11. Graduation...

(BPOV)

A few days later, Charlie still hadn't called. Also it was Graduation day today, at least in Rockland that is. So I thought of a surprise for Edward.

The same morning Edward went hunting and I called Alice:

- Hey, sis! I need your help! How long will Edward be gone?

- Five hours, Bella. He'll like it very much. – She said over excitedly.

- Thanks, Alice! Bye!

- Bye, Bella! Have fun! – She squeaked. I hung up in bewilderment went on to plan. First I put the CD, I had made, in the portable CD-player. That CD had most of our favorite songs, including the songs he wrote. Then I put on the dress I had borrowed from Alice. The same dress that I wore on our first and only prom two years ago. After that I put on jeans, sneakers and a little longer coat, so the dress is well hidden. Then I did my hair, following Alice's instructions, which she had sent me as an SMS, to the letter. I must admit I looked stunning. The last thing I did was to put the CD-player and my high-heeled shoes in a backpack. At last I sat on the couch to wait for Edward.

Not long after Edward came home. I greeted him, at the door, with a fierce kiss. Then whispered in his ear:

- Go take a shower and we'll go to the meadow! – His already big smile turned even bigger. Then he rushed to the bathroom. – Don't rush, love! – I screamed after him.

Edward came down ten minutes later. We got in the Volvo and drove off. We drove in complete silence, but that wasn't uncomfortable.

- Love, can we walk? – I asked when he parked.

- Of course, dear! – He answered and kissed my temple. Then he placed a gentle kiss on my lips. After I caught my breath we went on. We were holding hands and a few times he saved me from falling.

- Wait here, love! I'll call you. – I told him, when we reached the tree-line. He looked stunned but complied. Then I told him to turn around and close his eyes. Then I went to the center, where there were a spread blanket on the ground and a picnic basket. I didn't know what was in it. I took out the CD-player and my shoes. Then undressed my trainers, jeans and coat, and put my high-heels on and called Edward.

- Come, love!-when Edward came in view, I could see the surprise in his eyes. There was a big poster, spread on three trees, saying "Congratulations! You graduated!". Then Edward came to me and before he took me in his arms I turned the player on. The song "Flightless bird, American mouth" started playing, it was the first song Edward and I danced to.

- I love you! – He whispered in my ear. In answer I leaned to kiss him.

Dancing with Edward felt so magical. We danced to a few songs then went to the blanket. Edward pulled the basket and opened it. Inside there was a bottle of champagne, a bowl of strawberries and two cups. One cup was filled with whipped cream and the other with chocolate syrup. Also there were two glasses. Edward filled the glasses with champagne and we cheered, but only I drank, Edward filled his cup with strawberries. After a while he took one strawberry out of his glass and dipped in the cream, and then in the chocolate and gave it to me. I moaned in pleasure. After I swallowed it Edward kissed me like the world was coming to an end. Then he whispered in my ear:

- You are right, love, it tastes wonderful. – I could feel him smiling crookedly. Then he gave me another strawberry.

After few more strawberries and another glass of champagne Edward said:

- Now, love. It's time for my surprise. – His eyes were glowing. I started wondering what his surprise was, but let it go to soon, because he shoved me on his back and started running. In a few seconds we reached the car.

- What about the player and the basked, love? – I asked curiously.

- Don't worry, love! They won't run away. – He answered, while caressing my cheek.

- OK, love. – I said and leaned in his hand, kissing it. We drove in silence again. I started to get curious again what his surprise might be.

A few minutes later he parked in front of the house. Then he got out and came to help me. When I was out of the car, he grabbed my waist and ran to his room. Then abruptly stopped in front of the door and stood me on my feet. Then he opened the door.

His room was lit by at least a hundred candles. The giant bed was covered in black satin sheets. And on top of the pillows there was a wrapped package, with a pink bow on it. It was very romantic. When I looked around I laid eyes on Edward, who was staring at me with glowing eyes.

(A blink of an eye later...)

He was holding the package and was handing it to me.

- This is my graduation present! – He said with low, purring voice stressing on the pronoun. I unwrapped it and inside there were a short satin midnight-blue nightie and bikini. It was very beautiful and feminine. Then I looked at Edward, he looked like if he could blush, his face would be the shade of a tomato. And he whispered:

- The design is Alice's but I chose the color.

- Would you give me a minute? – I asked as walking to the bathroom. All the while I swayed my hips, more than needed, and winked at him playfully. I think I heard him growl when I closed the door.

When I changed and got out, I looked for Edward. He was lying on the bed, which was now covered in red rose petals, and he was wearing nothing but satin boxers. As it looked they were the same color as my nightie. So I went quickly to him and lay next to him.

