Hey guys, this is my first story...so tell me what you think
I promise...it gets better
The unusual light streaming through the window awoke me. I yawned and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.
"Good morning, Beautiful," Edward whispered close to my ear, making me shiver. I smiled and he kissed me long enough to get my pulse racing.
"What does Alice have planned today?" I asked. I thought it better to get Alice's plan out of the way. I never really enjoyed "Alice Time". I loved Alice, but I hated shopping. We had about three weeks until the wedding and with Alice saying we were in "Crunch Time", and my parents freaking out, and not to mention Edward's teasing, I was worn out.
"Well, I have a surprise for you," he hedged, a smile dancing on his lips. My eyes narrowed.
"I don't-" I started, but he put his fingers on my lips to silence me.
"No interrupting or you won't receive your surprise," he scolded. I scowled.
"I hate surprises," I mumbled.
Edward chuckled and said, "You'll like this one."
"We'll see," I muttered. He smiled crookedly.
"Go get ready, Love."
"Fine," I grumbled. I slouched out of my room. I really hated it when he did this. Surprises from Edward were usually too grand for me. He had insisted on buying me a cell phone and a credit card. He said when my truck finally died he could buy me whatever car he wanted. I bristled at the thought. He was spoiling me and I didn't like it. I brushed me teeth with almost too much force.
I had been extremely moody lately. Alice said it was wedding nerves, but I think it had something to do with the fact that all of Forks was watching my every movement. Everyone stared. All the time. Edward told me to ignore them and I tried. Ever since Edward proposed I've felt like there's this huge spotlight on me. I don't do center stage. Never have, never will. People were always talking and always whispering.
And then there was Jacob. My best friend. He was missing. I knew he needed time and I knew he would be safe, but that didn't stop me from calling Billy every chance I got. I loved Jacob and my heart throbbed painfully whenever I thought about him. I didn't tell Edward because I knew what he would do. He would ask me if I made the right choice. He face would twist into a painful grimace. He would be in pain…again. I couldn't be the reason for that. I wanted Jacob to be happy. I wanted him to find his love. I wanted everything to work out and for me it finally was. I had Edward. I was skeptical at first to be getting married, but now I realized that I wanted to be tied to Edward in every single way. I loved him desperately. He was my everything My soul mate. My-
Edward's musical voice brought me out of my musing. "Are you ready to go?"
"It depends on where we're going," I joked as I opened the door. A smile lit his face and my breath caught. He was so beautiful.
"Breathe, Bella," Edward cooed. I took a shallow breath in. Edward grinned cockily, amused with my reaction to him. I brushed past him to show he didn't have a big effect on me. I started down the stairs and my foot caught. I braced myself for the impact of the floor, but instead felt cool, hard arms around me.
"Oh, Bella. What am I to do with you?" Edward asked. I blushed.
"Put me down," I ordered. I was still mad.
"Bella, don't be mad," Edward pleaded, carrying me down the stairs, "You've been more moody than me lately. Is anything wrong?"
"No," I replied shortly.
"Bella, look at me," Edward said, trying to gauge my expression. I lifted me eyes to his golden ones and knew that was a mistake. I got lost in his topaz eyes. "What's wrong," he breathed. I lost my train of thought completely. He was trying to distract me and it was working.
"I'm…just…scared," I whimpered. Edward's features changed immediately.
"About what, love?" he asked, worry lines on his forehead.
"The wedding," I answered. He relaxed his tense posture and smiled.
"Bella, the wedding will go without a hitch. I promise." He kissed me forehead. I was comforted. Edward always knew what to do to sooth me. "Now, it's time for your surprise." I groaned.
"What about breakfast?" I asked. Before I could blink he was back with pop tarts. I chewed slowly, trying to delay the surprise. After I finished Edward put me on his back.
"What about Alice?" I questioned, getting excited. I knew where we were going.
"I got you the day off," Edward explained, proudly. I smiled.
"Thank you," I whispered. He kissed my hand and then ran into the slight drizzle outside.
