Chapter 05

I had the best sleep in years. I woke up feeling two strong and warm arms around me. Soon my happiness turned into surprise as I opened my eyes to find out that the arms that were hugging me were Edward's. My face must have turned the deepest shade of crimson, I could feel it. I tried to free myself from his grasp, but to no avail. I didn't want to have his family seeing us like this.

"Edward…" I whispered in his ear and got no answer. "Wake up, please."

I repeated this three more times and the only answer I got was his grasp on me turning stronger. I decided it was time for drastic measures so I started ticking lightly. He moved his arms to stop me, and I got up from the loveseat.

"Nice way of waking someone up, Isabella." He mumbled grumpy.

"It's Bella." I corrected him. "And at least you woke up smiling!"

"Very funny." He said in a still grumpy tone.

"I tried to wake you normally; I even tried not to wake you…" I said beginning to blush. "But your iron grip wouldn't let me get up."

"Sorry about that…" He said BLUSHING! Oh, my God! He was blushing!

"I'm the one sorry… I fell asleep first, didn't I?" I said, my face turning impossibly redder.

"They woke up, Esme!" I heard Alice saying by the door.

'Oh, God… That means everyone saw this little scene. Ok, my face will definitely be stained with this blush.' Was the only thing I could think of.

"You guys should try not to oversleep! It's already ten o'clock!" Alice said giggling.

"Shit! I'm late for the parliament meeting!" Edward said in a rushed tone.

"Don't worry, Carlisle said he would go to the meeting in your place." Alice said in a happy voice. "God knows its being a long time since you really slept."

"Free day?" He said smiling.

"Don't get used to it." She said smirking. "Now, both of you come eat some breakfast."

"Good morning, Esme." Edward said in a carefree tone.

"Good morning, Edward and Bella!" She said in a joyful tone. I think that if she was Alice, she would be jumping up and down.

"Good morning…" I said in my possibly permanent crimson blush.

We ate in silence. I was hoping none of them would bring up the whole sleeping incident. Of course, I was hoping in vain.

"So…" Alice began. "Care to share what happened last night?"

"No." Edward replied curtly.

Alice then turned her puppy eyes to me.

Thinking that acting like Edward would only make this misunderstanding worse I swallowed a great intake of air and said. "I woke up from a nightmare in the early hour of the morning and decided to go read a bit, as I couldn't go back to sleep."

I looked at Edward, who must have thought it was cool let me do all the explanation, and continued. "I decided to go to the library to find a book. When I got there, Edward was already reading something."

"And then?" Alice asked as if I was going to tell her about a heavy making out session.

"I chose a book, sat to read it and must have fallen back asleep." I summarized.

"Oh…" I could see the disappointment in Alice's eyes, but not in Esme's. Her eyes were just as joyful as before. I was really afraid of what was going on Esme's head, so I decided not to ask her.

"And what are your plans for today, since you don't have to attend to the parliament meeting today?" Esme asked Edward.

"I don't know, doing nothing or reading a book sounds great for me." Edward stated. I blushed since my plan for the time without him in the house was to read some books.

"That won't do!" Esme said unhappy. "Bella just got here and must be thinking that London doesn't have anything to offer to distract young adults like you!"

"Esme, I'm not-" I was trying to say that I knew that London had a lot to offer and that it didn't hold me any interest.

"Edward, you'll take Bella somewhere you think she'll like, won't you?" Esme said in a tone that left no space for argument.

"Sure…" Edward resigned. "Where would you like to go, Bella?"

"I just wanted to finish the Leviathan…" I said with my head lowered, looking at my fingers. "But if we must go somewhere, a bookstore would be nice. I need to buy some things. They sell notebooks and ink in the bookstores here, don't they?" I asked somewhat excited.

"Yes, they do." Edward answered laughing.

"Don't laugh at me, Mr. Masen!" I said trying to fake anger, but that only made him laugh harder.

"Now that the two of you decided where you are heading of to, it's time for a bath and changing clothes." Esme stated as I noticed Alice's eyes growing bigger and sparkling.

'Damn! Not another person to torture me!' I prayed, knowing it was in vain.

"Bellaaa…" Alice began in a singing voice.

"No, please, Alice… No…" I resorted to begging.

"Oh, come on, Bella. Let me dress you up and do your make up! Please, pretty please!" Alice asked with her puppy eyes and a pout. That's it! I'm a sucker, because I can't say no to her when she is like this. I replied with a nod, making Alice begin to jump up and down.

"Stop laughing, Edward!" She glared at him, and I noticed that he must have being laughing from the very beginning of my and Alice's little exchange of words. So I glared at him too.

"Alice, we'll be leaving right after lunch, so don't make her suffer too much or make me wait." Edward said seriously.

"Ok, don't worry!" Alice said pushing me upstairs.

Alice told me to go take the shower while she would choose my attire. So I just did it. The cold water did me good and woke every fiber of my being that may not have woken up from the dream that was Edward Masen's touch. After the shower I got dressed in the clothes Alice left there for me to wear (along with my underwear, of course). I loved her choice; my marine blue summer dress was one of my favorites and my flat blue greek sandals. When I got out of the bathroom, Alice made me sit on the chair in front of the big mirror that stays in the left corner of my room. She put my hair in a perfect bun with a small braid in each side. She did my make up really lightly and I really thank her for that.

By the time we were called to go downstairs to have lunch, Alice already had worked her magic. I looked at the mirror impressed, liking a lot what I was seeing.

"Thanks, Alice." I said honestly.

"You're always welcome, Dear." She replied with a wide grin. "Now let's go downstairs, I can't wait to see Edward's reaction." She added giggling.

"You are one evil little pixie, you know that, don't you?" I stated laughing.

"You know you don't mean it, you are actually trying to say that you love how your future sister-in-law is a genius." She claimed clapping her hands.

"Sure, sure… And don't forget modest!" I said with a lot of sarcasm.

"Let's go, Bella!" She said finally.

She made sure that Edward and Esme were waiting for us by the end of the stairs. She wanted a "dramatic effect" for my entrance, she said. For me it was just a way of embarrassing myself and showing off her ability with make up and fashion.

"I'll go down and you'll count to 5 before going down, ok?" Alice chirped.

"Ok, now can we go please?" I said, tense about having a display time. Attention was one of the things that I didn't like.

Without saying a word, she went down as I counted until five before going down. When I did, I thought I heard a really low "beautiful angel" in a velvet voice.

'It must have being my imagination. There's no way Edward, the Greek God, would call plain old me beautiful or angel!' I thought with coherence.

Right after I got to the bottle of the stairs Edward extended his hand toward mine. I placed my hand in his and allowed him to guide me to the lunch table.

The lunch was calm, and without much conversation. I was thankful for that, because with Edward constant staring at me it was nearly impossible to think straight. We ate the dessert, an apple pie that was delicious, and headed for the living room.

"Bella, you stay here. I'll ask Samuel to get the carriage ready." He said before leaving. I nodded.

Fifteen minutes later we were heading to the bookstore and I was really looking forward getting there. I would buy the material I would need for the sake of taking notes from the most important books Carlisle had. If I couldn't go the College, at least I would be able to study by myself.
