I walked into Edward's bedroom, only to find him lounging on his couch, reading.
"Whatcha reading?" I asked him from the doorway. I couldn't see the cover of the book, but he looked really into it. He turned the book slightly, revealing the cover to me.
It was Wuthering Heights.
"Y'know, I'm really starting to like this book. I bought one just for me, so I didn't have to always read yours." He said, smiling.
I nodded.
"You don't by any chance know where Jasper and them are taking you tonight, do you?" I asked him. His smile immediately went to a dark frown.
"No. They've been doing a really great job of not thinking about it."
I could tell how annoyed he was by the fact that he didn't know. He always knew. I laughed, then reminded him,
"You've only got to wait a few more minutes."
He smiled at me, then returned to his book. Great. What was I supposed to do this whole time, waiting? I walked over to him, pulled the book out of his hands, and I set it on his desk. If I was going to combust waiting, at least I would be with him.
He looked at me, awe-struck.
"I was reading that, you know."
"I know." I said, then sat myself down on his lap. His arms wrapped around me and pulled me closer, and I inhaled the sweet scent of his skin. "I can't believe the marriage is only a few days away…" I murmured, playing with his collar.
"It'll be great. No worries." He said, kissing my forehead.
"Hey," I said, getting his attention.
"Hmm?"
"Is the tooth fairy real?"
I could feel a silent laugh shake through him. "Why do you ask?"
"Well…if vampires and werewolves are real…y'know. I thought that maybe the tooth fairy might exist." I felt stupid for asking it, but I wanted to know badly.
"Alice is real, isn't that enough?" he said, a smile in his voice.
I nodded in agreement. It was true, after all. Alice did have a striking resemblance to a fairy.
A loud knocking sound came from the other side of the door.
"You guys are talking about me, huh?" Alice said, pounding on the door.
"Come in, Alice." Edward said, not bothering to shout over the tremendous noise. Immediately the knocking stopped, and little Alice stepped through the door, smiling at me.
"Guess what time it is!" she squealed. I already knew, but, for her sake, I asked.
"What?"
"It's time for your bridal shower!"
I sighed. This was going to be three, long hours of helltorture.
