Want-to-read: Hi! Hoped you liked my last chapter! This one should be good, with a few surprises! Thanx for all the wonderful people that reviewed and liked it! Again, sorry it was messed up before!
"What?"
"Bella, you don't trust me?" Edward laughed and I felt him kissing my eyelids.
I opened my eyes to gaze up at him, "With my life, literally."
"Would you like to see something?" he came closed and whispered in my ear, making me shudder.
I hugged him as he set me down on the ground.
"I'm taking that as a yes!" Edward smoothed back my already smooth hair.
My feet barely touched the ground, then I was back envolped in his arms, pressing my lips to his. He was surprised at first, then kissed me back. We stood like that, well in all actuality I hung there, for a minute or two. I loved it, heck I loved him!
Edward pulled himself away from me and looked deep into my eyes, "Sweetheart, turn around."
I was mesmerized with his honey eyes, so he had to turn me around.
Shocked, I forgot how to breathe. We were in a clearing of sorts, with elegant beech trees all around. In the very middle, was something like a big top tent. Except it wasn't covered in bright colors. The material reminded me of tulle, it was glowing white. Wild flowers covered the whole top of canopy. It was all held up by five golden beams. Sunshine helped a lot to stun me even more. The effect was gorgeous. Not as beautiful as Edward in the sun, though. Nothing could even come lose to comparing with Edward's sparkling skin.
"Oh Edward!" my voice was a little weak, because I had just took a very unsteady breath.
Just then did it hit me that there was stuff under the canopy as well. Beneath the wonderful canopy was a table draped in white. It was set for one, with two plates filled to the rim with all sorts of breakfast food imaginable. Pancakes dripping with strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries; bacon, sausage, several kinds of eggs, buttered and jellied toast, and more…
"Oh my god!" my hand flew to my mouth and I ran over to the canopy, "How did you do this?"
I turned to see him right at my side before I entered, "It's all because I love you, I wish I could do more every second of your life."
Smiling, I touched his cheek and he did that fall-over-dead-smile that he does.
"Thank you so much!" I went under and sat in the golden chair.
"Your gratefully welcome, Bella," from out of nowhere he picked up an empty glass from the table and poured some orange juice.
Oh boy, I thought as he gracefully poured my juice. A god was waiting on me. It made me giggle and he glanced at me in the most peculiar way. I didn't want him to think of me as not liking the food that had set for me, so I got a fork and dove into the pancakes.
"Holy crow! This is awesome!" I said between stuffing my face.
He set the glass back down and smirked.
"What's so funny?"
"You think food cooked by vampires is good?"
"Not good. Marvelous."
"Alice and Esme didn't like the smell."
My eyes widened in shock, "They helped?"
"Neither of them remember cooking, so yes they help. Made faces all the way through too," he made a face at the memory.
All I could was laugh, hard. I laughed so hard it shook the table. At this, Edward laughed, his of course more powerful than mine. Bells sounded through the clearing, I was in heaven with food!
"Now Bella, are you finished?" he asked, eyes on me as I laid my fork on the table.
I thought I was going to burst or bacon was going to come out of my ears.
"Yeah," I patted my stomach.
"Wonderful!" he was around the side of the table in a flash and gently picked me up in his arms.
My stomach was a little too full, "Please don't run unless you want to see food all over the trees."
"Okay," he sighed and slowly for him walked all the way back to the car.
It only took him about fifteen minutes to get back to the Volvo, he walked fast.
"Edward," I faced him before he set me in the car, "That was the best breakfast I have ever had in my whole entire life. That meant the world to me."
He eyes lit up, "Oh Bella, "he swooped down and put me in the car, planting a kiss on my lips, "Today will be a day of 'the bests'."
This was going to be fun, I smiled the whole time he started the car.
"Are we going back home?" I didn't look out the car window, only at him.
"No," he answered easily.
I could feel my heart speeding up, I'm sure he could too.
Edward wasn't even facing the road now, his whole god-like face was directed to me, it made me lose my train of thought, "Um…"
"Um what?" his eyes burned from within.
"Where are we going then?"
"Wait and find out, it's much better than me telling you."
Edward's hand had come to rest on my lap, making me secretly grin.
"Tell me Bella," he paused for a short second, "If you had to pick your favorite animal, what would it be?"
"It's a draw between-" I stopped myself, "Wait, why do you want to know?"
