Authors note.

Hello, dear reader!

This is my first story here, I have written different stories before, but in Latvian language. English isn't my native language and I live in Europa. But that doesn't stop me from loving The Twilight Saga and exploring the „what if's". Here is a little different continuation of the first book. I have a plan and I am going to post as often as possible. Any review is welcomed. I like an honest criticism. No need to be rude.

Hope you like it!

Chapter one

Bella's POV.

I was in paradise. At least that was how it felt. We have been here in Isle Esme for only a day, but I felt like I could spend all my life here.

After this spring's event Edward organised this vacation for two of us. So that we could have a little alone time before school starts. Of course, Charlie thinks we are vacationing with all Cullens. He would have never let me go if I went with only Edward. It already took a lot of arguing to get him to agree to this.

We spent one day on the way here and we have been here already for one day. Since this vacation is going to last only a week and we have to get back to, we are going to spend here only four more days. So I'm going to squeeze most of it in these days.

Edward had taken me swimming in the ocean and then we had just laid on the beach. I could spend all day watching him in the sun.

It was starting to darken outside and we went inside to maybe watch some movie or talk. After I ate dinner we moved to the huge living room. I saw Edward's jaw and fists tightening. He was nervous.

Just as we got comfortable on the couch with me sitting in his lap, he started talking.

„Bella, love, have you ever thought about our future?"

„Yes, you already know that..." I started but he interrupted me.

„Yes, I know about that. But I mean...Have you thought about marriage?"

Now was my turn to get nervous. My heart beat sped up.

He carefully sat me on the couch and got on his knee in front of me. When I saw his hand going in his pocket and he pulled out a small box with a huge ring in it, my eyes popped out.

„Isabella Swan I promise to love you every day of forever - will you marry me?"

And there was it. I fainted.

I woke up from the darkness in his arms.

„I thought that we had gotten over this..?" he joked, but I could sense his nervousness and pain.

„It's just that..." I started mumbling, „Edward, I'm only seventeen. For God sake! We are in high school! Imagine what my parents, my dad would say!"

„Bella, I am well aware of your age and the other thing. But, please, understand where I am coming from. I come from a different era. Things were a lot less complicated. And if I would have met you back then, I would have courted you. We'd have taken chaperoned strolls, and iced tea on the porch. I may have stolen a kiss or two. Only after asking your father's permission, I would have gotten down on one knee, and I would have presented you with a ring. This is my mothers. Isabella Swan, I promise to love you every moment, forever. Would you do me the extraordinary honor if marrying me?"

„Bella, love, breathe."

I exhaled and half nodded. His face lit up with happiness.

I quickly stopped his euphoria: „With few conditions."

„I'm listening."

„You will turn me after the wedding. And we will try..." I blushed furiously.

I saw his jaw tightening after the first words now confusion joined them: „What?"

„Making... l.. love." before he could say anything, I added „This week, here."

He froze. Then he started talking angrily: „You must be joking! You don't know how risky it would be! I could lose my control! I am not taking any chances when we are talking about your safety and well being!"

I shook my head: „Then you can forget about the wedding and I will just ask Carlisle to turn me. You know, he will. He doesn't want to lose you. Because that is what is going to happen if I stay human. I'm going to die and you yourself said that you couldn't live without me."

He sighed: „Why can't you wait? Why now?"

„Because we are alone. Because I love you. And you said you wanted me to experience human life. Sex...is part of it."
