Chapter 12: SURPRISE AFTER SURPRISE
(Bella's POV)
Last night was the best night of my life. Edward asked me to be his girlfriend and after we got back to the dorm, I couldn't sleep so, Edward came to my dorm and brought me to his. It all had to be a dream, but when I woke up this morning, I was laying in the arms of my own personal Greek god.
"Good morning, love," Edward said, his voice still velvety smooth.
I smiled and said, "Yes, indeed, it is a very good morning."
He chuckled softly and leaned down to give me a soft kiss. Then he sat up and my breath caught. Edward was wearing a pair of flannel pajama bottoms and that was it. The only thing I could do was stare at his perfect body. He turned around and asked, "What?"
"You're hot," I said. Wait! Did I just say that out loud? Crap! Crap! Crap! I was mentally kicking myself repeatedly.
But instead of staring at me like I was a complete idiot, he laughed and leaned down to kiss me. "But not as hot as you."
I blushed but said, "I beg to differ."
He just laughed again and stood up and pulled me up with him. He kissed me like he did last night at the formal. He was making me go weak at the knees. He licked my bottom lip, asking for entrance, and I parted my lips for him. Before we knew it, we were sitting make on his bed in a full make-out session.
"Hey, Edward? Have you seen my-- WHOA!"
Edward and I jumped apart and I hit my head on the wall. "Ow!" I said, rubbing the spot on my head that I hit.
Edward came over to me and asked, "Are you alright?"
I nodded and looked over at the door to see Emmett standing there. I blushed a deep crimson.
Edward and I were both breathing hard when Edward asked, "Can I help you with something?"
"Well, I was going to ask you if you've seen my belt because I had it last night. But apparently you haven't," Emmett said with a smirk as he turned around to leave. My blush deepened.
"Sorry about that," Edward said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"It's alright," I said as I leaned up to give him a peck on the cheek.
He smiled and said, "What do you want to do today? We don't have anything to do all day, but Alice wants to go to dinner with everyone tonight."
I nodded and said, "That's fine. And I want to be outside today. It's the first time it's been sunny since I've been here."
"Okay, I need to call Alice and tell her we're coming," he said.
I nodded and said, "I'll go change." I grabbed my change of clothes and started towards the bathroom, but before I could get there, Edward grabbed my wrist and pulled me back and kissed me again. "What was that for?" I asked after he pulled away.
He shrugged. "No reason," he said with his crooked smile.
I giggled and turned towards the bathroom to change. I changed into my favorite gray tank top and denim shorts that came to my knees (pics on profile) and walked out of the bathroom to see Edward already changed into a blue striped shirt that clung to his body so that you could see his amazing abs and dark-washed jeans (pics on profile). Once again, he was hot!
He came over to me, took my hand, and said, "We have to be back by five, so let's go." He pulled me out the door and to the elevator.
"Where are we going?" I asked, confused.
He smirked and said, "It's a surprise."
"I hate surprises," I groaned.
He laughed, "I think you'll like this one."
"Won't you tell we what it is?" I said, pulling out the puppy-dog face again.
"Ah, ah, ah. I'm not falling for that again. You'll just have to wait and see," he said, smiling at me.
"Fine," I said, starting to pout.
"Oh, you're just so adorable when you pout," he said and leaned down to give me a kiss.
I couldn't help but smile. I couldn't be unhappy when I'm with him.
We walked to the other side of campus and up to the surrounding forest. I stopped dead in my tracks. I didn't like the the forest. The forest meant tree roots and tree roots meant me tripping a lot.
Edward kept pulling me towards the forest and said, "I won't let you fall, I promise."
I gulped and nodded and followed him. After about fifteen minutes of walking- well, tripping for me- through the forest, we came upon a beautiful meadow.
"Edward, it's beautiful," I breathed. "How did you know where this was?"
"This is where I come when I want to think sometimes," he said with a shrug. "I think we're the only ones who know where it is."
I smiled up at him. "I'm honored that you choose me to see your private thinking spot."
He laughed. "You would be the only one I would show this to."
I walked out to the middle of meadow and laid down on the cool grass. Edward came over to where I was laying down and laid down next to me. He picked up my hand and started to rub small circles on the back of my hand. I just relaxed and enjoyed being with Edward.
After a little while, I looked over at Edward to see he had his eyes closed. I didn't want to disturb him, so I just watched him. His face was calm and peaceful. He looked amazing in the sunlight. His bronze hair shown in the light and the breeze tousled it a bit. His skin seemed to sparkle in the light as well. I could spend all day watching Edward. I sighed as I was marveling in his beauty. Then he opened his eyes and smiled.
