not done baking- HAHA! You have no idea how happy that makes me(: Ms. Perfectionist? Haha Thank you so much!
VioletWilson- Thank you for the idea! I used it! Sort of. Haha it'll continue to next chapter too. Hope you enjoy!
Elven at Heart- The stupid Spanish test cut me off, but I hope this is a wee bit longer? Haha thank you!
iheartsiriusblack2412- I KNOWWW ISN'T ITTTT I just thought Edward like combing her hair through his fingers before she goes to bed and how cute and how lovey and how- yeah, awww it's great that you loved it. Well, Charlie wants Bella to be 'sure' when she married Edward. Like, couples when they live together they get annoyed, pissed off, etc. But we all know Bella and Edward can't possibly be 'annoyed' so I thought it was somewhat ironic. Thank you!
waterfall1025- Thank you and I hope you enjoy the update!
amobutterfly25- haha EXACTLY. I think it's hilarious. Thank you so much!
garuboi- your reviews make my day. Well, I haven't really thought about who has a 'control' over the relationship. I don't even know actually- since their relationship don't really seem to have such a big difference in 'order.' Edward does somewhat has his control while Bella's strong character has her own control- weird. Haha and yes, SEX might be a big thing in the fic. But since the author always has Edward as the 'holding back' type, I don't know if I should change that and throw in a lemon- or just not. Maybe by popular demand haha just kidding? I think I got a 'C' on my test. Damn. Well, I do have other works, just not under this category. Haha thank you soo much!
Author's Note: MY UPDATES ARE ON FIREEEEEEE. I never updated so much before, but it's the reviewers that keep me going! Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy chapter!
Love Life
I looked over and the mileage was over 60. A 60. On a local- only possible with the driving of Edward Cullen. I felt like my seatbelt wasn't on properly but I was too scared to take it off, and squash it on again. I mean, I did tell him to drive faster because…
"Alice started to make a list."
"Oh my- What's on it?"
"Let's see… Five different clocks on one wall for the international time? A water bed?" Then he began to laugh.
"What? What is it?"
"She's about to make an appointment to take wedding pictures."
"This is crazy. Go faster!"
"I thought you'd never ask, love."
So here we are, or there we were- passing through innocent cars and cutting them off lane by lane. Besides, this small town already knew Edward drove a bit …fast, in his S60, it almost seemed like they were moving away on purpose. In what would have taken me 20 minutes, Edward took seven and we arrived at his mansion.
I got out of the car and rushed my way to their door. My hand automatically reached for the knob and finding it unlocked, I left my self in. I tripped on the doorstep for such rush and I heard Edward chuckle behind me.
"Careful." He whispered, placing his hands on my waist.
It was either the fact that his cool fingers rested on my side flesh, or the fact that Jasper was toying with my emotions since from then I felt such aura of calm peace. I saw a blonde figure walk out and then I was sure it was Jasper since Alice followed with her tongue sticking out. Jasper wore a clean blue flannel over black jeans while Alice wore a tight grey v-neck with a pair of dark jeans. In such casual clothes they still looked elegant and collected, but Alice's quiet giggle helped me focus.
"I already called in an appointment, Bella. I mean, I am your bridesmaid." She had a victorious face and her perfect teeth gleamed at my direction. She hid behind Jasper just in case I was ready to attack- which I was.
"You and your fortune telling psychic business- You!" I tried to curse but Jasper was already working on me.
"Jasper, let her be." I heard Edward chuckle at Jasper. Jasper then let out a small laughter and pushed Alice to confront me. I saw Alice give away her cute fidget but I tried to ignore all her charms- which also, was almost impossible to do.
"Don't you want to take a gorgeous picture in a gorgeous wedding dress? With a gorgeous scenery and a gorgeous husband- I mean, you might be 'pretend' living but you are getting married you know."
"Enough, Alice. I want you to cancel that appointment right now."
Alice then gave me the most shocking face ever, as if I told her I was going to die in ten hours. Actually, I wouldn't mind dying in ten hours if I was going to take that picture any time soon.
Then after a few minutes, Alice slowly turned with a numb expression on her face and headed back to where she came from. Her footsteps were heavy as if she was trudging down the road and she never looked back. She added a few sniffs on the way. I looked at Jasper who was standing right in front of me, and he watched Alice in her depressing walk and he gave off a short smirk. I then looked at Edward who put his fist in front of his mouth to somewhat cover up all the laughter he's holding. I looked at Jasper again and he looked at me, he smiled and I swear I saw him wink.
"Don't ever dare Jasper. Stay out of my emotions," I snapped and he smiled even bigger.
I sighed. Edward then laughed as if he could read my thoughts.
"Alice- Come back here." I called out slowly, and like how everyone expected, Alice turned around in a flash and gave me the biggest puppy eyes I'd ever seen. Being a vampire and all- she was no close to scary, gory, whatever else. She was so adorable, and I couldn't help thinning my lips to a smile.
"Yes, Bella?" She gently spoke, still trudging, but more in a dancing type of way.
"We can go take pictures…" I whispered and I heard her squeal in a sweet melody. I sighed once more and I felt Alice run into my arms to give me a tight hug to the point of a heart attack. Edward finally stepped in to save me and Alice then whispered a 'sorry' as she pulled away. Edward hugged me from behind to let me stand and find balance.
"Where's everyone else?" I asked once my heart was beating normally.
"Esme went painting shopping. She wants to buy one for you guys too. Carlisle's at work, Emmet and Rosalie's out for who knows what." Alice replied, walking toward the couch. I noticed that Jasper was already sitting- I guess he found himself a nice place to watch me get strangled in his own girlfriend's grasp. Edward and I walked over the couch also and found our selves a seat.
"So- did you check out the condo?" Alice of course started our conversation.
