Chapter 28

The Happiest Place on Earth

The trial lasted two days. I was due on the witness stand the second day. My Dad and Mom went to the courthouse the first day to listen to the trial. I was a nervous wreck the following day. Edward insisted on coming with me. I didn't want him there although I felt comforted by his presence. They were going to make me out to be a bad person; that I was leading James on, giving him the wrong ideas.

It was not until after lunch that they called me to the stand. As soon as I got up there they asked me about attending school in Phoenix, my grades, cheerleading, and of course, about my partying. They asked if I'd ever talked to James at school or while he hung out with Victoria. I informed them that I rarely saw him with Victoria and I haddn't even really known him.

They tried to imply that my drinking might have gotten in the way of my memory; Mr. Webber objected. I was proud of myself because not once did I start to cry. They were done speaking to me and my attorney asked only a few questions, mainly about my volunteerism and grades. I guessed he was trying to show that I was a good student.

The cased closed and the verdict was now in the jury's hands.

Three hours and fifteen minutes later, the jury reached their verdict. James was found guilty on all charges and was sentenced to three years in the state prison system. I felt like it was not long enough, as he would be out in about a year and a half. He was never to make contact with me or be in the same vicinity as I was. It was not comforting.

"Come on, Baby, let's go," I heard Edward whisper to me. The trial was over but I was still sitting there waiting for what… I don't know.

"It's over Bells," I heard my Dad say. I nodded but I didn't feel relief. James needed help and I didn't think going to prison was going to help him.

Edward, my parents and I went to dinner after since we were in Seattle and then made the three hour trip back home. I fell asleep on the way back. I hadn't even woken up to Edward get out and get into his car to go home. Did he tell me "bye"?

I walked up to the house and went to my room, but sleep did not find me. I started hearing a lot of different noises. Even though I knew James was not able to get me, I couldn't help but think someone else was. I called Edward who answered on the first ring.

"Did you tell me bye when you left?" I asked when he answered the phone.

He chuckled. "Yes."

"Oh, I guess I was tired. I'm awake now though," I said, feeling really insecure that I wanted him to come over so I could sleep.

"Would it be too much trouble to ask you to come over? I can't sleep," I asked.

"Your Dad won't mind, will he?" Edward asked. I told him 'no' and that I would talk to him to let him know he was coming over, even though it was well after midnight.

"He might stay the night, I can't sleep," I added after telling my Dad about Edward's visit.

His response, "Keep your door open."

I led Edward to my room and I lay on my bed. I patted the space next to me so he would come beside me. I cuddled into his arms and I was out in minutes.

We all made plans to go to Florida and when I say we, I don't mean just Edward and I, like previously planned.

My parents decided that the same week Edward and I were going they were also going to look at some houses.

Jasper, Alice, Emmett and Rose were meeting us in Florida to take the cruise to the Bahamas the following week.

Edward gave me a ticket for the cruise the day after graduation, stating that it was a graduation present, Valentine's Day present, and any other holiday we missed while we had been broken up. He said he got a good deal and not to make a big deal about it. I knew he was lying, but I gave in anyway. There was no reason to argue over something that he had already bought.

I sat next to Edward on the plane and my parents sat in front of us. I pulled the shade down when we took off. I pulled out my book, sat back in the seat and started reading. I read for awhile but started getting agitated about three hours into the flight. I got up to use the restroom; Edward just gave me a look. I stayed in there a few minutes catching my breath. I walked back to my seat and Edward took my hand, kissed it and pulled my feet up onto his lap.

"We are almost there," he whispered.

"Is Bella freaking out?" my Mom asked, turning around in her seat.

"Don't know why she does that on long flights," she giggled. I just ignored her. Why did she have to come with us anyway?

Once the plane landed we got our luggage and made our way over to the hotel. I was sharing a room with Edward no matter what my parents said. While my parents parked the car and grabbed their luggage, Edward and I checked in to our room and my Mom promised that they would not interfere, and that we should pretend they weren't there. But it confused me when she said she would see us at dinner in one hour.

"Edward, an entire week with my parents is not what I had in mind. You know they are not going to leave us alone no matter what Renee says." I was pacing the room. They had me so irritated.

