Chapter 15
Edward's POV
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce for the first time ever! Mr. and Mrs. Edward Anthony Cullen!" the DJ said, talking in a microphone.
I looked down at my beautiful wife. She had on huge white dress. She looked like Cinderella. Her hair was up and in a bun. Her makeup wasn't over the top. It was calm and neutral looking. Bella looked at me and gave me the biggest smile.
"You ready, Mrs. Cullen?" I asked, taking her hand before we walked around the wall to our friends and families.
"I sure am, Mr. Cullen." Bella said kissing me on the lips. We walked out and everyone cheered and screamed. Someone started throwing rice. I looked up, shielding my face with my hand, and saw it was Emmett. He was standing on a table and had a huge bag of uncooked rice in his hand. Didn't anyone tell him that the rice is for when we leave? Not when we arrive at the reception.
"Emmett!" Bella and I both screamed at him. He laughed and jumped down from the table. He ran up to us and spilled the entire back on our heads. Oh he was going to get it!
I looked at Bella and she was laughing trying to get the rice out of her hair. I tried helping her, but we got bombarded by people coming up to us wishing us a 'congratulations'. Bella was pulled in different directions trying to say hello to everyone, but I never let her get too far. Every time someone would pull her away I would pull her back to my side.
"Now it's time for the bride and groom to have their first dance!" the DJ spoke. I pulled Bella to the middle of the dance floor and held her as close as possible to me. We danced our first dance with ease. But I didn't let her go once the song was finished. Everyone started joining in, and we were surrounding by couples dancing around us.
"Did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?" I whispered in her ear.
"Only about a thousand times." Bella giggled.
"Well it's true, my love. You are stunning."
"Too bad though." Bella said looking up at me.
"Too bad what?" I asked puzzled.
"Too bad I'm going to break your heart." Bella said looking serious.
"What are you talking about?"
Bella took a step back from me. Her whole body tensed up, and her eyes were turning a very disturbing color. Deep red.
"Bella!" I said. I didn't believe what I was seeing. Bella got low to the ground and before I could blink she lunged at me and I fell to the ground. Bella was on top of me staring at me with those red eyes.
"Edward Cullen." She growled. "You're dead to me!" I didn't have time to respond because Bella had sunk her teeth deep into my neck. She was a vampire.
"Holy Shit!" I yelled. My hands went straight to my neck. I was breathing hard. I sat up and looked around. I was still in Bella's bedroom. It was just a dream. I thought to myself. What an awful dream about getting married!
"You okay?" I heard a voice say. I looked around and saw that Bella was sitting at her desk in front of the computer. She had on a t shirt and sweat pants. Her hair was down, but wasn't fixed. She had on her reading glasses. She looked beautiful without trying.
"Yea. Just a bad dream." I said feeling kind of stupid. I just freaked out over a silly dream. Well the wedding part wasn't silly. It was the whole Bella being a vampire, trying to kill me. Now that was fucked up.
"Want to talk about it?" Bella asked turning around in her chair facing me.
"No it was stupid." I said. I really have to stop watching vampire movies.
"Okay." Bella said turning back around to face her computer.
"What time is it?" I said rubbing my face and yawning.
"1pm." Bella said looking at her phone.
"Wow we slept almost half the day." I said lying back down and stretching my arms and feet.
"Yep." Bella said. She really was acting weird. Was she mad at me? There was nothing to mad about. We are back together and getting married. We should be happy right now, right?
"Are you mad?" I asked.
"Why would I be mad?" Bella was typing away at her computer, but I couldn't see the screen. Her head was in the way.
"I don't know. You're acting weird."
"No I'm not. I'm just kind of busy." Bella said. She sounded annoyed. I didn't want to get on her bad side so I backed off.
"Look I don't mean to sound rude, but I kind of have a lot to do today. So if you could just leave." Bella said. She still wasn't looking at me. Okay she was mad about something.
"Okay. Can we hang out later or something?" I asked getting out of her bed.
"Yea. I'll call you." Bella said.
"Okay." I walked over to her and tried to give her a kiss. She didn't turn her head to let me kiss her on the lips. So I just settled for kissing her on the cheek.
"I guess I'll see you later then." I said walking out the door. She was mad. She wouldn't tell me what was wrong. I could only guess the reason for her acting like this was because of what ever made her cry last night. She never told me what was bothering her. I made it to the door, but I didn't open it. Was it safe to walk out the front door? Do I have to climb down the tree? I didn't have my car here. Last night Emmett picked Jasper and I up from our house. Jasper. How did he get home? I thought.
