The Cullen Car Curse – Chapter Seven

I always relished the feel of Edward's skin on my own, but right now it was starting to annoy me. He knew I hated surprises, and here he was with his hands over my eyes. He had been covering them for 15 minutes now! We had flown back to England, just the two of us, to see the car he had picked. We had landed at an air base very much like the first one at the Lotus facility. As soon as I had tried to exit the plane I had found Edwards hands over my eyes. I had heard the car pull up, so I didn't know what the holdup was.

All of a sudden, I heard another vehicle drive up and Edward's hands dropped from my eyes. I was instantly blinded, but just for a moment. In front of me I saw two amazing cars. Each was a slightly different shade of midnight blue, one of Edward's favorite colors on me. I couldn't believe he had picked two cars out. I glanced up at him. He shrugged his shoulders and smiled his beloved crooked grin.

"I couldn't decide." He kissed the top of my head. "Do you want to go see?"

I grabbed his hand and went to look at the first car. It was sleek and Italian, I could tell just by looking at it.

"See, you have learned about cars," Edward murmured in my ear. "It's a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1." I ran my hands over the shiny hood, admiring the sleek lines. He opened the door for me and I slid in behind the wheel. The interior was chocolate brown, deep and warm. Edward opened the passenger door.

"You always did say brown was warm." The crooked smile appeared again as we took off around the track. The powerful engine roared as I pushed the speed to nearly 300 miles per hour. It could have taken more, but I didn't think Edward could as I slowed and came to a stop next to the other car.

Edward opened my door for me and led me to the other coupé, gleaming even in the foggy English afternoon.

"An Aston Martin DB9." Edward whispered in my ear. I pulled open the door and saw amazing tawny gold leather interior, with just a few hints of emerald green. The inserts of the seats were green, as was the upper part of the doors and dashboard. It was incredible.

"Does it go as fast as the Vanquish?" I asked with a grin.

"I believe it does," answered Edward.

"Well, we have to see to make sure." I got behind the wheel and before Edward had even closed his door, I zoomed off.

I loved seeing Bella like this. She was so free. She did have the Cullen Curse. Speed was in her veins now. She was so graceful. For a moment, I was wistful for my sweet human Bella, the one who blushed and tripped over her own two feet. But then my wife turned while driving over 200 MPH and kissed me. Nothing like that could have happened while Bella was human. I kissed her back, hard and sweet. The velocity at which we were moving began to slow and Bella stopped the car. She got out and held me tight, which made me kiss her again. She laid her head on my shoulder and sighed.

"It's a big decision, but don't worry, no one is going to be upset with you. We all just want you to have what you like best." I assured her.

"But I loved them all. Even Em's huge SUV and Jasper's General," she sighed.

"You love us, Bella, not the cars, and you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings." I looked deep into her eyes. "We will all love you forever, no matter what silly car you pick. Especially me."

I knew Edward was right. My family just wanted me to be happy. I had time to decide which car was right for me. I knew I would absolutely need something for daily use; all these cars were too spectacular and noticeable. But, holy crow, they were fast! And I really loved going fast…
