Bella's POV
"Stop tossing and turning Bella!" Edward yelled at me from his bedroom down the hall. It was three in the morning and I was so excited about leaving for Paris later today that I couldn't contain myself. Sleep was just not going to happen.
"I can't help it!" I shot back, sitting up in bed in my pitch back room.
"We'll try!" he yelled again. I heard him flip over in his bed. I sighed and fell back into my pillows. Of course Edward wasn't as excited as I was. He'd been all over the world hundreds of times and me I hadn't even left the United States. I tried to sit still in bed but I couldn't. Instead I got up and started pacing around in my bedroom.
"Bella! Cut it out would ya?" he bellowed. I giggled.
"It's impossible!" I laughed. Suddenly the lights in the hall flicked on and I heard his bare feet clomping towards my room. I knew I was in big trouble. The lights shot on in my room and I froze where I was standing, looking Edward straight in the eye. He was in his boxers and nothing else. His hair looked all ratty and he had enormous bags under his eyes but he stilled looked stunning. I felt myself sigh at his gorgeousness. His voice then snapped me back to reality.
"You" he said while pointing right at my face, "in the bed now" he ordered. I complied, all giddy like, and hopped into bed. He approached me and took all the covers into his hands and proceeded to tuck the sheets right under the mattress. I then realized he was trying to secure me there.
"I feel like a little kid" I giggled as he moved to the other side of the bed and did the same thing with the sheets.
"Well you're acting like one" he laughed back. "Now please Bella, just try and sleep, we're going to have a big day…" he said while placing a gentle kiss on my forehead.
"Okay, okay" I sighed right after he shut the lights back off and hurried back to his own bedroom. I heard his bedsprings squeak as he hopped back into his bed and yawned. I knew he'd be out like a light in no time. I however would not…
I sat in silence for what felt like hours, staring at the dark ceiling. Finally I glanced over at the clock only to notice that five minutes had passed since Edward had tucked me in. This was just not going to work. I wrestled my way out of the sheets that encompassed me, throwing them to one side as I slid out of bed. I turned on my beside light and rummaged through my nightstand to find a pad of paper and a pen. I heard Edward sigh before he hollered at me.
"What are you doing now?" he asked, a twinge of annoyance in his voice.
"I'm making a list of all the things I want to do in Paris" I explained while curling up into a ball and writing things down on the piece of paper.
"You've got to be kidding me right?" he cried. I just imagined the steam that was coming from his ears. I was having too much fun doing this to him. I knew he was utterly exhausted but he was so cute when he was mad.
"No I'm not kidding Edward" I giggled while writing down "dance in the cobblestone streets at midnight" on the pad.
"You better shut that light off right now and go to bed or this trip will be off" he threatened. I gasped.
"You wouldn't dare!" I screeched.
"Try me!"
"Aww Edward you're no fun!" I cried, before flicking my light off.
"That's me" he yawned before rustling around his sheets. "Goodnight Bella.."
"Night" I huffed as I folded my arms across my chest while lying back down. I tapped my feet together, annoyed with the fact that time would simply not pass. What the hell was I going to do to keep myself preoccupied and entertained? Then it hit me. Repacking. I loved packing and repacking suitcases…I was crazy.
I hopped off the bed quietly and tiptoed to my bedroom door, closing it slightly. I flicked the master light switch on and made my way to the suitcase that was sitting on the floor.
"Isabella Swan!" Edward roared, "get away from that suitcase!" he yelled, knowing exactly what I was about to do seeing as I'd been doing it all day.
"I just realized I forgot to pack something though" I chirped while reaching for the zipper of the suitcase.
"No you didn't. I happen to know you have everything anyone could possibly need in that monstrous suitcase"
"This coming from the guy who hasn't even packed yet!" I countered before sitting on the hardwood floor near my bags.
"That's not true!" he squawked. I laughed wholeheartedly. He was such a liar. I jetted up from the floor and headed towards his bedroom.
"Prove it" I ordered before turning the lights on in his room. He cringed in the bed and tried to cover his eyes with his arm to block the blinding light. I rested against the door frame, waiting for him to get up from bed.
"I don't have to prove anything to you" he said quietly in a voice that sounded like he was five.
"I'll just look myself then" I laughed as I crossed his room and found his suitcase sitting next to his dresser.
"Don't be ridiculous Bella…" he said quickly, sitting up in bed and attempting to throw the covers off.
"No I really want to know what you've packed so far…" I said before unzipping the lid to his small suitcase. My eyes grew wide with what I saw. I felt Edward standing right behind me and I busted out into a fit of laughter as I pulled out the two items that rested in the case.
"This is all you've packed? Two packs of condoms?" I laughed as I turned to face him. His face was beat red and he looked down towards the floor. I studied the boxes, still giggling.
"Oh my, extra large. Are you trying to be macho?" I asked playfully as I flipped the boxes over to read what was written on the back. I heard him mutter under his breath.
"Hmm…it looks like you have all the bases covered…flavoured, ribbed, extra sensitive…" I said while studying the contents of the boxes. "Even vibrating rings!" I added once I saw it. Edward wasn't enjoying this at all. His stared at me, flabbergasted.
"Oh Edward I'm just playing with you! I'm glad you're…um…well prepared" I chuckled.
"Well you're the one who led me on with all that lingerie business!" he shot back.
"Who says I was just leading you on?" I asked as I moved closer to him, my hands running over his bare chest. He didn't respond but I felt his body going rigid under my hands.
"Edward? Why would you be thinking that?" I cooed, letting my fingers trace his lips. He groaned and I smiled. My lips were on his in that very second, my fingers playing with the waistband of his boxers, my leg hitched around his. Soon after I pulled away, knowing full well that I would get carried away and ruin the excitement and thrill of Paris.
"You're terrible Bella…just terrible" he sighed as he slumped back onto the bed.
"I know" I giggled before crawling under the sheets on the right side of the bed.
"What are you doing? he asked while turning his body slightly to face me.
"Why I'm going to sleep of course" I smiled.
"Here?" he questioned. I nodded.
" Right here, beside you" I explained. In a split second Edward had switched the light off and crawled into bed beside me. I cuddled next to him.
"So I think I'm not with the teasing and jokes now…" I sighed before yawning.
"Good" he hummed, while playing with my hair.
"I just have to know one thing though Edward, are you really that well endowed?" I asked as my hand slid down his chest towards his pelvis. His hand immediately covered mine and stopped my discovery mission.
"You'll have to find that out when were in Paris…" he said while turning away from me and lying on his side.
"That's not fair! You can't leave me dying with suspicion here" I pleaded. He chuckled.
"This Bella, is what you get for keeping me up till four in the morning…"
I huffed, annoyed that Edward had beat me at my own game….
