Saturday night
Since Rosalie and Jasper's birthday was on a Saturday, they welcomed their birthday party to a few friends at school as well as their parent's family. The song, "Saturday Night" by Bay City Rollers filled the house. It was May 23rd. Renée had left for Jacksonville, as Bella and Charlie were on the mend and had plenty of help from the Cullens. Rosalie was dressed in a pink shirred shoulder top, cream ruffled skirt and white peep-toe pumps. Alice was dressed in a purple short sleeve dress with black sheer overlay skirt with black polka dots and black peep-toe pumps. Bella was dressed in a white short sleeve top with blue tennis skirt and black Converse sneakers. Bella felt like she stood out because of her sneakers instead of heels like what most of the other girls would be wearing, but her ankle was just coming out of her walking boot and heels right now, would not work.
"You're perfect," Edward said when he opened the door after Charlie dropped her off to the party. Alice groaned.
"Oh, what about the black heels?"
"Alice, drop it," Edward said.
"Happy Birthday Jasper," Bella said handing him a green square candy present box. "I know these are your favorite."
"Peppermint humbugs! Oh great," Jasper said taking the present. Bella smiled.
"Where is Rosalie?" Bella asked, she had Rosalie's favorite candy, Swedish fish, inside a nice tin can as well.
"Who cares," Edward said. Bella glared at him.
"Still getting ready, but we have a pasta salad bar and baked potato bar with all the veggies you can think of, come on," Alice said. "Angela and Eric arrived as well."
Bella walked upstairs to find Rosalie and Emmett arguing. Since coming back from visiting his sick grandfather, Emmett has been seen for week and week making out with several different girls after Marie. There was also Lucy, Chelsea, and a little bit of Lauren and Tanya mixed in there. Emmett did regret Lauren and Tanya, who obsessed over getting back to him. Both girl got beat up by Rosalie in a jealous fit when they tried to tease Rosalie, which is why Tanya is never without Irina and Kate, for protection. Now Emmett was supposedly dating Jane those he was taking things much slower with her because of her psychotic brother, Alec.
"Rosalie, I am so done! You can't use me anymore."
"I was never using you!"
"Liar! You only got with me because you thought it would make Edward jealous! But Edward doesn't care about you! Just like you don't care about me!"
"That's not true! I love you!"
"You only loved me to hid your true feelings for Edward!"
"You said you would try forgive me, remember? You said, we could try again, remember? Last month, when we thought Bella was going to die, you forgave me!"
"I tried to, Rose, I really did. But then I saw what I was blinded to for years, you didn't love me, you only pretended to."
"No! At first maybe, but I haven't thought about being with Edward since you, since we had sex, how could I when I love you so much?"
"Then why hate Bella?"
"Because I was jealous ok!"
"Why, if you so love me?"
"Because jealousy is stupid. It makes you stupid! For a moment, I felt like if I couldn't have Edward, so no girl should. And for the longest time, he never looked at another girl so, it was fine. And then we got together and I forgot about it. But to find out he loved Bella from the first moment he saw her in that mental hospital and now she was here, and I, I envied her, which I hated myself for. Because I didn't fall in love with you in an instant like that and I was jealous he could with her and not me. It took time, but I...I grew to love you over time Emmett. I swear."
"Then you wouldn't have cared or even got jealous of Bella being in Edward's life."
"I kept telling myself I was protecting my brother from Bella hurting him again."
"Bella didn't hurt Edward."
"She did when she turned him in for lying to her. Edward is my brother…"
"A brother you're in love with."
"I don't...I'm not in love with Edward like that any more, I swear Emmett."
"Stop lying to me, and stop lying to yourself."
Emmett walked away. Bella hid against the wall. Rosalie broke down, sliding to the ground as she cried. Bella walked over to Rosalie. She kneeled down and hugged her. Rosalie held Bella tight, while crying.
"You shouldn't be crying," Bella said.
"It's my birthday and I will cry if I want to." Bella and Rosalie looked at each other. They both chuckled.
"I'm sorry about Emmett."
"It's my fault. I just wished I knew how to make him see how much I love him."
"Maybe it's not something you can make him see. But make him feel and believe." Edward found them on the ground, Rosalie with her head on Bella's shoulder, while Bella rubbed her legs. Bella and Edward locked eyes. Edward nodded. He walked away, leaving the girls some privacy.
Edward and Bella found themselves at their meadow again. Bella didn't want to stay in the house another day studying, so Edward offered a trip to their meadow. It was just before summer break. Edward helped Bella the most trip since her thigh was still healing after the mid-April's attack. Bella hated the crutches, and happy that was done. There were times Edward carried Bella around since it was better, which Bella hated as well, but Edward swore his bookbag weighed more in basketball camp. It was Sunday, May 31st, the day before the week of final tests, final projects, and end of sophomore school year. School ended Friday, June 5th. The flowers were in such a beautiful bloom. Edward spread out a nice red checker plaid thick blanket for them.
"Oh man, it's beautiful here!"
