One more chapter to GOOOOOO.
Well take your time reading and have fun.
I'm just going to continue working on the last chapter and typing my brains out.

So I finished early due to the encouragement of my reviewers.

Previously…

One day, I was in my room, listening to a CD that Edward gave me. "Bella, please come down to the living room!!" I pushed the pause button, took of my earplugs, stepped into my fuzzy, lavender slippers and headed downstairs.

"Yes, Renee and Charlie?" I asked.

"Bella, we have something important to tell you." Renee said.

--

"What is it?" I asked.

"Are you ready to go yet?" She asked me back. Charlie left to the kitchen to make his Saturday morning coffee.

"Go where?" I don't remember anyone telling me about going somewhere…

"Don't you remember?" I shook my head. She sighed, "I told you that we're going to have lunch with Edward's parents today. Your father is coming too."

"Oh yeah, I guess that slipped my mind." I gave her a nervous smile.

"It's okay." She observed the clothes I was wearing, "Just go and change into something nice. Try a dress, maybe."

"Sure." I turned around and walked back to my room. I picked out a blue, crescent clip for my hair, a baby blue semi-formal dress and blue flats.

So father drove us to the Masens' house and we were greeted by a woman about 5 years older than Renee. "Hello, please do come in and make yourself comfortable."

The first thing I thought when I walked in was: Wow, it's so nice. The white sofas looked like clouds and the pillows on them looked like marshmallows. TOo bad they weren't edible. The carpet was a very light blue and the kitchen floor tiles were the same shade. Under the glass windows were a long box with assorted flowers growing inside.

The TV was black and a very large flat screen about twice my height. Edward came out from the hallway in dark jeans and a long-sleeved polo. His hair was still as messy as every but still, he looked hot.

"Hey Bella." He greeted.

"Hi Edward." I implanted a light kiss on his cheek.

Elizabeth Masen (his mom) walked towards us, "So is this the girl you always talk about?"

Edward nodded with a smile, "Yup, she's MY love." I guess I was the only one that noticed when he emphasized the 'my'.

"Good afternoon, Bella. As you may already know, I'm Edward's mother. Just call me Elizabeth"

"Hello, Elizabeth." I greeted back. "How are you doing?"

"I'm just about the same as always. Edward, go and show her around the house while I talk to her parents." It sounded more like a command than a request to me. It was probably just me though.

"Okay, let's go Bella." He took my hand and led me up the stairs and down the hall to his room which was the third door to the right. He opened the door, "This is my room."

So most of his furniture was made of a light yellowish brown wood. A picture of us rested horizontally in a picture frame on one of the tables. His bed was king-sized and was newly made. His fat pillows matched the blue bedspread.

In the corner was a desk with a laptop, printer and scanner on it. A sofa was placed right across from his bed. "It looks nice," I commented.

"You looker nicer." I thought I heard him say. "You know, you look very pretty today." He stated while brushing my cheek with his hand.

"Really?" He smiled back at me and I gave him another kiss, but this time on the lips.

We broke apart and then he changed the topic, "You know that the senior prom is next week right?"

"Yeah…" I answered.

"Do you want to come with me?" He asked. I noticed the slight blush on his face.

"Of course I do!" I hugged him. So he gave me the tour of his house and we ended up back in the living room.

"Then it's settled." I heard Renee say. Our parents were all smiling. I noticed a look on Edward's face that I'd never seen before. He looked angry and disappointed at the same time.

"What's settled?", I asked her.

"We've just finished deciding that you and Edward are going to get married after the two of you finish high-school," Edward's father informed me.

"Oh, I see." I turned to Edward, "Isn't this great?"

His facial expression didn't change, "Uhh, can you come with me really quick?"

"Sure!" He took my hand and led me back to his room. I sat on his couch and he sat down right next to me. "Edward, is something wrong? Don't you want to get married?" I looked at him suspiciously.

He sighed, "I do, it's all I've ever wanted to do, to be with you. But…" He paused. I looked at him, urging for him to continue. "My parents only want us to marry so that they can have more money. They may not look like the type to do that but, I know their intentions."

"So?" I wonder why he would care so much.

"And I don't think they deserve or need any more money."

"Well there's nothing we can do about it. It's not like my parents are suddenly going to become poor." I could feel tears forming in my eyes, "So are you saying that you don't want to marry me?"

He stroked my hair with his fingers,"Bella, I would never think of doing such a thing! But... I was wondering, how about we run away together after the prom?" He gazed at me intently.

Did I just hear what I thought I heard? "R-r-ru-u-nn-n a-aw-ww-ay-y?" I asked. He nodded. "Are you out of your mind, Mr. Edward Anthony Masen?" He winced when I said his full name. I continued, "What about my parents, Angela, Alice and everyone else??"

"They'll be just fine without us," he answered blandly. "Bella, please consider it."

Hmmm, should I agree? Well all I want is Edward. And when we run away, we'll always be together and then he'll have more time for me. I know this is selfish but, "Fine, I'll run away with you."

He smiled, "Great, we're going to uhh…to England! And then, we can get married there. I'll buy tickets ASAP!"

I wonder if it's really worth it. Edward continued talking and I was to busy thinking to pay attention, "And then we'll have kids and live together forever."

"All for love," I finished. And then we kissed each other.
