Chapter 23
BPOV
You can feel when there's something wrong. Even more with the fact that I was lying on the bed, completely naked, and I don't remember how I ended up here. Oh, right. Edward must have had to bring me here after our sex marathon. I extended my arm looking for Edward, but I found his side of the bed empty. Cold. I hated cold, I hated sleeping without him, and I hated waking up without him. I hid my face in the pillow, groaning.
He left me alone? Damn it. I wanted to spend more time with him and here I am alone. Grabbing his pillow I found a paper and a white rose. I sat up on the bed, rubbing my eyes. The rose smelled wonderful and his writing melted my heart.
"My Brownie Eyes: Will you join me in a special place at sunset? I'll be waiting for you and ready to give you the world. Pouty Lips"
I sighed while still sitting on the bed. There's still light outside, but it was fading. Edward didn't exactly give me too much time to get ready, even if I'm not a crazy girl for fashion. I wanted to look nice at least. I stood up going to my wardrobe, but there was nothing I could pick for this occasion and there was no way I was going to call Alice or Rosalie. No way. They would force me to be a doll and I just wanted to be normal.
"What am I going to wear? Big trouble I have now." I opened the door of my bedroom finding another surprise. In front of me hanging up was a navy strapless dress with a sign saying, "Wear me."
"Aww. My Pouty Lips, always a step ahead." I giggled thinking about him buying a dress. He was acting weird all because of this? Now what should I expect? Quickly I took a shower, put some light make-up on, and got dressed. The dress was perfect. It wasn't very tight. This time I left my hair loose. I was ready in a short time, well, at least I thought it was short. The ringing bell from my door said the opposite. It was supposed to be Edward looking for me, right? With him things always change.
"What are you doing here?" Another surprise on my way.
"A bus driver can't have a shiny Volvo?" He crossed his arms with a hurt face. I giggled.
"I didn't recognize you without your bus." I laughed.
"Very funny, but I know. The same thing happens with my family. I'm not the man of the family, I'm the guy who drives the bus, remember? Now, pretty lady, will you join me on this little trip?"
Once inside the car, Sam drove me. The sunset was beautiful, Edward had chosen the perfect time for this.
"Can you tell where are we're going, bus driver?" I joked.
"I can't. Sorry." Sam looked at the road very seriously.
"Why the mystery?"
"It's a surprise. A nice one."
I sighed. "Where's Edward?"
"So many questions. Why should I tell that?"
"Oh, come on. You're driving his car, you picked me up, and now you're playing games. And Edward has been really weird today, besides the fact that after an amazing day, he left me on our bed without saying goodbye."
"Bells, I've known you since you were little. Please, don't tell me any details about your sex life."
I giggled seeing his reaction.
"I will if you don't tell me where we're going." I pouted.
"I can't do that. Just enjoy this moment, you won't regret this. Trust me."
"Bleh. I want to know." Sam slowed down the car and laughed.
"You will, Bella. You'll know… now. We're here. Come on."
I got out of the car and the view surprised me. It was like a secret garden in the middle of nowhere, lit by dim lights on the sides of the road.
"Wow." Sam laughed at my words. It was an incredible view.
"Now, Miss Swan, come with me please." We walked down the little road until we were in a meadow. More little lights were around, flowers, more lights and... a bus?
"It is that your bus?" I was surprised.
"Yes, it is." Sam wasn't surprised about it.
"Why is it here?" I looked at him. "You won't have a problem with this?"
Sam started laughing; it seems I was being his joke tonight. "Oh, Bella, I'll never have a problem. I'm the Forks Bus owner."
"What?"
"I am, but nobody knows it. I don't see a reason to tell the town about it. Tonight, a good friend asked me for the bus, a special one. He'll tell you I'm sure. Now go and enjoy your beautiful night."
I gave him a hug. "Thank you, Sam."
"Go, little princess." I started to walk to the bus and then slowly I went inside. The bus had little candles and roses of different colors around. There was a table with two chairs, more candles, and you could smell food. Suddenly, sweet music started.
"It's so bizarre. Where am I?"
"You're in the bus of love." I turned around and Edward was standing up behind me with a beautiful smile.
"When did you do this? How?" He walked to me and gave me a sweet kiss.
"I had some help from Sam. I wanted to do a special date for you and what better than a date on the bus where we first met?"
"Aww. You're so cheesy." I kissed him. He was irresistible wearing a dark blue suit with no tie, his shirt slightly unbuttoned. I licked my lips. He was too hot tonight.
"You're dreaming there. It wasn't enough our afternoon?" I giggled.
"No, not when you're so hot right now." I kissed him and Edward smiled.
"We'll have time for that later, my Brownie Eyes. Now, let's get some food and wine, and then I'm planning to dance with you."
"Are you serious?" He nodded. "You must love me so much if you want to lose a foot, Pouty Lips." I giggled.
"Anything for you, my Brownie Eyes. Now, come with me."
Edward wrapped his arm around my waist and we walked to the bus.
