Why Me?

Chapter 20

Hello, one and all! Yeah, I don't have anything to say this time…

-Why Me?-

I looked over at the sleeping body next to me and smiled. It was officially day seven of being Mrs. Edward Cullen and boy, was I loving it. We had gone swimming with dolphins, hiking around the island, had romantic dinners, and so many other amazing things. Edward remained a perfect gentleman. The difference was he wasn't as scared to kiss me in public or make suggestions as he used to be.

I laughed remembering what had happened the night before.

Edward and I went out for dinner at one of the local crab shacks. The waitress had started eyeing Edward the moment we walked in. I pointed it out to him and he just shook his head, telling me not to worry about it.

She seated us and we ordered a short while later. When she had brought the check back I noticed a phone number written on it. I showed Edward and he gave the waitress the money. When we were waiting for her to bring back the change, Edward said, "Bella, I can't wait to get back home tonight."

"And why would that be, Edward?" He smirked.

"I can't wait for the people in the room next to us to complain to the front desk."

Okay, I was seriously confused.

"Why would they be complaining?"

"The headboard hitting the wall, of course." I knew that my face and neck turned red as a tomato. The waitress had come back in the middle of our conversation, looking livid. I couldn't stop laughing even as we left. Edward leaned in and whispered,

"I wasn't joking."

We never heard anything about a complaint. I got up quietly and walked around to Edward's side of the bed. I bent down to get clothes out of my suitcase when I felt myself being pulled back to the bed. I smiled hugely as Edward held on to my waist.

"Where do you think you're going this morning?" I pretended to think for a moment.

"I was planning on getting breakfast for my husband. But, I guess he's not hungry." I felt his lips move to my neck.

"Not hungry for food, anyway." I blushed again and bent down to kiss him. It had been like that the whole honeymoon.

"Not now, Edward. We have to finish the last of the packing so we don't miss our flight."

We were headed back to California and our flight left at two this afternoon. It was already ten in the morning. He groaned and got dressed quickly. We went downstairs and ate a small breakfast of eggs and bacon then we were back in the hotel room. Suffice to say, I'd miss Hawaii.

-Why Me?-

We got to our apartment at five in the afternoon. I gasped when we walked in for the first time. The pictures on the laptop didn't do it justice. The living room wasn't huge, but it wasn't small. Esme had decorated it with cream-colored couches and beige carpeting. The white coffee table matched nicely. The flat-screen TV was attached to the wall.

I walked over to the bookshelf and ran my hand across the spines. It was full of classics and other books that I loved. Edward led me to the bedroom, with the bed sporting a large blue comforter. A square dresser was by the door, and another door on the left led to a bathroom.

He took me on a tour of the rest of the apartment. It was just perfect for the two of us. It had two extra bedrooms, one of which Esme turned into a music room for Edward. I opened the closet door in the bedroom to find it was already full of clothes. I hoped it wasn't Alice that got to choose.

I unpacked the clothes from Hawaii and went back to the living room to see Edward already had a frustrated look on his face.

"What's wrong, Edward?"

He banged the television remote against his hand.

"The stupid thing isn't working."

I grabbed the remote from his hand and turned it around. I took the back out and shook my head. I loved my husband; he could just be such an idiot sometimes.

"There are no batteries in here."

He got a flustered look then, busted out laughing. He walked into the kitchen and came out with the batteries. Once they were in, the TV miraculously started working again. I was still laughing at him even as we watched a baseball game start.

I walked into the kitchen and was glad to see it fully stocked with food, not being in the mood to go out to the grocery store. I was boiling water when my phone started ringing.

"Hello?" I asked as I answered.

"Bella! You got to the apartment without even calling me?" Ah. I should have looked at the caller ID before I answered.

"Sorry, Alice. I was just wanting some alone time in my new apartment with my new husband."

"Oh, so you guys could do the dirty?" I blushed as though I was talking to her in person.

"Wait, how did you know we were even at the apartment?"

There was a silence, then I heard my door be kicked open. I looked out of the kitchen and into the living room, giggling when I saw Emmett's hulking frame in the doorway.

"Welcome to your new home, baby sister!"

I ran up and hugged my big brother. I looked behind him and saw the rest of the Cullen-Swan clan with him. Carlisle stepped forward and spoke next.

"We decided you guys could really use a housewarming party."

I blinked back tears as I shut off the stove. Edward walked in and wrapped his arms around me.

"It's nice to have such a great family."

-Why Me?-

I've decided I'm going to end this story in the next chapter or so. Sorry if you guys are disappointed. :(
