BPOV

It's been close to a year, since Edward and I have been happily dating and living together, sure we have our fights but we always find our way back to each other.

It's also been close to a year since I have achieved my goal weight, although I continue to go to the gym. Almost three months after that Kate declared that I no longer need therapy, but she was always there if I ever needed her again. She was definitely needed since she became more than my therapist, she became my friend.

Life has never been better. Rose and Em had gotten married two months back and it was beautiful. Alice and Jasper will be welcoming a baby soon as well.

Edward's plan of expanding to other cities within the country has already begun, especially after the success of the previous ad campaign and new gym. I on the other hand, have been appointed to takeover from Mr. Volturi, it was his idea since he wanted to retire, and was just trying to figure out who to leave his company to since he had no kids. Apparently I was the perfect choice and the most capable person, which was almost like a dream come true. I literally had to pay a very minimal amount to buy the company, because Mr. Volturi insisted.

Our parents too were thrilled with us, and were close friends with each other. We all got really lucky.

All in all life is great, although things were slightly hectic.

To remedy that my dear boyfriend, has set up a date tonight, so it can be just the two of us. Edward would pick me up and we would go straight to the restaurant since he was arriving late.

I wore a black form-fitting dress with thin straps that reached mid-thigh and and had a small slit on the right leg. I also wore our favorite black heels... I said our because Edward loves that pair ever since I "surprised" him. His response to me wearing these heels are hilarious and always ends up with us having amazing sex. I shook my head to get my mind out the gutter, and wore my hair in a high ponytail. I applied some red lipstick and just finished spritzing my perfume, when the bell rang.

I quickly grabbed a coat and my purse and opened the door.

"Isabella... why do you do this to me." Edward whined like a kid. I couldn't help but laugh and blush.

"Oh come on... you are one to talk." He always looked sexy after work, with his sleeves rolled up showing off his toned arms, with him holding his coat over his shoulder and his slim fit formal pants... This man is seriously something out of a romance novel... sigh...

"Honestly, Bella that dress... and those shoes..."

"C'mon babe, you said we have a reservation... we can continue this later." I said with a smirk.

"Fine... as you wish my love." He had the ability to turn me on and then turn me to mush in a matter of few seconds.

We finally reached the restaurant and were sat at our table, we placed our orders and began to laugh, flirt and joke. The atmosphere was utterly romantic and the lighting was dim... it was like the restaurant was forcing me to focus on my man... not that that would ever be an issue...

As the end of the night and our date was approaching Edward seemed nervous and apprehensive, I was worried, so I finally asked - "Edward is everything alright... if you are feeling-"

"No Bella... I'm not... oh fuck.." he murmured the last part.

"Edward is something wrong?" I asked, a little bit alarmed, as he looked pale.

"No Bella... nothing is wrong... actually everything is right. I love you so much. I'm just nervous." He was almost stammering. Edward is never like this...

"Edwar-" before I could ask him what's wrong, I realized that he was on his knee holding a velvet box with a ring in it -

"Isabella... you are the most amazing thing that has happened to me. You may not believe in fate, but all it took was one little sign, and our hearts belonged to each other. I love you so much and I will cherish and love you for the rest of my life if you allow me too... so Isabella Swan will you marry me and allow me to love you for the rest of my life?" He finished his speech. Tears were streaming down my face and all I could do was nod.

"Is that a yes? I need to know for sure-" he asked nervously.

"Yes, yes, yes, a million times yes, my sweet silly man. I love you." With that I broke out of my stupor and leapt out of my chair and onto Edward... he was on the floor and I was essentially straddling him while kissing him till he realized that I am never letting him go.

"Let's go home and celebrate" I whispered against his lips. Edward's expression told me that he was ready to get out of here as well.

That's when we heard catcalls and whistles, and I realized that the people in the restaurant were none other than our family and friends... and we were both blushing. Although Edward was wearing his signature smirk. I laughed... and everyone came to congratulate us.

Apparently Edward had been planning this for two weeks now, and everyone already knew. That sneaky, amazing man.

It was beautiful and everything seemed even more perfect. I couldn't be any more happier if I tried... I thought my journey would end with me being confident and taking control of my life, but in reality my real journey began the day I met Edward and realized that not only can I be confident and ambitious but having someone to support you through your ups and downs while also supporting them, builds love and creates happiness, and for that I am forever grateful.
