I am somewhat nervous, but I am also very excited. I am pretty sure I have managed to keep my Valentine's Day plans a surprise. I was sitting in the oversized chair reading Jane Eyre when Edward came in and knelt down on the floor in front of me to be eye level. He wrapped his arms around me and slid me forward towards him.

"Happy Valentine's Day Bella." he smiled and took my face gently in his hands and kissed me so softly. I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. He stood up taking me with him, spinning me in circles in the small living room.

"Good morning, Happy Valentine's Day." I couldn't take my eyes off his this morning; they were bright amber so warm and full of love. He was incredibly happy today. We kissed again.

"Have you decided what you want to do today?" he said as ran his fingers through my hair.

"I have."

He raised an eyebrow, "really? So what are we doing?"

"Let me down and I will show you." He set me back down on the floor and I grabbed my purse. I pulled out the card I had stashed away for him.

My hands were shaking as I handed him the envelope.

"Bella, are you ok?" he took my hands in his and held them tight.

"Yes, I am just a little nervous I guess. I really want you to like the first part of your present."

"The first part? Are you trying to make me feel inadequate? Wow, I only got you one little thing and you're giving me more than one." He was grinning as he teased me, now I was really worried. I could only imagine what "one little thing" he got me. There is not such a thing as little when it comes to Edward and gifts.

He took the card and opened it up. His eyes lit up and he beamed a smile so big and bright.

"Bella, you got us tickets to see Shakespeare's Midsummer's Night Dream?"

"Do you like it?"

He hugged me so tight; if I had needed to breathe I wouldn't have been able to. "I love it, where is this at?"

"In London."

"Bella, this is going to be great. I can't wait to see Shakespeare with you." He picked me up and carried me into the bedroom. He playfully tossed me on the bed and started pulling off his clothes in a quick, frenzied way. The sun was shining directly through the window that was behind him. Its rays filtering through the ivory sheers that hung in front of the window softened the sharp features of Edward's body, casting a soft pale yellow glow when it reflected off his skin it gave him the appearance of an angel with a soft aura radiating off him. We stayed in the villa all morning and all afternoon. We were so involved in each other, we lost track of time. Edward rolled over and glanced out the window and saw it was starting to get dark. He glanced back and saw that it was 5:30 our tickets were for 8:00.

"Love, um we need to get going if we are going to make it to the theater." He leaned over and kissed my forehead. We have gotten better about these kinds of afternoons; we haven't broken a bed for a few months now.

Edward got into the shower and I pulled the garment bag out of the small closet. Alice had packed our things. It should have a suit and shoes for Edward and my dress and shoes. I unpacked Edward's suit and hung it in the door way for him. I left my dress in the bag and took it into the bathroom with me; I wasn't ready for Edward to see it yet. I took a quick shower just so I could get my hair washed. I got out of the shower and dried my hair. I put on some light makeup that Alice had packed and finally put on the blue dress. I put on black heels that in my human life would have scared the hell out of me. I finally was ready; as I stood in the full length mirror on the back of the bathroom door I almost didn't recognize the reflection. I took a deep breath and calmed myself down.

I walked through the doorway to see Edward standing there in a black tuxedo with tails. When he realized I was coming through the door he turned around and in his arms was the most beautiful bouquet of deep burgundy roses with brilliant white orchids. The scent was amazing. He looked gorgeous. He had on a blue vest and blue bowtie that matched the blue fabric of my dress exactly. Alice.

"Damn, Edward you look…"

His eyes and his smile lit up, "Bella, that was thought exactly. I am speechless I really can't describe how I feel."

"You like my dress? Alice and Jasper helped me pick it out."

"Oh, I love the woman in the dress, the dress, the shoes, the hair, but something is missing." He made an exaggerated pouty face.

"Um, what is missing? My coat?"

Edward handed me the bouquet of roses and then pulled a small box pale blue box from his pocket.

"Happy Valentine's Day." He said as he opened the small box for me to see what was inside. It was a huge princess cut deep blue sapphire that was edged in smaller white sapphires in a platinum setting. It was perfect for the dress. Edward put the pendant on me and we walked over to a mirror. We looked like royalty.

Before we left there was a knock on the door. It was Carlisle and Esme wanting to get a look at us before we left.

"Well, did she surprise you?" Carlisle asked Edward as he walked in.

"Oh Bella, you look gorgeous. You both do." Esme took our picture.

"You were in on this with her?" Edward looked surprised.

"Yes, dear, we all were." Esme kissed him on the cheek and Carlisle helped me with my coat.

Edward looked flabbergasted. "I didn't catch even a hint of what you were planning. I must be losing m touch."

Carlisle chuckled, "No, I think we're just getting better at hiding things from you."

"You both had better get going, you'll be late." Esme hugged us both.

"I left the directions to the theater on the center console for you. You both have a good time." Carlisle held the door open for us. Edward put his arm around my waist as we walked to the car, he opened the door and once he knew I was in, he shut the door. He got in, started the car and we were off.