- I love you! – I whispered, after kissing his ear. He didn't answer verbally, he just kissed me. After that point we couldn't part until late afternoon the next day.

(EPOV)

Bella was sleeping peacefully in my arms. She was moaning and gasping and I could bet my next hundred years she was dreaming about our previous day and night. In fact I was thinking about that too. Her surprise was amazing. I knew she was clever, but what she did – to combine our two most meaningful memories, was the best thing she had done for me ever. The end of yesterday wasn't bad either. The night was filled with love, lust and want.

Somewhere around four in the afternoon, Bella was woken up by her phone ringing. She picked up immediately.

- Hello. – Her voice was still sleepy.

- Hi, Bells! – It was Charlie. Bella stiffened instantly. I kissed her bare shoulder and she relaxed a little.

- Hi, Dad. – She said somewhat coolly. – What do you want?

- Bells, I wanted to apologize for my behavior, last time we talked. I thought a lot about what you said and if you are happy, then I'll be too. Even though I don't like the person making you happy. – He said. By the end of his speech he was breathing heavily.

- Oh, dad, he does make me happy and now you've made me happier. I love you! – Bella said.

- Love you too, Bells! Gotta go! Talk to you later. – Charlie said and hung up. Then Bella turned to me:

- Good morning, my angel! – She purred and that were the only the only understandable words we heard 'till next morning.

A few hours before Bella woke up, I booked us tickets for a flight to Jacksonville at noon. Then I woke Bella up. I kissed her on the lips tenderly and she moaned.

- Mmmm. I'd like to have someone wake me up like that forever. – she said and snuggled to my chest.

- OK, from now until a few days after the wedding, I'll wake you up like that every morning and put you to sleep like that. – I promised her.

- Thanks. I'd like that. – She purred and started sliding her hand up and down my chest. Then she kissed me, the passion growing with every breath we took. But I had to push her away and when I did she pouted.

- Love, I have to tell you something. – She looked curious there was no sign of the lust that filled her eyes a minute ago. – I booked a flight to Jacksonville at noon. So we need to get up and start packing.

- OK. Let me just tell my father. – She said and got the phone. Whilst she was dialing, we were fooling around.

- Hello, chief Swan speaking. – Charlie said.

- Hi, dad! It's me. – Bella said, smiling. – I just wanted to tell you that Edward and I will fly to Jacksonville to tell mom at noon. We'll drive by the station an hour earlier.

- OK, Bells. I'm all day here. – Charlie said happiness evident in his voice.

- Good! Bye, dad! – Bella said and hung up. Then we started packing our stuff.

We finished in an hour and we had three hours to spare. We sat on the couch and just stared at each others eyes.

- Let's go to the meadow, to kill some time. – Bella was so smart. And I loved her for that.

- OK. – Whilst saying it, I grabbed her and ran with her in my arms. It took a little longer to get there, because I was carrying Bella bridal style, but nevertheless we got there in a flash. We sat snuggled on the blanket and I poured some champagne. Then I started feeding her strawberries again. It was hard for me to restrain myself every time she moaned. And every time she swallowed I planted my lips to hers in a passionate kiss.

We spent an hour like that and then it was time for us to leave. We got up with sad looks on our faces.

- I'm gonna miss this place. – Bella said with a little sadness in her voice.

- Me too. – I agreed. Then I put her on my back and started running.

When we reached the house we just got in the car and sped off.

- I have an idea. – I said, while driving towards the police station. – When we get back to Rockland we'll find a place like our meadow. It won't be so magical but it'll be ours anyways.

- I like that. – She said and stroked my cheek. And just then we were stopped by a police officer. And it was a woman. I focused on her thoughts to see what I had done wrong It turned out that I was driving a little faster that allowed.

- Good morning, officer! How may I be of assistance for you? – I asked.

- Good day! – She smiled sweetly. – You were driving little above the speed limit. May I ask why? – She asked. Her mind was very dirty.

- Well, officer, my girlfriend, the love of my life – her mind got disappointed, when I said that. – just agreed to marry me. Just then Bella showed her ring, while caressing my hand on the steering-wheel.

- Oh. Congratulations! Don't repeat that way of driving again. – The officer warned us. I just nodded absent-mindedly and drove away.

In a few minutes we arrived at the station. There Charlie was waiting for us, outside.

- Hi, kiddo! Edward. – His voice dropped saying my name, as did his face.

- Dad, I want to make complaint. – Bella started in a childish voice. – A few minutes ago we were stopped by a policewoman. The second Edward rolled the window down she started to flirt with him. It was awful. Edward had to tell her we were engaged so she would stop flirting.

