Edward's gift

BPOV

As I sat waiting I sifted through the clothes and shoes and mountainous amount of accessories Alice had picked for me. She had been waiting for an excuse like my birthday to buy me an entire new wardrobe and she had. I decided to change into something a bit nicer for when Edward called me downstairs to whatever he was doing.

I selected a black cotton dress, nothing too flashy just cute and short. I pulled a blue cardigan over the top and added the blue necklace from the pile of new jewellery. I twirled in the mirror, quite cute I thought to myself. I put my hands in the little pocket of the dress and found a note inside. Of course Alice had known this would be the dress id choose.

Bella, put on the new underwear set with the dress, and add the blue pumps just for good measure. You know Edward likes blue on you. Enjoy your evening Bella and remember you deserve every part of what Edward has planned for tonight. Lots of love Alice xx

I fished out 'the new underwear set' in question and shimmied out of the dress. I put on the new deep blue bra with black lace and matching French knickers. A thin piece of ribbon was weaved through the top of the panties and came to a small bow at the front. It looked not bad, and I knew Edward would like it. We had been sleeping together a while now, but even I knew something like this was a side Edward had never seen of me before. I pulled the dress back on and slipped on the new pumps checking for labels.

It was now 7pm and I was almost agonizing over what Edward had planned.

"How much longer Edward?" I said I knew he would hear me. Before I inhaled another breath he was stood in the doorway of his room

"Impeccable timing my love all is ready now" he said "Wow, you look gorgeous, simply stunning." He said. A small kiss was placed on my lips before he wound behind me and placed a blindfold over my eyes.

"No peeking this is going to be exceptional if you just hold on one more minute." He breathed into my neck and placed small soft kisses along my collarbone, I felt my insides go weak at just this small touch. Alice was right; this underwear was a necessity tonight.

He swung me up in his arms and although I never felt a thing I knew he had moved downstairs. He set me on my feet and pulled of the blindfold. In front of me was a small table just for two, with a deep red rose in the centre in the most elegant vase I had ever seen. It took my breath away just to look at how much effort he had put in to make me happy. My heart skipped a beat as he was suddenly waving the rose in my face; he had taken my hand and kissed the top of it before offering me the deep red velvet rose.

"It's beautiful Edward, thank-you" I breathed

"A rose's beauty pales in comparison next to my Princess, a rose is beautiful you my love are exquisitely divine. A rarity." He replied

I blushed and giggled accepting the rose before he pulled out the chair and sat me down.

He served me the most delicious food I had ever tasted and talked to me openly about what I would like the next year to hold for us now school was over. When I had finished eating he got up and put a cd on, extending his hand as my lullaby filled the room around us. As he hrld me close I giggled

"What?" he asked lightly

"Nothing, I was just thinking if this is my birthday what is Valentines Day like."

"You have no idea my love" he swayed me gently and kissed me lightly. His hands snaked around my waist and he spun me around, my back resting against his chest, his chin leaning over my shoulder. He placed a box at my eye level and whispered

"Open it"

I stroked along the top of the velvet blue box and sucked in a deep breath of air. It was a beautiful box and knowing Edward the way I did it would be a beautiful gift inside.

I slowly opened the box and sighed out the breath of air I had sucked in

"Oh, Edward" A glittering diamond heart pendant was sitting inside the lined velvet box. It was exquisite and I knew that the diamonds were real. Even the gentle dim light in the room made the diamonds sparkle and glitter as though tiny lights were sparkling from inside each one. I gently fingered the delicate chain, and silently vowed never to wear it. With my well known clumsiness it would be broken or lost within hours and this gift was too precious, too beautiful to lose.

"Take it out and turn it over" he said

I gently pulled the necklace from its velvet bed and flipped the heart over, engraved on the back in delicate swirls were the words

'Take care of my Heart'

I said them out loud and turned to kiss him my thanks. I wrapped my arms around his neck and found no way to express how I was feeling at that exact moment in time.

"Bella, Princess, does that mean you like it?"

"Edward, its exquisite I love it"

"Do you understand the reasoning behind it?" He asked me, my questioning face must have given him the answer he needed to continue. "Well, its all real diamonds and I wanted it to sparkle to your eyes the same way you do to mine. And its heart shaped because whenever I have to leave your side, I have to leave my heart behind for you to take care of. I want you to think of me whenever you see this and let it be the one small thing that signifies how much you truly mean to me my beautiful Bella."

I shed a small tear at just how beautiful the situation I was currently in was. I had the most amazing man in front of me, and he thought I needed jewellery to remember him by when he was gone, even for the shortest time?

I once again snaked my arms around him and pushed all of my emotion and passion into the kiss I gave him. I softly and slowly parted my lips, letting his tongue mould with mine; I melted to his touch as soon as his fingers began caressing the bare skin of my neck. Our mouths were entwined, his fingers were slowly caressing my bare skin, and my hand ran through his soft hair as I moaned into his mouth. We stayed like this for what seemed like hours, his touch on my back never wavering. I felt nothing but love, safety and comfort. He slowly pulled his mouth from mine and planted a small kiss on the top of my forehead.

"That was some kiss Bella, I'll take that as your acceptance of this gift?" he asked

"Edward you know how I feel about you spending money on me but even I can't resist this absolutely stunning necklace. It's extraordinary, just like you"

He chuckled into my hair and mentioned something about how the night was nowhere near complete and that I had more to come. My knees felt weak at the idea and I could do nothing but lean into him as he said

"I told you mere trinkets were not enough for you"

We laughed together as he once again kissed me, a shorter kiss but with no less passion that the first. He picked me up and placed me on the sofa with a drink and told me to give him 2 minutes. In less than one he was back, holding the blindfold again. I guess this was round two for the presents?
