**I just want to apologize to all of you. I went back over and read Chapter 11 after I posted it and I was truly disappointed in myself. There were so many errors, as far as grammar and missing words. I try to be very thorough with my chapters, since I don't have a BETA to go over it for me. I hope this chapter is much better for you to read. I'm my hardest critic so please forgive me.
On a happier note…you guys rock! I was so overwhelmed with the response from the last chapter (errors and all) that I walked around smiling for 2 days. My husband seriously thought I had lost all my marbles…no joke. Once he read the reviews I received, he was very happy for me.
I'm going to do something a little bit different this time around. Instead of posting the reviews I received, like in previous chapters, I'm going to just give shoutouts and maybe do a few dedications. I figure, you all can just go to my reviews and read what others are saying if you truly wanted to. This chapter was really fun to write and I had so much I wanted to put in it, but I decided to just focus on the occasion. I hope you like it.
**I really need some help with a song choice for a future chapter. I need a song that's seductive and sexy. Nothing too slow, but something with a nice beat is what I'm looking for. I have a few ideas in mind, but I would really like to get other suggestions just in case someone suggest a song that I didn't think of and fits better than the ones I've thought up. So if you could suggest a song or two in your review that would be awesome.
This chapter is dedicated to "heroicfailures", "mspacman1", "imalive2012", "dazzled eyes22", "mfrancesj", "xcherry dollx", & "". You guys are amazing!
Next chapter will be more dedications, so don't feel like I'm leaving anyone out. All of you guys are awesome!
I was having the most beautiful dream ever. Edward and I were lying in my bed and he was doing fabulous things to my body with his amazing tongue. It felt so good, that I actually felt like I was going to cum. Wow this is one powerful dream. I began to pant and moan. My body begin squirming and thrashing about the bed.
The feeling overtook my body, I had no control over it. I didn't want to stop it…God it felt so wonderful!
"Mmmm, Ooooooh, Aaaaah! Fuck, I'm about to cum."
I felt my juices flow from my body and into Edward's waiting my mouth. This was the most realistic dream I've ever had in all my existence.
After that dream, I was ready to wake up. When I opened my eyes I knew that my dream was no dream at all, but the real thing. Edward had his head between my legs and was lapping up all the juices my body released.
He must have felt me rise up, because he looked up into my eyes and gave me the most dazzling smile to date.
"Happy Birthday love," he said in greeting.
"What a Happy Birthday it is. That was more than amazing Edward. Can we finish what you started," I asked eagerly.
"I wouldn't have it any other way my love."
An hour later we had both showered and while I was finishing up my make-up, Edward stepped out to make a phone call. He said it was all part of my birthday agenda. I must admit, I'm looking forward to whatever it is he has planned for me. I've never been excited about a surprise, but Edward brings out a different side of me.
We were suppose to have breakfast with the crew this morning, but Emmett called and asked if we could just meet up for brunch. Evidently him and Rose had a rough night last night and they wanted to sleep in a bit longer. Which also gave Edward and I a chance to make love again in the shower. I swear on everything I hold dear, that I will never grow tired of having him inside of me. He's wickedly talented with that tongue and dick of his.
I was a lucky, lucky girl. After I was done with my make-up I went back into the room to get dressed. I chose an off white sweater dress with black leggings and black tall boots to wear. Right when I was done putting on my clothes, my cellphone rung. I recognized the ringtone as my mother's, I hadn't spoken to her since Thursday and I knew she would call me today.
"Hi mom," I said into the phone.
"Hi sweetheart. Happy Birthday," she said into the phone.
"Thanks mom. How are you?"
"I'm okay honey, but I didn't call to talk about me. I just wanted to wish my best girl a happy birthday. PaPa wants to talk to you when I'm done okay?"
"Yeah okay, sure."
"So what does Edward have planned for you today, or has he not told you?"
"He hasn't told me, but I'm sure whatever it is will be expensive, but sweet. He's truly amazing mom."
"Well as long as he's treating you right and you're happy, that's all that matters to me."
"He is mom, don't worry. When are you coming home mom, I miss you."
"As a matter of fact, I'll be home on Friday. PaPa will be moving into his apartment on Monday and I'm going to help him get settled in and then I'll be flying out Friday morning. So don't make any plans for next Friday, we're going to go out as a family. It's going to be just the four of us. I have nothing against Edward or Victoria, but your father and I want to spend some time with just you and your brother."
