A/N: School got canceled for today so here I am. Just a heads up… I'm going to be gone to a youth conference this weekend so I won't be able to update this weekend or tomorrow. This is probably my last update till Monday or Tuesday… I'll try to make it longer. A lot will happen in the next few chapters.

Chapter 8

I fumbled for words at the sight before me. "Bella, will you be mine for all eternity?"

Light danced off the engagement ring. My mom had taught me that marriage was a bad think and that I was never supposed to get married young. All I could think of was Edward and I together forever. "

"Yes Edward." I slid the pizza off my lap and jumped into his arms.

He stood up swinging me around and placed a rough kiss on my lips. "I love you Bella. You've just made me the happiest man on earth."

I kissed him back enthusiastically and my hands got lost in his hair. "I love you too Edward."

We fell back on the couch and his hand caressed my cheek. "My Bella."

I loved the way he referred to me as his. I ran my hands along his defined chest. "My Edward." I whispered.

Intensity burned in his eyes as he kissed me once more. I felt like a real teenager for once. I was caught up in this amazing guy and surprisingly he returned my feelings. It was almost surreal. I loved how my body molded with his perfectly. I loved the feeling of his skin on mine. I loved everything about him, and now he had promised to be mine forever.

My eyes bore into his. "Edward?"

He lifted his head from where it had been lying on my stomach. "Yes love?"

I smiled when he called me love. "What happens if…" I bit my bottom lip.

He sat up taking my face in both of his hands. "What happens if what love?"

I shook my head and buried my face back in his chest. I didn't even want to think it. Thinks like that should never even be spoken into existence.

I shook my head. "Never mind."

He picked up my hand and slid the ring over my left hand finger. "You must tell me Bella. Technically you are my fiancé now." His smile was very smug.

I rolled my eyes. "So, you get me to say yes and now you're Mr. Ego?"

He grabbed my wrist pulling me up from the couch and sitting my on his lap. "I did just get the girl of my dreams to agree to being my for the rest of our natural lives." He smirked.

I was in awe. "Aw Edward, you dream about me?"

He tilted my face up so I was looking him full in his beautiful green eyes. "Every moment. Don't you of me?"

I blushed and bit my lip looking down. "Maybe." I whispered.

He chuckled. "Sorry, I didn't catch that."

I glared at him… or at least tried. I saw the crooked grin on his face and I had finally decided it was one of the eight wonders of the world. I stood up and gathered the pizza box and plates admiring the beautiful ring on my finger.

Edward followed behind me picking up the glasses. I attempted to swing my hips to make myself look seductive and it must have worked because I felt his arms around my waist. "Do you know what you do to me?" He purred into my ear.

Just the sound of his voice sent my heart accelerating. "No, tell me."

He kissed my ear and I felt him smile against it. "Well, when you walk into a room I just have to come to your side. When I saw you in the hallway at school I had the urge to make sure everyone knew you were mine."

I interrupted him to throw away the plates. "Quite possessive aren't we?"

He kissed the spot right below my ear and I fell into his embrace. "And when you ride in my truck with the window down and your hair flying behind you, I think of breaking down my truck just to have a reason to spend the whole day with you."

I giggled. "But you're a mechanic, you'd never get away with that."

He chuckled. "Oh, but I would."

I turned to face him locking my hands behind his head. "Oh really? How would you accomplish this task?"

He picked me up swinging my legs behind him and sat me on the counter. He inched his lips closer to mine. "Just." He got a little closer. "Like." His lips brushed against mine. "This." He whispered against my lips and his warm breath circulated in my mouth making me drool.

I pulled his face closer to mine and he licked my bottom lip so I parted them slightly. I loved Edward more than anything in the world. I knew that I would die for him, and if given the chance I would choose him over anything.

He pulled back as both of us needed air. I yawned and Edward chuckled. "Someone's tired."

I rolled my eyes. "I am not."

He smiled. "Oh really, I must be mistaken then. You see I had even gotten that nice little lady to watch Craig tomorrow so you wouldn't have to be all alone tonight. Too bad you're not tired though. I guess I'll just have to go home." He turned around and headed toward the door.

