Who knew college could be so much fun Chapter 11, a twilight fanfic

My head was not here right now. My mind and heart were somewhere off in the woods chasing a deer, or a bear, or both for all I knew. Alice huffed in frustration, which brought me back to the present, she was bent forward, her small hands gripped around at least 5 different dresses. Her bottom lip had jutted out and her eyes were wide and pleading.

I groaned. "Alice, please, don't do this to me."

She made a little whimpering noise and my resolve crumbled.

"Fine, I'll wear one, but you pick."

The loud squeal of joy that bubbled past her lips had me covering my ears. Alice hopped up and tugged me off toward the bathroom. "We have to get to work, right now. You're meeting Edward outsideat eight. It's 7:15 now. Come on!" She squealed again, tugging me to the large bathroom.

Out of nowhere Rose appeared in the bathroom. "Rose when did you get here?" I asked curious. "I've got here during Alice's tirade of your closet." She giggled at me. "Rosalie, you get to work on her hair and make-up while I get her clothes ready." Alice instructed, sitting me down on a chair.

Rose nodded and grinned at me, grabbing my curling iron, once it was hot enough, she attacked my hair. "I hope Edward doesn't take you dancing, with you and your balance issues it might not be very safe expectably knowing Alice's choice in footwear."

I rolled my eyes. "Gee, thanks, Rose. I just don't want to make a fool of myself, but I do it everyday."

Rose put the curling iron on the bench and leaned forward so that her head was resting on my shoulder, we were looking at each other in the mirror. "Don't say that about yourself, Bella. You honestly don't see how incredibly beautiful and wonderful you are."

I scoffed. "Yeah right. I'm ordinary, Rose."

She sighed and went back to curling my hair. "You'll believe me one day, you're anything but ordinary."

After a few more minutes of curling, my hair was done, and Rose then went to work on my make-up. Alice danced in a while later, adding the finishing touches to my hair. They didn't give me a chance to look in the mirror afterwards because Alice was tugging me down to my bedroom; she pushed me in and with a quick demand of. "Put them on." She was gone again.

I shook my head with a smile at my two best friends, I loved them to death but sometimes I wondered why they wasted their time with me. I looked down at my bed and choked on my intake of breath.

"Put them on!" Alice shouted from the bathroom.

Evil little pixie.

I walked over to the bed and shimmied out of my clothes. Oh good, God.

"Alice…" I called in warning.

"Don't argue with me, Bella. Put them on. You'll thank me for it later."

I groaned in defeat and reached for the lacy, midnight blue bra and boy short set. Once they were on I slipped the black, halter neck cocktail dress over my head. I rolled my eyes at her choice of shoes. Crap, Rose was right, I'm going to die in these.

"Alice, do you really think putting me in stilettos is a good idea?"

"Bella…" She growled from the bathroom. "Put. Them. On."

Alice could get scary sometimes.

I surrendered with a sigh and slipped the black heels on my feet. I stood up and walked to the full-length mirror on my wall and took in my appearance.

I had to admit.

I looked pretty sexy.

It was almost 8. I'm sitting out by the car waiting for Alice to finish getting Bella dressed. I have planed a nice night for us, just a night to relax and get to be only Bella and Edward. It feels like we haven't had time to just stop and be husband and wife since the honeymoon. With us leaving for forks next week for thanksgiving I figured now was a good time to be alone.

The garage door slowly swung open and Bella, in what can be described as one of the most sinful outfits, stepped out.

"Love, you look beautiful." I said pulling her in the cradle of my arms. Laying my face in her hair and breathing in her wonderful scent. "I've missed you these few hours"

She looked up into my eyes with those penetrating chocolate brown eyes and said, "I missed you too, and oh by the way you are to hold on to me the whole night. Alice put me in shoes that are a death trap, and I would love to live to see my father at thanksgiving." Trying to keep my laughter suppressed. "I think I can manage not letting you go the whole night." I said pressing a kiss to her forehead.

