Chapter 6:
We are about to move into our new appartment a month later. It was pretty big suprizingly. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, breakfast knook, laundry room, and family/living room. We had free rien on the decorations. Alice and Esme helped us out by picking out the decorations while Edward and I painted the walls. Rose and Emmett couldn't be here because they just recently had their wedding a week ago. (A/N: Sorry I forgot to tell you they were engaged I think. But now Rose and Em are married(;) Carlisle had work to do in the hospital.
Edward and I will stay at his parent's house for another week while we decorate. We decided just to touch up on the already neutural wall color. The next day, when the walls were dry, Alice and Esme got busy hanging up photos and decorations around the house. They would always ask for advice on where to put things or how to hang it up, but didn't listen and did it their own way instead.
I helped Edward move all of the new furnature in. We got a light wood color to match all of the cabnets. The couch is a dark brown leather. It all came together really nicely. Right now Edward and I are shopping for all of our bedroom stuff. Like bed spreads and sheets and extra linnens for our linnen closet. We decided to also get bathroom stuff for each bathroom.
"What color should we do for each?" I asked him while we were looking at towels.
"I don't care," he said.
"Well you have to care. Alice and Esme will be upset if you don't. How about neutural colors for both? Does that work?"
"Sure," he said. I picked out all of the things you would need to put together a bathroom.
When we got back to the apartment, Alice and Esme were just about finished with all of the photos. They looked great. They started placing random decorations everywhere like flowers or candles on the table. We gave them the bathroom stuff and they started on that as well.
"Want to go start loading and unloading boxes?" Esme asked.
"Sure. How many more is there? Didn't you guys already get the first load?" I asked.
"Yeah. You guys should only need to take about one trip. Take 2 cars so that you can fit everything."
"Okay," I said and we were off.
A couple weeks later everything should be all unpacked. Edward and I moved in 2 nights after we got all of the boxes in and the decorations up. Tonight was our first night in it. We were putting on the sheets to our new bed right now.
"I am so glad all of this is done," Edward said and I nodded in agreement.
"I know. I am so burnt out. Do you want to just watch a movie?" I asked and he nodded and when we were finished making the bed it was 7 so we popped in a movie.
When the movie was almost over I started to fall asleep. I finally fell into a deep slumber for the first time in our new apartment in Edward's arms.
When I woke up the next morning I was exactly where I was the night before. I felt him stur underneath him so I went up and kissed his neck all the way up to his jaw line. He smiled as I went to kiss him on the lips.
"Good morning," I said and put my head back on his chest.
"Morning. Guess what we get to do all day?"
"Ugh, don't remind me! I hate unpacking," I told him.
"Yeah, well the faster we move, the quicker it will be."
"I guess. What are we going to eat for breakfast?" I asked knowing we didn't have any food. We have either went to Esme's and ate or went out for the past week.
"Why don't we go out to breakfast and then go grocery shopping?" he suggested.
"Sounds good to me."
We took a shower and then stumbled over all of the boxes on our way out. When we were out he locked the front door and we saw our new nieghbors. They are a very nice old couple who absolutely adore us.
After eating breakfast at the local coffee shop, we went to the grocery store. We certainly learned a lot about what we like to eat. Atleast their were only some differences. Like how he likes white bread and I like wheat bread. Or what kind of drinks we want. Dr. Pepper was a must, but he also liked orange soda which was disgusting, but I let him get it anyways because I love him so much.
Two hours and $200 later we were on our way back home.
"I think we might be good on food supply for a while, what do you think?" I asked jokingly.
"Maybe. Unless Emmett decides to come over. Then we are in trouble," he said and I laughed.
When we got everything unloaded I decided to change into moving clothes to unpack everything. We decided to work on our room and bathroom first and then move to the family room, ect.
It took about 2 days to get everything absolutely done. I was suprized at how fast we worked. The next day I woke up and got a call from Rosalie.
"Hello?" I answered in a loud whisper while I walked out of the bedroom where Edward was still sleeping.
"Hey, Bella. Just wanted to tell you guys we are back," Rose said.
"How was it?" I asked while sitting on the chair at the kitchen table.
"Fantastic. I love honeymoons. Too bad it's over," she said and I laughed a little bit.
"You could always go on a second one. But not right away because I miss you guys! You have to come over. Edward and I just got settled in and our apartment looks amazing. I love it," I told her.
"Oh, we will. In fact, we don't have anything going on today. Would lunch at your place be okay?" she asked.
"Yeah, sounds great. is 12 good?" I asked eyeing the clock. it was alread 10! Oh my goodness I must have been tired last night.
"Perfect. See you then," she said.
"Bye," I said and hung up.
I had a light breakfast knowing I would be eating in a couple hours. In the middle of my granola bar, Edward came behind me and started rubbing my shoulders seeing as I was still sitting on the chair.
"Morning," I said after swallowing. He bent down and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Don't eat too much this morning. Rose and Em are coming over around 12 for lunch, which is in 2 hours."
