Chapter 14

"Why don't you go to Paris, Edward?" Alice suggested.

Alice and I were poring over traveling brochures, discussing where Bella and I should go for our honeymoon. Both of us were delaying our return to school two weeks after spring break.

Harvard and South View High had graciously excused us from our classes once they'd heard the news. Now, the whole world knew about the marriage, as it had made the front pages of all newspapers.

The companies that had gone against Carlisle and Charlie had been shocked, and had retreated into the shadows, calling off all plans against our companies.

"Paris is great," Alice said. "I should know; I'm studying there. There are a lot of beautiful attractions, and there's a lot to do."

I picked up the brochure for Paris. "Well, I don't know. You'll be going back there soon. Are you going to bother us?"

Alice laughed, nudging me gently. "I'm evil, but I'm not that cruel. No, my teachers told me to take a month off for my spring break. So I'll be leaving once you two come back."

I nodded slowly, considering. "Paris might not be bad."

Alice saw that I was close to making the decision. "Besides, you know how to speak French fluently," she coaxed. "You'll get around a lot faster, and you'll be able to see more."

Paris was definitely tempting. I was reading the paragraph for the tourist attractions when Emmett and Bella came running into the living room, laughing. Emmett had chocolate fudge on his face and shirt.

"I'm going to get you!" Emmett threatened as Bella dodged him from side to side, giggling uncontrollably.

Emmett had a chocolate-covered spatula in his right hand. He attempted to splatter some of the chocolate on Bella from a distance, causing the gooey stuff to drip onto the spotless floor.

"Cut it out!" Bella shrieked.

Emmett laughed before bounding hugely towards her and capturing her in a back hug. He twirled her around, causing another fit of hysterical giggles.

Alice and I watched in amusement. Emmett and Jasper had convinced Bella to bake some of her famous homemade brownies for him. They'd been busy making it in the kitchen since morning, but it looked like Emmett had caused some trouble.

Jasper entered the living room, looking like he hadn't been a victim of chocolate fudge. He sat on the arm of Alice's armchair, shaking his head exasperatedly.

"Emmett! I…can't…breathe…!" Bella gasped, still laughing.

"Say you're sorry!"

She giggled. "Alright, alright. I'm sorry for smearing fudge on you."

"Good." Emmett let her go.

She took deep breaths before glancing at me. She smiled brilliantly like she always did these days when she saw me, and came over.

"Looks like you guys are having fun," Alice teased. "But what if Renee saw you being 'inappropriate'? You're supposed be marrying in three days, remember?"

"Me?" Bella said, looking mockingly outraged. "Em is the one being silly. He dumped a bunch of chocolate chips on the floor. He's so clumsy in the kitchen. If he'd been a woman, no husband would've ever taken him."

"Hey!"

She giggled. "I just had to punish him. The look on his face when I smeared chocolate on him…! Priceless!" She started laughing hysterically again, leaning on my shoulder for support.

I chuckled, shaking my head. "I'm glad you're having fun, Bella."

"Ah, jeez," Emmett said, looking down at his shirt. "I'm a mess. Esme's going to be pissed at me."

"That's not the only thing that's messy," Jasper pointed out. He gestured towards the chocolate-covered floor with his chin. "You're going to make Renee mad as well."

Emmett shrugged. "Ah, well. So have you guys decided where you're going yet?"

"We're going to Paris?" Bella asked, reading the brochure in my hand. "Really?"

She seemed pretty excited. Alice shot me a knowing look, knowing she'd won.

"I guess we are," I said, kissing Bella's forehead.

Bella smiled playfully. "Is the pixie going to bother us?"

"Hey!"

"No, she's going to be going back when we come back," I answered, ignoring her. "She's giving us privacy."

"Good."

"You know," Alice said, making a face. "I'm really glad you guys are finally getting together and everything, but I'll be extra glad when you're out of the country for your honeymoon. I didn't think anyone could make me this jealous, but you guys take first prize for it. I've had enough of your lovey-dovey exchanges."