"Hi," was all I could say. His bright emerald eyes were breathtaking. His smile widened and he sat up on one elbow.
"You know, you look beautiful in the sunlight," he said as he reached up with one hand and brushed a piece of hair out of my face. I blushed and looked down. I felt him put one of his fingers under my chin and lift my head and then he leaned in to kiss me. It was a sweet kiss and I enjoyed every minute of it.
"I think it's time to go back," he said when he pulled away. I nodded and he helped me off the ground and we headed back to campus.
"Alice, where are we going?" I asked for like the tenth time tonight. Edward had dropped me off at my dorm so I could get ready to go on our group date but they wouldn't tell me where we were going.
"It's a surprise, so quit asking. You'll find out when we get there," she said as we walked down the hall to the elevator to meet the boys downstairs.
"Fine," I huffed.
A few minutes later the boys pulled up in the Jeep. Edward came over to me wearing a blue dress shirt that was rolled up to his elbows and black dress pants. He was about to give me a kiss when Alice said, "Watch the lip gloss." He shook his head and gave me a kiss on the forehead.
"You look stunning," he said to me. I was wearing a knee-length cobalt blue dress with criss-crossing straps in the back, silver stilettos that Alice forced me into, and Edward's necklace (pics on profile). My hair was up in an elegant bun, thanks to Rosalie.
I blushed, "Thanks, and you just look hot." He laughed at our little joke.
"Why, thank you. I'm flattered," he said as he pulled me to the Jeep. We all climbed into the Jeep and headed off to our unknown- well unknown to me- destination.
When we got there, I saw a somewhat fancy restaurant. We walked in and were immediately seated. We ordered and watched some people sing karaoke. Some of the people were horrible and others were actually decent. After we were done eating, Edward said, "I'll be right back." I nodded and he walked away.
After about fifteen minutes, Edward didn't come back. I was starting to get worried but no one else seemed bothered by his absence. I was about to get up to go look for him when I heard the announcer say, "Ladies and gentleman, please welcome Edward Cullen to the stage." I sat there shocked and all the girls around the room started to cheer loudly for Edward. He came out on stage, holding a microphone. He was looking at me the whole time as he said, "I would like to dedicate this song to my special someone." (#1) Then he winked at me as a guitar started to play.
Baby lock the door and turn the lights down low
Put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand
I was still shocked about this. But then he smiled at me and I relaxed.
I've been thinking 'bout this all day long
Never felt a feeling quite this strong
I can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man
He walked off the stage towards me. I looked around to see all the girls in the crowd giving me death glares. I ignored them and returned my attention to my man.
There's no hurry
Don't you worry
We can take our time
Come a little closer
Lets go over
What I had in mind
His voice was hypnotic as he walked up to me and took my hand.
Baby lock the door and turn the lights down low
Put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand
He pulled me from my seat and brought me to a seat in the front of the stage. Then he went back to the stage.
I've been thinking 'bout this all day long
Never felt a feeling quite this strong
I can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man
He continued to sing with his amazing voice. His eyes never left mine.
Ain't nobody ever loved nobody
The way that I love you
We're alone now
You don't how
Long I've wanted to
He had a smile on his face the whole time and I couldn't help but smile back. I thought I was going to be embarrassed but I wasn't. My face was probably really red but I didn't care.
Lock the door and turn the lights down low
Put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand
I've been thinking bout this all day long
never felt a feeling that was quite this strong
I can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man
I Can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man
After he finished the song he came down to where I was sitting and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. I blushed when he said, "I'll be right out." I nodded and stayed where I was. Edward went back on stage and everyone cheered. Then he exited the stage.
I waited a few minutes for Edward to come back but when he didn't come back I went to go look for him. I went behind the stage to look for him and I saw Lauren practically on top of him.
I knew he wasn't enjoying it from the disgusted look on his face.
I was thinking about just going up to them and ripping Lauren away from him but I thought of a better idea. If I wanted to show Lauren up, then why not do it in a creative way. I would sing for Edward like he sang for me.
I ran over to the announcer and requested a song. He nodded and said over the louder speaker, "Would Edward Cullen please come to the dining area?" I then went back stage and was given a microphone and walked onto the stage.
(Edward's POV)
I was eternally grateful to who ever called me to the dining hall. Lauren was getting on my last nerve and she smelled bad as well.
"I have to go," I said pushing her off me and walked quickly to the dining hall and sat down at my table with my family. I heard Lauren following me.
