Chapter 19: Surprise

BELLAS POV

I woke up and the sun was shinning through my window. I let out a low yawn, and sighed. I pushed my self up hoping the last night was just a dream. I saw Edward passing across my room. He was on the phone with some one. He seemed agitated. I watched him closely as he passed back and forth not even realizing I was awake.

He slammed the phone shut and sighed.

"Oh, Bella. I'm sorry. Are you ready for today?"

"What was that about?"

"What was what about?"

"Edward."

"Bella."

"Tell me, no secrets!" I reminded him.

"Ok." He sighed before continuing. "That was Alice. It seems Victoria is impatient." He must have seen the fear in my eyes. He was next to me in a second with his arm around me. "Bella, its nothing like that. We still have a week."

"She made it sooner?"

He nodded "By two days." he sighed. "Things are ahead of schedule."

"What things?"

"She's planning an attack. She doesn't know we know about it before hand. She's also teaching the eight other vampires about werewolves. Most don't know much about them." He didn't look at me. Werewolves. They were going to be experts on werewolves.

"Jacob!" I exclaimed suddenly. "They are going to know exactly how to take the entire pack out!"

"Bella, it will be ok. Were going to tell the pack how to fight against vampires, they wont really need our help, that's what they were made for. Destroying us, its all they know."

"But…" I tried to object but he wouldn't let me.

"Bella don't. not today. Please just let this be about your surprise. About us, me and you. Nothing else. Please." I wanted that, but I couldn't just ignore the twinge of guilt I felt in the pit of my stomach. Some one could die. One of the people I cared about could be taken from me, and it would all be my fault. It would be on my shoulders. Could I live with myself if one of the pack died? If Sam, Embry, Quil, I shuddered at the last, Jacob. It wasn't even just the pack, the Cullen's would be in the fight to, against a vicious vampire killer. I looked up at Edward, he was still waiting for my response. Waiting for me to tell him nothing but us.

"Nothing else matters." I lied. I'm pretty sure he saw right through it. But he said nothing. "Where's Charlie?"

"Fishing with Billy. Jacobs dad is doing his job, he is keeping Charlie none the wiser."

"What are we going to do when they plan to attack?"

"We are going to get you as far away as possible." I was stunned I looked at him, shock written all over my face. He wanted to get rid of me. There was no way I was going anywhere when everything and everyone I care about was going to be in serious danger. No way!

"I don't think so!" I said forcefully

"What? Bella, you don't actually think I would let you stay here? Bella, not that it's going to happen, but just in case. I am not letting her get to you. Billy will already have Charlie safe and sound. I will not let them get through but if one slips by, you will not be waiting for them."

"Edward! I am not staying in hiding."

"Bella. Please be reasonable."

"Edward this isn't fair!"

"We can decide what to do and what's fair when we meet the wolves tonight in the clearing."

"Fine!" I sighed and got up to get dressed.

I grabbed my clothes for the day and headed for the door.

"Where do you think your going?" Edward asked innocently

"What do you mean?" I was skeptical. He had a mischievous look in his eye. It mad me nervous. I smiled weakly trying to cover it.

"Nothing." His face suddenly blank.

"Fine." I rolled my eyes "I'll be back, I'm going to jump in the shower real quick." He nodded and smiled. I turned toward the door, and decided against it. I turned full force and ran and leaped into Edwards lap. I kissed him patiently, tracing his arm with my finger tips. Hm he wanted to tease me with stupid nonsense questions, I could tease him. In a completely different way, but still the same. I laughed as I pulled away gently. He smiled his crooked smile at me. God how I loved that smile.

"Shower time. I'll be back." I stated. I grinned and started toward the door.

His face dropped, his lips turned into a pout. It made me laugh even more.

"I can tease just as easily as you can. Only I can do it better." I walked out shutting the door behind me.

EDWARDS POV

She had a point, she could tease me like no other. How I wanted to pull her back onto my lap, and never let her go. Thoughts crept into my head. She was in the shower. I pushed the thoughts out of my head again. I had made a mistake, I had almost slipped up. I wouldn't allow myself to do that again.

