This is another long chapter. Hope you enjoy it…


Chapter 4

The next morning I did my best to avoid Emmett, I was finally feeling a little jet legged. I really didn't want him to take me go out on a crazy adventure today. Edward had left a note saying he went hunting with Jasper and would be back shortly. I snuck down to eat breakfast, even thought there is no such thing as sneaking in a house with vampires. As I sat down eating I thought back to the day Edward had asked me to fill out the application to Dartmouth, then I remembered something. He said they had night classes for him, why did he go with me to school yesterday. The sky was cloudy, but it wouldn't be like that every day.

I sat in my library waiting for Edward to get back. I was sitting wondering what his plan was as far as when it was sunny out.

"Edward Cullen, I need to speak with you." I said as he walked in the door. He looked truly worried.

"What is it Mrs. Cullen?" He asked making a face like a little kid trying to stay out of trouble.

"Well, I remember you saying earlier in the year that you would have to take night classes here. If that is true why are you and your siblings going to school with me. What are you going to do when it is Sunny?" I asked taping my foot impatiently.

"That is what I needed to talk to you about, love. We didn't really have classes yesterday, Alice knew it would be cloudy so we wanted to make it easier for you. Alice, Jasper, and I have night classes. Rose and Emmett aren't even taking classes." He said giving me his crooked smile. It was nice of them to do, but I was a big girl I could take care of myself. I was a little sad that he wouldn't be with me at school and that he would leave me at night.

"It is not very nice to tease me like that. To pretend that you have classes at the same time as me and even to pretend that you have a class with me." I said irritated.

It took a little bit for Edward to sooth me, but I finally let it go. I would go to my classes and be a college girl three days a week. Then all the other hours of the day, I would be Mrs. Edward Cullen. Edward whisked me upstairs for a little married time. I was happy he was no longer holding back with me, since our honeymoon we were like a real married couple. Everything was perfect, we spent hours laying in our bed talking about everything. Then my stomach growled bringing me back to reality.

"Maybe I should have had you change me, at least my human needs wouldn't ruin the moment." I said in a joking manner. I looked up and Edward wasn't laughing or smiling. "What is it?" I asked.

"You being human do not ruin the moment. If you wanted to stay human, I would want that for you." He said.

"Edward, I will be like you some day. It won't be because of that, it will be because I want it. I want forever with you. You wanted me to have this experience as a human first and you were right. I wouldn't do this any other way, but I will be a vampire some day. Nothing is changing that." I told him sternly. He had already agreed to change me when I was ready.

"Ok, well lets go make you something to eat."

We got out of bed and headed down stairs. Unfortunately, I had forgotten all about trying to avoid Emmett. He was sitting in the living room with a big grin on his face.

"It is about time, trying to set a world record?" He said laughing and I turned bright red.

"Emmett." Edward growled.

Emmett kept laughing, but didn't say anything else. We headed to the kitchen and Edward and I cooked my lunch side by side. It was an amazing feeling having him next to me in our home cooking. We prepared enchiladas and after they were in the oven baking, I decided to bake cookies. I got out the ingredients. After mixing them into a big bowl, Edward's pale finger dipped into the bowl. I looked at him and before I could ask he squished it on my nose.

"Oh no you didn't." I said as he grinned evilly.

"Yes I did. What are you going to do about it?" He asked teasing me.

"Get if off or else." I said with my hands on my hips.

"Na ha." He said smirking at me.

Fine he wanted to play like that, huh. I reached into the bowl and grabbed a handful of dough. I threw it on his face, it splattered his face. He growled playfully.

"Opps." I said giving him the same smirk. The next thing I knew we were in a full on cookie dough war, we were laughing a smearing cookie dough on each other. After the bowl was empty Edward playfully tackled me to the floor. He held me in his arms, then he surprised me. He licked the dough off my nose, he tried to hide his disgusted face, but I caught it. "Do I not taste good?" I asked pretending to pout.

He kissed me along my neck and arm. Then he took a little bit of skin between his teeth and licked it. I was surprised, his teeth felt amazing on me. He was really careful not to apply force.

"You taste amazing." He said and my lips meet his.

Our moment was interrupted by Emmett running into the room. "What is that horrible smell." He asked.

"Sorry Emmett, but I have to eat human food. I know it smells horrible." I said rolling my eyes. They knew that I needed food like they needed blood, why did they always bug me?

"I know, its not that. It smells bad like food, but even more so." As he said this Edward and I both looked at each other.

