Chapter 9
Surprise
Last Time: Edward kissed my forehead, "I'll be right backā¦"
Bella POV
He rushed out of the room, returning minutes later with a tray of delicious foods. The plate was filled with cereal, toast, fruits, jams, and jellies. Edward handed me the serving plate, a wide smile playing on his face.
I returned his smile, "Yummy! Thank you!"
"It was nothing, love," Edward said to me planting a kiss on each one of my rosy cheeks.
I finished my breakfast in a hurry, emptying my tray.
"Wow," Edward laughed.
I stuck my tongue out at him, "I was hungry," I defended myself.
Edward crawled beside me, placing both hands on either side of my face, "I love you," he told me, "for eternity."
This thought immediately comforted me. I still didn't know why this perfect beautiful god-like creature chose to stay with me; yet every time he told me he loved me, it felt almost true.
I leaned in, our lips connecting.
Just then I heard a loud and shrill "Ahem," in the doorway, ruining my definition of a perfect moment.
Without taking his eyes off me, Edward responded, "Hello Alice."
I jumped off the bed suddenly, "Alice!" I cried, stumbling into her arms.
Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme, and Rosalie entered the room in single file. "Hello!" I greeted everyone.
I heard various recognitions from my family.
Alice stood in the room, beaming from one ear to the other.
"What's up Alice?" I asked hesitantly, looking around to face Edward.
"Why is she so happy?" I questioned him. Edward shrugged but I noticed a slight eye contact with Alice and a minor shake of his head.
"I can tell something is going on," I complained to him, "you might as well just tell me or Alice will." Edward turned towards me, looking into my eyes. I didn't break the eye contact; He was keeping something from me, and I wanted to know what.
"Alice has planned a honeymoon," Edward stated emotionlessly.
My throat closed up; I could feel my mouth involuntarily drop open. I was at a loss for words. I continued to stare into Edward's eyes, not wanting to believe him.
A mess of words escaped my mouth. I rephrased myself, "What?!" I shouted at them both.
"Oh Bella, don't be mad, you'll thank me later I promise!" Alice rushed to my side soothingly rubbing my arm.
"Why didn't anyone tell me?" I complained, frustrated.
"I knew you would have protested. You wouldn't have let me!" I couldn't argue with Alice, she was right after all. "You're just going to love the Caribbean!"
"The Caribbean?! But Alice, Edward can't be in the sun!" What was she thinking?
Alice laughed at the sight of my worried face, "Bella, I had a house built on an inhibited island." As if this was the easiest and most usual thing in the world.
"Alice! I can't let you spend that much!" I cried.
"It's already been done." Alice argued, "Besides, you're both going to have so much fun."
Edward took my hand, "So," he started, "Are you ready for our honeymoon?"
