Sorry for the delay, but I have been very busy. But I wont let you wait to long for the next chapter, I promise!
"Bella, love, time to wake up." Edwards low voice together with his hand, gently caressing my cheek made it easy to wake up.
I yawned and stretched my arms before I opened my eyes. "I didn't think I would go under so quickly, but I think I slept most of the time."
"Yes you did, and you are so adorable when you snore." Edward winked and I felt my cheeks blush and I felt awkward.
"No need for that, it wasn't loud." Jasper reassured me.
"I hope I didn't speak at least…"
"Only about how much you looked forward to this trip." Alice smiled and got ready to take her things.
"But, how, the sun?" Of course I was thinking about them, how they would manage with the sun.
"Alice is great with that you know. She knew and planned this trip up together with the forecast. So today the sky is overcast and with no sun." Edward explained to me. It was obvious but I still wasn't used to how Alice mind worked.
As the plan got ready for us to leave it, Edward grabbed all my stuff. As usual he was the perfect gentleman, and I together with Alice didn't have to do a thing. We walked behind Jasper and Edward, giggling. I couldn't resist, because Alice was so happy and it rubbed of to me.
Jasper had arranged a taxi to take us to the harbour. There we had a boat waiting for us. Naturally everything was already taken care of, and Edward manoeuvred the boat as well as he drove his Volvo. It was pure joy, sitting in the boat together with Alice, Jasper and Edward. Even if the sky was cloudy and it was still hot in the air, it reminded me of Phoenix. As much as I loved Phoenix and the warmth I couldn't never exchange Forks. My new life was in Forks, and this upcoming fall had a lot of new experiences waiting for me. Like the wedding among other things, I shivered.
"Are you cold?" Edward looked at me, anxious.
"No, just thinking about things. Nothing to worry about." We always joked about getting cold feet, and I still wasn't used to knowing that he really loved me. I wasn't the one would leave him at the alter, I loved him too much for that. I was afraid he would realize minutes before the ceremony that I was to plain for him and his family and leave me there, alone. I did trust him, but that little feeling inside couldn't go away.
"Bella, I think you will love the little hotel. It doesn't have a pool, but there is many beaches not far from the hotel. And of course, we have a car ready for us." Alice soft voice made my thoughts go away for the moment.
"I'm sure you're right, you some how now what I like and dislike. But I hope we don't share a room?" As much as I loved Alice and Jasper, having a room together with them was a little bit too much.
"No, never, it's not fun to share a room with someone that have to sleep all the night! There is too many fun things to do at night." I sighed of relief when Alice ended the sentence.
"I don't think room is the right word, think apartment. That's the size of the rooms. Alice can't function with a space smaller then her bedroom. And you know how big that is"! Jasper winked at me and the looked lovingly at Alice.
"You know me right, dearest." Alice looked back at Jasper.
"So I'm not gonna be surprised then when I see the apartment then?"
"No, that's right." Alice turned and looked out towards something my eyes couldn't yet see.
"Do you see it Bella?" Alice mocked me.
"No I don't, thank you very much!" She smiled and I couldn't be mad with her.
"Don't tease Bella, Alice! That's not nice. She already know she can't see as well as us." Jasper winked at Alice and they both laughed.
"Wait, now I think I see something." I tried to made myself heard over Alice and Jaspers laughter. "There, the lights."
"Yeah, only ten more minutes with this boat." Edward made the boat go even faster and my eyes got misted up because of the hard wind.
Suddenly the boat slowed down and I saw the little harbour with the small yachts and boats laying side by side, by the bridge. The sun had almost gone down completely and I longed to go to my room and take a shower.
Edward manoeuvred the boat carefully and Jasper helped him to berth the boat by the bridge. Alice took out bags and put them in a pile. I was to amazed by the scenery that I didn't even notice them doing all the work. It was Edwards voice who woke me up.
"Bella, we are ready to go to the hotel, are you?" I heard Alice and Jasper giggle and I turned to face them.
"Yeah, I'm just stunned over how beautiful this is! I know you are used to travel and have seen many places. But I haven't. This is a completely new experience for me, so just bare me out. I'm sorry if you think I'm slow…" I was always the one behind, taking too much time to do anything and I didn't like that. For now, the only thing I could do is to apologize.
