After the shower, Edward and I went down stairs to watch some mindless TV. To both of our surprise, no one was there. But there was a note.

Dear Edward and Bella,

We decided that tonight would be a great night to go hunting. We will be back midday tomorrow. Oh and this next part is only for Bella, Edward.

I looked over Edward's shoulder as he read the note. "This parts for you." He pointed to Alice's neat handwriting toward the bottom page.

"For me?" I asked and took the paper. It read:

How was it? I knew it was going to happen, but I didn't say anything to both of you, just so there were no expectations. I hope you and Edward are happy forever.

Thank you Edward for letting Bella read that, if you did! I'll see you both later.

Love,

Alice

"Did you read that part?" I asked, almost already knowing the answer.

"No." He said quickly. Too quickly.

"Are you lying?" I chuckled.

"Of course not. Seriously, I didn't read it!" He threw his hands up in protest. I nodded and kissed him on the cheek. We walked into the living room and turned on his huge plasma TV.

"There is nothing to watch." He said as he changed channels quickly.

"Honey," I put my hand on top of his, making his thumb stop pressing the button, "To know what is on, you must wait and watch." I informed him and slid the remote out from under his long, slender hands. He just nodded quietly and watched as I switched the channels slowly.

I was surprised at how obedient (he isn't a dog, I know) he was to my wishes. Before, he would protest about everything and anything I said, but now, he did whatever I wanted.

"Hmm…there is nothing to watch." I gave up trying to find a station with something good on. I turned it off and scooted closer to Edward.

"So, how are you this morning?" He asked playfully and threw his arm around my shoulder.

"Everything is just perfect." I said and snuggled closer to his body. I felt him squeeze me closer, but the moment was over before it really had started because I heard the door slam open and Alice calling out threw the house.

"You didn't hear her coming before?" I whispered to Edward.

"No, and don't accuse me, you didn't either!" He smiled and got up, exposing him and I sitting on the couch.

"Oh there you two are!" Alice screeched and ran over to us, hugging Edward and me. I blushed, knowing why she was giving us special treatment, "Did you get my note?"

"Yeah, we did. How was hunting?" I asked politely and sat back down on the couch. Edward plopped down next to me and put his hand around my waist. I saw Alice sit in a chair across from us.

"It was okay. Just deer and elk, and Emmett didn't have much fun." She smiled a dazzling smile and danced out of sight. Soon, we saw the rest of the family coming in. I really hoped Alice hadn't told anyone about her vision.

"Oh, hi Bella!" Carlisle waved at us and then ran up the steps in a blur.

"Hi." I muttered quietly, really hoping Alice didn't say anything. I saw a huge shadow start approaching us and knew immediately it was Emmett.

"How was hunting?" Edward asked, already knowing the answer.

"Don't even ask!" He yelled and followed Rosalie's slim figure walking up the stairs.

"What is he thinking?" I asked, seeing no one in the room anymore.

"The power is for me, not for you." Edward said, crossing his arms. Now, all-of-a-sudden, he was being his normal, fighting-over-everything self. I wonder if it is because of his family, but that thought was soon out of my head because Edward was kissing me. I kissed him back quickly, but pulled away, wanting to stretch my legs.

"Want to go somewhere?" I asked Edward, whose face was hurt and confused at why I had pulled away.

"Didn't you hear me before? No going anywhere!" He repeated himself.

"But what if it is a secluded place where no one can see me or anything?" I asked.

"Maybe." He said and got up. He held my hand and walked up the steps at human pace. When we were passing Emmett's and Rosalie's room I heard a strange noise.

"Edward?" I whispered as quietly as I could.

"Just ignore it, Bella." He tugged my hand and quickly led me up the next flight of stairs. I let my curiosity die down as I remember what Edward had once said. "Emmett and Rosalie are both very physical people."

Once we were in Edward's room, he started looking through his huge CD collection.

"Music?" I asked and looked out his window to see the beautiful Sol Duc River.

"I just felt like listening to something." He said and I heard him open a CD case and put it in the player. I heard the familiar sound of Debussy fill the air.

"You remember that one time I had this song in my car?" Edward asked and I nodded, "You knew the song, which was such a surprise to me. Most people your age, I mean our age," He corrected himself, "Listen to mindless rap, which I obviously don't like. You had surprised me so much, but then I later found out that you would surprise me all the time. From saying things I never thought you would to totally ignoring the whole Edward-is-a-vampire thing." He referred to himself in third person. I nodded, listening to the beautiful Clair de Lune play through the speakers. It reminded me of my mom, which I hadn't seen for what seemed like ages. I again looked out at the now cloudy sky. Mom hates it here. I chuckled at myself. I don't know what she was talking about when she said that Forks was a horrible place to live…

It was now midnight and all the Cullens were down stairs, playing a very violent game of Go Fish. I sat in Edward's lap, sharing a hand of cards together. I looked at Emmett, who was scowling. He was mad about playing with Edward since he could read minds.

"But that is totally unfair! He can see all my cards!" Emmett growled as Alice swiftly handed out the cards.

"I promise I won't use my powers, promise." His voice sounded so sincere, but I knew better than to believe him. I guess Emmett knew better too.

"No!" He yelled and stomped on the floor, making the house shake slightly. If Rosalie was here, she would have been able to calm him, but once we had said we had told her we were going to play a card game she had said she needed to work on her make-up, or something. Obviously an excuse to stay away from me, but for right now, I didn't care.

"Bella do something." Edward whispered the smallest of whispers into my ear. I knew what he was talking about almost instantly.

"Emmett." I called his name, but he was still trying to reason with Carlisle, "Emmett!" I yelled and he looked at me, "Now come on, you know Edward won't cheat. He is a fair player and has he ever broken the rules?" I asked, making total eye contact with him. His eyelids started drooping.

"Yes, you." He said dreamily.

"Oh, well other than that?" I asked him, smiling as everyone else started to see what I was doing.

"Okay, Edward can play." Emmett gave in and I smiled happily, leaning back into Edward's hard chest.

Everyone picked up their cards and started to look at them. I was able to see all his and he occasionally asked for my assistance, even though he knew I was horrible at this game.

"Does anyone have any aces?" Carlisle asked. I looked at Edward's card and saw an ace. I was about to say that we did, but I felt him nudge me. I kept quiet.

Once it was his turn, Edward went on a role. He asked all the cards that he had and knew that the other players had. By the end, the whole stack was gone and no one had any pairs except him.

"That was so unfair!" Emmett roared and ran up the steps, I chuckled.

"Edward, you promised." Esme scolded in a motherly tone.

"I'm really sorry, but I had to." He said so innocently that I almost believed him.

"Just don't do it next time." She said and got up, holding Carlisle's hand. She didn't seem affected at all by his beautifulness and ability to dazzle so well. I soon saw Jasper and Alice staring at each other in such a loving manner that I felt wrong looking. But soon, they got up as well and went to their own room, Jasper kissing Alice's hand the whole way up. I sighed, feeling so content that I thought I might just burst!

"So, great team work, huh?" Edward chuckled, sliding me off his lap.

"Oh yes!" I smiled and looked out the window. I could see a small light coming from the east as the sun slowly started to crawl into the sky.
