I woke up to the startling crash of thunder and blink of lightening. "Ugh…" I grumble to myself throwing the covers back on me. I start to drift off to sleep but then thoughts of Jacob float into my mind. So I sneak my hand out onto my nightstand and grab my phone, I dial a number and it starts to ring. "Hi! You've reached Seth I'm either sleeping or you're not important enough for me to answer the phone leave a message" the person on the other end of the line says. "Hey Seth" I whisper into the phone "It's Bella I was just checking up on….well you probably already know. Bye" Then I clicked the phone Edward had given me shut. I put the phone back and laid my head down on my pillow and drifted off to sleep again.
I woke up the next morning to…Complete Silence. Silence? I got out of my bed and creaked open my door silently "Charlie?" I called down the hall. No answer. So I looked out my window, his Police Cruiser was gone and then there was a note on the fridge. I Read the crinkled piece of paper " Dear Bells, I've gone to work and then I'm going to take myself on a little vacation to take my mind of the whole Jacob situation and how no one is caring and…I'm getting ahead of myself. Sorry I'll miss the wedding, but I know you can be on your own for a few weeks or so. I left my wedding present for you and...Edward on the table don't open it until your wedding say. Love –Dad". After reading the note I threw it in the trash and picked up the box wrapped in silver wrapping paper. "Mom…" I say laughing at how well I knew my father hadn't got this and how my mom had and sent it to him. I put it upstairs and took a shower. I Stepped out of the shower and threw on some clothes and went downstairs. I found my fiancé sitting at the kitchen table smiling at me.
"Good morning" I said smiling. He read my expression and asked "Where's Charlie?" He got up and wrapped his arms around me; I turned around to face him. " He left a note said he was going to work then taking a mini vacation for himself, too much stress I guess and then he left us a wedding gift and we are not allowed to open it until the wedding day, it's up in my room" I finished. I watched Edward lean down and press his cool lips to mine, and I to his, I ran my fingers through his tousled bronze hair. He pulled away, signaling we almost reached his limit point. I grumbled under my breath but he just smirked.
After I had eaten Edward and I decided we'd spend a day together, just me and him no interruptions. We sat in my room, on my bed and talked for a while. "How are you?" he asked "No second thoughts?" he asked again smirking. I snuggled closer to him. "No. Never. Edward I love you and I always will, you're my future" I said. He smiled and place a quick kiss on my lips "and you are my life now" he said. I smiled between kisses and pulled him back down to my lips. I kissed him again and he lay on top of me propping his elbows on the bed, careful not to "hurt" me. I was surprised we were past Edward's Limits. There was a faint tap at the window and we both pulled away. "Come in Alice..." I groaned.
I got up off the bed and opened the window for my pixie like friend. She climbed in and hugged me. "Bella!" She squealed. "Hey Alice" I said after catching my breath. I saw from the corner of my eye Edward's crooked smile creeping across his lips. "That wasn't funny" I growled. He just chuckled. "Anyways…" Alice said a light smile appearing. "Jasper and Emmett want to take Edward out hunting tonight" she said looked at her Brother. "Well I promised Bella I'd spend the day with her" Said Edward looking at Alice. Alice's expression changed from delightful and friendly to a death glare "Go. Now" she said. Edward had decided to make this simpler for everyone and hopped out the window. "Now" Alice said looking at me "Time to go shopping" "Ughhh Come on Alice can't we do this tomorrow" Alice smiled. "Sorry" then before I knew it we were out the door and in her Porsche with Me, Alice, Rosalie and Esme going to some bridal stores.
We pulled into a paved parking lot there were at least 4 other cars there. We walked into the store, it smelled of freshly sprayed perfume and snobby people. I saw one woman she had Blonde hair and was beautifully elegant. When I looked in the mirror I thought in my head "Look at all those other women. They're beautiful and can walk without tripping and-"then my thoughts were caught off by Alice's voice. "Ohh Bella how about this one?" she asked. She picked up a dress on a hanger, it was white of course, It was strapless and the bottom of the dress had a design in silver of curls and flowers. "It's fine" I said. Alice growled under her breath "You've said that about the last 15 dresses I've showed you" she said. I went over to a rack of dresses and found one I actually thought was more than fine. It was BEAUTIFUL! It was white, strapless and went down to about the floor, it had little lines of black going around the bottom and the design was beautiful. "Alice I like this one" I said, Esme, Rosalie and Alice walked over. "Beautiful" Alice said. Then we found a pair of shoes, not to high not to short, just the right size heel so I wouldn't trip. Then we found some earrings too. We went to the cashier and paid for everything, we put everything in the trunk and got in the car and drove back to my house and put everything away. "Bye" I said to Rosalie, Esme, and Alice, by the time I shut the door and actually got to look at the clock it was 10:00.
I was pressed against the door in less than a second and I felt cool lips attacking mine. "Edward?" I asked, just to make sure. "Yes love?" he asked. "What's up with you?" I asked even though I did like this new attitude of his. I Felt him smile in between kisses "Nothing, I've missed you. We got back early around 3:00 and" he said kissing me again "I love you" I pulled away before he could kiss me again. I walked towards the kitchen. I walked towards the fridge and picked a salad and a got a plastic fork out and took a few bites, Edward sat down across from me. I laughed a little when I saw how beat up he look. After I swallowed I said "You look like Hell. What happened?" I laughed a little. Edward chuckled "Nothing" then after I threw the salad away he picked me up bridal style and ran me upstairs into my bedroom.
The next morning I woke up to the sound of Rain beating against the windows. I snuggled into the blankets more; I felt his arm around me though. "Morning" I said. I felt his fingers tracing the curves of my back. "You know.." I heard him say so I turned to face him. "You should Visit Jacob." My eyes Widened. "HUH? Who are you? And what have you done with my Edward?" I asked half joked. I saw a small smile creeping across his lips. "Bella all I'm saying is, visit your friend while you can. I was thinking this through and I'm sure Jacob would like a visit from you" he said. I swallowed hard "I'll call him later" then I linked my arms around his neck and kissed him.
