BPOV
"Wake up my beautiful lover," I heard Edward's voice close to me and felt his warm breath on my ear.
I groaned as I snuggled into him.
"Come on, baby, I have a big day planned for us."
I opened my eyes to see him propped up on his elbow looking down at me.
"Alright, alright, I'm getting up."
"Awesome," he said with a smile.
"What's got you so hyped up?" I asked looking over at him.
"Just excited about our day."
"Still not giving me a clue?"
"Nope," he said with a grin.
"Fine, do we need to take a bag with us or are we coming back here?" I asked as I got up out of the bed.
"We'll come back here to change before dinner."
"So dinner isn't at the same place we are going today? Do we need to dress up?" I asked.
"No and yes."
"That wasn't a big help, but I won't bug about it. I'll just sit back and enjoy whatever you have planned for me," I said as I wrapped my arms around him. "Are we showering before we eat or after?"
"Probably before. I'm wearing slacks and a button down shirt this morning if it helps."
"Okay," I said as I went to my suitcase and pulled out some dressy pants and a light sweater. "Will this work for now?"
"Perfect, baby."
I went to get dressed as he grabbed his clothes.
"Love, I figure we can eat downstairs or we could grab something from that little bakery on the corner."
"The bakery sounds wonderful," I told him.
"I knew that's what you would choose, since you love those scones."
I flashed a smile over at him as I walked into the bathroom.
We took a quick shower and then got dressed.
After we were dressed he grabbed the camera and then took my hand in his as he walked us to the elevator.
"Baby, you forgot something today," I said as I looked up at him.
"I did?"
"Yep," I said as I leaned against him.
"What's that?"
"You forgot my morning kiss, Mr. Cullen."
He laughed out loud and pulled me into his arms, kissing me deeply.
"How was that?" he asked as he pulled away and I had to catch my breath.
"Perfect," I told him.
"I aim to please."
"Oh you please me, definitely," I said as the elevator doors opened and we walked out to the car he had waiting for us.
He told the driver where we were going and then he helped me into the car and got in next to me.
"Are you excited, baby?" he asked as he kissed my cheek.
"Of course - I get to spend it with you."
He smiled down at me as the car came to a stop outside of the bakery.
"We'll be about a half hour," he told the driver as he took my hand in his.
We went inside and Edward got us a little table and we ordered scones and tea.
"How are you feeling after last night?" he asked.
"Great."
"Just making sure, love. I had odd dreams last night."
"You did? What about?"
"About you and me, something happened and you hated me. You wouldn't let me see the kids. Emmett was the boss of the family and I was on the outside of everything, and I watched as you went off with some other man and I followed you and you and him were fucking in my Mustang," he said with a shudder.
"Oh my god, Edward - I would never do anything like that."
"I know. It was just odd. It felt so real. I never want to lose you, baby."
"You never will."
He nodded as he took a sip of his tea.
I took his hand in mine and intertwined our fingers, "This ring right here was my promise to you that I'm yours forever. No one can take me away from you. YOU ARE the only man I want in my heart, in my bed and the only man that will ever fuck me."
I leaned into his touch as our eyes held each others gaze.
"I love you more than words can say," I said as I sipped my tea.
"And I you."
We finished our scones and tea, then we got up and walked out of the bakery.
"To Canterbury please, driver." Edward said.
I smiled over at him, "How did you know I've always wanted to go there?"
"It's my job to know things," he told me with a grin.
"You're amazing, thanks for taking me there."
"I would take you anywhere you wanted."
City turned into rolling hills as we drove to Canterbury.
The driver dropped us off near a bus stop, "We have to walk to the cathedral from here, no cars in the old part of the city." Edward told me.
"That's fine, I have my walking shoes on," I said as I showed him my feet.
He smiled at me as he helped me out.
We walked hand in hand and once we turned onto narrow cobbled streets I was totally enchanted.
"This is amazing," I said as I looked around in awe of everything.
We went past a building that had established in 1635 - just so amazing.