"Bella, calm down, we have three days at Disneyworld and they are allowing us to share a room. Please humor them with dinner okay?" Why was he so rational?

I reluctantly agreed, so we met them for dinner after we got cleaned up. My Dad looked at us like he was expecting that there would be something different about meand he was trying to figure it out. He was freaking me out.

"What are your plans with Bella tonight?" my Dad asked Edward. I choked on my water.

"Ummm, we are pretty tired. I think we will just go to bed. I mean sleep, we will sleep," he stumbled on his words. "We need to get up early to go to Disneyworld anyway," he added.

"So Dad what will you and Mom be doing this evening - all alone in your hotel room?" Two can play that game.

"Bella!" my Dad screamed.

"I thought so, no more embarrassing questions," I told him.

Once we were done with dinner Edward and I went back to the hotel room.

"Sorry about my Dad," I told Edward.

"He just worries about you, Baby," he told me.

"I know, but seriously Edward. We are adults. Does he think I am going to be a little girl forever?" I rolled my eyes.

"You will always be his little girl, Bella," he told me. I knew that but I still think he should have trusted me.

I told Edward when we got back to the hotel that I was going to take a shower. I had bought a surprise for Edward before we left - a cupcake nightie. I was nervous all of a sudden, standing in the bathroom staring at myself in the mirror.

Taking a deep breath I walked out. Edward was laying on the bed looking at a brochure for Disneyworld, not even paying attention to me. I cleared my throat and he looked up at me.

His eyes lit up. "Baby?" Edward questioned. He held out his hand for me and I took it. He pulled me into his lap, running his hands down my sides. He reached up to move my hair away from my neck and started to kiss me. His lips on me were amazing, warm and soft; kissing and licking me with just enough pressure that my entire body tingled. I felt my pulse speeding and I might have even moaned a bit, but I didn't care.

"You are so beautiful, Bella," he whispered against my neck. It sent chills and goosebumps down my body.

I moved my legs so that I was now straddling him. I looked up into his eyes, kissing his lips softly. I pulled at the hem of his shirt lifting it up over his head and tossing it on the ground.

It was now or never; I needed him, I wanted him. We had waited so long to be together, considering all we had been through and all that I had overcome, I was ready to give myself to Edward.

Edward moved his hands down my back and back up again, but this time he lifted the nightie up. I lifted up my arms so he could remove it.

I was now straddling Edward in only my panties. We sat there for what seemed like forever just staring at each other.

Edward finally made a move and started kissing down my neck again moving one hand toward my breast, massaging it lightly with his hand. I leaned back, giving him better access, moaning slightly.

"Edward?" I breathed out.

"Hmmm?" he answered as he continued to suck and lick at my neck.

"Make love to me," I whispered.

At my words Edward looked up at me smiling.

"Are you sure you're ready?" he questioned; I just nodded.

Edward lifted me up setting me down on the bed. He grabbed my panties by the waistband, pulling them down and off.

I watched him as he took his pants and unbuttoned them pulling them down with his boxers, never breaking eye contact with me. Edward was stunning; every inch of him was beautiful. He crawled onto the bed hovering over me.

"I don't want to hurt you." He brushed the hair out of my face.

"I want this Edward, I want you. I've never been more sure of what I want than I am at this moment. You won't hurt me," I whispered.

Edward kneeled down between my legs, leaning forward to kiss my stomach; moving lower and lower, trailing his hands down my sides. He kissed my thighs, which sent another wave of chills and goosebumps over my skin. I laid there with my eyes closed.

As I felt his hands move between my legs, my breath hitched, not expecting it. He paused for a moment, but then continued. I felt him push a finger inside me, I lifted up my hips automatically as a small moan escaped my lips.

He continued moving his finger in and out of me, soon adding another finger, circling my clit and pushing back into me. I started moving my hips faster, wanting more friction. I should have been embarrassed at how wet I was, but it was the last thing on my mind.

Edward soon shifted and was hovering over me. Edward pressed himself a little closer to me. I could feel him right at my opening; waiting, teasing. I didn't know what he was waiting for. I shifted my hips up toward him to get some friction. I needed him so bad.

