Unraveled
A Twilight Fanfiction
I signed happily as I leaned back on my hands, staring up at the tree tops surrounding the meadow. Sunlight beat down on me, causing my skin to glitter as if it were embedded with a million little diamonds. Edward, my angel, rested beside me. He sparkled also. Of course, this was only a dream. It had to be, the wedding wasn't for another three days and then, only then, would I get what I truly wanted. Edward, for the rest of eternity. I could think of nothing that would make me happier. Edward was my life, I had completely forgiven him for leaving me and I was euphoric that Victoria was dead and wouldn't be bothering us anymore. I looked at Edward and felt a rush of pure love shoot through me.
Edward turned to me and smiled my favorite crooked smile before he leaned in and kissed me gently on the lips. Had my heart still beat it would have been hammering in my chest as if it wanted to escape. My hand slowly drifted up and brushed through his soft, bronze hair as I broke the kiss with a soft smile. "I love you, Edward," I told him as I leaned against him. No place would ever be content for me without him by my side. With him, anywhere was pure Heaven and that would never, ever change.
I woke up to Edward's cold lips on my neck, whispering in my ear between kisses that it was time to get up. I groaned and buried my face into my pillow, sighing as I knew he was right. "I don't even have school and I have to wake up early. Where on Earth is the freedom here?" I heard him chuckle softly and felt him press his lips to my hair in a gentle kiss.
"Don't be silly, Bella. It's almost noon. And I must say you must have been having an interesting dream. You talked a lot, you know. Quite entertaining, my beautiful Bella"
I felt the blood rush directly to my face as he called me his, and as he hinted towards the dream. I buried my face in my hands and blushed so much I thought the blood vessels in my face would burst. Edward, bless him, wrapped his stone arms around my and kissed my hair with a soft laugh. I sighed softly and leaned on him, knowing he wouldn't stagger under my weight.
"You know, I was dreaming us, Edward. I dreamed we were in our meadow and the sun was shining, both of us were glittering and it was just so perfect. I never felt happier than I did right then. Except for when I'm with you of course. Everyday I spend with you is a completely new and wonderful experience for me. I love you more and more each minute we're together. Even when you're gone to hunt. I love you"
I looked up at his beautiful face and smiled gently. He leaned down and pressed his lips against mine in a sweet kiss. I could feel his love for me pouring out of him in this kiss as he wrapped his arms around me, as simple as it was, and I almost cried from the overwhelming joy. I was so happy this man, this angel, was mine. He only wanted me, of all people. He'd told me time and time again that I don't see myself clearly, that I truly am the most beautiful creature he has ever seen. I used to doubt him but now, now I'm starting to believe he really thinks that about me. My heart soars every time he tells me, and my face turns cherry red.
Emmett, his "adopted" brother, think's my blushing is absolutely hilarious. Especially when I'm embarrassed from falling or otherwise finding a way to minorly hurt myself. I don't really find it that fun but hey, he's almost family. In my heart, he and rest of the Cullen family were already. Alice, Jasper, Esme, Carlisle, and even the beautifully intimidating Rosalie. I loved them all and thought of them as family in my heart, I could hardly wait until they really were my family.
I broke my kiss with Edward, remembering my need for oxygen. I couldn't wait until I was a vampire, like him, so that I wouldn't need to breathe and constantly break out kisses after what seamed like only a short second of a brief, beautiful Heaven. Never would I understand what this man saw in my, but as long as I had him, I was happier than any lottery winner in the world.
Edward chuckled suddenly and I blushed as my stomach chose that moment to growl and make my hunger known. I wrapped my arms around myself as if to will it to not growl again. But, as always, fate was against me and it growled again, a little louder this time. "Looks like it's breakfast time for the human. Come on Bella, you need to eat now"
"I'm not the only hungry one." I lifted my hand and gently brushed my knuckles over his cheekbone as I stared at his eyes that were almost black now. He sighed and closed his eyes, turning into my touch. I knew he enjoyed the warmth of my skin against his icy temperature so I enjoyed giving him the pleasure. He took my hand, pressing the palm to his nose as he inhaled deeply and let out a soft sigh.
