Chapter Ten; Amazing

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses, no one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours- it is an amazing journey –and you alone are responsible for the equality of it. This is the day your life really begins."

"Welcome on board, madam," the stewardess greeted brightly, handing Bella a glass of champagne, she took it awkwardly as she stammered a reply. She led her thorough the wide aisle to her seat, "can I take your carry on luggage madam?"

"Um...thank you" she mumbled as she hands her bag to the perfectly groomed flight attendant.

Bella looked behind her to see Edward was smiling in her direction. This was Bella first time to fly in her life. She was looking at the design on the airplane seat and she touched with curiosity around her chair to feel. She knew she probably looked stupid or like a child as she touched the simplest things and looked around in awe.

Edward was kind not to say anything about her reactions.

"Can I get you anything, sir" a flirtatious blonde asked Edward.

Bella growled, they had just boarded the plane and already the flight attendants were making their move on Edward, don't they see his wedding ring on his finger, this was just great, Bella thought to herself.

"No, thank you." Edward informed with a small smile. The blonde giggled and carried on to the next customer. She didn't even realize she had skipped Bella. Bella didn't care though she just smiled in anticipation looking out the window and gave a light squeal.

Edward leaned over and showed Bella how to work the TV, she was relieved to know she would have something to do to distract herself and calm her nerves.

"Wow, they have a real TV" she exclaimed, Edward chuckled lightly.

"First time flying first class?" He asked knowingly.

"Yes, actually this is my first time flying at all." She answered as she looked over into Edward's eyes. They seemed to be locked there for an eternity but their connection was broken when they were interrupted.

"Can I interest you in something to read" and there she was again holding a bundle of magazines and newspapers in her arms. This time before Edward could acknowledge the Stewardess Bella reacts first. "Sure" she says taking the pile from her and putting it on her legs while shooting a mean look at the flight attendant.

Edward raises his eyebrow toward Bella and shakes his head as he lets out a deep sigh before leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes as he tries to collect his thoughts.

Suddenly the lights dim and the captains voice comes through the speaker as he starts going over safety procedures. Bella sighed sourly as Edward began listening to his iPod. She listens to the safety instructions on what to do in case of emergencies then lays her head back and waits for the plane to take off.

From the corner of her eye she sees Edward remove his ear buds. Finally the plane starts moving and all the nerves hit Bella full force. She can't help thinking she should have listened to the safety instructions a little more carefully.

She nervously gripped the side of her chair which caused Edward to look over at her.

"You okay?" he asked softly.

She didn't reply as the airplane slowly started lifting off the ground and into the air.

"Oh my god," she stated grabbing onto Edwards hand. She didn't know how he would react but she guessed it wouldn't matter since she immediately slammed her eyes shut.

"Please don't crash, please don't crash, please don't crash" she chatted over and over again.

Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted by someone lightly tapping her on her shoulder. She lifted her head to see Edward.

"Bella you are fine we are in the air now, its over."

Bella quickly glanced out the window to realize he was right. She gave a sigh of relief while looking at white clouds and Blue sky that stretched out in from of her.

"Um…Bella?" Edward started

"What?" she replied still looking out the window.

"Your uh..hand" He said quietly.

Bella immediately understood the situation and awkwardly let go of his hand.

"Sorry! "She mumbled embarrassed.

"It's okay." He said quietly as he started straightening out his shirt.

Bella looked back out the window this wasn't that scary actually, just the take-off, she reassured herself.

Bella turned away from the window, "how long is the flight to Los Angeles?" she asked.

Edward glanced at his watch for a second before replying, "5 hours and 45 minutes." She gave a quick nod and decided to watch the movie.

Half way through her movie the same flight attendant who had been flirting with Edward comes by serving lunch.

"Sir" she asked unprofessionally rubbing Edwards shoulder.

"Would you like the steak or the salmon?" She asked.

"Steak", Edward answered without looking at her.

"What kind of drink you would like?" the flight attendant asks bending slightly putting her cleavage on full display trying to get his attention.

