Chapter 15

Love Wins

EPOV

I awoke the next morning and Bella was staring at me with a big smile on her face.

"What is it love?" I asked.

"Nothing, I just love watching you sleep, you're even sexier, you make little groaning noises every times you move and it really turns me on and your hair, God, could it be any sexier! And you back mus…" Edward kissed me and rolled on top, making me forget what I was saying.

We made love for the next 2 hours, fantastic slow, love making. He made me feel like a million dollars, like I was the only one in the world.

"Edward?" I asked.

"Yes, love? Is something the matter?" I looked at Bella anxiously.

"No, but, I was just thinking about how I want to stay in bed all day. I don't want to do all this stuff today.

But, Alice will not let us live this down if we don't, sooooo, let's get up and go pick our flowers and then cake." I rambled on.

"I love you Bella Swan!" I exclaimed.

She looked at me, smiled and crawled out of bed, heading to the shower, she stopped, dropped the sheet and looked over her shoulder, motioning for me to join her.

I got out of bed and walked over to her, threw her over my shoulder and put her in the shower.

We took turns washing each other, after a quick and kinky lovemaking session, in the shower.

We got out, dried off and went to our closets, looking at each other, knowing Alice would want us in something nice, so I emerged in a pair of khaki pants with a white and green stripped shirt and loafers, walking into Bella's closet, I looked just as confused as she did, all these new clothes and really no clue.

She was running her fingers through her hair, getting frustrated.

"Bella, love. Why don't you call Alice and ask how this works. She'll gladly help you." I smiled.

"No, I am determined to do this myself." Bella stomped her foot.

I laughed at her. She scowled at me. Stomping back to the closet, she emerged 10 minutes later, looking beautiful and once she saw my smile, she was relieved.

She walked out in a strapless light green sundress and white sandals with a little heel, just enough, so she wouldn't kill herself.

She walked into the bathroom, quickly braided her hair and threw on some tinted gloss, she looked fabulous.

"Bella my love, you look fantastic!" I smiled.

"Thank you Edward. You say the sweetest things." Bella said, giving me a kiss.

I grabbed her purse off the dresser and handed it to her, along with her little white sweater.

We walked out and went to pick out flowers.

I wanted simple, nothing too fancy, something summery, as did Bella.

She told me the colors and shower the color swatches to the florist.

We all agreed on Mums, she could dye them any color we needed.

Bella told her the 2 colors and the woman said she could have samples in 20 minutes, they wouldn't be 100% but close.

We agreed and went across the street to a bistro for a light lunch, since we'd skipped breakfast, well at least a filling breakfast.

We ate light salads and had some red wine.

When we finished, we went to pick up the samples, Alice will be so excited with our progress.

We arrived about 10 minutes early at the cake shop and started looking at cake designs, Bella was showing the colors to the designer and telling her our ideas.

Alice and Jasper walked in and Alice immediately went over to Bella and was squealing, she loved the flowers, I guessed.

Jasper walked over and poked me in the side.

"So, are you having fun yet?" he rolled his eyes.

"Actually yes. I loved picking out the flowers with Bella and we found a few cakes we liked. I can't wait until the tasting part, I'm starving! And we get champagne to clear out pallets with as well." I replied.

Jasper laughed and me and replied "whipped."

I laughed back, shaking my head, yes…

Alice and Bella walked over and kissed us both on the cheeks, about the same time, Emmett and rose came walking in. "Where's the cake, bring it on… I'm starving!!!" Emmett bellowed. Rose punched him in the ribs.

The cake designer came over and asked how we like to do the tasting, as a group or as couples.

We decided as couples, that way everyone could give their own opinion and not feel like they had to please Bella and I and it would be anonymous.

The lady led us into 3 different rooms, champagne chilling and told us the first round would be here in a few moments.

The first round was all vanilla cakes with various frostings and toppings.

Bella and I both agreed on the white chocolate covered cake.

The next group was filled cakes.

We both liked the lemon filled and the raspberry filled, again both were vanilla.

The next set were chocolate.

These were divine, the chocolate fudge was my favorite, but Bella didn't really like any of those. She wasn't a chocolate fan.

Our last group was various, some were filled with fruit in the middle, some were half chocolate and half vanilla, there was a strawberry one and an orange one, neither of us liked that, it tasted like orange peels, yuck!!!

We all came out about the same time with our score cards. The designer took then and told us to enjoy the rest of the samples and champagne and she'd be back with us in a few with samples of our favorites.

When she came out, there were only 2 samples on her plate.

We all looked at each other and smiled.

It was the white chocolate cake Bella and I LOVED and the lemon.

We were beaming.

It's kinda crazy to be so excited over stupid cake, but I thought I was going to cry.

"I am so happy, I already know what I want." Bella exclaimed.

The designer grabbed her pad and pen, Emmett and jasper devoured the last of the cake as Bella told her our idea. She looked at me out of the corner of her eye and I was smiling and winked at her.

We decided on a white chocolate cake with lemon filling, perfect for summer, especially with our flower colors.

It was almost 5 when we left there and Emmett was crying about dinner.

We invited everyone over to our house for pizza and a movie.

Japer and Alice voted to go get the movie, but we set guidelines or Alice would come back with some horrible chick flick, that only her and Rosa would enjoy.

Emmett and Rosalie followed us back and we ordered the pizza.

Finally, the pizza arrived, and we popped in the movie and dug into the pizza, laughing and having a good time.