"Just wondering, I think I missed that last time we had twenty questions," he shrugged.
"Oh," I thought of the two animals that reminded me of Edward and Alice, "a mountain lion and a swan."
"That's different, any reason for that choice?"
I blushed, "You and Alice."
The car was silent, I looked over at him with squinted eyes for the longest time. It was only then that I realized that we had stopped at a store. In a mall. In a town that wasn't Forks. I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach and I didn't like it. Edward's hands took my face and he made me stare at his eyes. Like I needed him to make me do that!
"We're here because…?" I reached for the door handle but he was already there, picking me up out of the car.
People stared, he didn't seem to notice, "I couldn't resist taking you here."
I slid deeper into his arms, "Where are we anyway?"
"Seattle."
"How did we get here so fast?"
"We drive Bella," he gave me a hard look, then broke down laughing.
I groaned, "Do you always have to laugh at me?" I tried to squirm out of his grasp.
"The expression on your face was priceless," he composed his perfect face, but let a small chuckle escape.
Thank goodness the sky had clouded over, or the parking lot would have got a good dose of sparkle.
"I would like to get inside before I kill that guy," he growled under his breath.
I turned around and searched the parking lot, "Who?"
"No one you ever want to meet," Edward said through tight lips, narrowing his eyes.
"Fine," we approached the large double doors of the store.
Inside, clothes lined almost every nook and cranny. All of it looked very expensive. That was going to suck, he wanted to buy me more clothes! I had Alice for that, I didn't even like when she did it! Edward set me down just inside the door. If he wasn't a vampire with super speed and strength, I think I would have ran out of the glass doors right then.
He took my hand and rubbed circles into it, "No Bella, we're not buying clothes for you, though we can if you want to."
I gulped back my fears and shook my head no.
"Let's go look for some clothes for me, sweetheart!" Edward raised his voice so the few people in the store could hear him very clearly.
"Edward!" I whispered to him as he pulled my to the men's section.
He gave me a quizzical look but kept on pulling. I'm sure I looked very out of place. A girl in a pink dress with a god-like boy in the men's department looking for clothes for the god-like boy. Could it get any weirder? That's what I was asking myself the whole time he was grabbing clothes.
"I'll go in, try them on, then come back out and model them for you," he had a smirk on his face as he went into the only try-on rooms.
I found a chair and sat down waiting patiently as he changed. Why did he think he needed to model something at a store for me? Every waking moment he modeled his perfect body and clothes for me. Sometimes I wanted to slap into him that he had no flaws, I knew it wouldn't work. Staring into the one eighty degree mirror, I turned my head on way, then the other. Alice did do a very good job with my hair. And make up, it was amazing. I took a second to look closer at myself. My stomach was bulging from the huge breakfast I had just ate.
"How do you like it?" Edward came out in a stunning white pants and baby blue shirt.
I giggled.
His face fell, "It looks bad, doesn't it?"
"Not at all!" I stopped my laughing and put on a straight face.
He was quiet for a moment till he went over and looked into the mirror. Slowly spinning around, he came to stop in front of me. He was grinning, too! In a rush, but still at human speed, he stood me up and cuddled me.
"There's people watching us!" I dug my head into his chest.
"Do you want me to stop?" he asked, lifting me head up?
I sighed and he let me go.
"I didn't say yes!" I pointed out.
Edward walked back to the dressing room, "You didn't say no either!"
I folded my hands on my chest and waited another minute.
This time he came out in a gangster outfit, with the do-rag and everything. It was all yellow and red. Now I couldn't hold back the laughing, it floated through the store.
"I'm getting this one," he had a smug look on his face that made me laugh even harder.
He didn't wait for me to say anything, he went back to change again. It went on like that for about an hour, I didn't have any problem with it. Each time Edward came out, he was both funny and beautiful. Once he came out with just some swimming trunks and my eyes stayed wide and my mouth open for the next few turns. After about twenty turns, he was done.
"He did you like my little fashion show?" he handed all the clothes over to the casher.
I gazing into his eyes as the casher spent time ringing his stuff up.
"Thank you," I murmured and kissed him on the cheek.
