Chapter
nine
Bella's POV:
Edward pulled me into the limo and sat me on his lap. He must have notified the driver ahead of time as to where we'd be going.
I snuggled up to his chest as he stroked my hair. I've never felt happier than right now. I was sitting here, in a limousine, with my husband, in the Bahamas, on our honeymoon. This was perfect. Absolutely perfect.
We arrived in front of the Four Seasons and the concierge took our bags as Edward checked us in. Only with the Cullen's would you be staying in the honeymoon suite at a luxurious five-star hotel.
The concierge led us to our room and Edward quickly closed the door behind him.
"Do you like it?" he asked.
How could I not like it? This was perfect! "I love it!" I said as he scooped me up into his arms and opened the door to the balcony. He sat down with me in his lap and we stared out at the ocean. It was like crystal, perfectly blue and so clear you could see all the coral and fish below the surface.
Edward's POV:
Wow. I'm impressed. Carlisle and Esme chose a great hotel.
As I sat there, with Bella on my lap, it just felt so right. Bella and I were meant to be together. I was supposed to find her in Forks, where I was still a lonely, depressed vampire stuck in a house of vampires that were all coupled off, and turn her fragile body into one of us. I don't know what I was afraid of before, Bella didn't lose a bit of her soul. If anything, her kindness and warmness were just intensified in the transformation.
"Bella, let's go for a walk," I said as I helped her to her feet.
"But it's…sunny…," she said, a thoroughly confused look on her face.
"I know, I know, I have a special place I want to show you," I said as I took her hand and led her to the door. We walked out behind the hotel, in the shadows, and then quickly ran through into a small wooded area. After about five minutes, we emerged onto a vacant sunbathed beach. It was perfectly hidden from the outside world; we were safe to let ourselves glitter in the sun without giving out our secret.
Bella immediately went to feel the water. I stayed on the sand and watched her roll up her pants to her knees and splash around. She got out of the water and ran over to me and grabbed my hands.
"Come in!" she begged.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming," I said as I slipped my shirt over my head and pulled off my pants. This was much more efficient than just rolling up my pants, and who's going to see?
"Good idea," she said as she stripped down to her undergarments.
I grabbed her hand and we walked into the water together. It was warm and felt incredibly pleasant to my skin. I pulled Bella close to me and she ran her fingers through my hair. I did the same to her but left my arms around her neck and pulled her face closer to mine. I traced her lips with my trembling hand and pulled her chin up so I could reach my mouth to hers. I kissed her softly; gently stroking her hair, until my need for her deepened and pulled her closer, so that she was flat against my chest and let my hands tangle in her hair. My lips moved more rapidly and she let my tongue explore her mouth. When we finally broke apart we were both breathless and we stared into each other's eyes.
"I love you, Isabella Cullen," I whispered into her ear. I did love her. More than anything.
"I love you too, Edward Cullen,"
It was now twilight, so I carried Bella out of the water and onto the beach.
"It's getting dark, it's safe for us to go back into town," I said as I took her hand and led her back through the trees.
Bella's POV:
Edward led me back to the hotel, where I changed into an orange beaded halter top and a denim mini skirt paired with some espadrille wedges. Edward wore a pair of destructed jeans with a vintage band t-shirt and a pair of flip flops.
We walked out of the hotel and looked like a pair of movie stars. Our pale skin reflected the glow of all the lights in the city and people stopped to stare. We paid them no attention, though, and continued walking down the boardwalk. We stopped into a few shops where Edward insisted on buying me some souvenirs. He bought a couple things to bring home to his family, and we kept walking hand in hand, up and down the streets.
Edward stopped to toss some money into the open guitar case of a man performing on the sidewalk. I guess he had a soft spot for struggling musicians.
We sat on a bench across from the beach to people-watch. It must have been at least midnight, and the city was as vibrant as ever. Lights illuminated the night sky and you could hear the music playing in different restaurants over the faint sound of the crashing waves. I snuggled into Edward's side and he was right; sitting in his arms, in the center of all this excitement, this was paradise.
I might update later tonight, but i'm going to the mall with my mom now and god knows when we'll be back. and I have a lot of homework...
