It Only Hurts A Minute

By Ajazzy

I woke up in my new home at Edward's house. Ever since my personal Greek God proposed to me, I really found no reason to continue to live with Charlie. He hadn't taken the new of our engagement very well, but after some coaxing from me and Edward --- even though I think Alice might have had something to do with it --- he finally agreed, giving me his blessing and is even going to walk me down the isle.

"Good morning my angel," Edward voice rang through my ears causing my just-waking mind to become even more incoherent.

It took a minute to transfer thoughts to words, "Good morning." was all I could managed to say to his constantly poetic words.

"You know I hate to leave you in her clutched, but Alice has something planned for you to do with her before the wedding."

I grimaced, "Shopping again?"

"Actually, no not this time at least." he said leaning into me as his scent flooding and penetrating the essence of my being. He gently pushed his cool marble lips to mine while my head spun. I was suddenly jerked out of my fantasy by an urgent Alice from behind the door.

"Bella, come on we're going to miss the appointment." her muffled voice rang in.

I gulped and looked at Edward apprehensively. He shook his head, "I have no idea, she's been blocking her thoughts all morning."

"Bella," Alice chimed in again, "hurry up, I'm not kidding, I will come in there and drag you out myself if necessary."

"Okay," I sighed in defeat, knowing she was serious, "but let me take a shower first."

Alice sighed an angry sigh, "Fine."

I rushed to the bathroom and turned on the water, knowing I needed to go as fast as I could or Alice would barge in here and take me, ready or not, and I might end up sprawled on the floor half naked if I didn't do as she said. I got in and thought of where Alice was possibly taking me. I stepped out of the shower and slipped on a royal blue sweater and a pair of jeans. I brushed through my hair once to rid it of tangles and pulled it into a ponytail at the nape of my neck.

I was surprised when I opened the door and noticed Edward was nowhere to be found. He usually waited on his bed for me. I heard slight yelling downstairs and immediately recognized the voice as Edward. I heard someone else trying to calm him, Alice maybe, no it was Rosalie. Now I was curious. I scurried down the stairs and saw Edward, Alice and Rosalie all yelling, standing in a circle. I crawled under Edward's arm.

"What's going on?" I asked quietly, knowing they would hear me.

"Well Bella," Rosalie looked at Edward harshly before turning to face me with sweet eyes, "I made a seemingly harmless comment and now Edward thinks your life is in jeopardy."

I grimaced.

"Tell her what you said Rose," Edward's tone icy and sharp, it made Goosebumps appear all over my body. "I guarantee she will feel the same way I do."

Rosalie started calmly, "All I said was, with where Alice is taking you, I hope you're not a bleeder."

I cringed and felt Edward stiffen next to me.

Rosalie continued, "But Bella trust me, you're in no danger for your life, like I said it was a harmless comment. Ask Alice, no danger whatsoever."

I turned to Alice. She looked like she was trying to hide a smirk. I was about to question her, but Edward beat me to it. "Alice?" he said as calmly as possible given the current situation.

"Edward, I promise, I will cause Bella no pain, or for her to bleed." Alice said, obviously trying to pick her words carefully.

"Alice you will not be able to leave this house with my Bella," Edward continued, I still loved the way he said my Bella, it made me feel like I truly belonged, "unless you tell me where you're going, and what you'll be doing there, and why it might cause Bella to bleed."

"It was supposed to be a surprise, but if you're that concerned." Alice said as she latched her eyes to Edward's. I knew she was telling, or showing him exactly where we we're going, it was aggravating that everyone knew but me now.

I heard a small growl come out of Edward's chest, but suddenly and unexpectedly he turned towards me and grinned wickedly. I grimaced. I knew I was in trouble now.

"Okay, fine, I may not agree with putting Bella through that, but if it will help how you think it will, I agree. You have an hour and a half," Edward's melodic voice sang. Oh great, I was in for pain, how great. "An hour and a half, before I go down there and get her myself."

Alice giggled and continued, "Edward, do you think Bella would like you seeing her in uhh that state?"

"Two hours."

Alice squealed happily before grabbing my arm and pulling me out the door. Edward stood in the doorway, smiling. I waved and gave me a 'save me' look, but he just chuckled and waved.

I was barely sitting in the canary yellow Porsche before Alice was pulling out of the driveway, already over the speed limit.

"Alice, can you please tell me where we're going now?" I was feeling a bit nervous.

"Okay Bella, but only if you promise not to freak out." Not nervous was getting to be a bit of an understatement, but I nodded anyway.

"Well you know your wedding is coming up next week right?" Yes, I obviously knew that. I nodded again.

"Well, you know what else is coming up?" I thought for a few seconds, but Alice obviously thought I wasn't fast enough and answered for me.

"Obviously, after your wedding day, you're going to have your wedding night."

I felt the blood rush to my furiously after Alice mentioned the first time me and Edward will be together, intimately for the first time. Where could we possibly going where that that fact is important?

"Well," she continued, "I know Edward is going to love it no matter what because he'll finally get to be with you." My blush burning brighter now, I was sure of it. "But I think it might help your self esteem if we got you… well…. Uh….. Cleaned up a bit."

I was so confused. Was I dirty or something? I didn't think so, no one had ever mentioned it, and I know Emmett would point it out if I was. And by God, what does any of this have to do with me and Edward's wedding night?

I hadn't noticed we had been parked. I looked up at where we were and realization dawned on me. I could scream. This was the worst possible thing Alice could do. Was she serious? She couldn't be. I just stared at her and that wicked smile Edward wore earlier was know present on her face.

I knew I was doomed.
