Here it is. Chapter 5. This one took a lot of research on my part. I've never been to Britain or England, so I had to.

Chapter 5: A Time to Remember
EDWARD'S POV
As the night progressed, I thought of everything that had happened the passed day. The plane ride, the limo, love making, and watching my Bella sleep. I gazed at my angel lovingly as her deep breaths signified her deep sleep. The sheets covered her body up to her shoulders, giving me a slight view of the curve of her breasts. I ran a hand softly down her shoulder, down her body, feeling the feminine curves of my wife.
Everything was going just as I had planned it. The hours ticked by as I continued to watch her sleep. As the clock struck four in the morning, I sat up slowly as to not rouse Bella from her sleep. I had a lot of work to do.
First I went down stairs to the kitchen. I entered and a chef immediately appeared.
"Can I help you sir?" he asked, thick with a British accent.
"Yes. I would like you to prepare a wonderful breakfast for my wife this morning."
He bowed, "Of course. Anything you recommend?"
"Surprise me, but be sure to include strawberries. They are her favorite."
"Yes, sir."
I exited the kitchen as the chef got to work. Next I made a quick phone call for a special surprise. Then I quickly ran to the nearest flower market and bought two dozen roses in red, white, and light pink.
When I returned, I snuck, with vampire quietness, back to the bedroom. Almost nervously, I began a bath in the large Jacuzzi tub. I glanced at the clock. I had no need to rush. It was now 6 A.M. Bella would be up at nine. I made sure to make the water scalding hot so that when she awoke it would have cooled enough for my Bella to relax.
Once that task was complete, I checked again for the breakfast which was nearly complete. Afterwards, I quietly made a trail of rose petals from the bedroom to the bathroom where I had lit candles and sprinkled petals all around and in the bath tub. The room quickly filled with the smell of roses and fresh freesia.
Nodding in approval, I wrote a quick note and stuck it to the pillow where I would have been currently laying. I walked to the backyard to prepare for the rest of my morning surprise.
Before I knew it, the time had caught up to me. Thankfully my task was complete for the time being.
BELLA'S POV
Something was off and I couldn't quite put my hand on it. I shifted slightly and my brows furrowed. Slowly, my eyes fluttered open. At a momentarily lack of memory, I forgot where I was and shot up from the bed making my head spin.
Once the spinning stopped, I looked around the room and the memories of the day before came flooding back to me. I smiled happily at the thoughts of last night. For the first time since I had awoken, I noticed that Edward wasn't with me. The side of the bed he had been laying on was cool, indicating he had been gone for a long time. My eyes drifted to the pillow and I noticed the piece of paper lying quaint there. I reached out and lifted it.
I opened its fold, and sweetly written in neat strokes, was a note. It read:
My sweet Bella,
Sorry that you did not wake to me this morning love. Duty calls. Please if you will, follow the rose petals, and they shall lead you.
A loving husband
I smiled and held the note to my heart. I glance up and saw the rose petals blanketing the floor. I grabbed the afghan from the night before and unfolded myself from the bed. I padded softly across the carpeted floor, following the petals curiously. They led me to the double doors of the bathroom. Gently, I pushed the doors open and gasped at the sight. The lights were dimmed low and the smell of roses and freesia made me tingle. I timidly stepped into the center of the bathroom and spun in circles, taking in the beautiful sight.
The bath was full with warm water and rose petals of loving colors. I let the afghan fall to the floor with a soft 'swoosh'. On the faucet was another note.
Bathe, my dear, until you are content. Take your time. You have all the time in the world.
Enjoy.
I giggled and lowered my body into the warm and inviting water. My muscles immediately relaxed, and I sighed in refreshment. For a long time, I just soaked pleasantly. Before my skin could pruned though, I exited the bath and drained the water.
Toweling myself off, I re- entered the bedroom to find a beautiful morning dress awaiting me. It was cotton soft and a lovely blue, Edward's favorite color on me. I put it on slowly. Once it was on, I glanced at myself in the body length mirror to admire myself…well more like critique myself. Sometimes I didn't see what Edward saw in me.
The dress stopped just above my knees, and once again I took noticed a small shoe box at the end of the bed. I opened it and found a pair of stylish blue flats. I strapped them on and rose up to exit the bedroom.
