Chapter 3

I grabbed my pajamas and headed for the bathroom, yet again. I changed quickly and raced back to my room. Edward was laying on my bed, stretched out like a cat, basking in the sun. His arms were behind his head and his eyes were closed. The door clicked when I shut it and a smile crept across his face.

I crawled onto the bed and wrapped one arm around his ice cold frame. He opened his eyes and stared at me, I could feel his gaze piercing the depths of my soul, warming every inch in a cool breeze type way.

"I love you Bella" He said kissing my forehead gently.

"I know" Was my instinctive response.

The night passed slowly for me, it must have been eternity for Edward. Even in my dreams I could find no escape from the unending night. My dreams were filled with random flashes of my time spent with Edward.

The following morning finally came, I peered into the harsh morning light and into the face of my Edward. I looked around and noticed the stack of books on my computer table. He must have read them to keep himself entertained. I felt bad for keeping him locked up in my room, prison for a normal person.

But Edward was far from normal.

"What are you thinking?" He questioned.

"Nothing" I lied, "Just waking up."

I threw off the covers and walked to him, I put my arms around his neck and let the essence of Edward fill me up. Edward wrapped his arms around me and swayed slightly from side to side.

My stomach rumbled and I tried to ignore it, but Edward heard it.

"You need to go eat" He said stating the obvious.

"I'm fine"

"What am I going to do with you Bella?" He asked pushing me to the door, "Your so stubborn."

I tried to protest, but Edward was not one to give up. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. I heard movement from upstairs and guessed that Charlie would probable want some breakfast. So I started with the pancake mix, reading the box to make sure that I wasn't, with my luck, messing it up.

Charlie emerged around the corner with a huge yawn. I poured the mix onto the cast iron, and watched the bubbles rise from the cooking cakes.

I finished with the first two and set the cakes in front of my father. He pulled them to him, opening the paper simultaneously.

He was first to give in to the silence.

"So... are you ready for tomorrow? Any jitters?" I knew he was still at it to talk me out of my foolishness.

My answer was simple, "Um, ya." It dawned on me, I had no idea how my big day was going to progress.

I finished scoffing down my breakfast, and raced to my truck. It started with no hesitation, I pulled it out of the driveway and onto the street. The time alone filled my head with thoughts, tomorrow I was getting married, I was to become a vampire that night, and I was to spend eternity with Edward.

"Am I ready for this?" I interrogated myself.

"Of course" Came a familiar voice from the passenger seat.

The initial shock of the moment left me speechless, "Edward, I swear if you ever do that again I think you will kill me."

"Well we wouldn't want that now would we?" He laughed, obviously laughing at the irony of the situation.

The drive to his house was filled with small chat of what his family had been up to in the past few days. But, I was more occupied with speaking with Alice.

When we walked in the door Alice was already waiting for me.

"I knew you were coming" She added tapping her temple. "Come with me."

I started forward. "You stay here" She commanded to Edward, "You can't come."

Edward did as he was told and stalked off to find Carlisle, Emmet, or Jasper. I followed Alice listening intently to the details of the following day.

"Well, in here we will have the wedding reception, and there will be the actual ceremony." She said pointing to the giant tent already set up in the backyard of the house.

We walked to the tent and Alice showed me exactly what to do, what to say and how to walk. My head was going to explode, to much, not enough time.

"Do you need to sit down?" Alice asked pulling one of the white chairs out of line for me.

"No, no I'm fine, just overwhelmed." She pushed the chair back in line and pulled me into a careful hug.

"Don't worry, everything will be over tomorrow night. I'm doing all the work, I should be overwhelmed not you." She added with a smile. Rosalie yelled out fore Alice and walked away briskly.

"It must be the caterers." I heard as she skipped back to the house. Edward appeared in the doorway, he nodded to Alice who punched him lightly on the shoulder. He let her pass and came stalking towards me.

"Ready for the big day?" He asked already knowing the answer.

"Only if you are."

He put his arms around my waist and threw me over his shoulder, slowly he turned enjoying me happy shrieks. He set me down and watched and I wobbled for a few seconds.

"I can't wait till I'm a vampire so I can pick on you for a change."

"Well what are we waiting for? We can fix that problem right now." He grabbed my arm and pulled me close. He put his face to my skin, tempting himself by grazing his teeth on my flesh.

My eyes and mind were elsewhere. Edward stopped teasing me, and looked up to see what I was so intently staring at. Rosalie was in the doorway spying.

A low growl erupted from Edward and Rosalie disappeared from the space.

"Don't worry, she's just jealous." He put in turning back to me.

"That's what worries me, I don't want her to hate me."

"She doesn't hate you. She just has issues, that's all."

The noon sun was strong, even concealed behind the clouds. The silver lining threatened.

"It looks like its going to rain."

"It won't. Alice knows." He looked up at the clouds.

"Is there any fun in life, if you can see what's about to happen." I asked, "You can never do things spontaneously."

"Yes you can."

"How?"

"That's a story for another day." He scoffed.

Well I can't spend all the day on the computer typing so I'm going to get off. Oh, and another tip-- Don't go see Cloverfeild its nicely made but the ending sucks. Bye!!!
