Alice was waiting on the steps for us when we pulled up at her house in my roaring truck. She hoped down as hugged me as soon as I stepped out of the cab. I hugged her back. Edward grabbed my bags from the back and the three of us walked hand and hand in the front door. Esme was sitting at the kitchen table, leaning over several large books.
"Bella, we want your opinion. Rosalie says Blood red, Esme says cream, and I say blue. What do you say?" She pulled me over to Esme and pointed to three color samples laid out on the table. I pulled edward along after me.
"For what, exactly?" I asked, looking them over.
"Oh, for everything. Bridesmaid dresses, best man's tie, Edward's tie, table cloths..." she rambled, flinging her hands around so much I had to duck behind Edward to keep from getting hit.
"Alice, Alice, that's enough." Edward said, clamping a hand over her mouth. She grunted her distaste at being manhandled. "We just got here, and we would like to spend some time alone. Wait until tomorrow to harass us about color schemes." he reached for my hand and pulled me up to his room. In the center of the floor was something brand new.
"Edward! Why did you go and do that? I could have slept on the couch, it's comfortable enough." the bed was huge. King sized, at least.
"You know you would rather sleep on this. Besides, if you sleep on the couch, how am I supposed lie next to you?" he wrapped his arms around me from behind, his cold fingers sliding below the waist band of my jeans, making me shiver.
"My god!"I gasped. Leaning back into him.
"Edward is just fine." I slapped him, laughing. I turned aroung and slipped my arms around him.
"That is s lame." I said, burrowing my face into his chest. "But I love you anyways." One of Edward's hands made their way down my back, and to the back of my thigh. He grabbed my leg and hitched it around his waist. I gasped, but kept my leg there.
"Are we really gonna... do this?" I asked him.
"Only if you want to." he leaned down and kissed me lightly, runninghis fingers through my hair.
"Yes. Yes, I want to." I pulled him down t me for a real kiss.