She was almost asking for it, asking me to give in. No, I couldn't, it went fine the first time, but who's to say I have that self control for a second time? I couldn't risk it. Could I? No, that was crazy. I would not risk Bella's life. But we had done it before, everything was fine. She had not been hurt. My self control diminished on some things, but remained strong for others. I sat there debating for what felt like hours. Even though I knew it only to be a few minutes. I had my answer. I knew what I was willing to risk, and what I was willing to do. But would Bella approve?

BELLAS POV

I stood in the bathroom looking in the mirror. I was nothing special, so why did all this crap always happen to me? Danger magnet that's what I was called. But this danger was different, it wasn't danger for me. It was danger for everyone I cared about. Everyone I loved was in danger. In danger because of me. I could do nothing to stop it. If I tried Alice would see and send someone to stop me. Then they would all be mad. Trust them, they say. How can I trust them, they don't know what's going to happen. Not even Alice could tell the future, werewolves were involved. It made her visions useless. She didn't see what was going to happen if they were around. They aren't around Victoria right now, but that could change. We were flying blind, no matter what anyone else wanted to say, we were blind. We were in trouble. Victoria wanted blood, her werewolves, and probably even the vampires were strong, strong and lethal. The numbers were on our side. They were out numbered. I just hoped that would be enough. Enough to get us through this, enough to get everyone through this, unharmed.

I sighed and unwrapped the towel from my body. I opened the curtain, and turned on the water. I was only in the shower for a few minutes and the steam already filled the bathroom. I soaked the warmth in. I let the water hit my back, as I thought on what tonight might be like. What would happen. Sam and Carlisle had agreed to help each other. Show each other the other there weakness. Pure enemies, now allied because of Victoria and her lethal friends. I hoped this common ground, and understanding between the Cullen's and the pack would continue even after Victoria, but I knew that was wishful thinking. Edward had said pure enemies, and that was a strong thing to get around.

I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the wall.

I heard someone cough. I lifted my head abruptly to see Edward poke his head around the curtain. I jumped and wrapped my arms around myself.

"What's wrong?" he laughed. He could be so annoying. What's wrong, that's funny I'm in the shower and he comes waltzing into the bathroom like its nothing.

"I don't know. I'm in the shower maybe!" I blurted. He laughed again.

"Your point being?" He grinned, as he stepped inside the shower, and closed the curtains.

I let out a low gasp, as I saw his bare body glisten from the water. He was this magnificent, beautiful creature standing before me, and there I was plain and ordinary holding my arms around myself trying to hide what ever I could. How do I compare to him. He was beautiful, god like, and then there was me. Plain, ordinary, un attractive.

"Bella." he whispered as he stepped closer to me, grabbing my hands in his and pulling them away from my body. "What are you doing?"

I gulped. "What, what do you mean?" I stuttered, I was nervous. This was defiantly something he didn't allow, but then again. I guess all those rules went out the window with my virginity, and his.

"Don't hide yourself, your beautiful."

"I don't know about that." I said coolly. He just grinned and brought my hand up to his lips. He slowly traced his perfect hard, cold lips up my arm, around my shoulder. He stopped at my neck, he began to nibble gently. I tried to suppress a low moan. His lips felt amazing, against my skin. I heard him pull in a raged breath. I started kissing along his jaw line, just as he had done to me so many times before. I felt his hand tighten on my arm slightly and smiled.

He pulled me closer to him and brought his lip to mine. It was a deep and passionate kiss, similar to the ones we had shared the other night when we finally made love for the first time. He was still being careful, but not nearly as careful as before. I felt him push his tongue into my mouth and I parted my lips more for him. He kissed me more forcefully. It slightly reminded me of a kiss so long ago. When it felt like we didn't have much time left. I pushed that thought from my mind. I knew I should have been worried about that, but for some reason I just didn't care. He ran his tongue across my teeth and explored the inside of my mouth. Finally, he pulled back and began to kiss my jaw line and neck, teasing me like I had him. Then worked his way across my shoulders and down my arms and back up again. He made his way back up to my lips and kissed me again, while staring into my eyes. I saw nothing but love, passion, and desire in his beautiful topaz eyes. I blinked away the water that had ran over my face and eyes.

He slowly wrapped his hands around my face and tilted my head up so he could have better access to my neck. He slowly let his hands fall to my shoulders. He began to run his fingers up and down my arms tracing his lips down my neck to my chest. He paused slightly, and began to kiss the top of my breast. His hands slowly made there way to my side and down to my waist.

