When we woke the next morning curled up in each other's arms I couldn't stop the contented sigh that slipped from my mouth. It was after 10 and Edward was so warm and cuddly that I had slept like a baby the night before.
"Morning love." He whispered softly in my right ear before he began kissing my jaw line.
"Morning." I husked back.
"You know we have no school today, and knowing Alice she was up at 2am to make it to the Black Friday shopping with Rose, which means Jasper and Emmett were probably dragged away." He told me as he hovered above me.
"Really? Whatever should we do today then?" I giggled.
"I was thinking we could drive up to Port A, have a late lunch. Maybe go to the movies?" Was he asking me on a date?
"Like a date?" I blurted out.
"Umm..." he almost blushed he looked away nervously, "Yea." I held back my girlie squeal.
"Ok." I kissed him hard to show how happy I was and he laughed into my mouth.
"Well get your beautiful self out of bed and dressed. I hear you have a hot date with the quarterback of the football team." He joked.
"Hmm yea I guess I should probably put some effort in. Who knows maybe by spring I'll rate the captain of the baseball team?" I joked. Edward began tickling me and I squealed with laughter. "I give! Who could be hotter than the quarterback?" I laughed as he suddenly licked my collarbone.
Ok sexy but where did that come from?
"That's right baby." He gave a devilish wink. "Now I'm going to go change while you get ready and I'll meet you downstairs." I smiled at him but worried what to wear since my fashion gurus were MIA. "And Bella baby, dress as you because that's who I love."
"I love you to." I smiled even bigger and he returned it before leaving me to change.
…
In the car we sang along with the radio, joked about people at school. Edward growled about my fan club and I groaned about the sluts who like to throw themselves at him. All in all, the trip to Port Angeles was a blast.
"Food first or movie?" Edward asked as we pulled into town.
"Movie? We can combine snacks with entertainment." I said with an affirmative nod like I knew what I was talking about and he laughed.
"Movie it is." We pulled into the cinema's parking lot and Edward opened my door then took my hand. "What should we see?"
"Ohh, let's see that new vamp/werewolf movie based off those books Alice is fool over."
"She is going to kill us seeing it without her." He protested, pulling me under his arm to the ticket line. He held me close to his body as he got the tickets and we made our way to the snacks.
"Drink?"
"Diet Coke." He ordered a diet coke for me and a dr. pepper for himself.
"Snacks?" I swear I jumped a little with joy.
"Snow caps, popcorn and chocolate covered peanuts." He ordered a mega tub of popcorn a thing of snow caps and 2 boxes of the peanuts.
With our bounty of food now secured we moved to the theater to pick out seats. Edward argued that the back row was the best, I argued he just wanted to feel me up and wanted privacy. He ended up admitting that and as his reward for honesty I sat in the back row and gave him a naughty wink. He looked like Santa just bought him a BMW he was so happy.
Edward lifted the arm rest between us and I leaned into him, our drinks in those cute little cup holders the theater had put in on the seats the year before the popcorn between the sex God's legs, I think he put it there on purpose to see my hand reach towards his junk.
As the movie came on, we heard several girls, and some women squeal the way Alice does when she sees a Prada bag. Edward chuckled and looked around.
"Bella I'm the only guy in here under 50." I laughed because it was true there were a couple of Dads there with their daughters along with Edward and that was the extent of male population at this movie.
"Do you want me to call you big daddy to make you fit in with the other dads?" I joked and he pinched my hip slightly.
"Eww just don't when you say big daddy, I have visions of Dad and Charlie and that's just not cool baby." I laughed so hard I almost knocked my drink over. The house lights went down and the previews started. We could hear the girls getting excited and they kept squealing the name Rob. I laughed and looked at Edward.
"We probably shouldn't tell Alice we went to see this, if she is as bad as those girls, we might not live to see Christmas." I told him in mock sadness.
"I concur my lady love. My sister would start a pot of witch's brew and cook us for dinner. Probably feed us to Emmett. He'd never notice we weren't some form of chicken soup."
"True my cousin eats to fast to be able to tell the difference." I nodded in all seriousness.
"Seriously Bella we are joking about cannibalism." He laughed and I laughed back. Suddenly the screen changed and the movie began and a scream like it was a rock concert over took the theater.
"I'm scared Edward." He hugged me tighter.
"Me too baby. Me too."
…
About 30 minutes into the movie I decided I wanted to smack the heroine and fuck the vampire. How she could let him leave I didn't know. I would have hooked onto his leg crying and threatened to jump off a cliff if he left my ass. Clearly that would make him see I was better off with him there to keep me from jumping.
Edward had taken notice around 10 minutes ago that no one was paying attention to anything but the movie and he started playing with my boobs.
Yep I was getting felt up in a movie theater, I felt so much like a teen cliché and I loved it. He tried making out with me but that vamp guy was fuck hot and I pretended to be enthralled with the movie so I could watch him.
After the vamp left some annoying kid showed up and decided to "heal" the heroine with his sunny disposition and letting her go wild on motorcycles. Clearly letting the severally depressed around extreme sports is safe, please note my sarcasm here. The annoying kid got even more annoying when he became a werewolf. He suddenly decided he was allergic to shirts, and wore jorts all the time. I mean his abs were alright, but after the vamp guy, I had picked a side. I'm loyal like that. So, at this point I crawled on Edward's lap and shoved my tongue down his throat. It was make out time. Edward groaned in appreciation and proceeded to reward me for said shoving of tongue by rubbing my ass erotically through my jeans. Score one for Bella.
