AND NOW THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR...
*whispers*
Oh, almost forgot. I do not own Twilight.
And now to the moment you've all been waiting for...
"Yes?" I asked, encouraging him to continue.
"Bella, will you go out with me?" Edward asked. I nodded furiously.
"Of course!" I assured him, smiling hugely. Edward embraced me, and I hugged him back. He kissed my forehead, and we made our way inside. My heart was fluttering in my chest, and I felt perfect. Alice was squealing, and my guess was, she was asked out on a date, too.
By the next months, Edward and I were closer than ever. One time our parent's were out of town, so Alice and was going to stay at the Cullen's. Edward and Jasper seemed very pleased about this arrangement.
Alice and I were very happy, too of course. Alice and I were very eager and excited about that so we packed the night before. I was practically stuffing my clothes into my worn and old faded blue suitcase. While Alice was folding her clothes methodically, taking her time.
"Bella, sometimes you disgust me," Alice huffed as she folded a purple dress. "What do you mean?" I questioned, raising my eye brow awaiting her answer.
"Clothes deserve a little more respect than that. Besides, I already packed you an outfit to wear." Alice replied, nonchalantly. "What?" I shrieked. "Bella, shh, the dress is absolutely gorgeous," Alice responded to my outburst. "A dress?" I asked, all the color draining from my cheeks.
"Yes, Bella, don't worry. It's not much of a fuss, besides I think you'll love it." Alice assured me. "Can I see it then?" I asked, my eyes scanning the room for any sign of the garment.
"No, silly, it's a surprise," Alice laughed softly. "Great," I sighed sarcastically. "But aren't you excited? It'll be great," Alice squealed. "Yes, I'm excited," I nodded, smiling. "Good, we'll have so much fun. I already know the movie we're going to watch," Alice spoke.
"What movie are we going to watch?" "I Know What You Did Last Summer." "Isn't that a scary movie?" I asked, worried laced in my tone. "Yes," Alice replied, her eyes sparkling. "Alice, no way! You know I hate scary movies," I spoke, shivering. "Yes, but during the really scary parts, the boys will put their arms around us and comfort us," Alice replied.
"It'll freak me out, Alice. Besides, Edward won't put his arms around me," I scoffed. "Bella, sometimes you are really blind," Alice sighed. "Sorry," I apologized. I zipped my bag and put it next to my bed.
"I think I'm going to bed now," I said as a yawn escaped my lips. "I'm too excited to sleep," Alice squealed. "See you in the morning," I spoke sluggishly before doing my night time ritual.
After getting ready for bed, I turned off my light, and heard Alice rustling next to me, packing still. I fell asleep to the thrum of the rain, falling down onto the roof. I dreamed about being with Edward. I couldn't wait; I had down played it earlier when Alice was asking me.
The rain abruptly stopped sometime later, and I opened my eyes and peered at the clock. Figures, it was still night time. Before rolling over and falling asleep again, I glanced at the clock. Four-fifteen in the morning, I sighed in annoyance. Alice was passed out on her bed, looking peaceful. I closed my eyes again, and drifted into unconsciousness.
The next morning, Alice and I eagerly said goodbye to Mom and Dad. "I'm so excited," Alice smiled. I took a bite of my to-go breakfast before answering. "Me too," I piped up. As soon as Alice and I parked in their driveway, Edward and Jasper flew out the door, eager to meet us.
"Bella," Edward smiled crookedly, putting me in his arms. Alice threw me a look that clearly spoke: "I told you so." Alice was encased in Jasper's arms. "Hi, Edward," I spoke, mumbling against his shirt.
"Hello, Bella," Edward spoke, kissing my forehead. I could feel blush creeping up my cheeks. Edward tilted my chin up. "I love it when you blush," Edward spoke. "Thank you," I replied, blushing scarlet. I kissed his cheek before darting to my clunky heavy bags out of the car.
"Bella, no," Edward commanded. His big hands beat my small ones to the handle of the suitcase. "Edward, I think carrying those will give you some type of severe injury. Alice packed some of my bag, anyway." I disagreed, putting my hands on my hips. I leaned against the back of the car, and waited for his response.
"Gentleman's honor," Edward spoke. "Well they're my bags," I rejected. "Yes, but you're my guest," Edward fired back. "Please, Bella," Edward begged. Ugh, he was too beautiful, I agreed. "Thank you," Edward smiled crookedly kissing my lips briefly.
