Clashing Sun

Home Sweet Home

I rolled over after a long nap and looked around. I still didn't know where we were and at this point it was beginning to upset me.

"Edward, I want to know where we're going."

"Trust me."

"I do trust you, but I hate surprises."

"Please." He begged placing his face close to mine and breathing his cool breath.

"Fine." I folded my arms and sulked.

"We're almost there anyways."

I didn't respond. I continued to sulk until Edward turned down a road that traveled into a deep forest.

"You'll love it."

The car stopped and there stood the most beautiful house I had ever seen. It was a small cottage like house with brick and a home like feel to it. All the Cullens stood outside and I saw Mike among the faces.

"This is...... amazing."

"It's a little something I picked up."

I ran into Alice's arms and hugged her. I hadn't even realized I missed her this much. I remarked at how much her black hair had grown. Emmett wrapped his giant arms around me and I received hugs from every Cullen except Rosalie.

I walked up to Mike.

"I always knew you were weird Arizona."

"Weird?"

"Hanging with vampires? I didn't even realize this world existed."

"Neither did I, but Forks has a lot of secrets."

"I believe that." Mike smiled at me and gave me a short hug. We all went inside and sat around a small fire.

"This is absolutely amazing Edward."

"I'll give you the full tour later on." He kissed the soft part of my neck and my face turned red.

The moment seemed so perfect. Talking and smiling and laughing and to ruin it all came my annoying stomach.

"Humans get hungry so fast." Mike remarked.

"To be fair I've been in a car with Edward for days."

I walked to the kitchen and pulled out some microwaveable macaroni. I warmed it and sat on the couch eating the warm noodles.

"We should get back to Forks." Carlilse said.

"Do we have to leave so soon?" Alice begged.

"Yes, Bella needs some sleep."

"Unfortunately." I mumbled.

"Bye Bells." Alice called walking out of the door. Everyone else mumbled a good bye and then it was just me and Edward.

"What happened to that promised tour?" He took my hand and led me through the house showing me two bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, dining room, and a master bedroom.

The master bedroom was gorgeous. A large wooden bed with plush white sheets and pillows. A small wooden chair and several small cabinets also made of wood.

I ran my hand over the smooth materials and smiled.

"This really is amazing."

"I'm glad you think so." Edward kissed my neck and pushed me lightly on the bed. I followed Renee's rule and spent the rest of the night in his arms.
