When I Fall in Love

Once again thanks for all the reviews. Sorry I haven't been able to respond to you all personally. Work is busy, I do crappy hours and I write at the most ungodly hours. I really do appreciate every review I receive. Thank You all. Enjoy as we near the end of this Bella and Edward love story.

Chapter 25

BPOV

I was getting as bad as Alice or at the very least she was rubbing off on me. I was like a kid in a sweetie shop. On our flight to LA I was so hyper even the stewardess gave us a wide berth. Edward chuckled and smiled his most lovely smile at everyone. I think all the other passengers felt sorry for him.

LAX was manic, it was so big and so busy. Everyone dashing around at a hundred miles per hour. I was relieved when we were outside and heading towards a waiting Jasper in the car park. Hugs and kisses all around settle me down a bit. Jazz had arranged for a hire car to be waiting for Edward and I at their place. We needed to be mobile whilst we were here. I wanted to look at a couple of school locations, although because it was the holidays I couldn't actually look around inside. It gave me the opportunity to rule out schools that were too far away from our new house or that I didn't like the look of.

Our hire car was a sleek Merc convertible, it felt right for the city but wrong for us. Edward and I weren't flashy car people. Edward drives a Volvo for gods sake. The car would serve its purpose whilst we were here and get us around. I might even catch a few rays too. Our first appointment is at four o'clock, we're to meet with our estate agent and solicitor to sign the final agreement and collect our keys. Edward and I keep glancing at each other, we are both so excited. A whole new chapter in our lives is about to start, a home of our own in a new city, new jobs and as newly weds. The wedding was coming upon us thick and fast now. I can't wait.

The solicitors office is light open and airy. An efficient receptionist shows us to a room where we wait for the others to join us. My hands are shaking as I sign my name on the deed. My signature looks appalling compared to Edward's elegant script. When two lots of keys are handed over I cannot stop a squeal of delight escaping from me. Edward laughs.

Driving through LA on our way to the house scares me to death, there is so much traffic and some of the areas look decidedly unsafe. Once we are out on the coastal highway and heading up into the hills I feel a sense of calm. The scenery is stunning as we climb higher and higher. The houses around here are few and far between all huge and no doubt belonging to someone famous or hugely important. When we finally reach the turn off into our little estate we are met at the security barrier by a huge man with the name Billy. We complete forms and have our photo's taken for our ID card's, entry into the estate is by way of a barrier. Once we are settled our new cars will be fitted with a chip that the high tech security barrier can read as we approach. It will automatically let us in. No one will be allowed entry to our private road unless security is expecting them or they have a chipped car. I think to myself its all a bit too James Bond for me. Do Edward and I need this level of security? Probably not but if we can afford it why not. At least we'll feel safe

I refuse to let him carry me over the threshold today, he can do that when we come back for good as man and wife. Today I just want to get a feel for the place. Every wall is painted cream, I have a blank canvas with which to work. The kitchen fittings and tiles are perfect, just as I would have chosen. The sleek marble floors throughout a natural stone colour. Its so quiet, I jump a bit when Edward comes up behind me holding our camping gear for tonight. We've brought a double airbed and champagne. Alice bless her has packed us a picnic basket full of sandwiches and pastries.

I make notes as we go from room to room. A list of our requirements and colour schemes is agreed upon by both of us. We have already chosen and ordered the main furniture. It will be arriving before we go back to New York.

Hand in hand we take in the cool early evening air and sit on our patio steps champagne glasses in hand.

"Cheers love, here's to new beginnings and a life time of happiness. I love you Bella." Edward says gazing deeply into my now misted over eyes.

" Oh Edward I love you so much, I cannot wait to start our new life here. It's perfect just like you." I lean into him and place a gentle kiss on his lips.

