Happy humpity, hump day! I can't believe there are only 3 regular chapters left after this one, and then the epi. It's crazy to me how fast the time has gone. To answer the most popular thoughts in the reviews, Bella is not pregnant, she's stressed. The second thing is this: I personally would have killed my husband if he made such a large purchase without consulting me. It wasn't solely about the money, even if that still bothers her, it was more about not talking about it in the first place. There is a huge difference between a couple grand surprise and a hundred grand for a car. Anyways, that's all for now, so just keep reading.

Thank you to team CG as always. I'd be lost without Brie, kitchmill, Jenn, Kelly, and Kim.

Today's celeb-u-counter is brought to us by Judyblue95 and I think that like me, most of you will be jealous. Her encounter was with none other than Rob himself!

"My friends and I went to a gig at this little tiny club called Club 5 in Hollywood. Marcus Foster and Ruston Kelly had just finished their US tour together and we got word of a small gig they were playing here together under the name "Old Gold". We got tickets, reservations, and were at our table watching the gig. We knew Rob and Kristen and friends were sitting behind us in a big group, but tried very hard to just watch the music and not bother them. After the gig, we waited to leave because I'm partially disabled and needed to exit slowly down the stairs using my cane. We were the last ones out, everyone else had already left. I was slowly going down the stairs, I was about half way down when zooming around the corner and starting to come up the stairs was the beautiful Mr. Pattinson! He saw me struggling, stopped and backed up against the opposite wall in the stair well to let me pass by. I looked up, he smiled at me, and I was so stunned I just looked down and kept going...I don't remember if I smiled back or not. He is a stunningly beautiful man up close. I've been up close and had my picture taken at both BD premieres but this was special as it was just a few seconds of him and me. He was such a gentleman and so considerate of this old frail woman...my friends were behind me and saw the whole thing...that's my story!"

Such a lucky lady…though I would have mostly likely trapped him in the hallway and had my wicked way with him! Any who, thanks for sharing.


Chapter Thirty-Two

After the dress was found, everything else fell into place and all my stress seemed to melt away until now. Lists had been made, double checked, and crossed off. Everything was packed and ready to go...except for the groom. He was due back in less than twenty-four hours, and I couldn't wait. Making all these decisions over the phone was hard enough, but not having him by my side made it twice as difficult.

I was double-checking that I had packed our rings and that all of our wedding attire had been placed in the garment bags once more when my phone rang. Recognizing Eddie's ringtone, I dove onto the bed to answer it.

"Hey, honey! How was your last day of filming?"

He sighed heavily before he responded. "Long, but I'm so glad to finally be done. I can't wait to be back in your arms. I was even able to move my flight up to tonight, so I should arrive just after six in the morning."

My excitement rose. "Do you need me to pick you up?"

"No, love. Don't trouble yourself. I'll just have a car bring me home." His tired tone spoke volumes and I didn't take it personally, though I was dying to have him back in my arms.

"Okay, Eddie. Tell those pilots they're carrying my most precious cargo, so be careful." My words made him chuckle.

"Will do, coffee girl. See you soon, and I love you soon-to-be Mrs. Cullen." I swooned. Coffee girl and the missus title all in one comment, who wouldn't?

"I love you too, hubby-to-be."

When we hung up, I ran down and tested out the surprise I'd had installed for Edward while he was away. It was the most expensive item I had purchase for the house without telling him. I knew he wouldn't be mad though; shocked, maybe, but never mad. I still felt guilty about not telling him, especially after the car incident, but I knew he would appreciate the gesture I made.

Once I was sure it was good to go, I ran back upstairs and finished up our packing. Then I collapsed into our bed equally exhausted and excited for tomorrow.

~o~o~o~

The sun hadn't risen yet when my alarm blared the next morning, and I groaned loudly until I remembered why I'd set it...Edward was due home within the next hour. With a giddy and child-like squeal, I leapt up from the bed and hopped into the shower.

I shaved...everything. I was ready for Eddie to arrive home and for the long break he had before he would be off to film again in the new year. I couldn't do these long trips apart anymore. I knew I was going to be traveling with him from here on out or—at the very least—meeting him wherever his career took him. I'd learned a lot from working with Felix, but the success of the song Emily had bought was bringing many other artists to our doorsteps, literally. But I was lucky that I could write from anywhere and just meet up with artists when the time called for it.

