Why is it that when you want time to fly by it never does? Seriously! Its like time has no problem aging us but when we are looking forward to something it decides to slow down. Take this week for example. Other then Alice's crazy outburst on Saturday, the day went great. The girls had helped me come up with the perfect evening for Emmett and I and had helped be get everything I needed for it. I have to admit that when Rose brought us into her favorite store filled with lingerie, lotions, sex toys, and other adult novelty items, I started to lose me nerve. The girls however weren't having it, each one grabbing a basket for their own purchases and handing me one for mine. Fifteen minutes later both Alice and Rose had almost full baskets and mine was still empty. They looked at my basket and then at each other. Rose grabbed my arm and pulled me behind her. I watched as she grabbed two pairs of black fur lined handcuffs, an assortment of something called motion lotion, and other random oils and edible body paints. Next they dragged be over to where the lingerie was and started picking out bra and panty sets, all skimpy and leaving very little to the imagination. While Rose was doing that Alice was looking at corsets, teddies, and babydolls. I watched as she searched through them finally pulling out what she considered the perfect piece for me. It was a deep, purple mesh babydoll with flyaway front, bow accents, and halter neck tie and came with a matching ruffled thong. She threw it into my basket and then took the basket from me and brought it up to the counter to pay for our purchases. After that we got lunch, shopped for a few new outfits and caught a movie.
Sunday we just lazed about until the guys got home. I was excited to see my Emmett. Even though he had only been gone for a day, I had missed him a lot. We all hung out at home, and the guys told us about what they did while they were in Dallas, including the incident in the hotel room between Emmett and Jasper. Needless to say Rose burst out laughing when she heard this, while Alice blushed furiously, causing us to tell them about Alice and my incident. While both Jasper and I were upset with our significant others, we forgave them for their stupidity. Jasper however told Alice that she was cut off from sex for the next couple of days, for doubting his love for her. She was less then thrilled with that punishment. Emmett thought it was hilarious until I told him that he wasn't allowed to touch me for the same duration, and this meant kissing too. I know that in a way we were punishing ourselves also but I would deal with it, after all I was slightly pissed that he would doubt me so easily.
The rest of the week was uneventful, each day dragging by slowly. Alice was at the point of a sexual breakdown, and the tension seemed to just ooze off of her. I was honestly waiting for her to club Jasper over the head and drag him up to their room. Emmett wasn't any better, sulking around the house looking like someone just ran over his puppy. By 5:00 pm Wednesday Jasper was in need himself and decided to end Alice's punishment. We didn't see them again until Thursday afternoon. When Emmett heard this he wrapped his arms around me and refused to let go, kissing me over and over and saying that he was never letting me go again. Come Thursday night everything was back to normal and I was looking forward to Friday, and our little trip.
Friday afternoon, after class I rushed home to get ready to leave. The guys had already packed up Emmett's stuff and I still had to pack mine. I ran up to my room and found Alice standing there with my already pack duffel bag in her hand.
"You're all set sweetheart. I hope you don't mind but I got you a little something to wear tonight. I know you are planning to have your special night tomorrow, but that doesn't mean you can't look good tonight too." I eyed her suspiciously. "Don't worry its a satin pajama set, shorts and a top. Also I got you a matching robe that you can wear tonight and then tomorrow you can use it to cover up your little surprise outfit" I walked over an hugged her tightly to me.
"I love you pixie. You know that right?" She smiled up at me.
"Of course you love me, I mean how could you not. I'm Alice!" She laughed, pulling away from me and motioning to herself. We were still laughing when Rose came into the room.
"Eddie just texted me. They are coming up the road now." I looked at the both of them, and I could feel myself getting giddy. Emmett still didn't know about this weekend but the guys had taken care of packing a bag for him after he left this morning and they made sure that anything he may have had scheduled for this weekend was canceled. I grabbed my bag and followed the girls downstairs, just in time to see th guys walk through the door. Jasper gave me a quick wink as he flew up the stairs to grab Emmett's bag. I put my bag down on the floor and flew into Emmett's awaiting arms, pressing my lips against his, devouring his sweetness. After a minute or so we pulled away to take some much needed breaths.
