I am so, so sorry for not uploading a chapter for so long, I hope you all can forgive me! I lost my flow... But now I've got it back, finally!
The breeze from the cool wind woke my body and head up. I blinked slowly and felt the sheet caress my body. I sighed over the memories from last night.
"Did I wake you up?" his soft voice whirled over to my ears.
"No, of course not, you never do." I turned to face his body and as always was struck by his beautiful body. He had his body on top of the white sheet and only wore a pair of khaki shorts. His marble skin glistened from the small beams from the sun just right outside our big window. "Hey, what time is it?" it felt like I've been asleep for awhile.
"Almost mid noon" he answered with a smile on his lips.
"Well it was a real workout last night..." I felt my cheeks get hotter and red so I turned my head down.
"It sure was, and I don't regret anything of it. I'm sorry that we didn't do this before, but I hadn't the trust in me. I thought the monster inside me would surface and hurt you, and your body... And I couldn't live with myself if I did."
I cut him off abruptly, and looked him straight in his eyes, "You don't have a monster inside you, you are pure good, not evil!! You are simply a man who has special gifts!"
"You are too kind, my love." he took my hand and I felt goosebumps raise over it.
"It's the truth, and that's that!" my stomach growled and I felt the hunger inside me.
Edward laughed and moved his hand from my hand to my stomach. "I think it's time for the human to eat, and not me this time!" He jumped easily of from the bed and took the telephone by the night stand. If I'd blinked I'd missed the whole thing.
"You're showing of!" I tried to be firm in my voice but I couldn't help but smile. He liked showing of, and I too.
His smooth voice ordered eggs, juice, coffee, fruits and sandwiches.
"All that for me?"
"No Bella, for us." he sighed and sat down on the bed. "They don't know here what we are so we have to pretend. Do you want me to ask if Jasper and Alice would join us?"
"Oh sorry." I blushed again and covered my face with my hands.
"Bella, it's okay. You are not used to this kind of living." He took my hands and forced them to leave my face. He leaned down and kissed me.
As usual I had a hard time breathing and when my stomach growled again I sighed displeased when Edward let go of me.
"How about Alice and Jasper? We have a lot of time doing this later, you know."
"As in eternity?"
"As in, talk about this later."
"Yeah, call Alice and Jasper. If I know Alice right, she is just outside of our door." I frowned in answer of his vague words.
"I think you are right." He went over to the front door, closing our bedroom door for me to get ready.
I heard him talk to Jasper and Alice and I hurried out of the bed. Of course my clumsiness had to reveal itself during a holiday and I screamed with pain.
"Bella?!" Edwards concerned voice reached me with in milliseconds.
"Dammit, just let me get something to cover my body first." Certainly, being almost naked was the first thing I thought about. So Edward helped me get a sundress over my body and the called Jasper and Alice in the room.
"What happened to you?" Edwards voice sounded very concerned and I grabbed my ankle.
"I think my clumsiness broke my ankle..." At this point I had tears in my eyes feeling stupid for ruining this vacation so abruptly.
"Let me see." Edward felt his way over my ankle and it felt good with his cold hands over it."Jasper, if you carry Bella to the sofa I can hold her ankle still."
"I feel that you are sad over this Bella, but don't be!" As Jasper spoke the words I felt more at ease. Sometimes it was great with vampires around who had special gifts.
Alice giggled as Jasper and Edward carried me over to the sofa. I tried not to scream with pain, and cursed Alice under my breath.
"So sorry Bella, but this is kinda your stile, doing something like this. Don't worry, we'll get you better in no time." She petted my arm and I forgave her instantly for laughing.
"It hurts, badly. I feel it throbbing.." I held my breath not to whimper, but it was hard so I looked at Edward. "A doctor, any doctor and some painkillers, please?"
"In a minute." Edward looked at Alice and she took his place. "I'll be right back." He kissed my forehead and grabbed a shirt before he was out the door.
"Does it hurt much, Bella?" Alice's voice was now anxious.
"Didn't you see this one coming? And yes, it hurts." I thought she could see everything that was about to happen, but this one maybe slipped away from her sight.
"The future is subjective, everything can change. So no, I didn't see you brake your ankle, just by getting out of your bed." Her face expression changed quickly and she smiled.
"Just take it easy Bella, Edward will be right back with a doctor. Maybe it's time to go home anyways. I think Esme would be pleased." Jasper got up from the sofa.
"Jazz, can you pack our things, I will take care of Bella's." She gave me a smile while she placed my foot under some pillows. I tried not to moan over the pain and watched her gracefully dance across my bedroom while packing my belongings.
"So Bella, do you want to talk about last night?" She didn't turn around from the bed to see my cheeks flush with red color.
" No, not really." even though I loved her as my own sister, this was a subject I couldn't talk about with her.
"Come on Bella. I did see that you was about to do it, but nothing more than that." She then turned around and faced me, her golden eyes were honest and I knew she didn't lie to me."But if you don't want to tell, that's okay too. I'm not gonna force you!"