"Bella. Bella, Bella, Bella. You have no idea how unbelievably tempting you are. And I hate to do this but, Alice is taking you shopping today. She claims you still need to get center pieces for the tables at the wedding, a dress, shoes, and a few other things to make it perfect. I tried to talk her out of it but she gave me this...look. It was sinister, and besides. I need to hunt, so it's kind of perfect. Don't you think?" He looked at me with a glimmer of hope in his eyes that I wouldn't be angry about having to shop with Alice.
Instead, I just sighed and shook my head. "Alice is going to kill me with all this shopping. Honestly, it's like she can't exist if she doesn't shop every day." I made my way downstairs with Edward behind me and fixed myself a bowl of cereal in the kitchen as he sat down. I sat at the table across from him and slowly took a bite, chewing slowly. I didn't want to eat that fast because I wanted as much time with Edward as I could get before Alice dragged me away and forced me into dressing rooms all day. I sighed at the thought, shopping with Alice. I loved her, honestly, but I didn't like being used as her own personal, real-life fashion Barbie. It just wasn't fun for me. But if she was happy, that was good.
When I was finished eating I went back up to my room and dressed in a designer skirt that Alive bought for me. It was pink and black plaid, kind of a school-girl design. I wore a white collared button down shirt with cuffs and a pink vest over it. On my feet I wore knee-high white socks and a pair of black low-rise edge shoes. I knew the outfit would make Alice happy, that's why I wore it. I brushed my hair until it shined then applied a little bit of eyeliner around my eyes and a very light about of light pink eyeshadow and rose colored blush. I finished it off with a light coat of primrose colored lipstick and clear lip gloss for shine.
I smiled at myself in the mirror. For once I actually felt pretty, without Alice playing dress-up Barbie on me. Edward came up behind me, wrapping his strong arms around my waist and kissing the hollow of my neck softly. "You look absolutely stunning Bella. Alice will be pleased when she sees you." I smiled, happy that he was so sure of Alice approving in my outfit. I blushed heavily at his words, though, making my cheeks even darker.
Edward had the ability to make my blush more than anyone else. How he did it, I don't know. He found it adorable when I blushed, he said he liked the warmth it gave off. I sighed as I grabbed a shoulder bag Alice had bought me and put my wallet in it. I really don't know what she though I needed it for, I mean, my purse was perfectly fine. Oh well, I suppose this did look a little better with that I was wearing. I couldn't believe it, I actually cared if something matched my outfit. Alice was getting to me way too much.
Edward and I walked back downstairs and sat in the living room just curling up on the couch while we waited for Alice to arrive. Edward pressed kisses in my hair as I closed my eyes and hummed a tune in my head. I sighed softly as I heard the door bell ring and sat up as Alice appeared before me. She was bouncing on her toes she was so excited.
I stood and smiled slightly toward her. I saw her eyes light up as she took in my outfit. The next thing I knew I was locked in a hug as she squealed and gushed over how much she loved it. Finally, Edward got her off of me and I fell back on the couch, panting for air. Wow, excited vampires hugged a little too tight.
Alice gave me an apologetic look. "Sorry Bella. It's just, you look so amazing. I new you would start to like wearing designer clothes. So how does it feel? You look absolutely amazing!" She stared at me intently with a hug smile on her face. I laughed slightly and shook my head as Edward pulled my into a soft, loving embrace.
"They feel like clothes. They are a bit more comfortable though, I suppose. I really like these shoes. They're comfortable, stylish, and they won't cause me to fall and break my neck. Always a good thing, for me anyway"
Alice's bell like laughter filled the room as she grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "Come on Bella, we have a lot to do today. Edward, go hunt. You're eyes are as dark as my hair. And with that, Alice had me in her car and we were headed for Seattle to go to, gulp, shopping.
Hope you all liked it. I know it's really not that long but this IS my first fanfiction! Please review! Be gentle? Please...I know it's probably not all that great considering I have to type it on NotePad...ugh!
