I woke up in my bed, in Charlie's house. I looked over at my clock and read the numbers aloud. "8:37 . . . hum . . .Charlie's gone for the day fishing." I let out a huge yawn, and then I heard a honey smooth chuckle from behind me.

"Oh! I didn't know you were here. When did you come in?" I stated, staring at the beautiful figure sitting in the rocking chair across from me.

"At 6:00. Carlisle and I got back around 3:00, but I needed Alice's help with something before I came over." Edward replied, then flashed that brilliant crooked smile that I love.

"Speaking of Alice . . . I'm surprised she hasn't dragged me to every bridal boutique within a thousand mile radius of Forks. There are only 3 months left until our wedding. I figured she would have been fluttering around like a mad woman."

He chuckled. "You aren't around her at night."

We both shared a brief moment of laughter.

He looked at me sheepishly. "Well about being dragged… to every bridal boutique-" His voice was smooth, and it broke my train of thought for a moment

I cut him off "You know what? I might just freak her out and actually want to go . . ."

He looked at me with a surprised look on his face "you mean you want to go shopping?"

"Yes!" I squealed. "It's my wedding. I mean, I'd get married to you in my pajamas the Forks courthouse right this second, but this is special . . . Its big all the way around . . ." He looked at me knowingly and then kissed my forehead while holding me close to his marble figure "I mean why not make Alice happy? I'd love to be able to surprise her."

"She is going to be elated. She was thinking she was going to have to get Jasper to put you in a comatose-like-state in order to even get you in the car." He chuckled.

"Well there will be no need for that." As I finished my sentence, my stomach released a growl.

"Can I make you breakfast or will that spoil your willing attitude towards a whole day of shopping with Alice?"

"No. I have no objections to your cooking me breakfast," I replied with a huge smile. "It'll give me time to get ready. Then I'm going to call Alice and ask her to go shopping."

"My how the tables have turned." And with that he kissed my neck; While his cool fingers traced the edges of my lips, then pressed his to mine.

The kiss was longer than usual, and surprisingly I remembered to breathe. Before I could open my eyes, he was downstairs.

I was out of the shower and dressed by 9:15. I then headed down the stairs to see Edward standing over the stove. I walked as gracefully as I could behind him. I put my arms under his and rubbed his collar bone with both of my hands and asked "What's cooking Chef Edward?"

He turned around and took both of my hands in his and replied. "French toast, hash browns, and sausage. It will be ready in a few minutes. You can call Alice while you wait." He said letting go of my hands and resting his head on mine taking in the scent of my damp strawberry scented hair.

He walked me over to the phone, dialed the number then handed the phone to me. Within two milliseconds Alice's chirpy voice said " Hey Bella! I was wondering if I could possib-"

I cut her off. "I wanted to ask you something. It's something kind of big. I don't know if you'll want to go or not, but I thought you and I could go wedding gown shopping today. I have no idea where to go you can lead the way." I was suppressing my laughter the entire time, and I almost lost my concentration when I heard Edward chuckling quietly as he stared at the pan of French toast on the stove.

"Heck Yes!! I was just calling to see if I could somehow force you to go! But this is even better! When can you be ready?" she nearly shouted at me, elated at the fact she knew I wasn't going to be miserable all day.

I covered the end of the phone and asked Edward when I could be ready, and he stated "In about an hour."

I uncovered the phone then said "In about a-"

"Okay, I'll be there around 10:30! Bye!!" And with that she hung up. I wish I could have seen her face. It would have been priceless.

Edward cleared his throat, so as to get my attention. He had it.

"Breakfast is served." He said putting the plate on the table and bowing putting one hand behind his back.

"Oh please!" I stated rolling my eyes as he pulled out a chair for me.

He smiled my absolute favorite crooked smile that made me melt inside.

I stuck my fork into the French toast and took a bite. I shut my eyes and let out a "Mmm." I opened my eyes to Edward's puzzled face.

"This is amazing." I said while putting another bite into my mouth.

