Me: *runs into room* Look! Look what I have!

Edward: It's just a receipt saying that you bought a copy of Twilight.

Me: Exactly! It says I own Twilight!

Edward: No… it says you own a book that holds the story of Twilight, not the actual story.

Me: Aw man!

Summary: Ballet_Obsessed doesn't own Twilight. Just a book with the amazing story inside.

Author's Note: This is my first story – and it's just something I came up with one night. It's lots of Edward and Bella fluff that occurs between Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

I love all criticism, but please be nice.

Enjoy!

I was pulled out of my deep sleep by cold, soft hands gently stroking my face. Letting out a sigh, I turned towards my giant hard pillow and snuggled deeper into his chest. I could feel his chest vibrate as he chuckled softly.

"Good morning love." I sleepily smiled as his cold lips caressed my forehead.

"Hhmmm…" I murmured, not willing to completely wake-up. Another vibration rumbled off his chest.

"You might want to get up soon, love. Alice is coming over to help you get ready for today."

I grumbled and tried to hide my head. There was absolutely no way I was being dragged out of bed today. It was summer for goodness sakes. Edward sighed, and then leaned his head over my ear.

"Come on, Bella." He whispered huskily. I shivered involuntarily. "Please get up?" Soft kisses were being trailed down my cheek as I totally forgot why I didn't want to do something. Then again, I couldn't quite put a finger on my own name, either.

Edward's lips on mine erased all hope of ever remembering that stupid name, and I happily slipped into bliss. All too soon, Edward pulled away and sat up.

"Go have your human moment." He said, smirking. "Alice will be over in fifteen minutes."

I sighed, grumbled about stupid dazzling vampires, and stumbled off to my bathroom.

Exactly fifteen minutes later, I found myself being suffocated by an overly enthusiastic pixie.

"Oof… good morning to you too, Alice!" She just laughed and started dragging me out to her car.

"Come on Bella! We have so much to do, and so little time!" Sometimes I wondered how such a small being could hold so much excitement or energy. Vampire or not, she had to get tired some time!

I expected to be saved by my Vampire Lover once we reached their house, but there was no Edward in sight. Alice noticed, and pulled me into the house.

"Edward's somewhere else." She explained. "He'll be back once you're done with your make-over!"

I groaned. "Alice!"

"No complaining!" She interrupted. "This is for Edward, and he'd be so disappointed if you don't dress the part!"

"Fine. Just no embarrassing clothing please!"

"Bella." Alice turned to look at me outside her giant bathroom, her expression offended. "When do I ever put you in embarrassing outfits? Everything I put on you is fashionable and absolutely adorable! Now, come on!"

Surprisingly, Alice didn't mask my face with make-up. Instead, she put on a little bit of blue eyeliner and some waterproof mascara. Then she pulled my hair up into a high ponytail and curled my hair. I couldn't help but smile at how pretty she somehow always made me look.

After disappearing for a milli-second, Alice pushed something into my hands and then turned to leave. "Put that on and come out so I can make sure it looks ok."

I sighed and looked at the clothing she had shoved into my hands … to find out it wasn't clothing, but a very tiny and very revealing bikini!

"Alice!" I whined.

"No complaining, now put it on!"

I quickly slipped it on to find it actually wasn't that bad. The top was a deep blue halter, with a silver band running around the edge. Then the bottoms were also a deep blue, a little silver bow on each side. Trying to hide everything I could in the tiny scraps of material, I hesitantly walked out into Alice's bedroom.

"EEK! It's perfect! Well, I knew it was going to be, but it's always so much better seeing it in person!" I just laughed at her enthusiasm.

"All right Alice, do I get to know what's going on yet?"

"Nope. Now slip this over your bikini!"

I was surprised when Alice handed me one of Edward's shirts. Hoping she didn't notice, I smelled it as I pulled it over my head and smiled. It smelled just like him. My heart squeezed just thinking about him … I really was unbelievably lucky to be able to call such a God mine.

Apparently satisfied, Alice took out a strip of material and started tying it around my eyes before I could even react.

"Wha…? Alice! Is this really necessary?"

"Of course! Why must you always question my brilliant plans?"

"Because…"

"Oh, never mind! Edward's getting extremely impatient down stains."

