I groaned as the alarm from my cell blared at me. "No, I don't want to get up." I grabbed a pillow and crushed it over my head.

"Talking to it won't make it stop going off." The amusement in his voice was obvious, even with the yawn. "Just turn it off, and we'll take a day off." He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into his chest.

"My cell phone's across the room. I'd have to get out of bed to turn it off." I buried my face in his chest to try to drown out the noise.

He attempted to get out of the bed. I clutched at him. "Where are you going?"

He chuckled, "I'm going to turn your alarm off."

I attempted to hold him in place. "Ignore it. It will go off in a few more seconds."

I was glad when he settled back into bed. I was close to sleep again when someone started banging on the wall. "Bella, you can't ignore your alarm. We have a class to go to."

Ugh, even muffled through the wall, Alice knew how to ruin my morning. I was almost growling, but Edward chuckled next to me. "What?" I propped myself up on my elbows to look at him.

"The walls aren't sound proof, it's good to know." I thought about all the reasons that it might be good to know such information and blushed. He swept his finger across my burning cheek. "You are so beautiful."

The statement made me bold. I leaned down and took possession of his lips. He tasted so sweet. It reminded me of honey and something that I couldn't place. When I kissed him, the most vivid images appeared before my eyes. Edward and I lying in the grass in a beautiful meadow, sunlight sparkling off his skin. Us dancing together surrounded by our closest family and friends. Little children with copper curls running in a little yard with a white picket fence.

"Isabella Marie Swan, if you do not get your butt out of that bed, I'm going to come in and get you." She was at the door now.

I sighed and let my lips part from Edward's. "I'll be out in a few minutes Alice. Now back away from the door."

I heard giggling and I turned back to look at Edward. He brushed my hair out of my face and kissed my forehead. "I guess we should get out of bed so Alice doesn't barge in and pull you from my arms."

The image would have been funnier if it hadn't been something she would actually try. I groaned and buried my face in the crook of his neck. "Couldn't you just make her disappear?"

He rubbed my arm soothingly, "She means well."

"I know that." I let out an exasperated sigh, "I just don't want to move."

He tightened his arms around my waist, "I agree, I'm quite comfortable at the moment."

Three loud knocks on the door interrupted the peaceful moment. I growled in Edward's ear and he chuckled. "We'll be out in a minute, Alice."

"Thank you Edward. Bella, you've got a lot of explaining to do."

Edward released me and we both crawled out of bed. I didn't bother going through the duffel for cloths yet. There was a good chance that Alice had brought something for me to wear.

I opened the door and could smell the coffee. Edward wasn't far behind me. Jasper offered me a mug which I graciously took. I looked at Alice and glared at Jasper when I was the mug in her hand. "It's decaf tea, I swear." He threw his hands up in the air defensively.

I nodded and leaned against the counter taking sips of the warm liquid. "So are you going to class, Bella?" Alice was bouncing next to me.

I turned my glare on her. I was not much of a morning person. "You dragged me out of bed to ask me if I was going to class."