I was again surprised to see another trail of petals painting a path for me. I followed obediently and found myself heading towards the back of the house. My curiosity was peaked, one because I hadn't been in the backyard yet, and two because I wanted to know what was going on.
There was a sliding door at the end of a room. I opened the door and continued to follow the petals. They lead me through fountains, across a lawn, and into a gorgeous garden full of flowers that I couldn't name. Lilies, tulips, roses, daffodils, and so much more. Tears gathered in my eyes before I even reached my destination.
The rose petals rounded a corner and as I did the same I was greeted by a table beautifully set for two. Behind it was a humongous water fountain with crystal clear water flowing gracefully from it.
I looked around but there was no sound of Edward anywhere. I slowly treaded up to the table and there was a note. I picked it up and read.
Turn around
And there he was dressed handsomely in a tuxedo. "Edward," I whispered uncertainly.
He smiled crookedly and danced to me, his steps were so fluid. When he reached me, his hand went to my waist. "Good morning love."
He kissed me lightly and pulled the chair out for me. I sat down and glance at him confused. "What's going on Edward?"
"Don't worry love. I must ask you, though, what do you think?" he motioned to the area around us.
"It's so beautiful. Words can't describe it Edward."
He laughed, "Well that was more than expected, but I'll take it."
I giggled and gazed up at him from under my eyelashes. Just as I was about to ask him again what was going on, a chef- complete with the paper hat- appeared. He sat a tray in front of me. "Your breakfast Miss. I hope everything is to your liking."
Speechless, I managed a small thank you. The chef nodded his acceptance and disappeared back down the walkway. I stared at Edward bewildered. He laughed at my expression. He lifted himself slightly from his seat and rose the lid from the tray. The delicious smell of French toast reached my nose. I looked down and there was a plate of French toast, croissants, and fruit- strawberries the most.
Edward lovingly fed me my breakfast which was by far the best I had ever had. To my surprise, during the meal, a group of three men arrived and played classical music throughout the meal. I loved it. I had decided that I would let Edward spoil me while we were on our honeymoon.
When I was finished eating, Edward stood up softly and offered me his hand.
I stared at it like an idiot. "Are you going to take it Bella?" he asked huskily.
"Why?"
He laughed, "To dance silly."
I glowered at him, "You know I don't dance Edward."
"I know, but I was hoping you'd make an exception," he smirked. He grabbed my hands gently and lifted me from my seat.
"Edward!" I whined.
He wrapped and arm around my waist and took my hand in his, "Just dance Bella. Please."
I sighed overdramatically, "Alright."
He chuckled. And so we danced to the music that played, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We danced for what seemed like hours, my head on his chest and his arms around me. God I love this man!
When we finally went back inside, I was in such a mood that all I could do was stare at Edward hungrily. He took in my look and smirked. He pulled me to him roughly, sealing his lips over mine aggressively. Edward kissed me to the point where I was jelly and he was supporting all my weight.
Warning: Lemon starts here
He had backed me into a room I hadn't seen before. I broke the heated kiss to look around. A fire was lit in a fire place against the farthest wall. In front of the fireplace was a bear skin rug. The walls were warm in color; a combination of red, green, gold, and several others. Over against the right wall was a small bar. There was a couch beside the rug, facing the left wall. Overall the room was arousing just by being in it.
"Edward," I moaned as I felt his hands travel up my ass and my back.
He chuckled and led me towards the rug. There he lay me down, himself on top. He kissed me deeply and I arched into him. His hands were everywhere on my body, turning me into molten lava, burning at his touch. One hand traveled up my dress to feel the dampness that had already formed on my panties.
Edward teased my nether lips over the cloth, leaving me breathless and wanting. I kissed him in earnest. His tongue battled a fight of passion with my own. I moaned loudly against his lips. His hands gently pushed my dress up and over my head leaving me in only my panties. The dress was too low to wear a bra with in the first place.
Edward cupped my breasts in his hands and began to knead them. My head was tossing from side to side, the softness of the bear fur cushioning my rough movement.
EDWARD'S POV
Bella's moaning had me instantly stiff in arousal. I kissed her with passion as my lust took over. Once I had her dress off, my needs for her were the only things that were present. The only rational thought was to not hurt her.
I pressed her into the bear skin rug, and kneaded her breasts in my hands. The softness and plumpness of her breast making me groan in want. I broke from her lips and trailed a line of kisses down her neck.
