'I love you' I smiled up at my gorgeous husband as he said the words that will never get old ever.
'I love you too Edward' I said sighing laying my head down on his chest as the sunlight poured in through the balcony windows out my back which Edward was currently running his silky fingers up and down drawing patterns making me shiver under his touch.
'We should get ready, I believe you agreed to go shopping with Alice today did you not?' He laughed at my grimace as I remember that I did agree.
'It won't be that bad' He said as he walked into the closet to get dressed. I groaned and flopped back down on the bed wishing I could spend all day with Edward.
I felt a pair of steel arms wrap around me in an iron vice and drag me out of the depths of useless sheets scattered around my being. After being dragged into the mini house I call my closet I dressed to make Alice happy (or she would make me change anyway) in a pair of designer shorts and halter top with sunglasses. Bella chic!
Edward stood watching me leaning against the door frame with a small smile on his face as a shimmed with a bit more effort into my sandals just for him. I grabbed his hand and headed or the family house. I was still getting used to running, it thrilled me every time. I was still faster than Edward but I was losing my new born strength fast, something that Emmett never forgot to mention.
As we glided through the front door of the Cullen house I heard Carlisle come off the phone.
'Everything ok Carlisle?' I asked no-one usually rang the home phone unless it was serious.
'Of course Bella, just some old friends.' He smiled 'Alice is looking for you in her room I think.'
Odd I thought as I went up the stairs, Carlisle was never one to avoid a question but I shook it off as I went to find Alice.
'Bella, there you are! We need to get going.' She grabbed my hand and dragged me down the stairs.
As I entered the living room I saw Edward waiting for me on the sofa looking lost in thought. I shook off Alice's grip and slowly walked over to him.
'Honey' I gently said, Edwards head snapped up and smiled brightly as he saw me 'were about to head off'. He stood up and pulled me into a hug and leant down to kiss me on the lips. It was slow and gentle and then turned passionate which I'm not saying I didn't like but was a tad out of character but then again it's not unusual when shopping with Alice for it to last for days on end.
'Have fun and remember I love you always' He kissed my forehead as he whispered in my ear.
'I love you too' I replied grinning like an idiot. I turned to find Alice waiting patiently and with a deep breath turned and walked out the door toward the garage and slid into Alice's yellow baby.
The mall was empty except for the occasional granny. Alice dragged me into every shop possible slinging items off the racks onto my arms for me to try on or just buy, totalling up to three-digit figures. We flitted around the mall like bees in a hive. We were in Victoria Secret when Alice stopped still and stared into space.
'Alice, Alice' She snapped out of her vision daze and looked at my with something in her eyes I couldn't quite place it reminded me of sorrow. 'What did you see?'
'Oh, nothing, just an outfit Jasper will love' and turned on her heel dragging me to the selection of lace that would have scared me half to death ad a human but comes in quite handy at night with my sexy vampire husband.
It was closing time for humans when I finally managed to drag Alice away from the shops and back home to my love. Alice seemed very quite in the car back not driving at her normal fast pace of 200 miles an hour but down to 100.
'Alice, what's the matter?' I asked confused. She smiled at me.
'Nothing Bella'
We drove in silence the rest of the way my head reeling in what was going on, did I do something? We parked in the Cullen drive and went to get out the car but Alice was at my side blocking my way.
'Maybe we should go to cottage' Alice carried on talking but I didn't hear it all I heard was a shrill laugh come from the house. I gave a curious look to Alice and stepped out of the car moving her to the side in the process and walked into the house to see who the voice was. It was familiar but I couldn't place it. The Cullen's were all sitting for standing around the coffee smiling at the guest. As soon as I entered the room everyone's eyes snapped up to mine at once.
'Hey guys, I thought I heard ...' I started speaking only to be interrupted.
'Bella!' I looked to the source and saw the one and only Tanya Denali hand resting on my husband's leg smiling like she was seeing a long lost relative again.
'Tanya.' I said with surprise 'I didn't know you were coming' still shocked.
'Didn't they tell you, I called this morning to say I was coming down to see my relatives' she laughed 'I just can't stay away' her eyes resting on Edward as she said this for a moment longer than should be.
'No they failed to mention it actually' Edward was looking at me with apologizing eyes but I could feel the anger building in the pit of my stomach. They knew I was not a fan of Tanya because of her affection for Edward and so know they hide it from me when she is coming. Alice must have seen it and Edward must have heard it. How dare they? 'I would love to catch up but I must go put my shopping items away in the cottage, I hope to see you later.' I turned away and practically ran out the living room with my stomach in knots, I pulled the bags from the boot and ran to the cottage away from my family.