Sure, that could change if and when we had children, but for now, I could continue to bask in the love and light that shone from just the two of us. After all, our tale is what love stories were written about.

With my hair dried and a sexy little ensemble covering my body, I rushed downstairs to prepare his final surprise.

~o~o~o~

I'd purposely left the lights on so he would know I wasn't still upstairs. The sound of the door opening and closing sent a shiver down my spine. I wanted to rush over to him and jump straight into his arms, but the need to show him my surprise overrode that.

"Coffee girl?" Edward yelled.

"In the kitchen."

I did a quick peek to make sure everything was perfect, and it was just as he walked in.

"Hey, what's all this?" I could tell he was shocked, but the light in his eyes grew brighter as he took everything in.

"Surprise!" I announced as I walked over and handed him the perfectly prepared café au lait that I made him with the milk I steamed on the espresso bar I had installed while he was gone.

It was the most extravagant thing I'd ever done without a thought about the cost, but I loved being his coffee girl. Now I could always continue to fulfill that role here at home. I'd custom ordered everything and had it built into our kitchen so it didn't look out of place.

He picked up the steaming cup and carefully took a sip. "Fuck, I've missed this." He set the still full cup down. "But I've missed you more. Get over here and give Eddie his love, coffee girl."

I giggled and closed the small space that had still existed between us. He smelled like a weary traveler and Edward...one of those being my favorite scent in the world. "Welcome home, Eddie."

Hands, fingers, lips...they were everywhere.

Heat erupted.

It consumed us, igniting like a spark and spreading like wildfire.

Edward lifted me onto the counter, sliding the silk chemise over my head before his warm mouth found my throat again and his fingers began teasing the already needy peaks of my breasts. I leaned back on my hands, opening and arching for more. I needed to feel him all over, wanting every inch of my body to be rediscovered and consumed by the man I loved.

My body belonged to Edward. The curves of my breasts fit perfectly in his calloused hands as he pinched, plucked, and toyed with my rosy nipples, taking them from their soft state and into taut, aching orgasm inducers. He was obsessed with the cheeks of my derrière, always kneading and squeezing the creamy flesh with near silent groans that never failed to put a knowing smile on my face.

Each of these triggers sent my desire skyrocketing like a migration of monarch butterflies. A need so deep that not even the thousands of miles that sometimes separated us could stop it. I would run across plains and mountains, swim across seas and oceans, just to keep the desire building for eternity between us.

The second my back hit the cold marble I hissed, but it did nothing to extinguish the fire that burned out of control within me at Edward's frenzied touch. He really was everywhere. Every one of my five senses was focused on him as he entered me in one swift motion. The sound of his harsh and erratic breathing was music to my ears and would elicit another song from me in the future, of that I was sure. Every nerve ending in my body hummed at his ever changing and surprising touch. The scent of our combined arousal hung in the air alongside his now cooling au lait. I watched him as he plunged into me over and over again—his head tossed back as he grumbled nonsense, the occasional curse word leaving his lips as we reconnected.

And those lips. They tasted of coffee and Big Red gum. So spicy.

"Fuck!" It was perfectly clear as the naughty word tore from his lips. "I can't...too long...gonna come."

His eyes shot down to our joining as he brought his fingers to my clit and began rubbing, his desire for me to tumble along with him obvious as he teased and tweaked my nub. I could feel the telltale signs of my orgasm beginning. It felt so good. The ache, the need, the want. All of it pure agony in the best possible way. The second he pinched my bud, I screamed.

I shot off like the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular finale.

I couldn't tell you if I said anything or if I just screamed as I continued to clench around Edward in the same rhythmic tempo as my heartbeat. What words he might have uttered were also unknown to me as some of my faithful senses left me in limbo—rapture to the nth degree continued to course through my twitching body.

Whoever said make-up sex was the best had obviously never had reunion sex, I thought as I finally began to catch my breath, because that was out of this universe.

There was no shattering when you reconnected with the one you love. It was soul merging bliss as you free fell toward a little death, or in this case, a big death. It was an orgasm so strong that you heart skipped a beat with every breath you held.

