Its Midnight...so that means...Happy Valentires Day everyone! (I personally hate the holiday but still...) Here is Chapter Five...
(Disclaimer on my profile)
What to get my Valentine?
Hmm…it smells like roses…
….Roses?
Slowly opening one eye, I took a look, only to nearly fall off my bed at the sight. There had to have been maybe six dozen roses of three different colors beside my bed. Yawning, I searched for a card. Finally finding one, I opened it to find in simple non-Edward print:
Happy Valentines Day Love
Spend the day with Alice (Sorry love)
And be ready for me by quarter till six.
Love you lots!
E
Spend the day with Alice? Oh my…he's got to be joking.
Oh he wasn't joking. As soon as had my human moment, i.e. I showered, put on clothes, and ate breakfast…Alice showed up at my door.
"Alice!" I said as she dragged me away.
"I swear Bella, I'm not going to hurt you," she said, giving me a smile.
Ha! Yeah right. She tweezed, she waxed…she powdered, she glossed me…she nearly burned me with the flat iron and THEN the curling iron. Alice went all out…only to make me look simple.
"Alice, I spent my entire day," I said, walking in the ballet flats, "to look almost like I did before?"
"Oh hush," Alice said, "I think you look beautiful. And no you don't look like you did when you woke up this morning."
I nearly growled at her but instead I saw Edward. He wasn't dressed like he was when he was at New Years but I still thought he looked H-O-T. He was wearing slacks and a black turtleneck sweater. –gr!– Guys have it so easy when it came to dressing.
"Wow," Edward said, spotting me. "Bella…you look beautiful."
I blushed as he went to kiss my cheek.
"I have to thank Carol for helping me pick out the dress."
"Now hold on…you had Carol Marcie help you pick out that dress instead of me!?" Alice said.
"Who's Carol?" I asked.
Alice really did growl at Edward before heading into the kitchen with a humph.
Edward was smiling when he said, "Carol was Alice's enemy when it came to shopping."
"Oh," I said. "So why did you ask Carol instead of your sister?"
"Because she has a big mouth."
"I HEARD THAT!" Alice shouted from the kitchen.
I smiled.
"Come on, we can talk in the car," he said.
Edward drove us out of Forks when I finally asked where we we're going, noting Edward's rather fast speed.
"Port Angeles to take a flight to Seattle," he said with a small smile.
"Oh…er…why?"
He chuckled. "You'll have to wait and see."
I growled which only made him chuckle again. We talked about many things, mostly about him and college. We arrived in Port Angeles an hour later at the airport.
"Private plane?" I asked as we boarded a small plane to head to Seattle. There were a few other couples spread out through the plane.
"Hmm, you can say that," Edward said.
"Gagh! Edward, why are you doing this?"
Edward blinked.
"Doing what?"
Okay I growled now and flopped back into my seat. Edward had the nerve to just smile.
"Can't I just doing something nice for my girl?"
Okay I might be upset at the fact that Edward was spending money on me but the fact he called me his girl made me want to smile.
"I guess," I said, "But I feel bad that I haven't—" I stopped suddenly and looked out the window, trying to cover up what I was about to say. "Oh look we're about to take off."
"Bella," Edward said, touching my chin and made him look back at him. I bit my lip. "Its okay if you didn't get me anything."
"I know, I know," I said, looking away from him.
"Bella," he said close to my ear. I felt his lips next to my ear, touching it as he said, "Just the fact you're here, that you love me…that's all I want."
I turned my head and look at him.
"Okay what did I do to deserve you?" I said.
Edward laughed.
"I could say the same thing," Edward said, running his nose down my neck.
I giggled. Yes giggled…I was ticklish.
The flight was short…maybe an hour. Once there, Edward drove somewhere, one hand on the wheel and the other holding my hand.
"We're here," he said as we pulled up to a beautiful looking building.
"Canlis?" I asked.
He nodded and got out as the valet attendant opened the door for him. Thanking the other attendant for opening the door, I got out as careful as I could and surprisingly didn't trip.
"Hello, welcome to Canlis," said the hostess, smiling.
"Hi, reservations for Cullen," Edward said, wrapping one arm around my waist.
I saw the hostess narrow her eyes at his arm but quickly disguised it by looking down at her list.
"Ah yes, this way," she said and then lead the way.
She led us to a private little area, semi-dark. With a final smile, she said, "Your server will be Zach. Enjoy."
Well…it seems she wasn't happy with me, I thought taking my seat. I picked up the menu and just stared…I didn't know what half of this was.
"Um…Edward," I whispered, leaned toward him across the table.
He looked up from his menu.
"I don't know what any of this is," I whispered.
He smiled. "Want me to order for you?"
"Er…please?"
He chuckled.
Our waiter was Zach and he took our order; bringing out non-alcohol drinks (we were minors duh!) and writing down what Edward was ordering. Dungeness Crab Cakes? The Canlis Salad? Pacific King Salmon? Filet Mignon?! Gagh! How much was Edward going to pay for dinner?!
"Edward," I whispered as the waiter went away.
"Bella, relax," he said, taking my hand. "I swear you're going to love it."
I relaxed but only slightly. Edward had gone over and beyond what one would normally do for Valentines Day. But as soon as I took a bite of the crab cake that Edward and I were going to share, all I thought was "mmmmmmm, yummy."
The entire dinner was as Edward said. I loved it. And even dessert, Chocolate Lava Cake that me and Edward shared again was delicious. By the end of the night, I wanted to know exactly what I did to deserve Edward.
"So," Edward asked me as I cuddled against his side while we flew back to Port Angeles, "did you have a wonderful time?"
"Hmm, yes," I said, cuddling more into his warmth.
Edward chuckled. Touching my chin and bringing my face upward, Edward gave me one lingering kiss before whispering. "Happy Valentines Day, Bella."
-sigh-
"Love you Edward," I whispered back.
"Love you too," he whispered before continuing to kiss me.
Valentines Day couldn't have been more perfect…except I could have thought of a gift. –gr!– Oh well.
Haha! MartaSwan was the first and only person who was able to guess what Carol did. So I got to give props to her.
I hoped you guys like the story. I might to a sequel where Bella plans to give him gifts...so send me gift ideas. If I do that story it will be posted during March...hopefully...
Like I said, Happy Valentines Day.
Huggles,
Nollie