We sit for a good while longer just enjoying the peace and tranquility of the setting. Knowing it is ours and we can do this every day if we want to makes me smile. We both automatically know when its time to go in and call it a night. We had already prepared our blow up bed. We'd howled with laughter earlier trying to get the air compressor to work properly. I wasn't convinced we wouldn't wake up on a flat mattress on the hard cold floor. It was an adventure if nothing else. I had remembered to bring toiletries so we were able to take a long hot shower. We had done so together but nothing happened, I think we were both a bit nervous, silly really. We knew each other so well, maybe we would wait until we were married to christen our new house. Maybe! Yeh I seriously doubted I was going to be able to keep my hands off him all night never mind until after the wedding. I

It was Edward who remembered to buy a duvet, I was so busy stressing over the airbed and compressor covers went completely out of my head. Good job my husband to be is so organised. Snuggled under the duvet naked next to the man I adore is like a dream come true. I can feel sleep taking over me, I want to make love with him but I'm so tired. I cannot fight the pull of a good nights sleep.

When I wake the birds are singing and its light. It still feels early and Edward is still hard and fast asleep next to me. His arm draped across my stomach. I need to use the bathroom but I don't want to disturb him. I do however manage to crawl out from under his arm without waking him. In the bathroom I take the opportunity to freshen up a bit. I brush my teeth and try to sort out my bed hair.

As I crawl back under the covers he turns and looks into my eyes.

"Thought you'd left me Swan."

"Never, not in a million lifetimes."

"Good to hear, you smell all minty. You have me at a disadvantage I've got morning breath."

"Good job I'm not going to kiss you then isn't it Dr Cullen."

"You aren't?"

"Not your mouth anyway" I say with a giggle.

I show him exactly what I mean. I make love to my husband to be and he lets me. He moans and groans in appreciation of my worshipping his body. His manhood strains for attention. I cannot refuse and spend the next few minutes giving it all the attention it deserves. He's near completion I can tell his breathing is now laboured and his stomach muscles are tight. I decide I want him inside me when he releases. I drop a tiny kiss on its head as I move back up his body. I don't care about his morning breath anymore I have dick breath now anyway. I pull his bottom lip into my mouth and suck it hard. He matches me kiss for kiss. I have always loved kissing Edward even now in the throes of hot sex kissing him means so much more. The realisation of this takes my breath away.

I slip over his manhood and let it find what it is seeking. I grant him full access to my hot, extremely wet core. He feels so good as he fills me up with his length. I control our pace for now. I raise my hips and make him almost slip from me. I make sure his tip remains inside and thrust down to take him back into me over and over again. The sensations are so intense. Edward's eyes are closed his face tells a story of the things he is feeling. Every thrust has him grimacing in both agony and ecstasy. He flips us over and takes control. His pace now hard and fast. He needs his release. I have already cum around him and am near to doing so again.

"Edward, please I need you so badly, give it to me please baby."

"Bella I love you so fucking much, you, this is so incredible."

We fall over the precipice together. He collapses onto me but somehow his weight is not uncomfortable. It makes me feel even closer to him. Our breathing takes a while to get back to normal. We lay content in each others arms.

"Wow Bella that was something else."

"It certainly was love, problem is Dr that you now have an awful lot to live up to." I say teasing him.

He rolls his eyes at me and gets up. I stare at his beautiful naked form as he walks slowly to the bathroom. I cannot resist following him quietly. The shower is christened this morning too.

Once we are clean and dressed for the day, we take off and head to the nearest café bar for breakfast. The first lot of furniture is arriving at three and Alice and Jazz are meeting us at the house to help us move stuff into place. Breakfast of hot croissants soaked in butter and jam are just what we need. The weather is good, not too hot we are both in shorts and sunglasses.

" I could get used to living like this love." I tell him in between a sip of my hot latte.

"You will I'm sure, we'll have to make sure we take the time to explore and find quirky little places like this. We'll have to make a list of places to go we like." he says laying his head back taking in some rays.

We walk around the immediate area for half an hour just getting a feel of the place. One of our security men Billy told us which way to head. He's a nice guy, he told us there are six of them working the gate, they also manage the gardening crews and manage all the maintenance crews when and if work required. Their names are Joe, Paulie, Jonno, Chris and Davey. He assures us they are all good guys, all ex military. I suppose having two A list Hollywood superstars to look after well trained security is key. I still feel its all too OTT for Edward and I.