When my voice found me again, I spoke. "Welcome home, Eddie."

He chuckled from below me. "Welcome home, indeed."

"How did we end up on the floor?" I really didn't know, and Edward's laughter just increased.

I guess it didn't matter. He was home and I was happy. Not to mention sated…for at least a little while.

~o~o~o~

The day after Edward arrived home he was getting on a plane again, except this time it was with me, a couple of our friends, and all of our family—minus Alice and Jasper, obviously. They were still MIA, not that anyone seemed concerned. I wasn't, but it was still weird that no one even mentioned them. I wasn't about to bring them up either, this was too big of a moment in Eddie's and my lives to ruin with thoughts of the dastardly duo. Now was the time for happiness because we were off to Kauai for the wedding, and I was even more excited to be Mrs. Edward Cullen than ever before.

Two days. That was all that separated me from that title.

Everybody greeted each other with hugs and kisses before we took our seats in the private plane so we could take off. With just about six hours until we arrived in Kauai, I was excited to get the show on the road.

There wasn't a vast difference in the noise when it came to the take off in a private plane, but the plush and roomy seats made for a lot more comfortable ride. It's hard to believe that this was the first flight we'd ever been on together.

"You okay, coffee girl?"

I nodded. "I just don't do too well on takeoffs and landings."

He held my hand in his own and kissed my knuckles. "Just grab my hand. I'm here for you every step of the way." I nodded again.

Everything was going smoothly until my mother spoke.

"I can't believe my baby's getting married. I never thought I'd see the day," Renee cried, and I rolled my eyes.

I was about to say something, but Esme chimed in first. "I know! Me too. I thought Edward was going to live with us forever. Not that I would have minded, but I want grandbabies. And my Emmett and Rosie are taking their sweet time."

Neither Rose nor I could contain the snorts that flew from our mouths. It set the two of us off in a fit of giggles. She leaned over and whispered in my ear, "You would think we've left Esme waiting for ten years with the way she's wailing back there. Should I tell her now that she's going to be a grandma in about seven and a half months now or wait until after your wedding?"

"You're pregnant?!" I shouted before covering my mouth with my hands as Rose's eyes widened at my outburst, and the plane went quiet. I'm so sorry, I lipped as she shook her head and rolled her eyes.

"Before it is, I guess." She was taking my faux pas pretty well, considering I'd just spoiled their news. "Yes, Em and I are having a baby. We were going to announce it after Edward and Bella had left for their honeymoon. I didn't want our news to overshadow their day."

Edward was the first to congratulate them and then requested a bottle of champagne from the attendant who was assisting us on the flight. We all toasted the baby-to-be and the soon-to-be parents. Emmett drank Rose's glass for her.

Esme pulled Rose into a hug and then began talking to her belly. "I know you most likely can't hear me, but MayMay cannot wait to hold you and spoil you and love on you."

While the display was a bit cheesy, it was also very touching. I wondered if she would react the same way when we delivered similar news of our own some day in the far off future. Only time would tell, and I knew Eddie and I weren't in any kind of rush. We wanted to have some time to ourselves before we brought children in to the mix. I couldn't deny the inkling of baby fever that coursed through me at the sight, though.

"Soon, but not too soon, right?" Edward asked in a hushed murmur.

"Right. Us first, then the little ones."

He sucked on my earlobe for one quick second before he continued on, but the pool of molten lava in my belly had already begun to bubble. A second was all it took for him to get me started. "Our future babies are going to be beautiful, coffee girl."

I didn't even have a chance to respond to his comment before he increased his enjoyable torture. His sweet and spicy lips found mine and I lost myself like always. It was heaven.

Before I even was able to begin thoroughly the benefits of his ministrations, someone had to ruin the moment by chiming in with their own unwanted two cents

"Looks like Eddie and coffee girl can't wait to get started on some grandbaby making of their own."

How much longer is this flight? I wondered with a groan.


Thank you for reading and reviewing. I hope you all enjoyed their reunion! See you Friday with the arrival in Kauai! I will post a picture of the dress on my Facebook account when we get to the chapter where I describe the dress. xx Dee