My heart started to race as I thought of my fiancé, so I stood still so that Alice could whisk me away.

I couldn't even tell we had moved until Alice put me down and I felt a very familiar pair of muscular arms weave their way around my waste. I leaned forward into his chest, cheerful to be reunited with my vampire.

"Hello love." He mumbled, gently kissing my lips. It was so sweet and gentle that I found my knees melting underneath me, and was glad that I wasn't standing up on my own.

"Is she wearing her swimming suit?" He asked once he was done kissing me.

"Yep!" The cheerful little pixie replied.

"If you could call it a swimming suit." I muttered, still not entirely happy with the scraps on my body.

"And why is that?" Edward asked. I blushed, wondering how I could forget about their stupid vampire hearing when I was with them all the time.

"You can ask her when you get there! The rest of us are going to be there in an hour and twenty-two minutes." I think I felt Alice push Edward towards the door… it would be a lot easier to see things without this blindfold on.

"Thank you Alice." Edward said, then scooped me up bridal-style and whisked me away… to wherever it was we were going.

When I was just starting to wonder if we were actually going anywhere, or just running in circles, we finally stopped and Edward gently set me down.

"Where are we?" I asked, my hand going up to remove the stupid blindfold. A cold hand stopped me.

"Not just yet." Edward laughed. First you need to take off that shirt so that it doesn't' get wet. I don't want you to get cold later."

I blushed and quickly shook my head, only slighting questioning why I was getting "wet". There was no way in Heaven or Hell that I was going to be taking off this shirt any time soon. There should be a limit on how much a bikini shows!

"I am NOT taking off this shirt! And you can't make me, Mr. Sparkly Vampire!"

I heard him chuckle, then jumped slightly as he pressed his cold lips to my neck. My heart immediately reacted, sprinting away like it was running from a bear. Or a mountain lion…

I was pulled out of my distracted thoughts by Edward's velvet voice.

"Why exactly will you not show me your swimming suit?"

My mind scrambled, trying to find a coherent thought, let alone make a sentence in the English language.

"Umm…" was my brilliant response.

I heard him softly chuckle, and continue to kiss up my neck.

"It can't be that bad, can it?" He murmured.

I knew there was some reason he was talking, but I couldn't quite pull it up. My breathing was short and choppy, and I could still feel my heart fighting its way out of my chest.

"I don't want you to get cold…" By now I could taste his breath on my lips. Desperate to end the torture, I tried to pull my head up towards his. Stupid vampire wasn't having any of that.

"It's just a swimming suit." He whispered against my lips, slowing easing the shirt up. I sighed, having lost all coherent thought or action, and allowed him to quickly pull it over my head, then kiss me passionately. It was a good thing he was holding me up, or else I would have fallen over long before now.

After Edward pulled away, I tried to open my eyes, only to remember that the blindfold was sill on.

"Uhh, Edward?"

"Yes love?"

"Can I take off the blindfold now?"

He chuckled. "Allow me."

I stayed still as the stupid piece of material was finally untied, and gasped at the sight in front of me. It was a miniature lake, complete with a small little waterfall dropping water into the lake's depths. The sun was shining, making the water shimmer as it danced.

Edward chuckled, and I turned to look at him. He didn't even have to do anything, and I was already dazzled. He was wearing swim-shorts, thus leaving his well-muscled chest open to the world. The water had nothing to his sparkling in the sunlight, or his charming smile. I noticed he was smirking at something, and quickly looked down to realize that the shirt was gone, and I was standing there in the unlawful bikini. I felt my cheeks burn a bright red as I desperately tried to cover myself. Edward grabbed my hands in one of his and used his other to lift my chin.

"Bella, look at me." He said gently. I bit my lip, but hesitantly lifted my eyes to look into his deep topaz ones. "You have nothing to be embarrassed about!"

"Says the Greek God Vampire." I blurted out, blushing when I realized what I had just said. Edward just smiled.

"You, my love, are absolutely stunning." He whispered, and then leaned in to kiss me again. This kiss was less guarded, allowing more of his passion to leak through his carefully maintained barriers. I eagerly kissed him back, slipping into that little piece of Heaven that only came when I was with Edward.

