A/N: Hello once again, dear readers. PLEASE READ.. I just wanted to clarify once again that this story is HEA. I don't want to give too much away and ruin the suspense. I had received a PM regarding this; so I just wanted to ask you all to be patient and trust me. I love my lead characters too much. Also we are very close to the prologue now. Oh, and please mind the dates.

Thanks to EdwardsFirstKiss once again for editing this and for all her suggestions. I feel really grateful. This revolving around flashbacks and present is a bit cumbersome but I hope you are not having problems keeping up with it. Do tell.

All mistakes and this plot is mine while our lovely characters are all from SM.

CHAPTER 6

BELLA

October 23, 2014

"Edward! Just gimme the damn papers idiot,"I growled at my ass of a boyfriend.

"Not until you forgive me," he huffed, breathless from running around our apartment.

"You know you are just adding on to the pile of your mistakes and making me angrier," I said reaching for the papers on the project I am currently working on, from his hands across the sofa. His face paled as he handed me the papers back.

"Love, please I am so sorry. I swear it will not happen again." I just give him my not-to-mess-with-me look and started walking towards our home office. Though inside, I melt just a little seeing his cuteness. I was surprised when he didn't follow me but closed the door, anyway. We had been dating for almost two years and life had been nothing short of blissful. He was everything I wanted and something I didn't even know I wanted in my better half. I had moved into his apartment six months after we started dating. I still remembered his words that day.

"I fucking love you with all of my heart Isabella Swanand know there is no oneelse for me. I promise to be withyou forever until our last breathand I want to be in every fucking chapterof your life. So I think it would be best to start our new chapter bymoving in together as my bedmisses you every night and my apartment seems empty as hell without you in it."

His cheesiness along with some slight swearing was cute and sweet enough for me to accept his proposal. God knows he can't seem to get through an entire speech without cussing in between. But currently I am over the top angry with him. However, that didn't change the fact about how much I love him. We started officially dating a week after that day in his car when he had dropped me at my apartment. It was after I had explained to him my dreams in which I was holding a 'WHORE' sign, which he had brushed out of my mind by kissing me into oblivion. We were unable to deny the pull towards each other. He had been patient with me but equally flirting that week until I finally gave in and shared my concerns with him. My friends were happy for me but Rosalie was just over the moon and it wasn't only because of me and my Edward. When we were working for a project at 'Samantha's Place', Edward had introduced me to the firm's construction crew. The head of the crew was Edward's best friend, Emmett McCarty. He was such a sweet guy and had adorable dimples in which Rose fell in love with at our get together, one night at 'Demoz'. The rest is history. Life is just perfect for all of us. Ali and Jazz were married yesterday and now on their way to Paris for their honeymoon.

The wedding was where my argument began with the man outside my study. He had playfully smashed my face with cake during dinner yesterday (which was not so playful, if you ask me). Also if that wasn't enough, I had found him talking to a group a girls when I exited the restroom after washing my face; clearly flirting with my man. I know it's not his fault for being illegally handsome but my temper flared as I saw one of them touching his forearm, my forearm, and laughing. Maybe it was the drinks I had consumed or being frustrated over Edward smashing cake in my face, but I made my way over to the bloody arm-grabber blonde bitch, determined. I dragged her away from him by her hair, calling her every nasty name I had learned from Edward. When she protested, I may or may not have thrown punches which earned me a whistling cheer from Rose and a howl from Em. I don't know how but Edward managed to separate us. And if that still wasn't enough, he just yelled at me for my actions and turned to ask the bitch if she was okay. I was so mad that I walked straight to Ali and after apologizing for my actions (which she dismissed saying she would have done the same thing), I hugged her and Jazz, wished them the best and walked to the car. Edward was standing beside it looking murderous but so edible. 'What? You doofus, you forgot you were angry with him', Inner me had scolded. 'Oh, fuck off. I can think whatever I want. It's not like I am telling that to him', I had countered as Inner just rolled her eyes.

