Okay people, so this is the chapter you have all been waiting for. I won't give you a long author's note. All I'll say is that I didn't get to 500 (she sighs because she doesn't know what she's doing wrong) but I updated for you anyways. I hope you enjoy and leave me some love at the end! I'm sorry I didn't respond to the reviews this week but real life has sucked majorly! Too much drama and I like to save that for my story usually! I promise to reply back to each and everyone this week though!
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. That honor goes to the great and wonderful Stephenie Meyer. I however have staked a major claim on the massive headache that has been residing in my head all evening.
BPOV
The drive to Forks had been a long one. Edward and I were both tired from working and the stressful week that we had. I was upset with myself for keeping the whole James thing from him and I can honestly say that I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders when I finally told Edward the whole story. He was upset that I had kept it from him but not nearly as upset as he had been when I had refused to tell him. He made me promise not to ever keep anything like this from him again. I can honestly say that the day that Edward and I didn't talk to each other was probably one of the worst days of my life. I can think of only a few others that could top it and they all seemed to revolve around when my mom was sick.
I had been thinking about my mom a lot lately. I wondered if she would be proud of the woman I have become. Would she be proud of the choices I have made in my life so far. What would she think of Edward. Well that one I really didn't have to think about. I knew she would have loved him. My mom was such a caring and carefree person. Everyone liked her and she never had a bad word to speak about anyone. She was the type of mom that everyone wanted and she was stolen from me all to soon. There's that song by Tim McGraw called 'Live Like You Were Dying' and that's how my mom lived her life. Never regretting anything and always willing to try something new. If there was one thing I could learn from her that would be it. Live each day to the fullest and appreciate the ones that you love because you never know what tomorrow will bring.
I broke out of my haze as I heard Edward next to me.
"Baby are you okay?" he asked with concern in his voice.
I looked over to him and realized that I had tears streaming down my face. I quickly wiped them away and saw that we were in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn.
"Yeah, I'm sorry." I told him looking away.
He brought my face back to his and leaned towards me. "What's wrong? And don't tell me nothing."
"Sorry. I was just thinking about my mom and I got a little choked up. I didn't even realize that I started getting tears in my eyes." I looked up at him and tried to smile.
He leaned over and kissed each one of my eyes and tried to dry off the tears that were still lingering. "Baby don't be sorry for thinking about your mom. She has a very special place in your heart and it's good to think about her and how important she is to you."
I felt my eyes welling up again and Edward immediately wrapped his protective arms around me as I sat and got my crying out of my system. After I seemed to be done Edward told me to wait in the car and he went and checked us into our room and then came back with the key. He grabbed our bags and helped me out of the car and we made our way up to our room. When we got there we both stripped down to nothing and crawled in bed with each other. There was no love making or groping. There were only tender touches as Edward held me and I fell asleep on his chest.
We awoke at 3 pm to my cell phone ringing. I sat up and groggily reached for the night stand which held my phone. I had a hard time getting to it because Edward had a death grip on me. I knew it was Leah calling me because the ring tone I had set for her was the theme song from 'Friends'. We loved that show and used to watch it together all the time.
I finally got out of Edward's grasp and grabbed my phone. "Hey Leah."
"Hey Bells it's about time you answered your phone. Honey I'm going crazy here. When are you getting your sorry ass over here to save me from my mother?" She said.
I laughed at her for a moment picturing how much torture Sue was putting her through. I loved Sue like a mother and in many ways she had kind of been my surrogate mom over the years. She is the one Charlie always turned to whenever I had a 'girl' problem. I kind of wondered if she and Charlie would get together one day. That would officially make Leah and I family and I could definitely handle that. Leah's dad Harry, had passed away when we were in high school and my dad had helped Sue get through everything. Having lost a spouse himself he kind of knew what she was going through.
"Bella are you there?" I heard Leah say.
"Sorry Leah I kind of spaced for a minute. So yeah, I have to get dressed and then Edward and I will be over. Give me about 30 minutes." I told her.
"Okay 30 minutes and not a minute more. Don't even think about having hot sex with your boy toy either because I have a feeling 30 minutes definitely wouldn't be enough time to get a good sexing in with that hot ass doctor of yours." she laughed.
"You bet your ass it wouldn't be enough time." I said with a satisfied smirk. If there is one thing about Edward in the bedroom I can definitely say that he is extremely thorough!
"Okay see you in 30." She said and then hung up.
