The next few days were filled of me going to Edward's house and him getting to know me. The week was filled with surprise kisses from me and laughs about the most random things. Today, however, was going to be long and tortuous. Today was the engagement party. I've been dreading this day for quite some time, and I've often talked to Edward to keep my mind off of it. Nevertheless, the day is here, and I I felt today something was going to happen. Something big.
I could feel it in the air. The cold, windy air. I feared to my bone that Edward would say something in the middle of the party and ruining everything for Alice and Jasper and especially, for us. These last few days were bliss for me. I didn't have to stalk him from a distance to just get a glimpse at him for once. I could touch him. I could kiss him without him freaking out on me. But that would all end if he did something at the engagement party.
I began pacing around my living room, nervously shaking my hands.
My father was sitting in the chair looking very amused.
Obviously, he has no idea what I was going through. I can't lose him. I just can't.
After a few minutes, Edward peeked his head through the door.
"You ready?" He asked with a smile. Beneath that smile, I knew the worries were there. He was deciding whether or not to speak up for his last chance with Alice. Although these days were wonderful, I doubt it was enough to sway him away from Alice. Too soon for that. I needed more time with him. Then when the time is right, and he knew the weight of both decisions, he would pick who he wanted to be with. But, time was not on my side. The engagement party was today and I wouldn't put it past him to ruin the whole thing for them and for us.
I sat in his car, and he began driving to Washington Palace. As I have said before, they are going all out for this wedding. No doubt someday my wedding will be smaller. Less than what she has. Only the best for Alice. I shook my head at my snide thought, I had to know. I had to know now.
"Are you going to do anything at the party?" I asked a little too harshly.
"What?" He asked, surprised at my question.
"Are you or are you not going to try some last attempt at convincing Alice at the engagement party?" I pressed on.
No answer came out of mouth.
I guess I knew the answer.
