Edward and I ran after Alec and Jane in the park, stopping when they reached the swings giggling. I was panting by the time I got over there. I looked to my left to see Edward breathing normally, even though he ran faster than I did. I shook my head. Unbelievable.
It was Alec and Jane's last day here in Arizona. Soon, they will be going back to Michigan where they lived all there lives'. I hate to admit it, but…I'm going to miss them. Even though they have been a huge pain in my ass pretty much my whole life, I am going to miss them.
"So Edward." I started as I pushed Alec on the swing and Edward pushed Jane.
"Hmm?" He said as if I pulled him out of a thought.
"When are we going to Alice's wedding?" I asked excitedly. I was really excited to finally meet Alice. We have been talking on the phone for the last couple of days, and she seemed like a great person. Surprisingly, my mom and dad took the news of the trip quite well. My mom even offered to take me shopping for the wedding. I declined right away. I promised Alice that she could do it.
"In two days." He said quietly. Two days? That's it?
"Two?"
He nodded. "Two."
I shrugged. "That's fine. I can't wait."
After the twins got tired of the swings, they were hungry. Of course they were. I thought. So. We bought hot dogs from Coney Island that was right down the street. I sat in the booth across from Edward alone, while the twins squeezed themselves on either side of him. He just laughed and tried to make more space for them.
"Are you sure you don't mind going in two days?" Edward asked over the twins giggles.
I looked into his green eyes, getting lost in them. He cleared his throat, making me focus on the question. "Uh…" My face turned bright red. "What was the question again?"
He laughed, as did the twins. I'm pretty sure the twins were just laughing because Edward was laughing. I couldn't help but smile at the three of them.
As soon as Edward stopped laughing, he said his question again. "I said are you sure you don't mind going in two days?"
"No! Not at all! I am so excited to meet your family!" I exclaimed, bouncing up and down in the booth. Edward laughed and helped Jane open the ketchup for her fries.
Once Edward opened it, he popped a fry into his mouth. "My family is not very exciting."
I gaped at him. "That's not what I heard."
"Oh?" He asked. "And what did you hear?"
I tried to hide my smile, and answered, "That Alice is one heck of a woman, of course, from Jasper, and that Emmett is a lame-o-"
Edward laughed at the childish name. I quickly defended myself. "Hey! That was Alice's words. Not mine."
He just chuckled. "Sure they were, Bella."
Jane piped up, "Yeah! Sure they were, Ella!"
I laughed and ruffled her hair while stealing a fry. After we finished eating, we headed home to say our goodbyes.
"Bye, Aunt Lilly. I'm going to miss you." I said as I hugged her. She pulled me back arms length.
"I will miss you too, Bella." She then whispered into my ear. "Hold onto him. Don't let him go."
I smiled and nodded. I wasn't surprised that Aunt Lilly loves Edward. Who doesn't? Even the disaster twins and the ruler of love, (My mom) loves him.
Alec was next to say goodbye to me. He ran up and hugged me as tight as he could. "Bye, Ella."
I rubbed his back. "Bye Alec. Be good, okay?" He just nodded and ran off to say goodbye to Edward.
After saying goodbye to everyone, me and Edward went to go pack. Sure, it was two days early, but I like to get things done and out of the way. I didn't have a lot of things to pack up, only two suitcases full. Edward had one tiny one, filled only half-way. I guess he didn't bring a lot of clothes with him to Vegas. I mean, I didn't either.
As I was watching Edward and Charlie talk about sports at dinner, I couldn't help but think. What are we now? Real husband and wife? Or just a couple that eloped drunk in Vegas? I couldn't help the sadness the clouded over me at the last thought. I realized then, that I wanted to be 'that' couple with Edward. You know, the couple that is married and is happy for the rest of there lives'. The couple that everyone looks at and wishes they had that too.
Does Edward feel the same? I could only hope.