I set my phone back down and leaned towards Edward to kiss him on the cheek. I smiled as I saw his face get a big grin on it.
"Hey baby, we need to get going so I can go save Leah from her mother." I chuckled.
"Hmmm, five more minutes." he sighed.
I laughed because that was usually my line.
"Well, you can have five more but I need to get my ass up and in the shower and dressed within 5 minutes." I told him.
I saw his head shoot up and a devilish little smirk play upon his lips. I knew exactly what he was thinking and I felt bad that I would have to shoot him down.
"Sorry babe but it's a shower for one this time. Leah threatened me to be there in 30 minutes and I definitely will need more than that with you. How about a rain check?" I asked him.
"Promise?" he asked me.
I leaned down and kissed his cheek. "Promise." I stated.
I hurriedly got up and jumped into a nice hot shower but didn't really have time to enjoy it knowing that I had to get going. By the time I got out Edward was already dressed and ready to go. I quickly changed and dried my hair before throwing it up into a pony tail and then Edward and I headed out to help Leah.
~*~*~*~
It was now Friday night and Edward and I had just gotten back to the hotel from the rehearsal dinner. Everything had been perfect. When we got to Leah's yesterday we were thrown into helping make the favors that were going to be placed by each person's place at the dinner. She had us making up little mesh bags with Hershey's Kisses and Hugs in them and then tying them with ribbon and attaching a little card with the date and Jacob and Leah Black written in elegant script on them. I laughed when I saw Edward and his delicate doctor hands tying blue ribbons onto the white mesh. Especially when I knew all too well what those hands were capable of. He was such a trooper for coming along and helping out and I knew Jacob and Leah appreciated it.
We ate dinner at Sue's house that night. When I told her that we were suppose to have dinner with Charlie she said that she had already called him that morning and told him to come over too. It was nice to have a big family dinner at Sue's like we used to when we were younger. We had talked about our families and Sue had inquired about Edward's. Charlie was quick to ask when he would get to meet Edward's parents and Edward suggested that since we would still be in Forks on Sunday that maybe they should drive down for dinner. Charlie was quick to agree and I was surprised at how quickly Edward had suggested it. I didn't mind because I would love to see Esme and Carlisle again but I was just surprised I guess.
Friday had consisted of decorating the hall and the rehearsal at the church and last minute dress fittings. By the time we had gotten to the lodge for the rehearsal dinner I could see that Jacob was utterly freaking out. I decided I better pull him aside and give him a little pep talk.
"Jacob what in the hell is wrong with you?" I asked him.
"Bells, I'm getting married in less than 24 hours." he squeaked out.
"That's right. In less than 24 hours you are going to be the luckiest man on the face of this planet because you get to start your eternity with the woman of your dreams. Your best friend and life companion." He smiled down at me and wrapped me in his arms. "Jake what are you so nervous about. You and Leah have been together forever and you already live and work together so it's not like it's anything new right?"
"Yeah, I guess you're right." He sighed and then kissed the top of my head.
"So when are you and Doc gonna tie the knot?" He asked me.
"What?" I must have looked stunned. "Edward and I have only been together a couple of months and as much as I would love if he proposed to me tomorrow I'm sure that he's not quite ready for that yet." It pained me to admit that out loud. I would love to see Edward get down on one knee and ask me to marry him but that is just asking too much of the man. He's already opened his home and his life to me and I couldn't expect that much of him already. Jake just smiled at me and then we made our way back to the party.
So now here we are back at the hotel room and I couldn't believe that I was actually nervous for the happy couple tomorrow. I think I was more nervous thinking that I may trip in my heels in the middle of church and fall down for everyone to see. I wouldn't have Edward there by my side to save me and that worried me a little.
I fell asleep that night thinking of white dresses and flowers and realizing that it was me that I was seeing and not Leah.
~*~*~*~
The next morning I got up early and had to meet Leah down at the local beauty salon to get our hair, makeup and nails done. This was my treat to Leah because I wanted to make sure that she looked like the princess that she should on her wedding day. By the time they were done she was absolutely stunning. She had a glow about her and you could tell that this was truly the happiest day of her life. We left and went to her mom's house for a quick lunch and then we would be going to the church to get dressed and do the final touches.
I was sad that I wouldn't see Edward all day but he assured me that he would be fine. He said that he and Charlie were going to spend some time together. I loved the fact that they got along so well but I was truly surprised about how much time they have been seeming to spend together. It felt like they were both in on some big secret and I was the only one that wasn't privy to the information.
