Thank you all that have reviewed! I love to hear from my readers!
"No peeking!" Demetri said and proceeded to put his hand over my eyes. We were going on another of Demetri's dates. I was really enjoying the dates so far, some more than others. We took a trip to Florence were Demetri purchased me a '67 Chevy Impala. It was beautiful, hard wood dash up to date sound system. And a shiny black finish. He also got work done so it went faster than it should have. He was right when he said all Vampires like to drive fast. I didn't mind that he bought me a car. A little part of me was telling me I should have protested, but the look on Demetri's face when I accepted the gift without a fuss was one of such happiness; I just couldn't take that away from him. And now I was blindfolded and was being led through the castle. I heard a door open and a loud noise, a large pulsating noise. Demetri lifted me up and settled me in a seat. Then the seat started to move around, and an uneasy growl rumbled in my chest.
"It's okay Bella. I'm here" Demetri said and started to run his fingers through my hair. I calmed but was still anxious, I didn't really like surprises. The air changed and I could smell the salt of the ocean. Demetri untied the blindfold and I looked around. I was in a helicopter, and I looked out the open door to see the cliff Demetri and I jumped off a little over 3 months ago. "Go higher" Demetri yelled to the Pilot. We went higher and soon just started to hover. Demetri turned to me with a grin, "Ready?" He asked with a cheeky smile.
"For what!" I yelled over the spinning blades above out heads.
"To jump!" He exclaimed, my eyes went wide before I broke out into a grin, I nodded enthusiastically.
"One!" Demetri said,
"Two!" I followed, "Three!" we said together and jumped off the helicopter. We started to fall the air rushing around us. I did a flip, and then another. I reached to Demetri and made him do a flip with me, he laughed. As we were about to hit the water I positioned myself for a swan dive while Demetri chose to bomb into the water. I hit the water and was propelled deep into the dark void. I swam back to the surface where Demetri was waiting. I burst into the air and started laughing. Demetri took my hand and we started to swim to the beach – very awkwardly due to the fact neither of us wanted to let go of the others hand. We walked onto the beach and walked up to the tree line were I sat on a fairly large rock.
"Told you we could get a Helicopter" Demetri said as he shook out his soaking hair. I ran my fingers through mine and grinned.
"That was . . . so much fun" I ended lamely, still smiling like an idiot.
"I love you Bella" Demetri said, his eyes burning. Then, he did something that surprised me beyond words. He slowly lowered onto one knee, and produced a ring box, a very wet one. He looked into my eyes and started to speak, "And I promise to love you for all eternity, you are my whole existence, please. Do me the honour of becoming my wife" It was almost a plea.
"Yes, yes. I million times yes" I grinned as he got up and put a beautiful white gold ring on my figure. It had a diamond and on either side of that where two rubies. The same colour as Demetri's eyes. It was a perfect fit. I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him with everything I had, he eagerly returned the passion. I pulled away after a minute or so and grinned at Demetri, he was grinning back.
"We should head back. I smell like sushi" I scrunched up my nose and Demetri laughed. We quickly took off in a run and were back at Volterra in no time. I had a shower and got changed into fresh clothes and met Demetri in his room.
"I want to talk to Aro" Demetri said when he came out of his bathroom wearing a white pull over shirt that hugged his muscles and a pair of jeans. He slid on some shoes and we started to walk to the throne room. I didn't question why Demetri wanted to talk to Aro, I was too happy to question anything. When we entered the room Aro stopped talking and looked at us,
"Yes?" He asked,
"I would like to ask you something" Demetri said "I know that by right I should have asked you first, but seeing as Bella already said yes I don't want to take her say away in this. I asked Bella to marry me, and she said yes. But I'd very much like it if you'd give us your blessing" Demetri finished his little speech and Aro shot up,
"How dare you!" He said his eyes held anger, "You come here and insult me like this!" He boomed, and I could tell Demetri was afraid. I on the other hand was trying to contain my giggles. I could tell from his thoughts he was only joking with Demetri. Aro walked over to Demetri who was now trying to form an apology. Then Aro laughed and took Demetri into a one arms hug, Demetri was confused but awkwardly hugged him back. "I was kidding, son" Aro said his eyes gleaming; "This is wonderful!" He announced clapping in delight. "Oh I just love parties" He sighed as he walked back to his throne.
I chuckled and jumped on Aro back, before he could sit down. I hugged him and he awkwardly turned around and hugged me back, "You're walking me down the aisle right?" I asked,
"Of course, daughter"
"Thanks dad" I smiled and squeezed him once before walking back over to Demetri, I grabbed his hand and waltz out of the room. Demetri I think was still in shock. I dragged him to Heidi's room and knocked, with a quite 'come in' I opened the door and walked in, still pulling Demetri. I sat down on the bed next to Heidi and she looked at Demetri,
"What's wrong with him?" She asked,
"I think he's in shock, do you think I should slap him?" I answered half jokingly.
"I don't know," Heidi shrugged "Why is he in shock?"
"Because Dad started yelling at him for 'disrespecting him'" I used air quotes "But was really kidding" I shrugged,
"What do you mean disrespecting him?" Heidi questioned, putting the magazine she was reading on her bedside table.
