Chapter one – Surprise!
I was certain that neither Charlie nor Renée would accept my wedding – which was why I was currently in a state of shock.
Earlier today, when I had broken the news to Charlie, I had braced myself, waiting for his face to become bright red with rage, for him to start yelling and order Edward to leave and never return. Instead he had simply rested his head in his hands and sighed. Renée's reaction was also a surprise and was really much like Charlie's, though perhaps with a lot more sobbing. This of course caused me to open my mouth and wonder out loud why they had taken it so well. Their answers, again, were similar and translated to something along the lines of "you can't avoid the unavoidable". It seems that Edward was made for me! Renée had even gone so far as to say that even if we are together for eternity, our love for each other would never waver. If only she knew!
As I pondered on what exactly that would entail, the cool, stone arms that are all too familiar, encased me in their embrace. Charlie must be asleep I thought to myself, before laughing internally for thinking of such pointless things in the proximity of my personal Greek Adonis. Edward suddenly turned me in his arms, no doubt to see my face, causing me to search for his lips with my own. Realising my request, he gladly obliged. Surprisingly, Edward delivered an unusually sweet kiss. Don't get me wrong, I love it when Edward kisses me at all, but this one was even more perfect.
"Edward…" I gasped when he allowed me to catch my breath, " I love you!" He chuckled into my hair while I endeavoured to calm my pulse.
"Bella, love, I am so unbelievably happy! We did it!" he paused before correcting himself, triggering an easy blush from me. "You did it! I can now officially call you my fiancée!" I noticed that he was positively glowing, though before I could complement him his lips were once again sealed to mine. If I could have it my way, I would spend the majority of my time kissing Edward. It will defiantly be a plus when I no longer have to breathe! Again, this time too soon, he pulled away.
"Bella, if you aren't too tired I was wondering if you would like to come home," I felt a thrill run through my as he said 'home'. "to announce our engagement, though I doubts there is anyone that Alice hasn't been able to ambush with the news!" he finished with his perfect smile, leaving me momentarily breathless.
"Of course! Esme will be so happy!" I thought out loud about her reaction. Edward, on the other hand, simply lifted me off my feet and leapt from my second floor window, gracefully, as always, before allowing me to climb onto him.
As he ran with me perched on his back, I suddenly felt relieved that I had forgotten to change for bed and instead, was still wearing the outfit Alice had given me to try out. She'd told me that if I am to become a Cullen in all ways possible, that I have to practice wearing more glamorous outfits. Hmmm… a Cullen… Bella Cullen… it had a ring to it and I liked it. Mrs Isabella Marie Cullen. I giggle to myself. Only a few more weeks and that'll be me! It was all seeming so surreal.
"Bella…?" Edward spoke in a tone he used all too often. I knew what was coming next. "What are you thinking?" he had now slowed to a walk and I was able to see the lovely white mansion ahead of us. He slowly put me to my feet.
"Mrs Isabella Marie Cullen!" I answered with a giggle. "It has a ring to it, don't you think?" I finished with a huge grin on my face, which was mirrored on his until he pulled me into his embrace.
"It most certainly does!" he whispered quietly into my ear in his unbearably seductive voice.
As we reached the front door, Alice appeared with two blindfolds. I glanced at Edward, while he stared, confused, at Alice.
"Stay out of my head you!" She spoke seriously, though with her voice as smooth an chimes it still sounded cheerful, while pointing a finger up at Edwards face. "It's a surprise!" she exclaimed in delight. She threw one of the blindfolds to Edward, before turning to do mine. I groaned. Everyone knew I hated surprises and yet they never stopped organising them. "Now…" She led me inside the house and let go on me as soon as I heard the door close behind me. All was silent.
