(14) Prolong

I yawned and stretched my arms as far as they would go. I half opened my eyes and saw Edward lying beside me with his arm behind his head. He smiled down at me and moved a few strands of hair away from my face.

"What time is it?" I asked and sat up in the bed. I pulled the blanket around me and bundled my legs.

"It's eleven-ten in the morning. You can still sleep if you want too." He moved over a little and leaned down next to me.

"No it's okay, I've wasted too much time as it is." I replied and moved my blankets so I could get close to him. He wrapped his arms around me and rubbed my shoulders.

"Was the bed comfortable?" His eyes were glistening.

"It was very comfortable. I slept so peacefully." I sighed and hated to leave the warm bed. The mattress was a gift from heaven. I would definitely have to upgrade my bed at home after sleeping on the pillow top. I won't tell Edward though because he'd be more than happy to get it for me.

"So what's my surprise?" I asked eagerly and looked at him. He had the resolve face and a half smile lit his face.

"Your surprise well I can't tell you that right now. I'm still working on it therefore it will not be till much later." He taunted and smirked. He raised his eyes and looked at the grayish sky outside from the huge bay window.

"What happened to the sun? I thought LA had constant sunshine."

"It's a marine layer. It will probably burn off later. I hope not because I desperately want to go outside." He rubbed my shoulders and squeezed them gently.

"Really hmm, why is that where my surprise is?" I said suggestively. He wouldn't give it up that easily I knew.

"No, silly Bella!" He ruffled my hair and he barked with laughter.

"Where's Alice and Jasper?" I asked and looked at the gray sky. I hoped it wouldn't turn into a sunny day. I was use to being in cloud coverage the sun would definitely seem out of place.

"They are with the Porsche getting it detailed." He said smoothly and his voice was silky smooth. .

"Are they going home afterwards?" I questioned and moved my position to my side.

"No, they are spending the day with us." He put one hand behind his head and the other underneath mine. "I ordered breakfast for you."

"Did you order the whole menu again?" I asked playfully smiling at him.

"No, just the pancakes and butter." He laughed and moved aside so I could get out of bed.

"You remembered." I was flattered. I climbed out of bed towards the table.

"Of course, live and learn." He appeared beside me and pulled the chair out for me.

"Thank you." I said and sat down at the table. He brought the food to me and sat next to me.

"I was thinking of visiting a couple of places since were in the area." He said and I cut the pancakes spreading the fluffy butter over the pancakes and pouring syrup.

"Should I be afraid?" He relaxed across from me. "Where are we going?"

"Well, we are going to a couple of stores. Then Alice wanted to take you to a salon." He mumbled the last part.

I stopped mid-chew. I swallowed and looked at him. His face was impassive and he moved a little further away from me.

"Why is Alice taking me to a salon?" I put my fork down and glared at him.

"Because she said it would be nice to go together to get your hair done." He implied and sighed.

"I don't want to get my hair done. My hair is fine." I muttered and shoved a piece of pancake in my mouth.

"Please Bella for me." He said gently and his eyes burned right through me. I suddenly forgot what I was so angry about. Damn him and his sexy eyes.

"Your evil, your using the unfair magnitude of your eyes." I finished the last piece of pancake.

He chuckled. "Your clothes are in the bathroom. I'll wait here until your ready."

"What about our flight?" I asked before I got up from my seat.

"It's at eleven-thirty tonight." He replied and walked over to the couch.

"I'll be right out." I answered and walked to the room.

"Take your time." He opened the newspaper and started reading.

Once alone I moved the clothes that were neatly folded into a pile from the bed to the counter in the bathroom. I pulled off the nightgown and turned on the hot water. The steam started circling the bathroom and fogging the mirror. I got in and let the stream of water blaze down my back. It felt so good.

I dressed quickly and pulled my hair into a braid. What's the point with a hairstyle? I was being dragged to a salon no matter if I wanted to go or not.

I emerged from the room and Edward sprinted to me. He wrapped me in his arms and kissed my neck.

"You smell so good." He groaned and lingered against my neck. I gulped and smiled at him.

"Okay let's go before you start driving me crazy." I laughed and looked at his hand running from my cheekbone to the lips.

"Wrong you are driving me crazy." He continued grazing my skin.

"Last night, you were a perfect gentlemen. Why the bravery all of a sudden?" I teased.

"Bella, you had a rough night and almost drowning. I wasn't going to take advantage of you. I know it's difficult to resist my charm I didn't want to overwhelm you."

"Very funny!" I exclaimed.

He laughed and pulled me against him. He kissed me tenderly and someone knocked on the door. He kissed me again and pulled me towards the door with him.

Alice stood on the other side in a different outfit. She was wearing a pair of black leggings and a white tank top with a fitted brown leather jacket. Jasper had on a white collared shirt with a pair of gray jeans. I looked at Edward and saw different clothes on him also. He was wearing a charcoal T-shirt with a pair of faded blue jeans. I was the only one wearing the same outfit.

"Hey how did you get different clothing?" I asked with my hands on my hips. Where was my outfit?

"I brought Edward clothes this morning and he told me not to get you anything." Alice said and let go of Jasper's hand. She twirled around and laughed.

"Why not?" I narrowed my eyes at Edward.

"Because were going shopping together remember?" He reminded me and pulled me out of the room. Alice and Jasper walked ahead of us. Well, Jasper walked and Alice whirled to the elevator.

We walked through the lobby filled with Hollywood types talking on their cell phones and drinking coffee. I looked at the concierge and saw the man holding an envelope. Edward walked over to him and talked briefly. He gave Edward the envelope and Edward folded something into his hand.

Edward tucked the envelope into his back pocket and came by my side. "So how are we getting around the city a limousine or maybe a Ferrari?" I asked mocking him.

Edward threw his head back and laughed. "I'm afraid not Bella sorry to disappoint you."

I walked through the revolving doors and saw a black town car waiting at the curb. Alice and Jasper went into the car and Edward let me go ahead of him.

"So where are we going first?" I asked.

"Tiffany's." Edward said and leaned against the seat holding my hand.

'Why are we going there?" I tried to wipe my sweaty palms on my jeans.

"To look at jewelry. Why else?" Alice included laughing sweetly.

"I thought we were going dress shopping?" I said nervously.

"Well think of it as a detour. Besides there's something I need to get." Edward replied and winked at me. Oh boy, was my only thought.
