"Happy Anniversary" Esme smiled as we walked into our suite. Esme greeted us both with a hug and asked to see my locket. I opened the locket for Esme, to show her the topaz colour of Edward's eyes and then turned it around and showed her the message Edward had engraved on it for me. "I'm so happy for you both." She smiled looking at me then at Edward who was right next to me staring in my direction.
"Congratulations," Carlisle said hugging Edward and I.
"I wasn't too happy about it at first, I couldn't believe I forgot, I still feel really bad but Edward has asked me to cheer up and enjoy the day which is exactly what I am going to do," I said looking at Edward who was smiling at me. Well I had actually starting enjoying the day a while ago but I wasn't going to tell Esme that.
"I'm sorry Bella, I would've told you but Edward wanted it to be special, a surprise," She said.
"It was special and it was a big surprise actually, I couldn't believe it." I revealed. I wasn't actually referring to the gift, I was referring to the more physical side of things, though the gift was so special too. I was still trying to get my head around what had happened, I couldn't stop thinking about Edward.
"Is Nessie in bed?" Edward asked Esme.
"Yes, I put Nessie to bed at 10 o clock." Esme answered.
When Edward and I turned around to face the couch Emmett was there smirking. He sat with his arm around the back of the seat and had his chin on his arm staring at us. I didn't know where the others where. "Where is everyone else?" I asked Emmett. He grinned showing his teeth and shook his head back and forth.
"They went for a walk just before you arrived, I was about to chase after them but I don't think I am going to bother now," Emmett explained confusing me a little.
"Why not?" I asked curious. Emmett looked at Edward and I and starting laughing. I turned to Edward and his face was frozen, his eye's on Emmett and he didn't seem happy. Esme and Carlisle went into their bedroom to get dressed. Once their bedroom door was closed Edward grabbed Emmett from the couch and pushed him into our bedroom. I followed and closed the door behind me still unaware of what was going on. Emmett continued to laugh.
"What's going on?" I asked.
Emmett, who was sitting down on the chair in our room, smirked at me and said, "Ohh Bella, come on, you know exactly what is going on. Do you really want me to say it?"
Edward turned to face me and said, "He knows." Immediately, I knew what he meant and why Emmett was laughing and smirking at us.
"How did you know?" I asked sitting down on our bed. I put my head in my hands and covered my face in embarrassment.
"How could you not know?" He said laughing.
"Apparently he could sense our 'sexual tension'." Edward explained. Emmett interrupted and said,
"You two came in here like you had won the lottery, I could sense your sexual tension right away." Wait a minute, he did not just say he could sense the sexual tension between us, like seriously, he has to be the only person in the world that could sense that. "I mean it was like it was your first time or something, I couldn't help myself, I had to laugh" Emmett continued as I kept my face hidden with my hands. "What's wrong, Bella, Didn't you have a good night?" He smirked. I looked up and saw him smiling at me. Stupid Emmett, How could I possibly think he could change? I thought to myself as I put my head down again and put my hands to my face.
"Don't you dare talk to my wife like that, Emmett!" Edward growled coming to my defense.
Emmett laughed and said, "Bella, I didn't think you had it in you to tell Rose about my note which got a sex-ban put on my relationship, let alone go and do the deed yourself." I looked up and Edward pounced on Emmett knocking him of the chair and onto the floor. I heard a thud on the floorboards and thought it would wake Nessie. Thankfully though, It didn't. Edward was really wound up about Emmett's remarks.
"I told you not to speak to my wife like that," Edward yelled at him raising his fist ready to punch Emmett.
"Edward, No, don't, Please Stop it." I begged. He looked away from Emmett and looked up to my pleading face. "Please," I whispered through my lips without making a sound. Edward's face softened and he looked down at Emmett, took a deep breath and let his fist down as he got up of Emmett. Emmett got up of the floor and Edward was staring at him.
"Don't mention this to anyone, Emmett. I'm serious. This concerns Bella as well as me, if you tell anyone about our sexual relationship or talk to Bella like that again, I will not be responsible for my actions. I will also inform Rosalie and tell her you have been acting inconsiderate of people's feelings." Edward said.
"I wasn't going to tell anyone Edward." Emmett snapped. "I was just messing around and thought you would see the funny side of the situation but obviously you didn't. Where has your sense of humor gone?"
Edward didn't need to think about the answer. "My sense of humor is where it has always been Emmett, but when your jokes involve my wife and her feelings, It is no longer funny to me." He said very protectively.
"Fine, well you could have just told me that instead of acting that way," Emmett snarled.