While completely getting lost in Edward's tongue, hands and cock cause let us face it there was some mild dry humpage going on I heard a squeal.
Turning around to see if we got busted, I noted fuck hot vamp guy was back looking all sad and shirtless. I quickly got in my chair and began watching the movie again. The little strumpet had ditched the annoying werewolf boy and was going for the vamp guy. Score one for her. Ok what's up with the freaky people with red eyes? Umm I think their leader maybe a little off there if ya know what I mean?
I began to notice Edward getting cranky due to sudden abandonment of earlier affections so being the fuck awesome girlfriend that I am I began running my hand up and down his thigh. Keep him hard by thinking he's gonna get some, thereby keeping him happy. I am a virgin sex genius thank you very much.
As the movie ended, we all waded through the discarded sea of Kleenexes back to the lobby. Edward held me close and rubbed my back in soothing circles to comfort me. I was a little depressed by the movie, werewolf boy refused to take a hint and go away making the hottie vamp guy sad. I noticed girls looking at my Edward so I drug him back out to the car where we made out a little in the front seat of his Volvo.
"Food?" He asked in between kisses and I heard his tummy growl a little and I remembered he hadn't eaten any of the snacks since he was too busy playing with my boobs and hair in the theater.
"Food." I sighed crawling back into my seat.
"What are you in the mood for?" He smiled starting the car.
"Honestly?" He nodded. "A huge greasy cheeseburger and potato wedges."
"And where do we go for that?" He asked.
"Linda's Diner. I'll point you in the right direction."
…..
We sat in the booth scarfing down the fucktabulos grease fest and talking about all sorts of things. He kept asking me about my favorite gem stones, colors and books. I kept asking him boxers or briefs. He would just laugh and move on.
The thing is I had spent months with Edward and knew him pretty well. I knew that his favorite color was silver, that Keats was his favorite poet and that he thought Poe would have been a happier person on Prozac. I knew he loved all kinds of music but he had a secret love of The Monkees, that goofy tv show band because Carlisle would play their music and dance around with them as kids. I knew Edward was still undecided on college and career and I also knew that I would follow him wherever he went if he'd let me.
"So, what do you want for Christmas?" He asked pulling me out of my thoughts.
"No clue." I replied. "You?"
"There is a new biography on Mozart that I'd like." I smiled. I already knew that and it was wrapped in my closet. I had pre-ordered that shit on-line and it was there a day after its release. Thank you very much.
"Cool, put it on your letter to Santa." I smiled.
"Letter to Santa?" He laughed. "Bella, I haven't written a letter to Santa since I was 7."
"Esme has us write one every year. It's tradition. The tree goes up the day after Thanksgiving, being today, and we trim it on Saturday after letting it set for the night. Then over Esme's kick ass homemade hot coco we sit around the tree with the fireplace going and just the tree lights and write our letters to Santa. Even Esme writes one." I had a nostalgic smile on my face. "Some years they're funny and other years serious. When Em was 14 he asked Santa for a dirt bike and a Playboy." I rolled my eyes.
"And Emmett gets serious?" Edward smiled back.
"Yea, the year Uncle Marcus's health started declining we both asked for him to get better or at least to die peacefully with little pain." A tear came to my eye and he quickly wiped it away.
"So, the tree is going up today? Should we have stayed home so we could go help them pick it out?" He asked a little nervously. So cute.
"Nope. Aunt Esme is allergic to real trees so we use a life like artificial tree." He looked relieved. "However, we should probably head back. If Emmett is the one putting it together, we might have problems. One year he thought it would be fun to put the larger bottom row in the middle for 'artistic purposes.'" Edward choked on his laughter as he signaled for our check.
…
We held hands and enjoyed classical music on the ride home. It was silent and it was peaceful. It was perfect. And it was over way to fast.
Walking into the house the first thing I hear is my cousin bellowing, "Holy shit that thing is huge!"
"Language Emmett." His mother knocked him on the side of the head.
"Sorry Mom but really it's like 10 feet tall or something." I came in with Edward behind me holding my hand to see the huge Christmas tree in the large family room.
"Oh my God." I stuttered out. Edward just whistled low. "Emmett gets to string the lights this year." I called because there was no way in hell, I was getting on a latter to do that.
"Oh, it's one of those pre-lit trees kids." Esme assured us and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Decorations and letters tomorrow right Mom?" Emmett sounded like a 5-year-old and was bouncing on the balls of his feet. It was adorkable.
"Yes dears. I figure we can start at 4 with decorations, then get done by 7 so we can all get cleaned up and, in our jammies, and ready to watch Rudolf at 8 while we write our letters." Wait we're watching tv?
"Aunt Esme were going to watch Rudolf? Doesn't the tv going spoil the ambiance and peace of the moment?" I pondered.
"Well Carlisle and the kids always watch Rudolf the Saturday after Thanksgiving together, and I thought we could intermingle our traditions." She looked nervous. I felt bad for asking, it had just thrown me a little.
"No that's cool." I smiled and Emmett agreed.
"I can't wait to write my letter to Santa and I bought us all new pjs to wear!" Alice giggled and hugged me.
"Thanks Alice." Then I turned on Edward. "And pray tell Mr. Cullen why didn't you share your little tradition when I shared mine?"
"Because my love you were to damn cute talking about letters to Santa and I didn't think of it. You dazzled me." I laughed and hugged him I swear my aunt and Alice awed.
