-Bella's POV-
When I left my perfect Greek God in my room to have a "human minute," I thought about everything that was happening to me. About the wedding, the wedding night, changing me, being away from Charlie and Renee', actually being apart of the Cullen clan. In the shower, I reminded myself about the things that I have to do today. I have to go dress shopping, cake shopping, and check on everything for the wedding. It's going by so fast. Before I know it, I'm going to be a vampire. As I said in my sleep, I have quite grown fond of this wedding idea. Although it's not the first thing on my to-do list, I stayed open-minded because Edward loved this idea so much. And I love seeing him happy like that. After a while, I had to finally get out because I was using up the hot water. As I got dressed, I looked at myself in the mirror. After all this time, I still had no idea what Edward saw that was so beautiful in me. He tells me that everyday, and I want to believe him, but sometimes I can't.
I went back into my room, finding Edward sitting as still as a statue on my rocking chair. Joyfully, I half-ran to sit in his lap. His eyes followed me. As I got in his lap, his face softened and that flawlessly crooked smile that I love so much had shown on his face. I couldn't help but stop breathing. I thought I got better at this. Darn. I have to work on it.
"Breathe Bella," He said, his stunning crooked smile still on his face. I let out a deep breath. He snickered. I playfully punch him in the arm, but so quickly I didn't even see, his arm moved forward to catch mine as I was pulling away. He held my hand in his and I looked down at our fingers as they twined together. I took my other hand to trace his. Then I remembered something! I looked up to see that his dazzling eyes were staring at my face with such passion.
"I think I want my ring now," I said with a smile on my face, and this time I meant it. I could see that he knew that too.
"You really do?"
"Well, since the wedding is in two weeks, I thought I might as well get used to it…so yes." He kissed my forehead, and reached in his pocket. He took out the ring that was first his mother's. The ring that was now mine.
"You had the ring in your pocket?" I asked, stunned.
"Of course. I carry it with me everywhere," He look at me with an intense gaze as a smile slowly came into view.
"You do?"
"Yes, knowing that it's there calms me. It's like having a piece of you with me wherever I go, in case I can't be with you. Like hunting…" I smiled widely at the thought of him doing that. He did as well.
"Well, I went to get a wedding ring for you the other day with Alice." He looked at me with bulging, wide eyes.
"You got me a wedding ring?" He was still shocked.
"Well, I thought you would need one, so I decided, why not?" He stared at me with disbelief on his face for a long time.
"Was I not supposed to?" I asked him after a while, concerned.
"You have no idea how amazed I am of you right now." He laughed lightly. I laughed along with him. It was these kind of moments that made me want to stay here forever and never leave his side. I put the ring on and held my hand away and turned my hand here and there to get a better view of it on my hand. I loved the ring and I loved how it looked, but there was always a twinge of feeling that made me realize that I might be making the mistake of getting married too early. I loved Edward with all my heart, but getting married early was something that my mother always told me was a bad thing. I looked up to see that he was staring at my face, smiling. Every time I did, I was reminded that I was doing the right thing by marrying Edward. The feeling of calling that a mistake left when I looked at him. Love didn't even compare to the way that I felt about Edward.
No matter how many times my mom told me that getting married at this age was a mistake, no matter how much Charlie disapproved of Edward, no matter what I promised myself after hearing my mother's advice, no matter what, I was getting married to Edward. And nothing in the world was going to stop me. I was willing to fight anything that was in the way of that. He is the most important person in my life, and he always will be. And to think that I was so afraid of going through with this in the beginning.
I jumped out of Edward's lap and I ran to the nightstand next to my bed. I opened up the top drawer and pulled out a jewelry box. I ran back into Edward's lap and opened the box up. I took the ring out that I especially picked out for Edward and put it on his left hand. He did the same thing that I did with my ring. I could tell that he loved it by the look of joy and pleasure on his face. His eyes met mine and they softened. He hugged me tightly and didn't let go.
"I absolutely love it," he whispered in my ear. The feeling of his breath made me feel light-headed.
"I'm glad you do. I picked it out myself, Alice didn't even need to help me," I said, smugly. He shook with laughter.
"That's good to know. I wouldn't want my wedding ring to be someone else's choice, other than my love." I smiled at that. And I know that he could tell that I did too.
"Breakfast time, love," he said as we got up and walked, hand in hand, down the stairs. He slowly sat down at the table as I got my breakfast ready. I just popped my pop-tart in the toaster and waited. I turned around and I leaned against the kitchen counter. We looked at each other for a while, until my pop-tart popped up. I waited a few seconds, knowing that if I took it now, I would surely drop it from the heat. I finally grabbed it from the toaster and went to sit down at the table across from Edward. I was so glad that Edward finally agreed to change me after we were married. It took him some time to actually come around. But he eventually did.
"So what are you doing today?" I asked.
"Since you're planning the wedding with Alice today, I thought that I would go hunting with Emmett and Jasper. Maybe even Rosalie. I nodded.
"Today is going to be a drag. I have to be Alice's dress up and make-up doll so she can see what she should do on the wedding day. Then I have to go get a wedding dress, check on the catering, make sure the church and everything is in order, and I have to make sure there's room for everyone, since there are people that we forgot to invite, and people that cancelled. And on top of all of that mess, I have to be away from you," I said in between bites.
"I know it's going to be hard. But you are the one that let Alice do all of this. We could have just eloped in Vegas."
"I know, I know."
"Well, you better get ready, Alice is going to be here in about ten minutes," he said. I groaned. Was she already on her way here? We sat at the table staring at each other, silently, while I finished my breakfast. Edward went to go watch some TV while I went to get ready.
