12. Honeymoon

Later that night, Edward called me from upstairs. I had been talking to Rosalie and Emmett about the past. When I heard Edward's voice, I rushed upstairs. He was in our room when I walked in.

"Come on, Bella. You need to pack. Of course I don't know why, considering we'll be back in two days. But nonetheless, you at least need to get out an extra pair of clothes or two."

"Alright," I said as I walked past him and kissed the back of his neck. A playful growl grew in his chest, but he didn't move. I went to the closet and looked through it. I pulled out three pairs of clothes. One pair was blue jeans with a light blue tank top. Another was my new pair of pajamas that we'd bought when we went shopping; silver silk. And the last was a pair of black shorts and a tee. I folded the three pairs of clothes up and laid them next to the couch. I went to walk over to the window and gaze out it, but I, instead, went to Edward's side. He was just standing at the side of the couch and I went over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my head against his back. I breathed in his smell and then he turned to face me. He looked deep into my eyes and then kissed me.

"We'd better get going," he said.

Bella nodded. She grabbed her pile of clothes and he grabbed his. They headed downstairs and saw everyone standing there. They each gave us a kiss and hug and Rosalie followed us out to the car. Edward went to the trunk and opened it. While we were walking, Rosalie and I talked about random things. We walked to the trunk and I handed Edward the pile of clothes that he put in the trunk and closed up. He walked around to get in the driver's side and I walked to the passenger's side. When I got there, I turned to look at Rosalie and gave her one last hug and kiss on the cheek. I turned and opened the door and sat down in the car. Rosalie said goodbye and I closed the door. She waved as we whirled passed her and out of the driveway and onto the road.

"So, where are we going exactly?" I asked.

"There's a house near Matlock that we own. Carlisle gave me the key to the house so that we could go there for our honeymoon. Unless you want to go someplace more fancy?"

"No. I'm sure that house is just as big and beautiful as our house now, and if it is, then I'm just fine with staying there." I laughed.

Edward laughed, too. "Well alright. The house is pretty big, so I guess you'll be fine." We drove for about two hours, when we finally stopped. We were parked outside a beautiful three story mansion. It was painted off white and had at least six windows in the front. They were medium and had white shutters on them. And like the other house, it had a floor to ceiling window on the west side of the house. Edward held onto my hand for a minute and then got out and came around to the other side. He opened the door and held his hand out. I took hold of his hand and he led me out. He took my face in his hands and kissed me and went to the trunk of the car. He pulled out the clothes in one arm and closed the trunk. He came back to me and took my hand in his free hand and we walked to the house. I retched into his pocket and got the key out and opened the door. When I opened the door, we both ran in and slammed the door behind us. Edward dropped the clothes onto one of the couches and came to pick me up. He picked me up into his arms and carried me upstairs, kissing me all the way. When we got to the top of the stairs, he paused.

"What?" I barely breathed.

"Nothing," he breathed back. He had placed me on my feet now and was looking at me. We both stared into each others eyes for the longest time. I finally broke the trance the both of us were in and leaned in to kiss him. He started to kiss me and started walking forward, pushing me against a wall. I hit the wall with a thud, but it never even concerned us. He continued kissing me and finally picked me up off my feet. He carried me to a closed door. He placed me on my feet again and opened the door. He backed me up into the room, and closed the door with his foot, behind us. He led me over to the couch and pushed me onto it. He stood hovered over me and looked at me. He smiled. "Do you remember when you told me that I wasn't dangerous?"

"Of course. It was the first time I'd came to your house. The night James started hunting me."

Edward shuddered at his name. "Yes it was," he said in his teasing voice. He obviously forgot about it. "And I'd convinced you otherwise."

"Yea."

"Well now I'm going to make you think that over again. You won't think that I'm not dangerous after tonight."

"I know you're not dangerous. Especially when I can teleport," I laughed.

He smiled. "You wouldn't dare?" he asked amused.

"I would dare. And you can't stop me." I teleported myself to the living room and he came after me. As soon as I saw him, I teleported to the kitchen. I then teleported to another room, and another room, and another room, and another. I teleported so much that Edward predicted my every move so I had no choice but to give up. Luckily enough, I had ended up in the bedroom.

"Are you done playing chase?" he asked.

"Yes," I sighed. We both knew that I had been defeated. I walked to the door, where he was standing, and took his face in my hands. I kissed him and he picked me up and carried me over to the couch again. He dropped me onto the couch and bent down next to me.

"Are you ready? I mean are you ready to lose to me?" he asked in his velvet voice. His refreshing breathe blew onto my face and I inhaled. He smirked.

"Yes. I'm ready to lose. But I will warn you, I'm not going to lose very easily. You will have to fight some." It was silent for a moment and then we both started to laugh.

"Are you...serious?" he choked out still laughing.

"Yes, I am."

"Alright. Well then get ready for a hell of a fight, because I don't lose easily either." He stood and so did I. I wasn't going to miss a minute of anything. He stared at me and I looked back at him with soft eyes. He went to lean in and kiss me when I mimicked his move from before. I put a finger to his lips like he had so much to me. I took the free hand and started to roll his shirt up. I dropped my finger and pulled his shirt off over his head. I let it fall to the ground and let my hands freely trace his muscular body. I could hear him groaning; I laughed.

"Are you enjoying it this much?" I asked.

"Of course. I always will, too."

"Well than, I just can't wait to hear what you sound like in a few minutes."

"Why wait a few minutes? Why not a few seconds?" Edward brought his hands up to where mine were on his chest. He took them into his powerful grip and brought them up to his mouth and kissed them. With that, he dropped my hands and started to take my shirt off. He dropped it onto the floor next to his and kissed me.