Unable to resist any further, I shed her of her panties and thrust two fingers into her warm sheath. She screamed my name making me blaze with passion. My fingers began to move within her as I sat up to watch my beautiful Bella writhe in pleasure; her legs spread apart, her juices coating my fingers, and her body gaining a light sheen of sweat.
"Edward please!" her voice begged.
I shook my head. This time I was going to prolong the pleasure. Instead of giving her what she wanted, I added another finger to her dripping canal. Now three fingers thrust steadily into her. I leaned forward over her and placed kisses all over her face, coming to stop at her lips, where I devoured her once again, careful of my teeth.
She moaned and arched into me. My arousal was painfully aware now as it pressed into her thigh.
I heard her pant out raggedly, "At least…take…off…your clothes."
I granted her that request. I shed my clothes in vampire speed and was back on her in three seconds. My fingers were still moving within her, but now I could feel her muscles beginning to tighten.
"Oh god Edward. I'm going…ah I'm coming!"
I continued to bring out her pleasure as she orgasmed. I removed my fingers from her throbbing canal and licked my fingers of her taste. The taste made me groan; it was even better than the finest wine.
I lowered myself to her lips and suckled her ripe bud. She moaned and threaded her fingers into my hair. Once I was sure I had all of her juices, I rose to her face. Gently I kissed her; sweetly.
"Are you alright my love?"
She replied in a breathless tone, "Better than fine."
I gazed at the angel that lies beneath me, and no longer could I resist.
I positioned myself at her entrance and gave her a questioning glance. She nodded once, and I thrust my awaiting member deep into her core. She screamed and I groaned. I sealed my lips over hers once again and began to thrust in and out.
"Edward!" she cried over and over. I groaned in response, unable to form words. The pleasure shot through me like bullets. I gazed at my wife's pleasure- filled face and moaned her name loudly.
"Bella!"
"Faster, harder. Please!"
I happily complied and began to thrust deeper and faster into her. The sound of flesh slapping flesh resounded throughout the room. Bella's cries became louder as she orgasmed for the second time that morning. I was close but not close enough.
My thrusts continued to become more aggressive and wild as I pounded into her body. Bella was moaning a screaming. Then she shouted the most arousing thing I had ever heard come from her lips.
"Oh God Edward just fuck me with your vampire speed!"
My eyes widened, and I let out a growl. "Are you sure?"
"YES!" she screamed.
I gradually picked up speed, and soon I was just a blur. My orgasm came and went as did another. By the time I was close to my third, I could no longer have my face buried in her shoulder. I lifted myself and repositioned to give myself more leverage.
I slammed into her; her cries the only thing reaching my ears now. Her please for more. I gave her what she wanted. When I orgasmed for the third time, she trembled beneath me. "Mmm Edward. I love the feeling of you cumming inside me."
I groaned. Bella being this sexy should be a crime. And where had she learned to speak like this? "God Bella. You're so amazing," I purred in her ear.
I slowed back down to wear we were moving gently against one another at a pace that Bella could keep up to. As I took in her appearance, I felt pride course through me. Her hair was disheveled, lips swollen, chest heaving.
I flipped us so that Bella was sitting on top of me now. Slowly we moved; my hands on her hips, pushing her down onto my member. She moaned as she rode me. She came seconds later, her seventh time since we had begun. I came shortly there after.
She collapsed on top of me completely exhausted. I moved to remove myself from her, but her voice stopped me. "No don't. Not yet. I love the feel of you inside me."
Her voice was slightly muffled and trembling against me chest. I could feel her blushing. As her breath slowed down to a normal human pace, she finally removed herself to lie down beside me.
She giggled, her hand coming up to stifle them. "What's so funny?" I asked.
"I was just thinking. We just had sex in the middle of a rug, in the middle of a room, on the floor, and to top it off, it was the best we've ever had. It just sounds so cliché don't you think?"
I laughed. She had a point. But enough of that for now. "Why don't you rest my love? I have a special evening planned for us, and I don't want you too exhausted to not enjoy it."
She nodded and cuddled up to my chest. Her breathing evened out and I gently separated from her to put my clothes back on. I lifted her up in my arms, careful not to wake her, and carried her up to the bedroom for her much needed rest.
