"Bella Swan, I have loved you since the first moment I met you, you are the reason for my being here, and I don't want to live another moment of my life without you has my wife. Will you please do me the honor of become Mrs. Edward Cullen".
The thoughts raced through Edwards mind as he was rehearsing exactly how he wanted to propose to Bella tonight after the Halloween party. He rehearsed it a million times, adding things, taking things away. His palms were sweaty and he could barely catch his breath when he took out the engagement ring he had bought last month. He couldn't believe that Miss Bella Swan would soon be wearing this beautiful princess cut one carat diamond ring. He decided to rehearse his proposal one last time before heading over to Emmett's house to get ready. "Bella Swan, you are my everything, my best friend, my love, and my soul mate. I cannot wait to begin the rest of our li-"he was interrupted by a knocking on his door.
"Come in" Edward grunted as he was obviously agitated. "Who were you talking to dear?" his mother, Esme, said as she opened the door, with a sweet smile on her face.
"No one mom, I was just thinking about Bella and what I was going to say to her tonight, I'm starting to get nervous….what if she says no!".
"Edward, don't be silly. You and Bella are soul mates, you were before you even liked girls" she giggled, but continued "Bella loves you with all of her heart, and I guarantee you that you two will be happily married by the beginning of college…..although I really do wish you to would wa-". Edward shot a look at his mother, as if he was saying please don't start with this again. "Mom, I love you, but I am not waiting to be with Bella. She is going to be my wife and I want that to happen before college ok. You had dad, and her parents will not allow us to live together if we are not married…so" Edward trailed off as he realized his mother was grinning from ear to ear. "What". Edward said. "Oh nothing dear, you started rambling and I realized that there is nothing that is going to stop you…so I'm going to be happy for you. I know things are going to last forever with Bella, so you are right…why wait!"
"Thanks mom. You and dad have always been so supportive. I don't know what I would do without you." Edward said with a smirk on his face.
"Your welcome dear, now I hope this goes without saying…but you better treat Miss Bella Swan right, or else you will deal with me." She said giggling as she headed for the door.
"You know I always have, and always will mom. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and she will never forget that". Edward said as he ran up to his mother and gave her a kiss on the check.
"You have fun tonight Edward….oh yeah….Me and your father discussed it, and you have no curfew tonight….Bella's parents are in agreement…so you to have fun…and make this a night she will never forget."
"Thanks mom, you're the best" Edward had a tear streaming down his face as he realized that this couldn't be any better. He had the best parents in the world, the greatest girlfriend…soon to be fiancé, and he had the families blessing. Nothing could ever get in the way of true happiness with Bella.
When he arrived at Emmett's house he realized that although tonight would be the greatest night of his life, he would have to be a vampire while he did it. He was now wishing he had talked Bella into a different costume, but he knew that would never happen. Bella had quickly become obsessed with the Twilight Saga, and was determined that she wanted to dress up like the other Bella and Edward for Halloween. Luckily his costume was pretty basic. It was a black button down shirt, with stonewashed boot cut jeans, and of course the pale white makeup he would have to apply to his face to make him more like a vampire.
Emmett was a little less than happy with his costume; he was Romeo and was not excited to be wearing tights. After all he was all muscle and these tights were not the most comfortable things to wear. "Oh man, I look like a fag in this costume" Emmett said while looking in the mirror. Edward giggled and said "well, maybe you should head over to Spartans country and see what they think. After all they are in love with us remember" Edward cracked up as he managed on getting the last part out. Emmett quickly growled at him and before they knew it they were fighting on the ground. Emmett had Edward in a head lock, when a knock at the door interrupted them. They quickly got up and straightened out their costumes. "Come in" Emmett said. Jasper came walking in the room in his Batman costume. Emmett and Edward started cracking up laughing at Jasper because he looked utterly ridiculous. They were both thanking their lucky stars that their girlfriends didn't force them into that costume. "Very funny guys, give me a break. You know Alice and her kinky ways. This was the only costume that came close to matching Cat Woman". Jasper spat.
"Alright Emmett leave him alone, at least he is not wearing tights" Edward burst out laughing at Emmett. When Emmett realized what he was talking about, he hit Edward in the arm as hard as he could. Edward looked stunned at how hard Emmett had hit him, but he quickly starting laughing again.
