Chapter 36: Answer

BPOV

I have no clue how I was able to drive. I cried the whole way back to Edwards's house. I was so offended by what James said to me. His words hurt and I could not wait to be back in Edward's arms and forget all about this day.

As soon as I pulled into the drive way, Edward was right there. He picked me up in his arms and all the pain went away. We drove to the beach house and he held me tight all night and did not say a word. When I cried into his shirt, his grip got tighter. He knew just what to do; he did not ask me anything, he just let me be.

I woke up in the morning and I felt at home in Edward's arms. He made me breakfast and we ate in silence. It was perfect. Later Edward asked me to take a walk on the beach. It was a typical misty day but it was just right. We stayed out on the beach all day walking hand and hand or just sitting on the rocks gazing out over the ocean. We reminisced about the old days. I told him how Jacob and Leah are married and expecting their first child. We talked about school he told me all about the beauty of Boston and I found myself wanting to go there. I told him all about the cute things that CJ does and how he is clumsy just like me.

As dusk set in we climbed the stairs that led to the cliff overlooking the sea. There were no stars, no moon just the midnight blue of the hazy, misty sky.

Edward took his hand in my and I gazed into his eyes. He took my left hand in his.

"Bella, you know how much I love and you know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you." I could feel him trembling.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the little black box. My heart was racing. He told me a wonderful story about his grandparents and there love. He told me that his grandmother wanted him to give his one true love her engagement ring he started to open the box and I felt my heart stop. I withdrew my hand from his grip and placed it over his.

"Edward," I choked with tears in my eyes.

"I…" I couldn't speak I had always dreamed of this moment with Edward. The day he came to the church and I looked into his eyes, I knew that I was making the right choice. I knew that I was foolish for ever considering anyone else. There was no one in this world that I wanted to be with more than Edward. And even after everything I put him through he still wants to be with me. My heart beat was soaring with love for this man. I looked in his eyes and I saw my soul staring back at me and I knew that he was my one true love

"Isabella Marie Swan, will you marry me?" he asked softly. A tear fell from his eye and I reached over and brushed it away. I let my palm rest on his cheek and turned his face and gave my palm a kiss.

"Edward Anthony Cullen, I will marry you." I reached my left hand out and he put the ring on my finger.

He reached over and pulled me into a hug. He kissed down my jaw line, to my neck then back up. Our lips met as our hands roamed each other's bodies.

"Edward, take me to the house and make love to me?"

We both stood up and we practically ran back to the beach house. When we got to the door, he turned to me and lifted me up, I wrapped my legs around his waist and we kissed each other hungrily. We made our way to the bedroom shirts and shoes flying off on the way. Edward laid me on the bed and enticingly he slipped my pants down and started to kiss my stomach and caress my breasts. I let out a little moan my stomach turning in anticipation for him. I grabbed his head and brought it up to my face.

"I need you Edward." I said kissing his lips.

"Patience my love, we have our whole lives."

He kissed my lips then trailed his kisses down to my breasts. He made his way down and I felt my stomach churn with pain of needing to feel Edward inside me. He licked around my spot teasing me with his tongue. The torture of waiting for him was unbearable. I sat up and pushed him on his back. I straddled him but before letting him enter me, I went down and teased him as well. He let out a sexy groan that made my arousal get even more painful. I reached over to his pants and grabbed a condom. I seductively slid it down. When it was on I reached over and gave his pubic bone a kiss and with a swift movement I was under him and he was rocking inside me. We made passionate love all night long, neither one of us wanting the night; the feeling the love of what was happening to end.

We stood at the window his arms wrapped around me watching the sunrise together. I gazed at my ring; I could not believe that I was here, finally with Edward, loving him freely and with no feelings of doubt what so ever. We crawled into bed and I cuddled my face to his chest. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head.

"I love you so deeply so very deeply, Edward Cullen."

"And I love you, Isabella Swan"