All too soon, he pulled away and smiled. "If I'm correct, then the rest of the family will be here in less then an hour. So, what do you say to a quick dip before they all arrive?"

I smiled. "Everyone else is coming?"

"Well, not Esme and Carlisle. But the Cullen children, I guess you could say."

I laughed, then took Edward's hand as we walked down to the water's edge. I speculatively looked down at the water, gently sticking my foot in.

"AAH!"

"Bella? What's wrong?"

"It's cold!" I said, pulling my foot out. "You go ahead and jump in, Edward. I'll watch from here."

I watched him cautiously as his face slowly changed from one of consideration to an evil grin.

"Edward?" I squeaked. "Edward, don't you dare…"

I was cut off by Edward jumping into the lake … with me in his arms. I screamed until the icy water cut me off. Finding that his arms were not longer around me, I quickly pushed my way to the surface. Looking around, I was frustrated to find that he was currently out of my sight.

"Edward Anthony Mason Cullen! You are in so much trouble!"

I felt something quickly grab one of my feet, and then swim past like a bullet. Carefully treading water, I peered into its murky depths. When the traitor of a fiancé tickled the back of my knees, I dove down to try and catch him, but he was already gone.

This continued on for a few minutes, until I decided enough was enough. I started to swim as fast as I could for the shore. When I was just three feet away, a hand grabbed my ankle and pulled me back into the middle of the lake. Sighing, I repeated the process, and was once again towed back by the stupid sparkling vampire. Finally, after the third time, I was rewarded by Edward popping up in front of me.

"Bella dear, where exactly do you think you're …" I cut him off by splashing water in his face, then swimming off in the other direction. "That's it, Bella! Now you're going to get it!" He laughed.

"That's what you think!" I shouted back over my shoulder, only to find he had disappeared again. Adrenaline rushing through my veins, I swam as hard as I could. Of course, no one can out-swim a vampire.

This time, instead of just grabbing my ankle, Edward's arms wrapped around my waste from behind, and he pulled me back out again. I desperately pushed against his arms, trying to escape; but it was impossible against his iron-strong grip. He eventually stopped, and held me all the closer to him.

"Do you surrender?" He asked, his lips grazing my ear. Too out of breath, and worried he would dazzle me again, I just shook my head. "Are you sure?" He whispered, pulling me closer. I nodded my head feebly, already starting to submit to his dazzling-powers. He chuckled softly. "All right, if you insist."

Suddenly I was being pulled down again; Edward's arms still iron around my waste. Rising back to the surface, he continued to dunk me several times. By the time he stopped, we were both laughing, and I was still trying to worm my way out of his grasp.

"Still won't surrender, silly Bella?" he teased, gently kissing my neck once.

Suddenly, an idea hit me. Letting out a deep sigh, I allowed my body to relax in his arms. Seeming to think I really was giving in, Edward's arms relaxed around me.

"See, I told you I'd…"

Once again I cut him off but whipping around his back and grabbing on to his neck, my legs wrapping around his waste. I kissed his neck, smiling in my victory.

"Take that, Mr. Sparkly Vampire!"

He was silent for a few seconds, totally shocked. Then he laughed, loud and cheerful. "You spend too much time around vampires!" He chuckled, slowly swimming back for the shore.

"Nah… I've just learned a lot from Alice and Rosalie." This caused him to laugh again, and I couldn't help but smile in victory.

"You win this round, Mrs. Cullen, but I'll get you next time."

My heart stopped for a moment, and then started to once again beat as fast as a hummingbird's wings. He had called me Mrs. Cullen! I could feel a stupid grin stretching across my face. And I didn't care.

Edward laughed when we got to shore and he saw my face, now understanding why my heart had freaked out. He pulled me into a hug, tucking my head under his chin. There were no words that needed to be spoken; just the presence of each other was assurance enough that neither of us could wait until we were married. While it was true that I shivered at the idea of being a married woman, I did have to admit that there were many benefits to belonging heart and soul to the love of my life.

"I love you." He murmured, kissing me gently.

"I love you too." I replied when he let me pause for breath.

I was once again sinking into my piece of Edward-Heaven when suddenly…

"Gosh guys, get a room, won't you!"

Cliffhanger! Please don't hate me too much. I couldn't help myself!