We got to the church and got dressed and I had to stop myself from crying when I saw Leah in her dress. She was absolutely stunning and I knew that she would have Jacob wrapped around her finger the minute he set eyes on her. The music seemed to start not long after and I could see that the church was filling up fast. Before I knew it I was being pushed to the doors of the church and being told it was my turn to start walking. I gulped nervously and plastered a smile on my face and then started down the aisle. I kept telling myself left foot good, right foot good. I had to make sure that I took steady steps so that I wouldn't fall over.
I was half way down the aisle when I looked up and saw my beautiful green eyes staring back at me. Edward looked absolutely stunning in his charcoal grey suit, which I'm sure was probably Armani. I finally broke my eyes from him and looked to see that my dad was sitting next to him and taking pictures of me. Cue blush.
I kept walking up the aisle and was almost near the end when I saw Jacob standing there in his tux and I felt myself get teary eyed as I saw that one of my best friends was trying to hold it together until his soon to be wife got down the aisle to stand next to him.
The ceremony was simple and eloquent and I envied the couple standing there sharing their love for everyone to see. After the ceremony we took lots of pictures and then made our way to the reception. Jacob and Leah were nice enough to seat Edward next to me so that he wouldn't have to sit with strangers. I caught him looking at me several times and smiling. I finally asked him what he was staring at and he said "I'm just looking at the most beautiful woman in the world." I blushed and told him he needed glasses.
"Bella you don't see yourself clearly do you." he told me. He grasped my hand and led me onto the dance floor where many couples had gathered to dance the night away. He held me close and we danced to a few slow songs. At one point he nudged me and I looked the way he was motioning and saw my Dad and Sue dancing somewhat close. I smiled and looked up at Edward. He smiled back and then pulled me close again. We never really spoke out on the dance floor. He just held me and danced and it felt like we were floating on air.
We got back to the hotel room that night and I couldn't wait to get my feet out of those shoes. I quickly sat on the bed and took my heels off and started to rub at the soles of my feet.
"I believe that's my job." Edward said with a smirk.
"Well by all means." I told him.
He sat next to me on the bed and pulled my feet into his lap. He rubbed each foot meticulously and made sure that my feet pretty much felt like jello by the time he was done. I realized that I was moaning and he just smirked at me.
"You know there are a few other ways I can make you moan." he said seductively.
"Why Doctor Cullen are you trying to seduce me?" I smiled.
"You bet your sweet little ass I am." He said back and with that I felt myself being pulled further up on the bed and my dress was being left behind.
EPOV
Bella was definitely the most beautiful creature to grace this earth. When I saw her walking down the aisle at the wedding it took every once of control that I had to stay put and not jump up right then and there and pull out the ring and ask her to marry me. A couple of things stopped me. For one, we were already in the middle of someone else's wedding and two I didn't have her ring with me.
When she had been getting ready this morning I took the opportunity to go and talk to Charlie and show him the ring. He actually had a tear in his eye when he saw it and then he patted me on the back and told me he was very happy for us. That was more than I could have ever asked for. I knew Charlie was a man of very few words and the words that he spoke were always direct and to the point. The fact that he was happy for us made me jump for joy knowing that he truly approved.
I spent the rest of Saturday morning making sure that all of the arrangements I had made were a go for Sunday evening. I called the restaurant by the beach that Charlie had recommended and made sure that our table was reserved for 10 people. I was impressed how Charlie smoothly asked Bella and I when he would get to meet my parents which led to our rehearsed speech about them coming to dinner on Sunday. What Bella didn't know was that Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett were coming too. I wanted everyone that I care about to be there when I asked the one person in the world that I wanted to give myself completely too, to marry me. My siblings were actually going to be flying in to Forks on a private plane Emmett had reserved since he had a game at noon. They should be here just in time for dinner.
Right now I'm laying in bed and watching Bella sleep in my arms. She had been so busy the last couple of days and I knew she needed her rest. We made love for a few hours after we got home from the wedding and now she was completely spent. I on the other hand was a nervous wreck. I want everything to go perfectly tomorrow and I'm so worried that something will go wrong or I won't say what I want to say just perfectly. And most of all, I'm worried that she won't say yes.