"Esme and Carlisle are waiting for us." Edward urged. "So how are you?" I asked him, walking on the pavement of his driveway. "Better, now that you're here," Edward replied. I blushed at his statement. "How are you, Bella?" Edward asked. "Great," I replied happily.
"Glad to hear that," Edward chuckled. "How was your night?" I asked Edward, putting my hands behind my back. "Bad, I missed you. I was so excited about today," Edward responded.
"I missed you, too. Alice and I were making a mad dash to pack. Alice I think stayed up all night." I added.
"Did you stay up all night?" Edward asked concern clear on his face. "No, I fell asleep," I assured him. "Good, because I would immediately send you upstairs to sleep," Edward sighed. "I'm not tired, don't worry."
"Did you have breakfast already?" Edward asked, suddenly changing the topic. "Yep, Alice and I ate on the way," I replied. "Esme made us a large breakfast, so dig in if you want," Edward informed.
"I'm fine, that's so sweet of Esme to do that though," I said. "You sure?" Edward asked, arching an eyebrow. "Positive," I nodded. Esme came out of the kitchen.
"Bella!" Esme smiled, walking over to me. "Hi, Esme," I greeted. Esme gave me a soft hug. "It's so wonderful you're here, Bella." Esme greeted. "Let me show you where your room is," Esme added, pointing up the staircase. "Oh, okay," I nodded. "Edward, can I have Bella's bags?" Esme asked her son.
"You sure, Mom? I can carry them up for you," Edward offered. "No, no, Edward. You haven't had your breakfast yet," Esme rejected. "Edward, you haven't eaten breakfast?" I piped up. "I wasn't hungry." Edward replied, shrugging. "And you were giving me a hard time for not eating," I spoke, sighing. "Well, Bella and I will be down a few minutes, okay, Edward? Go entertain your guests." Esme instructed. Edward nodded, smiling at me, and hurt was in his eyes.
"That boy has been waiting for you all morning," Esme shook her head, as we went up the steps. "He didn't have to," I murmured. "You sure you don't want me to carry those bags?" I offered.
"Bella, you're the guest, it's the least I can do." Esme replied. "You sure?" I asked. "Yes," Esme nodded. "Thanks for letting Alice and I stay here." I spoke. "It was no trouble, Bella. We are delighted to have you here." Esme spoke, as we reached the peak of the staircase. "Happy to be here, Esme," I smiled. "Good, the boys were especially excited about your stay," Esme winked. "Alice and I were very happy, too." I nodded.
"Okay, Bella, here's your room." Esme spoke, putting my bags down on the ground. I studied the room. The room was very beautiful with red wall paper, and a metal bed. There was an incredible view of the forest. "It's beautiful, Esme." I spoke breathlessly. "Thank you, dear." Esme smiled. "I'll leave you here to get settled, and then come down when you're ready. Call if you need anything," Esme informed.
"Thank you, Esme." I spoke appreciatively. "You're welcome, Bella," Esme spoke, kissing my cheek before disappearing down the staircase. I blinked and un packed, mindful about how neat the room was before I put my stuff down. After unpacking, I headed down the stairs, nearly tripping down one step. Before I could touch the floor, Edward caught me.
"Bella? Are you okay?" Edward asked worriedly. "I'm fine, Edward." I assured him. "Thank God," Edward spoke, keeping his arms around me. "How was your breakfast?" I asked him, looking up at his emerald eyes. "Fantastic, how was your unpacking?" Edward replied. "Decent, I never realized how much Alice put in there," I laughed. "I can only imagine." Edward joined my laughter.
Alice and Jasper came, holding hands. "Hey, Bella, hi, Edward!" Alice squealed. "Alice has a whole plan of what we're going to do." I spoke.
"Really?" Jasper spoke. "Yes, I planned it out a while ago, Jazzy." Alice replied, her eyes glistening with joy. "So what's your plan?" Edward asked. "Well, I was thinking we could have a date like dinner, and then watch a movie," Alice spoke. My face went white as she said movie.
"Okay, sounds good." Jasper agreed, looking down into Alice's eyes again. "Bella," Alice warned. I gulped and blinked a few times. "Bella? What's wrong?" Edward asked anxiously studying me for any injuries.
