Chapter 11-Sunshine In Paradise...Finally
READ AND REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ps I reposted chapter one I added a little bit more and fixed some more typos, feel free to go look
"It's going to be sunny on Friday." Alice announced.
Aunt Esme and Uncle Carlisle were out grocery shopping as part of our cover. They were planning on taking the food to the homeless shelter up in Seattle. The rest of us stayed at home. We decided to paint my bedroom, we were so bored.
"Hey Alice, want to go Christmas shopping? I think you said it would be cloudy in Paris this weekend." Rose reminded her.
"Yeah, great idea Rose. Bella, do you want to go too?" No way in Hell.
"I can show you next time, if you'd like." Edward whispered in my ear. His smile was mocking, he already guessed my answer.
"I'll skip it," I told Alice. She looked a little disappointed, then mouthed,
'Oh yeah, you and lover boy have plans.' I turned back to the wall, too embarrassed to say anything. I grabbed Alice's shoulder without a thought about what I was doing and projected the thought.
'Shut up! I'm already nervous without your and Emmett's comments'!' She dropped her paint brush in shock.
"I guess that means it worked." I mumbled dipping my brush into the paint.
"Bella... did you just...?" She stammered.
"Yup."
"You know I hate being out of the loop." Rose murmured.
"I can tell." Jasper mumbled back.
"I was having a little conversation with Alice I explained.
"You were- oh, sweet!" Emmett yelled catching on. I smiled and turned, to Alice.
"Are we done painting yet?"
"Yeah it looks good. C'mon Rose, let's go pack for Paris, boys are you coming too?"
"Yes Ma'am." Jasper saluted Alice, she giggled and pulled him out of the room.
"You know Emmett, Paris is very romantic." Rose whispered.
The two of them were gone with a simple
"See-ya suckers!"
"You excited?" I asked Edward.
"Maybe." He murmured. I took his hand.
'Well that makes two of us.' I pushed the thought onto him.

I checked my reflection in the minor once more. My hair was down, with my cousins gone I had been able to wear what ever I wanted. Today it was tennis shoes, jeans, and a white t-shirt under a tan sweater.
A knock came from the door.
"Bella?" A voice asked tentatively "A-are you ready?"
"Y-yeah." It opened the door to find myself face to face with an angel.
"Hey." I murmured, a smile growing on my face. He chuckled. I looked down to triple check I didn't forget anything important, like pants.
I grabbed his hand,
'What's so funny?'
"We match." I took a step back to look, he had on sneakers, jeans and a tan sweater, a white shirt was sticking out of his collar.
'You're right, we do.' He smiled.
"Ready to go?" He asked offering me his arm.
'Yeah, I'm ready'
I put my arm through his and we walked down the stairs and outside.
"Do you want to run, or drive?"
'Let's run, as long as you don't mind slowing down for me.'
"Not at all."
'I wish I could run faster, I hate making everyone slow down for me.'
"Bella, you're not that slow"
'You can run three times my speed.' He snorted.
"You're over exaggerating."
'Okay, you run twice my speed, You could probably carry me and be faster.' I said with out thinking.
"I doubt that."
'I don't,'
"Wanna bet?"
'Yes, yes I do.'
"Alright then, climb on." I hesitated for a moment, I was sure he was kidding. He wasn't.
He startled me by grabbing my hand and swinging me onto his back.
"Ready?"
'yeah.'
"Hold on." He took off though the forest like a bullet. I was right, I've never been able to reach this speed before, except when I was a newborn.
Edward stopped a minute later and helped me down.
'I win.'
"Sure you do."
'C'mon Where are we going?'
"This way." He led me through the trees, at human walking speed. "Do you see that light, over there?"
'Yeah, is that where were going?'
"Yes."
'C'mon let's go,'
"After you."
'Always the perfect gentleman.' I impatiently led the Way to the clearing and stopped dead in my track.
It was a perfectly round meadow. There were Wildflowers everywhere, reds, blues, purples, yellows and every other color. I could hear the trickling of a close by stream. It was amazingly beautiful.
'Wow.'
"You like it?"
'It's beautiful'
"I wouldn't call it beautiful, at least, not with you as comparison." I didn't know what to say to him except for a simple
'Thanks.' I laid down on the ground, pulling him with me. 'Can I... ask you a question?' "Of course."
'You seem almost paranoid today, you keep looking over your shoulder, is everything okay?"
He sighed. "Is it really that obvious?"
'Yes, not to mention the fact that you're avoiding my question.'
"I got a phone call from Alice this morning, she sounded like she was sobbing... She said that... your future... disappeared."
'I don't get it'
"Bella, she thought you were dead." He looked like he was in pain the whole time he was speaking. "It scared me."
'But why did that scare you?'
"Isabella," He caressed the side of my face with his hand. "Bella, the past one hundred years I thought that I wasn't going to find my soul mate, that I was complete in myself, but I never knew what I was-Who I was searching for until It I met you." He took a deep breath. "I love you." As he said those three little words my non-beating heart began to soar. He. Loves. Me.
"I love you more than I imagined was possible and now that I've found you it Would truly kill me to never see you again." I smiled and said out loud,
"I need you too." I sat up before allowing myself to say the words I've been dying to say for the past three weeks "I love you. I truly love you... Edward promises me something,"
"Of course."
"Promise you'll neverleave me"
"I Edward Anthony Masen Cullen swear on my existence never to leave you, I love you Isabella Marie Swan-I truly truly do."
He leaned his face in toward mine-and in that moment the truth in my words was overwhelming. That this was my life, he was my life, and I will never survive without him.
He pressed his lips very gently to mine and an electric like current flew through me, but it wasn't painful, it was Heaven. His lips were against mine, urgently, and I couldn't get enough of him fast enough I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. As I knotted my hands in his hair he pulled me into his lap I gasped in shock, and he smiled against my lips and a shiver ran down my spine. He shocked me when he ran his tongue over my top lip, then my bottom, and I lost control. I slipped my tongue into his mouth he fell backwards into the grass, with me on top of him, but we didn't break apart, there was no need to.
"Bella," he murmured flipping us over so that he was on top of me, I couldn't feel his weight but it was almost impossible for us to be closer to each other, yet it still wasn't close enough. I pulled my hands out of his hair and slid them down to the collar of his sweater it was on the ground in pieces a few seconds later-I don't think he minded one bit, he just kissed me with even more force, as though he didn't have enough of me either. My sweater was shredded about two seconds later.
***************************************************************************
When we finally pulled apart the sun was starting to set. I laid my head on his chest.
'I love you.'
"I love you too, more than you can imagine."
'Not as much as I love you.'
"I doubt that." He murmured pressing his lips to mine once more.
They didn't ….you know, they just had a major make out/snogging session in the middle of the forest.Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
