As me and Edward lay on my bed, his arms around my waist, my hands on his neck, I could only think of how perfect this moment was. I was in the arms of an angel, my angel. And we were in our room, on our bed, in our house. Well, the Cullen's house. I had just moved in.
"Bella, you have to sleep, now"
"But I don't want to. I'm not tir-"
"Yes, you are too tired. Now, sleep." And as Edward, my angel, my protector, my love, started to pull me closer to him, he gave me one final good-night kiss and started humming my lullaby. "I love you, my Bella."
"I love you too, Edward" As I drifted to sleep, hearing his soft melodic voice humming my lullaby, I could only think one thing. I loved Edward Cullen.
Edward's POV
As I watched her sleeping, I wondered when I would tell her. I would have to make it romantic… maybe in our meadow? I was only a little worried about her reaction. Would she still want me to change her, to damn her, when I actually said I would?
"I love you Edward," she whispered in her sleep. Her words soothed me, and made me surer of my decision to change her. "Mrs. Bella Cullen. Mrs. Edward Cullen. Forever." I smiled hugely, ecstatic at her words. "Edward, change me … I need you. I love you." I leaned in close, and whispered quietly, "Yes, my love. I will change you."
As she awoke, I kissed her neck, and whispered into her ear, "Good morning, my angel."
She smiled at me and leaned in for a kiss. Mmmm, her lips were so soft.
"I need a human minute." She said it reluctantly, not wanting to leave my embrace. I kissed her and picked her up, placing her standing on the floor. She grabbed her toiletry bag, and went to the bathroom. When I heard the shower start, I went downstairs and made her breakfast.
She tripped on the last stair, and I was there to catch her. She blushed and I kissed her neck, moving up to her jaw and stopping right at her bottom lip. Her heart was beating frantically and I smiled at her reaction. I carried her to the table and once sitting, she started her breakfast.
"What are we doing today?" Should I keep it a surprise? I grinned evilly. Yes. Yes, I should. She seemed to notice my expression, for her heartbeat sped.
"It's a surprise. But, I have a feeling you'll love it." At least, I hoped with every fiber of my being. When she was done, I put the dishes in the sink and carried her to my car.
"Edward, you know I hate surprises. Where are you taking me?" She made an angry pout, and I smiled the crooked smile that I knew drove her crazy.
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, now would it?" She crossed her arms, but I knew she wasn't angry. The whole ride there she kept trying to trick me into telling her, but I resisted. I still don't know how. When we got to the part where she would have to ride on my back, I parked the car, and before she knew it, had put a blindfold on her eyes. She, of course, complained about the blindfold, but when I started to run, she hung on tightly and didn't talk. When I stopped, I kissed her and placed her on the grass of the meadow. When I took off the blindfold, she opened her eyes and smiled.
"The surprise is our meadow? I love it." She smiled at me, and snuggled closer to my chest.
"Not quite, my angel. There is more to come." She groaned.
"Edward, I hope you didn't spend money on me, again. You know I don't like it." I chuckled. I loved spoiling her.
"Bella? Can I ask you something?" I sounded nervous. I was nervous. She seemed to pick up on it. Her eyes showed her panic, and she said, "Sure, Edward."
I took a deep unnecessary breath, and started speaking.
"Isabella. I need you more than anything. I love you more than everything in this world. Will you be my wife? Will you become Mrs. Edward Cullen? Forever?" Shock and pure joy played in her eyes and across her face. Her heart sped up. She started to cry. I pulled her closer to me, drying her tears. Had I spoken too soon? Did she not love me enough?
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" I smiled and hugged her close. Kissing her neck, and moving up to her lips I pulled out the ring. In the middle was a topaz stone, and on either side was a diamond. The band was of white gold, with the inscription The Lion and the Lamb. She gasped when she saw it and stuck out her ring finger for me to put it on. She looked at it, and started crying, once again. I dried her tears and kissed away the streaks on her cheeks. Looking into her eyes, I noticed a flash of realization. She looked up at me, grinning hugely.
"Edward?" She was hesitant. "Does this mean that you'll change me?"
"Yes, my Bella. Yes, it does." She fainted. I held her and gently shook her awake. She smiled at me, and then she jumped me. Hands knotted in my hair, body against my own, lips moving against my shocked ones. She pulled away and giggled at her mistake. I pulled her close and started to kiss her. We spent the rest of the day basking in each other's presence and love and just being happy.
