Thank you for reading my story and being patient waiting for updates.
As always a huge thanks to those ladies who keep me readable. Thanks EdwardsFirstKiss (though, she is away on vacation right now), AWayWithWords, and LaPumkl.
Thank you to my good buddy Nikky, for supporting me in my solo writing.
I got a message complaining that this was was too fluffy, and I am sorry but this story will stay more on the fluff side, because I sometimes need a break from too much drama.
Chapter 36
The ringing of the phone wakes me, and I reach for it.
"Hello," I say, trying not to yawn.
"Good morning, Mrs. Cullen, this is Sarah in Guest Services, with your requested wake up call."
"Oh, thank you," I say.
"Would you like a breakfast tray sent up to your room?" she asks.
"Yes; could you just send something light though, like maybe two bowls of fresh fruit, and a couple of bagels with cream cheese?"
"I'll have that delivered here very shortly; would you like coffee, tea, or juice with that?"
"Orange juice sounds great, thank you," I reply.
"You're welcome," she says.
I hang up, and smile as I look at Edward.
"Good morning, husband," I whisper before kissing his jaw.
Edward's arms wrap around me, and before I know it I am under him. He kisses me deeply, and I open my mouth to him willingly.
"Good morning, my beautiful wife," he says with a big grin.
I giggle at his silliness. "It's time to get up. A light breakfast is on the way," I tell him.
"Yes, and after we eat we are going go see a few things, unless I can get you to come back to bed with me?"
I can't help but giggle again. "You're insatiable."
"You, my wife, are correct about that. I honestly don't think I can ever get enough of you to satisfy the need to have more. I love you so much, Bella, and I will love you forever."
He kisses me again, and my eyes tear up. This kiss is not playful or lust filled, it is like him interweaving his heart with mine.
Sometime later, we leave the bedroom and find our breakfast is on the table waiting for us. We eat our fruit, but pass on the cold bagels before heading out.
After spending most of the early afternoon walking the strip and doing a bit of shopping, we head back to our room. We decided earlier we would go and take in one of the Cirque Du Soleil shows, after having dinner at Top of the World. Our reservations for dinner are at seven, and the show starts at nine-thirty.
Edward lets me shower first, so I have time to get dressed and dry my hair. While he is in the shower I look through the dresses and clothing Lucy packed for me. I find a gorgeous dark blue, silk wrap dress, and pull it out. Edward has a nice dark blue suit, so I set it out for him, along with a blue silk tie. It looks like Lucy went above and beyond, making sure we would have matching outfits. Edward gets out of the shower and kisses my cheek, before we begin to get dressed. I find a nice matching set of dark blue undergarments in my drawer and put it on. I'm not fond of thongs, but the dress calls for them. I take a look in the mirror and smile, before putting my robe on. I move into the bathroom and do my hair in a simple twist up, securing it with a beautiful blue stoned hair clip. I brush on some mascara, and a little lip gloss. Moving back to the bedroom, I see my sexy husband putting his shoes on. He smiles up at me, and winks.
I feel flirty, so I take off the robe before entering the small dressing room, after giving an extra shake of my hips. I can't help but laugh when he follows me.
"Are you trying to kill me, or make us late, my little vixen?"
"Just making sure I have your attention," I say as I pull the dress on.
"No worries there, I have no attention for anyone else but you."
I smile at him as I tie the side of the dress.
After a few light kisses, we are leaving our hotel room.
There is a car waiting for us, and it is Fred's friend, Raoul. We met him briefly earlier today when he picked us up with our bags from a couple of the stores. He seems to be exactly like Fred, and we learned he is actually Fred's brother-in-law.
The drive along the strip is awe inspiring, and the lights are bright. When we arrive at the Stratosphere, Raoul smiles as he pulls us up to the front door.
"You will buzz me, when you are ready?" he asks.
"We will, thank you, Raoul.
The door opens, and we are helped out of the vehicle by the attendant. We enter the hotel and directed to the elevator that takes us to the one hundred and sixth floor.
This is almost exactly like Sky City, but the view is drastically different. The lights and action you can see is amazing. The hostess shows us to our table, and we are seated right by a window. As the hour goes by, we enjoy a wonderful meal, and the view which is spectacular.
When we are done with dinner, we buzz Raoul, before leaving the restaurant.
We head over to the Mandalay Bay to see the Michael Jackson ONE show.
We arrive in time to be seated, and our seats are in a wonderful location. It is like we can see every piece of the stage. The song starts to open the show, the dancers, and performers are amazing. The ways they move, make me want to dance in my seat. There is so much to see, I am sure we could come again, and see something new we're missing.
When the show is over, we head back to the Bellagio, in time to catch the final fountain show of the night.
"Bella, I know we are only here for a couple more days, but I want to go to our room now," Edward whispers in my ear.
"I want that, too," I tell him, wanting to have him closer to me.
Before I know it we are entering our room, and moving to the bedroom.
"I've waited all night to take that beautiful dress off of you."
"I've waited all night for that, too."
"Bella, my wife, I will never love anyone the way that I love you."
"I will also never love anyone the way I love you, husband. Now, what was it you said about this dress?" I ask with a raised brow.
Edward lets out a light sounding growl as he pulls me close and kisses me heatedly.
Morning dawns, and I awake naked wrapped in my husband's arms. I smile, loving that I am able to take in the view of him asleep partially beneath me.
Tracing my finger across his jaw, I can't help but smile. This leaving home to find myself and learn new things led me to lots of new things, but the best thing it brought me to was the other half of my heart.
As Edward stirs, I look to his eyes and when they open, I give him a happy smile, but that is not hard, because I'm not sure I've ever been happier.
"Good morning, my husband."
"Good morning, my wife."
"Let's just stay in bed for a while," I suggest with an arched brow.
Edward says nothing, but pulls me closer and his lips meet mine in a very passionate kiss that gives me the answer I was looking for.
Walking around later may be a little difficult, but I will happily be tender and sore in all the best ways, to not have to leave my husband's arms yet.
A/N: I am thinking there will be a bit of a time jump, like arriving at the airport to be picked up back in San Francisco. What are your thoughts on how things are going?
