A/N You guys are awesome :-* Love your reviews, they really are the highlight of my day.
Rescued.
Chapter 13.
"Eddie and B sitting in a twee K I eff eff I N G." Pumpkin sang from the back seat as Edward drove us towards Pot yand, I mean Portland.
"Don't you know any other songs?" Edward practically begged.
"I yike dis one." she sang.
"I think I preferred it when you weren't talking, now you won't shut up." he murmured. But he was smiling so I knew he didn't mean a word of it.
"Sing something else please Pumpkin?" he begged, using my nickname for her.
"Ed, Edd and Eddie sitting in a twee, K I eff eff I N G." she sang instead.
"Who on earth let you watch Ed, Edd and Eddie?" I asked appalled.
"I watch wid unca Emmie." she announced.
"I think we need to monitor her TV watching from now on." I suggested.
Once we made it to Portland we started with the wedding shops but nothing actually fit Pumpkin so we then started on the expensive children clothes stores, and after what felt like hours we finally found a dress she loved.
I was really quite surprised that Pumpkin chose it to be honest, it was a beautiful Chinese Qipaodress, it was probably the only dress I'd seen today that I loved her in, I sent a picture of her in it to Alice so that Jessica could give her opinion, and once Jessica was assured that Edward loved it, it got the bridezilla seal of approval.
"Your turn." Edward said turning to me and he smirked when I grimaced at the idea, but I was grateful when the first store we went into I found a dress I actually liked, it was a white halter-neck, gathered under the bust then layered silk with pink petals falling getting progressively thicker and darker. It fell to just below the knee, I found a pair of white peep toe stiletto's that I could live with too, with a matching clutch.
"Definitely like you in this." Edward said, stroking his hand over my bare back. "Would like to get you out of it even more." he whispered. I'll need new underwear after that, just a touch and a few words and I think my panties evaporated. What was he doing to me? Maybe it was all the small touches he'd been giving me all day. His hands on my hips as he walked passed me in the tight isles of the stores, or on my back allowing me to walk ahead of him as he held doors open. Much more and I'd need a shower, a very cold shower. "Do we need anything else?" he asked.
"I will need to get something to wear under this." I said indicating the dress.
"Oh I don't know, I kind of like the idea of you not wearing panties." he whispered with a smirk. Oh good god, why was he talking to me like that in here, he was so close, and Pumpkin was distracted, and it wouldn't take me long to throw him down on the floor and... Concentrate for goodness sake, just get through this shopping trip that's all I had to do. What I did with him later after he'd worked me up all day was something that needed careful consideration.
"Oh really?" I asked, still smirking he nodded. "So you would be happy to have me walking around the likes of Mike Newton and his friends, with nothing on under my dress?" I asked and his smirk disappeared.
"Hmmm no I wouldn't like that at all." he admitted.
"Then I will need to go to Victoria Secret." I told him and his eyes lit up.
"I can help you pick something out." he offered.
"I don't think so, you will have to take Pumpkin into the toyshop whilst I'm in there." I said, his face dropped. "But I could always get something extra special, I could model for you later." I suggested and his mouth fell open. "Unless you don't want me too." I continued when he didn't speak.
"No... god no, I mean yes... yes I want that." he said, licking his lips. "Can? can I give you some money for something special?" he asked me.
"Oh no, I think this should be your birthday gift from me." I suggested, suddenly feeling brave.
"And do I get to unwrap you for my birthday?" he asked, his face full of hope. I kissed his jaw then whispered.
"I think that could be a distinct possibility." I said then went to change out of the dress.
Edward insisted on paying for the dress, his argument being that, then I wouldn't be quite so upset with him if it gets damaged in his haste to peel me out of it. Damn him I was definitely in need of clean underwear now. I left Pumpkin with Edward and headed through the mall to the Victoria secret, I spent at least forty minutes in there. I even eyed the new rampant rabbit with remote, I was sorely tempted to get it, but then I thought about Edward, and I knew which one I wanted more. I found a rather nice strip of black silk that professed to be underwear that I thought Edward would like, I got some breast tape for the halter-neck and a few matching sets of underwear, one of which I changed into before leaving.
I text Edward to find out where he was and found him and Pumpkin playing on a children's computer in the toy shop not far from where I'd been, he passed be my bags from the dress shop, but there were far two many here.
"What's all this?" I asked.
"I bought you a little extra." he said.
"What for?"
"You will need a dress for the rehearsal dinner, no arguments, you are going its all arranged. Alice had the seating changed for me when she found out that I was to be sat next to Lauren, but now I will be sitting between you and Nessie." he said grinning.
I rolled my eyes at him, "I take it for granted that my so called family will be at this dinner." I said.
"Yes, but they will be at the other end of the dining room Bella, I will not leave you side all night." he promised, and I did feel a little better knowing that. Then he scowled, "However, Rose will be at the same table as us, they are round tables so unfortunately there will be no escaping her, but Emmett and Alice have assured me that she will be on her best behaviour, though for Rose that's not saying much, even at her best she's not very nice." he said.
Edward was studying my face, "What's wrong Bella?" he asked as we sat and ate lunch at McDonalds.
"What if Rose does say something?" I asked, I didn't know how to explain what I was thinking, or even if I was ready to have the answer. "I mean, what if she says something and makes you think I was a mistake?"
"She can't say anything that would make me think that, because you and I could never be considered a mistake, we are good together Bella, and the sooner you realise that the better." he said, leaning over to kiss me and stealing some of my fry's. "And if she does say anything, then I'll just tell her to keep her surgically altered nose out of my business." he said.
"From what you've said, I can't see that stopping her." I said ever the sceptic.
"If it becomes a problem we will leave, but I will go out of my way to have a great evening with my girlfriend and my niece." he said, it was nice to hear, but I really didn't think it was going to turn out well.
A/N So what do you think Bella has planned for Edward? How will they celebrate his birthday?
