Protective Edward

I can't believe it. I can't believe I did this. Edward is going to be so upset because he is so anal about my safety. Granted I am a human and compared to him I am fragile. My land a vampire is indestructable except for total dismemberment and fire. Like really when is that going to happen in life. Not often that is for sure, and it is not like anything bad happened here. I got a ticket coming home from Port Angelese after racing there to get a book I need for the paper in English.

Dang! It is not like Edward doesn't speed most of the time too. Ok, so I forgot my seatbeat. Well, actually I like not wearing it when he is not around because he is such a mother hen. At least he can't read my mind so maybe I don't have to tell him about it. As long as Alice doesn't forsee anything I should be ok. She was busy today too planning the end of the year bash at the Cullens. Keeping things normal for me is going to be my death.

Flashback

"Bella I have agreed to change you after we marry," Edward said will kissing my neck. As we get closer to the change date or the wedding date, he gets more lovey. He seems to be feeling more able to control himself. "I still want you to have all the stuff a normal girl graduating from high school has. End of the year party is one of those things you will thank me for later."

I scoff, "I like I will remember. You yourself have said that you don't remember much from before changing" I so hate having a spectacle made of me or worse yet being the center of attention. My lot in life is being the wallflower.

"Belle, I still remember big stuff like graduating,"he smirked.

"You remember graduating because you have done it like a gazillion times," I come back.

"Still you are having a party and that is that. Think of Charlie, he will get to have this memory as well," he said.

I couldn't argue there so I said nothing as I noticed that Edwards experssion is changing to a more serious one as he cleared his throat. "Ah love, I need to talk to you about another thing as well," he said with his tone of voice changing completely. "Alice had a vision the other day when you took my car to town to get some things you needed."

I purposely avoided his direct gaze at me because I could guess what was coming next. Yes, I did not wear my seatbelt into and back from town. I guess I was a bad girl, but really it was only about 10 miles around trip, and nothing happened. Dang there was no escaping Alice-vision.

Edward put his finger under my chin forcing me to look into his eyes. I can play this game too because I will just look through my lashes at him. "Isabella, look at me," he ordered." No escaping the you know you did wrong tone, so I looked up. "Alice told me she had a vision of you getting into a little fender bender, no fault of yours."

"Hey, that didn't even happen so someone saw wrong or a human changed their mind," I spoke up.

Placing his fingers over my mouth to shush me, he continue, "Thank goodness nothing happened, and it would not have been your fault either. That is not why I am bring this up, but you know why I am mentioning this don't you, young lady," he said.

Blinking fast I mummbled, "Damn Pixie."

"Stop," he commanded, "you wouldn't have to worry about the Pixie if you were taking care of yourself. Bella sometimes I feel like you are about two and I have to remember you constantly how to take care of yourself."

"But nothing happened," I whispered.

"That is not the point," he continued, "it could have, and if it did you would have gotten hurt. So for pity's sake what should you have been doing. I know you know exactly what I am talking about or you wouldn't be actively avoiding me."

I felt like the two year old he was discribing. "I know, I know. I should have had my stupid seat belt on. But really Edward can't I be like every other teen out there and be a little careless every once in a while."

Now he was looking down right mad. Stupid me I forget Edward is protect because he loves me so. I love him too, and most of the time I am a careful, law abiding teen.

"Absolutely not, Isabella," he whispered in a very domineering voice. If it were possible to disappear I would. "You know your safety is the most important thing to me and don't even think of saying if you were like me this wouldn't be an issue." Now the Edward attempt to calm down begins by him pinching the bridge of his nose. I can't help but wonder what that does but joking now is not in my best interest.

"Isabella, sometimes I wonder if a good old fashioned spanking wouldn't spark some desire to take better care of yourself. I love you and I refuse to allow you to take chances with your safety," he ordered. "Are we clear on this?"

"Crystal," I mummered. I really did feel like a naughty child at this moment. "I'm sorry Edward. I do love you," I smiled.

"I know you do as I love you too, but Bella I am warning you," he said in all seriousness. "If I find out you fail to do something else you can easily do to protect yourself, I am not going to just threaten to spank. Got it?" His eyes bore into mine leaving no room for question or joke.

"I got it," I said

And now here I am sitting in Edward's car in my driveway holding a ticket for not only speeding but not wearing my seatbelt. Next, right on cue my cell vibrates with a text message. Oh my God, please for once don't let it be Edward. I pick up the phone and click to find a message from Alice.

With a big sigh of relief I read...Call me now!

I dial Alice's number and wait mere milliseconds for her to pick up. "Alice please tell me you haven't talked to Edward, I can explain," I breathed.

"No, I haven't talked to him," she said, "but Bella he can read my mind. When he finds this out you are toast."

"Can't we somehow not tell him," I whined. I so hate to whine but the thought of being spanked by Edward is anything but pleasant. I trust him not to do damage but I know I would feel it.

"Bella, the only thing saving you now is that he is hunting with Jasper and Emmett," she continued. "He is fanantical about checking up on you through my mind. Honestly, Bella you are so accident prone why would you purposely take a chance like speeding with out wearing your seatbelt."

"Dag gum it, sometimes I just want to be a teen, and nothing happened other than getting a ticket," I responded

"I know I saw," she confirmed. "How will you hide that from him without my saying anything, and won't Charlie find out?"

"That is the easy one. I got the ticket outside of Port Angeles so I pay it there and nothing will ever get to Charlie. Now it is Edward I need to keep this from," I whispered.

"Edward is like the KGB when it comes to you," Alice said. "And where will you get the money to pay the ticket?"

"You didn't see that," I sarcastically replied. "I have money saved up from working at the sporting goods store. So, I just use that. Come on Alice you got to be able to save me here. You owe me."

"Owe you do I. Well, maybe but I am telling you that Edward is like a dog with a bone when it comes to you and your safety. Although I will say I don't relish the thought of what he will do when he finds this out," she said. "I am telling you from being on the receiving end of an Edward Cullen spanking that it is not fun."

Just hearing spanking combined with Edward Cullen's name makes me cringe. "Alice please help me. I know I should not have been so careless, and really I just wasn't thinking," I said.

"Gosh Bells I don't know," pondered Alice, "if he finds out I helped you keep something like this from him he will probably tan my hide too or worse tell Jasper."

"Tell Jasper," I said distracted a little. "What would that do?"

"Look Bella, you are a Cullen woman really, and Cullen men don't like to see their women in danger at all for any reason," she breathed. "And when they are in danger due to their own lack of judgement, it is worse. Jasper was ready to spank me after Italy when I took off without him. If he finds out I helped you hide something like this from Edward well it won't be pretty. Let me tell you something a vampire's bottom is one thing that is just as sensitive as a human's although it can't be permanently damaged. Still, it is really embarrassing to have trouble sitting for an extended period of time. In the Cullen family the men do not hestitate to spank a misbehaving female. Get my drift?"

"Yeah, I got it," I whimpered. "Still Alice please help me. I mean you can work on the upcoming party so you are honestly not thinking about your vision. In the mean time I will take care of the ticket and promise to be super careful and do all those things I should. Please Alice I am begging you as sister to sister."

"Oh you are good Bella, and you know we are besties," she beamed. "Ok I will but I need to get off here and get on the computer because I can see the guys are heading home, and if Edward catches this conversation it wiil not be good for either of us."
