Anthony POV
It sounded horribly sadist and hurtful of me. But since Ellie had died five months ago things had got steadily better. Mum and dad fought less, and had managed to agree that as long as dad did not kill Chris, he didn't have to spend more than an hour alone with him a day. Chris was lucky if dad was in the room for more than ten minutes alone with him, but apart from this, the dynamic of their relationship remained pretty much the same.
Mum had bought a club in Port Angeles, and I was bar manager. It was true we weren't exactly strapped for cash, but mum had taken it upon themselves to pay for the whole thing, which left me and Aimee trying to repay them in gifts and outings instead of hard grafted cash.
Ness and Chris were living in the extension um had hired people to build on the back of the house. Dad wasn't exactly happy about her choice of work crew; hormonal teenage boys peering in at the bathroom window to try and catch a glimpse of her with no clothes on.
But things were good; I seemed to love Aimee more and more each day. We were also living in the cottage with mum and dad, however with all the work mum had done on it; it appeared to rival grandma and granddad's house more every minute.
I rolled over in bed and buried my face in her neck and she moaned sleepily as I began to kiss her collar bone.
"We have to go pick up the flowers." She mumbled. I frowned, it was half past six in the morning, and she wanted to go shopping for the wedding now.
Sometimes I felt like I did not know her at all.
"We have all day baby, it's not for two weeks." I yawned and rested my head back down on the pillow, shutting my eyes and trying to go back to sleep.
Bella POV
I was laying on my back in bed next to Edward, both naked, our chest hammering as we fought for breath. I giggled as his lips were suddenly on my neck again. I giggled breathlessly.
"Edward..." I gasped pathetically. He chuckled against my skin.
"I leave you breathless, it's nice to know. That I'm amazing in bed..."
"And not at all humble about it." I frowned slightly.
He shrugged and moved to hover over me, "Being humble is not high on my list of priorities."
"And what is then?" I asked with a slight frown.
He smiled, "You, my family, you, protecting my family, you, err you and you." He said and kissed me again.
I giggled, "How flattering, first and last on the list."
"And everything in between." He breathed and his lips captured mine again. I groaned and he chuckled.
"Are you ready to get up?" I asked.
He frowned and rolled to lie down on his back, pulling me to lie on his chest. I propped myself up n my elbow as my other hand played with his hair. He sighed and shut his eyes again.
"Edward." I said firmly, watching as he kept breathing in a rhythmic pattern, face serene and calm, like he were sleeping.
"Edward." I said with a slight giggle when he pretended to snore. His lips curved up slightly at the end and I knew I had his attention. I got up straddling him and supported myself with my hands flat on his stomach as I leant down to kiss his neck, my teeth nipping his ear lobe as he stirred underneath me.
"What?" He groaned.
I giggled, "Get up I need to make breakfast, and you need to pick up your new Volvo." I said firmly.
He frowned, "Aren't you going to come with me."
I rolled my eyes, "You're not five, you can go on your own, or failing that... you could take Chris..." I trialled off hopefully.
He sighed, "I tolerate him don't I, I answer when he speaks."
I frowned, "You acknowledge him." I stated, "Of course, you could try speaking to him first once in a while..."
But again he sigh.
"I'll try."
I gave him a withering look and he opened his eye to sigh exasperatedly at my expression.
"I said I'll try, I'm not promising anything." He muttered.
I sighed and kissed his cheek, "Thank you."
He smiled, "If I don't do it will you punish me?" He asked mischievously.
I rolled my eyes, "it's awful what sex can do to some people."
He chuckled and I kissed him, "Come on, let's go." I said and took his hand, laughing as he groaned getting out of bed. I pulled him away from the door and he frowned in confusion.
"I thought you said we had to get up?" He asked.
I beamed, "We do, but it wouldn't be right not to freshen up first." Is stated and laughed and he looked over my shoulder at the door to the bathroom.
"A shower?" He asked and I nodded.
He growled and threw me over his shoulder, locking the door securely behind him as I turned to faucet on.
