Bella's POV
It was half past 10 on the 12th of August. It was the night before my wedding day. MY wedding day! I just couldn't believe that I would be married and it was a huge bonus that I would be marrying this caring, passionate and romantic man-My Edward.
We were currently tangled up with the sheets lying on my small bed, while Charlie was not so soundlessly sleeping in his room. At least he wasn't awake. I was spending my last few moments with Edward before his brothers came and dragged him to go to his bachelor party. I personally didn't want him to go but I also needed time alone to compose myself if I'm going to look and be sane tomorrow.
"You know I could just stay here all night with you, right?" he murmured killing the base of my throat.
I wouldn't have that. He probably just wanted to look out for me incase I do anything rash like run away the night before the wedding. But then again, he just wanted to be with me.
"I'd love for you to stay by my side. But Emmett and Jasper are going to break my house if you don't come with them."
He sighed "It's just that I want to be able to stay with you tonight. Basing on the rate of your heartbeat, you won't be able to sleep anytime soon."
"Who me? I'll be fine," I lied
"Bella, I know you. And I can see that you're nervous. Are you having cold feet? He asked with a smooth face but I can see the fear and sadness beneath it. I know him too so I can see that.
"Well as far as I know, it's normal for brides to be nervous on the night before their wedding day."
It was normal for brides to be nervous but I wasn't any ordinary bride. For one, I didn't even have any problems with the planning. What with my super hyper best friend slash future sister-in-law handling everything with Esme and my mom. The only thing I know about the wedding is who are getting married, when, where and what my dress looks like. Another was that I wasn't just marrying a normal guy. I was marrying a vampire and said vampire was now kissing me everywhere bringing me back to the present.
"Mmmm, but you are not just any bride, love. You are the most beautiful bride that will ever be wed," he breathed still kissing my face.
By now my heartbeat is going crazy and my face is burning. He can be so romantic at times. Yep, that's my Edward.
He now then looked at me seriously. "You haven't answered my other question yet. Are you having cold feet, Love?"
"No!" I said quickly.
"I just don't want you to see me being my old insecure self. I'm just being silly, you know."
"Insecure?" He asked surprised. "Why would you be insecure?"
"Oh you know, the usual stuff. Maybe tomorrow I wouldn't look like what you expect. What if I trip while walking the aisle? It would ruin the ceremony! And maybe I'll screw up at our first dance!" I said in horror.
"Oh Bella. I won't mind if you trip. It would just give me an excuse to have you in my arms. You would even do me a favor," He joked.
Tears then built up in my eyes. How can I deserve him? He is so kind and considerate. It just makes it harder to accept that he loves me. But he does.
"Love, why are you crying?" Edward asked
"I just want to be perfect tomorrow. I want to show everyone that somehow, even in a weird twisted way, I do deserve you. I want to be perfect tomorrow so I can stand right next to you while feeling good about myself," I said while crying.
Edward then wrapped his arms around me and let me soak his shirt with my tears.
"Love," he breathed. "You are perfect. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on. There is nothing in this world that could make me love you any less."
He then reached into his pocket and pulled something out. "I want you to take care of this for me, just for tonight."
I looked at his palm and saw something that confused me at first. But when realization dawned upon me, I couldn't help but smile.
It was the lemonade cap. The one for the bottle I bought for lunch when he first asked me to sit down with me. I couldn't believe he actually kept it after all this time.
"It's theā¦" I tried to say, speechless.
"Yes. It's your lemonade bottle cap. I got it when you got to class that day. It has been with me ever since. Wherever I go, I would always bring it with me. I keep it in my pocket."
"But, but, why?" I asked.
"It keeps me calm," he shrugged. "When I have it, it reminds me of you and that day. You immediately accepted my invitation to sit down with me without even thinking of what might happen or what others may say. It's a reminder that you trust me love. And even though I don't deserve your trust, you still give it to me. So this cap reminds me that I should value the trust, the love that you give me. And I will, Bella. I will do everything in my power to make you happy. When we're married, I promise you I'll be a good husband to you. I'll never give you a reason to hate me."
I was in utter shock. I couldn't think of anything but the fact that I love him so much.
"It also makes it okay for me to change you, Love. When there are times that I hate myself because I have to change you in order to stay with you forever, I look at the cap and I remember you. You love me and trust me. You are willing to give me you life just to be with me and I should take care of it. When I change you, I will help you through anything. On your first hunt, I'll teach you the basics. When you slip, I'll comfort you and help you control yourself better. And no matter what mistakes you do, I will always be there to help you push through. I love you, Bella. I will always love you. Don't ever think that you are not worth of me. You are the greatest and most precious gift that I have received. Therefore, I will cherish you forever."
He got me hand and place the bottle cap on my palm. I accepted it and held it close to my heart.
"Thank you, Edward. Thank you for loving me. I promise I'll take care of this for you." I said smiling. I hugged him even tighter.
"I want it back though," he said smirking. "I would only trust it with you so you better take care of it."
"Oh I will," I said. I feel much better now. We hugger each other and just laid there for a few moments. After some time, I heard a sound by the window.
"We have come for the 100 year old virgin. Send him out now!"
Yeah, that would be Emmett.
I laughed while Edward on the other hand was glaring at the window.
"You won't be a virgin for long," I said flirtingly. I began kissing his snow cold neck.
"Oh I know. And I can't wait," He said huskily roaming his hands all over my body.
"Wow there you two! C'mon just come down Edward!" Jasper said. He probably felt so much emotion radiating from us. Poor guy.
"Go!" I told Edward laughing.
He kissed me one last time, one very brief but sweet kiss. One that you thought only existed in fairytales.
"I love you," he told me seriously once he pulled away.
"I know," I said
He smiled and kissed my forehead. He pulled away, went to my window and jumped out.
"About time," I heard Emmett mutter in the darkness.
Then after a few seconds, there was only the sound of my breathing and the ticking of the clock on my bedside table. It was already 11pm. I decided to go to sleep, ready t face the wrath of Alice tomorrow. It would be worth it. I would be having my own fairytale afterwards anyway.
Still holding the lemonade cap, I put it inside the pocket of my old sweats and pulled the covers over me.
I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
Well? What do you guys think? Review please!