"I wonder what those walls could tell us," I said as I looked up at it.
"The stories of hundreds of people."
"Can we go in some of the buildings?" I asked.
"Of course - we can go in any shop you want."
"You pick the first shop we go in," I told him as I squeezed his hand.
"How about that little antique shop," he said.
"Sure, sounds good."
We walked into the tiny shop that was full of teacups and doilies and china figurines.
I was more enchanted by the building itself, rather than the treasures it held.
"Do you like anything in here, love?" he asked.
"Not for myself, but maybe aunt Renata?"
"Okay, what do you think she'd like?"
"Maybe one of these lovely old teacups and a lace table cloth. Do you think she would like those?"
"That sounds good, baby."
I smiled at him as I picked out a delicate cup and saucer with red roses painted on the china and a lace table cloth that I thought would be perfect for the little round table in her breakfast room.
We went into a little paper shop next - the had lovely stationery. I picked up a box for me, cream with little blue birds and a box for Rosalie, yellow with crimson leaves.
Next we went into a sweets shop - we bought a little tin of biscuits for each of the kids and a large tin of various candies for Emmett since he was such a child.
We went into a book shop after that. I got a British cookbook and we got a book on Canterbury history for Jasper.
"Are you getting hungry, love?" Edward asked.
I nodded - I was feeling a bit hungry.
Edward led me to a little cafe. We ordered some chicken salad sandwiches and crisps and sat at a little corner table.
"Are you enjoying your surprise so far?" he asked.
"I'm loving it - you're amazing, Edward."
"I'd say you're amazing too."
"I guess we'll be amazing together."
"We are," he said with a smirk.
He looked so young and carefree as we sat there and ate.
"Do you think we should get Emmett something more than food?" I asked with a small laugh.
"Perhaps - maybe a toy," he said with a laugh.
"Sure, we might be able to fun and old tin soldier or something."
"That sounds good," I said with a smile.
"Do you want something for dessert?" he asked.
"Sure, they have some nice looking fruit tarts."
"Strawberry, love?
"That sounds perfect."
I watched as he walked up to the pastry counter and while he was there I saw him look over and me and point and then turned back to the woman/girl at the counter.
I wondered what that was about.
I watched him walk back with two plates in his hand and a smirk.
"What was that about?" I asked.
"She thinks I'm hot and offered herself up to me," he said with a shake of his head.
"What!?" I shouted, throwing a murderous look at the girl.
"Yep, but I told her after pointing to you, that you own me heart, body and soul. I also told her that I don't fuck around on my wife and mother of my children."
I loved Edward's words, but I still didn't like that girl.
I was still angry, as we ate our tarts.
Edward patted my hand, "It's okay, baby."
"I'm fine. There's nothing I can do about it anyway. I know you're mine."
"Believe me baby, I don't like it."
"At least she didn't touch you," I said as I stared over at the girl.
"Yeah I would hate to have to pull my pregnant wife off a young girl as you pummel her."
"Damn right, no one touches you but me."
"Yours is the only touch I want."
"Yours is the only one I want too," I said as I finished my tart. "Where to next?"
"Let's go see the Cathedral."
"Okay, sounds good."
I loved the feeling of my hand in his as we walked, I felt so safe.
We walked up the stairs to the cathedral and through the propped open door.
My breath caught in my throat at the sight of the beautiful interior.
"It's so beautiful," I whispered to him.
The ceilings were so tall I couldn't imagine how they were built.
"Edward, this is just...just amazing."
He nodded as we walked silently.
There were so many things to see, it seemed like every inch was carved in intricate details.
There were lots of people inside but you would never know, everyone spoke in reverent whispers.
I held on to his hand tightly as we walked, I was amazed at everything we saw.
"Have you seen everything you wanted to see, love?"
"Yeah. You?" I asked.
"Yeah and we do have some reservations to keep," he said with a wink.
"What? Where at?" I asked.
"Oh, just dinner and transportation."
"Okay, is it a fancy place?"
"It is, we will both need to change."