"I'm fine, Edward," I managed to get out of my frozen lips. "Then look at me and tell me that," Edward continued, waiting for my response. My eyes met his, and his eyes relaxed. "I'm fine, Edward, really," I assured him, flashing the best smile I could. "Only if you're sure, Bella," Edward sighed in relief. I looked over to the side of the room, and spotted an ebony piano. "That's a beautiful, piano. Whose is it?"
"That's mine, Bella," Edward answered. "It's beautiful," I repeated in awe. "Do you play?" Edward asked, slightly playful. "Renee forced me to do piano lessons, but eventually, I gave up." I replied, smiling in remembrance.
"You can't be too bad," Edward comforted. "She harmed my ears," Alice piped up. I blushed, and looked at Edward. "How long have you been playing?" I asked Edward, changing the subject. "Ever since I was five," Edward responded with a crooked smile. "Wow, do you think you can play me something?" I suggested.
"Bella, I'm honestly not that great," Edward rejected. "Please," I begged. Edward's body sagged, as he gave in. "Alright, Bella," Edward nodded. A smile danced across my lips at his response. He smiled too, and took my hand.
I sat carefully down on the piano bench and he sat beside me. He put his hands onto the alabaster keys and glanced at me for a second before playing. His fingers danced across the keys playing a sweet melody that warmed my heart. I closed my eyes and drifted away to the angelic sound the keys made.
I placed my head on his shoulder, and he responded by turning his head so he could kiss my forehead quickly. Worried that he'd think I was bored, I opened my eyes and listened intently. To say the song was soothing was not a correct word. I watched as he fingers pranced effortlessly against the keys and all too soon in abruptly ended.
"Edward that was amazing," I spoke breathless. "Glad you thought so," Edward smiled taking my hand in his. My heart beat erratically, and then I spoke.
"Did you write that song?" I questioned my eyebrows pulling together. "Yes," Edward chuckled, for no apparent reason. "It's a beautiful song, Edward." I smiled at him, so hard it hurt my cheeks. "It's not as beautiful as the girl I wrote it for," Edward replied. Blush warmed my cheeks, embarrassed I looked down onto the red carpet. Edward took my chin very gently.
"Bella, don't be embarrassed," Edward whispered before he kissed me. After a while, we pulled away. My eyes started to droop.
"Are you tired?" Edward whispered in my ear. "No," I responded. Then, I remembered. "I have to go upstairs," I spoke quickly. "May I accompany you?" Edward responded. I nodded my head meekly and Edward took my hand as I walked up the steps. I went into my bedroom, and finished unpacking.
"You can go down stairs if you want," I offered to Edward. "Why?" Edward asked. "I'm not doing anything remotely interesting, I just forgot to finish something," I explained folding a shirt.
"I prefer being with you," Edward replied. I blushed again. Once I got down to the bottom of the suitcase I found my favorite blue jacket, from when I was little. I held it up, marveling how small it was.
"I remember this," I laughed studying the small blue button up jacket. "Me too," Edward replied walking over to me. "It was my favorite," I remarked.
"You always wore it," Edward added. "Then I lost a button, it broke my heart." I spoke. "Sorry, Bella," Edward spoke wrapping his arms around me. "I'm fine, Edward. It was a long time ago," I assured him. "Still, Bella, I'm sorry that hurt you." Edward disagreed.
I looked at the clock for a moment. It was twelve thirty.
"Bella! Alice! Jasper! Edward, lunch!" Esme called from the kitchen. Edward and I walked down the staircase, joined by Alice and Jasper.
I sat down at the table. "Thank you for lunch, Esme. It looks delicious," I spoke appreciatively. "You're welcome, sweetheart. It was no trouble." Esme replied, smiling motherly again. Alice sat across from me, Jasper next to her. We all dug into our lunches. "So what were you two doing?" Alice asked, with a smug smile on her face.
"Well, Edward played a song for me on the piano, and then we went upstairs and I finished unpacking." I explained, exchanging a brief smile with Edward.
"Aww, that's cute. Did he play the song he wrote for you?" Alice asked. "Yep," I responded, blushing. "Edward, you weren't showing off, were you?" Esme piped up, putting the dishes away. "No, Mom," Edward replied. Esme shook her head as she dried her hands off with a dish towel.
