Chapter 11

BPOV

Alice and Rose helped me pack some stuff. They said that I didn't need much, that they planned on taking me shopping.

We left Edward's house stopping along the way to both Rose and Alice's houses. We stopped at Alice's last. She took the longest to pack.

Finally at ten o'clock, Alice's cell phone rang.

"Okay, thanks we will be out in just a minute," she said into her phone.

"Girls, Dave is here to take us to the airport. You all ready to go to our guys?"

Rose and I nodded our heads to Alice. We exited Alice's house and sitting there in the front was a limo. I've seen them but never rode in one before. Edward knew how to impress that's for sure.

Once we got to the limo, the driver loaded our bags. When done he asked if we're ready to go.

There was a mini bar so I fixed myself a drink and the girls one as well.

I was scared of heights. I just wanted a little something to take the edge off.

Finally pulling up to the airport thirty-five minutes later. Dave opened our door then went and got a luggage cart.

Dave loaded our luggage and also told us to have a good time. Once he was finished I tried to give him a tip, but he said no that has taken care of it.

Leave it to Edward to think of everything.

I loved that he loved taking care of me. At the same time I was getting annoyed that Edward was not letting me take care of any of this trip.

I am going to tell him a thing or two when I see him. I have my own money and I am an independent woman. I don't need a man to take care of me.

He will just have to learn that one.

Alice could tell I was getting annoyed and I knew she was just about to say something.

"Bella, stop over analyzing everything. Edward likes to take care of things. He always has, so just let him. You can still be the independent woman, that you are and have Edward do things for you. So don't think about going off on him," she said as we walked to the ticket counter.

We told them our names and the woman handed us our tickets and proceeded to check in our luggage. Then she directed us to our gate.

I happened to look down at the ticket, and I could feel my anger rising.

First of all, the ticket was for first class and secondly, the ticket was to the Caribbean.

I totally forgot that is where he was, these tickets were way too expensive. I was definitely going to have words with Edward Cullen when I saw him.

I don't care what Alice said, I am going to say something to him. I don't care how much he wants to take care of me, this was too much.

"Bella," Rose said as we went to board the plane.

"Yeah."

"Just go with it, trust me. Edward has never done this for anyone. You are special to him. Don't do anything that you will regret."

"What does that mean, Rose?" I asked as we took our seats.

"It means that Edward isn't at all what you see in the tabloids. He's kind, gentle and loving. He's not the overly confident prick, you sometimes see in the media. He's more of the shy guy, who likes to do big things for those he cares about. And Bella, if you haven't figured it out yet that boy is pretty smitten with you. But don't you worry, I told him he better not hurt you or I will kick his ass."

"Rosalie, we are friends. Nothing more."

"Yeah," she said, "What about that hickey before he left, Bella? Friends usually don't give each other hickey's."

Damn, the girl did have a point.

"Yeah, Bella keep telling yourself that you two are just friends. We all can tell that you love him but you have to see it for yourself and he loves you as well," Alice said.

I didn't have a comeback for that, so I just turned to stare out the window. Knowing that there was some truth to what Alice said. At least on my part, I know that I am in love with Edward.

But I am afraid to really admit it to myself, because what if he didn't feel the same.

We pretty much sat quietly for the rest of the flight. I needed to get my mind cleared before meeting up with Edward. Maybe I should just come out and tell him but what if he does not feel the same for me? That would ruin the friendship that we have. I could not lose him. He has been there for me like nobody has ever done for me before.

I do love Edward Cullen with all my heart but I'm just scared that he will not feel the same way for me. I mean he's hardly ever home. How would a long distance relationship work anyway?

Just see him when he's home once every three or four months. That's not a relationship. I mean he did say that he would be home for over a year once this tour was done. But what would happen after that?

Rose snapped her fingers in front of my face.

"Bella what is wrong with you? I have been calling your name for the past few minutes and you have just sat there and stared off into space. We are getting ready to land sweetie. You need to put your seatbelt on."

"Oh thanks Rose. I guess I was just thinking that's all. I have a lot on my mind. What time is it?"

"It's right at 6:30. We should be landing soon," said Alice.

"Alright do you know who is picking us up?"

"Edward is suppose to pick you up and Em and Jasper will be there as well but they don't know that Rose and I are coming. We are surprising them but Edward got them driving different vehicles so that we all could have some privacy."

I suddenly felt really nervous, like I was meeting him for the first time. What is with that for fucks sake. We've shared the same bed, we've made out twice. Hell, this is crazy. I shouldn't be nervous, at all.

The plane touched down and we got up to leave the plane and I could swear that you could hear my heart beating out of my chest.

Alice grabbed my hand as we were walking.

"Bella, it will be fine. Take a deep breath and remember it's just Edward."

I smiled and said nothing.

EPOV

I woke up this morning really early. Our show last night didn't get over with until after

one am. I didn't get in bed until after two and set my alarm for five am. I wanted to make sure that I was up in time to get to the airport. I needed to have my baby in my arms again.