"Is it in London?" I asked once we exited the cathedral.
"You'll see," he said as we walked back to the car.
I really hated when I didn't know where we were going or what we were doing, but its his surprise.
So I'll be good.
We held hands as our driver took us back to central London.
"You're not mad at me, are you?" he asked as he kissed along my jaw.
"No, I just get nervous when I don't know what's going on."
"You'll enjoy it, baby. Trust me, let me spoil you. Please," he said with a pout on his kissable full lips.
"You're cute when you pout."
He leaned in and kissed my lips, "You're beautiful and I can't wait to see you tonight at where we are going."
I couldn't help but laugh, his enthusiasm was infectious.
It wasn't very long until we were back at the hotel.
Once back at the hotel Edward helped me from the car.
Edward held my hand as we walked inside and to the elevator.
When we're inside our room I went to the closet and got the cocktail dress I brought with me.
I gave Edward a wink as I slipped into the bathroom - I don't want him to see me until I'm ready.
I slipped from my clothes and pulled the dark blue satin cocktail dress from the garment bag.
Esme helped me pick the dress - I wanted something sophisticated for London.
I wasn't to sure about the gold shoes she assured me would be perfect, but now that they're on they do look nice with the dress.
I just hoped that Edward liked the dress as much as I did.
I checked my make up and put in some gold earrings before I opened the bathroom door.
Edward was standing by the window in a dark blue suit - I'm thinking Esme must have had a hand in his too since we matched so well.
"Edward," I said quietly so he knew I'm there.
He turned towards me and smiled as he walked towards me.
He looked amazing and sexy as hell with his tousled hair.
"Wow, baby, you look amazing."
"I can say the same thing about you," I said as I looked up into his green eyes.
His arms slipped around my waist and he pulled me to him.
He kissed me deeply.
I couldn't help but slide my hands up into his hair as I deepened the kiss.
After a moment he broke away, "We better get going," he said.
"Okay," I said as I picked up my sweater, just in case I got chilly.
We walked back to the elevator and went down to the lobby and out to a waiting car.
"Saint Pancras station," Edward said to our driver.
I looked at Edward curiously but didn't ask anything as we twisted through the streets.
"No questions, love?" he asked as he looked over at me.
"Would it do me any good to ask?"
"Maybe," he said with a smirk.
"So...where are we going that we need to take a train?"
"Saint Pancras is the international train station - we're having dinner in Paris."
"You're taking me to Paris for dinner?" I asked excitedly.
"Yes. The Eurostar speed train goes from London to Paris in two hours."
"Oh my god, I can't believe you are doing this for me, for us."
"I would do anything for you, baby."
"Thank you," I said as I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him.
When we got the the train station Edward helped me out and we walked inside.
Again my breath was taken away - this place was huge, I had never seen anything like it.
"It is amazing, isn't it?" Edward said as I looked in awe as I looked around.
"Yes, I didn't know places like this existed."
"There are so many places I want to show you, love. Some of them can be family vacations and we'll take with the kids."
"I can't wait."
We went to the gate area and presented our tickets and then passed through customs.
The train was nice as we boarded - high comfortable seats lined both sides.
I laid my head on his shoulder after we took our seats.
"You're so amazing, thank you for spoiling me."
"It's one of my favorite things."
"I know, and I'm working very hard at letting you spoil me."
He chuckled and kissed my forehead.
I intertwined our fingers and I ran my finger over his wedding band as I thought back to our wedding.
"What are you thinking about, love?" he asked as the train began to move.
"Our wedding and the events after it. I was so scared when Charlie shot you. I just knew I had to protect Bailey and me."
"You were so brave."
"I was very afraid, but I had to do what I had to do."
"You didn't seem it."
I smiled up at him as I brushed my fingers over his cheek.
There wasn't much in the way of scenery as we were in a tunnel before too long.
I kissed his neck and set my head back on his shoulder and closed my eyes.
"Rest love, we've had a busy day. I'll wake you when we arrive in Paris."
I snuggled closer with a smile on my face.
