Chapter 10: The News

I slowly ate the pancakes Edward made me. He seemed to enjoy my lack of complaints. In reality, I loved the house he built me. I shoved the last bit of pancake in my mouth, and swallowed.
"Did you enjoy your breakfast?" he asked with a smirk on his face.

"Yes, thank you Edward." His smirk became more pronounced.
"What?" I asked.

"Alice thought you were going to be difficult. I'm actually kind of happy she was wrong."
"You softened me up," I accused.

"I never said I wasn't trying to prove Alice wrong, it just happened." I glared at him.

"She'll be very disappointed that she was wrong, though," he mused.

"What do you mean?"
"I betted my time with you. If she won, I wouldn't see you until the wedding. If I won, I could spend as much time as I wanted with you."
"You bet your time with me!" I shrieked. "Edward, that's hardly fair. What if Alice won?"
"Bella, calm down it wasn't going to be that long anyway. The wedding is in a week."
"The wedding… is… in a week?"

"Yes. We have to address the invitations again." I sat there in silence, trying to remember where the time went.

"Bella, I was gone for ten days. Relax; summers go by quickly for you."

"Let's go then. I'm sure Alice wants to go shopping."

"It won't be that bad. If you want, I could come too."
"That sounds nice, but I wouldn't want to disappoint Alice further." I stood up, took his hand, and took him to the volvo. We drove back in silence. As we neared the house, his brow furrowed.

"What's wrong?"
"Alice saw something."
"What?" I was shocked.What did she see?

"Calm down, it's not that bad. I'm just confused by it." He shut off the engine, got up, and opened my door. He wrapped his arm around my waist. Alice opened the door at the sound of our approach. She looked disappointed.

"Bella, how was your date?" she asked, her voice scathing. I winced.

"Alice, be nice. It wasn't her fault our house looked so adorable." He smiled.

"Do you realize your wedding is ruined?" she asked Edward.

"It isn't ruined. Anyway, it was way out of control. Bella wouldn't talk to you for a long time. I did a favor for both of you. It's not my fault you took my bet." She scowled.

"Alice, you can still pick out what I'm going to wear." She smiled slightly.

"Bella, Charlie called a couple times here. He's becoming worried. Bella go home, and keep him from getting suspicious."

"Okay." Edward walked me back to the volvo, and drove into Charlie's drive way. I kissed him goodbye.

"Bella, be good. I love you, and I'll see you soon."

"Okay." As I left the car I remembered that Edward was worried about Alice's vision.

Thanks for all of the reviews. I don't own Twilight, New Moon or Eclipse. Should I have this story from Edward's POV? Tell me what you think of this chapter.
