Title: Arranged Marriage... Wait what? It's the 21st Century!

Bella's life was always perfect. Big house, nice family, and a caring and loving boyfriend. But in one night everything changed. On the night of her 18th birthday she was told she had to marry a guy she never met before. Not only that, but she had to marry him in a week. Will love bloom, or will there be only bitter remarks and hatred? Read to hind out!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR
BELLA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!"

I groaned and turned to the side to look at the alarm clock. It read 7:30.

"Bella, baby, Happy Birthday!"

I sat up straight in bed at the sound of Charlie and Renee's voice.

I looked over at them to see huge smiles on there face. I returned the smile and said,

"Thanks mom and dad. "

Renee smiled even wider and I saw a tear roll down her cheeks and she ran towards me and wrapped her arms around me in a bone crushing hug.

"My baby's finally turning 18."

Just then I heard my phone beep indicating that there was a new message for me.

I gently pushed Renee off and reached over to the bedside table and picked up my cell phone. I opened the message and found that it was from no other than my boyfriend Edward.

"Happy birthday love. I have a big surprise for you today. Meet me out front in 30 minutes."

A grin broke out across my face and Renee noticed.

"Is it Edward?"

I nodded my head and noticed that Renee's smile slipped a little, but she quickly composed herself and said,

"Well have a fun day then. When you get back your father and I have something to tell you."

Whenever my parents said "something to tell you." it was never a good thing. Like the time when I was 5 and they told me that they "had something to tell me."

The "something to tell me." ended up being they had to leave for a week leaving me with my aunt who had a horrible son. I grimaced at the thought. I shrugged it off though.

"Today's my birthday. They wouldn't tell me any bad news." I quickly reassured myself

I stood up off the bed and went to the closet and picked up some clothes and turned to my parents and sister Alice.

Alice and I were twins though it was hard to believe. Alice was short 4'10 and had dark spiky hair and green eyes, while I had brown long hair and brown chocolate coloured eyes. I was also 5'6.

I motioned to my parents and Alice telling them that I wanted some privacy so that I could change. Alice caught on first. She came over and hugged me whispering "Happy Birthday!" and then dragged Charlie and Renee out with her.

I sighed and walked into my bathroom closing the door behind me.

I brushed my teeth and brushed out my hair and then slipped on my blacks and white stripped off the shoulder sweater and white short shorts. I wore it with a brown belt and silver gladiators.

Hey living with a fashion obsessed pixie my whole life would make me a fashionable person too.

I stepped out of the bathroom and proceeded to the front door. But before I could get there I was surrounded by Charlie and Renee again.

"Bella, baby, have fun today alright?"

"Yes, Bella have fun with him today, before it's…"

Renee not so secretly jabbed him in the side and smiled at me.

"Have fun, but baby, just come back before 10 tonight alright? We… would like to celebrate your birthday with you!"

I looked at my parents oddly. This wasn't the first time that I went to celebrate outside with my friends for my birthday. Even then they never treated me like this.

'Umm… okay?"

Renee nodded her head, and with one last wave from the both of them I walked out of the house.

Thoughts of what they were up to swerved around my head, but was instantly forgotten when an arm was wrapped around my waist.

"Bella, Happy Birthday."

A soft melodic voice purred in my ear, effectively making me shiver.

I looked up to be met with the most stunning pair of green eyes. I found myself lost in them as they stared back down at me with only the intensity that he could have.

"Thank you Edward."

He leaned down and placed a gently kiss on my lips. Letting go of my waist and grabbing my hand, he led me to his silver Volvo.

Opening the passenger door for me, like a gentlemen he was raised to be, he said,

"What were you thinking so intently about, love?"

I looked over at him and found that he was staring at me an amused expression plastered on his face.

I laughed and replied to him a hint of confusion in my voice,

"Charlie and Renee said that they had to tell me something, and they also wanted me to come home at ten today. I wonder why? They never made me come home at 10 before."

Edward nodded a thoughtful look on his gorgeous face.

"Could be a present. Or they wanted to celebrate it with you since this is your first day at being an adult."

I nodded my head and smiled at Edward as he maneuvered the car expertly back onto the street.

We sat in comfortable silence letting the soft melodic tunes of classical music fill the space between us.

After about 10 minutes of driving I felt Edward reach over for my hand and lace his fingers between mine.

He kissed my knuckles softly before placing it between us.

I blushed at the passionate gesture. Edward noticed and a quite chuckle escaped his lips.

After about 15 minutes of driving and still no indication of where we were headed I asked Edward.

"Edward, where are we going?"

He looked over at me his signature crooked grin on his lips.

"It's a secret love, you'll like it. I promise you."

I nodded my head and decided to just trust him.

After another 10 minutes of driving. Edward parked the car on a dirt path and he quickly walked over to the passenger side and opened the door for me, offering his hand.

