Okay guys, thanks for reading and reviewing my last chapter. I do promise to update because I know how annoying it is waiting. : P. So just thought I should let you all know if you haven't worked it out yet that Edward is a vampire. *Sigh* and this is set at the end of Eclipse. So all I can say is read and review! PLEASE

"Bella", Edward breathed into the side of my neck, as I was waking to the light entering through my bedroom window. I rolled myself slightly, to better position myself in his awaiting arms where he pulled me closer to him with the first chance he could. "That trip was TORTURE" he stated, with a sour and unappeased voice. "Do NOT make me do that again."

"Why?" I was human enough to ask. "It was the same as all the other nights." But that was when my thoughts turned to the fear I had felt from the evening before.

"Well I have never had to stay away from my fiancée-" Edward was cut short when he felt my body tense up beside him. Just to prove our compatibility it seemed, Edwards body froze along with mine, mirroring it, as he read my expression. "What is it Bella?" he questioned again, searching my eyes for an answer. I guessed to myself that this was also one of the times he would long to read my mind. But Edward could pine over that later – I felt the need to dismiss such a weak emotion causing Edwards distress. "You know you have to get used to that word" he teased, probably trying to lighten the mood as he waited for my answer. "Bella?" This time more agitated.

"Yes Edward? Sorry – it was nothing." My voice seemed shaky, betraying me as it cracked on the last word.

"You're keeping something from me."

"No Edward" I pressed. "It was nothing. Now please continue." I smiled weakly at him. Still not assured, Edward scooped my hand into his and gave it a little squeeze.

"Okay." And it was at this point that I realized it was more that his tone questioning me. "I've never had to be away from my wife-to-be" he said again. "You were in my head 24/7! Emmett almost killed me for not grading his performances with the grizzlies."

We both smiled, either from Edward's 'near death' experience, but more so from the fact that Emmett had now progressed to a grading system for his hunting. We sat, taking in each other's expressions for an immeasurable period until Edward declared that it was breakfast time. For the human. He marched me downstairs and sat me at the table where he prepared me some eggs in a flash. Literally. And just like every Saturday he asked, "What do you feel like doing today?"

I weighed up my options in my head. "Well I do need to see Alice at some point today. She wants to talk wedding plans". 'Joy' I thought sarcastically. 'It's sure to be the highlight of my day.'

"We don't need to do it this way" Edward reminded me yet again.

"NO!" I practically yelled. "I mean, if I'm going to do this it should be the right way." He smiled the crooked smile of his, dazzling me on purpose.

"Is that all you need to do, miss?" he asked. I couldn't help to think of the early 1900's – and where he was going with this. "Because I would quite like to take you home with me" – his eyes glowed here, which turned them that beautiful onyx, "and to cook you a lovely meal."

I heard the emphasis on the word lovely. 'What is he planning,' I thought to myself. "How quaint" I said, aiming to match my language with his questionable chivalry.

"Can I take you now?" he questioned, practically bounding out of his chair.

"You are a bit keen, aren't you?" I joked. He just stared at me. "Oh, your serious aren't you?"

"Yes." He nodded. "Now go get changed."

As I headed upstairs, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of Edward. He was like a little boy on Christmas day, unwrapping a gift. I reached my room and slipped into a pair of dark skinny jeans; and a white tee-shirt with a lacey navy blue singlet over the top. After a few adjustments to my crazy hair I put on a pair of my white ballet flats and walked down to meet Edward. Always the gentleman, he met me at the bottom of the stairs and took my hand.

"You look absolutely Devine," he whispered into the cradle of my neck as he kissed it. I could feel his smile upon my neck too. Taking in my blush, we walked to the front door to his car and slowly- to my great pleasure and relief, we drove away to Edward's home.

And it was during these last few seconds before we turned the corner that my house was in view; I could have sworn I saw someone or something slip around the side of my house. If it was possible, my heart skipped a beat – and my breath suddenly caught.

Okay there you go. Hope you enjoyed. Please review; your criticism only makes my ideas much better. Tres Amusement to write :P Ahh, I will update shortly and let me know if there are any ideas you want me to consider…

MWAHAHA *evil laugh*