Edward groaned, leaning down to kiss my neck again. Inch by inch I could feel him moving in deeper. He was trying to take it as slow as possible. It was a sweet torture, but I needed more.

"Please, Edward," I begged.

In one thrust he was inside me. I winced and held my breath not expecting him to do that.

"I'm sorry, Bella," he whispered against my neck.

I shook my head. "Just give me a minute."

Once the pain subsided I lifted my hips up to let him know we could continue. He slowly started moving in and out of me, feeling him stretch me further. I wrapped my legs around his waist letting him get in deeper.

"God, Bella, you are so beautiful," he mumbled.

I pulled his head towards mine, kissing his lips, opening my mouth slightly. I brought my tongue out sliding it across his lips requesting access into his mouth. He opened his mouth and met my tongue, massaging his with mine.

Slowly, oh so very slowly, he moved in and out of me. I wanted more; always wanted more. I could never get enough of Edward. Pushing him over slightly, he had a look of concern on his face not understanding what I wanted.

"I want to ride you," I whispered to him.

Climbing on top of him, straddling him, I positioned myself over his length, sliding him into me fully. I worked my hips back and forth, enjoying this position so much more. I could feel my entire body quiver. I knew I was close to reaching my peak; I wanted to take Edward over the edge with me.

Rocking and rotating my hips faster, I whispered, "I'm so close Edward." I closed my eyes.

Edward moaned at my words, grabbing my hips, lifting me up and down harder and faster. We were both panting by this point.

That is when it happened, my toes curled and entire body was vibrating as I screamed out Edward's name, riding wave after wave of my release.

Edward continued lifting me up and down by my hips, faster and faster until I felt him explode inside me.

"Damn, Bella," Edward mumbled. Both of us - breathing heavy - were riding out the remainder of our orgasms.

Opening my eyes, I looked down at him, smiling. He pulled my head down, kissing me softly.

"That was amazing, Bella. Are you ok?" Edward questioned.

I just nodded, not wanting him to know I had pain.

He pulled me close to him holding me against his chest, kissing my head.

"I love you Bella," he whispered. I nodded as tears fell down my eyes. I am not sure why I was crying, everything was so overwhelming. I loved Edward, more than anything. Trying to hide the tears and the little amount of pain I was feeling, I got up to walk toward the bathroom.

"I think I am going to take a shower again," I told him.

After my shower, Edward was already in bed waiting for me. I crawled in, cuddling up to Edward, and he wrapped his arms around me.

"Are you sure you're okay Bella?" Edward whispered.

"I'm good, a little sore, but good." I smiled. Snuggling closer to Edward I fell into a restful sleep. The best sleep I had ever had.

The next morning I woke up to pounding on my door. I groaned and rolled over, pulling the pillow over my head. It was 7 a.m., I was on vacation, this was so wrong.

I opened the door to find my Dad smiling down at me.

"What do you want? We are sleeping." I asked him, yawning and wrapping my arms around myself.

"Thought you kids would like to join us for breakfast," he suggested.

"No, I'm going back to sleep." I walked back into my room and slammed the door closed, waking up Edward in the process. I threw myself on the bed and groaned. He was never going to let me grow up.

The shuttle from the hotel took us to Disneyworld. I was excited. Edward and I spent the day sightseeing and going on rides. The place was so big it was impossible to see it all in one day. We had a three-day pass and one of those days we were going to the water park.

Some of our time was spent with my parents unfortunately. We would have breakfast with them and then we would go off to do our thing and meet back for dinner. By the time we got back to the hotel I was exhausted.

I took a shower and fell asleep before Edward was done with his shower.

The day at the water park was lot of fun. Edward and I went on all the slides that allowed two at a time. I was chicken and didn't want to go alone.

"Make sure you put on extra sunscreen. I don't want you to get burned," Edward reminded me. My fair skin often burned within a few hours even after I applied sunscreen.

Alice called while we were on our way back to the hotel. They were arriving the next day. We were all staying in our hotel room and leaving on the cruise the next day. My parents were leaving the same day our friends were arriving.