Back at the house the furniture van arrives, Alice and Jazz pull up at almost the same time. Today we're getting the sofa and lounge chairs, the dining room suite and the bedroom furniture. Another shop are delivering stuff like bed linens, towels and the like after four o'clock. The delivery men put everything in whatever room we want. Alice and Jazz aren't needed really and spend looking around getting a feel for the place.

"It's got a lovely private feels guys, you did well with your choice." Jazz remarks

"Alice did well to find it for us" I reply truthfully.

"She sure did." Edward says wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

When the delivery men leave we spend time pulling and pushing the furniture around. When we are happy with all its positioning I go to the fridge and open a bottle of wine I had brought yesterday. Chinking of glasses and much celebration follows as Alice and Jazz welcome us to LA and our new home. The linens, towels etc all arrive and Alice and I put those all away. Kitchen cupboards are filled with new crockery and drawers are full of cutlery. I even find a home for the twenty bale towel set Edward ordered. I place two in each bathroom and place the rest in the airing cupboard. It's starting to feel like home a bit now.

Tonight we'll sleep in our new marital bed. We'd both chosen a queen sized solid oak bed frame. The natural oak colour would go great with the sage and gold theme I'd chosen for our room. Edward agreed. It was perfect. Alice helped me make up the bed, the sheets were crisp Egyptian cotton and huge. Once the dressing was done I stood back and admired our work.

"Not bad Miss Cullen not bad at all." I say laughing.

This brings Edward and Jazz into the room.

"It looks great love, the colours look amazing with the cream walls. It will be our sanctuary." he drops a quick kiss on my head.

A swift rap on the front door surprises me. I didn't think we'd be getting any unexpected visitors living here. Edward and I walk towards the door together.

It's Billy, he's holding a huge bouquet of flowers and a handful of mail.

"Sorry to disturb you folks, thought I'd bring these up for you Miss Swan, Dr Cullen and deliver your mail by hand today. It will normally be delivered by one of us to the mailbox at the end of your drive. I just wanted to say on behalf of all the guys. Welcome to your new home."

" Thank you Billy for your kind welcome, please pass on our thanks to the rest of the guys. Once we're here permanently we'll call into the gate house and introduce ourselves to everyone properly." Edward says.

I'm walking back into the lounge with the flowers. A small card tucked inside is printed with a short note reading

Welcome to the street... Rob and Kristen.

How lovely even though they weren't here they had not forgotten we were moving in. It made me smile.

Edward rolled his eyes when he saw the note, he knew my soft stop for Rob just got a whole lot bigger. I laughed with him, I loved this man more than my own life. We were going to have a wonderful life together.

Our time in LA came to end all too soon. We had to get back to New York and finalise the wedding plans. I hated leaving the house our home now. I suppose I should be content knowing that the next time we come here its for good and we'll be married.

New York was much cooler than LA even in the height of summer. I hoped the weather would hold for our wedding. The gazebo only held Edward and I as well as the minister. I'd let Esme worry about the weather. Everything was done. The only things left were the flowers on the day and the wedding party meal a couple of nights before.

Charlie was flying in early, he was staying with Carlisle and Esme. The wedding party meal went off without a hitch. Everyone got along and I relaxed a little more. I'd been feeling really really tired I suppose the whole house and wedding thing took more out of me than I cared to admit.

Tomorrow I would spend the night alone, no Edward to cuddle up to. I felt bereft I know it was only one night but I'd miss him like crazy. He was not only my lover and soon to be husband he was my best friend and my rock. The way I feel about him scares me sometimes its so intense I need him like I need air to breathe. My saving grace is that I know he feels the same way about me.

Tonight we are both quiet, we just sit quietly holding hands sharing a glass of wine. Going to bed tonight we walk slowly hand in hand. I feel silly, its tradition before your wedding not to see the groom. I hate the stupid tradition. I curl around him, my head on his chest, no need for sex tonight our feelings are crystal clear just laying here with each other.

I'm driving up to The Hampton's tomorrow with Esme and Alice, we'll stay at the house so that all the fitting and make up etc can be done the next day. Edward and the men will drive up the morning of the wedding.