"Hows my girl today?" He asked, his arms still pressing me against him. I gazed up at him, feeling myself getting lost in his eyes as usual.
"I'm good baby!" I answered, watching as his eyes shifted over to glance down at my bag and then back at me.
"Are you going somewhere babe?" He asked, looking slightly confused. Before I could answer Jasper came down the stairs holding Emmett's bag and answered for me.
"Nope!" He said handing Emmett his bag. "You are both going somewhere. Surprise!" He just looked at us all, still not completely understanding what was going on. Alice started laughing, walking over and placing her hand on her brother's arm.
"You really are not the brightest crayon in the box, are you." He looked down at her as she shook her head, "Read my lips. You. Bella. Romantic weekend for two. Get it?" I watched as he blinked a few times, taking in her words, before he turned to me excited. He picked me up and swung me around.
"Seriously, babe! Just me and you, all weekend!" I smiled down at him and kissed him softly as he placed my feet back on the floor. I nodded at him, his excitement fueling mine. "Where are we going?" I smiled slyly at him as I picked up my bag.
"You will just have to wait and find out." I said grabbing his arm and pulling hi out the door. "Bye you guys. See you Sunday night." They waved goodbye as we jumped into my Silverado and went on our way.

I know I must have looked completely stupid when they were all trying to tell me that Bella and I were going away for the weekend, but I thought that I was hearing things. Bella and I had never had a whole day alone let alone a whole weekend. A whole weekend of having my Bella all to myself....hmmm. I know what I'd like to do to her this weekend.
Mind out of the gutter there big boy!
I know, I know , but one can hope.
True but only when shes ready. I was pulled from my inner battle when I heard Bella say we had arrived. I looked up at the sign that welcomed us to San Antonio. San Antonio! I quickly looked over at her and saw the smile on her lips.
"Are we going babe? Are we?!" Her smile got wider and she shrugged her shoulders as if to say she wasn't sure. I knew that she was messing with me but i didn't care. I could feel myself getting even more excited. I know that I probably looked like a five year old on Christmas morning at this point but I didn't care. There was one place that I had always wanted to go, ever since my grandfather had told me the stories about it and it was here in San Antonio. The Alamo. I don't know why but the history of it intrigued me and to be able to go there had always been something I had wanted to do.
We pulled into the Hotel Valencia, grabbing our things, and went to check in. Our suite was great, with a separate living area with a 42" flat panel color TV, an over sized leather couch and armchair, desk, private bar, and a small table and two chairs for eating on. There was a balcony that overlooked the gardens below and also provided a wonderful view of the city. The bedroom had a large king size bed, chest of drawers, a few nightstands, and a chaise lounge that was in front of another balcony. The bathroom had a large walk-in shower and separate soaking tub, in addition to double sinks and a separate vanity area. After we unpacked our stuff we decided to order room service and decided to watch the sunset as we ate on the balcony. Afterwards I threw on my flannel pajama pants and t-shirt while Bella put on a pajama set that I'm guessing Alice bought for her. We then settled into each others arms and watched movies until Bella fell asleep in my arms. I turned off the tv and carried her into the bedroom, placing her in the bed and then climbing in beside her, pulling her into me and holding her as close to me as possible. I drifted off to sleep loving the feeling of her in my arms and knowing that even though I wanted so much more with her, I could live with just this if I had to.
I woke up the next morning, my arms empty. I reached over only to find out that Bella was gone. I looked around the room, glancing at the open bathroom door. Well, shes not in there. I thought as I climbed out of bed and headed into the living room. There I found Bella sitting at the table reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. I walked behind her and kissed her temple.