"That sounds nice mom. James and I will love to spend a Friday night with our "hip" parents…not! Just kidding, I'm sure we'll have a good time as a family."
"Well okay baby, tell Edward hello for me and have a good time. I'm going to put your PaPa on the phone now and I'll talk to you tomorrow evening once you're home. Make sure you call me before you go to bed tomorrow night. Love you Bella."
"Love you too mom."
PaPa didn't have much to say, just basically wishing me a happy birthday and telling me that my gift should be waiting for me at home when I return on tomorrow. I thanked him and told him that I loved him. I promised to call him later in the week to see how he was liking his new digs and then we disconnected.
When I looked at my phone I noticed the little envelope up at the top, letting me know I had a text message. I completely forgot that I heard it beep last night. I opened it up and immediately felt torn.
Although you're no longer mine darlin, I couldn't let this moment
go by without wishing you a Happy Birthday.
It's not easy to just walk away from 2 ½ years without still having
feelings lingering. I still love you Bella and it
will take time for that to go away.
I hope Edward is making you happy and you have a wonderful day.
I can't tell you how sorry I am about how things turned out.
I just hope that one day you will forgive me and will be
my friend again. You will always hold a special
place in my heart.
All my love…Jazz
I was torn because I would normally be spending this day with Jasper. Since him and Rose moved to Forks and we became friends, we've always celebrated one another birthdays together. It does feel strange not having him here, but that's not possible under the present circumstances. I'm touched that he wrote me and wished me a happy birthday, but I know in my heart that Edward is the one for me. What Jazz and I had was special, but was also my past. My future lies with Edward and that's what I'm looking forward to.
I decided to reply back to Jazz just to acknowledge the fact that I received his message and that I'm not ignoring him. We do need to move past this and see if it's possible for us to ever be friends again.
Thanks Jasper, that was thoughtful of you. I assure you that
Edward is making me happy and that
I am going to have a wonderful day.
I too hope that we can be friends again one day,
until then please take care of yourself.
~Bella
I put my phone away and finished getting ready. Once I was done I went and watched some TV until Edward gets back.
He came back 15 minutes later and had some Starbucks in hand. He got me my favorite Caramel Apple Spice and a slice of Banana Nut Loaf.
For him, he got a Caramel Frappucino and a blueberry muffin. We sat and ate at the table. I told him about my phone call with my mom and the text that Jasper sent me. He seemed a little upset about the text, but didn't dwell on it.
He told me that we were having brunch in one of the conference rooms in the hotel. He reserved it for all of us and we would be meeting up at noon.
While we sat and waited for the time to come, he gave me a quick rundown of our time frame for the day. Of course he didn't actually tell me where we would be going, but I didn't hassle him about it.
After brunch with our friends, they were going to be heading back to Forks. We would have a few hours to ourselves and then we had somewhere to be at 4, which would require me to wear the evening dress I purchased on my shopping trip.
The last event on our agenda would take place right after and I wouldn't need to change at all. So to say that my curiosity was peaked would be an understatement. I wouldn't ruin this for Edward by whining and being difficult. I would give him this opportunity to do something nice for me.
At a quarter to 12 Edward received a text and he said that the others were already down in the conference room waiting for us. So we made our way down to the first floor and Edward led me over towards the back of the hotel. We stopped in front of a closed door that had "Cullen/Swan Brunch" on a board outside the door.
Edward slowly opened up the door and motioned for me to go ahead of him. I pushed the door all the way open and our friends yelled, "SURPRISE".
I took in the contents of the room and I almost cried. The room was completely decorated in Tiffany's blue with a small cake in the shape of a Tiffany's gift box sitting in the middle of the table. There was a banner hanging over the wall facing us that said, "Bella's Breakfast Tiffany's Birthday Brunch."
I'm not sure how they did it all, but I was deeply touched. One by one, my friends came up to me and wished me a Happy Birthday. Then Edward came up to me and kissed me on the lips.
He then said to me, "are you happy love? You're not upset with me for giving you this surprise brunch with our friends are you?"
"No Edward. This is really beautiful. I…I uh. Thank you," I said with a few tears running down my face.
