Chapter 16

Almost Time

EPOV

We had a busy few weeks ahead of us.

End of school exams, Bella and I were chaperones for Prom and we had to start working on our school plans for next year, as we were given our new positions. Bella had to get the entire first semester mapped out and what curriculum they'd be using, for the entire English department as for me, I had to get the entire schools music program together, including instruments, choir and productions. We truly had our work cut out for us. When are we going to be able to enjoy each other?

I sighed and pushed all that out of my head, one thing at a time.

It was my planning period and almost the end of the day.

Bella and I had a date tonight and I was extremely happy about that.

We hadn't had time together in weeks, so tonight was all us, cell phones were to be left at home, they knew where I was taking her if they needed to get a hold of us, well not they, but Carlisle knew, him and only him.

I smiled as the last bell rang and I waited in the hall until her class filed out.

I walked inside and she smiled, throwing her arms around me.

"I love you Mr. Cullen!" Bella yelled.

"I love you too Isabella Swan!" I yelled back.

I picked her up and swung her around.

Setting her back down, I took her arm and asked if she was ready to go.

She smiled and kissed me. Oh how I dreamed of taking her on her desk, so kinky!!!!!

BPOV

God I wanted this man so badly, right here, right now, but we couldn't!

We walked out of the classroom arm and arm, I was so excited about tonight, we hadn't been out in so long.

He had an evil grin on his face too, so I knew he was up to something.

We got to his car and I saw our weekend bags in there.

"Edward? Are we staying the night somewhere?" I asked.

"Nope!" He said popping his 'p'.

"What than?" I begged.

I knew that would get to him, he couldn't stand it when I begged.

"We're going to dinner and then away for a few days. I cleared Friday with the Principal and we're all set!" Edward sighed.

"I've got our papers, so if we feel like working, we can, but if not, that's o.k. too." he said raising his eyebrows.

We drove out to a beautiful resort, in the middle of nowhere on a lake.

It had a hotel and cabins, Edward said we had a cabin right by the lake.

He went in and registered and then drove us to our cabin.

He picked me up bridal style and carried me over the threshold 'practice makes perfect' is what he'd said.

He motioned for me to go to the bathroom and get freshened up.

When I walked out, there was the most beautiful blue satin dress hanging up.

Where had this been? I wondered.

I put it on, fixed my hair and light makeup and Edward walked in looking amazing!

He had on a black suit and a tie that matched my dress, I smiled at him.

He hitched his arm and asked 'shall we?'.

And with that, we walked out into the night air and into the resort.

What I saw totally stunned me.

A huge banner that read "Congratulations Bella & Edward"

I looked at Edward, confused and as he opened the door the ballroom, I saw all our family and friends there.

"SURPRISE!" they all yelled.

I looked at Edward, "What is all this?"

"This my dear Bella is our Wedding Weekend!"

"Tonight is our rehearsal dinner and tomorrow night we'll be married!"

"I wanted to surprise you and also, after school is out we'll be able to go away for 2

whole weeks on the grandest honeymoon you'd ever imagine!"

"Edward, how is all of this possible?"

"Esme and Alice knew how big the list was going to be and it was much more than our house could handle. So they decided to rent out the ballrooms, all 4 of them and having the wedding here. I hope you're not disappointed.?" Edward questioned me.

"No, no, I am truly surprised. It's going to be beautiful!" I started to cry.

"Shh, it's o.k. Bella, everything will be fine." Edward whispered.

"I know, it's just more than I could have ever asked for. Esme and Alice have out done themselves."

At that time, they emerged from a side room.

"Bella!!!" Alice screamed.

"Alice!" I squealed back.

"You and Esme have done a wonderful job, I don't even know how to repay you…" Alice cut me off.

"All you have to do is make my brother happy and give me some nieces and nephews." Alice giggled.

"Will do!" I answered reassuring here.

We had our dress rehearsal and dinner, followed by dancing and mingling.

Emmett walked up and frowned.

"What's up Em?" I asked.

"I don't get to give Edward a bachelor party." he said, frowning.

"Emmett, you can take him out when we return from our honeymoon o.k.?" I said.

"Really? Are you serious?" he was shouting, I was shaking my head.

With that Emmett walked away, happy as a five year old with a Happy Meal!

Alice informed me I'd be staying with her tonight, as I couldn't see Edward tomorrow until the wedding.

I tried to protest, but it didn't work.

They were obviously telling Edward the same thing, he came running across the dance floor and grabbed me, spinning me around and kissing me, "I'll see you soon Mrs. Cullen", Edward whispered to me.

I gave him one last kiss, until Emmett came and carried Edward away.

Alice pulled me off the dance floor and too her room.

She informed me that we'll be getting up early, we have Spa appointments.

I gave Alice a huge hug and told her thank you multiple times, I couldn't believe that they'd pulled this off.

I slowly drifted into sleep.

EPOV

Ugh! I couldn't sleep.

I kept thinking of My Bella.

She looked so beautiful tonight, I couldn't keep my eyes off of her, nor could any other male in the house.

I didn't like that idea, but I was at least happy that she was mine and they were all jealous.

I couldn't wait to see her in her wedding dress! If she looked beautiful in that gown, her wedding dress was sure to be a knock out!

All Bella told me of the dress, was that it was a romantic, summer dress.

God she was going to kill me when I saw her, I'll be putty in her hands.

I finally drifted to sleep, dreaming of Bella walking down the aisle and kissing me for the first time as

Mrs. Edward Cullen, it made me smile.