"Good morning beautiful." I said walking over to the bar and pouring myself a cup of coffee. She looked over at me smiling.
"Hey there handsome. I ordered us breakfast." She motioned to the plate of food waiting for me.
"Great. I'm starved." I said sitting down and digging in. We sat in silence while we finished our meal and then while I cleaned up Bella went to take her shower and when she was done I took mine. When I was done I put a towel around me waist and headed back into the bedroom to get ready. Bella had placed an outfit on the bed for me, which consisted of jeans and blue t-shirt, which I threw on. I was just finishing putting on my boots when Bella walked in, causing my jaw to drop. She was wearing gray skinny jeans that were tucked into a pair of dark, purple boots, a dark, purple cami with lace trim, purple,white, and black rubber bracelets, and her hair was pushed back with a gray rope
knotted headband. I walked up to her and pressed my lips to hers. "Baby. You are like sex on legs. You know that right." She pulled away blushing wildly.
"Come on crazy. We have a big day ahead of us." She grabbed my hand and pulled me along behind her. We left the hotel and got into Bella's truck and headed to the Alamo. We went into the old church to look at the exhibits of artifacts, including a flintlock rifle used in the battle; a Bowie knife, and more. We walked through the Alamo Gardens with their carefully manicured lawns and flower beds, took in the Wall of History, and the Long Barrack Museum. We stayed until closing, not missing one thing. We were getting into the truck when Bella's phone rang.
"Whats up pixie?" Alice. "You did what? Alice I wasn't prep...Oh. Okay then. Thanks." I watched as she flipped her phone shut.
"Everything okay babe." I said fastening my seat belt. She started the truck and pulled out onto the main road, before answering.
"Well it seems that Alice made reservations for us at Citrus, the restaurant in the hotel. She said that she has taken care of our wardrobes for this evening too and that our outfits should be in the room when we get back." I had to laugh at this. Even when she is miles away from us she still finds a way to control what we wear. We spent the rest of the ride talking about Alice's obsession and how now that Jasper was studying to be a therapist he could get her the help that she so terribly needed.
Sure enough, when we walked in the room we found to dark clothing bags, one with my name on it and the other with Bella's. There was also a note addressed to the both of us.
Dear Bells and Emmy,
Its about time you two made time for yourselves and because of this the four of us decided to pitch in for a romantic dinner for two. You have reservations, for 7 pm and you will find a prepaid credit card for you to use in with this note, don't worry there is plenty of money on there. We hope you guys are having fun and we love you both.
Love
Ali, Jazz, Rose, and Edward
I looked at Bella, whose eyes were now brimming with tears. I leaned down and kissed her. "They really are something. We couldn't ask for better friends." She nodded in agreement and then looked at the time. It was 6:00 so we started to get ready. My bag contained a pair of black slacks, a black button down shirt, and peach colored tie. Alice had also gotten me dress shoes, which honestly I could have done without. I got dressed and then headed into the living area to wait for Bella who was in the bathroom. It was about ten of when I heard the door to the bedroom open. I turned and once again my mouth hung open. Is there anything that does not look gorgeous on her. These were my thoughts as I took in my girl. She was wearing a strapless black dress that had three layered ruffles with peach colored satin trim and satin sash waist tie. She was wearing peach colored high heels, layered bead necklace, and jeweled bracelet, and was carrying a peach colored clutch. I know I shouldn't know so much about women's clothing and accessories, but you try having Alice for a sister and see what happens.
"Sweetheart. You look breath taking." I said as I walked over to her moving her curls that were hanging down her shoulders and back, so I could kiss her cheek. I extended my arm for her to take and said, "Shall we, me lady?" She giggled as she placed her arm through mine and curtsied.
"Why yes kind sir, we shall." And with that we headed down to enjoy our romantic dinner for two.
Next chapter will be the moment you have all been waiting for. I want to make sure I do it right so please be patient with me. It has been written but I have some one looking it over for me before I post it.
