I just kissed her and she's still sitting in my lap; I just admitted that I wanted to spend eternity with her and she's not screaming. She didn't run away! I leaned in for another kiss this time with a little more passion. She met my kiss and deepened it. I had to finally pull away when I began to struggle for breath. Bella was also having trouble breathing. I rested my cheek on top of her head. Of course our perfect moment had to be interrupted.
"Bella, is this guy giving you a hard time?" Emmett bounced in coming to stand right in front of us. I watched as Bella turned a delightful shade of pink. She was so gorgeous and now she was mine. That sounded so good.
"What do you want Emmett?" I asked, slightly frustrated that I had to share my Bella.
"Touchy aren't we Edward? Well Jasper and I just arrived and Alice mentioned that you guys had been in here for hours...together...all alone" He was grinning the goofiest grin. What did he think we had done? Never mind, I have an idea. I pinched the bridge of my nose and took a deep calming breath.
"Emmett out!" Bella suddenly said in an angry voice as if she were disciplining a puppy. Emmett simply lowered his head, pouted his lips and sulked out of the room. Wow, I would have to try that sometime. Bella was just full of surprises wasn't she? I listened as she sighed heavily. I started chuckling. She immediately tensed.
"Relax my love" I whispered in her ear before kissing her neck lightly. She shivered slightly and I wrapped my arms around her waist.
"Edward, I really have to get back to work, I'm going to be at the pageant all day tomorrow and" I quickly kissed her lips.
"That's fine Bella, I guess I will just see you tomorrow" She smiled at me warmly.
'So I take it that Amanda astounded all the judges and she's in the semi-finals?" I nodded in response and watched as her smile grew wider.
"I'm so happy for her" She looked it too; I wonder why she cared so much about Amanda?
"Well I better let you work away to your heart's content" I slid her off my lap onto the couch before leaning in for another chaste kiss and standing up. I would never get my fill of kissing Bella.
"Goodbye my Bella" I kissed her hand and walked out of her office. Feeling her stare on my back, I turned around at the door and flashed her a smile before slipping out.
"EDWARD ANOTHONY MASEN! What have you been doing in there?" When had Alice turned into my mother?
"Mary Alice Brandon! What have you been doing out here?" I thoroughly enjoyed stirring Alice up.
"Don't take that tone with me Mr!" So she was reprimanding me, big deal, I was what, at least a foot and a half taller than her. She was really intimidating, not! I snorted loudly. Big mistake. Alice stamped down on my foot with her heel, the pain almost bringing tears to my eyes. She then grabbed my ear and started dragging me to the elevator.
'Alice, ow! Let me go! What have I done to deserve this?" I shrieked, my ear and my foot were now throbbing.
"You break her heart Mr and I will break your car! Do we have an understanding!" I was so confused, this morning Alice was trying to get me and Bella together and now she was threatening me...and my precious car! Not to mention I would never hurt Bella, ever, and I would make sure that anyone who did would pay.
"Alice, I love Bella of course I'm not going to break her heart!" I growled, she instantly released my ear. Her mouth was hanging open.
"You...you love her?!" She squealed after a nanosecond of incoherent thought.
"Alice, keep your voice down...I haven't told her yet" I mumbled. She punched me hard in the arm. Alice sure was strong!
"Why not!" I stared at her hard and she softened.
"Ok, ok, it's too soon and I will try and stay out of it but I'm not promising you anything" She complained.
"Thanks Alice! I'll see you at the pageant tomorrow" I smiled before running in the elevator quickly before she decided to attack me again.

I woke up screaming. But calmed down slightly when I realised I was just lying on my couch in my office and not tied to a chair in a damp hotel room. I shuddered at the memory and got up quickly throwing open the curtains to let in the early morning sunlight. Today was beautiful and I was excited for the first time in a while. The semi-finals for the pageant were today and Edward was going to be there. Edward...sigh. He was so perfect, and gorgeous and sweet and kind and muscled...Snap out of it Bella! I shook my head and headed into the bathroom to take a shower. I thought I heard the door open while I was showering, but no one answered to my call. Turning off the faucets I blindly grabbed for a towel, wrapping it around myself before stepping out from behind the shower curtain.
"Shit fire and save matches!" I screamed startled as I stepped out and saw Alice rummaging through the wardrobe.
"Did you hear that from Emmett?" Alice asked nonchalantly while still not really noticing me.
"Alice! Haven't you heard of knocking! I was in the shower for heaven's sake! I could have walked out here naked! Why didn't you answer me when I called out?" I vented, gripping the towel to me tightly.
"Bella, Chillax! We have to get you beautified for Edward!" Alice was clapping her hands together and dancing on the spot. She chucked me a red lace bra and underwear set.
"Put those on and stop complaining, I will give you five minutes starting from now and then I will be back to choose you a cute little outfit" She pressed a button on her watch and skipped out. She really was going to time me. Damn you Alice! After my allocated time, Alice waltzed back in and pulled out another daring outfit...well everything was daring for me.
