A/N: It's finally here. It took me a week and countless reviews urging me to continue the story. Be thankful for my sudden burst of creativity. If it's not good enough for you, then I'm very sorry. I was in a rush. Have fun!
BELLA
I couldn't put my finger on it, but I was very sure that Edward was acting very strange. First of all, he was acting very jittery which was completely out of character for him, and then he kept insisting that I should sleep, on our honeymoon! Normally, I would have kept on thinking about this little problem, but when I stepped foot inside the master's bedroom, I quickly forgot about Edward's unusual behavior.
Before me stood the most glorious bedroom I've ever laid eyes on. In the center sat an enormous bed covered in golden silk brocade sheets with pillows of the same material arranged on top. Above it hung a painting of the mountains that looked vividly realistic at first glance. Across the room stood a massive stone fireplace that made the room much cozier than it already was. The window, which was more likely a glass wall, showed the large expanse of the mountainside and if you squint your eyes a little, you would definitely see beyond the horizon.
I ran giddily around the room touching and feeling every surface of the antique furniture. I remembered then that I was supposed to go to sleep so I went inside the door at the far end of the room where the bathroom and closet were located. When I got inside I couldn't help but gasp at the sight. The closet was definitely larger than my old room back at Forks and one side held my clothes while the other held Edward's. Before we left, Alice assured me that we didn't need to bring anything because everything was ready for us here. Winter clothes lined a part of my side of the closet while the rest were clothes that I could wear inside the house. On a chair in front of the vanity mirror lined with almost all known beauty products to man, sat a little paper bag with a pink little note attached to it.
I walked over and read the note.
You'll need this. I picked this out for the first night! It matches the bedspread, don't you think?
Love,
Alice
I looked inside the bag and found a skimpy red green negligee that only a Victoria's Secret model could pull off. Only Alice could foresee the need for lingerie. I hoped she didn't see any more than that. I thought twice about wearing it. Edward seemed a little insistent on telling me to sleep and I was starting to agree with him.
I was going to put it away then I noticed that the tag was still on with another note was written on it.
There's an energy bar inside your suitcase. No sleep for you tonight! Call us in the morning and tell your new sisters all about it!
Love,
Alice and Rosalie
I felt myself blush at the thoughts that came in my mind. It figures Alice and Rosalie would have the ability to make me feel embarrassed all the way across the country. I put the negligee down and started undoing my dress. I slipped on the negligee and pulled out the pins in my hair and let it fall down. I searched my suitcase for that energy bar and took a large bite out of it.
I took a look in the mirror and it was like I saw a different person. With my make-up still on and my hair in disarray, I looked like a sultry vixen. I flashed a smile at myself and then discovered that my teeth was now covered in chocolate bits. I brushed my teeth and then checked my teeth again. I chuckled to myself and went back into the bedroom. I positioned myself on the bed, trying to find a pose that would make Edward crazy.
I thought about it again and decided to go under the covers. No, no, no. He'll think I'm ready to sleep. I took off the covers and replaced them again. I walked around the bed and then stubbed my toe on the post.
"Ow!" I exclaimed while jumping around on one foot. Then I heard the door click open and then I quickly jumped on the bed.
By the expression on Edward's face, I was sure the unexpected position was a lot to take in. Why wouldn't it be? I was lying face down on the bed with my butt arched and my hands propped up in front of me. I looked like a frickin' porn star.
"Hi, darling!" I said to him sheepishly as I turned over.
"D-d-darling! I thought you were asleep?" said Edward.
"On the contrary," I said to him as I shifted into a more comfortable sitting position. "I don't feel sleepy at all!"
"I-I-I see…" said Edward. He didn't look at all like a man who was ready to ravish his wife. In fact he looked like he looked terrified.
"Aren't you coming to bed?" I asked while patting the spot next to me.
"I, I, I need to brush my teeth first!" He dashed off towards the bathroom and I could've sworn I heard the lock click. What was going on?
I sat up on the bed and waited patiently for Edward to return. Three minutes. Ten minutes. I felt the comings of a yawn and forced myself to suppress it but to no avail. I wanted to take a bite of that energy bar again but I left it inside the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes. Twenty minutes.
EDWARD
I'm a fool. A stupid, stupid fool. How could I not take this lovely creature and make her mine tonight?
Will the heavens never cease to torture me? There was my wife in a shiny green nightgown in a very enticing position. I remembered one of Emmett's playboy magazines right then.
I felt that usual sensation inside my trousers that came up most of the time when Bella dared me to go further than my limits. We were married now. There were no more limits.
I paced around the bathroom trying to find a way out of this mess. I thought about turning Bella into a vampire while she slept. The idea was thrown out the window quickly. First of all I couldn't do it without Carlisle here. Second of all, Carlisle won't approve of my decision. And third, Bella will never, ever, ever, forgive me.
Why did I have to be a vampire? I couldn't use human excuses. I can't say I'm too tired, or that I need to use the bathroom. If I could read Bella's mind, I was sure she was thinking why I needed to brush my teeth since I don't have any cavities or bad breath.
I bumped into Bella's suitcase and it opened. A paper bag was peeking out of it and as much as I loathed myself for doing it, I peeked inside. It was empty except for a pink piece of paper and discarded price tag. I noticed there was some writing on it.
A low growl escaped my lips when I saw both of the notes. Immediately my cell phone started vibrating.
"You sneaky little…" Before I could finish, my sister's perky little voice interrupted me.
"Hey pot! I'm kettle. I believe you called me black."
"That was a low trick." I told her. I heard a distinct click on the other end and heard Rosalie's voice.
"Naughty, naughty brother. I expected you to at least be a gentleman and acknowledge Bella's wishes."
"What are you talking about? She didn't ask for anything!" I retorted. "And would you please stop putting me on speakerphone!"
"You are such a guy, Edward! Don't you know anything?" said Alice. "And you're not on speakerphone. We're on a call conference."
"That makes it much more private, then." I said sarcastically.
"Emmett, talk to Edward. Tell him a thing or two about girls." Rosalie ordered. I heard some scuffling on the other end and then heard my brother's booming voice.
"They're right, Edward," said Emmett. "It took me twenty years to get it but it seems that girls don't tell you exactly what they want. They tend to use alien girl language that they expect us to understand."
"What? I cannot believe this! You're giving me advice on women!" I yelled in a whisper.
"I don't have that problem since I can feel women's desires before they even act on it."
"Jasper! You might as well put me on speakerphone! Call mom and dad while you're at it!" I muttered. I heard a small beep after that.
"We're here, Edward," said Esme.
"What do you need to talk about with us, son?" asked Carlisle.
"I was being sarcastic!" I complained. "I can't deal with this right now. I'll just go out there and tell Bella how I feel about this."
"Urgh! You're too late!" said Alice. I grumbled a quick goodbye and closed the phone. I peeked out of the door and saw Bella sleeping peacefully on top of the covers. As pathetic as it sounds, I breathed a sigh of relief knowing that I wouldn't have sex with my wife tonight.
"Idiot!"
Please read and review!
Thanks so much!
