I DON'T KNOW IF THE CULLENS CELEBRATE X-MAS, BUT LET'S PRETEND THEY DO. THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS! ENJOY THE CHAPTER!
Edward smiled to himself as his family sang Christmas carols and pretended to drink eggnog as a family joke. They'll probably make Lexi drink the rest of the eggnog. It was snowing outside like it has been for the past couple of days. It would stop and then continue. The presents were neatly wrapped and placed under the tree with colorful wrapping paper and big bows, along with the gift tags that came with it. He looked around and suddenly realized that Lexi wasn't in the room with them.
"What's wrong, Edward?" asked Esme, in her motherly tone.
"Where's Lexi?" he asked.
Esme smiled. "She's outside I think. Oh! Doesn't she look adorable with the coat and hat that me and Alice bought for her?" she said.
Edward smiled back at his mother. "I don't know. I haven't seen her yet."
"Well, go find her. Did you buy her a gift?" she asked. Edward nodded and secretly thought of the small box inside his pocket. "I can I see it?" said Esme anxiously.
"Yeah! Me too! I want to make sure you didn't get a crappy gift for her, since this is your gift Christmas together," piped Alice.
Edward felt uncomfortable now that all the Cullens were staring at him. If he were human, he was sure to blush. "Alright," he mumbled, reaching into his pocket.
Alice gasped seeing the box. "Oh my God, Edward. Are you…? Open it!" she said, smiling.
Edward rolled his eyes and opened the box. The three female vampires sighed while the other three men cheered and hollered, of course mostly by Emmett.
"Man, Edward's going to fucking propose," he said laughing. Rosalie slapped his arm for such language, but he only laughed harder.
"I don't know how to though. I mean with Bella is was easier since she didn't really want to get married, but Lexi… I don't know. They're just different," he said.
Esme put a hand on Edward's arm. "Just follow your heart, Edward… Or what ever is left of it," she said.
"You can always do it the old fashion way," said Rosalie.
"Or maybe you can bake her favorite dessert and when she eats it, she'll already have it in her mouth," said Emmett.
"Yeah, but what if she chokes on it, idiot," said Jasper, punching him playfully. Emmett took that as a challenge and punched him back. Soon both were fighting across the house. Rosalie and Alice just looked at each and shook their heads.
"I think I can think of something," said Edward, going outside. Esme smiled happily as her son went searching for Lexi. She felt a hand on her shoulder and saw that it was Carlisle. They embraced and hoped for the best.
Lexi laughed as she twirled around the snow, letting the snowflakes fall on her face. She opened her mouth, tasting some it. She loved Christmas. It was the only time of the year she adore, plus no school was an extra bonus. This time with Edward was like her own personal heaven and she would like nothing better than this to happen over and over again.
"Lexi," said a voice behind her. She turned and smiled seeing Gabriel. She ran towards him and he picked her up and spun her around. She giggled and hugged him tightly. "I missed you, Lexi," he said.
Lexi smiled. "Me too, Gabriel. What are you wearing?" she giggled. He was wearing winter clothing just like she was: a fur hat and coat, boots, a turtleneck, and pants. The only difference was that Lexi was wearing a dress and he wasn't.
"I thought I might blend in," he said. "How are you?"
Lexi's smiled got bigger. "So happy, Gabriel. Life with Edward is perfect. I-I couldn't imagine it without him. He is sweet to me in every way and I love him, Gabriel. I love him with all my heart. He's a bit over protective sometimes, but I think it's cute. That means he worries about me and I like it because that means he cares for me, right?"
"Yes, it does, my earth angel," he said.
"Do you know what he thinks about me?" asked Lexi.
Gabriel nodded. "I do, but maybe you should find out from him."
Lexi pouted. "That's no fun," she said.
Gabriel laughed. "You'll see, Lexi," he said kissing her head.
"Do you have to go already?" she said, sadly.
He nodded. "But I'll come back, don't you worry," he said. "You're not getting rid of me that easily." Lexi giggled and hugged him again.
Edward was just pacing by though. His eyes narrowed seeing the two angels embrace. Am I jealous? He thought. I am. That's my Lexi he's touching. Why can't I read his thoughts though?
"Lexi," he said, trying not to growl.
She turned and smiled seeing Edward. "Edward! Come here, I'd like you to meet Gabriel," she said. Edward suddenly felt like an idiot being jealous at the archangel.
"Hello," he said in best modest voice.
