After a lot of complaints from me,Rosalie finally had gotten me ready.She told me she put water proof makeup on me,for Alice
suggested it.And I was bound to cry sometime this evening.Everything was all too beautiful and elegant.Nothing suited me.
Except for the dark midnight blue dress I was wearing.It was fit for my personality.But the matching heels would give me blisters.
After fixing my hair,Rosalie smiled."There.You look wonderful,Bella.But something is missing,"she paused and looked at me."I know what it is.Hold on.I'll be right back."
She walked out of the room.I sighed and looked at my feet.A few minutes later she came back into the room with a small box.
I scoffed."I'm missing a box with my outfit?"
She rolled her eyes."Just open it!"she told me.
As I took the lid off I gasped.Inside there was a silver necklace with a sapphire in the shape of a tear on the end.Next to it there were earrings and a bracelet to match.
"Oh,I don't know what to say.Except for,they're beautiful.Thank you,"I stammered.
"I'm glad you like them.They're a gift from Esme.She handed me the box as I was looking for jewelry for you.Let me help you with the necklace,"she said.
I put in the earrings as she put the necklace on me.I was about to put on the bracelet but remembered my charm bracelet.I grabbed it and put it on one wrist.The sapphire bracelet on the other.
Rosalie raised her eyebrows at the charm bracelet.
"This is very special to me and I don't think I can go anywhere without it,"I stated.
She frowned."If you insist,"she replied.
Alice came into the room."Oh Rose,great job!She looks amazing,"she praised and then looked at me."I think you have been keeping your guests waiting long enough.Now let's get down there,"she ordered me.
"Wait!I was too busy to ask,but where's Edward?And what kind of party is this?"I asked.
Alice grabbed my arm and sighed."You'll see,"was all she said.
I looked around the room as soon as I got down the stairs.Everything was formal.I saw Charlie and Renee' and some other family members of mine.But still no Edward.I was beginning to panic.
My heart was beating frantically as I walked across the room.I glanced near Esme and Carlisle but he wasn't there.
I felt incredibly faint until a cold hand touched my shoulder.There was a soft chuckle.
I spun around to see no one standing behind me.
"Are you looking for someone,Miss?"a familiar velvety voice asked.
I looked behind me and saw Edward in a black tux.He smiled when he saw me looking at him.
"I thought you were out hunting,"I said.I was getting confused.It seemed everyone knew what was going on but me.
"I was.But I couldn't miss my engagement party,could I?''he sighed and touched my face."To see you here,so beautiful,makes me wonder how I could ever deserve you.For being what I am,I can't see what you want with me."He dropped his hand.
I put my hands on his face and looked deeply into his golden eyes."I love you,Edward.I love you and want to love you forever.Just because you are what you are,doesn't mean you aren't my fiance'.Above everything else,I love you.No matter what,"I whispered.
He took my hands of his face and brought them to his chest,where his heart was."I love you,Bella Swan.Before I met you,I don't know how I would have survived,"he brought my hands to his lips and kissed them softly.
Alice then walked up to us as he took my left hand and held it in his own.
"You two have presents to open!But Edward should open most,because of last time,"she finished slowly.
Last time.It was too painful to even think of that time.When he went away.I winced.
Edward smiled."I better.We don't want Bella to cut her pretty little fingers.Do we,Bella?"he teased.
I blushed."I'm not that accident prone,you know,"I told him.
Alice rolled her eyes."Bella,you can't even take a walk without hurting yourself.Earlier,while trying to get out of Emmett's jeep,you fell!"she stated.
I didn't know what to say to that,so I shut my mouth and walked with Edward toward our presents.I hoped I didn't trip on the way there.
"Did you know about this party?"I asked Edward.
He looked at me."This is a party and not a formal ball?I'm absolutely shocked,"he teased.
"I feel like I'm the only one who didn't know there was going to be a party.Am I the only one?"I asked him while ignoring his teasing.
He chuckled."No,you're not the only one.I didn't know they were planning this,either,"he answered.
"Emmett tricked me.He said there was a disagreement and I thought it involved you.So I came over here immediately,"I sighed.
Edward's jaw clenched."You thought I was in trouble and decided to come here?!What if you had been hurt in the process of coming here?!If I had really been hurt?!"he outraged.
"I was worried for your safety,"I whispered.
"My safety?!If I ever lose you Bella,I..."he began.
"Stop.Please don't remind me of Italy.I almost lost you when you thought you lost me.But we won't lose each other,Edward,"I interrupted.
He closed his eyes and exhaled."Thank you,Bella.You're right.I'm sorry.I was being rash.I worry too,"he whispered.
