Chapter 12

For All My Life

Alice's POV

It was a warm, sunny day, all of us were trapped indoors. Yet, we could enjoy it in our own way. The windows and curtains were open; a breeze blew through the house, bringing with it the tangy smell of the forest outside.

Esme hummed to herself in the kitchen, rolling out dough on the counter and occasionally chiming in on Emmett and Jasper's plans. They were trying to work out a new version of poker that would challenge both of them. Outside the garage doors were open. Carlisle was admiring Rosalie's work on the car, as she filled him in on the problems and solutions she had faced.

I was sprawled out on the living room floor, surrounded by papers and pencils, drawing and paying little attention to the conversations around me, including the one upstairs.

Bella and Edward sat in Edward's room discussing his CD collection.

"I usually listen to these shelves at least once a night," Edward explained.

"What?! In one night," Bella exclaimed in disbelief, "Why so many?"

"Well I don't sleep, remember?" He responded coolly.

"Oh." There was a short pause. "If you don't sleep then why do you have a bed?"

"So you wouldn't find out I'm a vampire," he chuckled, "I bought it right before our first tutoring session."

"Really? It didn't do you very good." She laughed. "Do you lay on it or anything?"

"Not really, I might have sat on the edge once or twice," his warm voice matching the golden feeling of the orange sun-rays outside.

"Well then—" she jumped up with a mischievous smile. The mattress squeaking slightly under her weight, "—we'll have to break it in."

"Bella, we talked about this," he averted dryly.

"Get your mind out of the gutter," she chided, jumping down and fiddling with the CD player, "You know that's not what I meant."

But I knew what she meant. The vision that passed over my eyes caught my attention. It was so cute.

I abandoned my drawing, lunging for the closet that held our video camera. The rhythmic beat of the iconic Turtles' song started to play from upstairs. The low, smooth voice of the opening lyrics drifting down the hall as I clicked the device on.

At a human pace, I proceeded down the hallway towards Edward's room. The camera recording the walls and floor as they guided the way towards the out-flowing music. I turned through the doorway at the perfect time.

The tempo increased as the chorus started, and Edward and Bella were atop the bed. Holding both of each other's hand, they jumped in circles, Bella leading the charge. "I can't see me loving nobody but you, for all my life," they sang. Their faces mimicked one another, smiles pulled up to their sparkling eyes, never leaving the other's face. Their vocals loud enough to cover the sound of the mattress compressing underneath them.

Their movement slowing as the second verse began. They hunched closer together, singing in a hushed voice until the energetic chorus started again.

Bella had not noticed my presence, but Edward, who was sure to have had, did not let on. His eyes never leaving hers and taking the lead as the chorus came again. This youthful and joyous display was of nothing I had ever seen from him in all these years. He was a changed man, changed for the better.

As if oblivious to my attendance, the camera caught their passion as the song neared its end. Edward's hands had glided from hers, to her forearm and waist, capturing her lips in his.

I shut the camera off and left them be. The recording I had just taken flashing in my head. Visions where well-dressed friends and family members awed, where the star couple donned black and white formal wear, and marital flowers covers every table and chair. The future was clear.

P.S. I love reviews and questions.
