Chapter 4- Making Plans
A/N-dedications and such at the bottom!
He woke up feeling restless and the fact was surprising to Edward as he had never really ever slept better. Getting out of bed, stretching his limbs, he was surprised to find that his fingers were itching to play the piano.
The idea made him smile.
The smell of coffee was in the air and Edward was grateful that someone had remembered to set the timer the night before, he sure hadn't. Stumbling his way out of his bedroom and into the living area his eyes squinted at the bright lights.
"Good morning, brother." Alice called and he scowled at how chipper her voice was. Grunting he made his way into the kitchen pouring him a cup of coffee before making his way back into the living room.
"Did you sleep here last night?" Edward asked squinting at his sister for a moment before continuing "Never mind don't answer that. Better not to know."
He chose to ignore her laughter and whatever that meant for him. He was fine with her dating one of his best friends; he just didn't want to know the specifics of it.
Making his way over to the piano that Carlisle and Esme had given him he took a long drink of his coffee before pulling out the bench and sitting down.
"Are you going to play?" Alice asked startling him as she was now standing behind him.
"I want to," Edward stated "but I really don't want to wake up Jasper or Emmett."
"They have slept in long enough," Alice replied "it has been forever since I have heard you play. Please?"
Rubbing his tired eyes for a moment he looked at his sister before softly nodding his head and quickly polishing off his coffee, handing her the mug.
"Play something new!" Alice squealed plopping down next to him and causing him to smile and wince at the same time.
"I haven't written anything new in awhile Alice; once I do I promise you will be the first to know."
The girl pouted for a moment before replying "but you're a composition major, Edward. Doesn't that mean you should be, oh I don't know, composing?"
Edward scowled for a moment at his loving sister before placing his hands on the keys. "How about I just play one of your favorites?" He asked.
"How about you play one of yours?" Alice asked smiling softly "It has been awhile since I have heard Claire De Lune."
He nodded for a moment before closing his eyes and letting his fingers touch the keys. Before he knew it they were moving on their own, playing the music he knew so well. He found himself transitioning into a song he had written for Alice for her sixteenth birthday and couldn't help but smile as he heard her sigh.
"I love this song," Alice stated causing Edward to look up and admire the peaceful smile on her face.
"I know you do." Edward replied smiling back softly.
"You're going to play it at my wedding," Alice stated standing up from the bench. Her comment did not go unnoticed by Edward who immediately stopped playing and turned to look at her.
"Excuse me?" He asked wondering if he had heard her right.
"I said," Alice replied softer now "that you are going to play it at my wedding."
"Am I missing something?" Edward asked grabbing for her hand but not seeing a ring there.
"No," Alice stated smiling slightly "you know I have always had my wedding planned out. I am just giving you forewarning. Things between Jasper and I are getting serious."
"I've noticed," Edward stated frowning for a minute before smiling "you know I just want you to be happy right sis?"
"I would expect nothing less." Alice stated shoving him slightly on the shoulder. "You know I just want you to be happy as well, Edward, right?"
"But of course," Edward replied.
"Then call Bella!" Alice stated laughingly as she made her way into the kitchen. "I want to go shopping with her anyways! We are going to be such great friends."
"I don't want you to get your hopes up, Alice." Edward stated frowning slightly at how attached his sister already was to that amazing, adorable, girl. He silently realized he was telling himself not to get his hopes too high, as well.
"Shut up, stop doubting yourself and call her!" Alice stated scowling at her brother and handing him his phone.
He smiled for a moment at how perceptive his sister was before letting out a gentle sigh and selecting the number from his list of contacts.
This time when it rang she picked up.
"Hey! Edward." Bella stated and he couldn't help but smile when she said his name.
"Good morning, Bella." Edward replied as his sister hopped up and down in front of him he let out a soft chuckle "Alice says hello as well."
He could hear her laughter on the other end and it only caused to brighten his smile. "Is she scheming away again?" she asked softly, childlike.
"She wouldn't be Alice if she wasn't" Edward stated causing his sister to pout but another adorable bout of laughter to escape from Bella.
"Speaking of which," Bella stated "thanks for the call last night. It was really sweet of you."
He could see a smug smile on his sister's face and he ignored her as he got up and made his way to his bedroom. "Of course, I just wanted to make sure you arrived home safely."
"I really appreciated it, Edward."
"Well," Edward stated plopping down on his bed as he spoke "how about you make up not answering by meeting me for lunch later?"
"It's already past noon," Bella stated laughingly "so how about we make it supper instead and you have a deal."
"I think I can manage that." Edward stated "I guess I didn't realize it was as late in the day as it was."
"Don't worry about it; I just got up a little while ago as well." Bella teased and the fact didn't go unnoticed by him.
"Well we did have a late night," Edward replied quickly.
"Yeah I guess we did." Bella stated.
"How about I pick you up at six?" Edward asked.
"Sounds wonderful," Bella replied before giving him directions to her apartment.
"I guess I will see you tonight then," Bella stated.
"Until then," he replied before clicking his phone shut.
Flopping back onto his bed he closed his eyes and couldn't help but chuckle at the huge grin that was on his face.
"I told you so," Alice called from the other room causing a light laugh to escape his lips.
"Yes, you certainly did." Edward replied to himself as he brushed his hand thru his tangled hair. "And I couldn't be happier that you were right."