"I'm so happy you like it. New recipe . . .." he chucked to himself.. lost in some distant thought .

"What is so funny?" I said while taking a bite of hash brown.

"I was thinking about the last time I cooked for you. It took me all day. This only took me twenty minutes and I had no one to taste it while it was in the making. I guess you could say I'm proud of myself. " He looked embarrassed, but like a five year old would after he made a finger-painting figure only a mother could love.

"The food is amazing . . ." I got up from the table and sat in his lap. When I was securely nestled into his marble figure I kissed his stone cold lips and said " . . .and so are you." At this I leaned in to kiss him again. He held my face between his hands and stared at me. Then suddenly he kissed my forehead and rested there for an what seemed like hours. I looked up at him, and then at the clock. It read 10:15. I sighed.

"I still have fifteen more minutes with you. You aren't Alice's yet." He smiled at me.

I started to get up to put my empty dishes in the sink when he held my wrists sitting me back down on the chair. "I cooked. I do the dishes." He said bluntly with a smirk on his face.

"Okay. I have no objections to that." I sat in the chair staring at my Adonis doing my dishes. I grinned at this thought.

By the time he finished the dishes it was 10:18. He turned around, moved over to the chair and scooped me up holding me tightly against his chest. We sat on the couch, staring at each other. I stared at his god-like beauty, I'm not sure why he was staring at me, I was plain. He had explained this to me before but I just couldn't see the beauty he found in me as I looked in the mirror. His gentle kiss on my forehead brought me back down to earth. I looked at the clock. It was 10:23. Then I looked at him.

He smiled, and said "I hope you have fun today with Alice. Please, do not forget to eat."

I looked up at him and said "I'll try . . .I know it's hard to believe but I am actually, genuinely excited. And this will make Alice very happy. And in 3 months you'll be very happy too."

He put his index finger under my chin and tilted my crimson face upwards towards his face, and said " You make me happy every millisecond of everyday. You make me more than happy. You are the bright light shinning in my face, lighting my way through my dark night." At the end of this thought, he tilted my head downwards and kissed the top of my head leaving his lips there again for what seemed like an innumerable amount of time.

Then stood me up and said " Alice is almost here."

I then got on my tiptoes and kissed his ice cold lips, and he kissed me back. I heard Alice's car door shut in the driveway. Edward spoke, almost shouted "let yourself in." And we continued our kiss as Alice walked in the door.

" Geez . . . You'd think I was taking her to Antarctica for a year. I'm just taking her to some boutiques . . . relatively close by . . ." Alice said with a matter-of-fact tone, with a hint of happiness. She was happy to see her brother this happy. Edward and I pulled away from each other. Alice grabbed my purse. He then grabbed my waist, led me out the door and opened the passenger door to Alice's yellow Porsche.

Alice rolled down my window and said "I will make sure she eats something, I will try to have her back by a decent hour and I will drive extra carefully." She smiled a large smile exposing her pearly white teeth.

"Okay. Bye Alice." He stared at me, then inside the car and kissed my forehead. "Goodbye Bella, I love you." He said this with such feeling and passion that it brought tears to my eyes. He gently brushed them away. Alice said in a perky voice. "Bye!" She then rolled up my window and sped along the road.

"You know Bella . . . he really loves you." She said looking at me with loving eyes.

"I know." I said while fighting back my tears.

"Speaking of him loving you . . . you are getting married, which means a dress, which means we are going wedding gown shopping!" she said this while screeching so excitedly that I couldn't help but laugh.

"So where exactly are we going?" I asked anxiously, genuinely curious.

"Oh you'll see . . . just some boutiques. You are going to have a great time." She said very happy.

"I know I'm going to have a great time, because I'm already having a great time. Remember I asked you to go?" I said with a grin on my face.

"I know, but I just hope I don't go overboard. I can't tell if I'm going to or not.. . I haven't seen any of the gowns yet . . ." she said with a slight devious edge to her voice.
