A/N I thought of this chapter a while ago, it was actually going to be the first
chapter of this story. But, alas, the game fuck was too irresistible to post. I don't know what happened with the last chapter, it was up funny, I think it was because I wrote it on Emily's computer. Sorry bout that! Anyway, here is chapter three!
(Edward's POV)
My love was on my couch, reading a book, when I interrupted.
"Bella?"
She looked up.
"Would you like to do something with me tonight?"
"Well that depends," she said, while placing a bookmark where she left off and
closing the book. "All you have to do is stay with me the whole time, and I'm
in." She smiled.
She would never know how much her beautiful smile allures me, if Alice hadn't
already told her. She probably told her everything that I thought was beautiful
about her, and the thought was terrifying.
"Oh, you wouldn't have to worry about that. Tonight will be just about you and
me."
"Sound great, Edward! We haven't had some alone time like that in awhile. It'll
be nice."
"It will be wonderful," I said, and I went to sit next to her. I leaned forward,
and she accepted my kiss. She pulled away reluctantly.
"Where are we going, Edward" she asked. "I don't want to be dressed all wrong."
She frowned.
"Oh, Alice would never let that happen!" I said sarcastically.
She moaned. "I am so not being Bella Barbie again. Do you know the torture that
girl puts me through?"
"Actually, I do. She does it to us sometimes too, you know." I winced at the
memory.
She patted my back. "I wont let her do that to you anymore."
"Good luck trying," I mumbled.
Edward, you are taking FOREVER! What's taking so long?! Impatience and I do not
mix, boy! Alice's thoughts came to me. Bring her down here already!
I scowled. "Bella, we should probably go downstairs before Alice hurts herself
by bouncing through the roof," I said, loud enough for Alice to hear downstairs.
I swiped up Bella bridal style, and ran downstairs. As I had predicted, Alice
was bouncing in place, waiting for us to come downstairs.
"I thought you would never come! Give her to me!" Alice held out her arms, so
she could take Bella.
Bella looked at me with the most terrified face, and I hugged her tighter.
"No. No 'Bella Barbie' anymore. If she doesn't enjoy it, she doesn't have to do
it," I said.
Alice looked at me incredulously. "Try me."
The look she sent me chilled me to the bone, and Bella sighed.
"I suppose that one last time wouldn't hurt…"
Alice squealed in delight, and took her from my arms and dashed into her room.
I sat down on the couch closest to the window, and took the CD from my pocket. I
was examining it when a booming voice came from a few feet away.
"Hey my brother! What 'cha got there?" he asked. Before I could respond, he
ripped the CD from my hands, starting to look at it. His face crumpled into one
of disgust when he was reading it.
"What the hell do you have this for?" he asked.
I sighed. "It's for Bella and I tonight. I am taking her to the beach, and I
thought that she might like some romantic music. Alice said she would like it,"
I explained.
He raised his eyebrows. "Does that mean you're gonna…"
I knew where he was headed, and I punched his arm really hard.
"OW!" he yelped, rubbing his arm. "Dude that HURT!"
I smiled. "That was the whole point."
"You know what, Eddie? I think that you should go to –"
"Boys! Be nice! We have company, and no one likes to hear you two fight!
Especially Bella! So stop it right now!" Esme yelled. She may be tiny, but she
has the biggest lungs in the family. And that says something. Alice is such a
bigmouth!
"Sorry Esme," Emmett and I called in harmony. It sounded rehearsed, which of
course it was. I heard her angry sigh from the kitchen.
I looked out the window for a moment, and started to think about Bella. I
promised that whenever Alice got her way and dressed up Bella, I had promised
not to look, for the surprise. I wanted to see her so badly that a sneak peek
couldn't hurt…
At that moment, Emmett gave me my CD back. "Here, I don't want it to rub off on
me too much."
"Whatever." I snatched it from his hands and put it back into my pocket.
I heard a snicker from the top of the stairs. "Will you two boys ever stop
fighting?"
"Probably not," we said at the same time.
"Well stop for a minute, 'cause I have someone to show you!" Alice sang. "Emmett,
go away! This is their moment!" she hissed at him.
He was mumbling some unintelligible things as he stalked into his room to meet
with Rose. When we heard his door slam, she continued.
"Anyway, here is BELLA!" she stepped aside to show a beautiful Bella. Bella
started to walk carefully down the stairs, as careful as Bella can possibly be.
I examined her with awe, again realizing how lucky I was to have such a
beautiful, intelligent girl such as Bella in my life. Or, less ironically, my
existence.
Her hair flowed nicely down her back, and it was glittering. Alice must have put
sparkles in her hair. She had a blue bikini on under a summer dress, which was
brown. It complemented her hair and eyes lovely. Alice had also put her in death
traps as Bella would call them, clear ones that were very high and made her
wobble every two steps or so. Altogether, she looked like she had just walked
out of a fashion magazine. I could only stare at her with my mouth agape, but
she didn't notice. She was entirely concentrated on getting down the stairs
without killing herself, which I was glad she was watching out for.
I tried to not stare too much, I didn't want to make her uncomfortable, but I
couldn't help myself. She looked so damn adorable, and I am so glad she is all
mine.
On the fourth step from the bottom, she tripped. I was expecting this, and so
was Alice, so I was quickly by her side, catching my beloved.
She flushed tomato red, and it made her look even more glorious somehow. I could
not see why she saw herself as 'not that pretty,' as she once put it. She does
not see herself clearly at all, but I think that Alice and Rosalie are helping
with her self-esteem. I would have to thank them for that before I kill them for
making Bella be their doll again.
"Careful, Love," I breathed. It made her blush deeper.
Alice was staring at us, and over Bella's head, I signaled for her to leave.
In a minute! She thought. I sighed.
"What's wrong?" Bella asked, worried.
"Nothing, just a small voice at the back of my head that's getting on my
nerves." I said that while staring at Alice. Alice glared at me.
"We could do this another time…" Bella trailed off, though I knew that she did
nowhere near want to put this off.
"No! I mean, its just Alice. She is very annoying. Lets go before Rosalie comes
down too," I said, pulling her toward the door.
Speak of the devil, and the devil shall come.
"Awwwwwwww! Look how so damn cute they look! We did good!" Rosalie slapped
Alice's waiting hand.
I groaned. I picked up Bella, ran outside, and placed her in the passenger seat
of my Volvo. I buckled her in quickly, and then I was in my own seat, starting
the engine.
"So, have you figured out where we are going yet?" I asked her.
"Well, I had my money on a casino, but I think that was changed when Alice
brought out the bikinis," she said jokingly. Her nose crinkled when she mentioned Alice
and her clothes. I couldn't blame her. Her expression made me laugh, though.
We arrived within minutes, at the perfect time, just as the sun was setting.
"We're here."
A/N kinda short, I know, but trust me on this, the next chapter will be much longer. If anyone has anything that they think should happen in the next chapter, put it in a review! Leave me a cookie!