"Don't be sorry, love! Take all the time that you need, were not in a hurry." Edwards voice together with Jaspers empath moves made me fell better at once.
I took my little bag and reached for Edwards hand. He lifted me out from the boat and we walked slowly on the bridge headed for the car Jasper had rented. Edward helped me in to car, never letting my hand go and I sensed the love he felt for me, streaming out from his body, into his hand, into my hand.
It only took about ten minutes to reach the little family hotel and all the time Alice talked with a low voice to Jasper in the front of the car. I had so much to look at that I didn't heard what they said. Edwards never-ending patience for me made him just watch me while I took in all the new things I saw for the first time. All the small white stone houses with tints of blue around the windows and the blue front doors. Here and there, large bits of fabric stuck to the windows moved easily in the breeze from the wind.
Jasper slowed the car down and turned the engine of. "This is it", he said.
We all got out and Jasper and Edward took out our bags. Alice and I took our small bags and knocked on the front door. A large man with a big moustache opened the door quickly, as if he had waited for us for a while.
"Welcome, welcome." He said slowly, it wasn't hard to understand him.
"Thank you Mr. Tadidis." Alice's angelic voice made Mr. Tadidis blush and he took our bags. Edward and Jasper went towards the desk, ready to sign us in. When Mr. Tadidis gave Edward the book to write his name in, he started to ask Mr. Tadidis things in Greek. I raised an eyebrow and turned to Alice.
"So he speaks Greek to?" I shouldn't be surprised.
"Yes, that's one of the many languages he speaks. I don't now how many he can at the moment, so don't be shocked if he suddenly ask you something in Swedish." Alice giggled and I just shook my head. There was always something to new to know about Edward.
Mr. Tadidis closed the books and walked towards the staircase. Edward joined my side again. "Greek?"
"Yeah, I was bored a couple of years ago, and with not needing any sleep I learned Greek immediately." His crocked smile made my heart skip a beat.
"I should have known." I took his hand and walked up the staircase behind Jasper and Alice with Edward behind me.
The staircase ended in the middle of the top floor. When I looked around I only saw two doors. One to the left end of the hallway and one on the right end of the hallway. Mr. Tadidis said something in Greek and Alice together with Jasper got a key and went towards the door to the left. Then Mr. Tadidis gave a similar key to Edward and pointed to the right.
"Good night, miss." Mr. Tadidis said to me and then walked down the stairs.
"Isn't this beautiful?" Alice voice startled me and I jumped.
"Alice, take it easy." Edward grunted to Alice.
"It's okay, just so much to take in. Was your room to your liking, Alice?" I was sure that she had something she could complain about.
"Yes, I love it. You can see it tomorrow, Jasper needs me. Good night." She kissed me on my cheek lovingly and smiled at Edward.
"Ready to see our room now?" Edward towed me along down the long hallway. When he opened the door I gasped. It was so beautiful.
At first there was a resting area with a large white sofa just under one of the big oversized windows. All the windows was opened and from outside I heard the oceans waves. The pillows on the floor were in different colours, from purple to off white, making the feeling in the room relaxed.
I couldn't close my mouth, and the further in the room we got, the more beautiful things I saw, but when Edward opened the blue double doors I dropped my jaw. The big room with the large king size bed in the middle was magnificent. The dark wood on the headboard and footboard shined in the moonlight and the large white duvet with the matching pillows were very inviting. The bed was the centrepiece of the room, and it was hard to take my eyes of it, but I tried. I stroke my hand gently on the soft footboard and walked to the other side of the room, there was a little turquoise sofa, with a large blanket on the side. In front of the sofa, a little table filled with lit candles, making the room feel warm.
I heard Edward behind me, not saying a word, letting me examine the room myself. In front of the little table there was two windows with a big door in between them. The door was slightly open, so I pushed it open even more. There was a rather big balcony filled with flowers in every colour imaginably. The scents from the flowers blew my mind away and I couldn't stop inhaling the sweetness from them. On the balcony there was a four chairs and a big table in the middle.
