A Good Thing

BPOV

Tonight was the night, I was ready. I was currently walking around the mall with Alice and Rosalie trying to pick out my outfit for during dinner and lingerie for after.

“Bella, this is perfect. Edward will love it.” I turned to see Alice holding up a black corset with matching garters. Not exactly my style, unless I was trying for the Dom look.

“I don’t think so, Tink. Not exactly romantic.” I continued to walk around Victoria’s Secret. I finally found a rack of what I had been looking for. I picked up a satin slip in indigo blue, with an ivory lace applique. Looking around I found a matching satin robe. I turned to Rose, “What do you think?” I held up both pieces.

“Oh, wow! Bella, that’s perfect. And that color looks great on you. Hey, Alice, come over here.” Rosalie smiled.

Alice bounced over to us and sighed. “Bells, you picked the perfect outfit. I knew you had it in you!” She wiped at a faux tear.

“Shut up! Let’s go, you big goof.” We headed to the check out and I made my purchases. Our last stop was to swing by The Edgewater Hotel. We parked the car, got out, and Rose and Alice helped me with my packages as I went to the front desk to check in. After I received the key and ordered an in-room meal, the girls and I headed up to the suite.

The room was gorgeous and had an excellent view of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains. There was a gas fireplace with a loveseat facing it. A chair and ottoman sat to the side. We all oohed and awed as we walked around what would be my home for the next 24 hours. Our final stop was the bedroom area. The king-sized bed looked inviting. However, I wasn’t going to be using it…yet.

“Bella, are you sure you want to stay here? This place is really luxurious, are you sure you can afford it?” Alice asked, nervously.

“I’m sure, Alice. I want Edward and I to have some privacy and I don’t want to kick you guys out of your home. This will be perfect and money isn’t a problem.” I handed Rose the letter I had written to Edward, enclosing the key to the room. They would be leaving me here so I could finish the preparations. With hugs and expressions of luck they left and I was on my own with my nerves.

“Why are you so nervous Bella? You’ve already had sex with Edward. Calm down and focus.” I gave myself a little pep talk.

I set about placing candles on every available surface and lighting them to give the place a romantic glow. I located the stereo, putting on some soft piano music. Yiruma was a favorite of mine and was also very peaceful and calming. I placed rose petals on the bed and left a path of them from the sitting area and moved the furniture a bit to allow for dancing. I set up the long balcony with candles but I would light those later. I took a moment to breathe in the fresh Seattle air and calm myself down.

With a little over a half an hour until Edward was due to arrive, I went into the bathroom and began putting the finishing touches on myself. I had gotten my hair done earlier in the day and it fell past my shoulders in soft curls. My makeup was subtle yet perfect. I took the night time clothes out of their bag and placed them in the bathroom and slowly peeled my jeans and shirt off. I slipped into my black, long sleeve, sheer illusion cocktail dress. It was form fitting and accentuated my curves. I slipped on my black, three inch heels, thankful they wouldn’t be on long. I heard a knock at the door and went to let in room service. I had them set up the dining service on the balcony. Once that was complete, I set about lighting the rest of the candles and turned off the remaining lights.

I lit the fireplace and went back to the balcony to wait for Edward. It wasn’t long before I heard the sound of a door opening and closing. I took a deep breath and turned to face my destiny.

I was sitting at the keyboard in the garage composing a different piece. Something that we wouldn’t be performing as a group. I had received a call from James earlier that day saying that there were some artists interested in purchasing some of my songs to record. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I couldn’t wait to share the news with Bella. Where the hell is she? She should have been back by now.

I got up from the keyboard and went into the kitchen to get a drink when Rose and Alice walked in. “Where’s Bella?”

Neither said anything to me. Rose handed me an envelope and the pair left. What the hell? I sighed and sat at the table and opened the envelope.

Edward,

I wanted to surprise you with a date. You have been so patient with me and for that I am grateful. Please get cleaned up and put on the outfit Alice has picked out for you. When you are ready, I will be waiting at the Edgewater Hotel. Please use the enclosed key and join me for a night I hope neither of us will ever forget.