He wrapped his hands around my waist and hoisted me up with no effort. I took in a low gasp at his sudden movement, but then wrapped my legs around his waist as he gently pushed my back against the wall. He had his one hand around my thigh holding me up. His other hand around my cheek. I ran my hands along his chest, taking in his perfect god like form.

"MM you look amazing." he whispered as he kissed my neck again. I laughed I was wet and in a shower, I probably looked like a drown rat.

"If you say so, you are the amazing one." I lightly pulled me away from the wall, holding my entire weight. Both his hands were on my thigh and butt. He slowly lifted his one hand, and gently traced up my back.

He pulled away from kissing my neck and stared into my eyes, before smiling at me and kissing me again. He maneuvered me down, allowing himself better access. He leaned my back up against the wall of the shower again and slowly entered inside of me. He stared into my eyes the entire time, looking for any sign of pain or hesitance. I showed none, I wanted this, more than, almost, anything.

We continued to kiss passionately, with Edward constantly rubbing his tongue around the inside of my mouth. As the lust built up, I started to move my hips so that he knew I was ready. I heard him moan. I moved my hips a little more forceful, and I heard his gently purr. He pulled away and looked into my eyes.

"You feel amazing, Bella. I love you so much. You are all I want and need. For forever." He told me, as he continued to stare into my eyes and thrust a little faster. I knew he was using an extreme amount of self control, but as long as he was willing to keep trying I wouldn't complain. He slowed, letting the pleasure build over a longer period of time. It felt amazing, though, and I could tell how great it felt for him too. The hot water of the shower only heightened our senses, and eventually I felt the final surge of pleasure run through both our bodies. Gasping for air, I pulled myself as tight to him as I could. He continued to kiss my neck, running his tongue and lips all over it.

I hugged myself to him, pulling my back away from the wall. I knew he would be able to support my weight. I stayed in his arms for a while longer, waiting for my racing heartbeat to slow down. As he finally pulled himself out of me, we both moaned slightly simultaneously.

I finally was able to stand, and slid out of his arms. I turned off the water and we got out of the shower and dried off. Edward picked me up, wrapped in the towel, and walked out of the bathroom into the hall toward my room. He placed me gently on my bed.

"Mm that was, that was an amazing surprise." I stated with a grin. I knew that wasn't the surprise he had intended but It was a surprise just he same.

"Silly beautiful, Bella. Your surprise hasn't even came yet. You have a long great day ahead of you."

"I get no hint at all?"

"None, but I will agree, that, was, an unexpected but welcomed surprise." He smiled and kissed my neck gently. "We should however get dressed and ready."

I groaned I didn't want to move. But slowly I got to my feet again and walked over to get my clothes. I walked toward the door, and Edward was in front of me in a second blocking my path.

"Where do you think your going?" he asked, still wrapped in a towel. His chest and abs still glistening and bare. I smirked.

"To change."

"Bella, my love. Why must you leave the room to do so?"

"I, uh." Was all I could get out.

"I have seen your beautiful bare body before. I mean we are both in towels after having a nice hot shower." He grinned.

"I guess you have a point. I said as I put my clothes on top of my dresser. I turned back around to look at him. I smirked, as I leaned toward him and kissed his lips gently. I slowly moved my hands to his waist, and grabbed the corner of the towel in my hand and yanked it off. He pulled away abruptly, as I smirked again.

The next second he was sitting on my bed with the blanket over top of him.

"That was, not fair Bella."

"Fair, I think it was completely fair." I said as I ran and hopped onto the bed beside him.

"Bella, we should get dressed, I don't think my self control, could handle a second round." He smiled his crooked smile. I just rolled my eyes and kissed him lightly as I stood up and got dressed.

We drove in silence, after I had continually asked Edward about my surprise he decided after he answered and I repeated myself he ignored me. I sat in the passenger side of his Volvo and pouted.

"Bella, stop pouting, you know I want to surprise you, so stop asking. Please, don't make me ruin this for you."

"Humph fine." he grabbed my hand in his and kissed it gently. He finally pulled his car off to the side of the road.

"Where are we?"

"Somewhere. Close you eyes." he said as he opened my door and helped me out.

"But, where are we?"

"Uh Bella, the hard way it is." he grabbed me around my waist with one arm, and slowly slid a blindfold over my eyes.

