""Nunquam lamiae morde me dice"
-- Never say bite me to a Vampire"- hehe
Bella's POV
This was absolutely ridiculous. I had been spilling my guts to Edward for the last couple of months about my fantasies and dreams and here he is refusing to let me know his. I pouted up at him.
"Why not Edward?" I asked trying to look upset. He paid no attention to me and took another sip of his coffee before placing the cup on the bed stand. I waited patiently for a response, for what felt like hours, before I saw a smile appearing on Edward's face. He leaned in close to me and placed his lips near my ear.
"Because I'd rather show you…" he whispered in a harsh yet very sexy voice. Immediately I felt myself being pulled off his lap and pushed down onto the bed. His body hovered over mine, his hips straddling mine, while his arms flanked my head. I had no idea what his intentions were until he crushed his lips onto mine. I felt the weight of his body on me now as edged closer. I kissed him back with great enthusiasm. Soon I was beginning to feel like I was suffocating…I needed air. He must have noticed since he moved his lips to my neck and began playing with the bottom of my T-shirt. I drew in a few quick breathes before attempting to pull his face back up to mine. Unfortunately my clumsiness had re-emerged and I smashed my forehead into his as I went to kiss him.
"Ow" he cringed before he lifted his weight off of me and rolled onto the bed. I felt like such an idiot. I was just about to begin apologizing when I heard laughing in the background. I discovered that Jasper was standing in the doorway, looking as giddy as could be.
"Nice job Bella…way to ruin the moment" he chuckled. He had obviously been standing there for a while. I groaned. This was just great.
"What are you doing here Jasper? Spying on us?" I asked as I swung my feet over the side of the bed. I looked back to Edward and mouthed "I'm so sorry" with a frown. He laughed lightly and winked at me.
"I was ordered...yeah I guess that's the right word, by Alice to come and get you Bella. She wants to get you ready…" Jasper explained.
"UGH!" I huffed as I pushed myself off the bed to stand up.
"Sorry" Jasper said with a shrug. "It's my room too you know…"
"JASPER!" I shouted hoping he would realize that I was annoyed and frustrated with him.
"Okay! Okay! God I'm sorry. I'll let you two be. Come on Toulouse. Lets go for a walk" he said and then turned to walk out of the room with Toulouse by his side. I slumped back onto the bed.
"Tell me this really happened…" I sighed feeling embarrassed and ashamed.
"Oh did it ever" Edward laughed as he rubbed my back.
"Great" I mumbled. I really just felt like crawling into a ball.
"Oh Bella don't worry about it. I love you for your clumsiness and Jasper won't be angry at you…" he said trying to comfort me. "We'll just have to do this another time…" he continued as he pushed my hair aside and began kissing the back of my neck and shoulders.
"Promise?" I asked trying to be flirtatious.
"Uh…yeah" he chuckled. "Now you better go and see Alice before she starts World War Three…"
"Fine" I sighed while standing up from the bed again. Edward pushed me forward with his foot.
"Get going" he said with a wink. I giggled and then skipped out of the room.
Indeed Alice was waiting for me. She was sitting on the edge of her bed and placing clothes in her suitcase. Surrounding her on the bed were several more items of clothing and shoes. No doubt she already had our outfits picked for the day. I had full intentions on wearing my sweats but Alice would never let me.
"So what am I wearing?" I asked quickly, startling Alice for her back was towards me.
"Jeeze! Don't sneak up on people like that Bella!" she laughed as she jumped off the bed and rushed to my side.
"I have everything all ready to go for you. All you need to do is shower and get dressed!" she said with glee before returning back to her bed and holding up my outfit. White shorts and a pink T-shirt. That was fair enough. I smiled at her and nodded.
"You can wear your own sandals…you know the silver ones?" she added before throwing the clothes at me.
"That's fine by me Alice"
"Good! Now go and shower while I pack" she commanded and I obliged.
I took a very quick shower and dried my hair. I slid on my outfit and walked back into the bedroom.
"Make me beautiful!" I announced to Alice as I skipped back to the bed and sat down. I could see the thrill in her eyes already as she pulled her makeup bag off the dresser and came to sit with me on the bed. In no time she had applied all my makeup and straightened my hair.
"Thanks" I said while admiring myself in the mirror. Alice was so much better with makeup then I was.
"You are very welcome!" she giggled before standing up. "I'm going to shower now. You should try and pack up all your stuff" she suggested before dodging for the bathroom.
