Chapter 4
I woke up feeling Edward's lips on mine. "Good morning beautiful."
"Hello husband!" I said proudly.
"So what do you want for breakfast?" he asked.
I thought for a minute then unexpected I straddled on top of him. His eyes wide as I bent down to kiss him. "You would do nicely." I said.
I felt his lips tremble as he laughed beneath me. "I meant edible food, Bella."
"Do you have cereal?" I asked.
"Do you like pancakes?" he asked ignoring my question.
"Yes. But wh..." he stopped me mid sentence with a kiss.
"Come with me." he said handing my his shirt and a clean pair of underwear for me to put on.
As I started down the stair I could smell butter pancakes. When I walked into the kitchen there they were with orange juice and syrup. He sat me down at the table and I ate slowly. The first bit filled my mouth with a sweet taste that is better than any restaurant could make.
"Edward these are so good. Did you make them yourself?" I asked.
"Mammoth." he said nodding his head.
"Is there anything that you aren't good at?"
"Oh really? And what is that?"
He looked down. Then smiled. "Sorry can't think of anything."
I practically spit my food out. "Your perfect. Too perfect." I mumbled. He always teased me like that.
He lifted up my chin with his icy cold finger. "Don't be sad." he smiled. "Come on I want to show you something." he said swiftly putting my plate in the sink and grabbing my hand before I could get my thoughts together.
As we went upstairs to his room. I realized that my stuff was already packed in my suitcase. "Edward? Where am I going?" I asked curiously.
"We are going to and island off the southern coast of California to relax on a private beach island thing. Didn't Alice already tell you this?" his eyebrows pulling together.
I had completely forgot about that. "Oh." I said suddenly. "But I thought they weren't coming home until tomorrow?"
"Exactly. But we are leaving today." he said taking me gently into his arms.
I gasped as he took me to the bathroom. "Get ready as fast as you can the plane leaves in 3 hours."
I took a shower letting the hot water hit my back, relaxing my muscles. When I got out I tried to get dressed as fast as I could tripping over practically everything that I tried to get onto my body. I was close to hitting the sink when two iron grasping hands caught my fall while I was putting on my jeans.
"Maybe not that fast, love." Edward stood behind me his godlike features reflecting in the mirror next to my uncombed hair and ruffled features. He only moved his hands to pull my pants up. I didn't even hear him enter or matter of fact I didn't hear the door open either. I looked at him breathless.
After his hands moved from my jeans he spun me around arms still around me only to kiss me for the briefest moment when he looked away from my face into the mirror. "Try not to need me too much. I already have to live with your clumsiness for the rest of my life you know." His eyes looked distant. He didn't look like he was talking to me until he returned his gaze and kissed my hair line only to turn me back around and leave the bathroom.
I looked into the mirror brushing my mid length hair only to pull it up into a pony tail. I grabbed my bag of toiletries and put them back in the dresser. I looked around the room and Edward wasn't there. "Edward?" I called. Only to find him open the door with another suitcase like mine except mine was a admonish red and his was a deep blue. The only kind Edward would look good with. I giggled as I watched him approach me.
"What?" he asked calmly returning his lopsided grin that I loved the most.
"And what are you going to take with you?" I asked batting my eyelashes at him.
"Well clothes of course, a bathing suit, and you of course." he said smiling to take me into his arms. He held my face between his cold hands and kissed me. I nearly fainted at this. Mainly because I had nothing for support. He kissed me so much today. He just looked at me and laughed the loudest I have ever heard. I stood up and stalked out of the room, but before I knew it his iron grasp arms were around me to keep me from going any further. "I'm sorry love. I couldn't help myself. You are just too funny sometimes. You know that right?"
"Not as funny as you." I said pushing him away from me with no success as I pointed at his face and fake laughed.
His face turned serious and I ripping sound came from his chest. "Trying to be funny are we?" he asked his voice harder than ever.
My eyes wide with horror as I looked back at his barring teeth and heard the ripping noise that was coming from his chest. "I-I—I-- am sorry." I managed.
He just composed his face and laughed again. I sat on the floor but he picked me up in his arms and carried me back to our room. "Don't be like that Bella." he sulked.
Unexpectedly I threw my arms around his neck and kissed his nose. My face wide with happiness as he knew I got him back. He murmured something under his breath that sounded like 'just wait till later' but it was too fast to of really of understood.