I was tired again and slightly toasted; I think I had a little sun exhaustion. Edward helped me back to the hotel. I felt terrible. I had a headache and was dizzy. I hated that I got this way from being in the sun all day. What was going to happen to me when we got to the Bahamas'?

We said goodbye to my parents and welcomed our friends. I was glad my Mom and Dad had left. I felt like I could finally relax and not have to worry about my Dad thinking I was up to no good.

"Bella!" Alice squealed when she got to the room. She wrapped her arms around me, hugging me tightly. You would think that she had not seen me in years, instead of a few days. Emmett and Rosalie walked in next; Rose was pissed about something. Jasper was last placing six bags down next to the bed.

"Pack enough, Jasper?" Edward teased.

"This…" Jasper said, pointing to a small bag. "…is mine." He pointed to the rest. "…all of this is Alice's."

We all shook our heads, except Alice.

"What is up with you two?" Edward asked looking at Emmett and Rose. They hadn't said two words to each other or to anyone else.

"Why don't you ask the insensitive ass," Rose spat.

"Babe, come on. I said I was sorry, if you want to live together off campus that is fine with me." He tried to reach for her but she pulled away.

"Maybe you guys should go get some water and soda or something," I suggested to Edward. I thought Rose needed to talk.

After they left, Rose let out a frustrated huff and started ranting.

"I just suggested that we live together. What is the point of going to school together if we can't live together? You know what he said? He liked his space. What does that mean? He doesn't want me that close? I'd hardly say I suffocate him. I thought he would want it, that's all." I felt sorry for Rose. I thought they would move in together too.

"Well, you know Edward is getting an apartment and I am going to live in the dorm. I have to, as a condition of my scholarship. I know I will probably spend the majority of my time at Edward's anyway. Maybe he wants to live in a dorm," I thought out loud, trying to come up with a solution for her.

"No, he said he was planning on going to look at apartments when we get back, but he didn't even tell me that he had planned that. I just feel that he doesn't want to be with me anymore." Rose looked so sad.

I had never seen her like this. Before we had time to finish our conversation the guys were back.

It was kind of awkward with Rose and Em not getting along. Rose sat on the bed and Em on the floor. Jasper and Alice were sitting on the couch, with me on Edward's lap in a chair.

"Let's play a game," Alice suggested.

"I don't feel like playing a game," Rose said.

"Damn it, Rose, are you going to be a bitch all weekend?" Emmett spat.

"Emmett," I reprimanded. I didn't like him talking to her like that.

"Bella, stay out of it," Edward said, which only made me angrier. Was he taking Emmett's side?

"Don't tell me what to do. He obviously hurt her by telling her that he doesn't want to live with her. So what? You wouldn't let me move in with you?" I argued.

"I just don't think he should be pressured and I wouldn't want to be pressured either. It is going to be hard enough to even keep up with school," he added.

"What does that mean? You don't think we should be together because it is going to be too hard?" I was upset now. I stood up, folded my arms in front of me and tapped my foot.

"I didn't say that. I just meant living together brings on added stress," he said calmly.

"So I stress you?" I questioned.

"Bella, you are putting words in my mouth - no Baby. Why are we even arguing about this?" He walked over to me putting his arms around me.

Emmett and Rose busted up laughing. Rose rolled onto the floor and sat next to Emmett who was throwing his head back with laughter.

"You two started fighting over us. That is the most ridiculous thing I ever saw," Emmett laughed.

I, on the other hand, did not find it funny.

"Bella, come on, stop being stubborn and drop it. Let's play a game," Alice squealed.

I wasn't in the mood to play though. I couldn't believe Edward would not want to live with me. I knew we couldn't, but the simple fact that he didn't want to made me sad.

I didn't speak to anyone for the rest of the night. I tuned them out and I fell asleep. Emmett and Rose took the other bed and Alice and Jasper got the roll-away we had requested. I felt Edward crawl into bed and put his arms around me, kissing the back of my neck.

"Why are we arguing about something that is not even an option for us? I love you, Baby. I hate to argue with you, forgive me?" He kissed my head again and held me tighter. I could never stay mad at him when he held me like this.