I don't know why I'm so worried about it. I love Bella and I know she loves me. I just hope that she wants to spend forever with me. My thoughts consumed me and I finally willed myself to sleep. That night I dreamt of Bella standing in a white gown on the beach were we made love. She was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand and she was walking toward me. Her beautiful hair was blowing in the wind and she was barefoot. She had a couple of tiny flowers in her hair and she was absolutely breathtaking. I stood there fidgeting and waiting to get the girl of my dreams in my arms. I was just about to take her hand into mine when I was ripped from my dreams. I woke up with a start and heard the shower running in the bathroom. I slid myself back down and the bed felt so cold without Bella lying next to me in it. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was already 10 o'clock. I knew that we were going to have lunch with Charlie at noon so I figured I better get out of bed.
I made my way to the bathroom and I could hear Bella singing in the shower like usual. I absolutely loved listening to her. Whenever she was singing in the shower it was like she was someone else. She wasn't embarrassed and she just let go. I stood there for a while listening as she sang the words to Orianthi's 'According To You'.
"According to you, I'm stupid, I'm useless. I can't do anything right. According to you, I'm difficult and hard to please. Forever changing my mind. I'm a mess in a dress, can't show up on time. Even if it would save my life. According to you, according to you.
But according to him, I'm beautiful, incredible. He can't get me out of his head. According to him I'm funny, irresistible. Everything he ever wanted. Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it. So baby tell me what I got to lose. He's into me for everything I'm not, according to you."
She was so cute and I had a feeling if she could be singing this to a certain ex right now she would. And boy was it true. He didn't realize what a good thing he had and had given up and I would forever be grateful for the fact that he is a complete moron. Bella really is everything to me. I slid the shower curtain back and climbed into the tub wrapping my arms around Bella as I did.
She squeaked and then spun around to press her lips to mine. This woman really would be the death of me. She deepened the kiss and then slid her hand down to my now fully erect cock. She stopped kissing me long enough to make me moan her name out loud and then she dropped to her knees in the shower and took all of me into her mouth. Okay maybe it wasn't all of me, but it was a good portion. I felt my self coming closer and closer to the edge and before I realized it I was spilling into Bella's hot little mouth.
"Damn Bella." I said through my smirk. She stood up and then leaned her head back into the water before smirking and then getting out of the tub. "Where in the hell do you think you're going?" I asked her.
"Well Edward if you must know I have to go get ready so we can meet my dad for lunch. Remember?" She questioned me.
"Ugghh. We still have a little time." I pleaded with her.
"No way Mr. Cullen. If we keep going we'll be late and I definitely don't want to have to explain that to my father." She said while she wrapped a white fluffy towel around herself. I definitely couldn't argue with her about that.
I quickly showered and shaved and then stepped out of the shower. When I got back into the bedroom Bella was standing in a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt and she looked absolutely adorable. I love to see Bella all dressed up like she was yesterday but this was definitely my favorite look on her. She looked so comfortable and just perfect. I walked by her to get my clothes from the drawer and make my quick daily check that the ring was still where I was hiding it and then I got dressed. I threw on a pair of jeans and a fitted gray t-shirt and I swear I heard Bella gasp when I finished pulling the shirt over my head.
"Everything okay dear?" I asked while smirking at her. She just smiled and then turned back around to finish with her hair.
We finished getting ready and then headed over to Charlie's house. He was making burgers on the grill and then we sat down and watched the Seahawks game. Emmett was having a great game again today and I was really proud that he was doing so well. We cheered as we watched and I realized that I wasn't even the least bit sad over missing the game today. It was worth it and I would miss every future game if it meant that today went well and Bella would say yes to my proposal.
The game had just finished and we decided to head back to the hotel to get ready for tonight. "Thanks for lunch dad." Bella said while hugging him.
"No problem Bells. I'll see you guys tonight at 6 o'clock at Breaking Dawn. You remember hot to get there right Bella?" Charlie asked her.
"Yeah Dad. We'll see you there. Are you sure you don't just want to ride with us?" she asked him.
He smirked at me and said "Nope, I'll be find to get there on my own Bella. This way I don't have to worry about you trying to dress me before we go. Lord only knows you'd probably make me wear a tie or something."
Bella smiled at her dad and hugged him again. "Okay, we'll see you there."
I shook Charlie's hand as I was walking out the door and gave him a nervous look. He patted me on the back for encouragement and then I followed Bella out to the car. We got in and headed back to the hotel.
