We stopped in front of a secluded house a few miles outside of Webster, New York. I got out of the car and pulled Iris out, lifting her into my arms. Carlisle walked over to Esme and gave her a small kiss on the cheek before taking the two bags she was holding and leading her into the house. Alice was sitting on the hood of my car flirting with her husband. Emmett and Rosalie were someplace inside the house.
"Get the hell off my car." I said glaring at Alice.
She flipped me the bird before putting her arms around Jasper.
I let Iris down before heading over and pulling Alice off my car. Alice let out a squeal when I lifted her with one arm and swung her around. Jasper ran over and picked up Iris.
"Put me down!" She screamed wide eyed.
"Only after Alice is released." Jasper laughed.
"Never!" I chuckled spinning in a circle.
Iris kicked Jasper in the croch and bolted into the house when he fell over. I let Alice go and ran after Iris.
I found Iris inside the room Esme had set up for us. She was looking out of the window into the back yard. I put my arm around her and pulled her close to me.
"Whats wrong?" I asked.
She shook her head.
"I know something is wrong. I'm really sorry that we upset you. We were just fooling around." I said softly petting her head.
"I didn't want him to drop me." Iris admitted.
I bit my lip trying not to laugh. "My darling, if he had dropped you I would have been there to catch you."
"But you had Alice..."
"I would drop her on her ass if Jasper dared to drop you." I assured her kissing her on her head.
"My cousin dropped me when I was little. I landed on the cat and he scratched me up. It really hurt." Iris murmured burring her face in my chest.
"He'll be fine. He's tough." I laughed.
Iris apologized to Jasper and we decided to set up our room the way we wanted to. I moved the furniture around until she liked the set up. I sprawled out on the bed that she had asked Esme for. Iris curled up next to me.
"Have you thought any more about the wedding?" I asked pulling her into my arms.
"I think we...should have Alice help." She answered looking up at me hopeful.
"Absolutely not."
"Please?" She asked kissing me.
"No." I replied trying to pull myself away.
Iris rolled on top of me and pressed her lips on mine. I closed my eyes and ran my hands down her back. She slipped her hands under my shirt and ran them up my chest. Her hands left my chest after taking off my shirt. She intensified the kiss when I felt my belt losen. My eyes snapped open and I shoved her off when I saw that she had her shirt off and was in the process of taking off my pants.
"KC?" She asked worried.
"How many ways do I have to say no!?" I growled getting off the bed and fixing my belt. I grabbed my shirt off the floor and left the room before she could respond.
"KC! What is wrong with you!?" She asked grabbing my arm.
"You know what is wrong. I'm not going to get into this with you." I growled pushing her off me.
"What the hell!"
"I told you before. If you can't respect that then I honestly don't know..." I sighed.
"You don't know what?" Iris hissed.
"I don't know if its going to work." I said softly.
Iris slapped me and ran off to Alice and Jasper's room. I sighed and returned to the room I shared with Iris. My brothers knocked on my door and entered without waiting for me to answer.
"Iris is freaking out saying you are going to break up with her." Jasper stated.
"What!?" I exclaimed.
"That's what we thought." Emmett said.
"I would never break up with Iris!"
"That's what the girls are telling her. Apparently she doesn't agree." Jasper sighed.
"I'll be back in a minute." I said taking a little box out of my nightstand.
I knocked on Alice's door and opened it before waiting for a response. I walked over to Iris and pulled her into my arms.
"I don't know how you could ever think I would want to leave you." I murmured kissing her head.
"You said it isn't going to work." She said pulling away.
"Iris my darling, I love you. I want to spend the rest of my existence with you. I'm just frustrated about how you keep trying to force me into having sex with you. I told you that I want to wait. As hard as that is, its what I feel is right. Its how I was raised."
Iris allowed me to pull her back into my arms. I slipped the box out of my pocket and placed it in her hand.
"I was going to wait to give this to you but you have left me no choice." I murmured in her ear.
She opened the box and gasped. "What is this for?" She asked pulling the charm bracelet out of the box.
"You silly." I teased putting it on her wrist. "I thought it would be something meaningful to show the things we have shared in our life together so far. There a shopping bag for the Mall in Alaska where we met, a hair brushfor your profession, a heart for our love, and a bear for your first hunt."
"I'm sorry KC. I'll try to be good." Iris promised before standing on her toes to kiss me.
Alice pulled her away and kicked me out of the room to start planning the wedding.
"I will NOT be getting married if YOUR doing the planning. Its MY wedding. You can help Iris with the dresses, flowers, and invitations but I am going to plan the rest with MY future bride. WE are getting married NOT you!" I growled through the door.
I heard Iris laugh and Alice throw something at the door before returning to my brothers.
