As Alice pulled me into the large room, there was a table in the centre of the room with the largest cake I had ever seen. My eyes were as wide as the cakes first layer. Though it was a lovely cake, I didn't know where we were going to put it all. It had seven layers and it was decorated in all this fancy lace and stuff. Alice just smiled at me and then pulled me faster. Edward soon followed me in and we stood side by side beside the large cake. Edward smiled.
"Do you like it? I picked it out myself." Edward said. I turned to him, my mouth in awe.
"Wow, that is a lot of cake. I like it." I said back. Edward laughed, though I don't know what the two of us are going to do with so much cake. The other guessed filed into the room and around the cake. We were being watched. Then a chef who Alice called Pierce, stood with a long knife. He handed it to me. I held on tightly and Edward put his hand onto mine. There was a great deal of silence and then the blade touched the cake, and slowly slid down. Then the second cut came and the third. Edward took the knife from me and put it down, we each took a piece of the cake with our hands. We were looking at each other. Edward put his cake up high,
"Today, I got married to the most beautiful woman in the entire world. I love you Bella." An awe came from the crowd.
"Today, I got married to the most wonderful man, I will cherish our love, forever," I made sure forever was accented well, I looked up into Edwards face. He smiled and laughed. Then he kissed me on the forehead. He leaned the cake in his hand toward my mouth. I took a bite. I knew he didn't have to eat the cake, so I did the nest best thing
"Do you want some cake?" I asked. Seriously, I didn't know if dinner was enough. He grinned.
"Of course, why wouldn't I?" He smirked. I put the cake up to his mouth and he took an large bite out of the cake. "Yum, this is great cake," he lied. We both laughed. So did Emmett. I could hear Jasper's bass laugh from behind the crowd. It was really nice. Once again. Myself and Edward walked to the main table. We sat with the rest of the cake on nice china plates. For once, I wasn't with the Vampire Edward, who had to go hunting, or had to protect me from Victoria, or wanted to keep me human, I was with the Edward that never got a wedding until today. The Edward that was still just seventeen, the Edward that wanted me to have the human experiences that he never had, yet he was experiencing now. I loved it.
After our cake was done. Alice made me stand in front of a crowd of all these girls that weren't married. She wanted me to throw the bouquet. I blushed. I stood in front of about twenty woman, all waiting eagerly. I threw the bouquet backwards. A loud AAAAAAAAAH could be heard. I turned around to see who caught it. I almost lost it. My own mother had caught it. I laughed and went to hug her. We laughed so hard that I started to cry.
After our little fit, my mum, Alice and I made our way to the washroom. Which looked like it cost more then my house in Forks. All laughing, and having fun. Then came the part I wished didn't come. It stated something like:
"Bella, hun , I think your wedding is spectacular. Alice you did the most fantastic job I've ever seen, I know how my wedding views are so different from yours, but I think you really are in love with him.""Thank you Miss. Swan." Alice said politely. I laughed.
"Now, Bella, are you going to be safe tonight?" Renee asked all serious.
"Yeah, mum the limo will take us to the hotel, it's only a few blocks away, I'm not sure which hotel it is. Alice? You were the one who accommodated it. Which hotel-." I said, but Renee interrupted.
"No Bella, that's not what I mean. Like, are you going to be safe tonight. You know?" Then it dawned on me what she meant.
"Oh." I said, I must have looked like a beacon I was blushing so much. And I know if Alice could blush she would have. Even Alice couldn't help me out here. She was looking at the ground.
"Um, mum, we haven't really talked about that at all. I'm being honest. I don't know." I looked at the floor.
"Maybe I should talk to Edward about this then." I looked up.
"NO!" Alice and I said at the same time. "I mean, I can do it." I was so red it was unbelievable. I had talks with my mum before, but I think because Alice was here…
"No, that's alright. I'll talk, save you the embarrassment." Renee said. She walked out the woman's washroom door. 'Edward' I heard her say.
"Alice," I said. "Do you think that Edward would, you know." Alice shook her head, not until you are stone. She said, I knew what she meant.
"Why didn't you see anything?" I asked.
"Because she thought you would answer. I don't know if Edward heard her or not, but, I'm not sure what he will tell her." She shook her head
"stupid human experiences." We both laughed. We both stepped out of the washroom and into the hall. I could see Edward talking to Renee. He was looking at the floor. She was trying to look at him in the eye. He looked up when Alice tapped him on the shoulder. Alice said something and they both walked over to me.
"I want to go," I lied. "I'm tired." Edward smirked.
"I know, I am a little tired myself." he lied back. Charlie walked over to Renee and mouthed something. She nodded, then pointed over to Carlisle and Esme. They walked over. We watched. Esme smiled and Carlisle said something, then they all laughed, and looked over at the three of us standing there. It was awkward. As the party approached eleven pm. Everyone started to leave. I said goodbye to everyone and We left ourselves. Emmett lifted me up to hug me. And Jasper gave me a hug too. Only his was more like a normal person hug. Unlike Emmett who lifted me a foot into the air. Rosalie gave me a kiss on the cheek and Alice just wouldn't let go of me. My parents each gave me a what seemed to be an hour long hug. Then Carlisle and Esme gave me a hug and a kiss. Then we were off
We arrived at the hotel about eleven-fifteen. As we got out and Edward checked into the Cullen suite. I was figuring out my name. Isabella Marie Cullen, Bella Marie Cullen, Mrs. Bella Cullen. It all sounded wonderful. I liked it. Edward came back and we took the elevator to the twenty-fourth floor. We walked to the end of the long hallway. Edward pulled out a small key and unlocked the door. Before he opened it. He picked me up, so I was horizontal to his body. But he kept me close.