Edward gently wiped them away and then kissed me on both sides of my face and then placed one soft kiss on my lips before leading me over to the table. I didn't even realize that there were silver trays off to the side with food inside of them. On a small table up against the wall, there was Tiffany's gift bags waiting there.
"What are those for," I asked to the group at large.
"Those are for you, silly Bella," Ang said.
"They're your gifts Bells. You didn't think we wouldn't buy you something on your special day did you," Rose said.
"You guys didn't have to buy me anything. I'm touched that you came all the way out here to spend the day with me. That's gift enough in my opinion."
"While that's very selfless of you Bells, please accept the gifts from us. It would mean a lot to all of us," Ben stated.
"If you don't want them, I can sale them off at school. I'm sure that the small town girls in Forks would love to get their hands on some Tiffany's originals," Emmett said right before Rose popped him upside his head.
"I wasn't going to keep the money for myself Rosie. I would've gave it to Bella, gosh."
"Anyway, Bella you're keeping the gifts and that's final. You will not complain or refuse our gifts that we bought for you. I love you, but you can be the most stubborn girl I know. Suck it up birthday girl," she said with sternness, but there was a hint of a smile in the mix as well.
"Fine, I'll accept the gifts. You guys are ridiculous, but I love you. Thank you!"
"Now that that's all out of the way, how about we eat," Edward suggested.
Everyone nodded their heads and then I was told to go first and get what I want, before Emmett came and ate up all the food.
There was a vast array of food layed out. Ranging from Scrambled Eggs, Pancakes, Sausage, Steaks, Hashbrowns, Bagels, Toast, Coffee, and Orange Juice.
I opted for a few sausages with some Scrambled Eggs and a piece of toast. After the workout Edward gave me last night and then this morning, I needed some sustenance.
We ate and talked and laughed and joked. Once everyone was done with their food, I cut a small piece of the cake for everyone to have. The rest I asked Rose to take home for me. Edward put it back inside of the box and taped it up for Rose.
After we were done, we headed out to the lobby. Edward assured me that the housekeeping staff would take care of the room. He had paid extra for them to do so.
We walked out to the parking lot to see our friends off. I hated to see them go, but I was also looking forward to spending some alone time with my man. Maybe we could even fit in a quickie before we needed to get ready to go.
After giving them all hugs and thanking them again for coming out to celebrate with me, they piled into Edward's Volvo and Emmett drove off.
I told Rose to call or text me to let me know they made it back safely. She told me that she would and that she wanted details on my night when I get back. I told her we'd get together after school on Monday and talk.
Edward and I went back up to our room and layed across the bed. We still had 2 ½ hours before it was 4. Although we would be leaving the hotel at 3:30 to make it to our destination, we still had plenty of time to chill and relax.
"So love, are you enjoying your day so far?"
"Yes I am, thanks to you. I really am happy for all the things you've done and have planned still. No one has ever done anything like this for me Edward. You really are one of a kind."
"I wouldn't say all of that love. I just wanted to do something special for you and show you how much you mean to me and how much I love you. I'm not trying to top anybody or show off. This is just things that I want to do for you and only you."
"That was so sweet of you to say. Thank you for loving me. You have been my rock through all of this heartache and I'm forever in your debt for that."
"No you're not. You don't owe me anything. I wanted to be there for you Bella, that's the difference."
"Either way, I'm glad you were."
I leaned over and kissed him on the mouth, quickly deepening it. My tongue sought out his and wrapped around it. He held me close to him and rolled us over, placing him on top of me.
Within a matter of minutes all our clothing was removed and Edward was entering me. We both yelled out…
"Fuck!"
This wasn't a nice and slow moment, we both wanted a release and we didn't want to take it slow and steady.
Edward wrapped my legs around his waist and stood up, never leaving the warmth of my core. He walked over to the wall and put me up against it.
"Hold on spider monkey, this is going to be pretty intense," he told me in his sex voice.
Shit I immediately came!
I pressed the heels of my feet into his ass, forcing him to move and give me some friction. He pulled all the way out, leaving just the tip of him inside of me and then he plowed all the way back in. He pounded me so hard that I was sure my back was going to be sore for weeks to come.
He then reached down and spread my legs further, opening me up more to his dick and if I thought it couldn't get any better…it just did!
He went so deep inside of me, that I was already building up for another orgasm.
"Oh. My. God!!! I'm going to cum Edward. Cum with me baby."