"So what were you two doing?" I asked Alice. "Well, Jasper and I talked a lot, and then we snuggled on the couch," Alice responded. "That's nice," I nodded. "Bella, at four fifteen I want you at the door of my room," Alice reminded me. "Alice," I hissed. "Hey, you promised." Alice disagreed. "What is this about?" Jasper asked.
"A surprise, Jazzy," Alice said, briefly looking at him then flickered her stare at me. "Bella?" Edward asked very confused. "It's nothing, Edward." I spoke. "So you agree?" Alice asked, her eyes burning into mine. "Yes," I huffed. "Alright then," Alice nodded, her eyes twinkling. "It's Alice's surprise," I explained to Edward.
"Bella, I have to show you something," Edward spoke after we finished eating. "Okay," I agreed. Edward took my hand, and we started walking outside. "Where are you taking me?" I asked Edward. "It's a surprise," Edward replied.
We went through the forest successfully until I tripped on a tree root. Edward hastily lifted me into his arms. "Are you alright?" Edward asked anxiously.
"Yeah, besides being totally humiliated," I replied with a chuckle. "Don't be embarrassed, you sure though? No scratches or any injuries?" Edward asked again. "Yes, I'm absolutely fine," I assured him and his overly protective instincts.
"Good, you scared me," Edward sighed, kissing my cheek. "So are you going to put me down?" I asked, looking down at the moving ground. "No," Edward replied.
"Why?" I whined. "I don't want you tripping again, and I love carrying you." Edward responded. "Well, the tripping idea is unavoidable," I reminded him. "But seriously, please put me down." I begged. "Bella, please, just this once," Edward begged in return. "Fine," I sighed. "Thank you," Edward smiled his lopsided grin and kissed me on the forehead.
Soon we came to our destination. "I remember this!" I grinned, looking around at the meadow. "You should, Bella. It's our favorite place," Edward put me down. I looked around at the green blanket of grass with trees outlining the edges. I looked at all the beautiful flowers on the ground, and a creek in the distance. I saw the ferns, and lay down on the blanket of grass. Edward sat beside me.
"I missed this place," I mumbled. "I missed you, Bella. When you moved, it was hell for me," Edward told me. "Life wasn't too great for me, either," I agreed.
"I couldn't believe that my best friend was leaving, and the last day I fell in love with you. Yes, I was only thirteen. A year after you left, I realized I couldn't live without you, Bella." Edward told me. Blush crept up my cheeks.
"The day I first saw you, Bella, your eyes so frightened, I could kill Mike for what he almost did to you." Edward growled at the end. "You saved me though," I reminded him. "I was almost too late." Edward sighed. "But you weren't. I have to admit, once I saw your eyes, I knew everything was going to be okay." I reassured him.
"I was so scared that I was going to be too late," Edward shook his head. "But now I have you right next to me, and I'll never let you go." Edward smiled, stroking my cheek. I laid my head on his chest. "Me neither," I mumbled. "Bella, do you remember that jacket that you lost the button to?" Edward remarked.
"Yes," I said hesitantly. "I found the button," Edward smiled holding a small blue cloth button. "How did you find this?" I asked him, marveling at the discovery. "I found it two days after you left for Phoenix." Edward explained. "Why did you keep it after all these years?" I asked him blankly.
"Because I love you, and prayed you'd come back." Edward breathed. I bit my lip. "That's so sweet," I spoke. Edward then tilted my chin up so he could kiss me. After a long sweet kiss, we pulled away.
"I love you so much, Bella." Edward told me breathlessly. My heart skipped a few beats. I was speechless. "You don't have to say it back." Edward sighed. "I love you, too." I told him with some bravery. He smiled at me and held me close.
"Bella, do you want to head back?" Edward asked softly kissing my temple.
"If you want to head back, we can." I replied. "We'll head back in fifteen minutes," Edward compromised. I nodded. We just enjoyed the silence, and I was warm in his arms.
Once fifteen minutes was up, Edward lifted me again in his arms. "Edward, please put me down," I begged. "Alright, Bella," Edward sighed, as he put me on the ground. "You'll have to bear with me though; I'm not the quickest walker." I spoke. "It's fine," Edward assured me, taking my hand in his as we walked back home.
