My Fairytale Ending

Chapter 18

Edward and I walked into the Cullen's mansion.

"Edward, what do you think about the cruise Jacob invited us on?" I asked, unsure. Edward had been very quiet on the way back, answering questions directed only at him. He had been like this ever since we got the invitation from Jacob.

"No. We are not going." He said this all calmly.

I was surprised. Edward was usually open to anything I wanted to do, though I didn't try to work that to my advantage, most of the time at least. "Why not?"

"Because I said so."

Now I was stumped. This was so unlike him I was stunned into silence.

Edward gave me a quick nod to me before heading out of the entryway and up to his bedroom.

I shook my head in wonder, what is going on with Edward? I sat down on one of the couches and looked at the invitation again. After reading through it another time I concluded this- nothing was wrong with this invitation, it was perfectly safe.

I put the letter down and started walking defiantly to Edward's room wanting to understand exactly how much fun this could be.

Edward had soothing music on and he was lying in the middle of his gigantic bed, deathly still. I walked over to him quietly and got on his bed. Seeing no sign of reaction, I went over to his side and lay by him.

All of the sudden his hands cane around my waist and pulled me to him. He shifted sideways and opened his eyes, staring straight at me. "Bella."

Deciding I should get right to the point I said, "Why can't we go on the cruise?"

He shook his head slowly, his eyes never leaving my face. "Bella, I just got you. I am not going to lose you. I know Jacob; I've known him since we were both just children. He doesn't do things without a reason."

I myself didn't understand why I wanted to go so bad. Maybe the thrill of being in tropical waters with just few other couples I mostly already knew, or just having more quality time with Edward. The thing that I thought was the best deal was more time with Edward.

He was always busy, going off and doing premieres for his latest movies, promoting his latest book, modeling for the newest fashions, recording a new hit song.

We just never had lots of time to ourselves, and this was the perfect chance.

"Really, Edward, I don't think Jacob will do anything. Maybe he just wants to have a good time; we all know how much everyone needs this."

Edward looked thoughtful at my words. "I don't know…"

"I can finally get to spend some time with you." I said hastily.

At these words he looked up quickly. "What do you mean?"

I looked down, a bit embarrassed. "Well, you know exactly what I mean. You're always so busy, and we never have time alone. Wouldn't it be nice to just be together?" I asked, trying to explain myself.

"I really try to make time for you Bella."

"I know, I know! I'm just saying…"

"I guess we could go on the cruise. It would be good for us to have more time together." Edward replied.

"Thanks. You don't know how much I'm looking forward to this." A smile spread over my face, I was going on a cruise!

(Jacob P.O.V.)

I just calls from the Cullen's, including Bella, saying that they would all attend the cruise.

The plan was in action.

I didn't actually expect Edward to give in so quickly, I guess Bella has really softened him.

All the better, though, because when Bella realizes she likes me, Edward will be all the more heartbroken.

Wonderful.

(Edward's P.O.V.)

After we made the phone call to Jacob I still felt unsure. I felt like there was something I was missing. I had this horrible feeling at the pit of me stomach, and it wasn't about to go away. But then I saw Bella.

She gave me a bright smile and came and hugged me. "Oh Edward, this is going to be fun. Out in the sun by the water, all day long…" She trailed off excited only by the thought. And so was the rest of the family. I was the only one who didn't seem completely sure about his trip coming up. And if I had known what was going to happen in these next few months here is what I would have done. Call Jacob back and try to kill him. Make Bella permanently glued to my waist so she could never be taken away. And tell my family what three things are most important to put on my gravestone.

I am so sorry that this update is late. To make it up to you guys here is what I'm going to do- if I get over 25 updates I'm going to post on Tuesday instead of Wednesday, two days earlier since I was one day late.