"What du you think?" Edward came from my behind and laid his arms around my body and folded his hands on my stomach.
"Love it, it doesn't get better than this!" I laid my hands on top of his strong arms and sighed.
"Yes it does love."
"How so?" I challenged him.
"You haven't seen the bathroom yet." I turned around, still with his hands around me and saw his smile.
"Now I'm curios, can I see it?"
"Of course, love. Follow me." He let me go and took my hand.
We went out from the bedroom towards the relax room again and Edward opened a smaller door on the opposite side of the room, from the bedroom.
"I think you're right, as always." The thing I aimed for was the grand jacuzzi in the middle on the room, just under another large window.
"Maybe we should test it tonight, to see if it works?" Edward smiled and his suggestion sent electric beams down my spines, into my legs.
"That sounds like a good idea." I smiled, trying to remember if I had packed a bikini or not.
"Check your new bag, I think Alice packed you something to ware."
"Probably." Of course she had, she knew this was about to happen. So I walked out towards the bedroom where Edward had put down our cases and opened the Louis Vuitton bag.
"I'll get this monster started, just shout when your ready." Edward said when he took his trunks from the other bag.
"Okay, if I'll find something to ware." Edward closed the door and I started to work thru the bag, trying to find something like a two piece bikini.
Alice had definitely not been thinking about how much all this cloths had cost. Cloths with famous brands like Chanel, DvF, Ralph Lauren, Versace and Givenchy. The list could go on and at some point I stopped looking at the brands and started concentrating on finding what I was looking for.
Of course, at the bottom of the case I found it. Three sets of bikinis. Simple but nice ones. I chose the blue one, knowing it was Edwards favourite colour on me.
I changed and adjusted the halter neck and wrapped my hair in a knot, on my head. I took a towel that Edward had left for me on the bed, wrapped it around my body and opened the door. "I'm ready now." I whispered out in the room, aware that Edward could hear me.
"I'm in the bathroom." I heard him answer.
So I walked towards the bathroom door and slid it open. Hundreds of candles in the bathroom were lit. The Jacuzzi were filled with water and bubbles and Edward was already in it.
"Wow, this is amazing." Even thou the room was magical I couldn't stop my eyes from wandering towards Edwards bare chest.
"Why don't you come and join me?" I was ready to throw away my towel and jump in, but instead I blushed. Not ready for the feelings inside me, the desire for him and his body. I wanted to caress him, stroke his body and taste him.
"What's the matter Bella?" Edward face suddenly become a bit worried.
"It's nothing. Love you."
"Love you too." He responded. That gave me enough self-esteem to unwrap the towel and threw it to the side and climb into the Jacuzzi. The hot water embraced my body and the smell from the bubbles made me relax.
I closed my eyes and sighed loudly. I tilted my head back and felt how Edward took my hand under the water. His hand were warm, from the hot water and my hand didn't get goose bumps as it always did.
"Open your eyes."
I did what he said and in an instant he had grabbed my body and unexpectedly I sat in his lap. His one arm around my back, holding my into place and the other on top of my thigh under the hot water.
"That was fast." I smiled, feeling the butterflies in my stomach.
"That's how I do it." His hands gently massaging my body. I closed my eyes again, feeling the tingling feeling in my body and smiled.
"What?" Edward said curiously.
"Nothing…or everything. This, all this. It's so much, and I love it. Being here with you, sharing this holiday with Alice and Jasper. Sitting in this big Jacuzzi with your arms around me. I feel the love for you growing bigger everyday, every hour, minute, second! I love you so much that I think my heart is about to burst any day now!" I opened my eyes again and gave him a kiss on his cheek.
"That how it is for me too. The love I have in my body for you, I cant put words on it, it's to much. The feeling is to strong. You are my everything, my all, my future. I cant live without you. You mean the world to me." A tear from my eye slid down my cheek and Edward captured it with a kiss.
This was enough, I felt satisfied for now, knowingly that after the wedding in august he was to make me a part of his body, of himself with his venom and we could spend the eternity together.
Once again I closed my eyes and felt how the long journey, together with the hot bath and Edward beside me made my body feel tired. With a large yawn I feel asleep in my favorite position, in Edwards arms.
