I was having the most amazing dream where me and Edward were sitting in this beautiful meadow and we were laying just being together. This meadow with filled with beautiful flowers and the sun hit it making it seem like it was the only place that the sun had graced with its beauty. Me and Edward were lying in the flowers looking up at the sky. It was our meadow and nothing could come and ruin this dream. Edward leaned over and his lips were just about to touch mine….
"BELLA!" And I was being shaken and shouted at by my best friend "Bella, wake up would you Rose is going to be here in an hour to take us shopping!" I groaned
"Alice did you have to chose that exact moment to come wake me up" I moaned and sat up looking at her
"Well sorry to interrupt your dream of my brother but you need to get ready" Alice exclaimed
"How did you know I was dreaming of your brother?" I asked
"Bella we shared a room in college and if there's one thing I know about you is that you sleep talk" Alice smiled
"Oh God! What did I say?" I had always spoke in my sleep my mum had told me since I was young
"Nothing just something about flowers and Edward" Alice shrugged "Now get up you have 55 minutes till Rose arrives"
With that said Alice left me so I could get ready. I had been in England for 4 months now and had settled into the English way of life easily. I went to work from Monday to Friday. I'd meet Edward for lunch when he didn't have a meeting or if I wasn't having lunch with Angela. Me and Angela had become good friends as well as co workers. I'd made friends with some other people in my office. There was this one guy that I worked with called Mike Angela was sure he had a thing for me. I was starting to believe it too but I had Edward and that was fine. Alice would pick me up everyday after work to make sure I didn't over work. Then we'd either go to one of the guy's house for dinner or me and Alice would sit in and watch TV and chat. I had weekends off to relax which consisted of hanging out with Alice and my new best friend Rose. We'd fallen in such a casual friendship but Rose sort of completed me and Alice. She was the third amigo. On Sundays we'd all head over to Esme and Carlisle's for dinner. It really was all going well. My first article I had spent as much time to perfect went down a treat with my boss. I was thankful Mr. Banner was such a nice guy, he seemed to love everything I wrote for him and barley ever changed it.
As for me and Edward we'd been getting closer everyday. We'd moved out of the honeymoon stage and were just enjoying being with each other. I was constantly E-mailing home. Mum would go crazy if I didn't reply to her Emails. I called Charlie most days to see how things were with him. Being away from home was easier than I had thought it would. I mean I do miss Charlie and Renee but at the same time I was to busy to ponder on the fact I couldn't see them. I could now get round London easily.
Today I had agreed to go shopping with Rose and Alice before going round Edward's later to have dinner; which is why I had been so rudely awakened from my beautiful dream about Edward. I jumped into the shower quickly to help wake me up. I dried my hair and put on a pair of jeans with a green top. I picked up my mobile that was next to my bed and found I had a text message from Edward.
Good Morning Beautiful, Have fun shopping today with the girls, I'll see you tonight x
E x
I smiled at the text and sent him a quick reply:
What's good about being woken up by Alice when you were having the most wonderful dream? I can't wait for this shopping trip to be over so I can see you x
B x
It didn't take long for him to reply
And what was this wonderful dream about? I could always come and steal you x
E x
I laughed at it and sent the last text just before heading into the living room where Alice had breakfast ready for me.
You of course! And some beautiful flowers x I'll tell you about it later x I'd love for you to come whisk me away but I think Alice wouldn't ever forgive me x See you tonight x if I'm still alive! X

Once I'd finished eating Rose appeared and we headed out for what was bound to be a day that would break my bank. We were going to Oxford Street again. Alice being a fashion designer always criticized the others while me and Rose just laughed off her need to complain about everything. Alice insisted that we try on lots of clothes even ones we don't like. Soon we were messing around in the changing rooms coming out in ridiculous outfits. It was like a fashion show of unfashionable things. Alice kept taking photos of all of us in ridiculous clothes. Alice insisted that we brought some of the clothes she believed she could fix with her magic sewing machine and make them fashionable. Alice always use to do this in college. Make something hideous into the next fashion craze. It was what used as one of her final projects for college. She was a little genius when it came to clothes.
We stopped off at a restaurant for lunch where Alice continued to take photos of me and Rose doing stupid poses. Alice lately had been going crazy taking photos of everything and I had no clue why. Most of them included our days out together, sleepovers with Rose and even one of me and Angela standing at a computer trying to figure how to rephrase something and she'd appeared and snapped a picture of us. I didn't not to even bother asking her why she'd let me know soon enough. Edward called me while we were waiting for our meals to arrive.