"Look at the time, we better get going. What's the plan? Are the girls meeting us there?" Edward said.
"Yeah, they wanted to help Jessica and her parents set up the party" Jasper said as he headed to the door. They all followed out to Emmett's jeep and jumped in.
When they got to the party, they were shocked. This year's Halloween party looked to be the biggest yet. The outside of the house was decorated in decorations. There were black lights facing the house, to make it glow green. They heard the music booming from inside, it was pretty loud because the windows were vibrating. A lot of people had already showed up and everyone was in costumes.
They made their way in the house and quickly started hunting for their dates. Alice spotted them and ran over to Jasper, grabbing him and throwing him up against the door. She started kissing him passionately. Jasper allowed her to kiss him but then pulled away from her tight embrace so that he could give a quick look over. His eyes brighten up at the thought of his gorgeous girlfriend in a leather costume. She had a black leather halter top, and a way to short leather skirt, black leather boots that came up to her knees, and a mask over her eyes and nose. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back in for a deep passionate kiss. "You are absolutely naughty in this costume, are you sure you want to stay at this party, we could mayb—"She stopped him by giving a quick peck on the lips. "NO! we are staying. I think we have a shot at the spring break trip, and we have to be here to win" she said and slapped him lightly on the arm.
Emmett was paying attention to the public display of affection going on between Jasper and Alice, when out of no where two hands were covering his eyes. He grabbed a hold of the hands and could tell instantly they belonged to Rosie. He turned around and was stunned to see Rosie in a gorgeous old fashioned style dress that went all the way down to the ground. It was mostly maroon with hints of green along the lining. The dress accentuated ever curve. "WOW!" was all that could escape his lips. He leaned down and lightly pressed his lips to hers. "Baby, you look cute in that Romeo costume" Rosie said while she gave him one more peck.
Edward quickly walked towards the stairs so he could get a better view of the room to try and find his Bella. He spotted her walking into the kitchen. He jumped off the stairs and started following her. Bella was putting ice in a bucket when she seen Edward walk in the room. She looked absolutely beautiful, no surprise there he thought, she was always beautiful. In this costume, however, she actually looked a little naughty.
"Hey love, you look absolutely breathtaking" Edward said as he walked over to her. "Oh babe, you look pretty hot yourself" Bella exclaimed has she leaned up to peck him on his lips. She stated to lift the bucket, Edward quickly stopped her and said "let me get that, you are too clumsy and…you're in heels after all. Do you want to end up on your butt" Edward giggled as lifted the bucket up. They headed to the porch where the drinks were set up. He set the bucket down, and grabbed Bella in his arms. "Bella, love, you are the most beautiful vampire" he giggled. They leaned into each other, and went into a deep passionate kiss. They headed back into the family room where everyone was dancing to Muse. The night passed too quickly, before Edward new it two hours had passed. The music halted, and everyone stopped dancing.
"Everyone come gather around the stairs, it's time to announce the winner for the best costume award". Jessica's mother, Tanya, said. Quickly Edward, Bella, Jasper, Alice, Rosie and Emmett gathered in front. When everyone was gathered around, Tanya spoke.
"This year was very difficult to decide on a winner. Everyone really went above and beyond with their costumes, and there are some amazing costumes out there." She said looking over at her husband "So, this year for the first time ever, we have decided to award the prize to two couples…only because you all have made this very difficult". The suspense was killing Alice.
"The winner's are……Alice and Jasper for being Batman and Cat woman….and…….Edward and Bella for their betrayel of Edward and Bella from Twilight!" Alice let out a scream and grabbed Jasper kissing him deeply. Bella had a smile on her face and leaned up and kissed Edward on the cheek. Rosie was not all excited at this…neither was Emmett…after all he was in TIGHTS!!!.
"Oh…..hold on just a minute….My husband just told me that we would be also awarding one other couple this evening….and the third couple is…….Rosalie and Emmett for being Romeo and Juliet." Tanya said grinning as she looked over to Rosie. Rosie's frown quickly was replaced with shock. Emmett grabbed her up and planted a huge kiss on her lips.
