GreenenviesCITIEZ: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HEADS UP!! I AM SUCH AN IDIOT :( I just forgot!! Gahhhh!! xx

Travelling

The first thing I felt the next morning was the cool feel of Edward's lips on my face. Instinctively, I wound my arms around his rock-hard figure and pulled him tighter to me, my eyes still closed. I heard him chuckle as he pushed my hair away from my face and kissed my lips, softly. Tenderly.

"Open your eyes, Bella." He whispered, and I obeyed. His face was centimetres from mine. His eyes and breath stunning me. I wondered if I was still dreaming as he stroked my face, cupping my chin. It was the best morning greeting I could've wished for.

Soon, I was up and dressed. Ostentatiously dragging my fake suitcase for Charlie's benefit, as I thumped down the stairs. Edward had already climbed out my window to collect the Volvo, so he could pretend he was seeing me for the first time that day.

Charlie had got up early to see me off, and was sitting at the table as I poured myself some cereal.

"You all set, Bell?" He asked me, smiling as he took in the darned suitcase.

"Sure, Dad," I said. "Edward should be here soon."

"I'm gonna miss you, kiddo." He said, "But hey, its only two weeks."

"Yeah," I agreed, "Don't worry, Dad. I'll be fine."

The rest of my meal was spent in silence, and I finished quickly. Knowing that Edward would be here soon, and we'd be off to Alaska. To meet a coven filled with beautiful, skinny females. Who were supposedly even more beautiful then the most perfect of the Cullens. It was going to be an interesting vacation.

Sooner then I thought possible, Edward was at the door. I rushed to it – eager to see his face – and yanked it clumsily open. His beauty stunned me for a second time that day, and I think I would've thrown myself at him… If I hadn't felt Charlie come up behind me.

"Hello, Edward," Charlie greeted him,

"Hello, Charlie." Edward replied, the picture of politeness.

"Would you like to come in?"

"No thanks, Charlie I think we ought to be going, we don't want to miss our plane."

Plane Ha! The Cullens – in their super fast cars – were driving to Alaska. And they'd be there within two days. They didn't like to travel without their cars.

"No, I guess not." Charlie agreed, nodding. Standing awkwardly in the doorway.

"Well, hang on a sec, Bells… you left your case in the kitchen."

"Yes, Bella." Said Edward, humour deep in his eyes. "You wouldn't want to forget your case."

I rolled my eyes at him and stomped gracelessly to the kitchen to collect it. Irritated at his teasing. I didn't need the blasted thing. Alice had all my new stuff packed up at the Cullens'.

When I was back in the doorway, Charlie grappled me in a one armed hug, and I followed Edward out the door. He let me go three steps fuming as I pulled the case along, before he grabbed it from me with a laugh. Stupid, strong, mocking vampire. I growled unimpressively and he opened the car door for me, chucking the case in the back seat.

I rolled the window down and waved goodbye to Charlie… then soon we were heading for the Cullen home.

"Come on, Bella." Alice greeted me in an irritated tone, "Help me get this case shut."

She was already bouncing on top of an enormous case. It wouldn't shut properly, as it was so jam packed full of expensive clothes. Alice was making little progress, as the case probably weighed more than her. I rolled my eyes and climbed on next to her – yeah, it was big enough to fit two people on it! – and began to jump too. Emmett was standing in the corner, laughing his head off as we battled with it.

"Shut – up – Emmett." I mustered between jumps.

"Yeah, Emmett." Alice agreed, "Make yourself useful, try and get the zipper up."

But Emmett was shaking with so much laughter, he snapped the zip clean off with his enormous fingers.

"EMMETT!" Alice shrieked, and he ducked for cover as she ran at him. Slapping every bit of his body she could reach.

"That – was – my – best – suitcase – you – simpleminded – buffoon!" Every word was punctuated with a sharp slap to his chest.

"Alice!" Jasper called, dashing into the room, flooding the area with calm on default. But that didn't stop Alice. She kept shrieking at Emmett, until Jasper grabbed her round the waist and pulled her away.

"He broke my best suitcase, Jazz." Her little voice was soft as she leaned against Jasper's chest.

"We'll buy you another one." Jasper promised, glaring at Emmett over Alice's shoulder.

"Hey, it wasn't my fault!" Emmett argued, affronted, "It's just a suitcase, for God's sake!"

"I'll get you back for this, Emmett." Jasper said, darkly.

Once the hubbub had subsided, we had to decide on cars.

As payback, Alice and Jasper bagged Emmett's Jeep. Carlisle and Esme were taking the Mercedes, Edward and I would take the Volvo, and Emmett and Rosalie would take the red convertible.

Soon, bags were loaded into various boots and we were off. I chatted to Edward and listened to him singing along to oldie music. After a while I fell asleep, and only woke up when Edward stopped for gas and food.

I went in to the little shop with him and selected some lunch. A chocolate bar, a sausage roll and a banana. Not very healthy but it was the only thing they had to offer. I wolfed it down in the car, and we were off again. We stopped at a hotel that night, and I had a good sleep. Then early the next day, we left. After a few more hours, I was restless.

"How much longer?" I moaned, resting my head back against the seat.

"Not too long, I got a call from Carlisle while you were asleep. He says we'll probably arrive in about an hour." Edward said, holding my hand in my lap.

"When does Alice think we'll get there?"

Edward grinned.

"Forty-five minutes."

I smiled, and knew we'd be there soon.