We got up early the next morning, getting our things together. We took a taxi to the loading docks to board the boat. We would be spending three days at sea, three days in the Bahamas and another three days back to Florida.

Once we got on board, we put our things in the cabin. The cabin looked small from the outside but was pretty big on the inside. I realized that we did not get the regular cabin.

This room looked better than the hotel we had just stayed in. I looked around taking everything in. The walls were soft beige. It had one bed and a small table and two chairs. The bathroom was all tiled and had only a shower, no bath, a sink and toilet.

We made our way to the side of the boat and joined our friends. We participated in the bon voyage ceremony. The boat pulled away from the dock and we took our time walking around, taking in the sights. About an hour after we set sail the nausea set in, even though I took medication.

"I think I need to lie down," I told Edward. I really was not feeling too well.

"Hey, guys, Bella is feeling sick so we are going to go back to our room. We will catch up with you in a while," Edward told our friends.

I got to the room and laid on the bed. It did not help since I still felt the motion of the boat - the ups and downs. I felt like I was on a roller coaster and my stomach was trying to catch up to the rest of my body.

Edward brought a wash cloth and placed it on my forehead. They said that you get used to the motion after twenty-four hours; I hoped they were right.

I puked twice within a couple of hours. I slept after taking more motion sickness medication.

I woke up a few hours later and Edward was sitting in a chair reading a book I had brought with me.

"Feel better, Baby?" he asked, walking over to me. Although I was not feeling better, I lied. I didn't want to ruin it for Edward, so I nodded. It was already dinner time and we had to meet up with the rest of our friends.

After dinner we were going to get ready to go to one of the clubs they had on the boat - the only one that was for 18 and over; not just 21 and over.

I started feeling better and I was looking forward to going out with our friends, which was the whole point to this vacation anyway. We danced for a while and hung out. I danced with the girls. They played one slow song, which Edward and I dance together to - wrapped in each other's arms, the only place I ever want to be.

The next day all of us girls laid out by the pool while the guys went and played golf. I didn't know that you could play golf on a ship; I was surprised that you could.

The next day we were getting off the ship, thank God. Although my motion sickness had eased up, it did not completely go away.

"So the resort we are staying at has a hot club we should check out. You do know that it is legal to drink alcohol at the age of 18 in the Bahamas, right?" Alice nodded proudly. "We're going to party!" she exclaimed.

Once off the boat the scene was beautiful. The water was the most beautiful shade of blue green I had ever seen and you could actually see the sea floor. There was a slight breeze and even though it was kind of humid, it was nothing I couldn't get used to.

There was a shuttle that took us to our Villa. Alice had found this place. Alice checked us all in.

All the villas were like private houses and had their own balconies and patios. They had three private rooms each with their own showers, a full kitchen and living area. It was like a home away from home, only with the beach as your back yard. Ours had a few hammocks I was going to have to explore with Edward.

"We can buy food and cook in or we can eat out, it is up to all of you," Alice suggested as she walked to her room. Jasper followed behind her with all their bags.

Edward and I took the room that was on the first floor and the other two took the rooms upstairs. Alice called to all of us to meet her in the living area to go over the itinerary for the next three days.

"Tonight we are going to Club Eclipse 18 and order all the drinks you want. I heard they had a live band tonight, should be good. Tomorrow us girls are going to the spa, leaving you guys to your own devices - just don't get into trouble. Our last day we are going snorkeling and para-sailing. Bella, I don't want to hear a word from your mouth." How did she know I was going to object. "Since we are going out tonight I suggest we eat out and tomorrow the girls will cook. We will go to town and buy some food. Our last night, we will play it by ear," she added, smiling and nodding. No one argued.

We all got ready to go out. I wore a little black dress and flats. Alice said there was no need to get too dressy since the club was basically on the beach with a dance floor. Edward wore dark jeans and a silver button down; he could look hot in just about anything.

We got to the club early so there were not a lot of people there yet. I guessed things didn't get busy until after 10 p.m.; we still had a few hours.

