Chapter 16 : (Bella's POV)
I pulled into the long drive and was shocked when the silver Volvo flew by, passing me in a blur. I crept up the winding drive up to the house at a sane pace, and pulled up behind the Volvo. I glared at the smiling god leaning against the car in front of me.
"What was that for?"
He laughed "Did you know that this car does in fact reach speeds over fifty miles-per-hour?"
"Did you know that's not quite legal?"
He laughed again, "Okay, truce…"he said holding out his hand in front of me.
"What now?"
"Your keys?"
"Why?" I pouted my lip jutting out, as I clutched the keys to my chest.
"It's a wedding present, you're not supposed to get it until after the wedding!"
I frowned and slowly handed the keys over.
"No backing out now," he said grinning.
I grinned back just as evilly, "Same goes for you." He took my hand and we walked into the white mansion. I looked up to see Edward, had a frown on his face, I opened my mouth to ask him when Alice interrupted me.
"Bella!" she screamed.
"Alice!" I yelled back nowhere near as enthusiastic.
"Your car is gorgeous! Let's drive it to the mall!" she was bouncing up and down.
The bouncing slowed as I spoke, a frown growing on her perky face. "We can't, I'm not allowed to have my car yet." I said frowning up at Edward who continued to grin.
"No!" Alice pouted even better then I could. She argued with Edward mentally for a few seconds until Alice sighed. I really hope that I could read minds when I become a vampire, I was really getting tired of being left out all the time.
"Come on, Bella we are still going shopping!" her usual happiness returning.
"Did you happen to be on a coffee high when you were changed?" I mumbled as she dragged me back out the way I'd came.
She laughed as we got into her Porsche, "You are so sarcastic, Bella, all the time. Be happy."
"I'm only sarcastic because you are the one always dragging me away from Edward."
"Oh deal with it," she rolled her eyes, "You two are practically joined at the hip."
It was silent in the car for a few minutes until I spoke again. The happiness that was almost constant now returned, I think Edward had the same thing, a sort of "happiness-high" about getting married. "So what are we looking for today?"
"You need and outfit for you bacholorettes party duh!"
Shopping passed in a blur, and I wasn't really conscious of what Alice was forcing me to try on. I was dreaming about my new car when something hit me. Edward had gotten me a wedding present. I hadn't bought anything for him. "Alice!" I yelled. My voice was much to loud for the public scene especially considering she was two feet away from me. She whipped around to face me concerned.
This time my voice was quiet as I spoke, "I haven't bought Edward anything, for the wedding!"
Alice remained calm. "Okay, do you have any ideas?"
"Not really…" I said thinking hard, what could reciprocate for a car? And even more importantly was in my miniscule budget.
Alice lead me to a bench off to the wide of the crowded main walkway. I sat down next to her. "Let's just think," she said.
"He already has everything!" I moaned. My breath caught, maybe I couldn't afford to buy him a car, but memories were priceless right?
"That's perfect!" Alice squealed, "He'll love it!"
