Chapter 5
"I'd like mornings better if they started later"
Bella's POV
I woke up to the sound of my alarm buzzing. I reached to shut it off and then placed my head back on my pillow. I defiantly did not want to get up. What the hell was Edward thinking? Why would he make me get up so early? He knew that I was not a morning person. "This surprise better be a good one or else Edward's gonna get it…and not in a good way" I thought to myself.
As badly as I didn't want to get up, I threw the covers off my bed and slipped my feet into my fuzzy slippers. I sat on my bed for awhile not wanting to move. I was seriously contemplating going right back to sleep. "Ugh" I grunted. I knew I had to get moving. Edward would be here in less than an hour.
I walked to the bathroom and noticed there was a post it stuck to the mirror. It was from Charlie. He had left me a note saying he had to leave super early this morning, something about a suspicious house fire. He told me he'd see me when I got home and told me he loved me. I took the post it off the mirror and threw it into the trash. "That was nice of him" I thought to myself. I then proceeded to brush my teeth and wash my face. I had huge bags under my eyes but I'd have to deal with those later. I moved on to combing my hair out. I had left it wet last night when I went to bed and it was a tad bit out of control. I decided I'd lightly curl it and gel it down. After 10 minutes my hair was practically perfect. Alice would be so proud that I was following her beauty tips and tricks. She always insisted that I look my best no matter where I was going and I was beginning to agree with her. There was nothing wrong with looking good right?
I made my way back to my room and sat at my vanity. I had tons of makeup thrown all over the table. Alice and Rose would always buy me makeup when they took what seemed like their weekly visits to M.A.C. I grabbed concealer first. I had to cover up these bags. After playing with the makeup for awhile the bags were totally covered up. I though I had actually done a pretty decent job. Next I applied powder all over my face and moved onto blush. I was so pale and fair that I had to wear blush or else I'd look dead. It was the sad truth. I picked a pretty bubblegum pink shade and applied it to the apples of my cheeks. Next came the eye shadow. I couldn't be bothered with eye liner so I just picked a pretty purple shade and covered my lids. I was almost done. Thank God! "This makeup thing is quite tedious" I said to myself. I applied some mascara and a deep pink lip gloss. I leaned into the mirror to check myself out. I'd done a pretty good job: no bags and my face actually had some colour.
I looked at my clock to make sure I still had enough time to get dressed. It was 6:15 so I was making perfect time. I ran to my closet and pulled out a white denim skirt that went to about my mid thigh and a deep purple embroidered tank that gathered at the waist. I slipped the clothes on quickly and grabbed a pair of silver flats that sat near my bed. I grabbed my watch off my nightstand and put a pair of diamond studs that Edward had gotten me for my birthday in my ears. I walked to the mirror to take a final look at myself. Everything seemed fine. "Hell I look pretty good actually" I said to myself.
I had 10 minutes to spare before Edward would come knocking at my door. I quickly made my bed and grabbed my purse before running downstairs. As I approached the bottom stair I heard a gentle knock at my door. I practically flew to the door. I was so excited to see Edward. I yanked the door open and there he stood, looking as handsome as ever. He was wearing a pair of brown shorts, a white polo shirt, and white tennis shoes. He had on pair of sunglasses too and the watch I had bought him for our first anniversary. His hair was slightly gelled up as well. "God you look so hot" I blurted out. I could never control myself around Edward. My brain would just not function properly
"Well good morning to you too babe" he said with a chuckle and leaned down to kiss me on the lips. "And may I say that I think you look extraordinarily hot this morning too" as he went to kiss me one more time. I was melting in his very presence. He slowly pulled away from me.
"Hi" I whispered.
"Hi love" he spoke very softly in my ear. He straightened up and I saw him wiping my lip gloss off his lips. "Watermelon eh? That's my favourite you know…." And he attacked my lips once more. He quickly pulled away and looked at me "Are you ready to get going Bella?" he asked me.
I was in awe. I made a mental note to wear watermelon lip gloss everyday. "Oh yes! Where are we going anyways?"
"That missy is a surprise" he said and placed a kiss on the tip of my nose. He escorted me to his car and opened the door for me. I slipped in very carefully to make sure my skirt didn't rise up too much. I saw Edward take a glance at my thighs and lick his lips. He then quickly shut the door and got into the drivers seat.
He put the car in reverse and began to back out of my driveway. In no time he had made it to the highway. He reached over, entwined his index finger with my pinkie finger and rested our hands on the centre console.
"Edward can you please tell me where were going?" I asked
"You'll see in due time babe. I can tell you that you're going to be excited though…well at least I hope you will be" he said averting his eyes from the road and giving me a quick glance.
"Why must you torture me like this!? I hate surprises Edward. I will hurt you if you don't tell me where we're going this instant!" I giggled.
"I think I can handle the pain Bella. Actually I think I'd enjoy it far too much. It doesn't matter much now anyways because we're here!" he said with great enthusiasm.
