Bella's P.O.V
Edward would be here any minute and I still wasn't ready. Actually, knowing Edward, he would be here any second. He was taking me on an outing with his family. That was what Edward said. An outing. That's all he would say about it. I didn't know how to prepare for something without knowing what it was. Alice would be proud. She often wished I cared more about fashion like she did. For her to see me worrying like this, would just tickle her silly. I decided on a nice pair of jeans, jeans were always safe, and a white tank top under a blue button down blouse. That made it look casually sophisticated, I hoped.
When I got back from the bathroom, Edward was laying on my bed. His eyes rolled over me taking in my appearance. I blushed, he smiled. My heart beat picked up, and all of a sudden I was in his arms. He smiled my favorite crooked smile, and sat on the bed with me in is lap.
"You look exquisite as always." Edward said as he kissed my forehead. I blushed even more, and his kisses trailed down to my mouth. As usual, I crushed myself against him, trying to get as close as possible, wanting more. He reluctantly pulled away.
"Behave yourself, now." He smirked. He wanted what I wanted just as much. He just had to have those boundaries. He was convinced he would hurt me, but I disagreed.
"Will this work for the outing?" I tried to imitate his tone but failed completely. He smiled and nodded. Where were we going? My face scrunched up in frustration. I wished I could read minds.
"You could never be anything but perfect." he told me. "If could hear thoughts, I would be perfect." I muttered. Of course his super hearing picked that up. He frowned at me.
"Do you really want to hear that mindless sea of babble in your head all the time?" He asked, with his eyebrows drawn in. I thought about it for a moment. "No," I replied, "Just your thoughts." I smiled at him. He hugged me closer and kissed me. This time I almost fainted, which was my other usual reaction.
"Breathe Bella," He looked at me, "The only thoughts I want to hear are the thoughts that I can't." Edward, for some reason could hear everybody's thoughts but my own. I kissed along his jaw until I made it to his mouth. He seemed to enjoy my kiss, because it lasted longer than usual, but as always, Edward pulled away.
"It is time to go, Alice is becoming impatient." Edward sighed. He seemed to want to continue kissing. Even if Alice didn't have perpetual figurative ants in her pants, he would have stopped anyway. His silly boundaries.
I got up from his lap, and grabbed my jacket. Edward jumped out the window. He would go knock on the door so Charlie would know I was going with him. As I headed downstairs I heard Charlie answer the door. By the time I was at the door, Charlie had already gone back to the couch. Edward was standing by the door waiting for me.
"Bye Dad. I'll be back soon." I took Edward's hand and started to open the door. Edward's smooth voice was saying goodbye to Charlie. Once we were outside I saw Emmett's huge jeep. I Groaned. This could not be good. Edward looked down at me.
"Don't worry, the Volvo needed some work, so I borrowed Emmett's car. Rosalie is taking care of my car. She is the best mechanic." I was relieved by this but only marginally. I still didn't know where we were going. Edward helped me into the huge metal motorized monster, and strapped me in. Of course he had to drive fast. I was a little used to him going so fast, but I still got nervous. He chuckled, when he saw I had gone pale.
"You should trust me by now." He chided. I did trust him but accidents happen. I sighed, and closed my eyes. Edward's hand was on my knee. His thumb was moving in circles, first one way then the other. It was soothing. Although, anytime Edward toughed me, I felt soothed. I opened my and looked at him from the corner of my eye. He was looking at the road, for once. I studied the side of his face. He was so unexplainably gorgeous. His face was relaxed and the corners of his mouth were tipped up in a content smile. He must have felt me staring at him because he looked over at me. His eyes were so full of love it became hard for me to breathe. His smile deepened into his crooked smile.
"Breathe." Edward told me. I took a deep breath. Edward turned back to the road. He started to withdraw his hand but I put my hand over his. I saw him smile as he resumed his circles. I stopped worrying about the mysterious outing. Edward would not subject me to anything too horrible. I rubbed my hand over his.
"My sweet Bella." Edward murmured in response.
"You are my world." I have told him this many times, but it is never enough, he will never understand how deeply I love him.
"And you are mine." Edward said as he pulled over and turned toward me. His sweet breath washed over me. He kissed me until I was out of breath.
"We are here, Love." Edward said, as he cut the engine.