I walked up the steps. "I'll see you later, Edward." I told him. "Alright, love." Edward agreed, slightly hurt. I gave him a quick kiss as I knocked on Alice's door. "Alice!" I called.
"Hey, Bella, come on in." Alice smiled. I came in. "Sit by the mirror." Alice instructed. "So what happened?" Alice asked as she started curling my hair. After I told her everything she had a big smile on her face.
After two torturous hours she was done. "Bella, you look great!" Alice smiled. "Thanks," I smiled adjusting the blue dress I was wearing. I looked at myself in the mirror; yes the girl in the mirror was very pretty.
Her brown curls were cascading down her back, and her strapless ocean blue dress ended an inch below her knee. "You look great, too, Alice." I blushed. Alice threw some heels on me, and I regretfully put them on. Esme and Carlisle were out eating dinner for their anniversary.
I took a deep breath before walking out of the door. Jasper and Edward were waiting at the end of the staircase. Alice nearly skipped down the staircase to very surprised and joyful Jasper.
"Alice, where is my girlfriend?" Edward asked. "She's coming, now. Aren't you, Bella?" Alice called for me. "If I don't trip." I yelled back. I shakily walked to the staircase, and saw Edward's face light up and his jaw drop as I descended down the stairs.
"Told you she looked gorgeous," Alice teased Edward. "I always thought she did," Edward replied still flabbergasted and open mouthed. I walked over to Edward and blushed as his eyes trailed up and down me.
"Bella...you look absolutely...stunning." Edward complemented. "Thank you, you look handsome yourself," I replied still cherry red. Edward wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Alright, so we're ready for romantic double date dinner night," Alice smiled squealing. "Absolutely," Edward and I agreed. The dining room was transformed into a restaurant. Well, sort of. There were candles surrounding every corner, the lights were dimmed. The table was covered with a red table cloth and four place settings.
Edward escorted me to the table and sat next to me. The food looked really appetizing also. "Alice, this is beautiful, how did you do all this?" I asked her.
"I have my ways," Alice chirped. "You two had this planned?" Jasper and Edward asked. "Well, Alice had it planned down to a science. Alice has a plan for tomorrow also." I explained.
"I see, wow, Alice." Jasper smiled. "So what did you two do today?" Edward asked Alice and Jasper. Briefly Jasper blushed. "We snuggled again, and I showed her Mom's fashion collection," Jasper smiled and Alice nodded. "So what did you two do?" Jasper asked.
"We went to the meadow," Edward replied giving me a loving glance. "So what's planned for tonight?" Edward asked. "We're watching a movie," I replied.
"Oh? Which one?" Jasper asked Alice. "It's a surprise," Alice replied winking at me. "A real surprise," I grumbled under my breath. "Bella, do you not like this movie?" Edward asked looking at my expression.
"Not particularly," I responded giving a brief glare to Alice. "I picked it out," Alice spoke smugly. "Yep, a real Alice choice," I agreed. "Oh, a romantic comedy?" Jasper asked.
"Not exactly," Alice and I spoke. "Oh, well, maybe it's unexpected." Edward spoke. "It is," I agreed. After dinner, Edward escorted me up the stairs. "You look exquisite, Bella," Edward whispered. I blushed.
"I'll see you downstairs, love," Edward smiled kissing my lips for a moment. "Downstairs it is," I nodded. I went into my room and peeled off my dress and brushed my hair.
I put on some pajamas and took off the excess make-up. My hair now was in a comfortable ponytail, and I was finally relaxed. I gave the dress back to Alice, and put on some fluffy slippers before finishing my nighttime ritual.
After that was done, I met Alice in her room. "We ready?" I asked her. "Yeah," Alice smiled holding the DVD in her hand. "Uh," I grumbled. I walked down the staircase and went into the living room and lay on the couch. Edward came in moments later, lying next to me. Alice and Jasper came in; Alice hit the lights and popped in the DVD.
She and Jasper lay on the other couch. Alice hit the play button. "Bella, is this going to scare you?" Edward whispered into my ear. "I'll close my eyes at the scary parts," I replied. Half the movie I was crying into Edward's chest. "Shh, love, it's okay," Edward soothed me. He wrapped his arms around me and held me close.
Usually I fall asleep during movies, but not this one. Alice was lying there, wrapped in Jasper's arms sometimes throwing me a happy glance. I didn't want to think about what I looked like then.