I shook my head and gave her a fuming look. "We rushed over here to stop you and your list."
"Oh! I almost forgot!" She giggled, taking out a piece of paper from her left jean pocket. "Thanks for reminding me." I groaned and both Edward and Jasper laughed.
"I actually wouldn't mind a water bed." Edward whispered into my ears, but I was sure both Alice and Jasper heard since they gave him a dirty look. I looked at him confused, and Edward simply winked.
"But if you think about it, it might be a bit cold. Edward's skin and all, then the water bed and the vinyl like cover- it might be too icy for Bella." Alice pointed out, not talking to us but to Jasper. Jasper simply nodded and watched Alice cross out the rough draft lovingly.
"Why the clocks Alice?" I managed to ask, remembering the five of them.
"I don't know. Wouldn't you want to know what time it is in France, in Japan, in-"
"I don't care Alice. I just want to know what time it is in here." I replied as Jasper and Edward laughed once more over the pen scratching the paper to cross out another item.
"You know what!" Alice then stood up, having all three of us watch her in curiosity.
"Why don't we just go shopping together? I'll call Carlisle to let him know that we'll be buying the furniture."
"I'll do that." Jasper stood up next, walking over to the phone.
I looked at Edward and he looked at me with his attractive smirk. If I was there to 'guide' Alice's crazy shopping ideas, we might be able to get our house look actually 'decent'- and if Edward followed, it sounded like a good plan. Edward pecked my lips to wake me up from my thoughts and I stood up after, nodding to Alice's proposal. She gave me a priceless smile and she went upstairs, probably to change.
I let out a small whimper and leaned my head on Edward's firm shoulders as he gave out a snort. He turned his posture to face me and lifted my chin to look right into my eyes.
"My in-laws are crazy." I whimpered again and Edward sweetly laughed.
"But they love you so much." Edward replied, moving his cool hands to my cheek, holding my entire face.
It was amazing how comfortable I felt even when I was so close to Edward. The fact that I could just stare into his eyes when I was only a inch away, even though I felt like I was going to melt any minute by his looks.
"I know." I smiled and watched his eyes blink now and then.
"But I love you the most." Edward then had a serious look on his face and I almost spat out a laughter.
"I know that too." And he concluded with a gentle kiss on my lips, short but oh so sweet.
Alice was back with a pair of black jeans like Jasper's and a tight, maroon cashmere sweater over a white tank top. She always looked beautiful no matter what clothes and she skipped to where Jasper was. I saw them share some words and gave each other this simple but mesmerizing smile- then walk over to the door where Edward and I now stand.
We got in Edward's car and Jasper told him the directions to the store Carlisle told us to go. Then Alice suggested that we should go to the condo first, then the stop to help us actually visualize when we buy things- which was actually another good idea. It just happened that the store was right in front of the condo so Edward found a good parking spot and we walked over to the small apartment. No wonder Charlie said something about everything being delivered by today. The store was right across from the house.
At a quick glance the condo was white- but as we walked closer it was this warm crème color accented with light brown and a mustard hue. There was a balcony on the side and from a few plants and chairs on the second and fifth floor, there were few people living in here already. We walked over to the manager's room and the manager was this grandma with cute white curls in her hair, living with her kitty- Tom. She somehow recognized me as Charlie's daughter and she gave us a spare key to the third floor. We went up the stairs quietly and found our room, 323. Alice handed me the key and I turned to look at the rest whom all had a smile on their face. I blew out a gentle sigh and turned the lock of the brown door.
As soon as the door opened, the first thing you'd see is the large window looking out to the tall trees we used to hike. The walls were clean in white and the living room was not too big, but the size of comfort and serenity. Alice quietly clapped and Edward's hand gently pushed me inside. The kitchen was on our right, connected from the living room, a bit small but perfect for a couple- with a dishwasher, oven, stove, and few cabinets. There was a small hallway on the left and I saw Edward walk in while I was staring at the kitchen once more. Alice followed me and Jasper just looked out the window as if he was looking for something. Alice then pulled me down the same hallway Edward went into and to our left there was a bathroom with a nice bathtub, faucet and toilet all facing the same way. Then a bit more down there was the bedroom on the left, big enough for two beds to fit, even a bookshelf and a desk. There was a closet built in the back and another window facing the corner street. Edward smiled and I smiled back, content. The end of the hall way was a storage room it seemed, since it was a bit too tiny to hold anything.
"Bella-" I heard Jasper call my name and all three of us went out to the living room where Jasper's been. He somehow found a way to open the window on the side to our way of the balcony- where a cold breeze ran through the four of us.
We all looked at each other, and then gave off a small laughter- just for no reason.
"I love it, Edward." I managed to speak out and he pulled me in for a hug. I saw Jasper pull Alice for a hug also, in the corner of my eye.
"Now- who's ready for shopping?"
The three of us groaned at Alice's hyperactivity and laughed once more.
The managed allowed me to keep the key and we thanked her, walking back out to the store right across the street. The shop was empty without any customers, but the furniture was all really unique and colorful- unexpected from Carlisle's taste.
"I bet Esme told Carlisle about this place." I heard Edward chuckle as Alice murmured.
No wonder- the colors and the unique artsy style was directly from Esme's choice. Over all the sofas, the bed, even the loveseats were all comfortable looking- just the way I wanted them.
Jasper talked to one of the workers and they promised to deliver it by tonight. Everything was happening a bit fast, but it all just felt like a bliss. It was then I felt Edward's fingers curl into mine, holding it tight- and I knew, this was the way it was supposed to be.
I think i need a idea for what Emmet and Rosalie were doing when they were out. haha and i have a idea of Esme's painting so be prepared for something a bit sexual? haha remember folks- i do not own any of this, but it is some fanfic some girl wrote so things my alter. teehee! read and review!
