Chapter 3

"Edward! You like?" Alice asked giddily as she took Rosalie's hand and twirled her around once as Rosalie yawned.

"Looks good on you Rosalie." My smiled seemed to unfreeze and slowly leaked into the shape of a frown. Then his glance switched to me and his face seemed to become gentler, if that was even possible.

"I can't wait to see how you look in your dress love." He walked over to me and put his arms around my waist then he leaned his mouth down to my ear and whispered seductively, "Or how you look out of it." As I felt his lips brush my ear, I shivered involuntarily and melted into his embrace. He brushed the piece of hair that had fallen out of my ponytail out of my face and as he did so, I felt the back of his hand lightly brush my cheek and my heart started beating erratically once more.

"How would you like to go to our meadow?" He asked softly before his lips touched mine briefly. I nodded my head as I breathed in deeply.

"Oh no you don't! We have plans. Bella has to come with me to the caterer to confirm the menu. I mean, it's not like I could do it because believe me, if I could, I would." Alice touched her hair in a moment of stress and she looked so vulnerable that I felt compelled to go with her to the caterer. I wanted more than anything to be with Edward in our meadow but it seemed like we would never get a moment alone until after the wedding.

"Alice. Not today. My bride-to-be needs a little rest from all the preparations and we need some alone time together." Edward looked at Alice seriously which made me suspect that he was up to something. If I hadn't been looking at his face as he looked at Alice, I would have missed the tiny nod he made. He was up to something and now Alice seemed to be in on it. I really hoped that after I get changed, I will have powers that will somehow clue me in to all the things they don't want me to know.

"Oh fine. Go. Have lovebird time. But come back by tonight. I can't stop all my plans for some alone time." She bit her lip lightly as she said this and this only made me wary of what would happen at the meadow. She saw something and Edward knew what it was and I guess I was about to find out.

"Will do. Thanks Alice. You're the best." Edward grinned crookedly at his little sister.

"And don't you forget it." She proclaimed as she pointed to both of us and by now Rosalie was so bored with the conversation that she had poised herself on Alice's bed and seemed to be checking her manicure. She was the epitome of perfection. The existence of a Rosalie Hale was only a sorry reminder to the rest of us plain janes that perfection does exist and that we would never compare.

Edward leaned down and scooped me into his arms just as I was brooding over my too-ordinary looks. Why would anyone even look at the bride when there was someone like Rosalie standing behind her? Maybe that was a good thing…

The whole run to our meadow I kept looking at Edward's face and he glanced down a few times and smiled crookedly when he saw me looking at him. Before I knew it, we were standing still and his lips were on mine. He kissed me deeply and passionately. I threw my arms around his neck and wound my hands into his hair as our kiss deepened. Just when I thought he might pull away, he pressed me even closer to his body and kissed me with such force that my lips parted in surprise. As we got closer and closer to the wedding, his rules seemed to get more lenient. I wasn't going to object.

His lips separated from mine and as he left little kisses along my jaw, his lips were almost warm. He started kissing my neck and worked his way to the hollow of my neck and as the kisses stopped, he sighed deeply and laid me down on the soft grass before laying down next to me. I reached over and his hand met mine as we lay there in an utter moment of peace and love. As I turned my head to look at him, I felt his hand leave mine and he was pulling me up before I could say a word.

He stood in a protective stance before me and I felt myself press against his back in fear. Of all the days and all the times and all the places. Something always had to go wrong just when I thought everything would be alright. Nothing ever went right when I was around.

I heard him growl and I felt him shiver as the growl went through him. I was honestly scared and hoped that whatever it was would just go away. I changed my mind when I saw a sight I thought I never again would. A russet brown werewolf. Jacob.