"No you should've knew when to draw the line, Emmett if anyone had have said something like that to Rosalie, you would've acted the same way and don't even try to deny it." inserted Edward.
"Will you two just stop?" I asked getting fed up now. It really hurt me when Edward and Emmett fought. They never punched each other though Edward was so close to doing that just now, and I don't think I could bare it if they did punch each other especially while I was watching. Emmett didn't reply to what Edward said although Edward was right. He nodded his head at me then at Edward and left our room without saying anything. I sighed and put my hands back to my face. I heard Edward put the chair back up properly and come over and sit next to me.
"I'm sorry Bella," He whispered annoyed. "I should've controlled myself better, He just overstepped the mark," Edward explained. "Will you look at me please?"
I looked up to Edward's face and saw sadness and sorrow in his eyes. "Will you accept my apology?" He asked. "I truly am sorry, I promise it won't happen again."
"Yes," I replied. My decision to forgive him was final when he said it wouldn't happen again so I accepted his word for it. "I accept your apology,"
He smiled and said, "Can I have a hug please?" I smiled back and said,
"Of course you can have a hug." I sat on Edward's lap and wrapped my arms around him. I rested my head on his shoulders. "Can we just ignore this and enjoy the rest of the day?" I asked. "I don't want this to spoil it." I said still embracing him.
Edward's body relaxed and he said, "It would be my pleasure," and kissed me tenderly on the cheek while stroking my hair.
"Thank you," I replied still hugging him.
"What for?" He asked. I let go of him and looked him in the eyes,
"For stopping when I asked you to," I said.
Edward kissed my forehead and said, "Of course I stopped, Bella. I looked at you and saw the pain in your eyes and had to stop. I couldn't believe what I was about to do. Emmett always brings out the bad side of me in situations like that."
"I saw the anger in your eyes and had to say something to make you stop," I replied. I saw the pain in his eyes as he replayed the moment in his head, "Could you believe Emmett, He sensed the 'sexual tension'," I laughed trying to cheer him up. "Was he for real?"
"I couldn't believe it when I listened to his thoughts. At first I thought he was trying to be funny and then he starting smirking and laughing, that's when I dragged him in here." Edward smiled cheering up a little.
"Oh and by the way, to answer Emmett's question, I had an amazing night." I smiled. Edward's lips met mine for a second then I pulled away and said, "We better get ready before Nessie and Jake wake up or rather we wake them up." I laughed getting up of Edward's lap. I walked over to my wardrobe and opened it examining the clothes on the shelves. I decided on a pair of denim shorts and a purple top with purple flip-flops. I also took a white bikini in case we planned on going to the pool today or something with Nessie. I walked into the bathroom as Edward picked out his clothes. It was about time I was dressed before him, I smiled at the thought. I took of my clothes, got washed and put on my clean clothes. I walked out of the bathroom and Edward was walking into it.
"Haha" I laughed at him because I was dressed first.
"Only today," He smiled closing the bathroom door.
Yeah, Yeah, I thought. I walked back over to my wardrobe and piled my 'dirty' clothes on top of that pile. I looked at the clock and realized it was 9:30am. Nessie and Jake should have been up ages ago, I thought. I opened the door to their bedroom and entered it. Nessie and Jake were lying peacefully sleeping. I woke Jake first because he was closer,
"Jake" I said shaking him. He didn't wake up, "Jake, Jake, Get up. Don't make me pour a glass of water over you."
Jake opened his eyes right away, "I'm up, I'm up." He said afraid of the thought of a glass of freezing cold water poured all over him in the morning. I walked over to Nessie's bed and tapped her slightly.
"Nessie, Wakey, Wakey baby" I smiled at her facial expression. She scrunched her face up, yawned and stretched her arms out before she eventually opened her eyes.
She smiled at me and said, "Happy Anniversary Momma," as she held her hands out to hug me.
"Thank you Nessie" I replied embracing her.
"Daddy" She said in excitement. She jumped out of my arms and jumped up off the bed and landed in Edward's arms. Nessie began laughing as Edward tickled her.
"Congratulations Bella." Jake said hugging me.
"Thanks Jake," I smiled.
"Happy Anniversary Daddy," Nessie said when Edward finally stopped tickling her.
"Thank you Nessie," Edward replied kissing her cheek. He put her on the ground and she ran into Jacob's arms.
"I'm starving" Jake said. "Coming for some breakfast?" He asked Nessie encouraging her to eat food. Nessie nodded her head and they headed into the kitchen. Edward and I followed and Esme already had the breakfast made and out on the table for Jake and Nessie. Esme made Nessie small portions of food but anytime Nessie ate more food, Esme always made her portion a little bigger. Nessie had a bowl of cornflakes and a slice of toast while Jake had egg, bacon, sausages, toast and cereal. Edward and I went and sat down on the couch, Emmett was there watching Tv.
