Bella's POV
It was raining like it always does in Forks. What else is new? I looked up, and I felt the hard stone cold drops hit my face. I was standing in the field where my past has symbolically started. Edward, Jacob, even James. Of course the rain had made the wildlife grow, so the field was smaller. I had told Edward I didn't want to leave just yet, so he had gone back to my old truck to get a blanket. I'm sure the cold didn't bother min, and it actually felt good to me. I had spent the last few hours blushing fiercely, with Edward's face against mine, just sitting. Nothing was said for the longest time, but nothing had to be said. Even though I was immune to Edward's power, he acted like he knew my every thought. Was my face that easy to read?
I took a deep breath and checked my surroundings. I turned to my head to the right, and I could see the trunk of the tree that Edward had taken down the fist time he brought me here. It was more massive than the last time I had seen it. It was probably the abundance of moss, but you never knew. After I met Edward I wasn't sure what was impossible.
My head went right this time. I could see the spot in the trees where Jacob and his clan of werewolves had sprung a surprise attack on James. James, the thought of his name made the rain drop a thousand degrees. I turned away from that spot, and I saw Edward walk up with a wet blanket in his hands. He smiled that crooked smile I loved so much and threw the blanket aside, knowing it was useless. I started to run toward himk, be he was so much faster. With three quick strides I was in his arms. I pressed my lips against his tightly. I wasn't sure if I was going past those stupid boundaries of his or not, I had learned to ignore them, but I could definitely tell when I had pressed his buttons. His muscles tightened, and his lips hardened. Then he pulls me back and looks through me with stone cold eyes.
Talk about a major flashback. I was so lost in thought; my eyes weren't connecting with my brain. I saw his dark eyes, but I couldn't feel them burn a hole straight through me. He shook me a little. "Are you alright, Bella?" I let out a small breath and nodded. My hands started to shake, and he noticed. "We should get..." I put two fingers to his lips, not wanting to ruin the moment. Rain dripped from his nose and noto my fingers, which made them shake more. He didn't move them, instead his kissed them lightly. Edward whispered softly, his velvet voice almost knocking the breath out of me. "We should be getting back, I don't want you sick."
"Can you get sick?" I blurted a little too loud. I heard a bird in some tree call its mate.
He snickered, "Would you like to stay here and find out?" I saw his eyes lighten a little. I shook my head ans he took my hand. "Then let's go."
My head didn't spin like it used to when I was on Edward's back and he was running at the speed o my truck. We had done it enough to where I was used to it. When we got back to my truck I couldn't wait for the heat to kick in. Of course, Edward insisted on driving back, and for once I let him. I saw the sun setting as we drove off. What time was it? Of course Emmett had re-installed the radio I had torn off about a year ago. I had never set the clock, so it was useless. Once Edward had tried to teach me to tell time by the stars while we were out by his house. I looked out into the sky; there were no stars out yet. I decided it wasn't important, and I turned to Edward. He button down shirt was soaked, and it screamed "take me off!" I looked up to his face, and felt the cold water still on my face begin to sting. I shifted in my seat, which caused Edward to look over to me. Of course he didn't slow down, but I trusted him behind the wheel no matter how queasy it made me feel. "Are you alright? You look cold." He frowned.
That night in the mountains came to my mind. Vampires don't have any blood in their body, so they can't be naturally warm, and Edward had a big problem with that. There was a big snowstorm and Edward and I were stuck inside a tent. It was freezing and Edward knew he couldn't help me. You could see in his eyes how much it hurt him emotionally. That night Jacob Black was my heater, and he literally clung to me the whole night. Jacob and Edward are mortal enemies, but they somehow restrain themselves from slitting each other's throats for me. Edward more than Jacob. Edward's had a thing about me being cold ever since.
We got back to my house in under half the time a normal person should. I looked down at my hand. Edward's ring was still on my finger. A chill went up my spine as I wondered what was going through Alice's mind. I shoved that thought into the back of my head and opened the door. I screamed when I saw a white dress on the couch in the living room. This was happening all too fast. Then I heard the sound of a light chuckle. Alice. I sighed, "What do you want?"
She smiled at me, "I want you to try it on, silly." I grabbed the dress and headed up the stairs. Alice bounced in place as I passed her, I knew she already knew it would fit. I dragged the dress into my room, shut the door, and took my clothes off.
The dress fit perfectly, complimenting every curve of my body. It even enhanced what little cleavage I had. Alice knocked on the door and politely let herself in. I put on a fake smile, "Thanks so much Alice, it's wonderful."
She scowled, "Oh stop lying to me. What's wrong with it?"
I shook my head. "It's not the dress, it's me."
"Bella, that's the worst excuse I've ever heard!" She laughed. "I'll let you change, Edward'll be here in about ten minutes. The groom doesn't get to see the dress until the wedding!" Her face lit up and she walked out. I squirmed out of the dress and put it into my closet. I didn't see the point since all Alice is thinking about is the dress. He'll see it perfectly in her mind. I heard the doorbell, and I walked down to answer it.