"What's up?" I asked confused. I saw Lauren sitting at the table next to ours. I tried to hold in a shudder. I looked back at my family and they were all smiling and pointing at the stage.
I turned around as I heard a trombone start to play. On the stage was a girl with a blue dress on and brown wavy hair. She had her back turned to the crowd. The guys in the crowd were whistling and cheering for her. (#2) Then she started to sing into a microphone.
Hey!
Then she turned around. My eyes widened in shock. It was Bella.
Do your thang honey!
Bella, my sweet Bella, jumped off the stage and walked up to me and started to sing with her sweet voice. This was so unexpected that I went in shock.
I could feel it from the start,
Couldn't stand to be apart.
Something 'bout you caught my eye,
Something moved me deep inside!
I don't know what you did boy but you had it
And I've been hooked ever since.
I told my mother, my brother, my sister and my friends
I told the others, my lovers, both past and present tense.
That every time I see you everything starts making sense.
She was smiling the sexiest smile I had ever seen in my life.
Do your thang honey!
She started to move her hips to the beat of the song.
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(what you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class.
You got style, you bad ass (oh yeah!)
Ain't no other man its true (alright)
Ain't no other man but you.
On the last line of the chorus, she came up to me and poked me in the chest and winked.
Till you came and changed my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
What was cloudy now is clear! Yeah, yeah!
You're the light that I needed.
You got what I want boy, and I want it!
So keep on givin' it up!
Never thought I'd be alright. No, no, no!
Tell your mother, your brother, your sister, and your friends.
And the others, your lovers, better not be present tense.
Cause I want everyone to know that you are mine and no one else's!
She pointed to Emmett and Alice when she sang something about brothers and sisters and I heard them laugh behind me.
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(what you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class.
You got style, you bad ass (oh yeah!)
Ain't no other man it's true (alright)
Ain't no other man but you.
She kept her eyes locked with mine as she sang the next verse of the song.
Break it down now!
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other! (other)
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other LOVER!
Ain't no other, I, I, I need no other!
Ain't no other man but you!
Ohhhh!
You are there when I'm a mess
Talk me down from every ledge
Give me strength, boy you're the best
You're the only one who's ever passed every test
She hit the high note perfectly and almost every guy in the room cheered loudly.
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(what you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class.
You got style with ya bad ass (oh yeah!)
Ain't no other man it's true (alright)
Ain't no other man but you.
And now I'm tellin' you son, ain't no other man but you
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(what you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon. (baby, baby, baby)
You got soul, you got class.
You got style ya bad ass (oh yeah!)
Ain't no other man it's true (alright)
Ain't no other man but you.
After she hit the last note of the song, she walked up to me, pulled me out of my seat and gave me a very passionate kiss. I kissed her back. I didn't have any idea what triggered this reaction from Bella but I found out quickly when she broke the kiss and gave Lauren a smug smirk. I looked over at Lauren and saw that her mouth was hanging wide open.
The crowd was cheering and whistling loudly and Bella turned around, smiled and curtsied for them.
She then walked over to Lauren and said, "If you ever touch him again, you'll have to deal with me. And trust me, you really don't want to do that." Then she turned on her heel and walked back to me and put her arms around my waist.
"So... how was it?" she asked with a smile.
"Amazing," I breathed. Bella had truly taken my breath away with that performance. She grinned and I leaned down to kiss her.
"Bella, where did that come from?" Emmett asked after we broke apart.
She giggled. "No one touches my man and gets away with it."
We all laughed with her and then I sat down with her in my lap. We talked about our performances and Lauren's reaction to Bella's. Then Emmett got up on stage and started to sing Barbie Girl. Everyone got a kick out of that one.
Then we decided to head back to the dorms. We climbed into the Jeep and headed back. When we got back, we all said our goodnights. I gave Bella a passionate kiss and said goodnight. She said goodnight to me as well and went up to her dorm with Rosalie and Alice.
I was really tired, so I changed into my pajamas and went to my room. Bella is the most incredible person I have ever met and I wasn't going to let her go. I went to sleep dreaming of my Bella.
(Bella's POV)
After the boys left to go back to their dorm, I followed Rosalie and Alice up to our dorm.
I was so tired, that I went straight to my room, changed into my pajamas (which now consisted of a pair of shorts and one of Edward's shirts), and went to lay down on my bed.
I inhaled his wonderful scent; it calmed me and let me sleep in my own bed, and then I fell asleep with my dreams filled with my Edward.