"Ignore him," I whispered before we sat down. Emmett looked at Edward and I sitting on the couch, shook his head at Edward then looked back to the Tv. The big game was on, the game which Charlie was at watching. Rosalie, Jasper and Alice entered the suite. They said Happy Anniversary to Edward and I and sat down. They began to tell us about a lake they had passed when they were on their walk. They said some parts were shallow enough for Nessie and other parts was deeper. They also mentioned there was a waterfall too. They said they felt the urge to jump of the rocks and dive into the water but they couldn't do it because they were wearing clothes so they are going back today. Edward and I figured it would be fun so we decided to go too and eventually the whole family agreed they wanted to go too. I had already thought ahead and had my bikini on so I didn't have to go and put one on. Nessie and Jake, who had finished their breakfast, went into their bedroom to get dressed. Jasper, Alice and Rosalie also went to get dressed. Emmett didn't mention anything to the others which I was grateful for because although Edward did promise he wouldn't do it again, he also told Emmett if he mentioned it, he would not be responsible for his actions so I was confused and wondered which option he would have picked if Emmett had have mentioned it. Thankfully though I couldn't come to a decision of which one he would pick and that's how I wanted it to stay. We sat in silence until Nessie, Jake, Rosalie, Jasper and Alice re-joined us.
"Coming?" Alice asked us all. We nodded and followed her out the door and into the waiting elevator.
"I can't wait," Alice said clapping her hands in excitement as the elevator went down. The elevator doors opened and Esme and Carlisle said they would catch up with us because they had to hand the key in to Claudia at the reception. We all ran following after Alice, Jasper and Rosalie who knew the directions. They had said it was right beside the place where the dolphins were. Edward and I held hands as we followed them and Nessie was on Jake's back who had phased into his wolf form. I looked behind us and Esme and Carlisle were right beside us. We passed a few vampires along the way who we hadn't saw before. We turned the corner and ran down the lane leading to the dolphin's. I remembered this was where I nearly fell when Edward saved me. My hand tightened around his as I rethought the moment. Then we came to a halt. We were facing the dolphin aquarium,
"In here," Alice said walking us through a path. I looked around and it was beautiful. The waterfall was huge and the rocks surrounded the water. Some of the rocks were high up so you could jump of them and some of them were low down. Emmett was the first to jump, he ran and jumped of of the rocks landing in the water forming a splash. Alice, Jasper, Rose and Jake followed. When Jake was in the pool he held his hands out for Nessie. Nessie ran and jumped of the rocks landing safely in Jacob's arms.
"Again, Again," She shouted. She got out of the water and climbed into the rocks again. Before she could jump into Jacob's arms, Edward ran up behind her and lifted her up jumping of the rocks into the water. I laughed at Nessie's shocked expression.
"Daddy!" She ranted when she was in the water. Edward, Jake and I laughed at her. She got out of the water again and climbed the rocks. She grabbed my hand and said,
"Go Momma, You try, Daddy will catch you!"
Edward was standing in the water smiling, holding his arms out waiting on me. I hope the water isn't cold, I thought. I never usually jumped into water right away before standing in it and getting used to the temperature of it. Nessie ran and jumped of the rocks and into Jacob's arms again. I reluctantly ran and jumped of the rocks into Edward's waiting arms. The water was absolutely freezing and Edward and Nessie started laughing at me as I moaned about the temperature of the water. I wrapped my legs around Edward's and wrapped my arms around his neck as if he was holding me like a baby. I asked him to sit me on the rocks so I could paddle my feet into the water first before I got in, which would be a while from now. The water really was cold and there was no way I was going to stay in it. Edward sat me on the rocks keeping his arms around my waist and I kept my legs around his.
"You didn't expect that, did you?" He laughed. I playfully hit him on the arm and said,
"Edward, it isn't funny, I don't know how you can stay in that, It's absolutely freezing."
Edward laughed at me and pressed his lips to mine. "Your just over-dramatic," He said. I dropped my mouth in shock.
"I am not," I said attempting to defend myself. Nessie and Jake were playing in the water. Nessie shouted over,
"Momma, your so over-dramatic, the water isn't cold."
Edward chuckled. Is there something wrong with you people?, I thought. "Even your daughter think's your over-dramatic" He smirked.
