Chapter 12: The BIG question.

EPOV

We were finally back in Forks, running towards our home.

We were almost there when I felt the small box in my pocket.

"Bella" I asked grabbing her arm, telling her silently to slow down.

"Edward?" Bella asked, concerned.

"Let's go to our meadow for a while"

"Um… sure" Bella said, confused.

***********

We were here, it was now or never.

She stood there, looking at me, smiling at me.

I took a deep breath.

"Bella I love you…" I began, only to be interrupted by Bella.

"I love you too Edward"

"Shhhhh… I wasn't finished" I said, nerves getting the better of me.

"Oh sorry" she said whilst trying to hide a smile.

"Bella, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I would rather be ripped to shreds than live without you" I said, knowing it was all true. Bella looked confused.

I got down onto one knee and reached into my pocket, pulling out the little box. I looked up to see Bella looking the box, a shocked expression on her face. She looked like, if she could, she would be crying.

"Bella, will you marry me" I asked, nervously.

What if she said no? Then things will be awkward. Oh no. What have I done?'

Bella looked up from the ring to my face. She was biting her lip. She nodded.

"Of course Edward" she croaked out.

I stood up, taking her hand, sliding the ring onto her finger.

We were engaged.

We were going to get married.

I don't think I could be any happier.
