When we reached the stone driveway that led up to his gorgeous mansion, he pulled me out the car and into his welcoming arms the moment he had parked.

"Now where were we?" I heard him mumble, his arms holding me close as he inhaled deeply, his nose buried into my collarbone.
Hesitantly and very slowly, he made his way up to my jaw line, always breathing in my addictive scent as he squeezed me against the side of his car.

"Edward," I warned. "Edward I can't breathe," I said, some small intuitive part of me declared, the failing part that tried keeping me alive. My breath got caught in my throat.
"Sorry," he mumbled apologetically, releasing a bit of space between us, letting me rest against the car.
"Not because you were too close; it's just…sensory overload, you know," I explained as he brought his face level with mine, exposing once again his dazzling gaze.
"That doesn't really make too much sense, you know," he teased. "You have sensory over load every time I come within eyesight." His powerful scent hit me. Suddenly I felt like sensory overload wasn't that bad of a thing to get.

I threw myself as close as I could possibly get, hugging him tightly to me. He froze beneath me. I didn't release my hold. Slowly, he relaxed and his arms tightened again, this time returning the embrace.
"I wish I never had to let you go," he whispered, ignoring his close call.
"You know I wish for the same, but I'm sure Alice has different plans," I whispered back knowing full well we had been outside for far too long.

Just then I heard her skip down the steps. I closed my eyes, wanting to absorb my time with Edward for as long as possible.
He sighed and released me, whispering that he wouldn't let me leave within an arms length of him the whole night, which suited me perfectly.

"Hey, Alice," I greeted her. My voice sounded cheerful. And I was. Who wouldn't be after being told Edward wouldn't let you leave farther than an arms length? I was more than cheerful, I was ecstatic at the very thought.

"Hey, Bella," she welcomed me just as cheerfully, hugging me awkwardly as Edward still had one arm wrapped naturally around my waist.
"Guess what? I have a surprise for you!" She said, extremely excited.
Instead of fighting, as I usually would've, I tried embracing the fact that it was just something I would have to get used to with Alice.
I sighed in surrender and smiled.
"Lead the way, Alice."
She hopped up and down momentarily; happy I was playing along instead of raining on her parade.
"C'mon, Bella! How long does it take for you to walk to the front door?" She complained after the second it had taken her to reach the destination.

I glanced up at Edward, confused. I grew shocked, as he looked just as confused as I bet I did. I figured the surprise would've been clothes, as she always insisted on buying me, but never was she this excited to give me clothes.
"We probably shouldn't keep Alice waiting," Edward stated the obvious.

We walked up the stairs and into the open doorway behind Alice. As we walked, I wondered how hard the Cullen's must've worked to keep something from Edward. Just one slip and it was over.
"Bella! It's so nice to see you again," Esme hugged me as Alice had done.
"Bella," Carlisle nodded, smiling.
"Hello," I heard Jasper say softly as he stood in the doorway of the living room.
Emmett poked his head into the doorway and practically shouted my name only to start chuckling as I blushed. I turned away as he returned to his video game with Jasper.

Alice ran down the steps, a long rectangular box in her hands.
"Oh Alice," Esme began. "She can wait."
"I know Bella can, but I can't," she explained, her voice just as excited as before.

I heard Jasper laughed quietly from the living room.
"She has a point," he mumbled a bit too loudly.
"Jasper!" Alice said aloud, feigning offence.
"Tip number one, bro," I heard Emmett remind Jasper. "Don't annoy annoying things."

At that, Alice narrowed her gaze on the wall and a sudden wicked smile lighted her face.
"Here you go Bella. I know you'll like it," she declared knowingly as she handed me the box, a nicer smile on her lips now.
"Thank you, all of you," I said, my voice slightly confused at the abrupt change of subject.

As I took the box in my hands I saw Edward and Carlisle exchange glances from the corner of my eyes. Carlisle nodded solemnly once and walk up the stairs gracefully with Esme at his side soon after.

Alice walked into the living room and I thought I heard the faint sound of her sitting onto the sofa, probably beside Jasper.
"Let's go upstairs," Edward offered.
I nodded; surprised he was the one to plan time to talk. Usually, when it came to their not so secret conversations, Edward would've walked me into the living room and sat down beside me on the couch, ignoring my silence please to know what they had been signalling themselves about.
Something serious was out on the table; and for once I wished it wasn't worth repeating.

Love this chapter too!
Please please please please please

I still don't know if its worth continuing if no one enjoys reading it, or reads it at all.
Thanks a bunch!
