The flowers smell amazing. I don't even need to hold one to my nose to smell it, like a human does. I Just walk into the living room and the smell hits me. Alice had decided the flower arrangements, well there isn't anything in this wedding that Alice hasn't given her opinion on. I have to say though, she does always make the right decisions, this room smells glorious. I always like to have flowers in the house, and bless Carlisle, every Friday he comes home with a beautiful bouquet.

I could feel every grain of sand as they found their way between my toes. The sun beating down form the clear sky, warmed my face and caused all my exposed skin to glisten and shimmer in the light.

"Your so beautiful in the sunlight" he whispered into my ear as he took my hand and placed a gentle kiss on my exposed shoulder. His lips were warm. The arms I longed to always be in snaked their way around my waist and I felt his nose nestle into my neck.

"I've forgotten how much I love this island. The smells. The feeling of sunlight on your skin. The silence, well as close to silence as we can hear" he chuckled softly into my ear.

"Well it is a lot quieter without the kids here." At that moment the sea washed up to cover our feet in salty water. It was warm, but I knew it would now take me ages to get the sand out between my toes. While I was staring at my feet considering the best method to remove the wet sand, Carlisle swung me up into his arms and gently cradled me against his chest. My head rested against the place where his silent heart belonged and he ran us to the house nestled at the mouth of the rainforest.

The house was ex actually as I remember it. Fashioned in the same way all our homes have been, white walls, clean lines and glass to bring in the light. It had been cleaned recently and I could smell the faint scent of bleach from one of the bathrooms.

"Why don't we check out the master bedroom my love?" Carlisle asked over my shoulder and his finger traced circles over my stomach. I knew what that meant, it was our, not so subtle signal when they were at home. I smiled to myself and placed my hand over Carlisle's, leaning back into him pressing myself into his firm chest.

"I think that would be a good idea" I mused playing with the wedding ring on his finger. So hand in hand we walked to the big white bed.

Most of that evening passed in the same way, tangled up together like two parts of the same bit of string, moving in unison, as one.

I began to realise time and life continuing some time before dawn. I lay in the most perfect place ever in existence, within Carlisle's arms holding me close to him. I could feel him pressing soft kisses into my should blades and I reached for his hand at my waist. I quickly turned over to face him, I stared deeply into his amber eyes then placed a soft kiss on his lips.

"Happy Anniversary Love"

I had said this with our noses still touching and Carlisle quickly pulled me in for another glorious kiss.

The sun beamed through the parted curtains lighting up the white room. I felt my heart sink as I found my self alone in the big bed. How had I not noticed Carlisle leave? I sat up to try and peer into the bathroom, but he wasn't there. Reaching over the bed to retrieve my phone I felt a piece of paper creasing under my arm.

My love,

I have gone for a quick hunt, I dint want to disturb you when I left, you seemed lost in your won world. I will try not to be long.

Remember I love you.

I decided to use the time alone to my advantage. I'm sure they found it kinda awkward but Bella, Rose and Alice agreed to go lingerie shopping with me before Carlisle and I left. With their advice I picked out a few things that Carlisle would like. However now I was faced with the decision of which one to wear now. Should I go cute in baby pink and frills or sultry and sexy in black with red lace trim? While I was still considering the advantages of both I lay each out on the end of the double bed and walked through the double doors into the bright sunlight. I felt so free being able to be outside in the mid day sun. I watched as my skin sparkled as I played with the three rings on my finger, three of the four things in my life that will always remain the same, the other being my love for Carlisle. Once I got to the shore line I lay down in the sand a watched the few clouds drift by in the sky. While giggling to myself from seeing the clouds form funny shapes I saw something shinning in my right peripheral vision. By the time I had turned my head to see what it was Carlisle was standing above me.

"Don't you look gorgeous lying in the sand like that" his mouth stretching into a wide smile causing the skin around his lips to radiate in all directions.

"I didn't realise you had gone"

"you were watching the sunrise through the French doors, I did kiss you goodbye but you were lost in your head." he joined me in the sand and wrapped his arm around my waist as I leaned my head above his still heart.

"I'm sorry" I spoke into his chest.

"It's alright my love, we all get caught up in our own thoughts. I picked you some flowers while I was hunting, I believe they are called red carla lilies." he reached next to him on the sand and I sat up as he passed me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers I've ever received. "Happy anniversary, I love you."

"Thank you Carlisle, they are beautiful. I love you too." I leaned in for a kiss and he took my face in his soft hands and it felt like he was trying to kiss the life out of me.

After a short while our lips parted. " I have a present for you as well" I giggled and took his hand as I rose to my feet.

"well it must be good by the look on your face."

"oh trust me its good, really good. Your going to love it!"

I re-arranged the vase of red carla lilies on the piano. We always have some in the house now. And anyway red is part of the wedding theme.