"Mmmm, fuck Bella. You're so fucking tight and I love it. I'm going to cum love…oh shit!"
"Oh Edward, Oh Edward, you feel so good baby."
" Mmmm Bella, yes bounce on it just like that. Oh shit Bella, I'm cumming."
"Oh yes…me too baby!"
Edward had me pinned up against the wall, leaning into me breathing roughly and dripping with sweat.
I removed my legs from around his waist and gently pushed him away from me so that I could make it into the bathroom.
He gave me a smile and asked if I was alright. I told him never better and then went into the bathroom to start the shower.
We took a nice hot shower together, washing each other's body and then exiting the shower to get ready for the next part of our day.
While I blow-dried and curled my hair, Edward went into the room and got dressed. My hair didn't take me as long as I thought it would to do. I put on my make-up and then I too got dressed.
I was wearing a royal blue halter dress with silver beads on the front of the dress. I paired it with some silver pumps, clutch, jewelry and shawl. Edward thought I looked beautiful, at least that's what he said.
He was wearing all black. A nice black double breasted suit with satin lapels, a black wing tipped shirt, black dress shoes and a silver watch. He looked damn good! (Their outfits are on my profile)
At 3:15 we made our way down to the parking lot and Edward helped me into his car and then we were off to my next surprise.
Ten minutes later we were pulling up to "The Seattle Symphony Orchestra", where the focus tonight would be "Beethoven's Ninth". I was ecstatic. I loved the symphony and I had only mentioned it to Edward once. For the millionth time, I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes.
When I turned to look at Edward he had so much love in his eyes. At that moment I knew without a doubt that he was going to be my future husband.
We pulled up to the valet driver and he opened the door for Edward and then Edward walked over and helped me out of the car.
Once inside the theater, an usher showed us to our box. Yes, Edward got us box seats. I've only been in a box once before and it's the best way to see a show in my opinion.
When we were settled in our seats, we both perused the program. I told Edward at least a dozen times how excited I was to be here and I thanked him just as many times.
Just as the lights faded out and the stage came alive with the sounds of different instruments, I noticed that we had the box to ourselves. It made me wonder if Edward had bought out all the seats so that we wouldn't have to share with anyone. From the looks of the auditorium, it was a packed house.
I just looked over at him and smiled. He was too busy looking at the stage to notice me watching him, but I reached over and took his hand in mine. He in turn looked me in the eyes and I mouthed..."thank you."
At the end of the show everyone stood on their feet and gave the symphony a standing ovation. The music was played beautifully and I truly enjoyed the show.
Once we were outside Edward handed his ticket over to the valet so he could go and get the car. He was only gone for a few minutes before he was pulling up along the curb. Edward helped me into the car and then he paid the valet and got in the driver's seat.
"Are you ready for the last thing on the agenda love?"
"Yes, I'm ready to see what else you've planned. Today has been the most wonderful day of my life. Thank you so much for all you've done."
"You're more than welcome, it was my pleasure."
We drove to the next location, while listening to Clair de Lune. Which is one of Edward and my favorites.
It took us a little longer to get to the next place, but just when I was about to ask Edward how much longer…he pulled up to an Italian restaurant.
It looked very expensive, but I promised him that I wouldn't be difficult. The restaurant was called "La Dolce Vita Ristorante Italiano."
It was beautiful on the inside, very cozy and dim. The hostess led us to a table off to the back, away from everyone else.
"Your waiter will be with you shortly," she said before walking away.
I turned to Edward and smiled. He was just looking at me with that crooked smile of his plastered on his face.
Once again, he's dazzling me. Which means that he either doesn't know when he's doing it or he just loves doing it to get a reaction out of me. I decided not to play into his little game in case he was doing it on purpose. Instead, I decided to get my own rise out of him.
"Edward, have you been here before? I mean, have you ever brought any of your past conquest here," I said to him sounding a little bit insulted.
His face fell. I could see the panic in his expression while he was trying to find the words to speak them out loud. I suppressed my laughter and kept a straight face.
"Oh my God Bella, is that what you think? I have never been here in my life. My dad suggested this place because he's brought my mother here on several occasions. Bella, I told you that I've only been with one other girl before you and that was in Alaska. So I hope that answers your question."
He looked truly hurt and I felt bad for doing that to him.