Saying goodbye is so hard so painful. Tears threaten in my eyes. He tells me off saying it will only be till tomorrow. It feels like a lifetime away. I don't want to let him go when the doorbell down stairs rings. He has to pull my arms from around him.

"Bella love, please don't do this. I'll see you tomorrow remember I feel exactly the same as you do. I love you remember that please." he drops a small but tender kiss on my open lips and pushes me towards the door.

As I walked away from the love of my life, my reason for being alive. I felt like I was going to die. How was I going to get through the next 24 hours without him. In the lift going down I let my head take over my thoughts. The sensible educated Bella was screaming stop being an idiot and get over it. It's 24 hours then we have the rest of our lives. Sensible Bella knows Edward loves me and is feeling just as vulnerable as me right now. The not so sensible vulnerable lack of confidence Bella is terrified I cannot get through the day without him. He is my every breath. I need him by my side to just exist. As I walk towards Esme I go into a full blown panic attack.

Luckily she sees me fall to my knees gasping for breath. She is out of the car and running to me whilst screaming at Edward on her mobile phone. How he gets to me so quickly I don't know or care. I immediately feel better once his safe strong arms wrap around me. My breathing calms down and my heart rate slows. I feel such a fool. It feels so good having him kiss my head and hair and whisper sweet nothings in my ear.

"I'm not leaving her Mum, you saw what happened, I'll drive us up to the house, you can come too. I'll stay out of your way once we're there. She needs me around Mum you can see that."

Esme agrees with him. She will go back home alone and collect Alice and Angela they will drive up later. Edward and I will go up on our own now once I've calmed right down and Edward is happy for me to travel.

I feel so foolish and tears start to fall as Esme bends down to kiss me goodbye.

"We'll see you up there Bella, you just rest up and let my son take care of you."

I'm so sorry Esme, I don't know what happened." I say in between sobs.

I used to have panic attacks before. I was almost catatonic when Edward and first split up back in the old days. The panic attacks used to be far more frequent, I'd thought they'd gone for good since getting back with Edward. Obviously not. I was under more pressure than I realised obviously. The Paul Ridgeway stuff, the house, the move and now the wedding all taking their toll.

A couple of hours later Edward said we were okay to set off. He was very caring and never strayed far from my side or sight. He was my security blanket. We held hands all the way up to the house. When we arrived he settled himself into one of the spare rooms before joining me on the patio.

"The garden is looking good love, I hear the weather is set to be fine again tomorrow."

I don't care about the garden or the weather I just want us to be married. I need to be his forever. I'm much quieter than normal, he seems almost reluctant to leave my side even when some time later Esme, Alice and Angela show up. Their arms are full of goodies for our girly night. I'm embarrassed for poor Edward now having to be here on his own whilst us girls enjoy my last night of freedom.

A long passionate kiss and big hug later he makes his way to his room. I pod in hand. I feel so much better knowing he is near. We sit out on the patio and get through three bottles of wine, well Esme, Alice and Angela do I make do with a solitary glass.

I'm tired, worn out actually I assume from the attack earlier and knowing tomorrow is our big day. I make my excuses and say goodnight. They are still on the patio so I sneak into Edward's room. What they don't know won't kill them I know he won't turn me away.

My eyes feast on my delicious husband to be. He is laid on the top of the bed dressed only in a pair of black PJ bottoms. His eyes are shut and he is listening to music. Occasionally he make the odd movement with his hand like he's drumming or playing the guitar. I could stand and watch him all night. He obviously senses being watched and his eyes meet mine. A wry smile reaches his lips. He motions for me to join him on the bed.

"Far too many clothes Bella" he whispers as he pulls me down onto the bed with him. It takes me only seconds to strip off down to my undies. Tonight is not about sex its about us being together almost like the first night in our new house. He gets up and rifles through his bag. He throws me a baggy t shirt, I immediately remove my bra and pants and slip his t shirt over my head.

Cuddled up next to him, my head resting on his chest makes everything alright. No more worries, no more panic attacks. He turns out the light so we won't be disturbed. There is no reason why anyone should come into my or Edward's room before eight in the morning. I set an alarm for seven so I can high tall it back to mine before anyone discovers I've not slept alone.