Hey
Hello Beautiful, How's shopping with the girls?
It's going good, were just having lunch before we hit the shops again. What are you doing while I'm being tortured?
Me, Jasper and Emmet are just having a game of basket ball. I thought I'd call to make sure you were still alive?
Haha! Yeah I'm still breathing but I might not be after a few more hours of this.
Well you know if you need me to come save you I'm a text away.
You don't know how much I'd love to ditch out right now and just go back to bed.
So you can finish that fantastic dream about me?
Don't! Anyway why dream about you when I can have you for real?
Very true! Well I better go before Emmet insists I've gone soft!
Okay well I'll see you tonight
See you tonight
After we'd finished lunch we headed back to the shops to fine some dresses for a ball at the hospital fundraiser Carlisle had invited us to. Alice was insistent that we find horrible dresses so she can recreate them into amazing dresses. But of course we couldn't choose our own dresses. Going through all these dresses we picked out ones in colours that would suit us. In the end Alice brought all three dresses before me or Rose was even dressed again. Both me and Rose rolled our eyes.
We finally got back to the flat at 5 and I was about ready to head back to my bed and see if I could finish off that dream I was having before I was rudely interrupted. Alas I had to go to Edwards for dinner in just an hour. So I dragged myself off the sofa and headed to my room to sort out my hair because it was bothering me. Alice followed still full of energy after a day of shopping, I seriously had no clue how she did it. She pushed me to sit on my chair in front of my mirror and started to play with my hair. In the end she decided to straighten it. Once it was done she sent me on my way but before I left her she throw something at me. I looked down to see she'd thrown me a package. I looked at her confused.
"It's for Edward" she simply stated grabbing the house phone probably to call Jasper.
With that said I left the house and headed over to Edwards. I had walked to his house every Saturday night for the past couple of months so I knew how to get there easily. Normally I'd of left earlier but of course shopping with Alice had caused me to leave later than normal for his house and it was getting darker and a bit colder. I wrapped my coat around me to keep the heat in. The walk to Edwards was about 20 minutes but I enjoyed being out in the fresh air. Edward constantly told me he'd pick me up in his car but I refused and said it was really not problem for me to walk. I was just 10 minutes from Edwards flat and walking past a bar that was on the way. Next to the bar was an alleyway and I could hear cheering from the drunken men that were in it. I looked down to see what state they were in but it was a bad choice.
"Hey sweet thing fancy a good night!" He called after me. I didn't say anything and kept walking ignoring him hoping he'd get the clue. However I could see them walking behind me and before I even had a chance to think about running someone grabbed my arm. I turned sharply to look at the man who had grabbed my arm. "Its not very nice of you to ignore me. Didn't your daddy teach you any manners" The man sneered
"Yes and he also told me not to talk to strangers. Now let go of me" I demanded more confident than I was feeling.
"Oh look boys we have a feisty American here! This should be fun. We can show you around England" The man smirked at his friends and grabbed my other arm.
"Please let me go." I asked this time scared
"Don't worry darling your in safe hands. We'll give you a warm bed" He smiled at me
"Just let me go" I shouted at him pulling against him but he was too strong and started to pull me the other way.

It had been four months since Bella arrived in England and it had probably been four of the best months of my life. I was happier than ever with everything. I had a group of great friends and an amazing girlfriend. I'd spent the day with Emmet and Jasper playing basketball while Bella had gone shopping with my sister and Rose. Emmet insisted that we should have a guy day consider we all seemed to either be working or with our girlfriends. So I spent the day shooting hopes and talking about guy stuff. It was nice to have time with the guys to just muck about and have fun before we'd all return to our girlfriends where we'd all become sappy all over again.
I was glad that Bella seemed to fit in to England so well. In the past four months things seemed to just get better. Me and Bella had become almost inseparable other than when we had to work or like today she was dragged off with my sister. I was becoming a well known lawyer and had been getting a lot of cases to deal with that were bigger than my normal ones. This meant more money for me but it wasn't that that was the reason I did it. It felt more satisfying putting people away for crimes that meant something to people instead of sorting out divorces where a couple had destroyed there marriage by over working. I swore after all the divorces I'd seen I would never want to get a divorce it would be ten times easier and cheaper to just stay together.
Bella was coming over tonight for dinner but it wasn't really anything different than any other Saturday. She'd come over we'd either make something together or we'd order take away. I had a feeling after shopping with Alice today Bella wouldn't be in the mood to cook so I had the takeaway menus on the counter ready for us. I knew Bella was walking and I decided considering it was getting dark outside I'd walk halfway and meet her. So with that I grabbed my coat and keys and headed out down the way I knew Bella would walk. On my way out I'd called Alice to make sure Bella was on her way and she informed me that she'd left about 15 minutes ago. It concerned me that after walking for 10 minutes there was no sign of her. That's when I heard it.