"Edward, I was only playing. I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought I'd get a rise out of you for a change since you're always dazzling me. I promise not to do it again. Do you forgive me?"
"I could never stay mad at you for long love. I'm glad that you got some laughter out of it, but please don't say anything like that again. You are too important to me for me to ever take you someplace I've taken another girl to. You are my life Bella…nothing but the best for you love."
"Speaking of which, I have your birthday present for you. I know I gave you the gift card for Borders books and also the gift certificate for you to go to the spa, but this is something special that you can wear all the time."
Just then, he pulled out two boxes from inside his suit jacket and placed them on the table in front of me. One was a square shape and the other was a rectangular shape.
"Go ahead and open them up love."
I opened up the long one first and saw a beautiful silver charm bracelet. On the bracelet was a silver heart with a ruby in the middle of it. Immediately I began to cry.
"Don't cry Bella, please love. I wanted to get you something special that you could look at and think of me all the time. Baby, please open up the other box," he said softly.
I looked up into his eyes and saw how happy he was, if only he knew how happy I felt on the inside. To know that he loves me so much to do all of this for me. He had to have spent several thousand dollars on this whole weekend. I was so in love with this man that has only been my boyfriend for such a short period in time. I couldn't deny it, he has my heart so completely. In ways Jasper never had.
I took the square box in my hand and I pulled the top off of it. Inside was a matching charm necklace with a bigger silver heart with a bigger ruby in the middle of it.
"I love them both Edward. Thank you,"
I said to him softly. I was afraid I would start crying again so I tried to compose myself. He just took my hand in his and rubbed circles across the back of it.
In no time, I felt back to my normal self. The waiter came over and took our order, right after I opened my gifts. While we waited for our food we talked about the symphony we had just saw. Edward told me that he wanted to take me to more shows like that, since we both shared a love for the arts.
When our food came we ate in a comfortable silence, only speaking to comment on the food. After the main course, we shared a chocolate mousse before leaving the restaurant.
Since tonight was our last night in the city, Edward wanted to take me to star gaze. We drove to a spot that Rose had told him about and we walked over to a big rock that we both were able to fit on and sat down.
Edward wrapped his arms around me and we looked up into the sky. The stars were so beautiful, it was almost magical just sitting there staring up at them. We sat there for awhile, not talking, not doing anything but being with each other.
After some time had past, Edward suggested that we make our way back to the hotel to get some sleep. We would be heading back to Forks in the early part of the day.
We drove back to the hotel with our hands linked together. We parked the car and walked hand in hand to the elevator. Once we were inside the room, I decided that I wanted a hot shower before going to bed. Edward said he would wait up for me in the bed.
I walked over to the armoire and gathered the things I would need, being sure to not let Edward see. I then went into the bathroom closed and locked the door, before starting my shower.
Once I was ready, I took a deep breath and then walked out into the room. What I saw before me took my breath away completely.
"Breathe Bella," Edward told me.
I couldn't have been in the shower for no more than 15 minutes and maybe another 10 minutes to get dressed and prepared for bed, so that mean that Edward must of went right to work as soon as he heard the shower start.
There were candles strategically placed around the room. There was scented white with a hint of pink rose petals covering the linen on the bed. On a plate next to the bed were chocolate covered strawberries and 2 glasses of what I assume to me champagne.
In the background soft piano music was playing and as if fate had set this all in motion, Edward had on sheer white pajama bottoms…which matched the sheer in my white halter babydoll lingerie.
My personal Adonis was walked over to me and took my hand in his, leading me over to the bed. I couldn't seem to take my eyes off the beautiful package that was inside those unbelievably sexy sheer pants he was wearing.
"See something you like, love?"
"Most definitely! When did you purchase those pants and where the hell was I?"
"When we went shopping and you went to buy some make-up, I slipped into Frederick's of Hollywood and purchased these pants. I thought they might come in handy one day. I just wanted to have something sexy to wear to turn you on, I hope that's okay."
"It's more than okay. It's heartwarming to know that you went out of your way to do something that special for me. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to remove those pants for your body now."
"Please do, but only if I get to unwrap that wonderful ensemble you're wearing. I want you to keep the shoes on though."
"Ooooh naughty, naughty Edward. I like him a lot!"
"I'm only getting started. Bring your sexy ass over here," he said smacking me on the ass I moved onto the bed.