"The prize for the three winners is a trip to Cozumel, Mexico for spring break. Enjoy guys, you deserve it" Tanya said as she quickly stepped off the steps, and grabbed the group into a big hug. Tanya was like another mother to the group. They had all been friends with her daughter since grade school, well except for Emmett, but with his personality he quickly became the son she never had.
The music was turned back on, and everyone quickly started dancing again. No one gave the three amigo couples any grieve about winning. Edward and Bella, Jasper and Alice, and Emmett and Rosalie were by far the most popular couples in the entire school. Through out high school they were always couples. Unlike the majority of the rest of their class, their relationships lasted. No one could ever question them as the winners. Everyone loved them. They were not the stuck up, popular kids, they were just like the rest of their class. They were nice to everyone, and everyone liked them.
"Bella, do you mind if we go outside for a bit, I need to get some air" Edward said nervously. He knew this moment was coming and he wanted to get the question over with, only because he wanted to officially be able to call Bella Swan his fiancé. "Sure Edward" Bella said awkwardly. She had never seen his so nervous before, and all night something was on his mind. She didn't ask him about it because she knew he would tell her when he was ready.
Edward led her out side and down to the deck overlooking the water. She sat down and took her high heels off. She was rather excited to get those things off of her feet. They were killing her literally. The moon was cascading over the water, and Edward knew he had chosen the right setting for this moment. Edward set down next to her and began rubbing her feet, because he knew how uncomfortable the high heels were, and he was sure she wouldn't have worn them if it had been for Alice demanding it.
"Bella, love, I love you more than anything in this entire world. I couldn't imagine my life without you" he said watching her face as she started blushing. "Edward, I know that. I feel the exact same way about you. You so important to me…I could never want anything more" Bella exclaimed as she leaned into him for a kiss.
"Bella, you are my everything, my best friend, my love and my soul mate." Edward said as he leaned in for another kiss.
"Edward, how is it that you can describe this feeling between us so perfectly" Bella said.
"I don't know…when I'm with you everything is perfect. The emotions flow through me with such ease" Edward said. He stood up and offered his hand to Bella. She looked at his curiously wondering why he wanted her to stand up. When she stood up, she grabbed him around the waist and stood on her tippy toes to give him a long passionate kiss. He kissed her back with such force that took her breath away. She backed up and looked up at him. He couldn't believe just how beautiful she was; now the lights from the water sparkled against her soft check. He now knew that this was the moment. He bent down on one knee. Bella looked down at him with a confused grin.
"Bella Swan, I could never ask for anything more perfect than you. You are the love of my life, you give life meaning. I do not want to live a moment without you….Bella Swan, would you please do me the honor of becoming Mrs. Edward Cullen" he finished his statement while he watched her face. Her emotions went from shock, amazement, to deep love. She smiled as she fell to her knees. She looked up at him and tears were streaming down her face.
"Edward, oh my gosh…..yes I will marry you." Bella exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around his neck had kissed him so passionately. Edward's emotions ran away from him. He couldn't believe that Bella had said yes, that soon she would be his wife and that they would start their future together.
"Bella, love, you have just made me the happiest man on the planet" Edward said while he pulled her in for one more kiss.
Bella's tears were still cascading down her face when Edward took the Tiffanies box from his pocket. He opened the box and Bella let out a deep sigh. He looked up at down at her to make sure she was ok, and when he saw the smile on her face he knew she loved his choice. He took the ring out of the box and slid it onto her finger. She looked at it, and looked back up and Edward and said "Edward, I love it, I love you. You have made me the happiest person…..Edward…oh-"was all she could get out before she attacked him again with another kiss.
Edward was so amazed at how well things went, his heart was pounding at the thought of spending the rest of his life with Bella. Bella was in complete shock at what had just transpired. She was going to be with the love of her life forever, and nothing was going to get in the way of that.
Nothing at all….or could life actually end up being this perfect?
Ok, so there is chapter 4, the proposal. Of course Bella said yes. I'm really excited at the reviews I have received. Keep them coming, if you have an idea on how to make this better…please let me know.
This story is flowing through me pretty quickly, so I'm sure the next chapter will be up by tomorrow. Enjoy….and thanks again