"Well he asked me to marry him before he got Dad's blessing" I shrugged and Heidi tackled me in a hug, I laughed and hugged her back.
"Congratulations!" She said once we pulled away. "I'm helping plan the wedding!" She announced, and I chuckled at her forward approach at things. Demetri seemed to snap out of it and smiled,
"I was hoping we could have something small" He said as he sat down next to me, and I laughed lightly,
"That sounds nice. But I don't think Dad would like that. He loves an excuse for a party" I laughed again and Demetri sighed,
"So true" He kissed my forehead,
"Well I don't like the Idea of a small wedding either!" Heidi cut in and Demetri chuckled, "These kind of things don't happen very often around here" She defended. Then she rushed over to her desk and came back with an expensive looking laptop. I positioned myself so I was sitting next to Heidi both out backs resting against the head bored. We started to browse the net, looking at different things, Demetri was happy to sit next to me and play with my hair.
"First up is location," Heidi said although we were looking at flowers. My first thought was the beach where Demetri proposed, but with the majority of the guests were going to vampires- okay the entire wedding party and quests are going to be vampires. The beach was not an option, what with our sparkling skin.
"The garden" I said "Under the big Oak" Heidi smiled and nodded, then I stopped in my tracks.
"Wait!"
"What!" Demetri asked, panicked at my worried tone,
"Jane!" I yelled and she was with us a second later,
"Yeah?" she dragged it out in a suspicious tone, eyeing each of us,
"I'm getting married so come help" I said as if it were a normal occurrence,
"Married! To who?" She asked jokingly as she walked over, Heidi and I scooted over a little so Jane could sit on her other side, Demetri didn't like what Jane said and growled, I put a hand on his arm.
"Demetri, Jane" I answered, my tone annoyed by my face was full of amusement.
Jane laughed and we turned our attention to the laptop screen. Heidi had up a digital scale of the Garden Room and was fitting in a wedding arch, chairs and a fountain. I stared at her with my eye brows raised, then reached over and deleted the fountain, "I refused to build an entire fountain just for my wedding" I rolled my eyes.
"Fine" Heidi shrugged, not fazed. She made the arch Red and White roses. I smiled; it was so simple yet so beautiful.
Soon after Heidi and Jane were Happy to design the bride's maid dresses I fluttered out with Demetri next to me. "Where are Felix and or Alec?" I asked Demetri, he closed his eyes for a second and then said, "Their both in the library, playing chess" he answered. I ran and when we got there I saw they were in an intense match of Chess. I smiled and walked up and stared down at the board.
"Whose turn" I asked,
"Mine" Felix said, "I'm black"
"Racist" I mumbled and Alec chuckled at my childish behaviour.
"So I wanted to ask you something" I said,
"Yeah?" Felix ventured as he moved a knight.
"Well I'm getting married, and I want you guys to be in the wedding party"
"As my best men" Demetri tagged on the end and I smiled up at him,
Alec stood up and hugged me, "Of course, I'd love to"
"Me too" Felix said and hugged me.
"Awesome! We're gonna get the suits made first so in the next day see Heidi so she can get measurements" I chimed, "Oh and Check Mate in 15" I said and fluttered out with a Dammit from Felix and a chuckle from Alec.
You Found Me – Time Warp – You Found Me.
"I love you" Demetri mumbled as he traced his fingers up and down my arm,
"Well I think we established that" I joked, "I'm bored" I sighed
"What do you want to do?" He asked,
"I feel like cooking" I said as I remembered the hazy memories of me cooking and how I enjoyed it,
"But you don't eat" Demetri reminded me.
"That is so not the point" I joked with a playful roll of my eyes.
"Okay, so you feel like cooking, what are you going to do with the end product?" He asked,
"Homeless shelter" I shrugged, "Hey" I turned to look into Demetri's eyes, "Does Italy have Wal-Mart?"
"Only a few, and their very small but we have some similar chains, none as big as wall-mart though. I think there may be a 'The Standa' in Siena" Demetri said, "I think its 24 hours too"
"Cool, let's go. We're taking my car" I said and walked to the garage. I slid into my beautiful Impala and started the engine. Demetri got in and I started to drive like a bat out of hell. We drove to Siena and Demetri showed me how to get to the store. It wasn't really like Wall-mart, just a grocery store it also had little odds and ends. I bought and array of things and Demetri said there was a small kitchen like room with a fridge, although it normally held blood. We got some things and checked out and drove home. When we got there it was strange carrying human food into the castle, and we got a few odd looks but I just shrugged it off. Demetri showed me to the 'kitchen' and I got started. I cut up the vegetables and started to cook mince.
I was making Taco's. Not even an hour later I had a plate of Taco's and I sighed, it didn't take as long as I had hoped. Shrugging I put them in the fridge planning on taking them to the small homeless shelter in town. I turned to Demetri who was looking at me the entire time. "I've never met a vampire who could cook" He finally said, I laughed and decided to go check on Jane and Heidi.
OKAY! Chapter nine is up! Now I'm hungry so I'm gonna go make some Taco's for dinner :D haha Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