Edward and I made love over and over and over again. Taking necessary breaks in between of course, but not for long. After round three, we decided we've had enough sex for the night.
When I opened my eyes, I felt the aches and pains from our previous night activities. I heard Edward moan next to me, telling me that he also felt the same aches and pains.
"Love, I'm going to schedule us some massages before we leave. How about we shower have some breakfast and then go for that massage?"
"That sounds exactly like what I need. I'll go shower real quick while you schedule us some massages and while you shower, I'll order us some room service."
"Sounds good."
I looked around the room as I went to stand up. There were rose petals all over the floor and our champagne glasses were also laying on the floor. Edward had used a few of those chocolate covered strawberries to flavor my body before he licked it all up. Of course I returned the favor. We used all the strawberries up last night, the empty plate was sitting on the side table, all alone.
A smile crept on my face as I took in my surroundings, remembering all of the things that we did to one another and together. Definitely a night I will never forget!
I was still naked, but I felt so comfortable around Edward that I didn't try to cover myself up.
After taking a hot shower and brushing my teeth, I walked back inside the room with my towel wrapped around my body. I didn't want to wear anything that took much thought, so I opted to put on my pink "Juicy" sweat suit. I brought it just in case we did something that required loose fitting clothing. Even though my pants hugged my curves, it was still stretchable.
I brushed my wet hair out and then put it up in a military ponytail. That way it would be out of my face and out of the way of the masseuse.
While Edward was in the shower, I ordered us some omelets, coffee, and orange juice. I always have to drink orange juice whenever I eat breakfast meals.
Edward came out a short while later looking good and smelling even better. He was wearing some Curve Crush. Mixed with his natural smell, it was intoxicating.
He put on some tan cargo pants, a black long-sleeved crew neck shirt with a white polo over top of it. He threw on his white air force ones and looked like he walked straight out of a Footlocker catalog.
Our food arrived a short time later and we quickly ate it before having to leave to make our massage appointment.
I felt a hundred times better after my massage. It was almost as if my body got a redo. I felt wonderful. Edward also felt much better, now we could get packed and head back home.
I wasn't ready for our time here to end. It was natural to be here with Edward, like we were the only two people in the world and that's all we needed.
We were packed and ready to go in less than an hour. The bellhop came up to retrieve our luggage and take it down to the lobby for us. We doubled check to make sure we weren't forgetting anything before heading down to the lobby. Edward checked us out and then went to bring the car to the front.
Once all of our luggage was placed inside of the trunk, Edward helped me in the car, before getting on his side. We were heading home.
Edward took his time driving back, not wanting to rush our last few hours together. We stopped and had lunch at a cute little diner and then we were pulling up to my house.
My dad's cruiser wasn't parked out front, so that means he was working today. I noticed Victoria's car parked out front and knew that her and my brother was inside, I just hope they were fully clothed.
Not wanting to take any chances, I texted him to let him know we were parked outside and that I would be coming inside in a few and for them to not be naked.
He texted me back a few moments later and said, "thanks for the heads up".
We gave them a couple extra minutes, before Edward grabbed my luggage out of the trunk and carried into the house for me. He took it up to my room and then met me downstairs in the kitchen.
"You have several packages on your bed love, probably from your mom and PaPa."
"Oh okay. I'll check them out later. Did you need to get home or did you want to watch a movie?"
"I can stay and watch a movie with you. I don't have anything to do when I get home besides get my clothes ready for school tomorrow, but that won't take long at all."
"Good, you can stay and watch a movie and then I'll fix us dinner before you go home."
"Okay."
I went and checked the freezer and realized I needed to get some more groceries. Just then James and Victoria came downstairs.
"Hey birthday girl, how was your weekend away? Did you get my text yesterday?"
"Hey brother dear. I did get your text, thanks by the way, and I had a great time in Seattle."
"Hi Victoria, it's good to see you," I said to my brother's girlfriend.
"Hi Bella, Happy Belated Birthday. I got you something, it's up in your room," she said.
"Oh thanks, but you didn't have to get me anything. That was really sweet of you."
"I didn't mind, plus I saw it and thought of you. So I hope you like it and don't be afraid to say that you don't if you really don't."
"I will keep that in mind," I replied with a smile.
"Hey James, would you mind doing me a favor?"
"It depends. What do you need me to do?"