Finally, when I was truly starting to lose hope, Edward spoke. "Bella, the movie is over. I'm going to carry upstairs, okay?" Edward whispered softly in my ear. I was tired; I just gave him a sluggish nod.
Edward swept me into his arms and brought me to my bed. "Goodnight," Edward spoke as he tucked me under the covers. "I love you," I murmured. "I love you, too, Bella." Edward smiled kissing me gently before turning off the lights and closing the door behind him.
I fell into a terrible sleep. I was having a nightmare. I was in a cave and this voice came out of nowhere.
"I know what you did yesterday," It spoke. It sounded a whole lot like Alice.
"What?" I squeaked. "Bella, why?" Alice's voice chocked and out came Alice in ghost form. "What did I do?" I asked brokenly. "You killed her!" Jasper yelled his eyes deadly. "No...N-no, I could n-eever k-kill her." I cried. "You did," Jasper yelled. I screamed. "Bella, love, I don't love you anymore," Edward's voice came. "Why?" I asked.
"You killed Alice, I never did anyway." Edward spoke. My heart broke. "You d-don't l-love me?" I whimpered. "No." Edward said curtly. I screamed again. "I know what you did yesterday," Another voice spoke.
"What?" Then I felt something cold creep up me a hand on my neck. I screamed before waking up.
"Love, it's okay, it what just a dream," Edward shushed me. Sweat coated my back, and I cried. "What has tortured you so?" Edward asked putting me into his arms.
"You said you didn't l-love me," I whimpered. "Bella," He spoke angrily. "I love you more than anything else in, the world will never change." Edward comforted me. "Then I k-killed Alice," I cried. "Bella, sweetheart, it was just a nightmare. I'm so sorry." Edward said, kissing me everywhere he could reach. "I'm okay, Edward." I assured him.
"I'll kill Alice, for making you watch that movie," He mumbled. "Don't, Edward. It was all part of the plan." I admitted. "Bella, what is the plan?" Edward asked. "Alice thought if we watched a scary movie than you and Jasper would put your arms around us." I explained, closing my eyes.
"Oh, Bella," Edward sighed, putting me into his arms. "This was all Alice's idea, wasn't it?" Edward asked. I nodded, my eyes still closed. "Bella, I would've put my arms around you any day," Edward comforted me. "Now, you better get some sleep," Edward continued. "Okay. Edward can I ask you a favor?" I asked, softly.
"Anything," Edward urged. "Can you...um...hold me?" I asked, squeaking by the end. "Of course, I'll hold you until you fall asleep," Edward agreed. Then I fell asleep in Edward's arms, and felt safe.
Sun fell through the window, and I was tangled in the sheets. I groaned and stretched before looking around the bed. Edward, just as he said left the room, after I fell asleep.
That without a doubt was a good night sleep. After the nightmare, I fell into a calm sleep. After staring at the room for some time, I got myself ready for the day. I walked down the staircase sometime later, and greeted Esme in the kitchen. "Good morning, Bella. How did you sleep?" Esme asked, mixing a bowl of pancake batter.
"Well, thank you. Do you need any help with breakfast?" I asked her. "Not right now, dear. Thank you for asking. Breakfast will be ready in about forty-five minutes," Esme spoke. "Oh, alright. Thanks for making breakfast," I nodded in agreement. "You're so welcome, dear. Edward's in the other room," Esme informed. I nodded and started walking into the living room.
Edward was playing the piano, the sound was beautiful. He looked very deep in thought as his fingers raced across the keys. I stood there in the doorway, totally taken with the scene.
I would have to take a mental snapshot. I didn't want to disturb him, so I quietly crept to the large crimson chair in the corner and silently watched and listened. A smile flew across my face as I recognized the sweet song he was playing. The song was my lullaby. I closed my eyes and drifted away with the music. I took a deep breath, not meaning for it to be so loud.
"Am I boring you, Bella?" Edward asked from the piano. "No of course not," I replied. Edward peeled away from the piano and turned to me. "How did you sleep?" Edward asked, carefully taking my hand in his.
As I looked at his emerald eyes, I lost myself in their depths. Once realizing how much of an idiot I must've looked, I quickly recovered. "Umm...Well besides the nightmare," I replied.