"So I should probably tell you that I have a surprise for you tonight when we get back to the hotel." I told her.
"Edward you know how I feel about surprises." she told me.
"I know babe but this is a good one." I said back.
We pulled up to the hotel and I quickly parked the car and walked over to Bella's side to help her out. She took my hand and never released it as we walked through the lobby and to the elevators to go up to our room. When we got there I walked to the closet and pulled out the garment bag. I slid it open and pulled out my black slacks and dark blue button up shirt.
"Okay, you ready?" I asked her.
She smiled at me. "I guess so."
I pulled out the light blue strapless dress that I knew would hug each and every curve of hers perfectly. Alice had done a superb job in picking this out. I heard her gasp and cover her mouth.
"Edward, it's beautiful." she whispered.
"I was hoping you'd like it. I had Alice help me." I admitted.
"Why did you get me a new dress?" she asked.
This is when my acting skills were going to have to kick in. "Well, I made the mistake of telling Alice that I was thinking of taking you out to a nice dinner while we were here and she insisted that you would need a new dress for the occasion and then she insisted that it be a surprise. So I hope you like it."
"Like it? I absolutely love it." She said retrieving it from my hands. "I'm going to go freshen up a bit before I get ready okay." She said while holding the dress in front of her and walking to the bathroom.
This was perfect. I quickly dressed and made sure to try and tame my hair which was of course no use. I went to my hiding place and pulled the ring box out. I opened it and smiled looking at it and trying to remember everything I wanted to tell her and then I slid the velvet box into my pocket. I would have to remember not to get too close to Bella so that she couldn't feel it in my pocket. I knew that was going to be hard because she had just walked out of the bathroom wearing the dress.
It took my breath away and I couldn't help the smile that was plastered on my face. Just a little while more is all I would have to wait.
She finished getting ready and then we were walking down to the car to head to Breaking Dawn. It suppose to be a little romantic restaurant that overlooked the ocean on one of the many cliffs along Fork's shores. Charlie had confessed to me yesterday that it is where he had proposed to Bella's mom and after hearing that I knew that it was meant to be.
It was a short drive to the restaurant but it felt like it took an eternity. I pulled up and got out of the car so that the valet could take over. I walked over and helped Bella out of the passenger seat and then took her arm in mine. We walked over to the hostess and I said "I have reservations for Cullen."
She smiled up at me and said "Oh yes, Dr. Cullen. The rest of your party has not arrived yet but I'll show them to the table when they do. Please follow me."
She led us through the restaurant to a more romantic part that had windows all along the side that overlooked the ocean. Bella sighed next to me and sunk a little further into me. I held her around the waist and kissed the tip of her nose.
"It's beautiful Edward." she said.
"Yes it is." I said looking only at her and not the view to what she was referring to.
Bella then turned around to the table that the hostess had brought us to and looked at me confused. "I thought it was just my dad and your parents joining us." she said.
I was just about to open my mouth to speak and my family walked in to join us along with Charlie.
"What are you guys doing here?" Bella said to my siblings and their spouses.
"Well mom and dad told us that they were coming up here to have dinner with you guys and your dad and we decided to crash the party." Alice said with a smile.
"Oh, well, Dad this is Carlisle and Esme. Edward's parents." Bella said introducing Charlie to my parents. "And these guys are Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper. Emmett and Alice are Edward's brother and sister. Everyone, this is my dad Charlie." Bella said with a smile.
Everyone said their hellos and sat down around the table. There was an empty chair next to Charlie and Bella looked at it weird. "Is everyone here?" She asked me.
"Almost." I told her.
The waitress came by and I ordered a couple of bottles of wine for the table. I didn't want to ask for the Champaign quite yet.
Everyone was making small talk when I felt the butterflies in my stomach go into overdrive. I knew I had to do this and soon. Well, there's no time like the present. Right?
I stood from the table and Bella looked at me weird. "Um, everyone. If I could please have your attention." I said. Alice and Rosalie looked at me cheerfully and they knew what was coming. I looked to my mom and I thought she was going to cry and I hadn't even said anything yet. I looked to my dad and he looked thoughtful. Then I finally looked to Charlie and he gave me another encouraging smile.
