I woke up with the sun shinning brightly on my face right through my closed eyelids
I woke up with the sun shinning brightly on my face right through my closed eyelids. I was so warm and comfortable that I didn't even want to open my eyes. I rolled over on my side and pulled the blankets over my already messy hair.
After my slight movement in the bed I realized that I didn't feel quite right. Every bone in my body seemed to ache. But something else was wrong. But what? I felt like something was missing. Like, I don't know, like I was naked or something. With my head still under the blankets I rubbed my eyes open only to see that I was dressed in something different.
I gasped; yanking the covers from over my head. That lowlife! He would do something like this! Now fully awake I sat up in the bed, pulling the blankets up to my neck scanning my surroundings. And what I saw scared me even more.
The bed I laid in was a not merely a small twin size like my own, but a king size, like Edward's. And the thin sheets that I protectively held up to cover my bare body were that of pure silk, also like Edward's. This was Edward's room.
I felt a hot blush come over my face as I realized that I was in his bed. Embarrassed I shook my head and cursed myself for thinking such ill thoughts.
I looked around the room more thoroughly. I could see that the golden light that had woken me up was touching all the objects in the magnificent enormous room. It was beautiful. It was like a vision of something from a dream. The room had a high-ceiling that was gracefully proportioned. The walls were a creamy white. And in the corner of the room there sat a vast fireplace that was burning away every piece of wood in it, making a soft crackling sound that turned out to be very southing to my ears.
Even though I was comfortable, I felt uncomfortable on the inside, do to the fact that I was not only in Edward's room, but I also didn't know where my clothes were.
"Good afternoon Bella, I trust you slept well?"
I jumped as quick tingle of fright coursed throughout my entire body. My heart took off into a racing beat. My stomach was now full of butterflies as I recognized the voice too well to question whose it might be. Edward, my mind quickly whispered to me.
I looked to the direction I head the voice and saw Edward sitting on a chair in the corner of the bedchamber, next to the bookshelf that had somehow escaped my inspection of the room. In is lap laid open a small leather bound book, to which he quickly closed it and placed it on the table next to him.
Why did he always have to look so gorgeous all the time? Even with his hair not fully combed he still managed to pull off the dazzling look of an angle. Darn him!
"I said, good afternoon Bella, did you sleep well?" He asked again as he stood, and crossed the room over to where I was, taking a seat right next to me on the bed.
Unconsciously pulling the sheets closer and tighter to my body I answered him, "y-y-yes?- I mean yes I did. I did eat well, I mean sleep well." Dam him! Dam his dazzling face! Dam his golden eyes! Making me stutter like an idiot!
Edward let out an attractive express of amusement with a soft chuckle. "Excellent. I would have woken you up sooner, but on pain of death I choose not to. I thought you would be hungry, so I took the liberty of-"
Rudely interrupting, on purpose, "Where are my clothes?" I demanded.
Trying to ignore my rude interruption, instead of snapping my neck in two, his cheeks rose with a wicked grin planted on his lips. "Well they certainly aren't on you"
"I didn't ask where they weren't, I asked where they are! Stop avoiding the question."
"Oh, very well Bella, I threw them away. I hope you don't mind. I thought you would like something nicer to wear.
I looked away, feeling another blush coming on. It irritated my insides that he had the power to do this to me. And it's not like he tried really hard, it simply came natural to him. Looking out the window, I desired nothing more than freedom. I could feel the tears gathering in my throat and quickly gulped them back.
Edward, like always, was the first one to break the long silence. "Perhaps you would like a bath first Bella. After you have washed, I shall have new clothes waiting for you. A bath did sound nice, along with fresh clean clothes. I looked at Edward like a child that had just been told if they brushed their teeth they would receive a piece of candy.
As if reading my very thoughts Edward got up and handed me a white cotton robe. I took it and covered my self up. The smell was amazing, the smell of Edward. I slipped my legs out the side of the bed and collapsed to the floor as soon as I put my weight on them. Wincing in pain I tried to get up, but realized I couldn't. My legs would simply not support me. They still ached from the night before.
