Chapter 4- Conversations
It was getting late and it was time for us to head home. Renee went back to the hotel. We kissed and hugged goodbye, even though I would be seeing her soon. Edward drove me home. Charlie's car was in the driveway in his usual spot.
"I'll see you upstairs, love." Edward said as sweet as ever.
"O.K. I love you" I whispered. Then I kissed him goodbye. I walked up the steps to the front door. I walked in and of course Charlie was watching some sports game.
"Hey, Dad"
"Hey, Bells. You like your surprise?" He said with a silent laugh.
"Yeah, I'm so glad Mom can be here."
"She is O.K with the marriage thing, too. I think she just needs to time get used to the idea."
"I think you're right, Bells. You know your mother."
We both just laughed quietly to ourselves.
"How was fishing with Phil?"
"Oh, Phil's a good guy. It was fun."
"Well, its been a long day. I think I'm going to go to bed. 'Night Dad."
"Sweet Dreams, Bella."
Then I was running up the stairs. I couldn't wait to see Edward's beautiful face. Finally, I was in my room. There he was sitting in that same old rocking chair, that I see him in every morning.
"Hi" He said in a sweet, soft tone.
"Hello" I said as sweet as I could. I went and sat down on my bed. He glided toward me. Then sat right next to me. Edward pulled me onto his lap and just held me. A few moments passed.
"So, are you nervous?" he asked me.
"About what, the wedding, the wedding night, or the me turning into a vampire thing?"
"Um, all of them."
"Yeah, I'm kind of nervous. What about you?"
"I'm nervous too."
"It's a big change."
"I know, love, I know but we have each other and we will forever." He pulled me closer and then kissed me, so romantically.
"I love you Isabella Marie Swan, with all my heart."
"Edward Masen Cullen, I love you and I will for the rest of my life, which will soon be for eternity. " I said drifting into unconsciousness.
I awoke with a startle. The sound of a pan dropping on the floor. I looked at
Edward not knowing what was going on. Edward was smiling and laughing quietly to himself.
"Stay right there." I order him, while walking to the door. I went downstairs and I saw Charlie picking up a sauce pan off the floor.
"Oh, I'm sorry did I wake you?" Charlie said.
"Dad, what are you doing?" I asked confused.
"Well Bells, since you're going to get married and move out I should probably start cooking for myself again."
I couldn't think of anything to say.
"Um.. O.K." I said
"I'm going to go back upstairs and get ready maybe check my e-mail. See you later."
"Oh, O.K. Bells." Charlie said while trying to cook breakfast.
I kept walking upstairs, I was surprised. Was Charlie already used to the idea of my getting married and moving out?
Maybe, Charlie did want me to have a life of my own.
"Bella, is everything O.K?" Edward asked, studying me face closely.
"Yeah, I'm just shocked that's all." I said sounding reassuring. I went and took my shower. I came back and Edward was sitting in his rocking chair. He was smiling as if he had come upon some new information that I didn't know. I couldn't help but smile.
"What?" I said, still with a smile on my face, I walked over and sat on his lap.
"Guess what tomorrow is?" My mind went blank.
"What?" I asked still smiling.
"Its our wedding day!" He said with the biggest smile on his face that I have ever seen. I wanted to get married now. I was excited. I couldn't wait.
"Edward."
"Yes, Bella?"
"I love you."
"Bella, love. I love you too. Tomorrow will be the best day of my life." He said kissing my hair.
Edward said life, instead of existence.