Gabriel smiled at his and shook his hand. "So, I finally get to meet the man that stole this little girl's heart, eh?" he laughed. Edward only smiled and wrapped an arm around Lexi. "Well, I think I really need to go now. I'll leave the two of you alone," he said, giving Edward a knowing look.
"Bye, Gabriel," said Lexi. Gabriel smiled and just like that he disappeared. Lexi smiled and looked up at Edward. He smiled back and surprised her as he kissed her gently. Her lips moved with his, playing with his tongue. He growled as he felt her hand under his shirt. "You want me, Edward?" she whispered between their lips in a seductive tone.
"You know I do," he said, looking at her. Her face looked so beautiful with her bruised lips and eyes full of desire. He grinned. "Esme was right. You do look adorable in these clothes," he said.
Lexi giggled. "I do don't I," she teased. "I bet I'd look better without them," she said, pressing her body closer to his.
Edward groaned. One of these days he's going to fuck her against one of these trees if she keeps on teasing him like that. "Yes, but first let's go back to the house. It's almost midnight and you have to open all of your presents, hm?" he said, trailing his thumb against her lips. Lexi shivered at his touch and nodded not being able to get anything out of her mouth. She yelped as Edward swiftly picked her up in his hands and dashed across the forest and to the Cullen home.
Everyone the house laughed as they exchanged gifts. Lexi gave Esme a new skirt, Alice a new handbag, and Rosalie a pair of new boots. She gave Carslile a new medical bag (mainly because she accidentally dropped it in the water and it got ruined), Jasper a nice pair of pants, and Emmett a new leather jacket. She received other gifts from them too: new dresses and shoes. She had yet to get a gift to Edward and she hasn't given him his gift yet. She wanted to wait until they were alone.
But Edward kept staring at her the whole time, with that look that would make every girl go gah for him. She walked up to him and gave him a 'please take me away Romeo' look. He got the drift and grabbed her by the hand taking her outside. "Cabin?" said Lexi, hopefully.
"Cabin," repeated Edward. He picked her up and her wrapped her legs around his waist. She leaned down and pressed her lips against. Her hands went to clutch his head. She moaned, feeling Edward cup her bottom, pressing her against his erection. Their tongues dueled with each other as they caressed their lips together. He tasted so good to her that if they were to switch positions so that she could be the vampire and he the angel, she would be eating him alive with passion. "We're here," he said, removing his lips from hers.
Lexi laughed. "Already?" she said, looking back. There the cabin stood, staring back at her.
"We'll be warmer inside," he said. Lexi giggled at the irony. When she opened the door, Lexi gasped seeing how drastically this place had changed almost over night. There were candles everywhere and a bed in the middle of the room. There were red petals on the bed shaping a heart. She felt her coat being removed and she was turned slowly around. She looked up at Edward as he removed her hat. "Lexi," he said, taking her hand, kissing it soft. "I know this is so sudden and we've only know each other for a few months, but we've gotten so close and your feelings along with mine are too strong to ignore."
Lexi's smiled disappeared. "Edward," she whispered, feeling her tears fall down her face.
Edward smiled, wiping her tears away. "I love you, Lexi," he said. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but I was just afraid to love again. When I'm with you, everything seems right and my fear is gone. Every time I make love to you, I feel we're sharing a piece for soul together."
Lexi cupped his face. "I-I love you too, Edward..." she started, but her lips her shut by his finger.
"Lexi," he said, pulling out a ring from his pocket. Lexi's eyes widened seeing the black, silk box. "Marry me," he said as he opened it. Lexi gasped seeing the diamond ring. It was the prettiest thing she had ever seen.
Lexi turned her head back at Edward and immediately attacked his lips. Edward smiled through their kiss. Lexi felt like her heart was going to explode in joy. Edward loved her! That's all she had wished her. She couldn't feel more complete than how she feels now.
"Don't ever leave me, Edward," she said, breaking the kiss. "Don't ever play with me or make me unhappy because my heart won't take," she whispered.
Edward shook his head. "Never, Lexi. My heart will be yours forever and no one or anything can take that away from you."
Lexi sighed as he put the ring on her finger. "So, when's the wedding?" she laughed.
Edward smiled back at her. "I don't know, but maybe we should practice our wedding night," he said, kissing her neck.
Lexi's eyes rolled back in pleasure, feeling her lips on her skin. "Y-Yes," she stuttered. "Practice is good."