"My parents are gone." Bella said. She must have noticed my hesitance.
"Um…Well that's not the problem." I said pulling on my hair. I felt embarrassed to ask her for a ride home. Especially when she was like this.
"Jasper dropped off your car about an hour ago. He and Emmett went eat lunch."
"Oh." I still wasn't moving. I wanted her to talk to me. "You can talk to me you know?" I said hoping she would take me up on my offer.
"Edward." Bella said aggravated. She turned to face me. She looked like she was about to bitch me out, but her face turned clam after a few seconds. She got up and walked over to me.
"If we are going to get married I need to figure out something's. Like where we're going to live, I need a job; we have to tell our parents, I have to actually plan the thing. It's a lot to do. I'm sorry if I was being a bitch earlier, but I just lost my two best friends in the entire world, and maybe even Emmett because I chose you. I'm putting you before everyone. And now I have to suffer the consequences." Bella said. She started to tear up but I pulled her to me and held onto her.
"That's why you were crying?" I asked.
"Well that was part of it." She said.
"Was Tanya the other part?" I said whipping away a tear that had trickled down her face. I knew Bella all too well. I knew she wasn't going to let it go.
"No. more like a third." Bella smiled. She was always good at math. Me on the other hand…
"So what was the other…..ugh….wait don't tell me I can do it." I was counting in my head. I was never good at fractions.
"Don't worry about it. It's over. Never again." Bella reached up to kiss me. I kissed her back.
"Do I really have to leave?" I asked. I finally got her to talk.
"No you can stay, but only if you help me find an apartment and a job." Bella said smiling.
She led me over to the computer. I sat down in the desk chair first and she sat in my lap. I couldn't help but smell her hair. It always smelled like strawberries. I kissed along her neck, but she slapped me saying that I was distracting her. I ran my hand up and down her thighs, but she went to get another chair and forced me to sit on the side of her.
"Please behave." Bella scolded me.
"Yes mom!" I said sarcastically rolling my eyes at her.
An hour went by and we were about to kill each other. Bella found a great apartment only a block away from school, but the rent was 500 dollars. There was no way I could afford that.
"But it's perfect! It's a good size and has a washer and dryer." Bella debated.
"Bella how are we going to come up with 500 dollars each month for rent? I don't even make that much in a month! I work at starbucks for crying out loud!" I said trying to make her see my point.
"Yea but I will have a job so we would have your pay check plus mine. And I have my savings account we can always use if we need it."
"Bella we're not getting the apartment. End of discussion." I said slamming my hand on the desk. I should become a lawyer. 'You can't handle the truth!'
"Look why don't we look into one of those couples dorms." I said.
"I already did. You have to actually be married to even be considered." Bella said rubbing her temples.
"Well let's get married then." I said.
"Edward I actually want a 'real wedding'. Not to just elope in Vegas."
"Hey do you want to live together or not? If we get married then we can get in a couples dorm. If not then we'll be living separate. It's your choice." I said.
"Let's just think about it before we make any sudden decisions."
"The dead line is in 2 weeks!" I said making her realize that we needed to compromise.
"Okay then. Give me until Monday and I'll give you my decision." Bella said. We both were on edge. We needed a break.
"Are you hungry?" I asked.
"Yes."
"Then let's get out of here and go eat." I said getting up and walking toward the door.
"Wait let me put some jeans on." Bella said looking through the pile of clothes in the corner of her room. Bella use to be such a neat freak. Her room was always clean. Now there was stuff thrown everywhere.
She didn't find the jeans in that pile of clothes so she went to her closet, pulled a pair off of the hanger, and just started stripping in front of me. Not that I haven't seen anything before, but it's been a while.
"Okay. I'm ready. Wait let me brush my hair." Bella said walking into the bathroom.
"Well I'll be waiting in the car." I said walking out of her room. It was quiet downstairs. No one was home. That was strange.
I waited in the car of 20 minutes. Bella finally came out wearing the jeans, an oversized shirt that she tied around her waist with a rubber band, and her hair was nicely straitened.
When she got in I smelled the perfume she must have sprayed on herself, and I saw she had makeup on.
"You know we're just going to the diner, right?" I asked.