"Alice" I groaned.
"Shut up Bella! Edward will love it! Now this is a pencil skirt, the colour is midnight black. This top is a sexy ¾ French cuff shirt, now its white satin so I know the bra will show through but that's the idea" Alice winked at me. "So tuck this shirt into the skirt and it will look hot!"Alice squealed jumping up and down.
'Alice what are you trying to do to me?" I shrieked and she just started laughing.
"Get dressed Bella or I will dress you" She walked out of the bathroom still laughing. Great, psycho Alice is in the building. I quickly slipped into the curve hugging clothes and walked out for Alice to inspect me. After a few minutes of tugging and straightening she clapped her hands together.
'Right, Rose should be here any second, let me just pick out some shoes and then we will get to work on you" She danced back into the bathroom emerging with a pair of black stilettos.
"Alice why is Rose coming?" I shouted as Rose walked in carrying a curling iron, hair straightener and blow dryer and a large bag. Great, more torture and it's not even eight in the morning yet.
After what seemed like hours Rose and Alice let me stand up. I looked in the mirror and blinked. Wow, I almost looked hot; they had straightened my hair and curled the bottom and done bold eye make-up but still managed to keep the rest light. I hugged Rosalie and Alice.
"You two are amazing!" I smiled at them appreciatively.
"We know" Rose hummed.
"Uh oh, it's time to go Bella. We'll catch you later Rose!" Alice dragged me out, as I stumbled in my heels.
"Alice slow down, I can hardly walk!" We rested in the elevator, briefly, before I was shoved into her Porsche.
'Where's the fire Alice?" I asked as we burnt rubber speeding out of the parking lot.
"Well, you are supposed to make an introduction in...nine minutes and thirty seven seconds, but who's counting" She laughed happily and kept on recklessly driving. We made in there with two minutes to spare. A record if you ask me. I was rushed backstage and told to be ready in ten seconds. Well, here we go again. I strutted out onto the stage, attempting to look confident while I felt like I was going to pass out or trip at any second. I exhaled as I made it to the microphone and begun speaking. After welcoming everyone and congratulating everyone on making it so far I went backstage to find Alice or hopefully Edward. I wasn't watching where I was going and abruptly slammed into something solid. Two arms wrapped around my waist and I heard a chuckle I knew oh so well.
"Edward" I smiled at him, relieved that a stranger hadn't just wrapped their arms around me.
"Hello love" He bent down and kissed me lightly on the lips.
"You look stunning today, positively breathtaking" He quickly swept his gaze over my body, before staring into my eyes. 'But those shoes are going to be a problem I think. Did you let Alice dress you again" I nodded remorsefully and he laughed.
'Silly Bella, why don't you use your Emmett trick on her" My Emmett trick? I cocked my head to the side. "You pointed and spoke and he listened" He laughed as I blushed remembering how I had been so rude yesterday.
"Sorry" I mumbled. One of his hands went from my waist to my face. He lifted my chin up.
"There is nothing to be sorry for, it was quite adorable" He kissed me again, deeper this time. We didn't break apart until we heard squealing.
"Bella!" It was Amanda. She ran full pelt and collided with my legs, almost knocking me to the ground. Luckily, Edward had his arms wrapped around me tightly.
"Edward let her go I want to hug her!" Amanda pouted.
"No, she's mine" He teased laughing at Amanda.
"I bet I can hold onto her longer than you can" Amanda returned, a clear challenge.
"Really?" He pulled me closer to him. "And Bella who do you think would win such a bet?" He smiled at me, taking out my breath.
"I'm not a gambling woman" I took the coward's way out, but Edward simply chuckled.
"Well we could always find out?" I snapped my attention back to him. Amanda instantly relatched onto my legs.
"Edward" I groaned resting my head on his chest.
"Love, you should have just answered the question" He laughed, the sound rumbling in his chest.
"What on earth are you two doing to poor Bella?" Alice laughed. Thank goodness, my saviour.
"Amanda bet Edward that she could hold onto me longer than he could" I whined as Alice and Jasper stood beside us with big smiles.
"Sweetie you are going to be there a while, I don't think Edward will ever willingly let Bella go" Alice murmured to Amanda, just loud enough for Edward and I to hear her. Amanda pouted before letting go.
"Looks like I win" Edward kissed my neck lightly, as I blushed. I loved how he made me feel.
"So you did" I smiled.
"Are you two going to do this all day" Amanda grumbled. Edward laughed and took a step away from me, intertwining our fingers.
"Unfortunately no, do you need any help getting ready Amanda?" She looked defiantly at Edward.
"No Edward, I'm all ready" And with that she stormed over to the marshalling area.
"Good Luck Amanda" I called after her. She turned briefly and smiled before continuing on.
