Bella POV
Once I was in the bathroom I decided, I was going to take an abnormally long shower. I thought I deserved one after putting up with Alice for a full day. I turned the shower on as warm as I could stand, then I just stood there and let the water warm up and sooth my sore muscles. All of my worries about the wedding went away, so did the memories about what I bought with Alice while we were at the mall. The stuff we had bought was safely hidden away in a spot that Edward wouldn't dare check.
Oh Edward, I couldn't help but smile every time I thought about him. He makes everything seem perfect, and whenever I'm around him every worry I have seems nonexistent. I was drawn from my thoughts when I heard Charlie laugh about something on the television. Then it hit me that I had been in here for almost a half and hour, and that my amazing boyfriend was probably going to be waiting for me in my room when I returned.
With that thought in my head I stepped out of the shower and finished the rest of my nightly routine. The time was 10:07; I knew that in my room Edward would be waiting for me. I walked back to my room, when I didn't see him on my bed I was upset. Then I decided that I should check his other spot and sure enough there was my own Adonis sitting in my rocking chair. I smiled and ran towards him when I saw him.
I was really excited to see him so I jumped on his lap and he laughed and said that he missed me. I told him that I missed him too and then we just talked. He asked about everything that happened in Seattle, even the shopping torture with Alice. He caught me off guard and asked me what we bought and I almost told him. When I figured that this was his plan all along I started to yell at him.
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen!" I said as loudly as I could without Charlie hearing. "Do you really think that you can dazzle me into telling you what I bought?" I couldn't help but laugh as I jumped off his lap and laughed to myself.
"I thought it wouldn't hurt to try." He said with his crooked smile that always gets me.
Edward POV
After I finished talking to my family, I realized that if I didn't start running now that I would be late to Bella's. If I was late she would piece together that something was up. When I jumped into her room I could still hear the shower running, so I was in the clear. I didn't have to wait long for her because once I sat down in her rocking chair I heard the shower turn off. I knew that it would only be a few moments until I saw Bella again, and with that all of my worries left my body. I knew her routine fairly well so I was pretty sure that it would only be about five minutes until the love of my life came bounding into my arms again. I decided to waste those five minutes but reuniting myself with Wuthering Heights. I still didn't understand how Bella could read Bronte's love story over and over again. I personally didn't see the point of it. After I was a few pages into the book I heard the door open and I dropped the book on the floor so I could take Bella into my arms.
"I missed you." I said as she sat on my lap and I held her in my arms.
"I missed you too." She said as she smiled, and gave me a peck on the lips. Which then made me smile my cooked smile, I knew she loved.
I also looked at the clock in her room and saw that it was now 10:30 and I knew that if I wanted my plan to work that I had to get her into bed soon. I wasn't sure how long it would take Rosalie to dismember the big hunk of worthless rust that sat in the driveway. So now it was time to commence Phase One: get Bella in bed and asleep. I was pretty sure that it would not take me long to get her to sleep because she is always tired when she gets home from Alice's excursions.
"Bella, love, are you tired?" I asked in hope that she would say yes and jump in bed so I could get this started. But she decided to give me a different answer.
"Nope." She said with a smile on her face as she began to yawn. I just laughed to myself and knew that it wouldn't be long before she was deeply asleep.
So we talked for the next fifteen minutes or so about her day and different wedding plans that Alice had come up with. I asked her about Seattle and the food I would have to pretend to eat during my wedding. As long as Bella enjoyed her human food that was all that mattered to me. I discreetly tried to ask about what she bought during the shopping part of the day. But she caught me before I learned of the mystery items, and cut me off before I could ask anything else of the sort. After that little escapade Bella decided to move from my lap, she wanted to make it look like she was protesting the question. I knew that her real reason was that she wanted to settle into bed. I suggested that she should lie down and try to get some sleep. Maybe that would get her to fall asleep sooner. Then I remembered another person that I would have to worry about, Charlie.