"I know," Edward said relaxing on the blanket with Bella. Bella opened the food basket that Esme made for them. Edward helped Bella unload the picnic. He pulled out the 2 wine bottles, one filled with chilled ice water, and another former wine bottle filled with mint lemonade. Edward grabbed 2 cups and filled them with water.
Bella smiled as Edward acted like a mature man opening a bottle of wine by corkscrew, though it was it just lemonade. Bella looks at Edward with such love. She was smiling, sitting on the blanket in middle of nature, their meadow. When Bella stuck her hand back into the basket and felt a ring box. Bella gasped when she saw a black velvet ring box. She looked at Edward. He smiled. Edward pulled out the black velvet ring box. He opened the box to reveal an antique Victorian gold platinum with sapphire center gemstone, and diamond halo ring.
"Marry me, Bella." Bella gasped.
"Edward!"
"Ok, ok, ok! It's not a true diamond ring, but I almost got you right."
"You were joking?"
"About marrying you, never. That will come. But this isn't an engagement ring."
"It looks like one." Edward smiled.
"I know."
"Trust me, you will know when I am proposing."
"Ok, then why the ring?"
"I was going to wait until September to give it to you, since it's your birthstone, but after all that has happened so far this year, I realize, waiting is silly."
"It's very pretty." Edward grabbed Bella's left hand other hand since her right hand held the heart-shaped opal promise ring on her ring finger. He fit the ring perfectly to her middle finger on her left hand. "Another one of your mother's rings?"
"Actually, this one belonged to my grandmother. Esme isn't a sapphire lover, and she hates for a good ring to waste away in her drawer. She thought since it was your birthstone, she wanted you to have it but didn't know if you take it from her as a gift."
"I love it. Tell her, I will cherish this ring, and be honored to wear it." Edward smiled as Bella admire the new ring on her finger. Bella leaned over and kissed Edward on the lips. "I love you."
"I love you too, now, let's eat! I'm starving!" Bella chuckled.
"You're always hungry!"
"I am a growing man!"
"That you are," Bella said patting his stomach.
Edward grabbed the fruit platter first to set aside, while Bella found some classical music to play on her phone. Esme knew since they were going to picnic away from home, their picnic must be fairly easy to carry and to keep fresh. Bella helped Edward lay out a platter with different cheeses, antipasto, fruit and sliced meats for Edward. Esme loved to use several different types of cheeses, like brie, camembert, vintage cheddar or blue cheese with some mixed cream cheeses like apricot and coconut or onion and chives. Esme made a mixed antipasto of roast capsicum, pickled mushrooms, semi-sundried tomatoes, marinated artichokes and an olive tapenade.
Edward and Bella shared the cheese and antipasto platter, while Edward ate all of the salami, prosciutto and smoked salmon. They ate slowly, enjoying the picnic, the music, and just being there in their private spot. After finishing all the food, Edward held up a plate of strawberries. Bella smiled as he feed her one. They laid on their back in a line, their heads next to each other.
"You full?" Edward asked.
"Happily full." Edward smiled, as Bella rubbed her stomach. Their heads turned to each other.
"So.."
"So…" They rested a while just listening to music and enjoying the meadow. "You and Rosalie seem like best friends now." Bella chuckled. Rosalie and Bella have hung out alone, once since her birthday a week ago. One time with Alice, as well as Esme, when Esme treated her girls to a spa day before school ended.
"Well, she needs a friend."
"Why does it have to be you?"
"Edward, that's your sister right?"
"Right," Edward said.
"She needs a friend."
"She has Alice, and our mother."
"And me."
"Ok, I guess, I just don't know why you bother."
"What we should be talking about is how to get Emmett and Rosalie back together."
"I am not interested in impossible task." Bella laughed. "What?"
"I'm going to miss you."
"Basketball camp is barely 2 weeks. Your new best friend, Rosalie, will keep you busy enough you won't have time to miss me."
"Of course I will miss you." Edward kissed Bella upside down.
"You sure?"
"Abso-freakin-lutely."
Bella moaned, her hands holding Edward's hands, as his head was buried between her legs.
"Oh God," Bella cried out when his tongue connected to her pussy.
"No, I'm Edward…"
"Oh, my...Edward," Bella moaned, as Edward licked and sucked her pussy. Edward felt himself getting hard with each lick and the sounds Bella was making above his head. When Edward sucked on Bella's clit, she came hard. Bella pulled Edward toward her. She kissed him hard.
"I need you."
"You have me Bella. Forever," Edward said.
Edward held Bella in his lap, as they were making love. Bella caressed Edward's chest, while they were kissing and having passionate sex while sitting up, staring at each other. In their meadow, they were the only one for miles. In their meadow, their love was true. Bella held Edward's neck, kissing him.
Bella cupped Edward's face as he moved on top of her. She welcomed his weight on top of her. Edward kissed Bella's cheeks, forehead, nose, and neck before leaning down to circle her nipples with his tongue. Bella wrapped her arms around Edward when his found her mouth again. They kissed.
"Don't leave me."
"Never."
"Promise."
"I'm right here Bella. Forever."
AN: Rosalie and Emmett are done! Edward and Bella are in perfect love bliss.. but is anything forever. Major changes ahead!
