Chapter 1

I sat looking outside my window waiting for Edward to come back from his hunt with Emmet and Jasper. Rain started to fall heavy and splashed into my bedroom and windowsill so I had to reluctantly pull down the window pane. I always felt more comfortable when the window was open. I suppose it was like an open invitation to Edward for him to come in. Even if the window was shut he would still open it but I suppose it was more of a comfor t thing. Deep down I think that if the window was closed, Edward wouldn't come, and I certanly didn't want that.

I kept looking into the forest, m y breathe kept fogging up the window every now and again and I didn't even realise how heavy my breathing was. I was looking for any sign of movement, but when I could catch something in the corner of my eye and turn to get a better look, nothing would be there.

I started to feel impatient now. I'm never normally in a rush to go round to Edwards to finalize wedding plans but today for some reason, I was.

For the past week, me and Edward had hardly spent any proper 'alone' time as we were both busy with planning the wedding and with being in a house full of vampires, nothing was out of earshot, no matter how quiet me and Edward tried.

But it was nothing like that, far from it unfortunatly. Mostly it was talking. Talking about the wedding, after the wedding, before my change and after I would be changed. Edward didn't really like talking about that subject. He still against it and I think he secretly thinks that by some miracle I will forget about it and never ask him again but some how I don't think that is going to happen. Ever. But give him his due, he had come to terms with it a little better since I agreed to marry him.

The rain started to lighten and a dim ray of sunshine pierced the overcast, grey clouds and into my bedroom. It bounced off my hanging crystal and little rainbows started to reflect all over my walls and dance about. I turned back to the widow to focus on the woods, and then something moved in the corner of my eye, like a small black shadow of somesort but by the time I moved my head to focus better on that spot, nothing was there. I was then at that sure I was starting to go mad. Mad or just plain frustrated.

My mind started to play back last Friday. A smile started to form across my face and breathed a small sigh.

I was aloud to stay round Edwards due to the fact that Alice had rung Charlie and asked him it would be alright with him to steal me away for the night to go over some final details on my wedding dress. To help back it up she assured him that Edward would not be there as it was bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding. A couple of white lies never hurt anybody.

Alice picked me up in her Porsche and took me back to the Cullens. Edward was already waiting outside the door, hands in his pockets and my favourite smile on his face. I felt a jolt of lightening scorch through my stomach down to inbetween my thighs. Pace yourself! I couldn't help not looking at him. Pure perfection.

By the time I moved around to open the door from the inside, Edward was by my side, with the door open and his hand stretched out waiting for mine. What a gentleman. My gentleman. As I took his cold, marbled hand, I smiled at him as a thankyou and his eyes started to turn slightly darker. I thought perhaps his eyes were just dilating from the sunlight and then realised that was no sun. Interesting . And then a small growl immersed from his chest. Not an aggressive one but more of a soft purr. Something was up. As we walked to the door, Edward leaned into me and I could feel his coold, sweet breathe on my neck. A small shiver fell down my spine, not from being cold but from the sensation it caused.

"Do you know what you do to me every time you wear that blue blouse?"

I let a small smile form on my face and felt my cheecks become slightly warm too. Another growl came from Edward's chest and my heartbeat hitched up faster.

"And when you blush."

I moved my arm around his back and whispered, "Same could be said when you growl back." I turned my head to look at him and his eyes started to look like two shiny onyx gemstones. He opened his mouth to say something but then closed it again.

"Ha." I thought. At least I finally won a round this time.

As I walked through the door, the smell of cooking hit me liked a walked into a brick wall. My stomach started to gurgle. Edward seemed to notice as he leaned in again and said, "Esme has decided to cook pasta for you whilst Emmett, Carlise, Jasper, Rosalie and I go hunting."

"Okay then, how long will you be?" I asked him looking at him through my eyelashes trying to be seductive.

Edward spun me around and wrapped his arms around my waist and stared into my eyes.

Yes, I thought. It worked. His eyes seemed to have lightened a little. "Only a couple of hours. I don't want to spend any longer away from you than I have to." Then leaned in and gave me a longing, soft, cool kiss on the lips. Instantly I felt another surge of fire race down my stomach to inbetween my thighs.
