Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.
A/N: Sorry for the delay. I'm sure by now that everyone has heard, but the east coast just got smashed with a hurricane. Sandy is a bitch, and knocked out my power for a few days, but we're all okay. No permanent damage and everyone in my family is safe, so that's all that matters. Thanks for your patience. Okay, this is the last official chapter for WINKIAW. I'm just gonna go grab some tissues.
"What?" I ask stupidly.
He smiles at me, a cute little lopsided grin planted on his face. He reaches into his jacket and pulls out a tiny black velvet box. My breath catches at the sight of it. Did he really ask me to marry him? "Edward…"
He uses his free hand to place an index finger over my top lip and his thumb under my bottom lip, squeezing them together to shush me. He chuckles at me when I grunt and try to release my lips. "If I release you will you be quiet?"
I nod.
"Isabella Marie Swan, I have known you, literally, my whole entire life. There hasn't been a day that I didn't know you existed. For years and years my heart and soul knew what I wanted. The love I have for you has always been a part of me, building and building and building until the dam had to snap – it was too much for my heart to contain by itself anymore, so it spread. My love for you spread like lightning through my body, filling me up and completing me. Once my brain realized that you were it, I knew I had to have you. And right now Bella, my mind, my heart, and my soul are all one the same page and recognize one thing: I want you forever. Will you make me the happiest and luckiest man on the Earth…and be my wife?"
My eyes fill with tears quickly, blurring him from my vision. I blink them away, not caring that I'm ruining my makeup right now. "I…probably look like a raccoon right now. Are you sure you want to marry a raccoon?" He laughs and shakes his head before burying his face in my chest.
"What am I going to do with you?" he asks in amusement.
"Love me?" I ask quietly as I place each of my hands on the side of his face, lifting him to look at me.
"I'll love you forever if you'll let me."
I start nodding, and crying – again. "Yes. Yes. Yes." I keep chanting it over and over, until he crashes his lips against mine. I open my mouth to him quickly, moaning when our tongues tangle together. He whimpers and I pull back, breaking the kiss to look at him.
His breathing is heavy and ragged and his perfect green eyes are full of tears. He blinks and I watch in fascination as a tear slides down his cheek. "Are you sure you still want to marry me? A husband who cries? That can't be good for you," he laughs sarcastically before looking down.
I pull out one of his famous moves, and place my finger under his chin, lifting his gaze to meet mine.
"You crying makes me want to marry you even more," I say before kissing the path of his tears down to his lips. I place a gentle kiss there, loving how soft his lips are against mine. "And you know what else it makes me want to do?" I mutter against his lips.
"What?" he whispers.
"Fuck your brains out."
He stutters out a laugh before burying his face in my neck. "I love you Bella, so fucking much."
"I love you too baby, forever."

As we walk back home, I'm a little grumpy – I didn't get my engagement sex. Edward said it wouldn't have been right, having sex in the middle of a park like that after getting engaged. I argued it was fine while we were dating – so what's the big deal? Then we both realized that you just had our first fight as an engaged couple – about where to have sex. That made us burst into giggles.
Edward hooks his pinky around mine as we walk and I look at our joined hands, smiling when I see my ring. It's fucking gorgeous. A perfectly round diamond surrounded by two beautiful sapphires, all set together on a platinum band. I smile when I think of Edward remembering how much I hate gold.
"What are you smiling about future wife?" he asks me happily with a smile on his face.
I smile back at him as I answer truthfully with a shrug, "You."
-XXX-
"Do you want to take your ring off until after dinner babe?" Edward asks on the porch of my house. I narrow my eyes at him and he laughs. "What? I just don't want you to get bombarded. I'm trying to protect you." He winks at me, hoping to erase some of my annoyance, I'm sure, and it works…slightly.
"I'm never taking this ring off. Got it mister?"
"Got it," he says with a smile. "I'll protect you from the crazies."
The second we walk into my house my mother descends. I'm pretty sure she was stalking us through the mail slot or something, because she grabs me into a hug and screams, yes screams, "You're engaged! You did it!" She turns to Edward and hugs him tightly. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Everyone laughs when she turns to Esme and screams. "We're going to officially be related!"