"Oh they are back?" he asked.
"Yep. What should we make?" I asked.
"Sandwhiches?" he suggested.
"Okay. I will have to make like 8 though so Emmett doesn't complain," I said and he laughed.
We finished breakfast and then took showers. I put on my pink summer dress and dried my hair until it was straight and just left it down. I put on some eye liner and mascara and went to the kitchen to start making sandwhiches. I looked at the clock and it said I had 10 minutes until they got here.
"Babe, what kind of samdwhiches do you want to make?" I half yelled back to our room. He emerged through the hallway and came to the kitchen to help me.
"Umm..turkey? We bought lunchmeat right?" he asked.
"Yep," I said. I washed the letuce while he got out the bread and mustard. We were finishing up the last sandwhich when the doorbell rang. Edward wiped off his hands and went to get it.
"Eddie!" Emmett yelled and I heard Edward growl. I laughed and walked around back to the front door to give Rose a hug.
"Hey, your place looks great," she said.
"Thanks we have been working hard," Edward said and came from the other side to give her a hug.
"BELLLLAAA!" Emmett all but lauched himself at me at picked me up in a tight hug.
"Hi Emmy," I said and he frowned and put me down. He doesn't like him when I call him that so I said, "You call Edward Ediie, then I call you Emmy. Are we clear?"
"Yeah. Sorry," he mumbled and I gave him an appropriate hug.
"I missed my big teddy bear. How are you doing?" I asked.
"Great! I missed you too Bells," he said.
We ate the sandwhiches and talked about what they did on thier trip. They went to Hawaii and I was super jealous. I loved it there! Maybe Edward and I will go there for our honeymoon. Not that anything was offical, but I am pretty sure I am going to marry him.
Later that evening, around 9 o'clock, Edward and I were just lounging in our bed and talking about random things. I was telling him what my lesson plan entails for when the summer ends and I start teaching. I only had 2 more weeks and then I go back. Edward is starting his new job in 3 days. He seemed excited and already has a client lined up. Overall we are very happy.
We somehow ended up making out and things started to heat up a little bit. It has been a while since we have made love because I refused to do it in his parent's house and we have been busy and too tired for the past couple days we have been here. We stripped until all of our clothes were off and after finishing I fell asleep in his warm embrace.
I woke up to the sun streaming in through the crack in the curtains right on my face. I groaned and rolled over so I was on my back and in the shadded area again. I knew that once I saw the light of day I would never be able to fall back asleep. I didn't notice I was alone until I heard someone in the kitchen. Edward must have woken up already and started to make breakfast. I smiled while closing my eyes and streching while thinking about the events that occured last night.
I got out of bed and threw on a pair of sweat pants and a teeshirt and looked at my hair and decided that I didn't want to do anything because it really didn't look that bad. When I walked into the kitchen, Edward was shirtless with only a long pair of pj pants on while cooking what looked lie omlets. I went behind him and wrapped my arms around him and kissed his shoulder.
"Good morning beautiful," he said and I rolled my eyes. He always calls me beautiful when I look like a mess.
"I think you are delusional," I said.
"Thank you. I love you too," he said and laughed.
"I told you that you could wait," I congratulated him.
"I was about to explode though," he said and I laughed then walked over to sit at the kitchen table.
He dropped off my breakfast plate to me with a glass of milk and gave me a quick kiss then went to get his own food.
"Thank you for breakfast," I said.
"Your welcome. So why do you think I am delusional?" he asked.
"You always call me beautiful when I look like a mess. Clearly you have a problem," I said while eating. He is a really good cook. His food is always to die for.
He shook his head in disagreement. "Everybody has their own opinion on what is beautiful. Me, for example, think you are it. No matter what you look like, you are still beautiful."
"Okay...whatever you say," I said.
"How do you feel about going out to dinner tonight?" he asked.
"Sounds good. Where do you want to go?" I asked.
"Umm...I know this really good Chinese food place. It is really nice," he said.
"Yummy, I have been craving that for a while actually. When do you want to go?" I asked.
"How about 7? I'll call and make reservations."
"Okay," I said.
We had lazy day today and when it rolled around to about 5 I decided to start getting ready. He said it was really nice so I am going to wear a dress that Alice got me a while ago and I never got to wear it.
It is a semi-formal dress with a dark teal color underneath a layer of black see-through lace. Under the bust it has about 2 inches of just black material that wraps around to the back creating a bow. The straps are about an inch wide and are the same black material twisted with the dark teal material underneath. It is absoluely gorgegous. I have black heels to go with as well as the necklace that I wear everyday.
I showered and then blow dried my hair until it was straight and decided since I have extra time I would curl my hair and put in a black headband. I put on a strapless black bra and matching underwear and then put on the dress.
I put on my makeup after that. I decided to go with some dark teal matching eye shadow, black eyeliner with fishtails at the end on each eye and mascara. When I thought I looked decent enough I slipped on my shoes and started to walk out of the bathroom to go get Edward and tell him that I am ready.