"Ssshh" I said grinning and folding my arms. Edward kissed me again but the kiss was interrupted. "Edward" Jacob called. Jacob was standing on the rocks with a grin on his face. Edward let go of me as Jacob jumped of the highest rock. Jake landed on top of Edward sending them both under water. They splashed me along the way but I didn't care, it was so funny. Nessie and I were laughing then Jake and Edward came up from below the water. Edward ducked Jacob back under holding his head down.
"Daddy, let Jacob go," Nessie ordered. Edward laughed and let go of Jacob's head. I noticed I was still laughing. Jacob and Edward both looked at me. Uh Oh, I thought. They started swimming over to me, I knew what they were going to do. I tried to get up of the rocks but it was too late. Edward and Jacob grabbed me,
"Edward don't even think about it, Don't you dare, Jake remember that glass of water?" I shouted. Edward and Jacob started laughing as they brought me over to the deep end. They had me held securely and I couldn't move as I attempted to save myself. I heard Nessie's laughs.
"Edward, don't you dare," I shouted again. They let me go and as I fell into the water I felt shivers going up my spine. While I was under water, I thought of a plan to get my revenge. I held myself under water longer as I put my plan into action. I had been under water now for about 3 minutes. I couldn't stand another second, it was too cold, so I let my body rise to the surface. I was acting as if I was drowning which I knew could happen to vampires, I knew it was terrible though I figured this way Edward would have me out of the water quicker and I wouldn't have to stand this cold pain, that was physically freezing my body, any longer. I felt my body come out of under the water, I kept my eyes shut and tried to make it as realistic as I could manage. Edward and Jacob thought I was only messing and I heard Jacob say,
"Come on Bella, stop it now, this isn't funny." As much as I knew it wasn't funny I couldn't stop my plan now or they would hold me hostage in the water for longer. I would rather have to sorry one hundred times to Edward and Jake than be thrown about the water by them.
"Jake, Take Nessie around the other end of the water incase Bella is joking" Edward told him.
"Bella" Edward called. "Bella, Come on, Please, Don't joke about this" He called again. "This isn't funny." His voice was getting panicky now. "BELLA" He shouted as he swam over to me. He lifted me from the water and turned me around to face him. I dangled my arms and he started walking back in the direction of the rocks. "Bella, answer me Please" He begged as his hand sprawled across my cheek. He was now really panicking. I wanted to tell him I was Ok and it was my revenge on him but I wasn't going to until he put me on the rocks. I was glad though that Nessie wasn't watching and that Jake had took her to the other end. "Bella, Please answer me, Please," He pleaded. He gently sat me onto the rocks and stroked my cheek. "Bella, Wake up." He said. "CARLIS-" He was about to shout but I interrupted him. I put my hand to his lips and opened my eyes.
"Sorry" was the first thing I said to him. I touched his cheek and looked into his eyes. It hurt me to hear him pleading like that but that water was really, really cold and I wanted my revenge on him, though I didn't think he would sound so scared.
"Bella" He whispered in agony.
"I'm so sorry, Edward, I really am,.....I didn't think you would react like that........but that water was really, really freezing......and I wanted my revenge" I said through clattering teeth. I realized I was shivering and had goose-bumps. "I'm so....so...sorry."
Edward got out of the water and sat on the rocks beside me. He grabbed a towel out of the bag and wrapped it around me. He lifted me onto his lap and rubbed my shoulders with his hands trying to warm me up, I rested my head on his chest. Then I vaguely remembered when I was human and I was shivering so bad inside the tent I had to stay in with Edward and Jacob and Jacob had to warm me up because I was so cold. This was almost as bad as that, I really was freezing, and didn't know how the others could stay in that water for so long. I couldn't stick Edward's silence any longer.
"Edward.....Will you say........something, Please?" I asked.
"I will talk to you whenever I get you warmed up." He replied. "Jacob" He shouted. Not again, I thought to myself making sure I didn't say it out loud for Edward to hear me. Jacob came around the corner without Nessie.
"Nessie is with Emmett and Rosalie," He said without having to be asked. "So you were faking it then?" He said looking at me.
"I'm sorry.....I am" I said to them both.
Edward turned to Jacob and said, "Jacob, will you warm Bella up, Please?"
"Sure, Sure," Jacob replied. He jumped up out of the water and Edward let me go setting me in Jacob's arms.
"Geez, Bella you are freezing. How are you so cold? The water isn't even this temperature," Jake said warming me up.
"Jake....I am a vampire....remember...plus the....temperature.....of the water" I said answering his question.
"Good point," He said. "Talk about getting revenge, geez, I'll remember not to mess with you again." He laughed trying to cheer Edward and I up. "There, Are you Ok now?" He asked.