I had glared at the Adonis in front of me, getting into the passenger seat, which wiped the anger from his face.

"Look Bella, I know I shouldn't have smashed the cake in your face and for that I apologize, but that didn't justify your action towards Jane," he had said starting the car, dragging a hand nervously through his hair.

"Oh, so the bitch has a name. I am sorry, Mr. Cullen if I hurt your precious Jane," I muttered sarcastically.

"Bella you know that's not why I am mad. She could have pressed charges. And you could have hurt yourself badly."

"Oh so now Mr. Cullen cares about me? How lucky of me." I knew I was being bitchy but I blamed the drinks. He rightly chose not to say anything after that and we drove quietly away.

A quiet knock on my door brought me out my musings. I had been working for an hour. Maybe I should forgive him, not that it's his fault. I stood up and walked to open the door seeing a small purple teddy bear with a note tucked on it. I picked it up and touched its soft ears. I pulled out note which asked me to come outside the apartment. I looked at it suspiciously but walked to the apartment door anyway ruffling the teddy's soft fur on the way. A bunch of beautiful white roses greeted me as I opened the door. I picked them up with a smile on my face already forgiving my man. Another note was tucked into them. It said to come to the park downstairs. I huffed out a laugh thinking about all the trouble he had gone through. My sweet man. I went downstairs and was shocked to see that the pavement that led from the apartment to the park was covered in beautiful red roses lined by calla lilies on either side. My heart melted as I walked over them and saw him standing at the entrance of the park. I ran to him and threw myself in his arms, apologizing for being rude as tears threatened to drop from my eyes. He just hushed me and apologized himself, which I quickly accepted. We broke apart with smiles on our faces but as I started pulling him back to the apartment, he told me to wait. He raked his hand through his hair, a gesture which indicated he was nervous. I looked at him questioningly as he took a deep breath and pointed towards the evening sky. I looked up but found nothing. I was about to turn and ask him what's the matter when fireworks filled the sky. I had this huge smile on my face and my heart was just about burst with happiness and love when a booming sound startled me. I looked dumbfounded as the jet started forming smoke clouds in the air and after a few seconds letters started to appear.

MARRY ME

I looked where Edward was standing and I swear my jaw hit the ground when I saw him on one knee with a velvet box in his hand.

"I have waited what seems like forever for a sunshine like you to walk into my world. I didn't even know someone as perfect and beautiful existed until I saw you standing in my office that fateful day. I had prepared a whole speech and wanted to propose to you yesterday after Ali and Jazz left for their honeymoon. But that didn't turn out quite right." He chuckled, but I was too flabbergasted to say or express anything. "You my love looked so beautiful and gorgeous that all others paled in comparison. When I saw Ali walked towards Jazz wearing her white bridal dress, I wanted nothing more but to take off with you, find a priest and tie ourselves together in every way. It was not helping either that the ring was burning a hole in my pocket. I know there will never be another for me and if you accept my proposal today that means there will be no other for you too. I love you so much Isabella Swan that my heart hurts. I promise there will never be a single day you will have to be deprived of my love. I promise to be there for you whether you are happy, sad, angry or coming to the point of murdering me in a fit of madness. Will you put me out of my misery and do me the honor of marrying me?" I was a sobbing mess as I threw myself in his arms and kissed him all over his face, saying 'yes' and 'I love you too' over and over. He blushed when he slid the ring on my finger. It has an oval cut diamond embedded with small diamonds around it in a silver band. I lifted my hand to examine the ring as it shone during the beautiful sunset.

"Did you notice that you didn't use one single curse word in your speech?" He just chuckled, shaking his head. "Well that's progress for our CEO," I elbowed him playfully.

"Can you promise me something?" He asked as we walked hand in hand towards our apartment.

"Anything," I smiled at him.

"Promise me you will never part with your ring, ever. No matter what happens," he asked kissing my ring finger.