"No, Edward. Don't go." I pleaded hopping off the counter running toward him.

He turned around just in time to catch me when my socks slid on the hardwood floor. "Well, if you insist."

EPOV (the night before his birthday)

It scared the shiznits out of me to know that in two days I would be off to boot camp. I was absolutely terrified. I wished that my proposal to Bella calmed my nerves as well as it did Bella's.

I had my whole career mapped out. I was to go to boot camp and then I would be stationed in Port Angeles for my first month. They would then send me wherever for college. Boot camp was thirteen weeks long, thirteen long and Bella less weeks.

I fumbled around for my keys and succeeded in finding them. Bella was throwing a birthday party for me tomorrow so we were going to spend the night together tonight. As long as I live, I will never forget the look on Charlie's face when we told him Bella and I were getting married.

Flashback

The front door opened and the sound of rushed footsteps came from the front hallway. "Bells I'm home." Charlie called.

I sat next to Bella on the couch and held her hand as she hid her face in my chest. "We're in here Dad." She piped in.

He entered the living room and examined the picture in front of him. "What's going on Bells?"

She looked him full in the eyes. "Dad, can you sit down?"

He looked as if he were going to have a heart attack as he lowered himself into the chair. "What is this? Are you pregnant?"

She placed her hand over her mouth. "No Dad! I'm still a virgin." I liked that. My little innocent Bella. (Not that I wasn't.)

His face turned red with embarrassment at discussing his daughter's sex life. "So what's going on?"

She sighed. "Dad, Edward and I are getting married."

Pure shock crossed his face. "What? The heck you are! You're not even old enough to get married without parental consent."

I stifled a laugh. "Sir, I wish to marry Bella after she turns 18."

His expression softened. "You two are just so young."

I nodded. "I know that sir, but by the time she's old enough to be married I'll have a steady income and I'll be able to provide for her. I plan to pursue a career in the medical field. If all goes well Bella will have a great life ahead of her. I love your daughter more than anything in the world sir."

It seems like forever ago when we sat down and had that conversation with him. I still believe that I love Bella more than anything. Actually, I believe that's an understatement. Bella is the best thing that had ever happened to me. She was my life.

I pulled into Bella's driveway and she ran up to my truck before I had a chance to get out and walk her to the truck properly. She was wearing a black top the hugged her skin perfectly with a pair of white pants. The sapphire ring was firmly in place around her left hand ring finger. It was the only jewelry she wore aside from the heart necklace around her neck.

She hopped into the truck. "Sorry, before the date I need to run by school to pick up some transcripts."

I found it rather odd to pick up transcripts in the middle of the summer but I shrugged and leaned over to plant a kiss on her glossed lips. "Very well."

I threw the truck into reverse and headed toward my former school. About five minutes later we pulled up to the old school and he glanced around at the empty parking lot. "Is anyone here?" I asked her.

She shrugged. "Yes, Mrs. Cope said she'd be here."

I hopped out of the truck and walked around to help her out of the truck. She lightly jumped to her feet and I wrapped an arm around her waist as I guided her toward the office.

"Um, she's in the gym supervising light bulb replacement." Bella squeaked pulling me toward the gym.

I sighed. "You're a horrid liar."

She blushed. "Just go along with it."

We stepped into the lighted gym. "Happy Birthday Edward!" Voices rang throughout the gym.

I stepped back in shock and recognized faces over the gym. The chorus of happy birthday started and my mom stepped out of the crowd carrying a candle lit cake as the lights dimmed.

"Now blow out the candles." Mom whispered.

I did as I was told and blew out the candles making a wish. She carried the cake back to the table and started cutting it into pieces. Music started blaring through the speakers as I looked around at the gym and then back at Bella.

"Are you responsible for this?" I inquired raising an eyebrow.

She blushed and bit her lip. "Maybe."

I pulled her to me and placed a delicate kiss on her lips. "Thank you."

A/N: Aw, so Bella throws a bash for Edward. Isn't that sweet? I had planned for this chapter to be longer but I kind of got writers block at the beginning so I came back to it later. Anyway I hope you liked it!

Review!