"Yeah, Thanks Jake," I replied. I stood up and slipped my shorts and my top on over my bikini, which was dry thanks to Jake, and sat down again beside Edward.
"Now will you talk to me?" I asked him. Edward looked into my eyes and said,
"I should not have dropped you into the water in the first place Bella, I didn't know the water was that cold to you especially because it isn't for any of us, I'm s-" I cut him of. I could not have him apologizing to me, No way, it is supposed to be him shouting at me and saying he was disappointed not saying he is sorry.
"Edward, Don't please, Don't say it, I cannot have you apologizing especially when you should be saying your disappointed, Please, Don't even say it." I begged. I really didn't want him apologizing, and if he did go to say it then I would cover my ears.
"I'm not angry at all Bella, Yeah sure I am disappointed but I am glad you are Ok, I would rather have you faking it than for it to be real" He pointed out.
"So, do you accept my apology?" I asked. Edward looked at me and nodded his head. "Can I have a hug?" I asked. Edward laughed at me because these were the questions he had asked me earlier today and now it was me asking him. Edward stood up and held his hand out for me, I took his hand, stood up and he wrapped his arms around me tightly and kissed me on the cheek.
"Do you want to go now?" He asked.
"Yes," I replied without any thought. As beautiful as it was, the water was absolutely freezing, so it wasn't my cup of tea. Edward told everyone that we were leaving and Jake said he would take of Nessie. The others asked us where we were going to go and Edward told them wherever our feet lead us in sarcasm. So with that, we left the lake. Edward and I spent our time jet-skiing which was absolutely amazing, we had so much fun. We took our jet-skis far out into the ocean where we came face to face with the dolphins again. We had racing challenges with each other and I won two races and Edward won two races. We decided to leave it at that though and didn't battle it out for the final result. After the jet-skiing we went to the amazing leap of faith water slide. I didn't think I would be scared but I looked at the 60ft drop and said,
"Edward, you go on ahead, I'm just going to watch," I tried to hide my sudden fright from Edward but he sensed it right away.
"Your scared aren't you?" He asked.
"Oh Yeah," I laughed.
Edward laughed and said, "We can go down it together if that helps."
"Are you allowed?" I asked him unsure.
"Well you are now" He laughed. Edward took my hand and we made our way up to the slide. Once we got to the top of the slide, at the top of the Mayan Temple, the security man was allowing us to go down it together. I wasn't sure if humans were allowed to go down together but I didn't ask. As we were about to go down I chickened out again.
"I can't, I can't go down, Go you on" I said. Edward took my hands and said,
"Please, I don't want to go down without you, I promise I'll not let go of you."
"Edward, How can you promise not to let go of me? It is nearly a vertical drop and is 60ft high. We'll be going so fast you'll not even realize if you let me go" I laughed.
"Bella, Please, Have a little bit of faith in me, I promise you I will hold onto you with my life" He said. "Please?"
Although I was scared, I wanted to go down the slide especially with Edward and I knew if I said no he would accept it but I couldn't bring myself to say no. I took a deep breath and said,
"Fine, I'll go." Edward kissed me on the cheek and we went to the starting position of the slide. Edward sat down on the edge of the slide and I sat on his knee. He wrapped his arms securely around my waist and I put my hands on top of his. He kissed my cheek again and said,
"Are you ready?"
"Yes" I answered.
"Make sure you keep your head back. I've got you, I promise." He said.
I just nodded and closed my eyes. Edward moved forward and I put my head on his chest right away. As we dropped Edward's hands tightened around my waist. I didn't open my eyes though. We dropped so fast the ride was over in a matter of seconds. I opened my eyes when we stopped and Edward said,
"That wasn't so bad now, was it?"
I shook my head. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be but that probably had to do with the fact that Edward went down it with me and I kept my eyes closed. The next slide we went on was the challenger slides. I won Edward the first time and he won me the second time. I looked at the clock and it was 8:00pm, Edward and I left the lake five hours ago. Time had flown by, We were having so much fun we didn't realize it was anywhere near 8:00pm so we decided to head back to the hotel.
What did you think of Emmett? And Emmett and Edward's fight? Did you think Emmett was funny? N Edward being so sweet and defending Bella, Aww. What did you think of Bella's revenge? It was really terrible though writing her revenge, How could she do that to Edward? Lol. I wanted this chapter to be good because I am going on holidays on 16/07/09 2 30/07/09 so I won't be able to update so hopefully this kept you satisfied :D I really hope you enjoyed it, Thanks for reading!
