14. Italian Restaurant

They followed Coach Clapp as he raced the wave runner through the waves of the open ocean. Bella had never been on a jet ski or snorkeling either for that matter. She was enjoying the feel of the wind on her body and loved the sense of adventure that she felt.

Edward was so enthralled with the way her hands felt on his body. He didn't think he would ever get tired of the way his body felt under her touch and the way his entire being seemed to light up when she was around. He felt alive, and he liked it…a lot.

Jessica would never do something like this with him for fear of chipping a nail or popping a boob, not to mention how bad the ocean creeped her out. Jessica was completely hesitant to do anything that would potentially harm her breasts, and Edward figured it was only a matter of time before they popped since they looked like two overfilled balloons.

In fact, her new boobs were a bone of contention for him as it was. She had told him she was going to a spa for the weekend and instead came home with huge knockers after he had told her how he felt about it when she had asked weeks before.

It wasn't that he was against breast implants per se, but Jessica had nice enough tits to begin with. A girl only got them that big when they wanted attention. Edward wasn't stupid, and he surely wasn't blind. He just didn't really give a shit.

Before long 'the coach' was slowing down and motioning for the rest of them to do the same. Up ahead was a floating dock that he was tying his jet ski to. Edward wondered how the hell he knew where he was going in the vast ocean.

Once they were all secured, they were instructed to put on their gear. Clapp explained that there was a coral reef below and told them a little bit about all of the different sea life there was to observe.

He got into the water first, and the rest of the group soon followed. The group naturally coupled off and explored.

Though Edward was no stranger to snorkeling, he loved seeing the look on Bella's face as she did it for the first time. She was awestruck, and her joy was rubbing off on him. The water temperature was perfect, and the reef was beautiful.

Emmett and Rose were able to forget about their heartache for a while which was a welcome relief for them. They enjoyed swimming around together, and heartache aside, they were still very much in love.

Alice and Jasper were a sight to see. Jasper was a terrible swimmer and looked every bit of awkward as he tried to maneuver the flippers, snorkel, and life jacket. Alice kept taking her snorkel out so she could crack up. Her laughter continuously filled the air. Jasper wanted to be mad and tell her to be quiet but she looked so happy, it made him happy too.

After snorkeling for some time, Clapp told them he'd be back in a bit and that they should swim straight ahead. They did as he said and were surprised at the sandbar that was only a short distance away.

They were able to take of their gear and relax in the sand. They saw Clapp ride up to a motorboat where he was given some sort of duffle bag. No one really paid him much attention until he made his way back to the dock and tied up his jet ski.

He lifted the bag off and set it in the water making his way toward the others.

"That has got to be the coolest fucking floating bag ever. Imagine all the beer you could fit in that bitch!" Emmett exclaimed.

Everyone laughed, and Jasper heartily agreed. "It's tiring trying to figure out how to flipper and then making sure you don't go too far under so you don't end up drinking gallons of saltwater. I'm just happy I'm not the first bastard to drown in a life jacket!"

"Oh, Jazz. Thanks for coming with me. I owe you," Alice said seductively.

"Damn straight," he drawled.

The smell of food was getting stronger and stronger as Clapp neared the sandbar. Bella's stomach growled on cue.

She felt herself start to blush until Edward's stomach growled too. He smiled at her in understanding. "I'm hungry."

Edward didn't only mean for the food in Clapp's bag but also for the girl sitting next to him. Bella totally understood his hunger. Just being near him made her feel things she had long ago dismissed as fiction. She had accepted her fate in order to be a good daughter to Charlie.

She looked at Edward and made her decision. Wrong or not, she wanted him inside of her. She knew she'd remember her first time for the rest of her life, and there was no way Mike deserved that piece of her. It was the only thing she could still control. She didn't take Edward as the cheating type but only hoped he would do her that favor. It would only be once and then they could get back to their lives when the trip was over.

Emmett helped Clapp carry the bag onto the sandbar. He opened it, and the smell of Italian food had never been so welcoming. In fact, everyone agreed that it smelled better than any Italian Restaurant they'd ever eaten at.

Alice helped him pass out the plastic containers of food and smiled when she tossed Emmett a beer. "Anyone else?"

Edward raised his hand along with Jasper. Alicetossed out two more and then took three bottles of wine out of the bag. She smiled when she read a note attached to one of them.

Alice,

I hope you're having a great time. I have selected these for you girls out of my personal collection of fine wines. Make sure you read the labels carefully and give them to the correct person.

Enjoy~ Carlisle

Alice found it amusing that the note was addressed to her. Carlisle was certain she would be the one to take charge of their lunch. She looked at the bottles of wine carefully. It was obvious which one belonged to each of the girls.

She smiled when she read Alice in Wonderland on one of them, and then handed Bella her bottle, which read Sunblushed Bellisima. Bella wasn't a big drinker but figured when in Rome, or in this case when on an island, why the hell not?

Alice handed Rose her bottle cautiously. Healing Rose Petals. Alice had been friends with Rose since high school and knew how hard her failed attempts at becoming a mother had hit her. It was the reason that Alice persuaded her to take this trip in the first place. She needed a well-deserved break from real life; somewhere she could rest, reconnect with Emmett, and heal.

Rose looked up and met Alice's eyes with a glimmer of hope in her own.

Today's plan was to sit by the pool. Mother Nature had other plans...it's 70 degrees and looks like rain. That's alright...my face and shoulders look like fried bacon from yesterday. I love your reviews so much that I want more.