"Do you think we'll be able to sneak away?" Edward whispers. I chuckle as I look at our parents, having their own mini celebration at the dinner table. They're celebrating so much; you'd think they were getting engaged to each other. I nod and smile up at him.
"I don't think it'll be a problem at all. I guarantee our parents are going to be so trashed that your parents are going to crash here tonight. As soon as we're done eating, we're out of here." I bite my lip and scoot my chair closer to his. I lean in close to whisper in his ear. "And if they stay here, we can be as loud as we want."
He groans and adjusts himself discreetly underneath the table. Or at least I think it's discreetly. Emmett on the other hand, doesn't. "Aw shit. You're out for poker tonight, huh bro?" he asks with a frown.
I answer for him. "He's definitely not playing poker tonight Emmett. I have a new game to play with my fiancé."
Edward smirks at me and kisses me soundly, placing his hand on the back of my neck to hold me in place. "You do huh?" he murmurs against my lips.
"Yes. It's called the 'who can get naked faster' game."
"Fuck."
"Me?" I ask teasingly.
-XXX-
"So how exactly does this game work?" Edward asks me as we walk into his childhood bedroom.
"On the count of three, we both strip, whoever is naked first, wins."
He grins at me and starts counting down.
"One."
"Two."
"Three!"
We both begin ripping our clothes off quickly, never taking our eyes off each other.
I win.
"Okay fine," Edward huffs. "You win. What's your prize?"
I grin at him wickedly. "You sit there," I point to the edge of his bed. He does as I ask, sitting on the edge of his bed. I stare at him, admiring his body as I walk toward him. He smirks at me and licks his lips. "See something you like?" he asks. I nod and bite my lip. He groans. I grin. This is going to fun.
"Are you ready for the rules?"
His eyebrows shoot into his hairline. "Rules?"
"Yep, it's time for game number two," I say with a nod. "There are rules tonight. Are you going to be a good boy and listen?"
He smiles at me sweetly and grabs my hips as I step in between his spread legs. "Uh uh uh," I scold with a pointed finger. "That's the one and only rule."
He looks at me with confusion. "Huh?"
I remove his hands and place them on his bed. "No touching."
"What?" he asks, shocked by my words. It makes me giggle.
"Yep. You're not allowed to touch. Scoot back a bit."
He scoots backward until the back of his knees are against the edge of his bed. I kneel over him, placing each of my shins on the mattress on each side of his thighs. I place my hands on his shoulders and rest my ass against his knees. He takes a deep breath and attempts to put his hands on my hips again.
"Uh, uh, Cullen. What did I just get done telling you?"
His eyes widen. "You were serious?"
"Of course I was serious," I laugh and shake my head. I grab his hands and place them on the mattress. "No touching."
"But Bella-"
"No touching."
"What am I supposed to do then?"
"Be a good boy," I answer with a smirk. "No touching earns you a prize."
"What prize?"
"Can't tell you that baby, sorry."
He huffs and leans back a bit, resting on his elbows and gripping the sheet in his fists. "Fine."
"Don't look so sad. I'll make it worth your while." He grins at that statement.
I lean in, pressing my lips lightly against his, kissing him chastely. He leans forward a bit, trying to press his lips harder against mine, but I pull back, not letting him get the pressure he wants. "Bella," he pleads raising his hands again.
"Don't touch Edward."
I wrap my arms around his neck and press my chest against his. He groans and nips at my bottom lip, pulling it into his mouth and sucking roughly. "Mmmm," I moan into his mouth, scooting my body higher up his thighs.
He turns his head slightly, breaking the kiss and diving for my neck, sucking lightly. "Edward," I whimper as I slowly rock against him, letting the head of his cock graze my soaking lips.
"Fuck this Bella. I need to fucking touch you." He grips my hips hard, pulling me against his cock roughly. The head hits my clit and I cry out before rocking harder against him. Fuck the rules. "I want you so much baby."
"Take me." I reach between us and grab his cock, rubbing him a few times before positioning him at my entrance and sinking down slowly. We both groan at the sensation. Edward's lips attach to my neck again, sucking slowly. I lean my head back, giving him better access to my neck as we rock together.
"I can't go slow baby," he murmurs against my neck.
"Don't."