We are both content to just be together, hold each other, talk quietly. Kiss occasionally. He makes me feel whole, he completes me. I must drift off and so must he. We are woken up early when Alice crashes into the bedroom screaming to Edward

"She's gone Edward, Bella has gone."

She comes to an immediate halt when she sees us in the bed together

"No she hasn't Mum she's here with Edward just where she shouldn't be. Bella what were you told about not seeing the groom before the wedding? Edward you knew the rules why did you let her stay?"

She actually sounds mad with us. We both ignore her. I snuggle even closer to him and we pull the covers over us. Esme joins Alice and it is encouraging when we hear her tinkling laughter. She knows we just want to be together, she shuts the bedroom door telling Alice to leave us be. She knows we'll get up and ready when we have to.

I pull myself up so I can look into his face. He is so beautiful, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Today I get to keep him for good. I cannot resist touching his face delicately with my fingers. He sighs and snuggles into my touch. When I lean down and kiss him I feel totally alive. No fears today, I feel like I can conquer the world when he is close by my side.

"Edward about yesterday, I'm so sorry for spoiling your plans with the boys. I just think the house, the move and everything got to me. Being here with you like this has healed me. I feel a million dollars today thanks to you."

"Bella you are my number one priority, seeing you like that scared me to death. If I can't help with woman I love when she needs me most there is no hope. A night out with the boys can always happen after we're married Bella. I needed you to be okay for whats going down here today."

We are getting married in less than eight hours. Outside the bedroom pandemonium reigns. I suppose we better get up and start getting ready for the day.

Esme lets us eat breakfast together much to Alice's disgust. We sit and stare at each other, holding hands under the table. When the rest of the men arrive Edward is whisked away from me and even I can laugh at his unhappy face.

"I'll see you in the gazebo at four my love." I shout as he's pulled away by Jazz, Carlisle and Charlie.

Esme is watching me closely or any reaction.

"I'm fine today honestly. Spending last night with Edward healed me completely Esme honestly. I just needed to be with him thats all. Can I tell you something, sleeping in your son's arms makes me feel so safe, so loved I cannot fail having his love and strength on my side. Know this Esme no one will ever love him like I do."

"I've known that since we lived in Forks Bella. Just try to heal yourself for you too."

"I will I promise, once today is over and we are moved into our new home I can start to really deal with all that has happened. I think we both need this fresh start."

Things really start to motor once lunch is over with Alice is still sulking, she thinks we set bad omens free spending the night together. Angela keeps her out of my way bless her.

The cake, the flowers the food all arrive and are expertly set out by a whirlwind otherwise known as Alice. I'm left to the stylist to be preened and coiffured. I'm buffed and waxed to within an inch of my life. Its time for the dress. It is as lovely as I remember and feels like a dream when its slipped over my head. It fits like a glove. I feel a million dollars. I must remember the name of the designer Reem Acra. Something to tell our grand children.

The finishing touches are put to my make which is very subtle anyway. I've never been one for caking make up on. I like to see eyes accentuated or lips high lighted, nothing too OTT. Alice works wonders with my make up today even though she still isn't talking to me. I feared at first she would make me look like a court jester but no she is the bigger person and makes me look beautiful.

When I stand up I can see tears in her eyes.

"Bella you look absolutely amazing, he is going to be blown away."

She dries her eyes and walks me to a full length mirror. I can hardly take in what or who I am seeing. Isabella Swan the klutz from Forks looks like something from a Milan runway. Now my eyes are misting up. A cough from behind me reveals my Dad Charlie. He cannot even get a word out, his tears fall freely.

"Bella sweetheart you look wonderful, I am so proud of you."

I walk up to him and kiss his wet cheek.

"Come on Dad lets get this show on the road."

I'm eager now to marry my handsome prince. When the music starts it all sound a little familiar. As Charlie and I walk towards the gazebo I realise it's the musicians from Central Park.

Then I see him. In all his glory he is stood looking like a god the smile on his face is for me. I feel so lucky that he loves me. When I reach him. He moves to shake Charlie's hand and I hear him thank him for giving us his blessing. Then he turns to me and slowly takes my hand, his eyes never leave mine. He mouths to me 'hey beautiful you look amazing.'

