Chapter 17: Love at first sight
Bella's POV
After the greatest night of my life, I woke up and my fairy tale man was still here holding me.
Kissing me on my nose and worrying if I had slept well. Of course I slept well; I was in Edward's arms after all.
"Bella, Edward, can I come in, please? We need to plan for our shopping day today. Rose is going with us too." Alice said.
"Can we have a few more minutes please, Alice?" I asked, Edward smiled and started kissing my neck. It sends chills up my spine.
"Are you cold, love?"
"No Edward, I'm not cold, you just make me feel wonderful, in a new and strange way."
How could I explain something I, myself, couldn't understand? The closer he got to me, the closer I wanted him to me.
"We better go Edward, before Alice bursts in here and drags me out of your arms and into the mall."
Edward just laughed a musical laugh and kissed my forehead.
"Yes love, shall we?" Then he took my hand and lifted me from his bed and handed me my bathroom bag.
"I thought you couldn't read my mind, Edward?"
"I can't love, but that's always the first thing you want when you wake up."
I blushed, grabbed my bag, and headed to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and combed my hair.
"Bella, your clothes on the bed, Alice came and picked them out, I'm sorry, love." He added.
I rolled my eyes and gathered my things because I would be going home today. I loved my dad but I also loved being here in the Cullen's house, in Edward's arms in his bed, why would I want to be anywhere else?
I went into Edward's room and had gotten dressed; Edward was waiting outside the door for me. He walked me hand in hand down the stairs so I could eat breakfast.
Alice started jumping up and down, "What Alice, what is it that you've seen?" Edward asked.
"Tomorrow at school, Bella is going to get asked out by Mike Newton."
"Alice and this is funny, how?"
"Simple, he leans in to try and kiss her and she'll break her hand when she hits him." Alice said
This made everyone laugh. I felt a wave of calm overcome me and I looked up at Jasper who smiled and nodded. I would need to learn more about Jasper, he and I are more alike than different.
"Bella, I'll have Edward put all your things into my car, after you, Rosalie and I go out, I'll drive you home. Charlie will be home by seven so we must be going."
I gave Alice a small smile and shot a look at Edward, asking him for help. He smiled back at me with his breathtaking crooked smile and kissed my hand.
I blushed of course and that sent Emmett into a round of jokes and snickers, all at my expense.
Edward picked me up and carried me to Alice's car, most of the time I would have had a fit but this one time I let it go.
I put my face into the nook of his neck and breathed him in. I pressed my lips to his neck and kissed all the way up to his jaw line.
"Bella, you will be the death of me," I smiled and kissed on.
"Bella, Edward, you have later, it's time for us girls to go," Alice yelled as she hopped all around.
"You silly pixie!" Edward said as he kissed me goodbye. "Bella, I love you."
As Alice was pushing me into the car I yelled back, "I love you, Edward!" And then bit my lower lip.
And off Alice drove.

Edward's POV
Alice can be so nerve-racking. I had Bella, my Bella all to myself. She was sleeping in my arms; everything in my hundred plus life fell into place.
'Man, Eddie, Bella has you wrapped up already. I can't wait to tease her about how much you want her as in want her. Put it away man, she's shy.'
"Emmett, stop thinking about that!" I said at a low volume because I didn't want to wake Bella up and I knew Em would hear me anyway.
He just laughed in his mind and Rose told me if I didn't listen in all the time then I wouldn't know everything about everything.
I wanted to tell her that if Em wasn't yelling at me, I was trying to block out everyone but my Bella. But I knew that would just set her off and Rose was just starting to come around with the idea of me and Bella after all.
I have been fighting for it by myself and Alice, just kept showing me and I took a step back and knew that Bella was what I wanted, mind (how funny, I can't even hear it), body (how beautiful it is), and soul (now that was the true beauty all the way through.)
Bella was waking and Alice would be coming in soon to take my love and make her go shopping.
I didn't save Bella because Alice loved her too. Plus, the entire sister bounding time Bella could have with Alice and Rose both will be great for the future, as I have seen it in Alice's head.
Alice plans on buy Bella more clothes, she already has a blue dress all picked out. I saw it in her head right before she knocked on my door.
Bella got up and smiled at me as she went to get ready in the bathroom. I waited outside my door so I didn't make Bella nervous about dressing in front of me.
I knew she had before but now was different, we had told each other our true feelings. I thought she might need her space now.
We went down stairs so Bella could eat before they left for a long day of shopping. I longed to beg her not to go but I knew I didn't want to suffer Alice's wraith if I did.
I walked my Bella out to Alice's car or should I say carried her. I longed to have her close to me and wasn't ready to let her go.
Bella had put her head into the nook of my neck and started kissing me. "Bella, you will be the death of me." I told her.
I wanted to thank God for giving me Bella to love, but why would he have time for a monster like me?
"Bella, I love you," I told her as Alice was pushing her into the car and away from me. I heard Bella say it back as Alice drove away.
Now to work on this Mike Newton thing, who does he think he is? Asking my Bella out on a date. Get real, I also couldn't let Bella get hurt and break her hand.
If Mike thinks he's going to lay his lips anywhere near Bella, he's sadly mistaken.
"Emmett, how would you like to pay Mr. Mike Newton a visit with me?"
We all knew Emmett and his evil side. He was in and off we drove.
