Chapter 1
Engaged
Bella POV
I looked into the eyes of the one I love, not entirely sure if I was ready for this. Edward loved me; he had my love in return. Yet was that enough?
My mother had always told me that marriage was a terrible thing. She had married Charlie young, not really knowing what she was getting herself into. It resulted with a baby, a divorce, and a broken heart.
However I don't believe Charlie and Renee felt nearly as connected with each other as I did with the beautiful bronzed hair boy kneeling in front of me.
"Yes," I said, answering his question.
Edward got up and embraced me in a hug. I felt confident but also slightly nauseated with my answer.
"Do you want to try the ring on?" Edward asked me excitedly.
The honest truth would be no, but I knew that would only hurt him.
I nodded and it only took him a second to get up, cross the room, and pick up the small velvet jewelry box.
He opened the box and the most beautiful thing I had ever seen (besides Edward) revealed itself. The ring I could tell right away was old fashioned. The ring had a gold band with different colored jewels surrounding the diamond set in the center.
"Edward," I breathed, "it's beautiful."
"Do you really like it? The ring was my mothers." He looked up at me with the most dazzling eyes.
I leaned over and kissed him softly.
I was engaged.