"Just let me go"
It was Bella. I looked down the street to see a group of men had hold of her. I sprinted down the street towards them. I didn't care about the fact that there was more of them I just had to protect Bella.
"Hey let her go!" I shouted at them when I knew they could see and hear me
"Why don't you mind your own business. We are simply showing our new friend around." One man told me
"Let go of her right now or you'll regret it" I stated firmly
"Oh will I now and whys that?" The man who had Bella asked me smirking
I had no other option so I did what I'd been taught when in a situation like this. I hit him square in the nose. He fell to the floor clutching his now bleeding nose. I would guess that I'd broken it. The other guys stood there shocked at what had just happened. Bella got out of there grasp and came to stand behind me. I took her hand in mine from behind.
"That's why! Now if I ever see you lot again it won't just be a broken nose you'll be getting" With that said I put my arm around Bella and walked away back towards my flat.
We didn't talk all the way home. I think both of us were in shock from what had just happened. I was using the walk to calm down. I was about ready to go back and beat the hell out of that so called man. All the way back to the flat I kept a firm hold on Bella and she had her fingers gripping my shirt for dear life. I knew that she was terrified of what could have happened. When we got to my flat I pulled out my keys from my pocket and quickly opened the door. Once we were safely in the flat I looked Bella over. I could see tears running down her cheeks. I pulled her into my chest.
"Shh. Its okay your safe now" I calmed her
"I know that…it's…its just that…you…you…could have got….hurt" She stuttered looking up at me.
"Bella you're crying because I could have got hurt?" I asked completely confused. She nodded against my chest where she had buried her head. "Bella I'm fine and I would have thought all of them off to keep you safe. You mean to much to me to even comprehend what could of happen to me. I just saw you with them struggling and I didn't even care about the fact I could have been beaten up. As long as you were safe" I told her
"Well then you're stupid. You're mean to much to me and if you'd got hurt I would never have forgiven my self" She said a lot calmer now
"It wasn't your fault that they went after you but from now one I'm picking you up or Alice will drop you off got it" I demanded looking her in the eyes. She nodded and I hugged her again. I knew with being in my arms that she was safe. I run my hand through her hair and that's when I noticed my hand was bleeding. Apparently so did Bella.
"Edward your hand! O my God let me see it" Bella demanded taking my hand. I could move my fingers without to much pain so I was sure I hadn't broken anything. Emmet would be proud of me. Bella got a cloth from the kitchen and dabbed it getting rid of the blood.
"Bella its nothing just some grazed knuckles. Its fine really. Anyway I think the other guy come off worse." I smiled at her
"I don't care about that creep I care about you. Where the hell did you learn to punch like that anyway?" Bella questioned
"When you grow up with Emmet you learn how to throw a few punches" I laughed "But really I'm fine. It was worth it to keep you safe"
"Thank you for saving me back there" She smiled at me
"Hey, no thanks needed. I'll protect you from everything I can I promise Bella" I sighed hugging her.
"I know you're my own personal hero" She smiled at me
"So I'm guessing after shopping today you wouldn't feel like cooking and because if I cooked something on my own we'd either die of food poisoning or I'd burn down the flat I thought take away was in order tonight" I grinned at her getting back to normal.
"Aren't you so thoughtful" She grinned at me "So what do you feeling like Chinese India, pizza or kebab?"
"I'm feeling like being extremely unhealthy and ordering kebab with a lovely tube of ice cream" I smiled at her knowing she had a weak spot for her ice cream.
"I knew there was a reason I was going out with you" She joked picking up the menu.
"And I thought it was for my good looks and my charming personality but no your with me because of ice cream" I pretended to be hurt.
"There pluses but it's the ice cream really" Bella grinned at me. By now she was laying on my sofa looking at the menu.
