Fears from the Past
Chapter 1 Glass Promises
A person can get lost in their thoughts as easily as a person falls asleep. I was feeling as if I was being pulled into and suffocated by my own thoughts. What would the future hold for me? Would Edward keep his promise to make me part of his family and have the wolf pack fight because of the broken treaty? Where was Victoria and would she succeed in destroying everything I loved? My best friend, who helped me when I was shattered into pieces, was broken and I had to find a way to help him but how?
"Bella……..Bella…………" Edward called to me while gently pushing the side of my shoulder to get my attention. Slowly I awakened from my pondering state and looked at my beautiful guardian angel driving. He was dressed in black today, and I couldn't believe how good he looked. We had both been through a lot but here we were driving to Port Angeles like our life was regular like those of the seniors in our class.
"I have a surprise for you, Bella" he said that as he looked over to me with the sly smile. It wasn't fair; he knew that he could make me do anything with that smile. It made me weak in the knees, sending sparks throughout all my body. I learned to love to hate that smile.
"We are going to La Beso, to celebrate an exciting occasion having to do with our future, I know you don't like surprises, but do you think you could forgive me, just this once (smiling)" Edward begged while gently rubbing my hand with his own.
"What occasion?" I said questioning him, knowing that I wasn't going to get an answer. Receiving exactly what was expected he turned his attention towards the road, which there it stayed the rest of the ride. This was okay though, I learned to enjoy the quiet while it gave me a chance to listen to the music and also to figure out my clouded thoughts.
We arrived at the restaurant in alarming speed since Edward loved the lead in his foot to be pressed firmly against the gas pedal despite my constant complaints.
"Well let's get this over with," saying, as my right foot lowered out of the Volvo onto the sidewalk. I was suddenly shocked getting up; only to almost crash into Edward's chest as he pushed me back into my seat.
"This is not some kind of pain that I wish to induce you with, nor will you hate the events that are going to occur. I promise you will have a good time, if you promise me to not be so pessimistic throughout tonight. First off I love you and remember I would never do anything to see you hurt or in pain, second I want you to put this on and swear not to peak, just call me when you are ready, I will meet you inside." Edward suddenly pulled out a dark red slim cut dress, along with a black bandanna from the back of the seat.
I froze, seeing the dress seemingly fall into my hands. It was made of silk and as I could tell would show off every curve of my body. This evening was going to be interesting but as he stood in front of me waiting for my promise, I realized that there was no getting out of it. He had defeated me and I slowly whispered "I promise".
He took my hand and pulled (mostly lifted) me out of the car. He then kneed and lifted my hand to his red lips, like a gentlemen saying "Trust me!" Then, as he led me towards the restaurant I knew he was up to something, something very big.
In the dressing room
As I slipped into the dress, I knew that it fit me perfectly and realized it was a very expensive dress. I hated it when he spent money on me but I did promise to not be pessimistic tonight, so I pushed the negative thought out of my mind. Checking in the mirror to see how much of a mess I really was, my mood suddenly plummeted. I would never look as good as Edward; I never would be good enough for Edward.
As if on cue Edward called through the door to see if I was ready, only to hear the sadness in my voice when I answered. "Hunnie I love you, and trust me you are going to be the prettiest girl in the room!" As I heard him I gave up on my self piety and slowly tied the black bandanna across my eyes.
"I'm ready" before the words escaped from my mouth the cold touch of one of his hands was on my back and the other was leading me by holding my hand between his. After some near falls towards the floor, from my clumsiness, we finally stopped.
The scarf was lifted from my eyes, and instantly I wanted to cry. Around me were dozens and dozens of roses held by vases throughout the room, along with rose petals decorating the hard wood floor as long as the one table in the center of the room. All of the other tables had been moved out, leaving two chairs and a single table. The light reflected through the windows giving the room a dark, enchanted, shimmery outlook. Edward had definitely thought this through.
"Edward, I love it, this is beautiful, but what is the occasion?" Taking a rose from the nearest vase and carefully placing it behind my ear he said "Surprises would be nothing without suspense, all will be answered in due time"
This aggravated me somewhat because I was tired of waiting for answers, my life would be complete if only all my questions were answered. Brushing this idea out of my thoughts I smiled, hoping this night would not bring more questions to my mind……