"You really scared me there. I've never seen you so distressed," Edward spoke. "Thanks for lying with me until I fell asleep," I thanked him. "It was no trouble. I enjoyed it," Edward responded with his famous lopsided smile. "Me too," I nodded. "Maybe we can watch a calmer movie tonight," Edward suggested.
"I agree," I nodded. "Well, now we just have to ask Alice and Jasper," Edward reminded. "Yes. Speaking of them, where are they?" I asked him. "Alice is looking at fashion magazines with Jasper," Edward replied. "Jasper's looking at fashion magazines?" I questioned raising my eyebrows. "Only because Alice asked to," Edward responded.
"That makes sense. I have to finish some homework later," I remembered. "So do I. Maybe we can work on homework together," Edward suggested. "That's a great idea," I agreed.
"Breakfast!" Esme called. We all went into the kitchen and sat down at the table. After a scrumptious breakfast, Edward and I began homework. That meant calculus, groan.
"This is cruel and unusual punishment," I moaned as I started calculus. "I totally agree. Doesn't an amendment in the Constitution make that uncostutional?" Edward asked as he finished a problem. "I see you've been paying attention in History," I accessed.
"Absolutely, I would like to go to Dartmouth College, I have to." Edward spoke. "Dartmouth, huh? Wow, that's a really good school." I spoke. "It is, it's also extremely hard to get into," Edward sighed. "I figured that, but you'll be accepted," I assured him. "Why?" Edward asked. "Because you're Edward Cullen, who wouldn't want to accept you?" I explained.
"A lot of people," Edward replied. I gave him a hard look before beginning my last problem. "What school do you want to go to?" Edward asked me. "I really don't know. I would like to major in literature," I spoke. "Wow, so you want to become a writer?" Edward asked.
"Well, I hope to," I replied. "I'm sure you will," Edward spoke. I bit my lip and nodded. Soon I was done with calculus, and started on History. After our homework session was over, it was lunch time. After finishing lunch I started reading a book I had to read for English. I draped myself across the red chair.
After reading several chapters, I looked up and saw Edward standing in the doorway. "Sorry, Bella, I couldn't help it. You look so beautiful," Edward spoke. I blushed at his statement. "Thanks." I blushed. He came over and kissed my hair softly. I went upstairs to put my book away, and Edward followed me.
I lay across my bed. Edward lay beside me. I smiled at him, and he started to kiss me. I kissed him back, my lips slightly parting. I felt every line of him press against me. We pulled away panting. From there on, we just laid in each others arms. Edward would kiss my face ever so often and I would put my head on his chest and drift off for an afternoon nap.
I stretched and woke up. "Good afternoon, love," Edward said, kissing me lightly. "Good afternoon."
Soon enough dinner was served, and we all came down the steps. Moments later, a very tired looking Carlisle came through the doors. He embraced Esme, and then greeted us.
"Bella, Alice! How are you two?" Carlisle asked a smile on his face. "We're great," I replied. "Are you enjoying your stay?" Carlisle asked. "Very much," I responded.
"Well, I know we all are too," Carlisle nodded, eyeing Jasper and Edward. He came over and gave Alice and me a fatherly hug. "Alright, well, dinner's in the other room," Esme spoke, gesturing to the kitchen.
We all sat down at the table, said grace then dug in. After a lingering dinner conversation Alice and I started up the stairs. "What movie do you think we should watch?" Alice asked, flipping through DVDs.
"Nothing scary," I murmured. "I kind of figured that. Hmm, we can't watch a chick flick, damn. Maybe Slumdog Millionaire?" Alice suggested. "Yes, that's not too scary." I agreed. So I went back to my bedroom, and got ready for bed. I walked down the staircase, my hair sloppily pulled back into a ponytail.
"Hi, Edward," I waved. "Hello yourself," Edward returned taking my hands in his. We made our way over to the couch and I lay down. Edward lie next to me, and put a blanket over me. "I'm not cold," I rejected. "Yes, but this house gets very cold at night, thanks to Dad's demands," Edward replied kissing my nose.
"Fine," I huffed adjusting my body against the pillow. "Which movie are we watching tonight?" Edward asked, whispering in my ear. "Slumdog Millionaire," I replied yawning. "Bella! It was supposed to be a surprise!" Alice boomed from the stairwell. "Sorry!" I apologized blushing.
