"I promise to love you forever- everyday of forever. Will you marry me?"
I was in a deep sleep, dreaming of the day Edward proposed to me, but it only took Edward's touch to wake me up. His face was close to mine and he smiled the crooked smile I fell in love with.
"Morning, Mrs. Cullen." He leaned in closer and gently pressed his cold lips to my forehead.
"Morning, Edward." I smiled back at his now deep gold eyes and was lost in them for what seemed like an hour…
"Sorry to wake you, but our flight is in three hours, and we better get going." He said apologetically and took my hand gently to get me off of our bed. I stumbled a little, & then regained my balance. "Now you've got everything you need, right? You're not missing anything?"
"Umm…yeah. I got it all." I was still a little dozed from the deep sleep that I was previously in.
"Alright, then just take a quick shower and get ready. I'll be downstairs talking the Carlisle for a bit, okay?"
"Okay, I'll be quick." I smiled at him and turned toward the bathroom door. Edward grabbed my hand again.
"Love you, Bella." He looked at me through his soft eyes. If looks could kill I would have been long gone. I felt so plain compared to him: so normal, no one worth loving. Even after being turned to a vampire, I felt as though Edward's beauty was incomparable.
I smiled back at him. "Love you too, Edward."
And then he turned back and left our room. I walked into my closet to get something comfortable (that wasn't a t-shirt & sweatpants) to wear on the plain. Ever since my closet was invaded by Alice, picking out an outfit just got harder. I decided to go with bermuda shorts and a zip-up hoodie and went straight into the shower.
Edward and I got married a week ago, and as he promised; he turned me into a vampire. The change was hard and the pain was unbearable but with Edward by my side, ignoring the pain was easier. Edward took me hunting for the first time so that when I was on the plane I wouldn't go crazy. Honestly, I disliked the scent of blood as I always did as a human. Now, we were leaving for our honeymoon in Queensland, Australia. He rented a private beach area with a beach house were we wouldn't have to worry about anyone seeing us sparkling like diamonds. I quickly blow dried my hair, put it in a high pony-tail and went downstairs to see Edward talking with the rest of the Cullens. The suitcases were already in the car, I assumed.
"Ready, Bella?"
I took a deep breath. "Ready." I've always been afraid of plane rides, but I had a bad feeling about this. Maybe I should tell Edward we shouldn't go. But he already went through all the trouble for a perfect honeymoon…oh forget it, Bella, you're just being overly cautious…
Just then, Alice stopped us. "Wait- Edward, Bella…" Alice seemed as though she was just in deep thought.
"What is it Alice? We're already getting late for the airport." Edward was getting irritated, not that no one else could tell.
"Edward, you're gonna hate me for saying this, but I don't think you should go." She then flinched as though she half-expected Edward to literally blow up on her.
Edward nodded his head in disbelief. "Why? Did you have a vision or something?"
"Kind of… it's more like a… well I can't see it too clearly."
"Then, it's alright, Alice. Don't worry about it. I can take good care of Bella, you know."
"Edward, please. Just think it through… you don't want to regret it."
Edward turned to me, and gave me a tired look. "Bella? What do you think?"
I felt bad for him; Edward was looking forward to this for a while, and to be honest, so was I. "Alice, I don't think there's much of a worry, right? I mean, it wasn't even clear, so there must not be a great chance of anything wrong happening. Plus; how are you sure it was a bad vision?"
"Alright, then." She tried to put on a big smile, and came towards us and hugged us both. "You guys have fun, okay?"
Edward's arm was around my waist, and he swiftly grabbed one last bag I had in my hand. Emmet came and gave me and Edward one of his huge hugs at one time. Once we said our goodbyes, we got into the car.
"Now…" Edward sighed. "You ready?"
I smiled back at him. "I'm ready." But I still had a bad feeling inside; just an intuition.