I felt Edward's pair of strong arms wrap around my body and lift me up as if I were a cotton doll of some sort. I wrapped my arms around his neck as and my head bobbled against his shoulder as he walked to the bathroom. Of course, what was even better then sniffing the robe? Sniffing the one who wore the rope. Simply intoxicating!
He led me into the bathroom, which not surprisingly, was also massive. The marble floors, the pale blue walls, and the enormous whorl pool that was planted in the middle. Then before I had time to take in the rest of the bathroom I felt the only cover I had being swiftly removed. My reaction was slower than I planned as I reached to grab it but he had already yanked it off and then threw it to the back wall.
"Hey! What are you doing!?" I screamed hitting him as hard as I could on his chest. Which as obviously of no use. "Put me down, NOW! I demand you put me down right now!"
"You demand?" He said as he let out a soft chuckle. Pulling me up into his rock hard chest, he put his lips to my ear and whispered, "I don't think you are in a position to demand anything Bella." He smiled, again. I thought of my father. "Unless, you think you are."
"Please stop" I barley said over a whisper. After a moment he stopped, looking down at my disturbed and flushed face. "Edward, please, please don't-" My words were cut off as he planted a quick soft kiss on my lips.
He walked over to the pool and motioned for me to get in. I walked over and got into the warm lavender smelling water. He stared down at me with a smirk.
"I will have you Bella, you are mine, and you will always be mine."
I simply looked at him, thankful I had made it to the tub with out compromising my father's freedom.
"Say it Bella. Say you are mine and no other's."
I looked to the walls of the bathroom, anywhere to look was better than at him.
"Say it Bella" He insisted again.
"I belong to no one." I said with sheer defiance in my voice.
"What?" He said as if suppressing an explosion that had taken place inside him.
"You heard me"
"Yes, well I had hoped you would take it back if I gave you another chance. Well no matter, we will see if you hold your same attitude by the end of tonight. I have a surprise for you." His eyes beamed, as my breath caught in my throat.
"What?"
"You heard me" he said turning around and slowly sauntering to the door. "Be sure to wash well Bella, you will want to look you best for your surprise."
"What is it?" I asked scared to even find out what he was planning.
"Now, now Bella, everybody knows if I were to tell you it wouldn't be a surprise, would it? Besides tonight is not that far off, surly you can wait until then."
I opened my mouth to ask another question, but cut me off before I even spoke.
"No more questions Bella, I promise you will find out soon enough." But that did not make me give up.
"Will I like it?" He looked slightly irrigated that I had ignored his warning and persisted on. Then he smiled like I had never seen him smile like before. It stretched from ear to ear. I saw something pass through his eyes which looked like pure excitement.
"That is for me to know, and you to find out." He quickly left before I could ask another question. What a half –ass response. What could this present be? He has never given me any surprise. Never! I picked up one of the wash clothes that had already been placed on the side of the pool/tub for me. I buttered it up with soap which smelled of cherries and vanilla, and began to wash. I had no choice but to wait until tonight. It was obvious he wasn't going to tell me. To tell the truth overall I was afraid to figure out what I was, but I did have a slight hint of excitement. I curiosity had to be satisfied. I stepped out of the tub and into a fluffy white cotton towel that had also been laid out for me. On the back of the door hung a fancy black dress with shoes to match it. Darn, they were high heels. I was not good in high heels.
Well at least the dress is somewhat descent. Oh wait I spoke too soon, there was a big slit up the side of the dress. It was a V neck dress that would probably not cover much up front. I first put on the lacy red underwear and bra he had folded up on the counter, muttering to myself how much of a pervert he was. Then with a heavy sigh I slipped the dress on. It was perfect fit! Even I have never been able to find a perfect fit. But somehow Edward always managed to do the impossible. I then slipped on the black diamond high heels. Also a perfect fit.
I looked in the mirror and couldn't deny that I did look pretty in the outfit. If I do say so myself. The last thing left out for me was brush. I comb through my hair with ease. I liked my hair down. Plus there was nothing to put it up with anyway. I looked towards the door, and slowly reached for the knob. Ok, here I go. I turned the knob and prepared myself mentally for what was to come.