"Sprite" Edward replied completely unaffected and still not looking at her.

"And what can I get for you Mrs?" she asked looking over at Bella. Bella could've sworn her voice dropped by two octaves and she knows she saw the attendant roll her eyes.

"I'll have the salmon, please." She said in her nicest tone. The attendant smiled a fake smile and served them their requested meals.

When they finished their lunch a different flight attendant came by to clear their tables. Bella breathed a sigh of relief that she did not have to see the blond bimbo again.

"Thank you." Edward said nicely, the flight attendant giggled and walked away.

Bella rolled her eyes, once again with the flirting. Where they all blind or did they not care that he is married.

Edward stretched his long legs, now clad in loose fitting sweats, he sighed and Bella only then noticed the dark circles under his beautiful eyes. She was also fairly certain that the stubble on his chin was not a fashion statement. He looked utterly exhausted.

"You should sleep Edward, you look tired." she offered smiling sweetly. Edward nodded his head and closed his eyes.

He didn't sleep last night after he and Bella arrived back to the hotel from their outing yesterday. All his thoughts were on his wife. What would her reaction to Bella be? Would she approve of her? What if she doesn't like her? He also knew Bella was nervous as well. He couldn't help ask himself why this had to happen and why he agreed to doing this in the first place. He couldn't help but feel guilty about the whole situation. Between all the guilt and stress of all the questions weighing on his mind he got very little sleep.

While Edward was asleep the blond flight attendant continued to harass them. When she made her way passed them for the third time in ten minutes Bella had enough. She took the blanket out from under the seat and covered Edwards's body with it. At the same time he moved and his head slid toward the right so Bella bravely moved her shoulder so his head could lay there. When the attendant walked passed again Bella lightly put her lips to Edwards temple and acted as if she where kissing him she then smiled at the blond. Her face was priceless and Bella couldn't help but smile excitedly.

Bella turned her attention back to the television and continued flipping through the channels. Before she knew it she was asleep as well.

"Bella," she heard someone call.

"Bella," the voice said a bit louder.

She was mystified to find herself under a blanket she snapped her head up to realize that the plane was now darker. She blinked a few times before turning to look at Edward who was looking right at her.

"What's going on?" she asked.

"We will be landing in 45 minutes, you almost slept through dinner." He informed her.

"Oh" she muttered. Now that he mentioned it, she was feeling hungry.

Edward smiled at her as he pulled out in opened package and placed it on her tray.

"Here, I went ahead and ordered for you, I don't want you to miss any meals." he said quietly.

Bella smiled at him.

"Sleep well?" he asked. Bella hid her yawn behind the blanket and nodded.

"How long did I sleep?"

"A little over two hours."

She shot up and rubbed her face. "I'm sorry I just ...closed my eyes."

"Don't apologize Bella, you were tired just eat your food." He laughed.

Just after Bella finished her dinner they heard the announcement that they would be landing in fifteen minutes.

Bella excused herself and made her way to the bathroom to make herself look more presentable for her meeting of Edwards wife. She was stressed enough as it was about what she would think of her she definitely didn't want to look tired and frumpy. She quickly washed her face and brushed her hair and teeth then slowly made her way back to her seat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we will now start our descent to Los Angeles International Airport. Please fasten your seatbelts and put the tables in upright position. Make sure your luggage is in the overhead compartment or safety tucked under your seat and all electronic equipment is turn off. The lights will be dimmed for your comfort."

Bella's nerves were back in full force again when she heard the announcement. Edward took notice of this right away and leaned over with a smile.

"You know the landing is even scarier than the take-off right?" he whispered to her.

Bella face immediately paled.

Edward on the other hand, smirked before answering "Don't worry you can hold my hand again."

Bella gladly took his extended hand and held tight while trying to control her breathing. The plane finally touched the ground after what seemed like an eternity with a slight bump then slowly came to a stop.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Los Angeles. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened as the captain taxis out airplane to the gate. For those of you, who still have a journey ahead of you, have good trip. For those that arrived at this destination, enjoy your stay. We thank you for traveling with United Airlines."