His hands slide down to my ass, squeezing it hard and using his hands' position to move me over him fast and hard. He raises his hips to meet my downward thrusts. We're both panting and grabbing at each other anywhere we can. His hands find my breasts, tweaking and pinching my nipples. I gasp and shove my hands into his hair, pulling hard and causing him to gasp right along with me.
"So close," I tell him in between moans and groans. "Don't stop, ung, baby…fuck…faster."
He listens, speeding up his hips. He moves his hands back to my ass, holding me still as he pounds up into me. "Fuck! Edward!" My orgasm hits me like a truck, hard and out of nowhere, rushing through my body like lightning.
He pushes deep inside me once more, staying still as he rolls us over. "Move up the bed baby. Slowly, I don't want to leave you."
In some weird combo move, we get further up the bed with him still inside me. We're both giggling as I settle against the pillows. "I love you," Edward says quietly before pressing his lips against mine. I open up to him, moaning when our tongues tangle together. He starts moving inside me again slowly, looking intensely into my eyes.
"I love you so much Edward," I say quietly, trying to fight back the emotion that's threatening to spill out.
He fills me over and over again and I watch in fascination as his brow scrunches together and his mouth opens slightly. He's fighting off his orgasm, and that's the last thing I want. "Edward," I say as I run my hands up and down the side of his face. "Come inside me baby."
He groans and presses his forehead against mine, staring into my eyes. "You're going to be my wife."
"Forever."
His thrusts become sporadic and shallow as he gasps against my neck. "Promise?"
"I promise."
"Fuck!" he shouts as he spills deep inside me, pumping in and out of me slowly before collapsing on top of me. "God baby that was incredible. I can't believe I get to do that every day for the rest of my life."
I can't help but giggle at him. "Is that why you're marrying me. Free sex?"
He rolls his eyes. "Duh."
"Yeah, I'm only marrying you for your dick."
"Thank you for that compliment baby," he says with a chuckle before kissing me lightly on the lips. "I'm exhausted. You wanna sleep or go play poker? I'll do whichever you want."
"I just wanna stay with you tonight. Just us."
"Okay baby." He rolls us over, so we're facing each other, and slides his legs in between mine. "I love you."
"I love you." I kiss his lips and he hums against my mouth.
I drift off to sleep not long after, not able to remember ever being this happy.

AUGUST
"You all packed up baby?" Edward asks as he steps behind me and wraps his arms around my waist.
I shrug, leaning back against him and sighing heavily. "I guess. I don't want to be."
He laughs against my neck before kissing it. "We're not leaving for two days. It'll be okay."
"But we're engaged now." I turn around in his arms and rest my head against his heart. "I don't ever want to be away from you." I frown up at him and he frowns back.
"I know Bella. I don't want to be away from you, ever, but we have to do this. Remember, this is our last year apart." He grins at me and winks. "You won't be able to get rid of me after this year, so you better enjoy it."
"Yeah, I should probably date around. You know, get it out of my system," I joke as he scowls at me.
"Oh yeah?" he asks with a smirk. "Sick of my lovin' skills already, future Mrs. Cullen?"
My heart starts pounding when he mentions me being 'Mrs. Cullen', but I play it off. I shrug. "They're okay I guess. Kinda boring."
"I'll show you boring," he says as he tickles me, crashing us both down onto his bed.
"Show me baby."
-XXX-
"I'm going to miss you guys so much!" Alice cries as she wraps both Edward and I in a bear hug. She may be tiny, but the bitch is strong. "Promise to call and text and email more this year," she says, releasing me and staring at me with narrowed eyes.
I roll mine in response. "Alice I probably send you fifty texts a day. Stop complaining." She pouts and I huff. "Fine, I'll make sure to send more emails and call once a day…Mom."
She grins and hugs me again, more tightly this time, practically cutting off my circulation. "And you!" She turns to Edward and plants her hands on her hips. He gulps – as he should. Alice can be scary at times. "I hardly ever hear from you. That better change this year. Got it?" I hear Jasper snicker from behind her and she whirls around glaring at him. "What's so funny? Do you think you're tough now that you have a badge?"
Jasper takes a step back and holds his hands up defensively. I burst out into a fit of giggles and Rose joins in. "Holy shit that's hilarious." I nod in agreement. Seeing Jasper in his Forks police uniform – gun, badge, and all, cowering away from Alice has to be the funniest thing I've ever seen.
