Chapter 2
BPOV
Edward and I sat on my bedroom floor looking through my scrapbook for the next hour.
"You two have done a lot of crazy stuff," Edward commented when I closed the book.
"Yeah, well it's the way were are. We've been close since we were in diapers and we always will be. Zoey is like my sister," I said.
"That's sweet. I hope to meet her in person one day before your change," Edward said.
"She said she's going to try to make it to the wedding. She doesn't know if she can yet. Her mom is thinking about it, but she'll probably say yes. Her mom is just as hair-brained as Renee," I said.
Edward and I made an deal the night before him and his family destroyed the army of newborns and Victoria. The deal was, if I marry him, he will change me into a vampire and make love to me before he changes me. I unwillingly agreed to it. It's the only chance I got if I want Edward to change me. I mean, there's always Carlisle who could do it, but I want Edward to do it. Somehow, it's going to make me feel closer to him.
Of course, when we told my parents, their reaction was the complete opposite of what I expected. I expected Charlie to shoot at Edward, and Renee scream and tell me that I was making a huge mistake. Of course, they didn't do any of those things.
Charlie said, "I knew this was going to happen.
Renee said, "Oh, Bella! I'm so happy for you two! Do you think Phil will be out of his cast before the wedding so he can wear a tux."
Renee's reaction surprised me the most. Marriage before your 30 is worse than boiling live puppies on her list. She just told me that I was never a teenager and wouldn't make her mistakes when I asked her if she was feeling okay.
So here we are, 3 months away from the wedding. Alice is always bugging me about fitting, cake, the bridesmaid dresses; which her and Zoey are going to be; flowers, and all that other stuff I don't really care about. But if it makes Edward happy, I'll do it.
Edward and I walked downstairs into the kitchen.
"Well, it looks like the storm is here sooner than we thought it would be," Edward said.
"What?" I asked looking up from him.
He pointed out the window. I looked over and saw snow falling like there was no tomorrow and a thick blanket of snow laid on the ground. Oh no.
"Awe, man! Come on! Couldn't it have waited until I was asleep?" I complained.
Edward laughed and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind me.
"How about I make you some hot chocolate and we watch a movie," he whispered in my ear. I smiled.
"Sounds great," I said. I kissed his cheek and made my way to the living room to pick out a movie.
Charlie wouldn't be home for a few hours, so I decided to pick a long movie. We didn't have many to choose from, but we did have great ones.
I ended up choosing Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. I popped the movie in just as Edward came in with my hot chocolate. I love this man.
"What did you pick?" he asked as we cuddled up next to each other.
"Pirates of the Caribbean," I said.
"Which one?" he asked.
"The third one," I said blowing on my hot chocolate.
Edward groaned.
"What?" I asked.
"Why did you choose this movie?" he asked.
"Because, it's funny and the romance it awesome," I said innocently. The real reason was because Orlando Bloom was in it. That guy is so sexy, but not as sexy as Edward. I actually use to have a crush on him before I met Edward.
"Bella, you're a bad liar. Why did you pick this movie exactly?" he asked. He knew me too well.
"Because one of the actors is really cute. Okay?" I said, blushing.
Edward started laughing.
"Oh, really? And which one is that?" he said in my ear.
I sighed. He'll find out eventually.
"Orlando Bloom. I use to have a huge crush on him before I met you. There, happy? Now. shut up so I can watch this man in his hot pirate suit," I joked, looking at the TV.
I felt Edward freeze at my side. I smirked, knowing I just caught his attention and made him think I thought someone was better looking than him. Pssh! Yeah right! Like there is anyone hotter than Edward Cullen.
"Bella?" Edward asked.
I ignored him and kept my eyes on the TV. I'm going to let him squirm. This should be fun.
"Bella?" Edward asked, this time poking my shoulder. I still ignored. I decided to play with him a little bit.
Orlando Bloom came on the screen and I sighed.
"Oh, Orlando. You look so hot with water coming down your chest," I said in a girly voice. I tried to control my silent giggles as I felt Edward stiffen next to me. This was just too much fun.
"Oh, you sexy, strong man!" I said when it showed Orlando fighting off other men.
Suddenly, the TV flipped off. I looked over and saw that Edward had switched it off.
"Hey! I was watching that sexy man fight off all those people!" I joked.
Edward was glaring at me. He started to get up and head for the door. I stood up and caught him before he opened the door.
"Edward, wait!" I said.
"Why, Bella? So I can watch you drool over another guy?" he said, turning and glaring at me. Wow, he was mad. He actually looked like a vampire. I took one giant step back.
"Edward, I-"
"No, Bella. Don't bother," he said turning again.
Before he even touched the knob, I wrapped my arms around his waist.
"Edward, I was just joking with you. It was fun to watch you squirm. That's all. I didn't mean to make you mad," I said, serious now.
He just kept looking at the door.
"Edward, I'm sorry if I made you mad. I was only joking, I swear. I would be stupid if I loved someone else. You're the only man I love," I said. Edward turned around and wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm sorry if I overreacted," he said.
I gave him a quick kiss.
"It's okay. I understand. I shouldn't have joked like that. But I promise you that you're the only man I love," I said.
Edward kissed me this time, a little longer.
"Good," he said.
"But it was funny to see you jealous," I said as we went to sit back on the couch.
"I was not jealous," he said.
"Okay, keep telling yourself that, honey," I said, turning the TV back on. Edward sighed and we went back to watching the movie.
In the end, I ended up crying when Will had to leave Elizabeth for 10 years and not see her until those 10 years were up.
"Why are you crying?" Edward asked kissing the tears on my cheek.
"Because, he has to leave," I said.
"So…." Edward said.
"Were you not paying attention?" I asked.
"Not really. I was mostly watching you," he said.
"Well, Will almost died, so Jack got him to stab Davy Jones' heart and so Will has to leave for 10 years and not see Elizabeth again until the 10 years are over," I said.
"And? It's just a movie," Edward said.
"Picture it this way. You're fixing to die so I get you to stab the heart and you have to leave me for 10 years. Then, when 10 years have passed, you can only come back for 1 day to see me, but then have to leave for another 10 years," I said, trying to get him to see why I was crying.
His eyes widened.
"That will never happen," he said, pulling me closer to him.
"Now you know why I was crying," I said.
We heard the front door open, which meant Charlie was home.
"Hey, kids. Edward, I don't think you can get home tonight," Charlie said coming in.
"Why is that, Charlie?" Edward asked.
"The snow has to be at least 5 feet thick and it's storming pretty bad out there. You can stay here for the night if you need to," Charlie said.
I, for one, was shocked. Charlie, telling Edward he could stay the night? Pinch me, I must be dreaming.
"Are you sure, Charlie. I can drive home," Edward said.
"Nonsense. You can stay here for the night. Bells, get him a bed set up," Charlie said. I nodded.
I took Edward upstairs with me to get blankets out of the cupboard. Edward would be spending the night in my room like every night, but we have to make it look like he slept on the couch.
"Who in the world is that and what has he done with Charlie?" I asked Edward while we made his bed.
"He's trying to be nice and show he really cares. He knows that we love each other and he's trying to keep me safe, to keep you safe," Edward said.
"Me? How could you not driving in snow not keep me safe?" I asked.
"Because, he knows what would happen if you lost me again," he said, wincing.
"Oh," I said.
He was referring to when he left me and I wasn't in the best condition. Even Zoey couldn't cheer me up. She called me so many times, but I always ignored her calls. I'm surprised she still talks to me since I blew her off all the time. But she said she understood that I lost the love of my life and that she would have been the same to me if she lost the love of her life. Gotta love that girl.