"I know something that tastes even better than ice cream" I smirked down at her while leaning over the back of the sofa
"Oh yeah and what's that?" Bella raised an eyebrow
With that I leaned down and kissed her. She returned the kiss and wrapped her arms around my neck pulling me closer to her. Before I knew it I fell over the couch and land lightly on top of her. Making sure I wasn't putting to much weight on her we continued to kiss. This seemed to be happening a lot lately but I never took it to far. Emmet would call me crazy for not of gone further with Bella after 4 months of a relationship. Its not that I didn't want to do that with Bella. Oh god I wanted to do that with Bella. I knew I was in love with Bella and falling more and with her everyday I spent with her. Especially after tonight when I'd seen them creeps touching her. I knew without a doubt after that that I was in love with her, I wasn't scared to say I was in love with Bella. What scared me was the fact that in little over 8 months she'd be moving back to America and if things kept going the way they were I knew that I wouldn't want her to go. Also I had to tell her that I loved her I was just waiting for the perfect moment. We pulled apart to breath after a while.
"Your right I do prefer that but I ice cream comes in a close second." She grinned up at me.
"I have to agree. Now are you still hungry or would you like to skip dinner?" I smirked at her.
"How about dinner and then we continue this?" Bella suggested
"That sounds good but I'd rather continue this first and eat later" I said kissing her neck.
"Edward! If you keep doing that were not going to eat tonight" Bella moaned at me.
"Keep doing what?" I acted innocent sucking on her neck.
"Edward I swear if you leave a mark on my neck where people can see it I will kill you" She threatened me
"Fine I'll leave one where no one can see it unless your wearing a strap top and in this weather I doubt it" I grinned moving down to her shoulder.
"I hate you sometimes!" she exclaimed but moaned right after when I moved my lips back on to her neck.
"No you don't. You just hate the fact that I can affect you the way I do" I counter
"Oh really is that so?" Bella asked looking at me with a smile. With that she flipped us over so she was now on top of me. "Well Mr. Cullen do I not affect you?" Bella asked kissing down my neck while running her hands up and down my chest.
Oh boy she had no idea "More than you think" I replied closing my eyes loving the feel of her being so close to me. I knew that if she kept this up we'd never eat tonight. She continued to kiss my neck and then down the V that my shirt had. Everywhere she kissed felt like my skin was on fire but it was heaven. I pulled her back up me lightly so her lips were with mine again. I kissed her again. When we pulled apart I smiled at her putting a stray piece of hair behind her ear. Couldn't help but think how lucky I was to have Bella. "I suppose we better order that food."
"Yeah we can test out the theory that you taste better than ice cream for good" Bella smiled at me sitting up and grabbing the discarded menu and grabbing the house phone. The whole time she stayed sitting on me. I sat up so she was sitting on my lap backwards. She called and ordered what we wanted not forgetting the ice cream of course. When that was ordered we returned to our place her lying on top of me on the sofa and watched the TV. The food arrived 45 minutes later and Bella jumped off me and headed over to the door grabbing the money that was on the side ready. She thanked the man and headed back into the living room with the food. I headed into the kitchen and grabbed some drinks out of the fridge and some glasses. I came into the living room and Bella was sorting out the containers. I placed the drinks on the table and headed up the hall to my room to get changed before I ate. I changed out of the clothes I was in and into a pair of night trousers. I knew that Bella would end up staying tonight as it was already too late and I didn't want to her leaving not after all that happened. I picked up an old shirt from college and a pair of tracksuit bottoms that were too small for me and laid them on the bed for Bella when she decided to change.
When I got back into the living room Bella was sitting crossed legged on my sofa looking intently at the TV. I joined her on the sofa and picked up the food that was mine. We ate and watched TV. Both of us would comment on something that we thought was weird or not right. After we'd finishing eating Bella went to change while put in a DVD. Bella had insisted that she wanted to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Apparently Bella loved it because of the storyline. I was happy with it I mean I'm a guy if it had guns in it I was happy. When Bella came back she lay down next to me on the sofa and I pressed play on the film. Throughout the movie we laughed and made comments. About halfway through the movie Bella went and got the ice cream and two spoons. We mucked around eating it not really paying attention anymore to the film. We were testing out my theory from earlier and I enjoyed it a hell lot more than any film. At about midnight we headed to the bedroom. I jumped in next to Bella wrapping my arms around this beautiful girl that was mine. I started to hum the song that I had been composing for her. I knew that by next Sunday it would be done and ready for me to show her and tell her just how much I had fallen for her. With that I sighed and fell asleep with this Angel in my arms.
"Goodnight Love" I sighed before drifting off into a beautiful dream filled with Bella's beautiful face.
Woop! I am amazed it's the third chapter. Don't worry I think its time for some trouble in paradise! I already have a ton of ideas for the next few chapters.
To another point. As much as I am enjoying updating and writing this story I would actually love it if people would review chapters so I know that I'm doing alright and not complete mucking up. So please can you review it would make me smile. So yeah I'll try and update as soon as possible!
