Chapter one

It was June and I was just out of high school. The whole summer was ahead of me and I was really happy. I and Edward were together again and we loved each other very much. We were getting married in August. Even if I wasn't completely thrilled about it at first, I had now learned to accept it. I was even kind of looking forward to it. Alice was of course planning this big fluff wedding with roses and laces, even though Edward had told her to let me decide what I wanted. Right now we were actually sitting in Alice's room planning it.

"And then I thought that we could be out in the forest, since it's so beautiful this time of the year, and we could have a HUGE…."

Alice babbled on forever. Edward was playing with my fingers under the table. Ever since I said yes to his proposal he'd been very "limit-pushing", according to himself. I loved it.

"That's fine Alice!" I said and yawned. Edward looked amused at me.

" I think that's enough Al," he said and got up to leave the room. I followed his lead and he put his hand around my waist.

"Let's go to my room," he whispered in my ear. My heart started racing.

"Al right" I whispered back.

We had to walk up two stairs to get to his room. The Cullen house was really big.

He closed the door behind him and jumped down on the big bed, pulling me with him. He started kissing me passionately. Me heart was pounding harder in my chest again. His hand slid down my back, over my butt until it reached me thigh, which he pulled over him. My hands were in his bronze hair. He moaned lowly and pushed me away.

"We can't, not yet," he said and sounded disappointed but definite.

"Why nooot?" I whined.

"Were supposed to wait until after the wedding, remember? He said with a little smile playing on his lips.

" To heck with it," I said and threw myself into his cold arms again. At first his lips were stiff and unwilling but he gave up almost immediately. His hand slid up under my shirt and under my bra. I moaned while my right hand felt his stone hard abs. He pulled himself away from me again.

"Isabella," he said with his velvet voice. "We have to go to Charlie's place, we agreed that we would have to tell him about the engagement today."

I groaned in agony. Charlie was NOT going to like it. He didn't like Edward at all.



"Al right, we'd better get going then," I said gloomily. Edward laughed and we went out of the house, heading for the car.

We drove in silence. I was thinking about how Charlie would react. He was probably going to totally freak out. I sighed deeply. Edward chuckled to himself.

"What are you so happy about?" I asked him suspiciously.

"Nothing!" He said and laughed again.

"Are you reading his mind?"

He just smiled crookedly at me and focused on the foggy road.

At last we arrived at Charlie's house.

"Come down, love. Everything will be alright," Edward whispered in my ear.

I took a deep breath and entered the house, with Edward right behind, his arm around my shoulders. Charlie was watching TV and looked pretty calm.

"Dad?" I asked carefully. He turned his face towards me and smiled until he saw Edward.

"Oh, you," he said surly and began watching TV again. I cleared my troth and said;

"Dad, we really need to talk to you."

He turned to me again and looked a little concerned.

"What is it?"

"Dad, as you know Edward and I love each other very much. That's why we think the next step is to…to…get married," I said and looked at him, worried.

At first he sat completely still and just stared at me. Then he looked furiously at Edward.

"You are only eighteen years old. Are you sure about this?" He plead.

"Yes I am," I said calmly and crossed my arms. I waited for his response.

"Fine," he said and left the room. We heard the backdoor slam shut and the car start outside the house.

"Nooooo!" I cried out. He ALWAYS has to overreact.

Edward put his comforting arm around me.

"Come down love. He'll be back."



I could feel Edwards lips on my cheek, kissing away the tears that had started running without me noticing.

"Are you sure?" I sobbed.

"Yes. Let's go home now," he said and led me out to the car. He opened the passenger door for me and I mumbled a quick thanks to him. I couldn't get Charlie's face expression out of my head. Edward pulled me close to him.

"I hate seeing you this upset."

"I'm sorry, but I didn't think he would react THAT strongly." Storming out of the house, what a cliché. I sighed. "This was even worse than when we told him we were moving in together."

I had been living at the Cullen's house for a month now. Since Esme was the "mom" of the family, she immediately took the task to cook for me. At first I was a little suspicious. After all, she hadn't ate human food for about a century. But she was actually a really good cook. But when everybody went hunting I had to cook for myself. Then the house was all empty and quiet. I didn't like it at all.

"He'll get over it." Edward laughed.

"Do you think this is FUNNY!?" I shouted angrily.

"No not really. But he was thinking some amusing things." Edward laughed again.

"What was he thinking Edward?" I said with a demanding voice.

"Nothing for your sweet ears, Bells," he said lovingly. "Come on, let's go home now".

When we got home and drove up to the house we saw that there already was a car there. Charlie's car.

"No he did NOT come here!" I shouted storming out of the car and running up to the house. I had no idea how many embarrassing things he'd blurted out already. I opened the door and heard voices from the living room.

"They're only eighteen years old what are they thinking about! They haven't even went to college yet and they're suddenly getting MARRIED?!"

"Come down Charlie," Carlisle's come voice said. "They're adults, I think they know what they're doing."

"But, but…I…"Charlie stammered. He was a bit chocked over Carlisle's reaction.

"Charlie! This is just absurd!" I said to him angrily. Then I glared at Edward. I was mad at him too for not telling me what Charlie was going to do.



"Bella, you can't get married! You know what happened to me and Renee' when we rushed into that decision."

"I happened. And besides, if I knew I was making a mistake I wouldn't do it right?" I put my arm comforting around him. "There's nothing you can say to make me change my mind. Now go home and watch you're game, this discussion ends here."

I led him to the door and he followed me gloomily. After saying goodbye to him and shutting the door behind me I started lecturing Edward.

"You knew and you didn't tell me! I don't believe you!" I yelled at him and started walking up the stairs.

"I thought I heard you're voice Bella" Emmet peeked out of his and Rosalie's room. "What's going on?"

I snorted. Did the whole house have to know? But I told him.

"I and Edward told Charlie about the engagement and he totally freaked out! He came here and he threw a complete hissy fit! And Edward knew cause he read Charlie's mind and he didn't TELL ME!" I stomped my foot hard in the floor. "I'm just relieved that I told Renee' not to tell him," I mumbled to myself.

Emmet laughed and I could hear Rosalie snicker behind him.

"It's not funny!" Now I was really mad. Suddenly I could feel cold arms around me. Edward pulled me into a hug.

"I'm sorry Love," he said, his voice full of regret. I looked into his eyes. They were worried and ashamed. Of course I couldn't stay mad with him. I kissed him lightly on the lips.

"I know," I said. We continued walking to our room. When we finally got there I realized how tired I was. I ran into my personal bathroom to brush my teeth and get changed. I ran back into the room and crawled down in the giant bed, Edward next to me.

"Good night, sweetness," he whispered in my ear right before I went to sleep.