Bella stuck out her tongue. "You have Jasper. You guys are the ones not being lovey-dovey. Who said you couldn't?"

"Aw, no, please!" Emmett protested. "How do you think I feel? I'm the only single in this room!"

"Whatever," Alice said dismissively. "That's not important."

"What?" Emmett said, outraged.

"So Paris, then?" I asked Bella. She nodded.

"Well, I'm glad that's settled," Jasper said. "You should make reservations now. I wonder if there are any seats by the window left…"

"There will be," Alice said reassuringly. "If you just let slip whose son you are…"

I rolled my eyes. "They'll know without me telling them. They'll recognize me by my name."

"And be sure to change Bella's name to Cullen when you tell the man," Alice added as I dialed the phone number.

"I know," I said. "Hello? Reservations, please. Yes, I'll wait."

Suddenly, there was a shriek from the doorway. Renee was staring at the floor, looking horrified.

"What happened?" she asked, looking like she was going to faint any moment. Renee hated it when there was something dirty on her floor.

Emmett and Jasper exchanged looks, frozen.

"Emmett did it, Mom," Bella said immediately, grinning mischievously when he looked at her, his eyes wide.

Esme appeared next to Renee. "Renee, I think… Emmett! What happened?" She wasn't looking at the floor, but at his shirt and face. She looked just as horrified.

Emmett gulped. "Hi."

Bella bit her lip to stifle her laughter.

"Hello?" I said as the man came back on again. "Yes. Two adults for first-class. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen."

"Oh, did you decide already?" Renee asked excitedly, forgetting about the mess. "Where are you going?"

"Paris," Bella replied.

"Oh, how exciting!" Esme gushed. "I envy you."

Bella smiled as I continued to talk to the man.

"We'll be leaving in the evening in three days," I said. "Yes, please."

"Emmett Cullen," Esme said, turning back to the mess. "You go clean up this instant."

"Jasper Swan," Renee ordered. "You clean up this mess right now." She pointed to the floor.

Jasper opened his mouth to protest, then closed it, shrugging. He sighed as he took out the rag he'd been using in the kitchen from his pocket and started cleaning up the mess. Meanwhile, Emmett disappeared out of the room to go change.

"Oh, honey," Esme said, coming over to sit down beside Bella. "Everything's ready now. All we need is for you to pick out a wedding dress. We'll go tomorrow."

Bella made a face, but nodded.

"Ooh, how exciting!" Alice gushed. "Can I come?"

"Of course, Alice!" Renee said immediately. "We'll need your advice. After all, you're the fashion expert in this family."

Bella grimaced even more at that but kept silent. She ignored everyone and merely leaned back on the couch, playing with my right hand.

"Yes, thank you," I finished. "Goodbye." I hung up the phone.

"Are we set?" Bella asked.

"Yes, ma'am," I said, smiling down at her affectionately. "We'll be leaving at eleven-thirty in the evening."

Alice squealed softly, looking more excited than Bella did. "Oh, you'll have so much fun. I promise you won't regret going there."

"Do you really think they're going to Paris for sight-seeing?" Emmett asked, walking in with a clean shirt on. He had washed his face as well.

"Well, what would they go for, then?"

"Privacy," Emmett replied slyly. "Someplace they could be alone. In the same bed."

Renee and Esme giggled while Bella blushed. I stroked her hair calmly, not at all embarrassed.

"Are you done?" I asked.

Bella's eyes grew wide. "We forgot to put it in the oven! It's all your fault, Em!" She got up and dashed out of the room.

"My fault?" Emmett repeated as he followed her out. "Do I need to remind you that you're the one who smeared chocolate all over me?"

Esme sighed dreamily. "Paris. I'd like to go there someday. Maybe Carlisle could take me there for a second honeymoon."

I glanced at the brochure again. The attractions were pretty and the Eiffel Tower would be worth seeing.

But Emmett was right. I didn't know about Bella, but I was looking for something specific.

Somewhere private.

AN: Ooh-la-la! Somewhere private, eh? Hee-hee. What do you think of that? Let me know what you think! Reviews!