I laid there as he hummed quietly and I couldn't help but drifted off to sleep.
"Baby, we're pulling into Paris," Edward whispered with a kiss.
I sat up and stretched a bit, as I looked up at him.
"I'm sorry I fell asleep on you."
"Don't apologize, you needed it."
We disembarked from our train and Edward quickly found us a car and instructed it to take us to 58 Tour.
I looked out the window as the car wound it's way through the city.
Paris was a very beautiful city.
When the car stopped we were in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Edward got out and gave me his hand, so that he could help me out of the car.
I couldn't help but look up at the immense structure before us.
"Is...is this where we're eating?" I asked in awe.
"Yes," he answered as he wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Edward, this is amazing."
"So is this an okay surprise?"
"More than okay," I said.
He squeezed my hand as we walked toward the tower and up to the restaurant.
Edward gave our name to the maitre de and we were seated at once.
I was still looking around at everything as we looked over the menu.
"Get whatever baby, it's already paid for."
I looked down at the menu and noticed that they had chicken, that was always a safe choice.
"And not chicken," he whispered.
He knew me so well.
"Okay, I'll get the salmon," I told him with a smile.
"I think I'll try the lamb."
"Eww.. I've never tried that."
"It's good if it's fixed properly."
"I'll take your word on that. What are you getting as your starter? I think I'll get the chestnut soup."
"I'm going to have the shrimp."
"What about dessert?" I asked as I looked at the menu.
"I think the lemon meringue."
"I was thinking of getting the Profiterole, vanilla ice cream, hot chocolate sauce, if that is okay?"
"Of course, you can always get whatever you like."
I nodded as the waiter came over to take our orders.
Edward told him everything we wanted and he even ordered a bottle of sparkling cider instead of the champagne.
"You could have had champagne," I told him.
"No way - we're in this together."
I smiled over at him.
The restaurant was beautiful - filled with small intimate tables nestled against the windows. From where we sat we could see the Seine River.
"The view is amazing, Edward."
"It is," he said looking at me.
"I was talking about outside," I said with a giggle.
"It's passable - you're the real beauty."
"You're ridiculous," I told him.
"Nope, just calling like I see them," he said as the waiter delivered our appetizers and sparkling cider.
Edward poured us a drink a proposed a toast to us.
"To us and a long and beautiful marriage," he said.
I smiled over at him as we took a sip, and then we started to eat of appetizers.
My soup was absolutely delicious.
"How are your shrimp?" I asked him.
"Very yummy, want a nibble?"
"Sure."
He held out a shrimp to me and I took a small bite.
"It's good," I said as I swallowed it. "Do you want to try my soup?"
"Yes please."
I held out a spoonful to him and he sipped it.
"That's really good, baby. I wouldn't never have thought of eating chestnut soup."
"I've never had it but I thought it would be cool to try something different."
"It is, and I'm so proud of you that you didn't order the chicken. I know you were thinking it."
I blushed and took another drink of my cider.
"I like chicken."
"It's also cheap."
"True," I said quietly as I looked out the windows.
"Baby, you don't always have to get the cheapest thing - we have plenty of money.
"I know, I'm getting better at this whole money thing. But I do like chicken, and its comfortable. I'm not good at trying new foods."
"Okay, love, I just don't want you to feel you have to settle."
"Thank you, you're always looking out for me. I love you," I said as the waiter brought our entrees to the table.
Everything looked delicious as we started eating.
"How is that?" I asked looking at his lamb.
"Wonderful. Want a bite?"
"Um.. I'm not sure."
"Come on just a small bite."
"Okay."
He cut a small bite and held it out to me.
I slipped my lips over his fork and took the morsel of meat.
It was tender and juicy but not something I could see myself eating often.
"What do you think, love?" he asked.
"It's okay but not something I would eat often."
"Yeah me either, but I'm glad your tried it. How is you salmon?"
"Very tasty - want a bite?"
"Mmm...sure," he said with a smile.
I offered him a bite and he took it with a grin.
That is really good."