"The enchiladas." We both said at the same time. Edward went to the stove at vampire speed and pulled them out. Yep they were burnt.

"Well it looks like my newlywed wife burnt her first meal." Edward said grinning. I instantly thought of the old movies, where newlywed wives would burn dinner. I laughed to myself.

"Very funny, but what am I suppose to eat?" I asked. Then Alice and Jasper came into the room. Jasper was holding a 'to go bag' at arms length away.

"I saw that you would burn dinner and dirty up our new kitchen." Alice said smiling at me.

"Thanks." I said taking the bag from Jasper and he looked grateful.

"If Bells would keep her hands and lips to herself, she wouldn't of burnt dinner." Emmett said, once again embarrassing me.

"Remind me why I wanted you here, Emmett." I said irritated that he was so amused with what Edward and I were doing as a married couple. He gave me the most heartbreaking pouted face and I instantly felt bad. "I was just kidding Em, it wouldn't be the same without you." I said and he pulled me into a big bear hug. "Can't breath." I said trying to catch my breath, he sat me down and patted my head. He now had cookie dough all over him too. Edward and I headed up and took a quick shower together to wash the dough away. The shower ended up not being that quick after all. Afterwards I headed down to find my food waiting.

I ate my food in the living room as Edward and I watched the news. It was boring, but I was with Edward so it didn't matter. After I finished my food I headed for the kitchen to clean up the mess Edward and I had made. Upon entering the kitchen, I was surprised it was spotless. I turned around and walked back into the living room where Edward sat. Before I could say anything he answered my unasked question.

"Alice."

"Of course. Thank you Alice." I said in my regular conversation voice knowing she would hear me.

"Your welcome." She said smiling and then appeared by my side. "Plus if you cleaned the kitchen it would of taken you hours. Then you would miss the surprise I have for you and Edward." Oh great a surprise with Alice it was probably more cloths or something over the top. "It is waiting for you upstairs."

"Thank you." This time Edward said with a sly grin on his face. He apparently did not feel like waiting for me to walk. He carried me up to our room, putting me down at the door.

As he opened the door it was like I was in another place. There were pink and red rose petals all over the floor and bed. There was a candle lit walkway that lead to the opened French doors of the balcony. I started to follow them.

"Not so fast." I heard Alice say. "Go to the bathroom and change first." I smiled to myself, leave it to Alice to have a certain outfit for me to wear. It was just Edward and I, why did I need to dress up. "Just do it, Bella." She called up the stairs.

I went to the bathroom and shut the door. Laying on the counter was a beautiful satin night gown. I slipped it on, the material felt amazing. It was a pale pink and was the most comfortable thing ever. It stopped just above mid thigh and there was a matching satin robe. I put it on and stepped out. Edward was also changed, he had on a pair of silk pajama paints and no shirt. I marveled at his well chiseled chest, wanting nothing more then to push him to the bed.

He led me out onto the balcony, it looked just as beautiful as the bedroom. Alice had it lit up with candles and there was bouquets of roses all over. Edward and I sat down on the bench and looked at the stars, it felt so natural and complete.

^.^

I awoke blissfully happy just like every other morning of being married to Edward. Everything was so perfect and I could live everyday like this, in fact I think I will. As I opened my eyes Edward kissed my forehead and got up out of the bed at vampire speed, before I could say anything. He must be up to something or he would of stuck around to talk to me. I did all of my morning human things, I dressed in the cloths Alice laid out. They were a little over the top and they were a really expensive brand. The shoes were Jimmy Choo shoe's, they were a zebra print and the back side of the heel was a ocean blue, that matched my shirt. I didn't want to know how much the whole outfit cost, but with Alice I am sure it was too much. She would probably only let me wear it once and then give it to a good cause.

I got down the stairs and could smell something amazing cooking in the kitchen. As I was heading for the kitchen doors I heard a loud sound then it was followed by Edward and Alice's voice.

"Emmett!" They both yelled at the same time.

I pushed open the doors to see broken eggs all over the floor and all three covered in them. Emmett was sitting in the middle of the pile, I couldn't help, but laugh.

"What happened in here?" I asked positioning myself on top of the counter in a seated position.

"Emmett wanted to help us cook you breakfast, but instead was juggling eggs until he fell and broke them, that is." Alice said irritated with Emmett.

"It was Edward's fault, he threw a pan at me." Emmett said crossing his arms. I laughed at his childish ways.