Our guest fade into obscurity as I don't even take in what the minister is saying. It takes a gentle squeeze from Edward's hand on mine to bring me back to reality. I was off in some far away place somewhere I like to call heaven. We make our vows in front of god and our family and friends. When the minister finally tells him to kiss his bride he pulls me to him and kisses me breathless.

Cheering and clapping from our guests remind us we are not alone. Everyone joins us in celebrating our marriage. At speech time Edward talks about our past, our present and our future. No one is in any doubt we were made for each other. The weather and whole day has been perfect. Now as Twilight comes upon us the guests start to take their leave. Carlisle, Esme, Alice and Jasper are staying at a local hotel so we can have the house to ourselves. We don't leave for our secret honeymoon until tomorrow. Charlie is flying back to Forks later tonight, Carlisle will drive him to the airport. He can't stay he has work tomorrow.

When we are alone I join my new husband on the patio. I'm still in my wedding dress. I was going to change but Edward said not to, he wanted to take the dress off me later. He looks great still although more casual now, his shirt is open at the collar and he has rolled the sleeves up. I think he looks as sexy as hell. I cannot resist chewing my bottom lip in anticipation of what will happen later. When Edward looks up and sees what I am doing he is on me in a flash.

He carries me bridal style through the house and into the master suite. The room is lit by hundreds of tiny tea lights and the bed is covered in thousands upon thousand of rose petals. The smell in the room is heady and adds to the feeling of sexiness. He stands me up in front of the bed and kisses me slowly, our passion grows with each movement. His hands roam over me until they find the zip on the back of my wedding gown.

"Ye know I'll have fantasy forever about you in this dress Bella but right now it has to go."

I groan into his mouth as he deepens our kiss. As the dress falls away it reveals an ivory teddy and matching pair of boy shorts. Edwards eyes grow even larger as he swallows and tries to remain in control. I start to fumble with his shirt buttons not wanting him in more clothes than me. I struggle a bit so decide I'm better going straight for his trousers. His belt and zip are easier. He steps out of the trousers and unbuttons the rest of his shirt for me.

I watch in amazement as he strips off for me. I can feel my pants getting wetter by the second. I can smell my own arousal, I know he can smell it too. Our eyes lock and we move at the same time. This first time as man and wife is quick our need is too great to spend time on foreplay and taking our time. I want him right now. He doesn't let me down.

We make love many times during the course of the evening and night. Waking each other up desperate to fill a craving. Finally sated we sleep as dawn breaks.

When his alarm goes off I want to turn it off and sleep the rest of the day away. He won't let me. We have to get ready for our honeymoon. He tells me I'm already packed, Alice and Esme have taken care of all that for me. I'm a little frustrated that I'm not allowed to choose my own honeymoon attire.

"Bella that would give the game away" is all he keeps telling me.

At the airport we are flying from East Hampton I know from the size of this place means we are going wherever it is we are going by private jet. Edward loves to spend money. I need to get him to understand that I don't need fancy cars, flashy holidays all I need is him.

Even once we are on board I am non the wiser. The crew are obviously in on the secret because even when the captain speaks to us he never mentions our destination. He tells us the flying time only and hopes we enjoy the flight. Some hours later we are told to fasten our seatbelts as we prepare to land. Edward won't let me look out of the window. He is being very unfair.

As we taxi to a halt the crew open the doors and I am hit with blast of hot dry air. Down the steps off the plane we are greeted by a chauffeur who guides us to his waiting vehicle. I can see we are on an island I can see the sea around us. It looks tropical. I still have no idea where we are though...

I've just read on the internet that the honeymoon scenes are to be filmed in and around Brazil next week. Rob Kristen and Taylor are flying out there to prep for filming. Have to ask why would Taylor be going on their honeymoon? I've seen a previous interview saying that the honeymoon scenes will be filmed wherever on a closed set with just Rob, Kristen the director and camera crew. Why do these internet sites make up stories like this. Do they really think we believe them?

Any thoughts where Edward and Bella are on their honeymoon? let me know