I smiled at him as I continued to eat.
"Do you have any other plans for us?" I asked.
"I thought we could go to the top of the tower."
"You're serious?"
"Of course. We can't come all the way here and not go up."
"I guess so. Promise to hold me close to you?" I asked.
"Always."
He smiled over at me and all I was my young carefree husband.
We finished eating our dinner and the waiter brought over our dessert and tea.
"Mmm, this is wonderful," I said.
"Yeah, this pie is really good. I can imagine eating it off of my beautiful wife," he said with a smirk.
I almost choked on my dessert and I could feel the color in my face.
"Problem, baby?" he asked as I reached for my glass of water.
"Someone might have heard," I whispered.
"Let them - I don't care who knows how much I want you."
I blushed as I looked into his deep green, lust filled eyes.
"Are you finished?" he asked.
"Yes."
He reached for my hand as he stood up and laid some money on the table for a tip.
I stood up and he wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Let's go catch the elevator to the top."
"Okay," I said softly as we headed toward the elevator.
"I'll be right here, baby."
I nodded as we stepped into the elevator and he held me close to him.
It didn't take long for us to reach the top.
We stepped outside just as the sun was starting to set.
"Edward, this is gorgeous."
"It is, love. But it's even more beautiful since I get to share it with you. I love you so much, my Bella. Thank you for loving me, marrying me and giving me the most awesome gifts in the world, our precious children," he said as he place his one hand on my stomach and with his other hand he held out a small box.
"What's this?" I asked.
"It's another anniversary gift, and also my promise to love and cherish you forever, to infinity and beyond, baby."
"Oh Edward," I gasped as I looked at the silver bracelet with blue stones.
"D..do you like it?" he asked nervously.
"I love it. Help me," I said holding it out to him.
He took it from my fingers and he fastened it on my wrist and his kissed it ever so gently as he looked up at me.
"Ti amo, mia Bella." ( I love you, my Bella.)
"Ti amo anche io, il mio Edward," I whispered with tears in my eyes. (I love you too, my Edward.)
"Bella...you spoke beautiful Italian."
"I do remember some of what you taught me while we were in bed in Italy," I said with a smile.
"Mmmm, I can't wait to get you in bed again."
"Me either. Can we go now?" I asked.
"Yes, let's head back to London and to our bed."
We walked back to the elevator after taking some pictures and getting someone to take our picture together.
I leaned against him as we went down to the bottom floor.
Edward guided me to the car and helped me in.
The driver took us back to the train station.
Edward helped me out of the car and we walked into the train station.
We went through customs and presented our tickets as we boarded the train.
I snuggled against Edward after we found our seats.
"Tired, love?" he asked.
"Yes, a bit."
"You can rest now, because once we get back to the hotel there will be no rest, at least for awhile," he said with a smirk.
I smiled and snuggled closer.
I felt his fingers brush through my hair as he took out his phone and scrolled through his texts.
"Anything good?" I murmured.
"Just some from Emmett," he said. "Nothing to worry about."
"Did he say how the kids are?"
"He said they are good, and that Bailey is quite the talker. He apologized for her new word."
"Oh great, what is it."
"He sent a video."
"Okay."
I sat up as he pressed play on the video and there was my Bailey sitting with Emmett as he played some video game and he lost.
"Fuck it," he said as he threw down the controller.
"Fuck it," she mimicked and then the video stopped.
"I'm going to kill him."
"He said that he talked to her about it, and that only grown ups can say that," Edward said.
"Doesn't matter, I'm still slapping the shit out of him."
"I'm sure Rose will laugh."
"I swear I don't see how you two are related," I said with a sigh.
"I know, I've wondered that too."
We both laughed as I snuggled back into him.
He kissed the top of my head and I smiled.
I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew Edward was kissing my cheek and murmuring about waking up.
"Love, we are here."
I sat up rubbing my eyes.
When I opened them, I saw his gorgeous face in front of me.
"Are you ready to go to the hotel? The car is waiting for us."
"Yes, I'm ready."