"You'll be surprised; this bus has a few changes." He was right; I found a bus with no seats, a table in the middle, candles and flowers around. "Don't worry, Sam can fix it." I looked at him, but no words came from my mouth. Dinner was very pleasant. We laughed, joked, and remembered when we first met. My Pouty Lips didn't mention the marriage proposal once, maybe he regretted it? What if he didn't want me anymore as his wife?
"My Brownie Eyes. May I have this dance with you, Miss Swan?" I looked at him, smiling. Edward touched my face and I closed my eyes. "So perfectly beautiful."
"You can ask me anytime you want, Mr. Cullen."
"I'll lead you, my Brownie Eyes," he said, grabbing me. "Don't worry; you can crush me all you want."
"Very funny." I leaned my face against his chest, hearing his heartbeat.
"So..."
"So...?" he teased me.
"This is your world?"
"This is our world, where our world started." I kissed him, wrapping my arms around him tightly. "Do you know when I fell in love with you?" Edward's smirk said to me that there was something interesting in his answer.
"I have no idea," I said, smiling.
"You had me that day on the bus when you kicked that guy's ass."
"Oh, how romantic of you."
"It's true. You were there; confident, strong, so sure about yourself, and so fierce. You caught my attention from the beginning, but I wasn't sure if you'd look at me."
"How couldn't I see you? You were the only guy I met on the bus with such potential." I teased him and he started to laugh. "It's impossible not to see you. Actually, I thought it was impossible that you could notice me." Edward picked up my chin and gave me a little peck.
"We have a serious problem about how we see ourselves."
I laughed. "But we complement each other and we're always trying to get the best from us."
"Hmm." He kissed me and my body was like jelly. "So wise, Brownie Eyes." I deepened the kiss not wanting to let him go.
"Hmm. Such a yummy Pouty Lips." We kept kissing. "I'm getting wet."
"You keep making my ego bigger," Edward teased me.
"No, I mean I feel my arms wet or something..." We looked at the sky and the falling rain drops.
"Rain."
"Told you. It wasn't you, sorry," I joked.
"Give me some time. I think I can change that situation."
"Oh. Who are you and where is my romantic Pouty Lips?" I teased him. We ran laughing through the rain to the bus.
"Wait." Edward stopped and I looked at him through the falling rain. "This is our world…"
"And…?"
"We can do whatever we want." His smirk made me swoon.
"What do you want to do? What can we do? The rain…"
"It's not so bad. Come here." Edward wrapped me in his arms and started dancing again. "You're amazing, you know that?" I felt his lips on my earlobe and I couldn't stop a sigh.
"You're the amazing one here." I looked at him. Edward took my chin and gave me a soft kiss. "Are you going to propose tonight?" Damn, great way to break the ice. He laughed and kissed me again. Why can't I control anything that comes out of my mouth?
"Not tonight."
"Not tonight?" I could feel my pout and disappointment. Again, his lips silenced my doubts and questions. Just for a moment. "Why? Did you change your mind?" I asked nervously.
Edward looked at me, surprised about my comment and smiled. "I'll never change my mind. Didn't you know that patience is a virtue?" He teased me. I had to admit it. It was an unexpected answer. "Hey," Edward whispered, probably after seeing the shock on my face. "I'll ask you soon. There's a time for everything, my beautiful Brownie Eyes."
I looked at him finally reacting and smiling. "Right." I wrapped my arms round his neck looking at him directly. His green eyes sparkled as if there was some kind of secret. "Now, it's time for what?" I asked seductively.
Edward ran his hand on my arms, loosening his embrace, and then in one move I was doing a circle and coming back to his arms again. "It's time for dancing..." I giggled and he crushed his lips on mine. "Kissing…"
I kept my eyes closed savoring that kiss. "I definitely choose the kissing part anytime." The rain, which had been just a small shower, started to be a little bit more intense. "I'm seriously getting wet." I leaned my head on his chest and his arms held me tight. "But I don't care." My arms were wrapped round his waist under his jacket.
Edward laughed and kissed my head. "I know you love the rain, but I don't want you to get sick. Let's go inside the bus." I groaned, knowing I had to move. "Come on, Brownie Eyes." We ran to the bus laughing. Once inside, the rain fell heavy but we didn't care about it. It was our night, our time. We sat close to the window looking out at the night. I leaned my body on Edward's chest and his arms immediately caught me. I looked at him; he was gorgeous in the candlelight. His look found mine and I smiled.
"Thank you for this night, Pouty Lips." Edward gave me a soft kiss.
"Thank you for being here, Brownie Eyes." Our foreheads touched and I gave him an Eskimo kiss. I could live forever with this man. I would do anything for this man. He changed everything in my life and gave me so much more than I ever thought. I was ready to give him my answer and I really hoped he doesn't change his mind. "Soon, Brownie Eyes. Soon." I looked at him smiling. I knew it was going to be soon, but when?
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-
Soon? Pouty Lips is unpredictable now, what do you think he is going to do?
Told you I was going to give you more chapters when I was done. I can say, LOTR is done and I hope to you give the rest soon.
Sooo, see you soon! 33