Edward kicked open the door and walked in. Once inside I looked around, it was the most beautiful room I'd ever seen. There was a giant bed, king sized no doubt. A kitchen, a bathroom at the back, and a nice sitting area. Edward walked over to the bed, myself still horizontal to his chest. He lie me down softly on the bed and told me to wait there, while he walked into the bathroom.
I looked around the giant room, a package sitting on a table, caught my eye. It was labelled Bella. I was curious to see what was inside I scooted myself over to the table and peered into the bag. There to my surprise was this lacy underwear with a tag that said Victoria Secret. I put it back into the bag and pulled out a note, To Bella, Love Alice. I laughed to myself, and blushed a little. It was embarrassing that Alice would buy me something like this, but I guess it would be better Alice, then Edward. Edward called from the bathroom.
"Bella, will you please come here? I have a surprise for you." He laughed with triumph. I placed the note on the bag and walked to the bathroom. I peered into the room, the spa bath had been filled and rose petals were put into the tub. Edward looked up from the vanity. "Get in," he mused. "The water is great!"
Edward walked to the door, and left the room, a large grin on his face. I slipped out of my clothes, laying the dress across the vanity stool. Then I got into the tub.
"I see you found Alice's gift," He laughed from the bedroom. Edward came in. He sat at the tubs edge, and watched me as I sat there. "Are you comfortable?" he asked.
"I love it, thank you." I replied. We sat there in the silence, sometimes the water would ripple but I just enjoyed the moment
"You know, Bella. Were married now." Edward said for the billionth time today. He was so exited. "I know, Edward. I was there." He loosened his tie. It was now just hanging around his neck.
"I love your ring," he said he smiled. "It's very beautiful." He pulled his tie off and put it on the side of the tub. I watched it sitting there. Then Edward started to unbutton his shirt.
"I miss Jacob," I said solemnly. He stopped undoing his buttons. He looked at me.
"At least we have the advantage in water." He put his have and swished it around a little. Although I found it funny, I didn't laugh.
"Sorry," he apologized. His shirt was undone, and he shrugged out of it. Then he started on his pants. I started blushing again. It was all to embarrassing. He saw me and froze. "I didn't know if you wanted me to join you." he said. I nodded.
"I just still find it a bit embarrassing, if you know what I mean." I said. He stood up and walked to the door.
"I'll be out here," he said. I nodded once and he closed the door behind him, but in a few seconds he was back "Here put this on," he handed me the bag from Alice. Then he left again. I got out of the tub and dried off. Then I got into the lacy underwear and looked into the large mirror in the bathroom. I saw him laying on the bed, in his boxers. Oh. I crawled over to him on the bed. Then sat cross-legged on the bed. He looked at me and smiled
"You look sexy," He said, accenting sexy. He grinned.
"Can I ask you something?" I asked.
"Of course," he said. I took a deep breath and closes my eyes.
"When can I have my change?" I asked quickly. I closed my eyes and waited for a response. It took a minute.
"Bella…" Edward said, seeming out of breath. "We have to enjoy the night. We will talk about it with Carlisle later. Okay?"
"Yes," I said kind of disappointed. But I knew his reason. He wouldn't want to carry a newborn of out a hotel… if you know what I mean. I laughed at the thought of him doing that.
"Hmm?" He was asking what was so funny.
"Nothing." I replied, yet still I found it funny.
"How about you open a few presents?" he asked.
"Okay," I said, "Then could we-" He cut me off.
"Here is the one from Charlie." He had it in his hands before I could see him get it. I gently took it and read the note. To Bella and Edward. Love Charlie. I peeled off the side of wrapping. There was a picture of a blender.
"Charlie," I muttered, rolling my eyes. Edward laughed.
"I've always wanted a blender," he mused. Edward passed me another present. A small envelope marked Carlisle and Esme.
"Do you want to open it?" I asked Edward. He smiled.
"I know what it is. You can open it." I put my finger under the fold and pushed. There were a few pieces of paper. I pulled out the biggest piece. It was a cheque. I did a double take at the numbers. I shuttered.
"Eight-million dollars," I said slowly. "How?" I asked. Looking him in the eye. He smiled again.
"I made them stop there. Esme wanted to give you more but I told her you wouldn't want that."He laughed at that.
"I've never seen this much money in my life." I said wearily.
"Now it's all yours." he said. I looked into the envelope again. I was still in shock with the cheque. I didn't know what to expect next. I pulled out five pieces of paper. Tickets. Plane tickets. Chicago, Illinois.
"What's in Chicago?" I asked, surprised. I thought at least it would be to Alaska, or the Yukon.
"A house." Edward answered smoothly. The look on my face made him laugh.
"I don't want to open any more gifts, thank you." I said politely. I placed the presents on the floor beside the bed, and lied down, I closed my eyes for a minute, taking in what Carlisle and Esme had given us. That was a lot of money. I thought. I opened my eyes to see that Edward was on top of me. I was still a bit embarrassed seeing that I wasn't in that much clothing. I reached up and put both my hands on his upper arms, and traced his mussels. I pulled myself up and started kissing his neck and collarbone.
Edward started humming a familiar tune. Almost a lullaby, it was so soft. Bella, you better not fall asleep.
A/N: More will be coming soon.
