I love you

'Well, it's all sorted then. You'll be married, 3 months today, on October 20th.'

An hour later, Edward and I were sitting on my bed in silence. We were still in our outfits. We hadn't talked since we'd left the living room.

Edward spoke first. 'Well, I...' I looked at him. 'I don't know what to say.'

'We've been best friends for years Edward, I'm just glad it's you and not just some loser, who I'd hate.'

'I'm glad it's you too Bella, but I did end up marrying you, I would have planned it, a bit, differently.'

'Yeah, I know what you mean. I think we need to start getting used to the idea of being a couple.'

'Of course. How about we go out tomorrow night, like a date or something?'

'I'd love to.' He smiled.

'Great, okay then.'

All of a sudden, we were hugging each other. It felt great, it felt like earlier that night.

'Edward! Let's go!' the bell-like voice of Elizabeth echoed up the stairs. He pulled away.

'I'll pick you up at 5:00.' I nodded. He started walking to the door, but turned back. 'There's something else we need to get used to. I love you Bella.'

'I love you too.' Oh, it felt good to say that.

The time passed quickly and soon I was waiting for Edward to arrive.

I was wearing a midnight blue strapless dress. It was a floor-length dress. The top part was covered in purple sequins and there was an indigo sash around the waist that hung to the floor. The bottom part had a few 20cm splits up the dress. There was an indigo-coloured fabric showing through them. My hair was slightly curled and my make-up was black eyeliner and mascara with a clear lip gloss. I was wearing 1 inch midnight blue heels and I had a small indigo clutch bag.

I was really nervous; I hadn't been on a date since Emmett. This was different though. It was Edward, the love of my life; I had loved him for years.

I was brought out of my chain of thought by the door bell ringing.

I stood and watched as Charlie opened the door to Edward, who was wearing a suit. He held a rose out for me. I took it and smiled. He grasped my other hand and smiled a genuine smile.

'Have fun tonight.'

'We will.' Edward answered, his eyes never leaving mine.

We walked out of the house, shutting the door behind us.

'You look beautiful Bella.'

'You look quite handsome yourself. So, where are you taking me?'

'Now, that would be telling. I know that you hate surprises but trust me, you'll like this one, I promise.'

We drove in a comfortable silence for a while, but then Edward pulled up on the side of the road.

'Okay Bella. I want you to put this over your eyes.' I raised an eyebrow, as he handed me a scarf.

'Okay.' I replied, hesitantly, putting the scarf over my eyes.

I felt the car starting up again. About five minutes later, he stopped again. I heard the door open and close, and then mine opened. I stepped out with Edward's help. When I was standing, I felt Edward lifting me up. I laughed.

'Looks like you're having fun already.'

'I, certainly, am.' I giggled.

He carried me somewhere for 2 minutes then gently set me down. He turned me to face one direction, standing behind me with his arms around my waist.

'You can take it off now Bella.'

I, carefully, removed the scarf, gasping when I saw what he had done.
