Chapter 9

I may die one day, but it's because of you that I will live forever.

When I woke up, everything seemed like a dream. I lay on my bed for hours with my eyes closed, in order to remember that night. One of the best nights of my life. That sweet daydream was interrupted by who else, the adorable Alice.

"Goooooood morning, sleeping beauty" her voice sang near my ear. "We have to go shopping, geeeeeeeeeet up"

I opened my eyes. Everything was shinny, the day looked warm. I didn't want to disappoint Alice so I stood up.

"Just let me take a shower ok?"

"Fifteen minutes tops Lady!" she said and disappeared from my room.

I loved Alice, but early mornings for me were something I really couldn't take, especially when somebody was ordering me to get up and move fast. Only one person managed to wake me and never make me feel angry about it.

"You heard her, let's not be late" Edward giggled.

Yes that one person. I immediately smiled and jumped on him. I kissed him without caring if my breath smelled perfect, if my hair looked bad, I was just too happy he was there. To my surprise he kissed me back with the same enthusiasm.

"Good morning" I managed to say between our kissing.

"Good morning, love" he said with his velvet voice. "Hurry now, you only have fifteen minutes" he winked at me.

"Do you want to come in with me?" I said with a naughty voice.

"Hm I don't think it will go well with my wings" he giggled" Now go!"

"Alright you lose" I winked at him and left to shower.

Nothing made me happier than the fact that he was here. I finished showering quickly and went out with my towel on. He was still there lying on my bed.

"Ohh that was quick" he commented.

"Oh really? I didn't notice" I teased him. I approached the bed "so now you will help me get ready" I took my towel off. And at that time Alice came through the door, without knocking of course.

"Oh Bella I am sorry, I didn't know you were naked" she covered her eyes with her hand.

"Yeah maybe knocking would be a good thing next time" I said under my breathe. Edward was laughing, and since he was laughing I understood that Alice not only couldn't see him but hear him also.

"I am so sorry, I just wanted to tell you that you have only 5 minutes" she giggled.

"Thank you Alice, now you can go" I tried to giggle, but all I wanted to do was cry. She ruined the moment and my chance.

"Ok see ya in five" she left.

I looked at Edward with a sad face and started searching for something to wear.

"Hey don't be sad" he came behind me and hugged me.

"I am not sad, I am more like pathetic. Just let me dress before she comes in again." I pushed his hands gently away from me, which broke my heart in thousand little pieces. He lay on the bed again. I wore a simple jean and my favourite old blouse and was ready to go shopping.

We walked out of the room and down the stairs. Alice was already waiting with Rosalie.

"Finally!" Alice said.

"Hey girls" I tried so hard to smile that it looked more like I was in pain so it looked more like a grimace.

"Let's go" Rosalie said with a cold voice and walked off the house. She was exactly the last person I wanted to hang out with and even less to go shopping with.

Alice grabbed my hand and pushed me to go out.

"Rosalie is anxious about the wedding, Bella, so don't feel bad about what she does. I mean c'mon she is getting married in two days and we don't even have a wedding dress yet!" Alice said with a serious tone. I couldn't care less about Rosalie's marriage or her wedding or anything.

"Bella love, cheer up. We are going out to have fun." I head Edward's voice coming from behind me. All I wanted to do was to grab his hand and disappear. I just loved Alice too much to do that to her.

Suddenly Alice stopped, while Rosalie waited in the car.

"Bella, I know this is hard for you. Now that Edward is gone. I know you may want to strangle me, I mean I saw your face upstairs. I just believe it's not the time, to leave you and cry and just slowly die. I know this is hard. But life goes on, even if it's hard. I am sad too, more than I show, more than you know, but what I know and I am hundred percent sure about, is that Edward would want us to be happy now Bella. To not lose ourselves. Most of all he would never ever want you to be sad and broken forever."

Tears started coming down my face. I hugged her so tight, to comfort us both.

"Give me a second ok?" I told her with a shivering voice.

"Alright" she smiled.

I nodded at Edward and he followed me. We went inside the house. I fell in his arms. We stayed there for five minutes, not saying anything.

"I love you" I said to him. And went out of the house.

"Kay girls let's do some shopping" I put a huge grin on my face and slipped inside the car.