"Would you mind going to the grocery store and picking up a few things for me? I'll write out a list so you don't forget what it is I need. I'm going to make dinner tonight for us, Edward is staying and you're more than welcome to stay too Victoria," I said.
"Yeah, I guess I can do that for you. We were heading out to the store anyway. I don't want to get a whole lot of stuff though Bells, so please don't make the list too long."
Victoria said she would be staying for dinner too.
I wrote down what I would need to make a delicious meal for my family and our significant others. James said that dad would be eating dinner over at Harry Clearwater's house after his shift.
"So dinner for four it is!"
I gave the list to James and he looked it over.
4 Porterhouse Steaks
4 Big Potatoes
1 bag of Salad Mix
12 pack of Pepsi
"Okay Bells, we'll be back shortly."
They both greeted Edward on their way out, as I made my way over to the family room for our movie.
"What did you pick out baby?"
"Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist," he replied.
"I haven't seen that one yet, but I've heard great things about it. Michael Cera was hilarious in "Superbad" and "Juno", so I don't think we'll be disappointed."
We got cozy on the sofa and turned on the movie. 45 minutes into it, James and Victoria came back. James put all the items on my list in the fridge.
Once the movie was over, Edward asked me if I needed his help with preparing dinner and I told him no. I wanted him to just relax and watch some TV with my brother and his girlfriend.
I went into the kitchen and turned on the oven. I took out the steaks and potatoes and rinse everything. I seasoned the steaks, topping them off with onions and mushrooms before placing them in the oven.
I put the timer on and then forked the potatoes so they could cook quicker in the microwave.
Once I was done with that, I prepared the salad and then put it back in the fridge to keep fresh and cool.
An hour later we were at the dining room table feeding our faces. We all joked and laughed and talked about my weekend in Seattle. After we were done, James and Edward cleared the table and put the dishes in the dishwasher.
James and Victoria decided to watch a movie and Edward said he needed to get home. I walked him to the door and thanked him again for an unbelievable weekend. He took me in his arms and we kissed for a few before he broke away and said that he would be by in the morning to pick me up for school. I watched him get in his car and drive off.
I said goodnight to Victoria and James, saying that I needed to get my things unpacked and prepare for school in the morning. Once inside my room, I immediately plugged up my cellphone to charge, because it was about to die. I also put my Ipod on it's docking station to play music and charge while I unpacked and looked for clothes to wear to school tomorrow.
After I was done, I took a shower and put on my pajamas. I decided to open my gifts before I went to bed. I saw Victoria's giftbag sitting on my bed and decided to open it up first. Inside was a Baby Phat purse that was to die for. There was a matching wallet inside the bag too. I would be sure to thank her tomorrow at school.
My brother had bought me some bad ass brown suede boots. My mother got me a scrapbooking kit, because that's my new favorite pastime. PaPa got me a brand new Canon Powershot SD1100 camera.
My dad surprised me the most by buying me a nice silver Gucci watch from the new Sangoria collection. It was beautiful and timeless. Carlisle and Esme bought me roundtrip tickets to San Francisco and included a paid weekend stay at one of the pricier hotels on the wharf. Inside of the last bag was a Gucci hobo "jockey" purse, in brown. There was no card or no note with it. I just assumed it was part of the stuff Carlisle and Esme got for me.
I would have to make sure I thank everyone tomorrow for all the wonderful gifts they gave me. I put everything away in my closet and went to lie down in my bed. I know that my mom had wanted me to call her when I got home, but I was too beat to call her tonight. I would make sure I called her as soon as I got home from school tomorrow.
Edward called me a few minutes after I had layed down. He just wanted to say goodnight. We talked for a few more moments and then we both said we were going to bed.
That night I dreamed of a brown eyed, bronze haired boy and a green eyed mahogany haired girl. They looked to be no more than around 5 years of age and they were playing at the beach. All of a sudden they were running towards a man and woman that was sitting a few feet behind them watching them as they played.
The woman had on the most beautiful diamond ring I've ever seen and the man also had on a diamond ring on his left ring finger. When the little boy and little girl reached the man and woman, who they referred to as mom and dad, it was then that I noticed that it was Edward and me that they were talking to.
I think I just had a dream about our future kids and they were absolutely perfect. They were also…twins just like Edward and Alice.
Before anything more could happen, my alarm was going off!
