Chapter 12

EPOV

After lunch in the park, I went back home, with Bella, to pick up the rest of my stuff. Emmett; was really happy Bella and I were back together, but showing his sadness for me leaving him again in a weird way, he seemed overly happy. "You don't get yourself into too much trouble Ed, and don't come crawling back to me tomorrow morning." All I could do was smile, I was so happy right now; I grabbed my suitcase and headed out the door. Just before I closed the door, I heard a familiar voice "Emmett, is he gone? Can I come out?" Alice, I knew something was going on; I pretended not to hear anything and continued to make my way back to the car.

My suitcase was light, it had barely anything in it, I bounded down the stairs excited about the sudden thought I had. I flung my suitcase onto the backseat of my Volvo and hopped into the driver's seat. "Okay, all set." I leant across and gave an un-expecting Bella a kiss on the cheek. We shared a short stare that seemed to last a lifetime, "I love you." She said, the words escaping from her beautiful lips. I knew telling her that I loved her would be an understatement, but I didn't know how to describe my feelings for her in any other way, my love for her summed everything up, made it simple, simple was the way love should be. I smiled, "I love you too, and you look absolutely stunning in that dress." I was a sucker for compliments, I knew that, but I couldn't help myself, I had never seen someone more beautiful than Bella. "Yeah, you did mention that a couple of times." She was in the playful mood now, a big change to the mood I had seen her in earlier this morning.

When we got back to our house, my plan was all figured out; I knew what I had to do, where I had to go. I got my suitcase from the backseat and waited at the front of the car for Bella, I held my hand out and she took it. She opened the door and I bounded up the stairs to put my suitcase on the bed, I made sure my wallet was in my pocket, it was and made my way back downstairs, Bella was in the kitchen pouring herself a glass of water, I snuck behind her and held her tightly round the waist. "I have to go out for a minute." I hoped she would take it okay, I wanted to spend as much time with her as I could, but this was important to do right now. "Okay, but don't be too long, I have something planned." Bella had a secret plan as well, this was sure to be an interesting night. I kissed her warm neck tenderly for a few seconds, until she spilt water all over herself.

I laughed at her while she tried to clean herself up, "Why don't you take a shower and get into something comfortable?" Hopefully her plans didn't interfere with mine. "Okay." She turned around and kissed me. "Don't be too long." She loved to enforce things, it was her way of making me feel as though she was the one with the most power, it was kind of cute. She was so small, and I towered over her like a building. I let go of her waist and bounced out the door. I got to the car and realised that I left the keys on the bed when I dumped my suitcase. I opened the door back up and saw Bella starring in my general direction; "Forgot the keys." I ran up the stairs, grabbed the keys off the bed and headed straight back out to the car.

I turned on the engine of my car and accelerated out of the driveway. It was late afternoon, there was no traffic, I was in luck. I headed to the local jeweller, to buy Bella a ring. It was time, I was reading and she would have to be ready, I couldn't spend another day without her by my side. I got a car park right outside the shop, I walked in and got the first ring I say, it was perfect, so Bella. It was a plain silver ring with a beautiful diamond, so simple, but amazingly gorgeous, just like Bella. "Can I help you sir?" The old man asked me from behind the counter. "Yes, I would like to buy this ring please."

I was heading home now, I had the ring sitting on the passenger seat in a red velvet box, I was so happy, so excited I thought I could cry. I turned into the driveway and stopped the car; I grabbed the ring and ran inside. "Bella!" I called her name five times; I could hear the shower running so I went upstairs to see her. I opened the bathroom door and saw her there, lying on the floor of the shower, motionless. My heart dropped and so did the red velvet box.