Alice grabbed us all shots, handing each one of us a half of lime and salt. I had never had tequila before. 1, 2, 3 and we all drank it down. It burned and I held some of it in my mouth. I licked the lime and salt and it helped it go down. That stuff was awful. After that we each got fruity drinks and the guys grabbed beers.

The band started playing and the music was nice. I was starting to feel that buzz from the shot. I sipped my drink slowly; I didn't want to get drunk tonight. Alice had other plans.

Edward stayed close and even followed me to the bathroom for the third time in one hour.

"Sorry, I have to pee again," I apologized. The alcohol was going right through me. When I came out he was talking to some girl that I didn't like. Not that I knew her, I just didn't like that she was talking to him.

"Ummm, excuse me." I walked between them pulling Edward with me. I pulled him onto the dance floor and started dancing with him. Alice called to us to have another shot of something. Edward declined but, what the heck, I shot it back and downed it in one gulp.

"Are you okay, Baby?" Edward asked. I nodded my head. I was feeling more than okay. I had not felt this care-free in a long time. I knew I was with Edward and he would take care of me; if not I would have never let my guard down.

"Let's dance!' Alice shouted to me and Rose. The band was no longer playing, they were playing CD's now. Rosalie started dancing with some guy and I asked her what she was doing; Em was going to be pissed.

"Just teeassssing… Um," she slurred. Yeah, maybe she should have stopped drinking.

"Okay," I responded. I looked over at Edward, he was just watching me. I waved to him; he waved back. Damn I had to pee again. I walked over and grabbed Edward.

'You have to pee," he said. How did he know? I nodded and he followed me to the bathroom.

"You know, yyyyyyou don'ttt need to pppprotect me I can pee on mmmy own," I slurred.

"Right, Bella" he laughed. "You can't even talk right and you bumped into the wall three times."

"Maybe we should call it a night," Edward suggested. I was looking forward to going back to the villa. Edward and I could spend some time alone. I nodded and followed him to where our friends were. We told them we were leaving.

I was glad the villa was not too far. We had to stop so Edward could take off my shoes and then again so he could pick up my purse that I spilled everything out of.

Once back I took off my dress and started looking for my pajamas. Not finding them, I took off my bra and panties.

"Bella, do you plan on putting on clothes? Not that I mind but you're in the living area and someone could come in," Edward huffed. He pulled me to the room and I laid on the bed while he searched for my pajamas.

"Edward, let's have sex," I said. My filter definitely was not working.

"Bella, let's go to sleep," he said. I didn't want to sleep, I wanted to cuddle, make out, and be with him.

"I want you, Edward. Now, please?" I begged. I started kissing him and he in return kissed me but I knew he was holding back. I moved to his lap and he started kissing down my neck.

"Are you sure?" he asked, looking into my eyes. I nodded. I needed him, wanted him - forever.

As he continued to kiss me, his hands roamed over my body. It felt so good.

"I love you," I whispered.

"I love you too," he said between kisses.

Everything was hazy in the morning. My head was pounding and I felt like it was going to explode. I was so hung over. I was trying to remember what had happened when we got back to the room. I was looking for pajamas and Edward was trying to get me into bed to go to sleep. We were kissing and… Oh my God. I fell asleep on him. Nothing could have been more embarrassing.

There was a bottle of water and Tylenol on the bed table next to me. I wondered where Edward was. Was he mad at me? I took the Tylenol and rolled over, I needed to go back to sleep.

"Morning, sunshine!" Alice's high-pitched voice echoed in the room. Why was she so happy when all I wanted to do was die?

"Where is Edward?" I asked. I owed him an apology.

"He's gone. They went to play golf, but he left a note for you." She handed me the note.

Bella – Hope you are not feeling too bad this morning. I didn't want to wake you. I love you.

Well he didn't seem mad at least. Rose came in a few minutes later. She looked like I felt.

"My head is pounding," she said, putting her hands to her head.

"Come on, the spa will help. You both have twenty minutes to get up and out the door." Alice patted me.

Alice was right. Once I got up and left for the spa, it was wonderful. I felt relaxed and the headache went away. I had a nice massage and after we had lunch.

"So what did the two of you do when you got back to the Villa?" Alice asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing, I fell asleep." It wasn't a total lie. She looked at me like I was hiding something but I ignored her.