"I only threw the pan, because you found it necessary to keep playing yours and Rose's night over and over in your head." Edward said walking towards me.

"Edward." Alice said in her threatening tone. "Don't you dare get eggs on Bella's outfit, she looks perfect don't ruin it." Edward and I rolled our eyes at her.

"She always looks perfect." Edward said, I ignored him, compliments weren't my thing.

"Alice is kind of right, I don't want to smell like eggs all day." I said touching his nose with my finger.

"Fine." He pouted.

Edward handed me a plate of food and I ate it sitting on the counter, while I watched them clean at vampire speed. Then they headed upstairs to clean the egg off of them. When I finished my food, I washed my plate and headed up to brush my teeth. As I went into the bathroom Edward was already out of the shower and dressed. He played with my hair while I brushed my teeth, he kissed my neck and ear sending my body into a frenzy. After I was done brushing my teeth I turned and kissed Edward passionately, I started pushing him towards the bed. He pulled away and chuckled at me, I tried pushing him onto the bed, but he didn't budge.

"You will be late for school." He said laughing at me.

I looked at the clock, I still had a little less then an hour to make it to school. It was about a forty-five minute drive and with Edward driving it would take like fifteen.

"It only takes you fifteen minutes to drive there, we have time." I said using the most persuasive voice I could.

"That is true, but you will be driving yourself today."

"Why and in what?" I asked confused.

"Our cars were delivered last night, including your Mercedes Guardian, so you can safely drive yourself to school." He said smiling at me.

"Great I am wearing expensive cloths and I have to drive an over the top expensive car. People are going to think I am a rich snob." I said crossing my arms pouting. I didn't like all the money the Cullen's spent on me and I didn't like the attention that would probably come with it.

"Don't worry about it, no one could ever think you are a snob. Now you better get going or you will be late."

Edward walked me to the car and gave me a kiss goodbye. I was surprised he was actually letting me go without him. We hadn't been apart since the night before our honeymoon, other than when he went to hunt. It was strange to drive away without him, I felt like a piece of me was missing. It was stupid, because I knew he would be here when I got home, but still.

The drive to school was boring, I was already missing my family and wanted to go back to them. As I parked in the parking lot, I saw a bunch of kids starring at me. Just like my first day in Forks, except this time they were in awe of my car. At Forks high school they were starring at my ancient truck, that I would love to be driving now. As I got out of the car a small group of guys walked up to me.

"Nice ride." Said a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Thanks." I muttered trying to grab my books and get away from them. I hurried away from them, well as fast as these darn heels would let me go. In my first class, I sat alone near the back of the room and got my things organized. The teacher started his lecture and I tried to pay attention, though my thought keep wondering what Edward was doing. Being away from him was driving me insane, it was wrong that when around humans, I felt all alone. Though in the presence of vampires I was right at home. Strange the way things work out, it was like I was already a vampire. As I was leaving class a group of girls blocked my way.

"Hi, my name is Kristen. I love your shoes, they're Jimmy Choo's right." The girl was tall, thin, tan, and gorgeous.

"Hi, I am Bella and yea they are. Thank you." I said trying to get around them to go to class.

"So Bella, that is like a totally cute name. Would you like to go to lunch with us?" Kristen asked me.

I was just about to say no, when my phone went off, I pulled it out. It was a text from Alice.

'Just go it will be fun! Edward agrees.'

Stupid future seeing pixie vampire.

"I only have two classes, then I am free, when do you have lunch?" I asked.

"Cool only three courses in a day, us too. We usually meet up at a little café on the square. Meet us in parking lot A and you can follow us." She said smiling.

My classes went by quickly and I really enjoyed them. I have always liked to learn and I was glad that it was something I was interested in. I had parked in lot B, so I went and got my car and drove to A. It seemed like my car fit in better in this lot, then the other. All of the cars were expensive ones like mine. I spotted the girls standing behind two cars I am sure Rose would love. They were all fixing their hair and make up. I got out and walked over to them.

"Awesome car." Kristen told me.

"Thanks, I like yours also." I said, even though it looked like it was too expensive.

"This old thing, it is so last year. I am just driving it waiting for my brand new Porsche to get here." She said and I nodded my head as if I understood what she was talking about. "Ok, I guess I should introduce you to the group." She pointed out all of the girls to me. They were all a lot alike in appearances, they were all tan, thin, and gorgeous. Their names were Ashley, Alexis, and Summer. Kristen had blonde hair, blue eyes that looked like contacts, and was overdressed. Ashley had bleached blonde hair and green eyes. Alexis had strawberry blonde hair and green eyes. Summer had brown hair and brown eyes. They were all beautiful and obviously rich, I followed them in my own car and we arrived at a little café. It was cute and didn't really look like their type of place.