"Hey Ali?" Edward says quietly, tugging on her hand until she's close enough to hug. "I promise I'll be in touch more okay? You know I'm trying to be a doctor and save lives…but you're right, calling you is more important than my education." He winks at her and she smiles up at him.
Stupid charming asshole.
I love him.
"Give me my baby bro Alice."
Emmett grabs Edward in a hug and spins him around. "Let me the fuck down, Em. You're making a scene." Emmett scoffs as he places him down. "Who cares bro? Like an airport hasn't seen brotherly love before."
Rosalie pulls on my hand, silently asking me to step away with her.
"I'm so happy for you Bella." She smiles at me and hugs me tightly. "You deserve this. You deserve so much happiness and I'm so glad you're getting it. No matter what happens after this year, no matter where you two end up; remember that I'm here for you okay?" Her voice cracks and I pull back, truly surprised by Rose's emotion. "What?" she asks defensively as she angrily swipes at her eyes. "I can cry, I have tear ducts too, you know."
I laugh and she joins in. I pull her to me again and kiss her temple. "I love you Rose. You're my best friend."
"I love you too Bella."
We pull apart and I see her head for Edward while I head for Jasper.
"Hey B."
"Hey J."
We both grin at each other.
"Watch out for my boy all right? You'll be seeing him more than I will, so he's your problem."
"You know you say the same thing every year, right?" I ask with a laugh.
He grins and nods. "Yup. I'm a simple man Bella."
"I have a new task for you."
"What's that?" he asks.
"You know your Alice duties by heart by now," he laughs and nods, "but now that you're working with my Dad, you gotta look after him too."
"Of course I will."
"Thanks Jasper." He hugs me close to him and I smile as I bury my face into his uniform. He's worked so hard to get his dream. "I love you."
"Love you too, sugar."
"Ready to go babe?" Edward asks as I detach myself from Jasper. I nod and smile at him. We're going to Boston together, spending two days together before I fly back to New York for school.
"What the fuck Bella?" Emmett asks with a frown on his face. "Everyone else gets a goodbye except for me?" I pretend to not hear him and he grumbles behind me. I try my hardest not to laugh and somehow succeed, even when Edward starts snickering. "Bella…" Emmett whines. "Okay, fine. I'm sorry that I interrupted your sexy times the other night. Now can I get a goodbye?"
I turn around and smile at him. "Yep." I hold my arms out to him and he runs into them like a little kid who's happy that his mom is no longer mad at him. He picks me up and spins me, just like he did to Edward, but I don't complain, I just giggle and enjoy it. Emmett has always been like a big brother to me, but over the last couple of years we've gotten closer. "Take care of my brother," he whispers against my ear. "I will." I can feel him smile against my neck. "And Bella? I can't wait until you're officially my sister."
I pull back and look at his face, seeing nothing but pure love and honesty in his eyes. "I hate you Emmett," I grumble as I wipe away tears. "Only you would end up making me cry."
He grins at me and shrugs. "Sorry."
"All right, if you're done hogging my fiancé now," God I love how that sounds, "I'll be taking her away from you." Everyone laughs as Edward pulls me out of Emmett's grasp.
He hugs me closely to his side as we both say goodbye to our entourage. They're all smiles as they wave goodbye to us.
-XXX-
Once we're seated in the plane, I rest my head against Edward's shoulder. I let him have the window seat because he loves them so much, plus it kind of creeps me out to see how far up we actually are. I let out a content sigh and Edward kisses my forehead. "What's up?" he asks quietly against my skin.
"I never knew I wanted this," I whisper.
It's true. I never knew that I wanted to be someone's wife one day. It hadn't really ever crossed my mind before, but ever since Edward proposed a few months ago, my thoughts have been consumed of the future. What will my dress look like? Where will we live? Will Edward succeed and become a pediatrician? How many kids will we have? Will I get a publishing deal? What will we name our children? It's all I think about.
"Wanted what?" he asks.
"Everything. I never knew I'd want everything with someone. But I want that with you." I look up at him and smile. "You're what I never knew I always wanted, but I'm so glad I know now. I know you're what I want forever."
"Bella," he breathes my name before pressing his lips gently against mine. "I love you so much."
"I love you too."
"Forever."
"And always."