Edward didn't just like the cheek kiss, he wanted more. Pulled into his arms, I was kissing him full on. The only thing that made me stop was the casher, who was a guy, was getting uncomfortable. I gently pulled away, even though I really didn't want too. I turned away from Edward, facing the dressing rooms. A guy came out trying on the exact same white shirt that Edward had, but put back. The guy's blonde girlfriend came up to laid against his chest. Suddendly she whipped her head up and leaned away a little. I could see her eyes grow wide and her mouth curved up into a smile.
"Don!" the girl giggled at the guy, he didn't what she was doing.
I didn't either. She then jumped on him and tackled him to the ground. The guy yelped in surprise, all I could do was gape. Edward tapped my shoulder, I twisted to see him laughing.
"She likes my smell," he ran a hand through his tawny hair.
I got it and laughed too.
The casher gave me a weird looked and told us the price, "Two thousand dollar and seventy two cents."
My mouth dropped open.
A pale hand gave him cash, "Thank you."
Edward gathered at least six bags and started out of the store. I ran to catch up to him. While still holding the bags, he shifted them to one hand and put the newly freed hand around my wasit.
"I love you," I snuggled into his body.
"Bella, you are the most presoius thing I have in this world. Have ever had. Don't you think I love you too?" he trailed his hand up and down my arm as we were walking back to the car.
I rested my head on him, "Of course."
He sighed and leaned down to kiss me. Only then did I figure out that we were at his car. At human pace, he shoved the bags in the trunk. I didn't think that they could all fit. This gave me time to get into the car myself. I hadn't done that for the past three months. It made me feel indepent, almost like Edward wasn't there. That thought triggered a tear, which easily ran down my cheek. I blushed wiping it away.
"Are you not having fun? I'm so vain, taking you shopping for myself!" Edward was in the car, having a terrible look on his face, "What the hell kind of boyfriend am I?"
I grabbed his arm, pleading with me eyes, "You're the best- I guess yyou could say boyfriend- any girl ever had. Especially me!"
Edward's eyes turned flat black and he started the car and muttered a bunch of inaublable phrases to himself.
"Fine, be like that," I murmured and crossed my arms.
Yes, I was trying to get him out of his sour mood. The bad way. I hoped against hope it would work.
"I-I," he stammered until I put a finger on his lips, forcing him to take his eyes off the road.
"Stop worrying, I'm having the most wonderful day Edward! And your anything but vain," I smiled coyly and winked at him.
"My God," he breathed and had to put his eyes back on the road before he did something irrantional.
Out of Seattle, heading back to Forks, I think, was the first time for the whole day I thought of Charile. I was a wonderful daughter, huh?
"Um…" the silence was getting a little boring, "Can you turn on the radio?"
"Sure Bella," hearing the smile in Edward's voice, he moved and turned the dial.
After a moment of sifting through sations, he asked, "What kind of music are you up for?"
"How about…" I trailed off thinking of something good, "Some rock?"
"Nice choice, but they're not play any good songs," he frowned quickly and filped out his cell phone.
"What are you-" he put a cool hand over my mouth as he dialed with one hand.
"Hello, I understand that this is a request hour," Edward stated in a very appealing tone.
He was quiet for a moment, then, "Wonderful. I would like to hear," he looked over at me, I shrugged my shoulders, "Make Damn Sure from Taking Back Sunday, please."
How did he know I loved that song? Edward moved his hand away from my mouth.
"Yes, thank you very much," he hung up the phone and slipped it back into his pocket.
"Wow!" I felt like clapping my hands with joy, but that was Alice's territory.
Finding whatever station he called into, he turned it up. Low and behold the song came on, without thinking I turned it up. I knew all the words, every time it came on I sung it. By the middle I felt really stupid because I was making a complete fool out of myself. Through the whole thing Edward kept glancing at me, each time making me blush.
The song ended too quickly.
"Half of it is true," Edward smiled at me, I felt my heart flutter.
I raised an eyebrow, "Which half?"
"'I'm gonna make damn sure you can't ever leave,'" he had a solemn look on his face.
That just made me love him that much more, "Aw… why would I ever want to go anyway?"
I-would-read-if-I-were-you: Was it okay? I was listening to Taking Back Sunday, Panic! At the Disco, and Fall Out Boy through the whole thing, I felt I had to add something in. Did you like the shopping scene? I only got a few reviews for my last chapter, that's terrible! If I dodn't get at least eleven good reviews, I'm not writing any more chapters! See what I'm being reduced to? Please review! sobs Thanx