"This is nice." I said as we walked into the café. It was bigger on the inside then I thought it would be. The walls were all painted in bright colors and the back wall was full of mascot and sports memorabilia. I realized that it was the campus hang out.

"Yeah my dad is on the alumni and he owns this café." Summer said playing with her hair. We walked back and sat at a booth that was in the back corner above the booth was a picture of Summer and a man that was most likely her dad. The waitress came and took our orders.

"So Bella, do you live on campus?" Summer asked me.

"No, my husband and his brothers and sisters have a house together." I said and their mouths hung open.

"Your married." They all said at the same time.

"Yeah." I said unsure of what their reaction would be.

"Are you crazy?" Asked Kristen.

"Are you knocked up?" Asked Summer.

"Did you get forced into it like in foreign countries?" Alexis asked.

"Why?" Asked Ashley.

I couldn't find the words to answer they threw questions at me to quickly.

"Well?" They all asked together after I didn't answer.

"I don't have kids, I am not crazy, I am not pregnant, and I didn't get forced into it." I said hoping not to get attacked with questions again.

"Then why?" Asked Kristen like she was truly stumped to why I would get married.

"Love." I said as if it was obvious.

"Love, really. Huh." Kristen sounded stunned.

"Well that sounds reasonable." Summer said deep in thought.

I spent the whole lunch telling them everything about Edward and I, except for the vampire parts. In the end they knew everything about my life, but all of the supernatural stuff.

"Wow, you have to introduce us to your family, they sound like so much fun." Said Kristen over excited.

"I really want to meet Alice and do some shopping." Said Ashley.

"I know you should have a party!" Summer exclaimed a little to loudly.

"I don't know, I would have to make sure it was ok with everyone." I said hoping Alice wouldn't make me have a party.

We exchanged numbers and I said I would call them after I talked to my family. They were all really nice and couldn't wait to meet Edward. It was strange, but making friends almost seemed easier when you had money. I drove home a little faster then I would normally drive, so I could see Edward. I didn't realize that lunch had lasted three hours, I guess I was having fun.

When I got home Alice was jumping up and down on the porch and Edward was walking towards my door to open it.

"Welcome home, love. I missed you." He said kissing my forehead.

"Home sounds nice and I missed you also." I clung tightly to his waist not wanting to spend another moment away from him.

"I see that." He said chuckling.

"Ok moment over, Bella we have a party to plan." Alice said trying to drag me away from Edward.

"Alice." I moaned and I could hear Edward laughing.

"Don't argue Bella, we are doing this college thing right. We are having this party and I will not let you take it from me." She said dragging me to her room to begin the party planning. Great more time away from Edward.

^.^

After about an hour, I told Alice I really wanted some time with Edward. It would be dark soon and he would have to leave for his night classes. I hated that he would leave me for a few hours, but I knew that I needed to be a big girl.

I was cuddled up next Edward on the bed and he was playing with my hair.

"So what are you going to do while I am at school?" Edward asked.

"I have a little homework and I might read or something." I said secretly wishing he would stay. "Mostly I will be missing you." I said kissing his chest.

"I could just forget about classes and stay with you, I have been to college more times then you can count." He said and it sounded like a good idea, but I didn't want to be selfish. He would get bored just spending all of his time here at the house with me, it wasn't fair.

"No, just hurry back to me though." I said meeting his lips.

After Edward, Jasper, and Alice left for their classes, I turned on the stereo in our room and sat out on the balcony. I got out "The Host" and started reading it. After about five minutes, I felt someone shake my shoulder, I looked up to see Emmett with a goofy grin on his face.

"Heard of knocking Emmett?" I asked.

"I did, your music was too loud. Why are you listening to music and reading at the same time."

"I don't know, I just felt like it. What do you want Emmett?"

"Well since everyone is at school and Rose is working on her car, I was hoping we could hang out." He said giving me the cutest look, he was like a big teddy bear.

"Sure Emmett, but I need to eat first. Also nothing crazy, just simple fun." I said giving him a stern look.

"Right simple fun." He said winking at me. "You might want to wear something else, unless you want Alice to kill us." He said leaving my room.

What did he have planned? Hopefully I would still be in one piece when Edward got home.