Until…

SMASH!!!

Emmett and I jumped up, Jasper protecting the girls, all of a sudden a car alarm went off, SHIT! It was mine.

Damn it, why did I tell the cop to take a dinner break!

SHIT!!!

I called Charlie and told him, he said to go inside and not touch anything.

We followed his orders and went inside.

We told the girls what happened and with in 3 minutes, Charlie and 5 cop cars were there.

The found prints on the rock that went through the windows, so Charlie was happy.

After all the commotion, everyone left and Bella made us some hot tea, to relax.

"You know, 2 weeks and school is out. How about 4 weeks we get married? We've got everything we need.

All we have to do is send out invitations. We can get those out this weekend. I've already found the ones I want." Bella exclaimed.

"Call Alice." I kissed her lips and she squealed. How can I deny her anything… I smiled to myself.

"Alice, I have a big favor to ask, no nothing is wrong, everything is perfectly fine, wonderful, even.

Can you talk to Esme and see if we can have the wedding in a month? Will that be doable?" Bella asked, worry on her face.

Alice screamed, I think poor Bella was deaf now.

"I take that as a yes? Right Alice?' Bella asked.

BPOV

"Alice, calm down, it'll be o.k." I kept reassuring her.

Edward was playing with my hair while I sat in his lap.

Occasionally he'd kiss my neck, sending shivers down my body.

"Oh my goodness Bella, there's so much to do, but with you already having your dress and us our dresses, that's the hardest part. We picked the cake and flowers, just the guest list, which I already know you have and your invitations, the catering is finalized, just need a date, yeah, we can do it. No problems." Bella smiled at me as Alice came to an end.

"Thanks Alice, I couldn't do this without you. It is greatly appreciated. We'll just have to address the invitations." I exclaimed.

"Um, no offense Bells, but HELL NO!!! You have chicken scratch, so nothing! Nothing in the form of hand writing comes from you., do you understand? The printer will do it all." Alice exclaimed.

"Fine, you don't have to be so mean!" I exclaimed.

"Love you Alice, night." I hung up the phone, I was finished….

I told Edward about everything, he took my ring finger and started kissing it and then up my arm, to my neck.

"Mr. Cullen, if you don't stop, I'll be forced to take action!" I playfully scolded him.

He raised his eyebrows, picked me up and carried me into the bedroom where we made love all night.

When the alarm went off, we'd barely had 3 hours of sleep and it showed.

We got up, showered separately, as he had something to take care of.

I finished and went to get ready for school.

There was staff meeting today and the Superintendent was going to be there and I was hoping for the head English teacher job., so I pulled out something Alice would approve of.

It was a black pencil skirt with a little slit on the side, nothing too revealing and a soft yellow sleeveless button down top, paired with my black and yellow stilettos and a wide black belt.

I put my hair up in a bun, with a few pieces astray.

I walked out and Edward was just getting out of the shower, towel wrapped him. He looked delicious!

He picked out a simple pair of black pants, yellow long sleeve top, a black tie and black shoes.

I laughed, we'd been matching more and more lately.

School went by fast and then we had our meeting, which I was really nervous about, there was another teacher up for it as well and she had tenor over me, so I wasn't sure.

After the meeting, Edward, Jasper and I were all asked to stay behind.

I was confused, because they hadn't even mentioned the position.

"Bella, with all the pressure you've been under and all that Jacob has put you through, you've managed to come to work and not let it show or bother you in front of your students, that is a really special thing. Therefore, I would like to award you with the Head of The English Department. Also, Edward, I would like to offer you the head of the Arts at our school. We want to offer more and we think with your background and experience, he can help her. And lastly, Jasper, we'd like to offer you Head Baseball Couch. Jacob is in jail an won't be out for a while and when he does, his teaching days are done, so we need someone.

But, these jobs all require to extra work on your parts, Edward can you and Bella handle this with getting married and everything else.?" The principal asked.

"Yes, yes we can. We're determined and these are things we want so badly, that we'll do whatever it takes." Edward replied.

"Good, you report back 3 weeks before school starts, but I'll be mailing you out packets for things you'll need to accomplish over the summer." he stated.

"Thank you so much for giving us these chances, we will make you proud." Edward smiled and shook his hand.

WOW! I thought to myself.

Wedding, honeymoon, promotion, what could be any better than my life? Right now?

I thought about it, only Edward could be happier than me.

We went home that night and called his parents, they were going to have a dinner party on Saturday for all of us.

The week went by fast and before I knew it, it was Saturday.

Edward and I laid in bed all morning, knowing we didn't have anything to do until 7p.m.

So we stayed in bed all day, Edward went to the fridge to get some fruit and wine for us, climbed in bed and we feed each other and made love all day, until 4 p.m. rolled around.

The we got up and showered, together again, with a steamy shot of sex.

Went to the closet and seen that Alice had been here, she'd picked out a different outfit than I would have ever worn.

It wad a beautiful navy blue formal, with a split on the side, up to my right thigh, silver heels and a note saying 'soft makeup and leave you hair down!' the note said.

I giggled and did so.

Edward came out in navy blue dress pants, black button down shirt and navy blue tie.

He looked hot!!!

We got to his parents house and discussed our promotions and wedding.

Esme was happy we were having the wedding at her house, she told me everything they had and that the rest would be decided, by her and Alice and I was to relax and enjoy everything.

I sighed and enjoyed the rest of the evening glued the evening was wonderful.
