Arranged Marriage

Chapter:6

Bella's POV
I woke up in the morning by an alarm clock indicating it being 6am. I turned the alarm off and laid in the bed letting all of yesterdays events rush back to me. My parents gave me away, I live with a royal family, I have to go to boarding school, and most importantly I am the soon to be queen. I don't know how much more I can take before I reach my breaking point. After about five minutes of laying in bed I got up to start my morning process. I walked into the bathroom and there was already an outfit hanging on the door, I assumed this was Alice's doing. It was simple yet my style, it was a light pink spaghetti strap top with white shorts and with low top white converse. I then went into my closet to grab undergarments and jewelry. I actually took the time this morning to explore more of the bathroom. Upon further observations I learned there was a variety of shampoo's, conditioners, soap, and body washes. I chose a strawberry scented shampoo and conditioner with strawberry body wash to match. When I was finally dressed I started applying makeup. I always use mascara, liquid eyeliner, glittery eyeshadow, and some sort of lip gloss or lip stick. This time i chose a light pink matte lipstick. I finally brushed all the tangles and knots out of my hair and let my hair cascade down my back in natural curls. I grabbed my pink Michael Kors purse and heading in the direction of the dining room. I ended up getting lost a couple of times but I finally found my way. Everyone was starting to get seated when I arrived so I tried to get to my seat unnoticed failing miserably. As soon as I started walking Edward called me out wishing me a good morning, then everyone else dutifully followed. When everyone was seated breakfast was served and small talk was made. I tried keeping to myself but I was to be included in most conversations. After everyone was finished Alice bombarded me with questions.

"How old are you Bella, how was your old school, whats your favorite color, do you like shopping, what are your grades like, when is your birthday??"

I answered most of there questions to the best of my ability. They seemed most interested in my life before this. I will never understand why they are so interested in me, I'm just an average boring teenager like anyone else.

When we finished breakfast Edward and I left to go shopping. Alice wanted to tag along but Edward said we needed alone time. He lead me to the garage which I haven't seen before.

"If you would like you may choose whichever car."

"There are so many, I don't know which to pick." He had a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mustangs, Jeeps, Aston Martins, and 1 shiny Volvo that gained my interest. 

"I like the silver Volvo, it's not as ostentatious as the others."

"Volvo it is, but lets go we have a long day of shopping ahead of us."

Edward grabbed a set of keys off of a hook next to the door and opened my door, then we were on our way. It wasn't a long drive to the city's center, but when we got there, there were screaming fan girls just drooling over Edward.

"We have a secret service team all around us just in case someone decides to try anything." Edward explained.

We arrived at the mall about half an hour later. The second Edward got out of the car, the majority of the girls stared him down as if he were a delicious piece of chocolate. I couldn't help but feel a tad bit protective towards him. He walked to my side of the car and opened the door for me and graciously helped me out of the car. After that most of the girls had a sad expression on their faces, probably thinking I was his girlfriend.

The mall was huge. I've never seen a mall this size in my entire life. We walked in side and it was a breath taking sight.

"Where would you like to go first?" Edward asked.

"Ummmm.....lets go to Forever 21."

"You can buy anything thing you like while we're here. Everything is practically unlimited to us."

I just nodded my head and continued walking. While we were walking Edward was getting closer to me and we were practically shoulder to shoulder, then he all of a sudden grabbed my hand. I tensed up at first then relaxed. I hadn't realized before but there were guys also checking me out. I blushed out of a nervous habit and held my head down. In Forever 21 and about every other store we went to Edward just held clothes for me while I tried everything on. He's being such a gentleman to me and all I have ever done is treat him like crap. I have to thank him sooner or later.

There was only one more store I needed to go into and it was Victoria's Secret, this is going to get awkward.

"Edward, there's one more store I need to go to."

"Okay which one, we should go now so we don't miss our lunch reservations."

"You got us lunch reservations?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Yes, I figured after a long day of shopping you would like to eat something."

"Thats true." After he said that my stomach immediately growled. I assumed he heard it because he made a low chuckle.

"Lets get going" i said rolling my eyes.

When we arrived at Victoria's Secret, Edward sat at a bench outside to wait for me. I started off just browsing the clothes, but I ended up picking up half the lingerie in the store. I got about 5 matching bras and underwear. Multiple lace undershirts, and many others. When I finally paid for all of the clothes from Victoria's Secret, I ended up with about 3 bags full.

Getting to the car I realized I bought about 10 bags of stuff. Edward sat it all in the trunk, and opened the door for me.

"Can I turn on some music."

"Of course, whats mine is yours"

I turned on his car stereo, and it was playing Claire De Lune.

"Claire De Lune?"

"Your a fan of Debussy?"

"My favorite actually, Claire De Lune is great. Classical music is very calming, I listen to it all the time."

"Mine too, I compose my own music sometimes, my mother says I'm great but I think she's sparring my feelings"

"So you play an instrument?"

"I play the piano, its a grand piano in the music room if you'd like to see it sometime"

"I would love to see it, maybe you could teach me some things."

"I would gladly teach you."