"Edward!" I screeched.

"Bella, nothing will happen to you." He promised, and next thing I knew he had me wrapped in his arms the air was rushing through my hair. He was running, top speed.

We finally came to a stop. He gently placed me on my feet.

I pulled the blindfold of my face and smiled at him.

"Where are we?" I asked again as I looked around. We were in the woods. But it didn't look familiar, then again, if I had been here before I doubt id remember, trees all looked the same to me.

"You'll see." He grabbed my hand and lead me through the trees.

We emerged after a few minutes into the most beautiful place I had ever seen.

Our meadow. There was a a table with two chairs directly in the center, and a big comfy blanket next to it., with a basket. Flowers were surrounding the blanket. There was a big bouquet of roses laying in the center of the blanket. We finally reached the blanket and Edward scooped me up into his arms and placed me gently on one of the chairs. He grabbed the basket, and placed it next to the table.

"Edward, what is all this? How did you?"

"I had a little help." He smirked.

"Alice?"

"Of course. She always out does her self." He grinned.

"Yes, she does. But what is all this for?"

"Do I have to have a reason?"

"It's you, there's always a reason for everything you do."

"True, but almost always the reasons the same. I love you."

I smiled at him, as he opened the basket and pulled out a bowl of strawberries.

He pulled one out hand put it up to my mouth. I took a bite, and smiled, as I picked one up and brought it to his mouth. We both laughed at the gesture.

"I wish I could taste them." He said coolly.

"What else do you have in your basket full of goodies?" I beamed.

"Patience my love."

He slowly pulled out a small chocolate cake. I looked at him skeptical. Why would he pack all this food. When he cant eat any.

"What's that for?" I smiled weakly.

"I made it myself." my face brightened.

"You made it? You made me a cake?" I smiled from ear to ear as I leaned toward him and kissed him gently. "What's the occasion?"

"I love you, isn't that occasion enough?"

"I suppose so." he cut me a piece of the cake, and placed it on plate as he handed it to me.

It tasted amazing. He was good at everything.

"Is there anything you don't excel at?" he just laughed.

"I guess we'll find out." He smiled, but he looked nervous. The smile didn't meet his eyes. "Bella, there was an ulterior motive to me bringing you here."

"What?" I asked hesitantly.

"You have already agreed to marry me."

"Yes, of course." I didn't know where this was going.

"Well, what if we made it more, more permanent." he smiled, that time it met his eyes.

"What do you mean more permanent? Can it get more permanent?" I laughed.

"Yes, but I don't know how much your going to like it."

"Edward, tell me." He smiled that crooked smile that made me weak.

He slowly stood up from his chair and came over to me. He smiled down at me. I looked at him confused.. He grabbed my hands and pulled me up and kissed me gently. He bent down and pulled out a CD player from the basket and placed it on the table. He pushed some buttons and then I slightly heard my lullaby start to play. I smiled brightly at him.

I was beginning to get nervous, and then he did something I didn't think id ever see, at least not this soon in my life.

He bent down and kneeled on one knee. My face dropped. Was he serious? No we, were to young. I, oh my god. Was all I could think.

"Bella, you know how much I care about you, and how much I want to spend forever, eternity with you. I promise I will change you, and we can be together for forever. I love you with all of my being. You are the reason for my existence. Isabella, I always thought I was complete, and that I didn't need anything else. Or anyone else. But then I met you, and you turned everything upside down. Literally. I was always saving you, protecting you, and I think deep down I always knew why, even though I didn't want to admit it. I was completely in love with you from the first time I smelt you in class. I almost killed you but I resisted, and then suddenly, I hated to be away from you, but it was also hard to be with you. I love you, and I will always love you. I promise to be there for you, no matter what. I promise to only leave your side when absolutely required and necessary. I promise to give you everything you want, everything I can give you. I love you Bella. And I want to do this right, I want to do things with you as right as they can be…" He saw the tears start to fall slowly down my face and reached over to wipe them away for me. "So.." he said as he slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out a little black box. I was shocked. He couldn't be serious. We were way to young, we were still in school, he couldn't be serious, I know he asked me to marry him and I agreed but this, this was to much. My mouth opened. "Bella Marie Swan. Be with me for forever, for eternity. Marry me."
