The next few days went by fast as the week. Christmas was spent at the Cullens. Esme and Carlisle invited us over for dinner. We exchanged presents. Alice and Rose of course got me clothes. Even though I told them not to they didnt listen.

Edward got me a silver locket. It had two pictures of us. The one day at the artic ice area when they made a surprise visit she took a picture of us. Then just a random picture. It was in the shape of a heart. I wore it everyday.

We had break but it was over before we knew it. Junior year was coming to a close and I was looking forward to summer.

When Edward and I first walked into the school after break. People stared. But alot said they were not surprised. Tanya was royaly pissed. I think she is jealous but hey her loss. It's been five months of greatness

It was the begining of May. Almost the end of the year. Then senior year. Edward and I didnt talk much about college much. It hurt to talk about being apart.

Charlie knew about us dating. We told him the twenty third of December. Three days after officialy being together.

My mom laid off for a few months. After awhile of me ignoring her she called and apologized to me. I forgave her. She just thought it was stupid to stay for a boy. But I was staying for Charlie too. It wasnt just about me. So we were okay. She actually settled down in Chicago. I got my clothes back. I was so happy. I had all my sweat pants. So sacred. Alice hasnt found my stach yet.

Currently I am laying in my bed on a Saturday reading a book. Some light allminating from the small lap next to me.

I heard a noise outside my window. Edward.

Yes. He came to find it was easy to climb my tree and get into my room. So weird. But my dad never found out...Yet. If he did, Edward would get shot.

He came through the window and walked over to me.

" How are you?" I asked

" I'm great. How about you?"

I sighed " Good."

He sat on the end of my bed and I scooted next to him so we were side to side. I turned to him and looked at him. He was looking at me also. He leaned down and kissed me. I kissed him back eagerly. He moved his body so he was off the bed and in front of me. We continued to kiss and I moved my body slowly up and put my arms around his neck. I put my hands in his hair and kneeled on my bed. His hands went to hips. He slightly picked me up and pushed me back on my bed. My head hit the pillow and he kissed me roughly. He suddenly pulled away and moved back.

" Do you like testing my control?" He asked

" I am not going to say sorry Edward." I stated. He came closer and looked me in the eyes.

" Bella."

I leaned closer and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

" Yes?"

He sighed and continued to look at me.

" I...I...I " He trailed off " Bella. I-I love you."

What!?!

Love. Me.

He loves me. He loves me. Edward Cullen said he loves me.

But do I love him. My mind questioned. Well of course you do...

He continued to look at me. He wanted and answer.

" I love you too Edward." I told him. He smiled and kissed me.

" Say it again." He whispereed huskily against my lips.

" I love you." I rasped.

He kissed me again " Say it again."

" I love you." I repeated.

I kissed him softly for a moment and then pulled away. I pushed him back on my bed and laid next to him. I draped my arm over his stomach and he put his arm around my neck and brought me closer.

Love.

Next few weeks went by fast and slow.

Today was the last day of school and I was so pumped. Summer. My first summer with Edward.

After school we all had to go to Edwards. Esme and Carlisle had something planned. We were eager to know what.

Currently I am in Biology. My last class. They cut gym out of the day so I was able to get out. I watched the clock as it slowly went to 3:00 pm

" Okay. Well thats it. The end of the year. I hope you all have a great summer." Mr. Banner said. The bell rang and I stood up.

Edward grabbed my hand and we ran out.

We already had our lockers empty. We ran out of the school.

" Ah sweet freedom." I said. Edward laughed.

I grabbed my bookbag and went to the nearest garbage can.I dumped it upside down and my notebooks, papers and folder spewed out.

" No more school. No sucky math or easy Biology." I gushed.

Edward smiled and me. I put my arms around his neck and kissed him. He pulled away. I pouted and he crouched down.

" Hop on." He said. I went behind him and jumped on. I put my legs around his waist and he stood up.

" Lets go Spider monkey." He said. I smiled and kissed his neck.

He carried me to his Volvo. He started driving me to school after we got together.

He let me down when we reached the car and he opened the door.I stepped in and he closed the door.

Edward got in the driver side and started the car.

" Just think we dont have to see this place til August." I said.

He smiled " Sweet freedom, baby." He said. He kissd my lips lightly and pulled back

When we arrived at the Cullens. I saw my dads police cruiser. Edward looked at it strangely. We got out and linked hands.

He pushed the front door open and we went into the kitchen. Instead they were all in the family room Alice bouncing.

" Hey. Whats going on?" Edward asked

" Sit down." Carlisle

Edward and I sat down next to eachother, still holding hands. My dad stated

" Well Bella. I am very proud of your grades this year. You did very well even though during the beginning you danced."

Then Carlisle started " As well all the rest of you. You all got straight A's and for that I am proud. Especially Emmett." He said. Emmett stood up and took a bow.

" Thank you. Thank you. Your all too kind." He said. Esme looked at him and he sat down.

" Well. Carlisle and I had an idea. We ran it by Charlie so Bella could participate. As you all know expect Bella. Is that we have friends up in California. Los Angelos. What you didnt know is that we own a beach house out there. So we were thinking. For the summer we could take all of you and drive down there."

First I heard Alice scream in joy. Then I saw Emmett pump his fists in the air yelling 'Cha-Ching'.

Everyone went crazy. But only Edward and I just watched them while laughing.

" So I see you four love the idea. What about you Edward, Bella." Carlisle asked.

" Sounds great." We said at the same time. Charlie was holding back a laugh

Esme and Carlisle let out a laugh. Edward and I looked at eachother. I glared at him playfully.

" Okay so we are leaving. Either before June 20th or after. That is Edward choice considering his birthday is on the 20th." Esme said.

Everyone looked at him.

" Way to ease pressure." He said. I put my and on his knee and rubbed soothing circles on it. He relaxed a bit.

" Well... We can go before. It wouldnt bother me. I'll have my family so its fine." He said.

So I had to find a present. Something special.

Charlie went back home but I stayed with Edward.

We were in his room as normal.

I giggled and he kissed my neck.

" Edward." I said. He ignored me and kept kissing me.

He moved his lips to mine and kissed me roughly. I kissed him back the same. He deepened the kiss and put his hands on my back. He massaged my back lightly as I ran my hands through his hair. I heard a knock on his door. I pulled away. Edward kissed my jaw

"Mmm Edward someone is going to walk in." I said. He ignored me.

"Edward." I scolded as he continued.

His door suddenly burst open.

" How about you wait until I answer." Edward mummled against my neck

Alice bounced through the room and jumped on his bed where we were.

" Umm Can you stop kissing my best friend while I am right here." Alice whined. Edward groaned and pulled away from me.

" Yes Alice?" I asked.

" Well... We need to go swimsuit shopping. And summer shopping." She said. I groaned

" Why?" I asked

Edward chuckled " You should go. I would rather love to see you in a bikini." He commented.

I smacked him

" God Bella what have your turned my brother into?" Alice joked.

I sighed " How about I dont go swimming and I stay in and read a good book." I said.

Alice groaned " Your gonna make this hard arent you?" She asked

I nodded

Ah this was going to be fun...
