What was the point in having a physic sister if she wouldn't give me Bella's answer?
Alice was dancing around her room and singing extremely loudly, her music making the room shake. I was sat on her couch try to get the answer out of her.
"Alice, please just tell me" I shouted above the noise, this was the fourth time I had asked her.
"Nu-uh." She said making her way over to her closet.
"Alice!" I shouted frustrated. She was inspecting some shoes from her last shopping trip, why couldn't she just tell me? I had been her brother for decades, and she couldn't put me out of my misery?
"No Edward, you are just going to have to wait like any other man. It is all part of the experience" She said with a smile, she was enjoying this. I groaned but then decided it was a pointless effort, at the moment.
"Fine, I'll be with Bella." I walked out of her room and went to mine. I opened the door and walked in silently. Bella was lying on her side towards the window, the moon light shining on her form. She was enjoying one of the books from her new collection, which she had still complained was pointless. I slide onto the bed and wrapped my arms around her waist, she jumped and nearly dropped the book.
"Can you stop doing that?" She whined "You are going to give me a heart attack." I froze I was making things worse for her. I un-wrapped my arms and moved away.
"Where are you going?" she asked worried.
"I'm sorry for startling you, is there anything I can do?" I asked. I was sure concern was written all over my face, it was on Bella's.
"Edward, I'm fine, I'm not a doll." She said in a reassuring tone. I took a deep breath and crawled back up the bed to her waiting arms. I reassumed my position from before but this time Bella was facing me. I played with her soft hair, twisting it around my fingers and running my hands through it.
"Are you okay?" I asked gazing into her eyes.
"Edward, you didn't break me. I'm fine all you did was surprise me, you should really start making noise when you move." She said smiling.
"I'll try." I said smiling. "I love you, never doubt that." I said between kisses that I was now planting along her jaw to her lips. I felt her smile under my mouth. I loved that I could still make her react that way.
"Bella you need to get some sleep." I said still kissing her, I couldn't stop myself.
"Alright, only three more nights." She said as she moved of the bed to my bathroom, obliviously a human moment. I hated the thought of only having three more nights to watch her sleep but I also loved it because it meant we would spend eternity together. I could show her the true life of a Cullen.
She came back a few moments later and jumped into bed. I lay on top of the covers, not wanting to make her cold and stroked her cheeks while she dozed off. That's when Emmett and Jasper strode into my room.
"What are you doing?" I hissed. They were going to wake Bella, had they never heard of knocking.
"We are going to have a man to man talk." Emmett said. I groaned, I just wanted to sit here and watch Bella sleep.
"Do I have to; can't it wait till another time?" I asked.
"No you are coming, now. Bella's asleep so you won't miss anything and we need to prepare you for tomorrow." Emmett's voice held authority. I didn't want to leave but I couldn't see a way to get out of this.
"Fine" I got of the bed, careful not to wake Bella and made my way to the door.
"Whoa! Edward is away from Bella, it's a miracle." He said sarcastically. It was true that I had been spending every available second with Bella, but she was sick and I loved her. I would not risk being away from her in case something happened and I was only able to step away now because Carlisle was home.
"Yes well let's make this as quick as possible." I said as we walked down the stairs and Jasper and Emmett walked out the door. I stopped on the bottom step and looked back up to my room.
"Come on Edward, she'll be fine." Jasper reassured me. I followed them begrudgingly out of the house. We walked into the forest and after a while sat down on some tree stumps and fallen branches.
"Can we get on with this please; I need to get back to Bella." I said frustrated. As much as I loved my brothers Bella needed me more than some guy's talk, that could wait.
"Edward we know about you proposing to Bella and we wanted to talk to you about it." Jasper looked surprisingly happy and the waves of joy rolling of me made me smile too, he was happy for me.
"Alice told you didn't she." I said without a doubt. She wouldn't tell me what Bella would say but she would tell my 'teenage' vampire brothers what I was doing and possibly her answer.
"Yes she did, so how are you going to ask her?" Jasper was sending out happy waves and I was starting to relax.
"In the meadow and tomorrow night, and I am just going to come out and say it I think, I haven't really thought about that, more about her answer." I said with a smile. Emmett and Jasper were smiling to.
"Our Little Edward is proposing, about time!" Jasper said, I couldn't help but laugh.
"He isn't on his own, and he won't be a 107 year old virgin anymore!" I growled at him; trust Emmett to bring that up. But I couldn't deny it; I was looking forward to that. I was a man after all. Jasper laughed probably detecting my emotions; if I was human I would be blushing.
"So what do you think she'll say?" I asked, I was beyond worried that she would say no, but I didn't want her to feel obligated to say yes. Emmett and Jasper both smiled hugely. I suppose that was a little reassuring.
"So who is going to be best man?" Emmett said jumping up and down.
How was it? JCCx