"Yea."
"Well it's not a fashion show. You could have stayed in your sweats."
"I kind of want to look nice Edward!" Bella said with an eye roll. She was still on edge from earlier.
We drove to the diner in silence, but it wasn't uncomfortable. We held hands the entire way. That's when I realized that I would have to buy a ring. I didn't even think about a ring!
"Sorry I don't have a ring yet." I said pulling into a parking spot. I kissed her knuckle.
"It's okay. I'll get one eventually." Bella said with a smile.
We got out of the car and walked hand in hand through the parking lot and into the diner. We got some looks from people, but I didn't care. And Bella didn't look bothered by it either.
We sat down in a table towards the back. I wanted to be away from people as much as possible. Sally, the owner of the diner, came to us right away.
"Well you guys are a little late." She said handing us our drinks. Sally was a people person. She never forgot a face that walked through those doors. Or what they ordered. Once she put our drinks down she took out her paper and pen and started taking down our order. Me and Bella always ordered a hamburger and fries, and we split a piece of chocolate cake after.
"What do you mean?" Bella asked taking a sip of her coke.
"Well the rest of the gang was just in here for lunch. I was wondering where you two were at?" Sally said pointing to both of us.
"We kind of slept in this morning." I said.
"Well all the others looked like they needed their sleep too. One minute there here sitting down, the next thing I knew everyone was yelling, then walking out without a goodbye." Sally said.
"Why were they yelling?" Bella asked.
"Beats me." Sally said walking away to give our order to the cook.
"I wonder why they didn't invite us." I ask talking Bella's hand in mine.
"Because Rose and Alice hate me." Bella said softly. She looked down at her coke and traced the rim of the cup with her finger.
"I'm sure they won't stay mad for long. Give them time to cool off." I said.
Since Bella told me that Alice and Rose where mad at her for getting back together with me I felt sick to my stomach. I hated that I was the cause of their broken friendship. But all three of them use to fight all the time, and in a week's time they were best friends again. I'm sure that's the case here.
"Yea you're probably right." Bella said.
"I'm always right." I said trying to lighten the mood. It worked. Bella was back to smiling and laughing in no time.
We ate our burgers and our chocolate cake fast. We were both hungry. I have to make sure I learn a thing or two about cooking. I don't want my wife to starve, and I can't feed her fast food for the rest of our life.
"I'm going to the bathroom. You can go start the car." I said handing her the keys.
"Okay."
In the bathroom I was thinking of how my life was about to change. I finally had the love of my life back! There was nothing that could stop us from being together now. It might not seem like it now, but everything is going to work out for us.
I made my way out the bathroom, and gave Sally money to pay for the food.
"You take care now, and don't be a stranger. Come back soon." Sally said to me.
"I will."
I walked out the door and was walking to the car when I saw Bella standing there with some guy. I instantly got jealous. I walked on over and saw that Bella's face was red and it looked like she was about to punch the guy. Who is this guy, and what did he do to Bella? My instincts kicked in and I walked to Bella making sure she was okay.
"What wrong baby?" I asked.
"I AM GOING TO KILL THEM!" Bella screamed.
She then proceeded to tell me what that guy, who I found out was Rob. The new waiter that Rose likes, told her. I was just as pissed as her after everything was said and done.
"IM GOING TO KILL THEM!" I screamed hitting the top of my car with my fist. Yea I probably left a dent.
AN: So that's chapter 15. Tell me what you guys are thinking. I'm dying to know.
A lot of you wanted an Edward's POV so here it is, but I can see how you might be disappointed because you wanted his insight on the whole Tanya thing. But don't worry that will be coming up. I just thought I would throw this in the story.
The plot thickens!
So in last author's note I said that I had another story idea, but like I said I will finish BTR before I put something new out here. But I'm really excited about it.
I recently read a story by knicnort3, and if you haven't read at least one of her stories then you need too. They are all amazing! I kind of got my inspiration from her for my new story, but I am not stealing her work. Mine is completely my own.
Anyway she has a story called Unintended, and it just blew my mind. I highly recommend you read it. It has a little bit of everything in it: Edward is a bad boy (who turns rock star later on), Bella is the preacher's daughter, and Edward makes a bet to take her virginity and gets her pregnant. Such an awesome story!
So I'm not sure when the next update will be, but hopefully sometime next week.
~Until Next Time~