Just as I thought about keeping Charlie asleep I heard his footsteps walking towards Bella's room. He was thinking about checking on Bella before heading off to bed, and I knew I had to hide quickly. As I made my way into her closet I heard a soft knock on the door.
"Come in Char..Dad." Bella said as she sounded half asleep.
"Hey, Bells." Charlie said, with a look of worry on his face. His thoughts of Bella and I popped into my head. Although I act as if I don't like Edward I've realized that he was the best thing to happen to her. I know that this will work out for them, no matter what complications they have. They have one of the strongest bonds I have ever seen for two teenagers. It's almost inhuman. I laughed to my self as he said the inhuman part, I could see Bella chuckle the minute he said that. If only he really knew.
"Hey, Dad."
"You're still up?" Charlie sounded concerned when he said that.
"I just got out of the shower fifteen minutes ago. Thanks to Alice I also have thousands of Wedding plans running through my head, and I was thinking about how everything is going to change in the next couple of weeks." Charlie's thoughts immediately changed when Bella mentioned the wedding. He was remembering a much younger Bella. Memories of Bella as a baby, of Bella's last Christmas before Renee left. Memories of how different she was when she first got here. The images in his head were pleasant to see and they made me smile. Bella had always been beautiful, even as a child. Yet she still couldn't see herself clearly. He then decided that it was now or never, if he wanted to tell Bella what he came here to say.
"Bells," He sighed. "I just want you to know that even though I might now show it, I really am proud of you. I know that everything will work out between you and Edward." He stated as he walked over and gave Bella a hug. Since he was a man of few words I knew that, those words would mean a lot to Bella.
"Thanks Dad." She said with a smile on her face. "I know that this will work out for us, I just have this feeling."
"I know Bells, I know. I just wanted to let you know that I just give him the cold shoulder because I want to make sure that he is good enough for you."
"Thanks again Dad. I'm really not worried, I'm excited more then anything."
"'Kay, G'night."
"Night Dad."
Bella POV
Edward ran away from me, at first I was confused but then I heard the knock on my door and realized that Edward heard Charlie coming. He was probably now hiding in my closet until Charlie went away.
Charlie wasn't the kind of person to express himself so when he told me those few words it meant a lot to me and brought a smile to my face. Once he left I really was tired, I was starting to nod off but I didn't want to sleep. I wanted to spend more time with Edward.
"Love, you look tired." He said with true concern on his face.
"I'm fine." I said, as I tried to fight the sleep that was overtaking me. He saw this and got up to turn the lights off. Within a blink of an eye he was back with his arms around me. I was then ready to settle into a long nights slumber.
"I love you." He stated, and I smiled.
"I love you too. I can't wait to be your wife." I said in between yawns, and I let the impending sleep takeover. That night, like many others, I dreamt of Edward Cullen my fiancé.
Edward POV
When Charlie left I made my way back over to Bella, who looked like she was about to pass out. I told her about Charlie's memories and she blushed as I told her she was a cute baby. After we talked a bit longer I saw that it was quarter to eleven and Bella was fighting to keep her eyes open. I thought now would be a good time to convince her to get some sleep.
"Love, you look tired."
"I'm fine." She said, fighting to get every word out without letting sleep overcome her. I took matters into my own hands. I got up and turned her lights off, then tucked her in, and made sure that she was warm. Once she was I curled up beside her.
"I love you." I said and gave her one final kiss before she fell asleep.
"I love you too. I can't wait to be your wife." She said in between yawns. Even though she said it between yawns it still was my favorite thing to hear.
Once she was asleep it was time for Phase two of the obliteration of the rusty hunk of metal. Phase two: get everyone over here silently and get the truck taken apart.
Let Phase two commence.
How will this all pan out?? Reviews would be nice, they make me want to update sooner!!!
Do you guys want Bella to have the Mercedes Guardian, or should she have a new car like a Range Rover, or a Hybrid Escalade? Im not sure wich direction to go, so if you review and let me know that will be a great help.
XOXO~Tiffani
