Chapter 1.
"Edward, I told you not to spend money on me." I snapped, crossing my arms. I loved being stubborn, sometimes. Edward parked his Volvo into a busy parking lot, and turned to face me. His topaz eyes held mine, and, I sighed, dazzled me.
I glared at him, and slowly opened the door. I turned to glare at him once more, and saw a confused look on his face. He quickly changed his expression, and smiled at me, but it didn't entirely reach his eyes. At that lightening speed that always left me a step behind, he was soon holding my hand leading me to a fancy Italian restaurant. Once the hostesses opened the double doors, they gawked at Edward, and looked at me, amazed that someone as god-like as him could be here with average looking me. I quickly changed my tortured expression to sheer amazement at how rich looking this place is. "A table for two, something quiet, please," he asked in his honeysweet voice.
The hostess saw the connection between us, and stopped looking at him altogether. "A table or booth?" She asked, looking at both Edward and I. I tilted my head towards Edward, indicating that he is in charge. She smiled at me, than looked at him.
"Booth."
"Alright," she directed us to a nice looking booth.
I sat down on the seat, and watched Edward slide in next to me.
"Your server will be here soon."
I looked at Edward, "She seemed nice enough, and I feel like I could be friends with her."
To my surprise, he laughed. Not a carefree laugh, a careful, tight laugh. Not only did that make me shiver, he was jumpy and on edge. "Has Alice seen anything, you're jumpy." I observed.
He smiled, looking at me. He opened his mouth to say something, than just then, the server appeared. Edward just quickly shook his head, and listened to what the server was saying.
I looked at Edward confused; he looked at me, and then indicated I needed to answer. I gently shook my head, "What did you say?" The server smiled than explained about the shortage of certain beverages, "I'll just have water than." Once the server left us with menus, and alone, I zeroed in on Edward. "What's up than, you're scaring me."
This time, the smile touched his eyes, he laughed. "It's nothing, just Alice thinks there might be something going on soon with, the dogs." He sneered the word that I hated.
After dinner, Edward drove to the pavement's end, and ran us to the meadow. After five minutes of running at super vampire speed, we were at the meadow. I smiled at Edward, and twirled around. When I turned back to Edward, he was on one knee. I felt my eyes grow wide, and doe like.
"Isabella," he paused, "Bella, I love you so much. Would you do me the honors of marrying me?" He looked at me, and waited for my reaction.
I gasped for breath. His face grew worried. I smiled, but it was strained. I sat down cross-legged on the ground, and held my face in my hands in thought. I wanted to marry him, I really did. He was the love of my life, but something was holding me back, and I couldn't pinpoint what. Edward got up, and wrapped his arms around me. "I didn't mean to upset you." I looked at his sad face.
I stood up, about to answer him when I felt Edward stiffen beside me. I looked to where he was looking at, and I saw Jacob Black running towards us. "Don't worry Blood-sucker, I'm here to tell Bella something important." He sneered.
I looked at Jacob's sad expression, "What?" I asked alarmed.
He looked grieved, "It's about Charlie."

If I get at least two reviews, I will continue, if not, it's not worth writing a story no one is reading.
I hope you enjoyed.
I tried to capture the personality of the characters, but it is a bit difficult since they already have a personality, so if you have any critiquing or anything, please let me know.