"I know Alice..." I sighed and made a decision. "Well, I'm not gonna tell you any specifics, but what I can tell you, is was heavenly! Being so close with Edward, it took my breath away several times and I have no regrets, what so ever!" I couldn't help but smile when I spoke those last words.
Alice walked to my sofa and sat down beside me, her eyes glistening and a big, wide smile on her marble lips. "I know, it's one of the best things ever to share with a person you love more than yourself." She hugged me and looked me deeply in my eyes. "I'm so happy with having you in my family as my sister! If there is anything, anything at all, I will guide you and help you."
"Please, no more shopping trips, please!"
Alice laughed and answered to my plead, "Maybe not this week, but I think we need to do something about your wardrobe at home..." She jumped out from the bed and started to hum a unrecognisable tune.
She worked around the bedroom easily and packed my cloths in my Louis Vuitton bags and Edwards cloths in a black Samsonite suitcase.
After a while with looking at Alice dance around and humming I finally heard Edwards voice. He had someone with him, talking Greek and English combined. He opened the door and a introduced me to doctor Makridakis. The man was a bit shorter than Edward but a lot bigger. He felt trustworthy immediately with his nice eyes and I could relax. I didn't know what Edward had told the doctor but he placed himself in front of my ankle.
"Miss Swan, point out where it hurts." He said in weak English.
I did as he told and pointed to the now very swollen ankle. It had already started to change color, to a purple and yellow shade.
He touched the area with the bruises carefully and I grabbed the pillow beside me hard and closed my eyes. "Much pain?" The doctor questioned.
"Mhm." I answered with my lips tightly together.
The doctor turned to Edward, "Mr. Cullen, I think you are right. I need to x-ray, but it's obvious it's broken."
"Oh no." I moaned. In came Jasper and I felt the serenity flowing in the air. I gave him a harsh look, but he just smiled.
After some x-rays and with my foot in a cast we all begun to long flight home. I was in a terrible mood for ruining the holiday, for me being so damn clumsy. The others wasn't surprised by my emotions, and Jasper made almost everyone in the plane high in his attempt to make me feel better. But after the stewardesses couldn't stop laughing he toned down his ability's. Even though I was sure Edward could fly the stupid plane if he wanted too if the pilots would be too affected by Jasper.
I folded my arms and planted a grumpy face on my lips, trying hard to not look at Alice while she tried to make me feel better by doing funny faces. But I got lucky, not long after start I felt the painkillers easy my aching ankle. The painkillers worked its way through my body and I felt my arms slid down beside me and my eyelids got heavy. Just before I was out I felt a cold hand take my left hand.
I know my dreams are sometimes hard to explain, to understand and this one was no exception. Edward and I walked together hand in hand with carefree smiles on our faces, I didn't recognize the surroundings, but it felt like we were in another time age. Perhaps sometimes in the early twentieth century. Edward was dressed in a casual light suit with a matching cap on his head. I had a white dress with no waste line and a small hat on my head. A light blue scarf around my neck was the only trinket I had on. In Edwards other hand he had a picnic bag filled with food and a bright blanket.
As we got out from the town the surroundings changed dramatically. Suddenly we were in a deep forest. The environment felt creepy and I could feel the goosebumps raise on my arms. I looked over to Edward, he pressed my hand and forced a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes and I knew something was wrong. I heard a high roar and felt how my legs didn't want carry me any more.
"Bella, Bella?!" Edward whispered in my ear.
"Hurry away!" I yelled, not completely awake.
"Wake up, you're dreaming. Nothing or no one gonna hurt you." He's velvet voice calmed my body and I blinked a couple of times.
After a minute I could finally get a grip. "Those dreams, they are so real."
"It has probably something to do with your medicine. I will talk to Carlisle when we get back home." He kissed me on my lips, letting me taste his breath and it helped me relax so I could rest some more.
When we got back to our home airport I was pretty beat and Edward carried me to the car. He buckled me up like a child, but I was to tired to care.
"Home." He said quiet.
"As in home or your home?" I had two homes, one with my father and one with my new family.
"My home, Carlisle want to take a look at your injury." Of course, I almost forgot.
I opened my door but Edward was there in a second. "Not so fast Bella. Let me carry you inside." I didn't have much of a choice so I let him take the lead.
He scooped me up in his strong arms and Jasper held the door open for us. As we got in, Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie and Emmett worried faces met us directly.
"I'm okay you guys, I'm so clumsy, that's my life story." But they didn't smile and laugh as a expected they would do.
"Oh no!" I heard Edwards voice break and turned my head to see his face. His face was still, hard and overflowing with worry.
"Bella..." he whispered before he tightened his already firm grip on my body.
So, a cliffy. Sorry about that but I wanted to build something up after this story but in a new fanfic. So take a look on my account for something new, very soon!
And as always, please REVIEW! Those makes my day, and it gets easier for me to write. :)