I ambled around the room picking up miscellaneous pieces of clothing and shoes and throwing them into my duffle bag. I rushed to the front closet of the suite to see if yesterday's clothes were still there. Indeed they were so I grabbed both mine and Edwards clothes and tucked them away in the duffle bag as well. Soon enough I was done packing and Alice had emerged from the bathroom, looking gorgeous as always.
"What time is it?" she asked while adjusting her mini skirt.
"Eight thirty" I said while I fastened my watch to my wrist and put my earrings in. Then Jasper walked in.
"Hi girls" he said as he leaned against the doorframe. He had changed his outfit and looked ready to get back on the road. Alice danced over to his side and interlocked her arm with his. I on the other hand was too embarrassed to even look at him. I had never treated Jasper so terribly.
"Alice do you mind if I talk to Bella alone for a couple of minutes?" he asked before placing a kiss on her cheek. Uh oh.
"Sure! I'm going to bring our suitcases out to the front and see what Edward and Dad are up to. Meet you out there!" she chirped as she grabbed my duffle bag and her suitcases and dragged them out of the room. I kept my eyes on the comforter of my bed, tracing the pattern with my fingers, avoiding Jaspers gaze. After a few minutes I felt the bed lurch and knew that he had come to sit beside me. He still didn't speak.
"Where's Toulouse?" I asked breaking the silence but never looking up.
"With Edward…" he replied. Again there was silence and my guilt was beginning to build up inside of me.
"I'm sorry!" I blurted out as I coved my face with my hands.
"No. I'm sorry…" he said as he moved closer to me. "I shouldn't have said what I said. It was incredibly rude of me Bella…"
"I shouldn't have reacted the way I did…." I continued trying to plead my case and make him forgive me.
"Let's just forget it ever happened..." he suggested. I felt relieved. Jasper was always the rational and reasonable one of the group. He knew better than to fight and argue.
"Deal" I said as I finally raised my face to see his. I reached my hand out and he grasped it firmly and shook.
"Deal" he repeated after me. "Now let's blow this pop stand. I want to see your new house!". I laughed as I stood from the bed and grabbed my purse. I wasn't going to lie…I really wanted to see my house too. Jasper followed after me and draped his one arm over my shoulder. We walked to the front door to see everyone else waiting for us.
"All set?" Edward asked as he moved closer to me and replaced Jasper's hold on me. I had noticed that the bags had already been brought down and we were ready to leave. Toulouse sat quietly by the door, his tongue hanging out of his mouth.
"Yepp! Let's go. And everyone?" I asked trying to get Carlisle's and Jasper's attention. "Let's drive super fast today and take the short cuts okay? I really want to see the house" Everyone chuckled and then proceeded to walk out the door.

After hours of driving we finally made our last pit stop just outside of Boston. We filled the gas tanks and took a quick coffee break before hitting the road again. I was filled with excitement and I could barely sit still in the car. Carlisle had instructed Edward to take the lead in driving seeing as he was the only one who knew how to get to our house.
"Edward?" I sighed
"Yes Bella?"
"I know you can drive faster than this…." I mentioned trying to edge him on. I wanted, no, I needed him to drive faster. The suspense was killing me. He turned to face me, a huge grin appearing on his face.
"Bella Swan are you seriously asking me to drive faster?"
"Yep!" I giggled
"Your wish, my command" he said slyly before accelerating. We gained speed instantly. I watched the trees that flanked the highway fly past. Jasper and Carlisle had also adjusted their speeds to keep up with Edward. I knew they were enjoying this too.
Minutes later we were passing Harvard. I knew we'd be at the house in no time. I pulled Toulouse up onto my lap from the back seat.
"We're almost there buddy! I hope you're excited." I whispered as I played with his ears. He let out a small bark and began to prance all over my lap. He was getting excited too. I was so preoccupied with my puppy that I didn't even realize that Edward had parked the car until he spoke.
"Honey…we're home" he laughed as he undid his seatbelt and stepped out of the car. I fidgeted with my seatbelt trying to undo it as quickly as possible. After several tries I managed to set myself free and opened the door. I placed Toulouse on the ground and hopped out of the car. I turned to face my house. My jaw nearly hit the ground.
"Oh—my—god" I whispered, barely being able to get the words out. I felt the others approaching me but I couldn't move. I saw Edward, Alice and Carlisle make their way to the front steps of the house but my feet refused to follow them. I saw Jasper appear in my peripheral vision. He walked very slowly and paused to stand beside me.
"Holy shit…" he gasped