- And may I ask why were you stopped? – Charlie inquired curiously.

- Edward was a little above the speed limit. – Bella answered sheepishly, a little blushing. – He is still happy I agreed to marry him.

- Well, honey, I can't blame her, even I'll admit that Edward catches the eye. – Charlie said, awkwardly, looking anywhere but at us. Bella's face fell and she looked stunned at her father.

- Dad! How could you say that? I'm the only one allowed to look at Edward like that! – Bella almost screamed. Her words reminded me of the look she has every time we make love. It was full of lust and possessiveness, and I loved that look.

- Love, don't worry. I won't look at any other woman, you know that. I only have eyes for you. – I said, whilst walking towards her. I pulled her in my arms and kissed her in a way, showing her how much I loved her. She relaxed against me, returning my kiss, showing me her love herself. And then her father coughed behind us.

- Kids, I've got to go to work. Bells tell your mother I said "Hi!". And Edward I want to apologize for my behavior a few days back. I was under a lot of pressure and I had to release it, and you were the closest.

- No worries, chief Swan. I would have done the same, if it were me. And I want to assure you that I will never make the same mistake of leaving Bella again. I love her too much. – I said, the confidence spilling out of me. Charlie wasn't convinced though. He was considering a plan to get rid of me the second I hurt Bella again. Then Bella ushered me in the car:

- Come on, love! Get inside! I'm driving.

- What? No! – I almost growled at her. – I want to arrive today, please.

- Edward, let me drive. Plea-ease! – She said and her eyes widened, like the eyes of a puppy.

- OK. – I sighed, defeated. She jumped and hugged me, she was so happy. Then she went to hug her father.

- I'm gonna miss you, Dad! Take care of yourself and don't eat too much pizza. – She joked and kissed his cheek.

- Chief Swan, it was nice seeing you again. – I shook his hand. Bella had already slipped in the car. I sat in the passenger seat and turned to look at my love.

The ride was quiet, but not uncomfortable. And then we were stopped for the second time. But this time – from a man. Bella gripped my hand, rolled down the window and smiled.

- Good day, officer! How may I help you? – I tried my best not to growl. "She's hot! I love my job. Maybe I'll get her to come out to get a good look at her…" here I squeezed her hand.

- Well Miss…. – He started. His thoughts not changed much.

- Mrs. Cullen! – Bella said and I just stared at her dumb found.

- Well, Mrs. Cullen, I should inform you – his thoughts changed to: "Damn! Whoever he is, he sure as hell is lucky!" I grinned to myself – I was the luckiest man on Earth. – that you didn't use a turning signal.

- Oh. Sorry, officer! It must have slipped my mind. I'm so happy today! – Bella exclaimed, with no falseness in her voice.

- And may I ask what the reason is? – he was asking himself if that was real happy.

- Well, I'm….. pregnant. It's my first child. – What? Why hadn't she told me? Then she squeezed my hand tightly. She was bluffing. – And it's from the love of my life. – She turned to me and smiled at me a genuine smile.

- Oh. Congratulations! I'll let you go this time. But let's hope it'll be your last.

- Of course, officer. Thank you! – Bella smiled and drove off.

On the last miles to the airport I was contemplating should I tell Bella about a vision Alice showed me before we left foe Forks. In that vision: Bella, with pale-white and ice-cold skin, holding a little angel. It had pale-pink skin, Bella's chocolate brown eyes and long copper curly hair. I was holding them both. And we were laughing. With that vision Alice also told me that we should postpone Bella's turning. As I looked around I realized that we were at the airport, so I decided to tell Bella alter.

We got the tickets, we checked in and got settled in our seats, waiting for the plane to take off.

- So, Mrs. Cullen, eh? – I teased her.

- Well, I didn't like the look he had. And I felt your first squeeze. –she blushed and looked away.

- Hey, don't be embarrassed. I liked the sound of it. I also liked the sound of you being pregnant. Too bad I won't hear it in reality. – I said in a sad tone. I still couldn't believe Alice's vision.

- If we continue like on graduation, it won't be so unreal. – She teased me, now.

- Speaking of it, where did you pack your present? – I asked, shaking my eyebrows.

- Who said I have packed it? – She returned with a question and a wicked grin.

Not five minutes into the flight, I pulled Bella up from her seat.

- Where are you taking me? – She asked caught off guard.

- After all those talks of you being pregnant, we might as well try it. And to be honest….. I need you right now. – I whispered the last in her ear, in a strained voice. Then sucked a little on it.

- Wow, eager much! – she teased me and closed the door of the toilet behind her.