I looked out the windows of the car. We were at the Washington Airport. What the heck were we doing here?
"Why are we here?" I asked Edward very quickly.
"Oh well ya know…I wanted to take you on a trip…" he said pulling his sunglasses up to rest on his head and smiling.
"What! Where? Why!?" I asked. I didn't even give him a chance to respond before I spoke again. "I can't go anywhere! I didn't pack anything! I don't even have my passport Edward! I can't fly without it…"
"Open you're purse Bella" Edward said without a second thought
I pulled my purse up from its spot near my feet and yanked the zipper open. There on top of my wallet sat my passport. "How?" I gasped.
"Charlie" Edward replied. "You see Bella I'm taking you to Boston for a few days. You need to see Harvard before we start school. Don't worry about clothes and stuff. Alice bought you everything you could possibly need. Our luggage is packed and ready to go in the trunk. SURPRIZE!" he joked.
"Oh my…." Was all I managed to get out.
"Do you like your surprise Bells?" Edward asked eyeing me.
"UH YEAH!" I yelled and pulled him into a huge hug. I was totally shocked. No one had ever done anything like this for me before. I was so excited.
"Good!" he said and got out of the car. He opened my door and helped me out before rushing to the trunk. He pulled out three suitcases.
"Edward? Why are there three suitcases" I asked him
"Alice. Need I say more?" he laughed
"Nope! That explains everything!" I smiled up at him and stood on my tippy toes to kiss him. He gave me a quick peck and then returned to grabbing stuff out of the trunk. I saw him pull out his laptop bag, a carry on bag, and a huge purse.
"Here" he said gesturing for me to grab the purse from his hands. "Alice has packed everything for you. All you need to do is empty your purse into this one"
I took the purse and opened it. Inside were all kinds of lip glosses, candies, sunglasses, gum, an iPod….everything. "Wow" I said before putting my wallet, passport, and cell phone into my new purse.
"Ok Sweets lets get a move on!" Edward exclaimed before throwing my old purse into his trunk and closing it. I grabbed one of the suitcases and threw my carry on and my purse over my shoulder. Edward already had his laptop bag strapped on his back and was pulling the other two suitcases.
We began walking to the entrance of the airport. I checked my watch. It was already 7:15am.
"So?" Edward said. "What do you think Bella?"
"Oh Edward! This is the best surprise anyone has ever given me! You really shouldn't have done this…thank you" I let my voice trail off…
"Anything for you Bells. I'm glad you like this surprise" and he stopped walking for a second and bent down to kiss me. It was a quick kiss but I enjoyed every second of it.
He started walking again and I followed. We had finally reached the entrance of the airport and Edward ushered me to the line up for American Airlines. When it was our turn to approach the counter Edward hoisted our luggage onto the scale for weighing. "It's going to be over the weight limit…Cindy" he said while eyeing the attendants name tag. "How much do I have to pay?" Cindy smiled at Edward and began to look him up and down. Oh how I hated when other women checked Edward out. I was just about to perk up and say something when Cindy told Edward not to worry about it. She tagged our luggage and printed off our tickets for us. Edward thanked Cindy and we headed off to clear security.
Once we had made it through the x-ray machines, we collected our belongings and put our shoes back on. Edward hurried to put his belt back on and then grabbed my hand pulling me towards gate six.
"The plane should be here by now" he said as we rounded a corner and sure enough the plane was. He squeezed my hand a bit tighter. I knew he was really excited to be doing this. We sat while we waited to be called to board the plane. At one point he pulled me into his lap and kissed me quite hard. We he broke away he began kissing my neck. I felt a bit odd. I was not one for public displays of affection but I refused to stop him.
"You know how much I love you right?" he whispered in my ear.
"I love you more" I announced while pulling his face up to meet mine. I kissed him quickly and then realized they were starting to allow people to board the plane. A chubby man got on the speaker system and asked for all people who were travelling to Boston first class to approach the gate. Edward slipped me off his lap and grabbed his laptop case and my carry on. He then reached for my hand and I intertwined my fingers with his. I placed my purse onto my shoulder and began walking to the gate. Edward handed the attendant our tickets and we walked down the connecting tunnel to the aircraft. I was so excited I began skipping down the tunnel, leaving Edward behind me. I turned to face him, blew him a kiss, and before I knew it he ran at me, picked me up bridal style and nuzzled his face in my neck. At this point everyone was watching us so I tapped Edward's shoulder and he looked up to see the crowd we had attracted. He put me back on the ground, grabbed my hand and kissed it. "You have no idea how happy you make me Isabella Swan" he said and pulled me towards the plane.
We boarded quickly, threw our bags into the overhead compartments and sat in our seats. Before I knew it the plane was backing away from the gate getting ready for take off. Edward took my seatbelt and fastened it for me. I had totally forgotten to do it up. "Thanks" I said and smiled at him. He grinned and began caressing my bare thigh. In a matter of seconds I felt us taking off. I had a feeling this was going to be the best trip of my life…