FIVE HOURS LATER: TIME 4:30 P.M
BELLA'S POV
I woke up about five hours after Edward and I had had sex again earlier that morning. I was a little sore from it, but it was nothing a bath wouldn't fix. I jumped up from the bed, stubbing my toe in the process. I hopped around hopelessly waiting for the pain to subside.
Once my Bella Moment had passed, I picked up a robe and securely fastened it around me. I walked into the bathroom to find my bath already drawn and warmed to perfection. Damn. Whatever maids Edward had hired were fantastic.
After soaking for a while in the bathtub, I dried myself off, wrapped a towel in my hair, and put my robe back on. I opened the double doors back to the bedroom and nearly screamed.
There, standing in the middle of my room, were three women. "Who are you?" I demanded.
The lady on the right spoke first, "Sorry for giving you a fright my dear. We have been ordered to prepare you for this evening. I am Starla and am in charge of your makeup."
The one in the middle introduced herself, "My name is Marybeth. I am in charge of your hair. Pleasure to make your acquaintance."
The one to the left was last. She looked to be the youngest out of the group. "I am Joice. I am in charge of your facial, nails, and relaxation."
I gaped at them all. There was no way this was happening right. "Huh?" I replied, stupefied.
The ladies laughed. Joice came and put a hand on my shoulder. "We were first told to give you anything to make you relax, and I have the perfect solution."
"What is that?" I asked, afraid.
"A massage," she answered.
I pondered that for a moment. A massage really didn't sound so bad right now. I sighed, "Alright."
Joice smiled and ushered me to a massage table that was set up in the middle of the room. One I was comfortably on the table, the massage began. Immediately, I felt worlds more relaxed. Joice's fingers were expertise. My body was completely subdued.
After about a half hour massage, my makeover began. First came the makeup, then the mani- pedies. Once my nails were dry, the three ladies took me back into the bedroom. There lying at the end of my bed, was a beautiful evening gown. It was sparkling navy blue with trims of light blue flowing from the bottom making it look like waves danced across the lower half. The neckline was low, but not too low. The dress was a halter with a shawl that draped over the shoulders.
I was speechless, "Is that for me?"
Starla giggled, "Yes it is. Go ahead and put in on sugar. We still have your hair to do."
I put on the dress, and it fit perfectly. Also, it looked fantastic on me.
ONE HOUR LATER: TIME- 5:45 P.M
My preparations were now complete, and I was being led down the stairs to the front door. There stood a butler who politely opened the door for me. I was led down the driveway by the same butler, to another limo. This time it was white.
And there he stood. Dressed it evening wear. It wasn't a tux like this morning, but he still looked like a model. Edward smiled and took my gloved hand in his. Gently he kissed it. "You look stunning Bella."
"Thank you."
He helped me into the limo like the gentleman he was, and soon we were off to some location that I had no idea where it was. "Where are we going Edward?"
He smiled that crooked smile, "It's a surprise my love."
The limo ride was filled with loving kisses and caresses, and soon enough the limo driver announced we had arrived.
I stepped out of the limo and in front of me was a magnificent hotel. "Where are we Edward?" I asked breathless. This place was amazing.
Edward smiled and just led me inside. We were greeted by a man behind a podium. "May I help you sir?" his voice heavily British.
"Yes. I have a reservation for two," Edward responded.
"Name please."
"Cullen."
A few seconds passed by, and I finally caught a glimpse of the name of this place. The Wintergarden Restaurant.
"Ah yes here it is. Right this way sir," the man ushered us.
We followed, and he led us to a booth near one of the palm trees. I looked up and gasped at the beautiful atrium that I saw. Stunning so much that I could not describe it accept breathtaking. The atrium was completely made of glass.
As we were given our seats, I stared at Edward in awed silence.
"Bella are you alright?" he asked, worried.
It was then that I noticed the tears in my eyes. I forced myself not to cry as to not ruin my makeup. "I'm fine Edward, but this place is amazing!"
He smile and took my hand. "I'm glad you like it."
I knew that Edward wasn't going to order anything, but I skimmed the menu for something that looked appetizing.
The waiter came quickly and took our drink order. To my shock, Edward order me a glass of champagne. When it arrived, I knew that this was the same brand he had given me in the limo. I lightly sipped it until the waiter returned for our meal orders.
"What can I get for you ma'am?" his pin poised to write.
"Um…I guess I'll try the Loin of Lamb from 'Lighthorn'," I stated.