"I thought it was only going to be a few seconds?" I breathed out.

"Do you want me to go faster?" he breathed back in response.

"Of course. I want you Edward, and I don't like to wait."

"Well than, why don't you just teleport us into the future a few minutes? Course, I actually like the wait. It's more time with you."

"I will teleport us, you know?"

"Go ahead."

"Do you want me to?"

"Go ahead," he repeated.

I obeyed and teleported us two minutes into the future. By that time, we both had all our clothes off and were on the couch. It was thundering outside, good thing, because, our moans and groans would've been heard if it hadn't been. After about half an hour, we found ourselves lying next to each other on the couch covered with a blanket. Edward sighed.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Nothing. I was just thinking about how great that was. You know, you really are great?" He said that more like a question than a statement.

I laughed. "You're not so bad yourself."

"Really? I never would've known."

"Oh really now?" I asked mockingly.

"Nope," he replied laughing. "Never."

We lay on the couch the rest of the night in each other's arms. When morning came, we both sighed.

"If only we could relive last night again," Edward said.

"Yea, that would be great." I smiled with the thought forming in my mind. And of course, Edward knew what it was.

"You're not thinking about that, are you?" he asked.

"Thinking about what? I'm not thinking about anything. I would never do that."

He laughed at me. "Now Bella, you know that you can't hide those thoughts from me. I know what you're thinking before you do!"

"I know, but I thought I'd try it." I laughed. "Would you want to, though?"

"Why? I mean, yea, it was great, but, we have the rest of eternity. Why spoil everything before we're even married for a day?!"

"You have a good point, Edward. We do have the rest of eternity. But than, wouldn't it make more sense for this to be our first time? I mean, you couldn't have forgotten the first time, could you?"

"Of course not. How could I? Your dad almost caught us. But luckily for us, I got you back in your room before he came upstairs."

"Luckily for you? Who are you trying to fool? I helped, too."

"With what? You didn't help with anything!" He smiled and leaned down to kiss me. I beat him to the punch, though, and leaned in and kissed him. "And as much as I'd love to just lay here with you for the rest of the day, we need to get back. I promised Alice I'd go hunting with her. And she wants to go this afternoon. It's supposed to be sunny this afternoon. Nice time for all the bear and dear to be out. Do you want to come? It's been awhile since you last ate. And you're new, you need to eat more often than the rest of us do. Come to think about it, Jasper needs to eat, too. As far as I know, the last time he ate was when he went with us the night of change."

"Sure. I am pretty hungry. When are we going?"

"Whenever we get back. But Alice is getting pretty hungry. I don't know why, though. She ate the same time we all did. And I'm not hungry, but she is, for some reason, and I did promise. I promised I'd go hunting with her all the time. I promised her many, many years ago. She went out into the woods, to hunt, by herself, and she almost got killed."

"Killed? How?"

"Well, I don't really know all the details, because she never told anyone exactly what happened, and she made me promise not to invade her mind and find out. And I promised. But what I do know is this. She went off on her own, like when she first came to us and asked Carlisle to change her, and, I guess, got attacked. She told us that she was following a dear, when she heard something behind her. She thought that it was me or Carlisle, but she didn't know than that we're quiet when we come up behind people or other things. Well, so she turned around and was staring into the rabid yellow eyes of a black bear. She didn't enough experience back than and went to run away from the bear, but the bear was quicker than her and attacked her. It sounds kind of strange, but that's what she said. And we're not going to doubt her. And I promised not to invade her thoughts and find out. I guess something happened that she doesn't want anyone to know. And we respect that. So ever since than, I promised to always go hunting with her. No matter what."

"You're right, that does sound a little strange and hard to believe, but I guess..." I trailed off.

"Hey, don't worry about it. Alice is a strong girl. But she is a softy on the inside. Believe me." He leaned down and kissed my forehead. And than he got up off the couch and headed over to where we both let our clothes fall the previous night and picked them up. "I'll be right back." He exited the room and I heard him head downstairs to get the clothes that he threw on the couch last night.

I lay on the couch for a few minutes just staring off into space. My thoughts were interrupted by Edward's breathe on my neck. I looked toward him and stared into his honeysuckle gold eyes. He smiled at me kissed me. I kissed him back passionately and he handed me my clothes and I got up and got dressed. I noticed, while I was getting dressed, that Edward had on a white see-through shirt that was unbuttoned and faded black jeans. I put on my black shorts and tee. 'Why did I bring two pairs of clothes?' I thought. Edward smiled at me, obvious that he'd read my thoughts.

"Because I told you to?" he asked. He laughed and looked deep into my eyes. "Why did you? I can't remember. I, honestly, can't remember anything before midnight last night. I kind of lost all my thoughts when we got here." He smiled at me to let me know that he was joking.

"Well yea, you did tell me to pack two or three pairs of clothes yesterday. Why did you tell me that? Did you have something else planned in mind? Something secret?"

"Well, I guess you could say secret. I mean, well, it is a secret that you don't know. It actually has something to do with us going hunting with Alice. And just to let you know, Alice does know about it. Just in case you're wondering. But, since it's a secret, you can't know until later. So if you want to know, we need to get back. So let's go."

He grabbed the clothes up in one arm and took hold of my hand in his free one. We walked downstairs and out the door and headed to the car. When we got there, he put the clothes in the trunk and walked around to the front of the car. He looked at me. "Do you want to drive?" he asked while dangling the keys in his hand.

"Sure." I got the keys off him and hoped into the driver's seat. Edward got into the passenger's seat and I kissed him. I put the key into the ignition and started the car. Than we headed away from the beautiful mansion, that was now ours, and headed back to the house.
