Chapter 9

 

Wow, that was some welcome, Bella thought as Edward and her broke apart. He smiled down at her as though they hadn't seen each other in months. Damn, how in the hell was she supposed to resist that? A girl could only take so much before she totally breaks down and begs her husband to...well, to do a lot of things. She didn't even know where to begin.

Especially if that particular husband was Edward.

"Did you have a nice time?" Edward asked her softly. Bella was so dazed by his sexy voice that she had to shake her head in order to regain focus and be able to articulate a coherent answer.

"Um, yeah, Alice is crazy though. She dragged me everywhere and talked me into buying more clothes than I'll ever use."

Edward grinned, "Well, at least you made good use of my credit card."

Bella frowned. They had argued about that right before she went out. She thought she had enough cash money and that she didn't need to be spending his money on things that he will never use.

Edward had said that there was no such thing as his money since they'd said 'I do'. In the end, he won and she grudgingly took his credit card with her. As it turned out she really needed it. With the amount of things that Alice made her buy, there was no way she could have paid for it on her own.

"So, are you going to show me what you bought?" Edward teased.

Bella blushed, thinking of the less than modest items of clothing that Alice had talked her into buying.

"Um, maybe later." She mumbled, shyly.

Edward chuckled, "Come on, you must be starving. Agatha has already set dinner out."

"Agatha?"

"Mrs. Stevens."

"Oh." Bella felt so stupid for not thinking to ask what Mrs. Stevens first name was.

Edward led Bella to the dining room where they sat opposite each other at the table. While they ate, Bella suddenly had an overwhelming need to know everything there is to know about her husband. She started with the simple questions first.

"Favorite color?"

"Blue."

"Why Blue?"

"Because it’s the color that looks best on you," Bella blushed at his words. He went on, I also like Brown. Before you ask, it's the color of your eyes. Brown is just…warm." He looked into her eyes as he said that and Bella found herself unable to look away.

"Uh, okay, favorite movie?" Bella asked, changing the topic.