"Ah excellent choice Miss, and for you sir?"
"I'm just going to share with her if that's alright?"
"Of course sir," the waiter said and walked off.
Edward and I made small talk until the food arrived. When it did, my mouth watered. It smelt heavenly. As I took a bite of my meal, I savored the flavor. I even got Edward to try it! Of course his opinion was negative, but he's a vampire. What do you expect? Anyway, it was nice of him to try it on my part.
I finished my meal shortly, and Edward called for the check. I refused to look at the price. Edward paid the bill and left he waiter a generous tip. I took one last sip of my champagne and stood to leave.
We settled back into the limo, feeling a little tipsy from the champagne. "You alright love?" Edward asked as he took in my dazed look.
"I think I might have drank too much," I said.
Thankfully, my words weren't slurred, which meant I wasn't totally wasted yet. Edward chuckled and told me no more alcohol for the evening. I silently agreed.
At first I thought we were going back to the house, but that though quickly changed when Edward said I would love where he was taking me next.
We were in the limo for about fifteen minutes, and I asked Edward what time it was. "Just as seven o'clock."
I nodded. The limo came to a stop shortly, and Edward helped me out of the limo. I looked around me and didn't find anything interesting. "Edward where are we?"
I heard him laugh, "Turn around Bella."
I did and gasped. There stood the biggest Ferris wheel I had ever seen in my life. I gulped, slightly nervous at how high it was. Edward took my hand and led me across the street and to the entrance. The line was at least a half a mile long! "Edward that line is huge!" I whined.
He glanced at me, "And what makes you think we have to wait in it love?"
I stared at him. "Well duh! That's what normal people do, and I am so not dressed to be standing in line in two inch heals and a dress Edward!"
He laughed, "Since when have I ever been normal?"
I sighed and gave up. "I give up. Do whatever it is you were doing?"
He smiled and led me to a line that was near empty. There was a sign posted on the side of the gate. VIP RENTED COMPARTMENTS LINE HERE!
I gasped again. "Edward did you rent a compartment all to ourselves?"
He looked aghast, "Well I wasn't about to share one. Like I've told you Bella Cullen, I'm a selfish guy."
I shook my head. When we reached the front of the gate, the woman working the machinery asked for our name; of course. Once that was out of the way, Edward led me into the compartment which was actually very large.
I was very nervous as the wheel began to bring us up higher and higher. That nervousness quickly vanished to awe as we reached the highest peak. There the wheel stopped. "Edward this is amazing!" From up here you could see all of London for miles.
I turned to Edward, "What is this thing called?"
He gave me a loving look, "It's called the London Eye. It's the biggest Ferris wheel in the world. I couldn't stand letting you pass up a chance to ride in it."
I squealed happily and kissed him. He kissed me back just as eagerly. When we broke apart, Edward pulled out a picnic basket from no where. "What's that?"
He smiled and opened it. Then he pulled out, to my pleasant surprise, chocolate and…more champagne. I glared at him, "You really are trying to get me drunk."
He laughed. "My love I had no idea you would agree to the champagne at the restaurant. You can't blame me for that one."
"Yes I can. You ordered it."
He just smirked and held a chocolate to my lips. I sighed and bit into it. My second weakness- chocolate. I savored the sweet taste of the chocolate as I chewed. Once I swallowed, Edward kissed me on the lips. This continued for a while; Edward feeding me chocolate and kissing me between each bite.
Finally he poured me one small glass of champagne reassuring me that this was all he was going to give me. I drank it slowly. Once the glass was drained, we both cuddled up to each other to watch the sunset.
"It's so beautiful," I whispered. It truly was. The reds, oranges, pinks, and purples that illuminated the sky gave London a magical glow. I sighed in content and happiness as the last of the sun's rays fell upon the horizon.
This was truly a time to remember.
Yeah I did it. Woohoo. Ha! This chapter took some research. I found the restaurant on the internet. To anyone who is curious, the meal that Bella ordered consisted of Chestnut Mushrooms, Root Vegetable Hash, and Roasted Garlic sauce. And yes, this restaurant actually exists. I don't make up anything about London in this story except for the house. I chose this because Bella seems to like mushrooms and this was the only meal that had mushrooms in it. Well, I hope you Readers enjoyed this chapter. Review please!
Next chapter will be posted soon.