After the spa we took a taxi into town to the small grocery store. We decided to make Chicken Alfredo, since it was something I knew how to make. Alice grabbed a bottle of wine to go with dinner.

The guys were back when we got back to the villa. They were playing games on the X-Box that was in the living area. They all had beers and I assumed had been drinking for awhile because they were being quite loud.

"Hey, Cupcake," I said walking over to give Edward a kiss.

"Hey, Baby, have a nice time at the spa?" he asked kissing me again.

"You didn't fall asleep did you?" Emmett chuckled. He told them!

"You told them!" I pulled away.

"Thanks, Emmett." He threw a pillow at him.

"Told them what?" Rose asked walking into the room.

"That Bella fell asleep while they were getting frisky." Emmett laughed.

I would have never told the girls something so personal and here he was telling the guys about us. I was mortified to say the least and I must have been ten shades of red. I felt it creep up over my chest to my face, I bet even my ears were red. They were all laughing at my expense.

I walked into the kitchen and started to cook. Edward followed me but I ignored him.

I think I only said two sentences to Edward for the rest of the night and that was just, "pass the salad" and "pass the rolls". He apologized but it did nothing to make me feel better.

Everyone was laughing and having fun but me; even Edward joined in with the rest of them, ignoring me. I had enough so I got up and went to bed, locking the door behind me.

The next morning I woke up to pounding on the door. It was already 10 a.m.; I couldn't believe I had slept so late. I thought it would be Edward but I found Alice instead. She said I missed breakfast but she refused to let me miss out on the snorkeling and para-sailing.

With no shower, I walked out in my sundress and bikini ready to soak in the sun with Alice.

Edward walked up to me and wrapped his arms around me. I closed my eyes, since I had had time to cool off, realizing that it was not that big of a deal. We still had to talk about it, but I overreacted and I locked him out of the room, which was really childish on my part.

"I love you," he whispered. I turned around to face him. It looked like he had not slept at all and his hair was messier than usual.

'I love you too," I whispered back, pulling him to me and giving him a chaste kiss on the mouth. I would have done more but I had Alice in my ear telling me we had to get a move on.

The snorkeling was wonderful. The ocean was so blue and clear; the fish swam right by. I was mesmerized by the entire experience. Edward and I stayed close together, enjoying everything.

The para-sailing was an entirely different story. I was terrified. Emmett went first after they explained everything to all of us and we watched a short video about safety. That didn't help.

Rose was also afraid so Emmett was allowed to go with her. Alice and Jasper went next. I told Edward I was chicken and didn't want to go so he went without me.

It was terrifying watching him, so high up in the air being pulled by a boat. Something happened and the boat stalled, sending Edward into the water before the boat could take off again. I almost jumped off the side of the boat. He came up a few seconds later waving to us, but it didn't make me feel any better. The boat circled and they pulled him in.

'Are you hurt?" I asked hugging myself to him.

"I'm fine Bella. Do you want to go with me?" he asked. Was he joking? I was terrified before, now I was petrified.

After five minutes of Edward's sweet talking, I found myself hoisted up with him to go para-sailing. What I wouldn't do for that guy. I screamed and cried almost the entire time.

"Open your eyes, Bella," he told me. I had them shut the entire time. I just shook my head. Once I did open my eyes it was beautiful. I was glad I had done it after all.

We all decided that since it was the last night on the island we would just stay in and order room service. All of us went to bed early that night.

The next day we made a mad dash to the loading dock to get back on the ship. We had the wrong departing time and almost missed it.

Once we were back on and the motion sickness returned, I was exhausted. I slept the entire first day on the boat. Edward and I didn't leave the room on the second day except to eat lunch and dinner. On the third night we hung out with the others on the deck enjoying the breeze of the ocean and talking.

I couldn't wait to catch the flight back home. It was a busy two weeks and the best time of my life…so far.

A/N: Glad B & E didn't let the parentals ruin all the fun *wink* One more chapter left *cries* Thanks to everyone that has taken this journey with me especially LadyTazz for prereading and carzierthanu for being the best beta around.