I grabbed his hand and he helped me out of the car. After making sure I was stable on the dirt path he locked the car and placed his hand in mine lacing our fingers together.

"Come on love. It's just up ahead."

"Up ahead." Ended up being a 15 minute hike and by the time Edward said that we were there, my foot was acing and I was in no mood to talk.

"Bella, love we're here."

I mumbled a, "It's about time."

Edward apparently heard and he chuckled quietly. Somehow that guy could always hear what I was saying. I find myself wondering if he has special hearing abilities sometimes.

He moved a branch aside and nudged me forward softly so that now I was standing in a huge clearing.

The grass was the most beautiful shade of green and it ruffled softly as the cool autumn breeze blew past it.

I gasped audibly and placed my hand over my mouth to help cover the sound.

I felt Edward come up behind me and placed his hands on my hips leaning his chin onto my shoulder whispering in my ear,

"Do you like it love?"

I nodded my head unable to form the words.

Edward's hand glided down my hips to my hand and he held it in his securely and turned me around to face him.

He cupped my face in his hand and he leaned closer so that now his forehead was placed gently on mine.

"I love you."

The words came out as a soft whisper, his breath caressing my cheeks causing a shiver to run down my spine.

"I love you, too."

Edward smiled brightly as he slowly leaned forward placing a gentle and passionate kiss on my waiting lips.

Our bodies molded together and for a minute I felt all the worries of college, parents, and everything around me disappear. All that was in my mind was, Edward and me.

We broke apart for air and Edward led me to the middle of the clearing and sat me down on the blanket that I never noticed was there.

"Happy birthday, love"

Edward drove me back home. When we got to the front of the house Edward walked over to the passenger side and proceeded with his early gestures if helping me out of the car.

He walked me to the front of the door and as he leaned in for the usual goodbye kiss the door busted open and there stood Renee with her signature You-Can-Leave-Now-Thank-You-Very-Much smile.

"Edward, dear I see you brought Bella home on time and safely."

She smiled her fake smile again her eyes boring into Edwards.

"Y…yes m'am. I wouldn't have it any other way."

I noticed the stutter in his sentence at the force of Renee's stare.

"Well, I'll take care of her from here on. You may leave now."

She said this nicely and professionally, like she did with all her other clients. I believe I did forget to mention that she was a lawyer and Charlie was Chief Deputy Police.

Edward nodded his head and took a step back and reluctantly released my hand. I looked over at him an apologetic look on my face.

He looked at me and said,

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow then?"

It came out as a sentence and I nodded my head and said,

"Yeah, tomorrow."

With that he turned around and jogged back to his car. Once in his car he glanced back at me once and drove away.

When Edward was out of sight and I was in the safe haven of my home I turned my glare on Renee.

"Why did you do that?"

It wasn't a surprise to Renee that Edward and I were a bit intimate. After all we dated for a year and were childhood friends.

Renee sighed and turned to me an apologetic look on her face.

"I'm sorry baby; I really needed to talk to you. And I understand that you're an adult now, but baby you have to understand I'm still your mother and I have urges to do these things."

I nodded my head in understanding and my expression softened as I said,

"I understand mom, but you have to understand that I'm an adult now and I can take care of myself."

Renee nodded and grabbed my hand while pulling me into the living room.

"Come on, your father and I have some important news to tell you."

I allowed myself to get dragged into the living room and when I got there I noticed that another couple I have never seen before were sitting there in the love seat.

I looked over at Renee, Charlie and Alice wondering what was going on.

Renee let go of my hand and Alice bounded up to me placing a reassuring arm around my waist.

I looked down at her and she had a sad look on her face.

I opened my mouth to ask her what was going on when she shook her indicating for me not to say anything.

I turned my gaze back to the dazzling couple as they returned my gaze a friendly smile on their face.

"Bella, dear it's so good to finally be able to meet you! We've heard so many good things about you."

The women with short dirty blond hair that reached her shoulder said. Her voice was filled with motherly love and sounded nothing but sincere.

The man, who I was guessing was the woman's husband stood up, pulling his wife with him.

"I'm Carlisle and this is my wife Esme. It is such an honor to finally meet you."

As Alice reluctantly let go of my waist I walked over to the offered hand and placed mine softly in his. The hand shake was firm, but fatherly.

The woman who was introduced as Esme stepped forward and wrapped her arms gently around my shoulder, pulling me into a warm hug. I hugged her back awkwardly wondering what they were here for.

After the awkward greetings were over with I went over and sat in the other love seat next to Alice.

Alice looked over at me a small reassuring smile on her lips.

"Bella, today is your 18th birthday, and you're an official adult now." Renee said.

I nodded my head, not sure where this was leading.

"Well, Bella. Don't freak okay and let us explain before you decide anything, but…" there was a pause. And in that second, I was absolutely sure of one thing. That thing was, this news will change my life, for better or for worse, was still unknown.
