Thank you, everyone for all the reviews I got on the last chapter. I think it was a good cliffy, eh? If that was me I think I would totally have had a nervy spaz already. I am trying to keep the updates regular and quick, really I am  and schools out this week so I can write you all the chapters you want. YES!

You know how it goes, Read and Review. Please!!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these wonderful characters. I wish I did though. But they are all Miss Meyers. But I made them do what I want. MWAHAHA

"BELLA!" Edward shook me. He had pulled over to settle me. He softly but firmly shook me; trying to retrieve me from my frozen state. My heart was fluttering, I couldn't seem to calm myself and it was at this moment I realised I was hyperventilating. And sadly, I let my façade fall. "Bella!" he firmly said again. "You can't tell me there is nothing wrong! I can hear your heart beat – its erratic. Now TELL me what it is!"

I tried to steady my breathing, but nothing worked. Edward leaned over and pulled me into his lap, hugging me, in another attempt to compose me. As soon as I took in a breath of his amazing scent, my body seemed to relax. Edward seemed pleased he was helping.

"I'm sorry I startled you."

"Bella," his voice stressed. "What is it? You know you can tell me."

"I know. But its-"

"Don't you dare say fine!"

"But it is Edward. I'm sorry but it is. And I am not keeping something from you. I would tell you straight away." I tried to convince him but I think he saw straight through my lie, probably because I was convincing myself at the same time. "Please Edward," I practically begged, because the look in his eyes was eating me up. I shouldn't cause this distress to him when I didn't even know if I actually saw something. For all I knew it was the neighbours cat. "You have to trust me."

Slowly and reluctantly, Edward placed me back into my seat. He looked me in the eyes for a few minutes and then slipped the car into reverse, and turned back onto the highway, heading for our families house.

---

When he reached the driveway, we had all but parked the car when Alice appeared at my door and practically ripped it off its hinges. She was ecstatic. And I wasn't ready for it.

"ISABELLA SWAN! YOU'RE HERE! I HAVE TO SHOW YOU SOME THINGS RIGHT NOW!" She grabbed my wrist and headed for the house when Edward placed a cold hand on both of our shoulders.

"Alice" he said in a stern voice. But I could tell by his eyes it was hard for him to composure – he was too excited by something. And it reminded me of him this morning sitting in my father's manky chair. "I have something to show Bella first."

Alice released my hand and slipped inside. "I'm waiting" she all but hissed to Edward, although, it was impossible to miss the smile that was playing at the edge of her lips.

Edward once again took up his position at my side and threaded his hand through mine. I could tell that the previous incident in the car and back at the house was momentarily forgotten. I hope.

Edward marched me through the kitchen, and when we reached the stairs he must of decided our human pace was to slow for him. He bent down and swung me into his arms, and despite my protests – especially as we were in front of Emmett, he raced up to his room on the third floor. Kicking the door open, Edward slowed to a stroll and placed me softy on the sometimes-unnecessary bed.

"Edward" I started to say, but his perfect fingertips rested on my lips subtly telling me to stop.

"Now I know you hate presents, but-" he was stopped by my groan. Bending down he grabbed my face and breathed his beautiful scent onto it, "I didn't spend a cent." His eyes were dancing with joy and I decided to be excited for his benefit. "I just thought you would really like this. And I think it will go well with your wedding dress."

Edward jumped on the bed behind me and lifted my hair, to place a beautiful pearl necklace around it. Slowly fastening the clasp, he kissed behind my ear and I was suddenly spun around to face him. "I absolutely love you" he simply stated.

"How did you know it would go with my dress" I asked suspiciously. I knew Alice would never tell him what it looked like.

"I worked it out by myself" he stated as if it was a matter of fact. A smirk was growing on his lips though. I ran my fingers over the precious pearls and was overcome with emotion.

"Was it your mothers?" I asked quietly.

"Yes."

"Thank you Edward." And I pulled him closer to me, kissing him passionately.

We lay together, just enjoying each other's presence when Edward started to fidget. I started to smile. I knew someone was trying to get his attention. And no bets, it was Alice.

Well I hope you liked. :P Please review. I'm thinking I'm going to be nice and post another chapter for you tonight. If I don't crash in front of the computer though. It's been a LONG day. I will try. If not I will have it up tomorrow. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