Bella finally let go of Edwards hand when they pulled into the boarding dock. They slowly made their way through the crowd and to the baggage claim for their things.

Tanya sat in the waiting area with a faint smile on her face as she witnessed the reunion of family and friends around her.

Edward had been gone on his business trip for over a month now, and this was the longest they had ever been apart. They had of course talked to each other every day when he was in New York, whether it be by phone or an email. She'd update him on her "exciting" findings and he'd keep her in the loop about his works and Bella. Hearing his voice had really made her want him to be next to her all the more.

She had just stood up to walk around the terminal for maybe the fifth time, when they announced the landing of Edwards's flight. She turned to gate B2, and waited excitedly for him to appear.

There were just so many people everywhere and then he appeared. Tanya spotted him about halfway down, holding his black luggage close looking tired, very tired.

Tanya let her eyes slide over his features, the exquisite shape of his face, the piercing green eyes, his Bronze hair in complete disarray and the lean muscles of his body.

Edwards eyes were sweeping the crowd and looking for the exit he needed to take while at the same time trying to make sure he didn't lose Bella. Finding her in crowd of the airport would not be an easy feat.

Edward didn't expect Tanya to be there. He had told her that he could take a cab back, because it would be late.

Bella was pulling her luggage behind her and glancing around at the sea of faces as she followed closely behind Edward. All of a sudden her attention was caught by a woman jogging in their direction.

Edward dropped his luggage on the floor and the woman that had been jogging jumped into his arms her honey hair bouncing around their faces as she did.

Tanya kissed him passionately; he was momentarily surprised, but quickly returned the kiss with a much force as she had.

"Edward" she whispered into his neck.

"What are you doing here?" Edward asked.

Leaning away, she gave him gentle kiss on his lips, before she could answer.

"I couldn't wait any longer to see you?" she said as her eyes started tearing up.

"I ...missed you baby." A few of her tears fell as she looked at Edward with unending love.

His smile grew. "I missed you too."

This time Edward kissed her. Tanya pulled herself away from him when his hands began roaming. Taking his hands in hers she pulled them up between the two of them, placing a kiss on each of his hands.

"You'll have to wait until later baby" Tanya whispered in his ear.

Edward growled and leaned down to kiss her again.

"You started it."

Tanya couldn't help but laugh.

"You're right, I did. And I'll finish it later." She said with a suggestive smile.

Bella stood silently watching their entire exchange. She did not want to be rude and interrupt them but something about this intimate moment made her feel off. She finally decided that a slight little cough would do the trick.

Tanya's eyes immediately shot up to hers and she seemed a little confused. Edward turned himself and Tanya to face her.

"Tanya sweetheart, this is Isabella Swan. Isabella this is my wife Tanya."

"Oh I'm sorry Bella I was distracted with my husband. I totally forgot that you were with him."

Tanya gripped Bella tightly around the waist for second and then she stood back.

"I'm so happy to finally meet you Isabella; Edward has told me so much about you."

"Edward has told me about you as well and please call me Bella." She replied with a shy smile.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Bella."

"It's nice to meet you to Tanya."

"Well shall we go? You both look exhausted."

She takes Bella hand and starts walking towards the exit. With Edwards arm around Tanya's waist and Bella's hand in hers Tanya couldn't help but smile.

Tanya looks to his husband with smile.

"I like her….thank you Edward." She mumbled into his shirt.

Edward breathed a sigh of relief and slung his bag over his shoulder as they walked out the doors. He was happy that Tanya approved of Bella.

While the three of them made their way toward the car

Bella was lost in her own thoughts. "This is my new beginning and this is a good one. My past is just that the past. I am here and I am ready to embrace my future. A new start." She thought to herself as Edward shut the passenger door for her effectively symbolizing just what her thoughts were. Closing the door on her past.