"Have you ever seen Shakespeare performed live before?"

"No, I did see the movie in High School when I was in Arizona." Edward rolled his eyes and groaned.

"Sorry love, it's not the same. You'll love this tonight."

When we pulled up in front of the theater the valet opened my door and helped me out. Edward took the ticket from him and tipped him. "Thank you sir, enjoy the performance."

As we walked into the small theater I realized we must have been among London's Elite, and I think we were, or at least I was the youngest one there. The atrium was beautifully decorated; tall ceilings with lots of dark wood and marble accents. There were ornately framed photographs of the different troupes who have performed there. A gentleman checked our coats for us. It felt like everyone in the room was watching us. Edward leaned over and whispered, "A lot of them think we're celebrities of some sort." I laughed, almost snorted.

We walked up to the usher and Edward showed him our tickets.

"Dr. and Mrs. Cullen, please follow me." The usher turned and led us to the door and held it open. We were in private balcony seats. "I hope you enjoy the performance." After a few minutes the lights dimmed and the curtain went up. The actors came to life on stage.

"Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour
draws on apace; four happy days bring in
another moon: but, O, methinks, how slow
this old moon wanes! She lingers my desires,
like to a step-dame or a dowager
long withering out a young man revenue."

I was immediately drawn into the story. Edward quietly explained some of the things they spoke of that I was not familiar with. The actors were fantastic. The sets were very basic as to not upstage the actors. Edward had his arm wrapped around my shoulders, I couldn't tell if he spent more time watching the performance or watching me watch the performance. Since we didn't know anyone else to warrant mingling, didn't need anything to drink or need to use the "loo" we remained seated during the intermissions.

At the end of the performance the cast came out for the curtain call and took a bow. They received a standing ovation. They deserved it they were absolutely wonderful. I had a wonderful time. We stopped by the coat room and picked up our coats, we were in the lobby waiting for the line at Valet to diminish. An older man in a suit came up next to me, Edward must have heard something he didn't like, and he quickly put himself between the man and me. The man stiffened up and said to Edward, "Your girlfriend is very lovely, she a model?" I could hear the growl building in Edward and I squeezed his hand.

"She is my wife and she is not." He was very short and gruff with the man.

"I apologize, and I am rude for not introducing myself. I am Lord Geoffrey Williams you are…"

"Dr. Cullen." The man stuck his hand out to shake Edward's and he just looked down at it.

"Doctor, I see, a doctor of what?"

"Genetics, I am here on business actually. I attended the lecture at Cambridge."

"Ah, are you an alumnus?"

"No, I attended Harvard."

"Really, you look awful young to be a doctor."

Edward grinned and told the man, "It's all in the genetics."

The valet pulled up with the car, we got in and took off. In the side mirror I could see the man watch us pull away.

"Edward what was with that man?"

"I sincerely doubt he was a Lord, and I didn't like how he was leering at you."

"Do you honestly think he was going to be a problem for us?"

For the first time in a long time I saw anger and fear in his eyes. "Yes and his thoughts were not consistent. His intentions kept changing and none of them were good." I could see Edward tense up as he talked about it so I let it go. Before I realized Edward had pulled the car into the rental lot at the airport from which it was rented. He asked me to lock the doors and stay here. He went in and talked to the attendant. The two of them came out and I heard Edward tell the woman, "I think something maybe wrong with the electrical. The heater and defogger shut off when you hit a bump and come back on if you hit another. My poor wife was freezing on the way to the theater. I thought you may want to check it out just in case it was something serious. I would hate for it to catch fire or something."

"I am so sorry Dr. Cullen, Daniel will be bringing up a replacement to use for the night." She had Edward sign some paperwork. The second car pulled in just behind ours and the kid got out. He walked over and opened the door for me and helped me out. He opened the door on the second car and closed it after I got in.

We took off and headed back towards Cambridge.

"What was all that about?"

"Just a precaution."

"Why do you think that guy got our plate number?"

"Just a precaution, I didn't want to take any chances. It's ok Bella."

We drove in silence the rest of the way. When pulled into the drive at the villa, Carlisle and Esme were walking up the drive. Carlisle looked concerned about the car. As we got out of the car Edward looked at Carlisle and said, "I'll explain it when we are inside."

We went inside and Esme pulled her coat off. She had on the beautiful green dress Alice had picked out. It looked wonderful on her. She and I went in the living room to exchange stories about our evening; they had gone to a Ball. I felt uneasy because Edward had been so bothered. He was in the other room telling Carlisle about the man at the theater. Carlisle told Edward to relax and he was just over reacting. He told Edward that was quick thinking to change out the rental. After their talk Edward started to relax and admitted maybe he did over react. We said good night to Carlisle and Esme.

When we got into our villa, I told Edward I wanted to get out of this dress.

"I want to get you out of that dress too." He was flashing his crooked smile again. I turned the corner into the bedroom. I quickly unzipped the dress and tossed at him.

"Let me guess, this is the second part of my Valentine's present right." I hear him whisper thanks to god, then he followed me in.
