Edward ran to our meadow and set me down gently. I walked to the sun soaked spot and lay down. I felt Edward put his arms around me. The contrast of the heat from the sun and the coolness of Edward made me shiver. He pulled away slightly.

"No," I whined, grabbing his shirt to bring him closer.

"Bella," he warned, but didn't say any more. Edward was playing idly with a piece of my hair. It was so peaceful. I sighed contentedly. Edward moved his lips to my jaw and started kissing my neck. He was teasing me again, but I wasn't complaining. Three weeks. We had three weeks to go. Ever since we had made the deal Edward had been crossing his carefully placed boundaries. I'd agreed to marry him, but only if we tried on our honeymoon.

Edward had the absurd idea that he was going to hurt me. I trusted him with my life. It was time he did too. I captured his lips with and his devoured mine hungrily. I responded in earnest. His hands ran down my back while mine fingers slid down his muscular chest. He growled and flipped us over so that he was hovering over me. My heartbeat was pounding in my ears. Our breath was ragged. I tangled my hands into his bronze hair. I felt his fingers teasing the hem of my shirt. My hands, of their own accord, slid down his neck to the buttons on his shirt. I got three of them open before he pushed me away.

"Three weeks, love," Edward whispered his breathing still shallow.

"I know," I muttered. He kissed my forehead and went back to just holding me, but even this was hard. I wanted to touch his face and the urge was strong. Edward seemed to realize my restlessness and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to go out?"

"Sure," I replied. He pulled me onto his back and was off. The breeze whipped my hair around and the clouds were letting the sun peek through. It was a beautiful day and Edward just made it all the more better.

Edward walked us into his house to get the keys to his Volvo.

"Bella!" Alice pounced on me right as I stepped through the door.

"Hi, Alice," I replied.

"I'm really glad Edward asked if you were hungry because you guys would have gone way too far if-" Alice was on a rant. I blushed fiercely when I got the just of her little speech.

"Alice, that's enough," Edward warned.

"Oh, Edward, don't be so embarrassed," Alice retorted, "Now, since I let you have the day off, tomorrow we must work," Alice continued. I groaned, looking to Edward for a rescue.

"The point of a day off, Alice is to have the day off," Edward said, chuckling.

"Fine. Go play with Edward," she huffed.

"Thank you for your permission," I said, sarcasm dripping heavy in my tone.

"Any time," she replied breezily. I rolled my eyes and stepped into the Volvo. Edward shut the door and was in the driver seat faster than should be possible.

"Where to?" I asked.

"I was thinking that we should go to that little Italian place. The one we went to on our first date," he explained. I smiled at the memory. Our first date. That had been the night I had found out was Edward really was. I had been so curious and Edward so cryptic.

"You know what I think?" I asked.

"No," Edward replied, chuckling.

"I think it's a great idea," I stated.

Edward took my hand. "Good." With Edward and his maniac driving we got there in no time. He opened the door for me.

"M'lady," he said with a flourish.

"Why, thank you kind sir," I said, with a giggle. The hostess was eyeing Edward with definite interest. I sighed. Some things never changed.

"Hi," the hostess said seductively, "A table for two?"

"Yes, thank you," Edward replied, oblivious to her attempts. She led us to a small table.

"Someone will be right with you," she said, and she slinked away.

I scowled, "I hate that."

"What, love?" Edward asked.

"Girls falling all over you. You're almost a married man and I-" but I stopped for a grin was plastered on Edward's face. "What?"

"Nothing," Edward said, pressing his lips together.

"No, not nothing," I pressed.

"Well, you're so very adorable when you're jealous and when you said married man I just thought about how lucky I am…to have you."

"Good answer," I replied, smiling.

"Oh, Bella," Edward chided. A guy of around twenty came to our table.

"Hey, babe," he said to me. Edward growled and threw a glare at him. The guy named Austin seemed oblivious to Edward.

"So, what can I get you?" he asked me, winking. I blinked in confusion. Was he trying to flirt?

"You can get us two cokes," Edward said, teeth clenched. Austin looked over at Edward as if seeing him for the first time.

He then looked back at me, "I'll get those right away, little darlin'." Then he stalked off. Was this guy for real?

"He was horrible," I said as I took Edward's tense hand.

"Not as horrible as his thoughts," he replied, closing his eyes.

"Edward it's fine. No big deal."

"He should not be hitting on you much less thinking those thoughts." Just then Austin came back.

"Here you go," he said as he gave me my drink. He had given me a piece of paper, but before I could even open it Edward was up and he has Austin pushed up against the wall.

"Austin, you and I have a problem," Edward warned, softly, but still menacingly, "You see, that's my fiancé that you gave your number to. Can you see how I might not like that?" He clearly meant it as a rhetorical question, but Austin nodded his head. He looked scared to death.

"Edward," I whispered. Edward's head whipped around and his eyes met mine. "Let's go." Edward took a deep breath and let Austin go. He slumped against the wall. Every eye was on us as we walked out of the restaurant. Once we were in the car, I started.

"What was that, Edward," I groaned.

"His thoughts were the most vulgar thing I've ever heard. I snapped. I'm truly sorry, Bella," Edward said, his eyes boring into mine. I tried to take a steady breathing and failed miserably.

"It's fine, Edward," I finally said.

He grinned crookedly, "I guess I ruined lunch."

"Let's just pick something up," I suggested. So Edward got me a hamburger at McDonalds. He drove us back to the house where we found the whole family waiting for us. Emmett was laughing, Jasper had a slight smile on his face, and Alice was grinning knowingly. Even Rosalie was chuckling a little.

"That was hardly necessary, Edward," Esme scolded, the corners of her mouth turning down in disapproval.

"That guy was about to pee in his pants," Emmett shouted, falling to the floor. I couldn't help it, I cracked a smile.

"He was hitting on Bella," Edward explained, jaw tense.

"You could have exposed yourself," Carlisle reprimanded.

"But it wasn't his fault. The guy was horrible," I exclaimed, jumping to Edward's defense.

"That guy won't be working there anymore," Alice said, "He's too afraid Edward will come back." Then everyone burst out laughing. I loved Edward's family and soon they would be my family too. Edward whisked me away to his room and set me down on his bed. He started kissing me. I wound my arms around his neck.

"I love you, Bella," he murmured against my lips.

"I love you too." The kiss started to get heated and Edward, after a few moments, pushed me away. I put my hand to my chest, feeling my wild heartbeat. I groaned.

Three weeks. We had three weeks.
