HI guys I know that this chapter is late. But from now on the updates will be on 2 times a week as my university is started. The update days will be Thursday and Sunday. But for this week probably there will be only one update, because I am still adjusting to the university after not working for 3 months. So I hope that you guys understand.

Once again thanks to all of my reviewers and specially my beta, she made my chapter much more sensible.

All the pics are on my homepage. You can access is through my profile.

I woke up to the ringing of my phone. I groaned and without looking at the caller id, I answered it.

"It better be an emergency!" I yelled into the phone.

"Edward is that anyway to talk to your mother?" My mom asked.

"Sorry mom, I was sleeping. I got back from Italy late last night" I told her.

"I gathered that when you were late today for breakfast" Mom said.

"Oh! Happy Anniversary mom. I am so sorry I forgot to turn my alarm on" I said.

"It's ok sweetie, now hurry up, I can only hold Emmett off from eating the food for so long. We are all waiting for you." My mother said.

"Ok mom I'll be there in half hour" I tell her.

I end the call and think to myself, I can't believe I forgot about my parent's anniversary. I still have to buy my parents a very big present. I get up and dash to the bathroom to take shower. It has been a tradition to have breakfast and dinner together on all big occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations since we left for college. You would think most kids would leave for college at the age of 18. Well that's not always true. At least in my case that's not true. I was 12 years old when I started college. Because my IQ was at genius level and the fact that I have photographic memory I got to go to college early.

I finished my shower, got dressed and headed for my parent's anniversary present. It took me a half hour to get to their house. As soon as I enter the house I heard my brother Emmett say,

"Mom Eddie's here can I eat now please?"

Frustrated I say to Emmett, "for the last time my name is Edward not Eddie!"

"Hello son, I hope you had a nice trip" said my father.

I smile and give my dad one of those one armed man hugs and say, "Hi dad, Happy anniversary and yes I had a nice trip."

"Thank you," my dad replies.
"C'mon boys the food is ready," my mother said from kitchen.

"Nice of you to show up," Rosalie sneered as I entered the kitchen.

God I hate her, Rosalie is the biggest witch on planet. She is my brother Emmett's wife and I have no idea how he puts up with her. Rosalie loves Emmitt so much so I just let it go. She hates me because I turned her down when she asked me out. We grew up together but she never talked me. She didn't start talking to me until I made a name for myself. Things changed after that. The next thing I know she starts talking to me and wants to be my girlfriend. I refused and since then she's hated me. Apparently nobody has ever turned her down, well there is first for everything. I do agree that she is really pretty but she is not my type. Even if she was I wouldn't have gone out with her because she just wanted the attention. I decided to ignore her like I always do.

I looked at my mom and asked her, "Mom where's Jazz?"

"He is on his way sweetheart" my mother replied.

Jazz strolls into the room as soon as my dad tells us all to start eating.

Jazz sees me sitting at the table and asks, "Hey bro what's up?"

I look at Jazz and say, "I am good. How was Paris?"

Jazz blushes and then responds, "It was good."

I was shocked to see Jasper Cullen blush because he never blushes. As a matter of fact none of us blush. I decide to let it go for now but I will be asking him about it later. We finished breakfast and went to living room to hang out
My dad cleared his throat and turned to look at me. "Well Edward this year your mother and I have been talking. There is something we would like for you to give us as a gift. You have promise us that you will give this to us. It's very important to you mother and I" my dad said.

"Sure dad ask away. I'll be pleased to give you" I replied.

"Well Edward we want you to get married" my mother said.

"I knew it! I knew you guys would see it how perfect Tanya is for the family and Edward one day," Rosalie squealed happily.

I was too shocked to listen. There is no way in hell I will ever get married to Tanya Denali. She is Rosalie's best friend and ever since Rosalie married Emmett she has been trying to hook us up. Tanya Denali is a gold digger and real piece of work. I rather dies than marry her. I looked at my parents with a worried expression on my face.

"No Rosalie we are not talking about Tanya. We are talking about our friend's daughter" my mother said.

My dad went into an explanation about the promise him and my mom made the day they got married.

Upset Rosalie shrinks out "No way!"

She tends to do that if she doesn't get her way.

"I still say that Tanya is the most suitable for Edward" Rosalie emphasized.

I was too shocked to say anything. Jasper was typing away on his Iphone. He was not paying attention and Emmett was grinning like a fool. He jumped from the sofa with his fist in the air

"Finally! Eddie is going to get some" Emmitt shouted while wiggling his eyebrows at me.

I hate to admit it but I am 25 year old virgin.

I sigh as I look at my dad and ask "Why me?"

"Well Emmett is married and Jasper has girlfriend" my mother replied.

We continued to talk about the wedding situation for awhile longer. My dad told me that we would be going to their friend's house so I can meet the girl they want me to marry. After awhile, I looked at my watch and noticed that I had to leave for work. I had a hard time getting any work done because I kept thinking over everything I was told today.
This morning when I woke up I had no idea that I would end up engaged to some girl I didn't even know.

I woke up in the morning and went to my parent's house. We were leaving together for Forks, which is where my parents are originally from. It took us 3 hours to get there. We eventually stopped in front of a modest white house. There was a police cruiser in the driveway. My dad told me yesterday that his friend is the police chief of Forks. We knocked on the door and a middle aged woman with brown hair and a fake smile opened the door.

"Esme, Carlisle it's been so long" she said as she hugged them. She turned to me and said "you must be Edward."

I looked at the woman and politely said, "Hi Mrs. Swan, how do you do?"

I felt really uncomfortable around her. She was giving off weird vibes.

"Wow such a charmer and handsome too. Our Bella is very lucky" She said.

