pressed album's allotment
sold out in this little corner of the
world. Ane Brun is appealing. She
exudes candor like you might see
in faces of green musicians on the
streets playing for anyone who
will listen. But she's good. Think
Nick Drake plus Bjork minus the
depression and eccentricity.
The album's first track, "The
Treehouse Song," is made of
organic acoustics with a tempo
guaranteed to induce some head
nods. Shallow drums are the foundation for a reserved strum and
bassline. Her clean soprano is rich
with vibrato and layered harmo-
nies, breathing a story of a lost
lover's dream. As simple as Brun's
compositions are, they haunt whatever minds they visit until their
otherworldly business is finished.
I should label Ane Brun as an
Indie musician, the kind of musician you casually mention at a
show in the hopes of collecting
some street cred. I should wonder
who bought those albums at Lou's,
and if they realized what they
bought. So, is she famous? Maybe
not, but she should be.
Twilight: A N ight Beneath the Midnight Sun
Part 2 : Bella's Perspective
BY KEVIN CHATHAM
Pride Staff Writer
"Off," Bella heard the words
escape her mouth; surprised by
the authority of her own voice.
"I'm not afraid," Edward
breathed, moving Bella's hands
to his shirtfront, careful to graze
his buttons with her fingertips. "I
want you Bella, I want all of you."
Bella felt her breath increase, her
pulse race, and her thoughts scatter like vapor.
She watched Edward peel off
his shirt, revealing a torso of
immortalized stone - a perfect taut
body all dusted with fine, bronze
hair in all the right places. Bella
watched the last rays of twilight
hit Edward's alabaster skin. He
glittered, briefly, the soft diamond
reflections danced wildly around
him before dissipating into the
darkness.
"I love you Bella," Edward
whispered, his voice sending
chills down Bella's neck.
Then they kissed again; less
desperate this time, gentle and
exploring. Bella arched up onto
her toes, her body rising with passion. She pushed her hands into
Edward's chest, fingers spread to
touch as much of him as she possible. When the kiss broke Bella
started to mouth a path down
Edward's body, cataloguing every
contour of his flawless physique.
She scraped a fingernail over a
tiny erect nipple, evoking a gasp
of pleasure that made Edward
shudder aloud. Then she moved
her mouth across his chest using
her tongue expertly, teasing the
soft strands of hair there. Bella
felt Edward's strong hands ripping her clothes off, she heard herself sighing his name as he ripped
apart what remained of Her clothing and his own. There they stood
motionless, heat emanating from
their tense bodies.
"I love you Edward," she
answered finally, as the couple
descended onto a bed that smelled
distinctly of Edward Cullen, a
kind of aromatic masculinity.
Edward's lips were full and strong,
alternately nudging and tugging
on Bella's lower lip. Edward's
tongue, tentative atfirst,was sliding deep into Bella's mouth.
"You are the most beautiful
thing I have ever seen," he whispered, drawing shudders of pleasure from Bella from both his
words and the ghostly touches of
his fingertips as the skated across
her inner thighs.
Bella answered back with a
deep kiss, pressing Edward deeper
into the bed and into a sea of pillows. She licked a long wet path
up Edward's inner thigh, smiling
to herself at the gasps from above.
She couldn't wait any more,
couldn't tease, unable to draw out
the anticipatory phase. She heard
Edward's sharp intake of breath
as she moved in. Hands clumsily
found her head, tangling themselves in her hair as she started
to move, encouraging but never
overwhelming her motions. She
felt him tremble below her, his
body moving involuntarily. Bella
felt the hands in her hair tighten
and knew Edward was close. Then
she realized that Edward's hands
weren't tightening in her hair, they
were trying to pull her away. Bella
complied, moving away to meet
his gaze.
"Not yet..." Edward whispered
moving above her. As the words
left his lips Bella couldn't help but
notice the tiny foil square between
his fingers, and the devilish grin
painted across Edward's face.
