Edward has always been there for me, having the magical ability to cheer me up whenever I had a blue day, and I could not imagine my life without him by my side. I know that it sounded cheesy, but it was the truth.

"Yes." I grinned, and Edward reached out to encase me in a hug. The penguins crowded around us, tweeting as though celebrating along with us. He planted a kiss onto my head, and I lay my head onto his chest, the both of us just enjoying each other's company, like we always have.

[Five Years Later]

"If you don't treat her well, I..." Jacob gruffly whispered to his brother. I was tending to the customers, though I accidentally eavesdropped on their conversation.

"What are you guys whispering about?" I asked, wiping my hands on the apron.

I had quit my job in the office to work as an assistant to Edward in Six Degrees Café. Working here was basically a dream come true. Not only was I given special privilege to snack whenever I wanted to, but I could also socialize with friendly patrons and spend the entire day with my boyfriend.

"N-Nothing…" Edward nibbled on his bottom lip, a habit that showed that he was nervous about something. "Anyway, could you bring out the vanilla cream puffs from the kitchen?"

"Sure."

"Don't eat them all okay? Leave one or two for the customers."

I rolled my eyes before going into the kitchen, sieving through the trays until I finally found them. "They look so delicious. Well, he did say that I could take some right?"

Just as I was about to stuff one cream puff into my mouth, the lights went out. A blackout?

"Is everything all right out there?" I called out, but I got no reply. "Anybody?"

Since I roughly knew the layout of the café, I left the tray on a table before trudging out.

A single spotlight shone on Edward, and he face-palmed. "I told you guys that this was overly dramatic. Good tip, Jacob."

A snicker came from nearby.

The lights came back on, and he came over to me, carrying a cup of coffee.

"Coffee?" I arched an eyebrow in confusion.

"Ah, just drink it," Edward smiled. "It's a special blend called Brewing Romance."

I shrugged, taking a sip of it. "Isn't this caramel macchiato?"

"Keep drinking until you've reached the last drop," he beckoned. The onlooking patrons stared at me in anticipation, and I felt awfully pressurized.

I did as told, enjoying every bit of the warm drink, noticing that there was something at the bottom of the cup – A picture of a ring.

"Caramel macchiato was the thing that started it all," Edward spoke seriously, his eyes boring into mine. "And I thank the lucky stars that you came into my life. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and see how many funny expressions I can conjure on that beautiful face of yours. Will you be my wife?" Edward asked, ending his sentence so loudly that his cheeks turned crimson. I nodded, blinking through my tears.

He dug out a silver ring from his pocket before bending down on one knee. He gently reached out for my hand and slid the ring onto my fourth finger, where it was to stay.

Final Notes:

-Take in a deep breath- Well that escalated quickly in 11 chapters :O

Such. A. Short. Chapter. Even I feel angry at myself =.= This story was meant to be much longer, but school officially starts in a day, so I had to wrap things up quickly. VERY quickly. And I'm sorry about that :/ This story might go into major editing, but not in the near future .

Anyway, even though this story is "Completed", it's not over yet :) I'll most probably be posting Outtakes once in a while to tie up some loose ends (E.g. How Jacob reacts to Bella choosing Edward, random fluff scenes, or how Jacob and Edward talk things through and patch up their relationship) And what happened during the five year time-skip? :p

I REALLY enjoyed writing this story, but I am definitely disappointed by how everything goes so quickly and that the build up of romance isn't explicit :/ I'm sure you guys don't feel attached to the story, but I did my best :'(

I do hope that you liked the story :) Love you guys! ^^