Yours, Bella

I sprinted up the stairs and stepped into my room. Sure enough there was an outfit laid out for me on my bed. Dark jeans and a green button down. Alice had even laid out socks and shoes. I went into the bathroom and started the shower. Looking down and realized that I had a large problem. My dad had always told me to never go into a date with my gun loaded, so I stroked my hard cock while I thought of Bella waiting for me in a hotel room. It wasn’t long before I was coming and groaning out her name. After I washed off, I stepped out of the shower and set about getting myself ready.

After I was dressed, I went downstairs. Sitting on the couch were my roommates. I smirked and grabbed my wallet and keys. Before I left, I turned and winked, “Don’t wait up.”

Alice and Jasper laughed, Rosalie stifled a giggle, while Emmett yelled, “Dude! That’s my sister!”

I laughed all the way to the car,  started the engine and turned toward the hotel. The fact that Bella had thought of all this warmed my heart. My next thought was about what was in store and how would I ever top it. I also couldn’t wait to share the news I had three potential song sales in the works, two of which she and I had written together. I pulled up to the hotel about twenty minutes later and gave my keys to the valet. I took the ticket and walked into the opulent lobby. I headed straight for the elevator, riding up to the floor where my heart’s desire was waiting for me. Once the elevator stopped, I stepped out and headed to our room. I slid the key in the lock and slowly opened the door.

I was not prepared for the sight that greeted me. Candles flickered on every surface and created a soft romantic glow. I noticed rose petals on the floor and followed their path to the bedroom which was also aglow in candlelight. “Bella?” I called softly.

“Out here.”

I looked in the direction of her voice and saw another glow coming from the balcony. I walked forward and took in the strains of piano music flowing through the room. River Flows in You by Yiruma played softly. I made my way out to the balcony and saw the candlelit dinner for two and couldn’t help but wonder how this glorious woman had gotten all of this done.

Finally, I raised my eyes and looked at my future. Bella was breathtaking in her black dress. He curves were on display and my eyes feasted on her. Her toes were peaking out of her shoes and I wondered how she could stand in those. I allowed my eyes to slowly travel back up until I met her chocolate orbs. “Beautiful.”

“Thank you.” She whispered. She made her way slowly to me and gently laid her hand on my cheek. “Gorgeous.”

I pulled her to me tenderly. She wrapped her arms around my waist and looked up at me. As I saw her look at me under her eyelashes, it was almost my undoing. I placed a chaste kiss to her lips before pulling back.

I slowly led her to the table and pulled out her chair. Once she was seated, I took my place across from her. “Thanks for this, Bella. You have no idea what this, and you, are doing to me.”

“I have an idea. Alice did a good job selecting an outfit for you. I love you in the green.” She indicated our plates, stating, “Shall we?”

We ate silently for a moment, savoring the taste and the atmosphere. I finally could take it no longer and spoke up. “So, James called today.”

“Really? What did he have to say?” She asked in between bites.

“He said that he has been getting calls from reps for Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean and Lady Antebellum. Apparently, they’re interested in purchasing some of our songs.”

Bella’s eyebrows shot up and a beautiful smile adorned her face. “That’s wonderful, Edward. Which ones?”

I told her what songs and she was thrilled. “I have a meeting set up for Friday. I want you to come with me, baby. Some of theses songs I couldn’t have written without you and I want you to share the credit with me.”

“Edward, I can’t do that. You are the one that wrote most of them. I just helped a little.”

I got up from the table and came around to her. I took her hands in mine and waited until she was looking at me. “Bella, you inspire me more than any other person in my life ever has. I feel my passion for music come alive with you. Please, I’m asking you to share this with me.”

Her eyes filled with tears and all she could do was nod her head at me. I pulled her to her feet and into my arms, our dinner forgotten. The breeze off the water had gotten chilly. Together we extinguished the candles and went inside. The piano music was still playing softly and the glow from the candles gave a very romantic feel to the room.

“Dance with me?” I asked. Bella stepped into my arms easily and while I held her close as we danced, I fell in love.
