Chapter 4: Saving That Thing for My Beloved!
Edward's POV
After reading her note, I started planning out my plans to fulfill all her wishes and give her the best Christmas she ever have. First things first on her list is bringing alive that rusty old truck of hers given to her by that mutt…
I shivered at the thought of Bella driving that old truck. I can give her any new car she wanted. Porsche, Honda, Toyota, Mazda, BMW, Chevrolet, Volvo, Ferrari etc. etc.! But all she wants is that rusty old truck! Oh well I thought to myself. No point buying a new car for her and having her upset. If she wants her truck to come alive then so be it. That night, when Bella was sleeping, I regrettably left her side for an hour or so. I ran over to the junk yard where her truck was and carried it back to my house. After I placed it between Emmett's and Alice's cars, I walked into the house calling my family.
Within seconds, they all appeared at my side.
"Well, this year, I want to give Bella the perfect Christmas. And I will need all of your help to help me make this an unforgettable memory for her." I said while looking into each and every one of their eyes.
"This include you Rosalie. No snide remarks to Bella this year." I said while she just rolled her eyes.
"Dude! Did you manage to read Bella's mind?" Emmett asked as he placed an arm around Rosalie.
"Nope, but I know what she wants for Christmas this year." I replied smugly.
"Son, what do you have planned?" Carlisle asked me as she patted me on my shoulder.
I smiled at all of them while my voice dropped to a whisper.
"This is what we are going to do…."
When I was done with my planning and everyone was clear, I ran back quickly to Bella's house. She was still sleeping soundly when I entered her room. That morning when she woke up, I had a small discussion with her. I knew that if I wanted to fulfill her first wish in that list, I was going to need some time away from her. It was going to make her unhappy with the idea I was going to come up with, but it was going to the greater cause I hope.
"Bella," I called out as she sat across from me eating her cereal.
"Love, what do you think of decorating this house up for Christmas?" I said as her spoon slipped out of her fingers and clattered onto the table.
"Say what?" she stared at me while she picked her spoon up.
"Decorating love Christmas is round the corner. We have to decorate this house up for the festive season." I explained patiently.
"But we don't decorate around here." She said narrowing her eyes at me as she stood up and placed her bowl in the sink.
"Do it for Charlie love. I'm sure no one celebrates Christmas with him a lot. This would mean a lot to him." I said the one thing that I knew Bella couldn't say no to. Although she does not say it, I know Bella loves Charlie a lot and hates the fact that she did not spend a lot of time with him in the past. When I mentioned this fact, her shoulder slumped in defeat as she allowed me to call Esme up to plan the decorations. I even added Alice in because I knew Alice would make it over the top beautiful giving me extra time with her surprise.
The next day, I sent Emmett down to help in the decorations mainly cause I knew Alice would do it really fast, Jasper couldn't be with Bella for too long, they were awkward with each other after the paper cut incident and I don't want to take any risks this time in case anything happened to Bella. Rosalie…I needed her help although I hate to admit it. Esme was too nice and may spill the secrets out to Bella or do it faster than I expected. Carlisle was busy working at the hospital. So Emmett was the perfect person. He wasn't the best person to handle decorations. He isn't very good in helping you hang stuff. All he can do is carry heavy stuff around and tease Bella. And he takes quite a long time to figure out things around. So he would slow Bella down. That's why I sent him over. I knew Bella would be upset but this was worth it if I could put a smile on her face.
So here I am standing in the garage watching Rosalie move around Bella's dead truck.
"There is absolutely nothing I can do! It's dead! The wires are burned out, the engine is rusty and…well, to make it simple and sum it up, it's dead! There is nothing I can do. It's a sin for anyone to drive this gross shit around. Let me give you a piece of advice, just buy a new car for Bella!" with that, she stomped out of the garage.
"Rosalie!" I called out to her in irritation as I followed her to the kitchen. "Surely there is something you can do about it! You are the best mechanic I know! Can't you just do something about it?" I asked as I ran my hands through my disheveled hair.
She spun around on her heals and stare at me and bite her lips.
"Are you mad? Save that hideous thing? Now why would I want that? The entire engine is burnt out and if I want to change it and leave the old paint job, it's too tedious. Now isn't it better to just buy a new car? Saves more money too don't you think so?" my eye twitched with irritation.
"Rosalie," I said pinching the bridge of my nose. "Why don't you just change the entire engine? I will pay for it and Bella doesn't need to know anything about that! Bella will be happy and that is our goal remember!" I shouted at her while I grabbed her arm and dragged her back into the garage.
Half an hour later, I was sitting on the garage floor holding the car up so that Rosalie can work on changing the entire engine for Bella. I can still hear Rosalie cursing below the car but I know it didn't matter at all if Bella was happy.
After many hours of working on Bella's car with Rosalie, it was finally finished. I smiled and picked up my coat and the keys to my Volvo and made my way over to Bella's house. It was a little after nine and I knew Bella would be a little upset that I didn't spend the day with her.
When I reached Bella's house, I got out and walked over to the door and knocked on it. Although I wanted to just jump up into Bella's room and take her away, but I couldn't take the risk of Charlie finding out that Bella was missing and ground her all the way to Christmas. That would just ruin my plans. So when Charlie opened the door, I gave him my best smile and asked for Bella. He grunted in my direction told me to wait out here while he got Bella. But as usual, I didn't listen to him and followed behind him quietly so he didn't hear me.
When I reached Bella's bedroom, I saw her sprawled out on the bed with her earphone plugged in. I gave her a smile and she returned it. Charlie noticed her smile and turned around mumbling. But I was gone before he could properly face the door
As I stood in the doorway waiting patiently for Bella, I looked around the house and admired the decorations. When Bella came to view, I moved forward and grabbed her around her waist pulling her to me.
"I'll get her home before midnight Chief Swan." I said pulling Bella out into the cold night and into the Volvo. Along the way, we made small talk before falling into silence. Oh I can't wait to see Bella's face when she sees that truck alive.
When we reached my house, Bella was greeted by my family members before I pulled her into the garage. Leading her in between cars, I brought her to where her truck lay below the plastic sheet covering. When she asked about me spending any money on her, I just chuckled and said no. It was a little white lie I was telling but if it made her happy, then why not.
When she uncovered her truck, she was jubilant as she threw herself at me. I placed my arm around her small waist as I laughed with her.
"An early Merry Christmas to you baby." I told her as I pulled back from the hug. "Now try it out!" I told her handing her the keys.
I lifted her easily into the driver's seat as I watched her bring her truck to life. The look on her face was one that I would always want to see. It was so happy, so carefree. When she leapt out of her seat and into my arms, I could only chuckle at her as she started kissing me all over my face.
"Thank you thank you thank you!" she shouted in between kisses. "You saved my baby! You are my hero!" she said as she continued to kiss me. I smiled at her inwardly. In my mind, I cancelled of the first thing she wrote on her list. Part one of Bella's perfect Christmas, completed.
Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas this year is………
i) My truck to come alive again. ~completed~
Love,
Bella