"Hello Carlisle my man, how are you?" asked a middle aged man I assumed was dad's friend Charlie.

"Bella will be here shortly, she just went out to run some errands" Renee said.

Renee started listing off all of Bella's qualities to me. Bella seems like she will be nice but I can tell Renee is trying too hard to impress me. After she quit talking about Bella we switched to other topics for a few minute.
The next thing I know, the door suddenly opens and I hear this beautiful bell like voice. I look up and look into the most beautiful brown eyes I never thought I would see again.

~~flashback.~~

I was 11 years old and walking on the beach by myself when someone collided with me. I looked down and saw the most beautiful brown eyes I'd ever seen. The eyes belonged to the cutest girl. She looked like she was about 7 years old
"Sorry" the voice whimpered.
I noticed that she was crying. I looked at her with concern and worry across my face and asked her what was wrong and if she was alright.

Whimpering she responds, "Everybody hates and won't play with me."

I knew how she felt because I was always the youngest one in my class. The other kids are always bullying me and calling me a freak because I wear glasses and braces.

I look at her and say, "Please don't cry. I'll play with you."

A big bring smile appears on her face and then disappears. Sadness replaces her smile and she responds, "Really? I don't know why you would want to play with me. I'm always falling and getting hurt which causes me to cry. The other kids make fun of me because of that.

With sadness in my voice I respond, "I'll play with you because I know how you feel. I get made fun of too. Other kids make fun of me because of how smart I am and because I wear glasses and braces.

"That's not right! You shouldn't be made fun of because you're smart and wear glasses and braces" she said as she hugged me.
For the first time in my life I actually felt wanted by someone else other then my family. I got really said when some woman came and took her away. I never learned what her name was.

~~~present~~~

I glared at our parents as they sat Bella down and told her about the arrangement our parents made for us to get married. I just don't understand how her parents could that to that to her. It clear from her reaction that she wasn't expecting guests let alone a fiancé. After Bella's parents talked to her about the arrangement, our parents left the room to give Bella and me time to talk.

Bella looked at me with an irritated look on her face and said "cant you do anything about this?"

I know she wasn't happy about the arrangement, well neither was I. For some reason I got irritated by her reaction. I pinched the bridge of my nose, ran my fingers roughly through my already messy hair, and sighed. I stand up and look at Bella with anger on my face and before I could stop myself I tell her no and that I would see her at our engagement party. Without looking back, I march out of the house and slammed the door closed. I walked over to my parent's car, folded my arms on top of the roof, and leaned my head against my arms. I let my thoughts wash over me.
After my parents told me about the agreement, I had every intention on talking to this girl and see if I could get her to say no to the engagement. Those thoughts flew out of my mind when I saw that it was Bella I was to be engaged too. I get the feeling that she has no idea who I am but I remember her even though it was so long ago. How could I forget those beautiful brown eyes of hers? I thought about her everyday since I met her when we were kids.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was over worked and the Volturi was giving me headache. I was meeting them for lunch and I didn't want to go. As soon as I entered the restaurant I saw Rosalie and Bella. I was surprised to see them together. I know Rosalie doesn't like Bella. I know my mom is supposed to meet Bella for lunch to go over engagement plans but that doesn't explain why Rosalie was there. Nothing good can come out of this.

I looked at my watch and noticed that I still had a few minutes before meeting with the Volturi so I decided to go over to their table. As I got closer I was able to hear what Rosalie was saying to Bella. I got extremely upset because the way she was trash talking Bella. She was telling her that the only reason why she was engaged to me was because of the benefits she would reap once she became my wife. I knew that Rosalie is all about status and that she wants me with Tanya but what she said Bella was not acceptable. Who I spend my time with is none of her business. Rosalie left shortly after that her talk with Bella. Thank god Rosalie didn't see me; otherwise she would have created a scene. My mom showed sometime later and asked Bella if she was ok but Bella lied by saying that she was fine and quickly left. When she was leaving, I the same hurt in her eyes that she had in them all those years ago. I couldn't let Bella just leave like that so I ran after her to tell her to ignore what Rosalie said. By the time I got outside, Bella was gone.
I knew that if I didn't want to loose Bella I needed to figure out a way to speed things up. Bella was already against our engagement and upcoming wedding. I was worried that after what Rosalie said I would defiantly loose her. I needed to make sure that Rosalie didn't have time to formulate a plan because when she wants something she makes sure to get it and I have no intentions on marring Tanya. There is no way I was going to let that witch push Bella out of my life.

After my meeting I went over to my parent's house to talk to my dad. I wanted to find out if there was a way we could move the engagement up. My dad looked at me like I had grown a second head.

"Why are you so eager all of a sudden to get engaged? My dad asked curiously.

I ended up telling him everything about Bella and how we met when we were kids..

I sighed deeply and ran my fingers through my hair and said, "I think I love her dad."

My dad looked at me sceptically and responded, "Edward I am not sure anymore this engagement and wedding is a good idea anymore. I actually wanted to sit down and talk to you about it."

"What do you mean you are not sure?" I asked my dad. I was completely confused by the change of events.

"When we were at the Swan's house I just got the feeling the only reason why Charlie and Renee made that arrangement with your mother and I is because they feel like they can raise their status and get money out of us. I'm just worried that Bella is just like them and is a gold digger" My dad said.

"Dad I really don't think Bella is a gold digger. Something tells me that she isn't and that she's the one I'm meant to spend the rest of my life with" I told my dad.

My dad sighed and said "ok Edward, I'll see what I can do."

Late that night my mother informed me that I would be getting engaged in two days. I was ecstatic and went to bed with a smile on my face.

Please review and let me know.