"Ugh, Bella!" Alice sighed loudly. "Sorry," I apologized again. "I guess I'll forgive you," Alice assured. "Please?" I asked. "Fine, I don't think I could ever hold a grudge against you." Alice forgave me.
"Phew," I sighed. Edward kissed my cheek and the movie started. I fell asleep halfway through the movie, and I felt myself being carried to my bed.
I felt a soft kiss on my forehead, and then Edward was gone. I woke in the middle of the night, and couldn't fall back asleep. I'd toss and turn, and grumble. I gave up, and just sneaked downstairs and started reading in the study.
I read the book I was assigned to read. Of course I'm a slow reader, so I was only on the two-hundred pages, but I was making progress. After a seventy pages, my eyes started to droop.
I heard a ruckus from upstairs and someone running down the stairs. I felt coldness seep through my body as I thought of the worst situations, but my head was telling me it was probably one of the Cullens. Edward came into the study moments later.
"Bella? Are you in here?" Edward asked, panicking. "Yes," I spoke. "Thank God," Edward sighed in relief walking over to the chair I was sitting in and giving me a hug. "I was so worried, I didn't know where you were," Edward spoke. I chuckled at his overprotective behavior.
"Whenever I can't fall asleep, I read," I explained. "You should be getting back to bed, you need your rest," Edward spoke. "I probably should. I think I'm at a good stopping point." I mumbled.
"Alright," Edward agreed. He picked me up in his arms and carried upstairs. "Thanks, Edward," I murmured. "No problem, just don't scare me like that again," Edward spoke, brushing the stray hairs off my forehead.
He kissed my lips for a second then went back to his room. I slept the rest of the night. I woke up late the next morning and had to pack off, Charlie and Renee would be back at ten. After packing, and getting ready for the day, I headed downstairs.
"Good morning, Bella. How did you sleep?" Esme asked, making breakfast. "Well, thank you." I responded running a hand through my hair. "Alright, break fast will be ready in a little while. Edward's in the family room." Esme informed.
"Thank you, Esme." I nodded starting to walk into the living room. Alice was upstairs packing and Jasper and Edward were playing video games. So Emmett's habits clearly rubbed off on them. I sat beside Edward. "Good morning, love. How did you sleep?" Edward turned to me.
"Well, thank you. Besides the staying up and reading thing," I replied. "That's good." Edward spoke. "You two are really absorbed in that game. Jasper won't even pay attention to me!" Alice exclaimed coming in the room with her hands on her hips. "Sorry, darlin'," Jasper apologized. "It's okay, Jazzy," Alice sighed. I walked over to Alice.
"You're really PMSing," I spoke patting her shoulder. "I know, I didn't mean to snap like that," Alice cried. "Oh, Alice, it's okay. He forgave you," I gave her a hug. "Thank you, sis," Alice spoke. "Anytime," I told her, patting her shoulder once more before sitting down next to Edward again and watching them play video games.
"Dude, I can't believe you won," Jasper spoke to Edward. "I know! Especially in 'Medal of Honor' you're usually unbeatable," Edward chuckled. "Well, everyone can get beat sometime in your life. Besides, you probably cheated," Jasper remarked. "I would never cheat!" Edward argued.
"Boys! Boys! I swear sometimes I think you two are acting like five year olds!" Esme scolded.
"Sorry, Mom." Edward and Jasper apologized. "It's okay, breakfast is ready," Esme shook her head. We all came and ate, and then Edward played piano again. I heard the car park in the driveway. "Bella! Alice! Go get your stuff!" Esme instructed. I went upstairs and got my suitcase. "Bella, let me take that," Edward offered.
"Edward, I'm fine," I rejected. "It was wonderful having you here," Edward spoke wrapping his arms around my waist, whispering in my ear. "Wonderful being here," I replied. He kissed me briefly. "I love you, Bella," Edward spoke. "I love you, too, Edward." I smiled. Renee and Charlie came through the door.
"C'mon girls, time to go," Mom called. I gave everyone a hug, and then looked Edward for sometime. "Call me?" I mouthed. He nodded and I smiled. "I love you." I mouthed. "I love you, too." Edward mouthed. With those three words, my heart flew.
Aww, wasn't that cute? :). Fluffiness always warms my heart. You know the drill, please review! This story is nowhere near done.