"I promise," I said standing on my tiptoes to capture his lips. Silly man. Like I could ever part from something that belonged to him.

December 22, 2016

It was about two in the morning when we finally decided to call it a night. Rose and Em took the guestroom while Jazz crashed on the couch in the living room. Ali decided to sleep with me in my room to offer some comfort. Everybody was asleep when I finally gave up my conquest to be conquered by sleep and stepped out of the bedroom. I checked the clock, and it was half past three in the morning.

I walked stealthily into my study and opened the one door I hadn't opened in almost eighteen months. I shut the door behind me and looked around the space. There was ample dust due to the lack of care-taking. It was a spare room or you can call it a secret room as only I know about it. A green couch lay in front of a round table and the shelves beside the couch were lined with several photo albums. I lied to my friends when I said that the ring was the only thing I had kept of him. These albums cover, the memories that we had lived together that I cannot bring myself to part with. Therefore as soon as I moved into this apartment two months after he had left, I had put all of them in here. I had spent most of my time in those following four months in this very room but had finally decided to put a stop to it and started to immerse myself in work.

I opened one of my favorite albums which held pictures of our trip to Paris. We had gone to take care of a project, two months prior to our engagement. We looked blissful and so much in love. He had this goofy grin on his face when he wiped the ice cream from his finger to my nose. He had a habit of smashing sticky food on my face. He had said that I 'looked cute'. I smiled at that thought. In the picture, I was scowling but inside my heart was soaring with love for him. We enjoyed Paris so much that we had recommended it to Ali and Jazz for their honeymoon. That was the last trip we went on together. I still remember his words when he promised me that we would come back to Paris someday when we were old and grey. I sat on the couch with the album in my hands recalling all our happy memories along with his broken promises as sleep finally engulfed me in its peaceful arms.

"If you agree to be mine, then believe me m'lady I promise, you can never ever get rid of me, until you order me away."

"I promise to give you every damn happiness in this world my Bella."

"That girl meant nothing sweetheart. I am forever yours, I promise."

"I don't know how to say this but Isabella Swan... I... I have fallen in love with you. Shit. Damn. Hell. Fuck... I am an idiot. I planned to say that more creatively... Oh, Fuck that. I love you so much Bella. I promise that my love for you will never recede but will only grow in the years to come."

"Bella, I swear if another fucking tear falls from your god damn eyes, then so help me I am going to knock the shit out of that asshole bastard who is responsible for this. You are my girl, my woman and no one messes with what's mine."

"I promise to be with you forever until our last breath and I want to be in every chapter of your life. So, I think it would be best to start our new chapter by moving in together."

"You liked it here in Paris? Then my love, I promise we will come back whenever you want. Hell! I will buy us a place here. And maybe this will be where we will have our home with a white picket fence; we'll be old and grey with you sitting in a chair struggling to eat with your false teeth while I will be looking as hot and sexy as ever."

"I promise there will never be a fucking single day in which you are deprived of my love."

"I promise to be there for you whether you are happy, sad, angry or coming to the point of murdering me in a fit of madness."

"I promise to be there forever..."

"I promise to love you forever..."

"We will always be together, baby. You have nothing to worry..."

"I will always be there for you whenever you need me....Forever Yours..."

So it's my birthday today and that was my treat for you all (It's Jun 12 where I am). I am officially 19 and this will be the last of my teenage years. Yeahhh! :)

What do you say? Did you like Edward's proposal? Was it too cheesy? God, I am a hopeless romantic. And as you probably have noticed by now, I have changed the rating to M. For language? Maybe lemons? Who knows... Don't worry, we will be getting over the angst soon.

I hadn't cursed in my life but as you can see my Edward is quite good at that. Maybe I should learn from him. Anyone else wanna join me in 'Edward Cullen's Swearing School'? LOL. Share your views readers. As much as I love to babble, I have been told that I am a good listener :)