He took my hand and we left the train.
I looked at the glowing city as we wound through the streets.
He hand my hand in his as he leaned over and kissed my neck.
"I can't wait to get you in our room."
"Me either."
It wasn't long until we were pulling up to our hotel.
Edward hoped out of the car as soon as it was stopped and he reached for my hand.
He walked us hurriedly to the elevator and we got in as soon as it arrived.
"Eager, baby?" I asked looking up into his darkened eyes.
"Always."
He crushed his lips to mine as he pushed my back against the wall as his body was pressed to mine.
I ran my fingers up into his hair.
His tongue devoured mine as we both moaned and clutched at each other.
When the elevator stopped we walked to our room quickly.
He opened the door and he let me walk in front of him as he closed and locked the door, pulling me back to him.
"Don't get too far away, Mrs. Cullen."
"Good," he said as he started peeling away my dress.
He pushed my dress down till it pooled on the floor and his mouth descended to my breasts spilling from my bra.
He moaned as he licked and sucked the skin there, as he slid his fingers behind me and unclasped my bra, dropping it to the floor.
He quickly sucked one of my hardened nipples into his mouth.
I moaned loudly and threaded my fingers into his hair.
"Edward, so good," I said as he kissed his way over to my other nipple and gave it the same treatment.
I tightened my grip on him, holding him tighter to me.
He kept licking and sucking as his hands moved down my back to my ass and he pressed me against him.
I could feel every hard inch of him and I moaned loudly.
I felt him smile against my breast.
I moved my hand between us, palming his hard cock
He groaned as my fingers moved over him.
"You have too many clothes on, baby," I murmured.
I worked the buttons of his shirt and then pushed the material off his shoulders.
I moved my hand to the button of his dress pants and unbuttoned them and pushed them over his hips.
Then I pushed down his boxers, his cock sprang free.
He groaned as I gripped him in my hand and ran my fingers over the tip of his cock.
"Bedroom, baby?" he asked as he looked up at me.
"Yes," I said.
He scooped me up in his arms and carried me to the bedroom, all the while kissing me passionately.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, holding tightly to him.
He moved his lips to my neck as he gently nipped the skin there, as he murmured my name.
He laid me gently on the bed and stood looking at me - his eyes filled with lust.
"You're so beautiful, baby. I can never get enough of you."
"I can't get enough of you either," I said as I reached my hand out to him.
He took my hand as he got on the bed and hovered over me.
He lowered his lips to mine and devoured my mouth.
Our tongues tangled together as I placed my hands on his back pressing him into me.
"I need you," I moaned out when our mouths broke apart.
He growled as he kissed over to my ear, and he nudged my legs apart as he settled between them.
He reached between us and gripped his cock in his hand and he guided it into my entrance.
We both moaned as he pushed all the way inside me.
I loved having him inside me.
He clasped my hands as he slowly moved in and out of me.
I loved seeing the look of pleasure on his face
I reached up to caress his face as he moved in and out.
"My Edward."
"Always yours," he said as he thrusted deeply inside me and we both groaned at the feeling.
His lips met mine again, heatedly as he pushed in harder.
"Yes,"I panted as I pulled my lips from his.
His body moved faster in mine and I felt the coil in my stomach tighten.
"Yes, Edward, yes," I moaned out.
He quickened his pace as he moved in and out of me, as I felt him growing harder inside me.
"Yes...that's it," I moaned.
"Bella, fuck... yes," he moaned as he stilled above me and spilled deep inside me.
The feel of him coming inside me pushed me over the edge.
I clutched onto his shoulders as I came screaming out his name.
"Fuck Edward, yes!"
"Bella," he moaned as he held himself above me.
He rolled us to our sides and pulled me into his arms.
"I love you, baby," he whispered against me.
"I love you, Edward."
He held me to him as I started to feel really sleepy.
"Tired, love?"
"Yes."
"Let's sleep, baby."
I snuggled into his chest as he stroked over my back.
I drifted to sleep completely blissful in his arms.
