Chapter 1- Preparation slowness
Chapter 1- Preparation slowness…
"Bella! Are you ready yet?" Alice shouted from the garage. Well, more like whined anyway. With my super-hearing from my new vampire upgrades, it was not a surprise that I could actually hear that.
"Okay okay…" I muttered, annoyed by the devil-pixie's persistence.
College is starting in a week's time and according to Edward, my all-so-faithful husband, we had to get ready earlier. And by ready, he meant totally ready, hundred percent ready, including hunting before the new semester starts. He was, obviously, not taking any chances of me sucking the life out of a human when they walk pass me, even though I was doing very well, according to what Jasper said.
Well, couldn't have his wife going around killing people when he is obviously so devilishly handsome, and gentlemanly, not to mention smart, mature, the best... I could go on describing Edward the whole day if I had to, too bad now's not exactly the best time.
"BELLA!!" Alice shouted, again. I heard her moving up the stairs and in no time, she was beside me, yippity-yappity about how slow I am for a vampire.
I sighed. "Jasper… Help me out please…" I mumbled as Jasper immediately swooped in and carried Alice out despite her cries. However, Alice was obviously enjoying the bridal-style treatment and was soon giggling into Jasper's chest.
I rubbed my eyes, not from sleepiness, but because the contact lenses were really starting to bother me. I had to wear them in order not to scare others with my blood red eyes which every newborn vampire would have.
Suddenly, I felt a familiar set of arms around my waist. The owner of those beautiful set of arms began to leave a trail of butterfly kisses down my neck, causing a nice tingling sensation down my spine.
I whipped around, almost instantaneously, to face him and gave him a hug.
"Hi Edward…" I whispered.
"Hey love, done packing?" He mumbled as he gave a small peck on my cheek before breaking our embrace.
"Almost… I just need to get all of these…" I said, waving my arm up and down the pile of clothes. "…into the luggage. I try not to tear them and it seemed to slow me down. Trust Alice to buy me so many set of clothes…" I rolled my eyes as I heard Emmett erupting into laughter along with Rosalie down at the living room. Of course, they were listening to this new vampire to see how many times she can screw up.
Although it has been a full month since my change, I still can't control my strength just yet. I sighed again, as I tried to shove the clothes into my bags.
"Let me help with that." Edward laughed as he finished packing within seconds. I was amazed at how fast he packed, and all the clothes were neatly folded too. I raised my eyebrow at him and he shrugged.
"Hey, when you are 117 years old, you would at least know how to pack your bag." He snickered as he grabbed my suitcases, along with me, down the stairs and to the living room.
"Hey...uhm…Mom." I smiled and gave Esme a quick peck on her cheek. I was not used to calling Esme 'mom' yet, but I tried to, I know it will make her happy, she was always more motherly than any of us.
"Hello Bella, ready?" She smiled. Once again, I was awed by how warm she is to me, it always remind me of how much I love Esme.
"Never felt better." I rolled my eyes as Edward chuckled and kissed me on my cheek again.
His arms were on my waist as I asked, "Renesmee?"
He shrugged and replied in his lovely velvet voice, "Oh… You know… The usual…"
"The usual?" I frowned. "Jacob! Get my daughter here this instance!" I yelled. Nowadays, I was always crappy towards Jacob once I realized that my daughter might be taken away by him in the future.
In a flash, Jacob was in the kitchen with Renesmee in his arms.
"Chill Bella. I was just playing with Nessie before she has to go…" He put my little toddler on the floor as she ran towards me.
I opened my arms as she ran into my embrace. "Hello Renesmee…" I purred as I kissed her cute little forehead.
"Momma, good morning. Are we going somewhere far? Is Jake going?" her large brown orbs pierced into my eyes as her lips turn into a small pout.
"Well… Jacob is… he is…"
"He is going, unfortunately…" Edward finished for me.
I pouted, following my daughter. Now we look like two pouting mother and daughter. I can't help it since Edward didn't let me finish my sentence.
"I could have said that…" I grumbled.
"I know you could…" He slurred seductively as he land a kiss on my lips.
I immediately forgave him. Who couldn't? With such a handsome man in front of you, no one can resist.
Knowing that I had forgiven him, he smirked, giving me the crooked smile I love most and slipped his arm onto my waist, pulling me closer to him. "Well, are we ready?"
I smiled, Renesmee grinned and so, the cullens' college life had finally started!!
