Chapter 24: What the hell

B Pov

I woke up in Edward's arms soon after I fell asleep. I looked up to find him looking down at me and smiled. I thought back to our wedding, it was very white, big and expensive. It was gorgeous but not my dream wedding. I looked out the tinted window and felt Edward's hand caressing mine, and I looked up at him.

"What's wrong?" I asked seeing his sad eyes looking at me.

"Nothing," he said and changed his face into one which was completely serene but there was still that shadow in his eyes. "We are here," he said as the car parked. I let whatever it was that was bothering him go and nodded. He slowly led me to the chalet of our hotel with one of his hands in my back.

He opened the door and my heart did a summersault at the sight of the room. It was beautiful. The bed had white sheets that were long and to the floor. The floor was wooden and had champagne coloured carpets beside the bed. On the corner I noticed two suitcases and two smaller bags. I walked to the bed and lightly brushed my fingers across the many pillows.

"You like it?" Edward said and I spun around startled. He was looking at me with curious eyes. I nodded.

"Yes... I like it." I said and he smiled at me but it didn't reach his eyes.

"Do you want to shower first or should I go?" He asked.

"You can go first," I said and he entered the bathroom. He came back soon after dressed in blue flannel pyjama pants and a white T-shirt. I took a long, warm bath and dressed in my new pyjamas. A baby blue silk dress. I brushed through my tangles and brushed my teeth before going back to the bedroom.

Edward was on his side of the bed looking at the sealing. The bed lamp was on on his side and it illuminated his features. His tousled bronze hair, his square jaw, his vibrant green that no longer held that happiness.

"Hey," I whispered and laid down beside him. He looked at me and tried to smile but it came out wrong. "Edward are you okay?"

"I am, let's go to bed, you are tired," he said and turned off the lamp. I stayed there in the dark for a while and closed my eyes. I turned on the light and looked at him.

"When will you tell me what's wrong?" I asked and he opened his eyes.

"Bella please.."

"No, Edward this thing is killing you therefore killing me," I said and he held my hand under the covers.

"I'm sorry Bella," he said but didn't say anything else. I turned away from him and turned the light off. After a while I heard him sighing.

"Carlisle has cancer Bella" he said and I turned the light back on before sitting up abruptly.

"What?" I asked. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I didn't want to worry you," he said.

"How did you not want to worry me? Is this the reason why you asked me to marry you?"

"I just didn't, okay? Yes... No... more or less," he said

"Explain yourself." I demanded.

"It's Carlisle's wish to see me happy, to see the company thrive... I care for you Bella, I really do. I want to see you happy. Bella, ever since we were teenagers I have wanted you. Now I have you, I want to make you happy. I want to tell you how much I love you, I want to show you how much I love you," he said and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm sorry."

I hugged Edward as hard as I could. "I love you too Edward," I whispered into his ear.

"Good morning," I heard him say while trailing feather like kissed on my face and neck. I smiled and opened my eyes to see my husband.

"Morning," I said and kissed him on the cheek.

"Sorry to wake you up but we have to get dressed so we can go."

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"You already think our honeymoon is over? It's just starting." He said kissing the sweet spot behind my ear. He passed his tongue behind my ear and I moaned.

"Ed-ward... you have to s-s-stop," I moaned as he descended to my neck.

"No," he said putting his hand on my naked back.

"Edward." I shrieked when his hand continued its' was down to my core.

"Let's shower." He said standing up and showing me his naked glory. I nodded and got up. The chill of the morning hit me and I shivered.

"Cold?" Edward asked wrapping his arms around me. I nodded and kissed his chest.

*50 minutes later*

"You didn't tell me where we are going.," I said putting on my sandals while he rolled up his blue button up and carried our bags.

"Do you really want to know?" He asked and I nodded.

"The airport," he said and left the room. I rolled my eyes and ran to the car with my purse in hand. He opened the door to the backseat of the limo for me and I entered.

"Could you give me a little more details?" I asked while he put his arm around me.

"You'll find out soon enough," he said kissing me and I sighed.

"You know we have a lot to talk about don't you?" I asked after a while.

"I know but I intend on keeping you busy for the rest of the week so we will talk about it when we are back." He said and smiled his crooked grin that I missed so much.

"How so husband?" I asked.

"By shagging you everywhere I can," he said kissing me. "Did I tell you how much I love when you call me that?"


A/N: Thanks for reading and being patient with me for the past month. I've had some problems with all the negative reviews but I hope I'm back on track.