I'm so in love with Bella. I wanted to tell her but I'm scared that she won't feel the same. If I told her and she didn't feel the same way that it could maybe strain our relationship. Plus if she didn't feel the same way that I would lose her and I couldn't have that. If friendship was all it was meant to be then I would take it, I could not have her in my life.

I pulled into a parking spot and looked at my watch. Em and Jasper are suppose to meet me at 6:45 am at the girls gate. I hope that they like the surprise I had for them. It was not very often that they could go with them.

I walked in the airport and walked to the board to see if their flight was on time. It said that their arrival time was seven on the nose. I walked to their gate and Em and Jasper were already there.

"So Edward are you ready to see your girl? I mean we all know that you love her you just haven't admitted to everyone. I have news for you man she loves you too. When are you two going to stop beating around the bush and just be together?" Jasper asked.

"You're right Jasper I do love her but I could not stand to lose her if she said that she didn't have the same feelings for me. If friendship is all I can have, then that's fine with me."

I could tell he wanted to say something back but I looked up and I saw all the girls. I kept my eyes on Bella and once I got closer she ran to me and jumped into my arms. I knew that's why Jasper did not say anything because he saw Alice.

I hugged her tight to me and whispered in her ear, "Baby I have missed you so much."

"I missed you too Edward."

Before she could start to talk I crushed my lips to hers. I heard her moan. She licked my bottom lip and I granted her entrance.

This time it was my turn to moan. I could feel my cock tighten in my pants because she was rocking her hips into it.

It felt so good the friction she was making. I knew that I needed to pull away before we got out of hand right here in the middle of the airport. Bella was going to be the death of me.

We walked over to the rest of them.

"So guys, Bella and I are going to get some breakfast would you care to joins us?"

"Yeah," boomed Emmett.

He could never turn down food. I went to the luggage claim and got Bella's bags. She only had two and I knew Alice and Rose would change that in the near future. Those girls could shop.

We went and ate breakfast and we all just talked about anything of importance. Once we finished I could tell that Bella was getting tired.

"Baby why don't we got back to the hotel and you can shower and rest some?"

"That sounds nice I'm in need of a shower. The plane ride was long and I think my body could use a hot shower to relax me. I will only take a nap if you will lay with me."

"I like the sound of that sweetheart. Tonight I want to take you out to dinner just the two of us. Is that ok with you?"

"Yes let's go so I can get in the shower."

We drove back to the hotel. Bella was very quiet.

"Baby, what's wrong? Why are you being so quiet over there?"

"Alice told me not to say anything but I just can't seem to let it go. So why did you buy such expensive tickets for us to get here and why didn't you let me help pay for any of it? Edward it's not like I couldn't afford to pay for some of it. Then you had a limo come and pick us up and I tried to tip him and he said that you already taken care of it."

"Listen baby, I have never wanted to take care of someone before and with you I actually want to.I love that I can take care of you and I want to. Please let me? You should not have to pay for it since it was me that asked you to come and be with me."

"I understand that Edward but I make okay money, I just wish you would let me pay for some stuff. I like that I can be independent and pay for my stuff."

"How about this sweetheart? I will let you go shopping with the girls and I will not pay for anything that you buy, even though I would if you would let me. Just promise that you will not look at the price and not buy it because you feel like you can't afford it. Buy what you want and don't look back okay baby."

"I will try Edward but it will be hard. I may have money and I do watch what I spend. I'm not as wealthy as Emmett, Jasper and you are. I can buy whatever I want, but I still have to watch what I do because I have bills to pay, and sometimes I don't do as many jobs. So I have to stretch out my money, more than other people do."

"Baby, if it ever came to where you had to pick and choose which bills to pay, I would make sure that everything was taken care of. Please just let me do it. I love that I can spend money on you. I have never done this before and I actually enjoy doing it."

"Thank you my Edward. I'm so thankful that I have you to care for me. I have never had someone treat me like that before. It means alot to me."

Finally we pulled up to the hotel. I went to the desk and asked for another key and told them Bella's name so that she could get whatever she wanted to with no questions asked.

"Bella I'm going to run the shower for you. Why don't you get you some comfortable clothes while I do that."

"Um okay. Edward do you have a t-shirt hear that I could wear?"

"Yeah there should be one in the drawer. I take it that you have been wearing mine at the house as well?"

"Yes and when you get home you will have to wear them again so that they will smell like you. That's the only thing that puts me to sleep and your pillow that you will definitely have to sleep on again."

I just laughed. Bella did not know but I took one of her shirts that she had worn and I think I will have to change the shirts out. It made me happy that she felt comfortable wearing my clothes. I knew that she wears my boxer briefs as well.

She finally got done and came and joined me in the bed. She walked towards me in my t-shirt and what looked to be some dark blue boy shorts. I had to hold back a moan.

She was going to kill me. I need to confess my feelings for her and soon. I just hope that she will have the same feelings.

"Come here sweetheart."

She climbed into bed and snuggled up to me. I placed my arm around her and kissed her neck.

"Get some rest Bella. You will need it for tonight baby."

I snuggled into Edward and held him to me.

"Mmm.. my Edward," I said as my eyes closed.