"Well I'm glad that you were all able to make it here to dinner with us tonight. I've been hoping to get you all together for a while to meet and I'm glad that we were finally able to make it happen." I took a deep breath before I started to babble. "Bella, there is another reason that I wanted my family with us. I want everyone to know that I love you with all of my heart and soul. Before I met you I was a shell of the man that I wanted to be. I was walking around this earth empty and alone. The first day I laid eyes on you I felt my heart start to beat again. It hadn't beaten in a long time and you brought it back to life." I was holding her hand and smiling at her. I don't think she had any clue of what I was about to do. I motioned to the waitress who brought over my guitar that I had dropped off yesterday morning. Bella had no clue that I had even brought it with us. I pulled my chair back a little and Bella looked confused. I sat down and brought the guitar to my lap and began to strum.
"Bella there is so much that I want to say to you and this is the only way that I seem to be able to tell you everything that I want you to know." And then I started to play the chords to 'Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman' by Bryan Adams.
"To really love a woman, to understand her, you've gotta know her deep inside. Hear every thought, see every dream. An' give her wings when she wants to fly. Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms. You know you really love a woman.
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted. When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one. 'Cuz she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever. So tell me have you ever really? Really, really ever loved a woman?
To really love a woman, let her hold you, til you know how she needs to be touched. You've gotta breathe her, really taste her, til you can feel her in your blood. An' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes. You know you really love a woman.
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted. When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one. 'Cuz she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever. So tell me have you ever really? Really, really ever loved a woman?
Oh, you've got to give her some faith, hold her tight. A little tenderness, you've gotta treat her right. She will be there for you, takin' good care of you. You really gotta love your woman. Ya.
And when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms, you know you really love a woman.
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted. When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one. 'Cuz she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever. So tell me have you ever really? Really, really ever loved a woman? Yeah.
Just tell me have you ever really. Really, really ever loved a woman?
Oh, just tell me have you ever really. Really, really ever loved a woman?"
The guitar silenced and I looked at Bella. She was crying and smiling at the same time so I knew they were happy tears. I set the guitar down and knelt down beside her.
"Bella, I know that I have loved a woman and than woman is you. You are the only woman that I ever want to love again. You are my everything and I am willing to spend the rest of my existence showing you that. I know it's traditional to ask the parents for their daughter's hand in marriage and I have spoken to Charlie and I truly wish that I could have asked your mom. I know that you noticed that there is an extra chair at the table and that is because it is the seat that should have been held by her tonight." I looked into Bella's eyes and her hands grasped mine tighter. "Your mom will always be a part of your life and I know she is looking down at you from heaven right now and smiling because she loves you."
I took a deep breath and let go of one of Bella's hands and reached into my pocket. "Isabella Marie Swan, I have waited for you my entire life and I hope that you will make me the luckiest man on earth and agree to be my wife." I said while holding the little velvet box in my hand and placing it on her knee. I opened the box and the diamonds sparkled as soon as the light hit them. Bella gasped and I was hoping that she would recognized the ring. Charlie had told me that after her mom had passed away Bella would sit at her dresser and just look through her jewelry and hold her ring.
I lifted the ring from the box. "Bella, this was your mother's ring and Charlie gave it to me to give to you. I made a few adjustments so that it would be you're ring too and not just your mother's but I also made one minor change that will help to keep her near to your heart always." I twisted the ring around so that she could see the initials R.S. on the inside of the ring.
Bella was crying and still had not given me an answer. I was starting to get worried. I looked to my mother and she was crying into my father's shoulder. Then I looked at the rest of my family and they all had tears in their eyes. I looked to Charlie and he looked proud and sad.
"Bella, I…" Was all I got out when Bella thrust herself at me and kissed me with force. I grabbed her around the waist and stood up. I kissed her back and soon she had her hands wrapped in my hair. "Is that a yes?" I asked when we broke apart for air.
"Edward I love you so much and it would be an honor to be your wife. Yes, I'll marry you." she said.
Okay people so there it finally is! Like It? Love It? Hate It? Let me know please! I think that deserves a little love. You finally got the proposal you have been waiting for. I hope it lived up to your expectations. Thanks again to Joy's of Twilight who helped me with many of the ideas for the proposal. I couldn't have done it without you!
Well this has been a really shitty week for me and I'm hoping that you will review and make it a little better. Real Life can definitely come around and bite you in the ass sometimes.
Please review and tell me what you think of my story so far!
P.S. If you have never heard the Bryan Adams song 'Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman' I highly suggest you go and youtube it now! It is a beautiful and romantic song and I played it many times while writing the proposal to help get me in the mood!
