CHAPTER 36 – STAGE PLAY
6 months later—
RIIING…
RIIING…
RIIING…
I picked my phone up from the table and answered it as I packed my things into my bag.
"Swan here."
"Bella, we got a 4-1-1." Jazz answered.
"Jazz I'm off. And so are you."
"I know, Bells. It's important though the chief called."
"Why can't he just cross to my office and come talk to me."
"That's because he's at the crime scene. Now hurry up."
"Fine. Where?"
I wrote down the address he gave me and I picked my gun up.
"It's a warehouse right?"
"Yep."
"Alright, I'll be right there. I just got to call Edward first. We were supposed to go to dinner."
"Alright. Later."
"Later."
I sighed and walked out of my office making sure my gun and badge were with me before running towards my car.
I sighed in annoyance and called Edward.
"Hey, love. You on your way home?"
"Hey, baby. Well, that's why I called. I was on my way but something turned up, they need me at the scene for a while. I'm sorry; I know we were supposed to go out.'
"Its fine Bells, I understand. We can go some other time. Call me if something comes up, alright?"
"I will. I love you."
"I love you too. Now go catch the bad guys of the city." He said a smile apparent on his voice
I chuckled.
"Alright. I'll see you later."
"Later. Bye."
"Bye."
We hang up and I sighed before driving away towards the scene.

"Jasper, what the heck is so special about this case? And where's the chief?"
"He went back to the office. The cadaver's in the back. Look for yourself." He said. "Just follow the yellow tape." He said and turned back to the cop who I think was the first responder.
I sighed and pulled my gloves on and walked into the warehouse. The place was dimly lit but I can still find my way around without tripping on something. Or my own two feet.
I walked forward looking around for signs of anything when I heard movement. I unholstered my gun and pointed my flashlight towards the sound.
I took my radio.
"Jasper, there's movement in one of the rooms about 100 yards away from the entrance."
"Copy that, we're on our way."
Then there was silence as I waited for them to get there.
A few minutes passed and they still weren't there. I debated going back out front to get see what was taking so long but I heard another movement.
I huffed and decided to check it out by myself.
I raised my gun up and moved forward silently and as stealthily as I could.
I opened the door and stumbled back when I saw what was beyond it.
It wasn't a room. It was a meadow. An array of candles were scattered around the meadow, flowers were dotting around it.
As I focused my eyes I found Edward standing in the middle of the meadow with a smile on his face. The sunset hitting him just at the right angle and it made him look like more of a Greek god; he had a lily in his hand.
"Took you long enough."
"Edward? What in god's name are you doing at a crime scene?"
he moved towards me and gave me the flower.
"Come on."
"Am I dead? Oh shit! I knew I should have waited for the others to come. Shit! Edwards going to kill himself."
"Bella! you are not dead! There is no crime scene." Yeah right Edward. If you really are Edward. But the cop car out front beg to differ."
He ran his hands through his hair and sighed.
"Bella, follow me, I'll explain. And can you remove the gloves and put the gun away it's scaring me a bit."
I raised my brows at him and did as he said.
"So… explain. What is going on and can you hurry up. I've got a dead body in the back."
"There is no body. If you go back there all you'll find are trees. The warehouse isn't even a real warehouse."
"Okay…"
He sat down on the grass and sighed. I sat beside him and stared at him.
"Remember 2 months ago? When I went on a business trip? I dropped by grandma Liz and she was so excited to see me." he said and I was shocked because he didn't tell me that. "well, she asked about you and I guess I kind of lit up and all while I told her about you. We talked for hours and well, when it was time to leave she gave me something to give to you. She said I was ready."
He paused.
"Ready for what?" he took a deep breath.
"I dropped by Charlie's office before I came back and told him about it. and as we talked I knew grandma was right. And I know you're shocked that I went to Charlie but that's because I needed his opinion on it. and he was happy about it. but then there was another problem. I didn't know how to do it without making you suspicious." He said and glanced at me with a small smile. "I talked to the others and Alice suggested that we do a stage play." he chuckled.
"I knew if I took you out, you'll figure out what I was up to and that made me stress out. Jasper suggested we stage a crime scene and you were sure not to question it. So here we are, he called you and told you where we were and said there was a dead body out back, but I will be the one waiting for you."
"What's this about Edward? What were you ready for?" he reached into his pocket and took out a small square box.
He took a shaky breath and stood us up. He kissed my knuckles and knelt on one knee.
I gasped.
"Edward?" I whispered.
"Bella, I have loved you since I've laid my eyes on you and I've loved you more everyday that passed by. I'm not perfect but I promise to be what you deserve. Nothing in this world is ever going to make my love for you disappear. Isabella Marie Swan, Will you marry me?"
I tackled him to the ground and planted kisses all over his face; tears were freely falling from my eyes.
"yes, Edward, I'll marry you."
"thank you so much. you've made me the happiest man alive." He said before pulling me to his lips.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too, baby."
So… How was it?
I don't think it was that good and if you want me to change it I can do that within a a few days so let me know.