"Get going Edward or you'll be late." Alice was thinking inside.

I helped Bella get into the car and set out for our destination.

As I pulled off on a side road leading away from town, I watched as Bella's eyes widen with shock.

"Where are…" she asked a little bit confused as she looked around.

"Wait a minute." I pulled over next to a wide meadow lit with small solar lights; they were all centered on a small two-person table.

"So beautiful" she whispered starting to get out of the car. I rushed over to her door and helped her out.

We walked over to the table and I pulled her seat out. I kissed her neck as I walk over to the picnic basket with Bella's food.

"I thought you said we were going to a restaurant." She said arcing her beautiful eyebrow at me

"Well technically the restaurant came to us." I told her giving her my biggest smile. "MMM smells so good" she said looking at the pasta I had brought her. I sat down turning on my Ipod and speakers, putting some music on.

I sat and watched the beautiful creature in front of me eat her meal and take in her surrounding. I have to say I was a little disappointed when we first got married and we made love. I figure after an act of such love and intimacy her thoughts might be revealed to me, no such luck. I can always see the love in her eyes, her questions in her face, her attitude in her lips, and her desire in her voice. But after so long of hearing others thoughts, I just can't get used to not hearing.

"So Mr. Cullen, not that I mind, but what is with the venue?" she asked taking one last bite.

"Well Mrs. Cullen there is supposed to be a meteor shower tonight and I figured we would camp out here tonight and watch." I told her.

I could see the signs of apprehension in her face. "Love, don't worry I have a tent and two person sleeping bag in the trunk. Plus a battery operated space heater incase you get cold." I could see her start to smile.

"Really? We can stay out here all alone tonight?" she asked with a wicked smirk.

"God, Bella you will be the death of me." I said smiling, her smirk got even wider.

The music started a prefect song and I closed my eyes. I had, in fact, heard this song before, though I have no idea how Alice had managed to get the song so fast. It was quite new. "Bella come dance with me" I pulled her up in to my arms. She reached down and pulled her shoes off and danced with me.

Remember those walls I built
Well baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

My eyes caught Bella's and my hands gripped her closer to me as she mouthed, "I love you."

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

I mouthed it back to her, "I love you too," and we both smiled and rocked to the music.

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo

Every word of this song seemed to fit. Edward was my angel, my saving grace in more ways than one.

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me to the ground again

I had no idea how I had managed to find him. But I knew I'd never let him go.

Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out

My angel was smiling at me and I smiled back at him with all the love I could muster in this small human body of mine.

I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo)

And with his eyes on me as the music swirled around us, I suddenly at peace. Nothing need to be rushed, no one was around, I got to be with my one true love till the end of time and that was the best thing ever.

I could feel the love surrounding us, enveloping us in its warmth and I knew everyone in this world had to feel it.

I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo

I looked up to Edward again and I'm sure both our smiles were blinding as he pulled me even closer to him gently. "I love you Bella Cullen. You're mine forever."

"Forever," I whispered as his lips descended down upon mine.

________________________________________________________________

I stood back and watched Edward expertly assemble our tent; he then laid the sleeping bag outside it so we could look up at the shower.

He lay down on the bag and pulled me down to him. I snuggled in closer and whispered, "I love you Edward."

He brushed my hair with a kiss and pulled me tighter to him. "I love you too Bella."

I sighed and breathed in his scent. He smelled so good. His skin. I loved it. I always felt so safe and secure in his arms, something I hadn't felt before I met him.

It was hard to go from a small town to a huge city and school. I had always been shy and somewhat timid, but being out here in a way had hardened me and broke me out of my shell. And I learned that if I wanted something I was going to have to speak up to get it. Thus the new, improved Bella Swan emerged; tough and tenacious and a bit of a smart ass, but there you go. That was the new me. And apparently, Edward liked that. No. He loved that. And I loved him.

I never noticed that I fell asleep never seeing the meteor shower, but just being in Edward's arms was enough.
