Chapter 4: Congratulations Are In Order

EPOV

Bella and I get to enjoy our little bubble for all of one minute before everyone converges on us. There's Emmett, who thumps me soundly on the back, pulling me in for a congratulatory bro hug. He quickly releases me to then sweep up my fiancé into a bear hug that lifts her feet a good five inches from the floor.

Immediately following is her Aunt Mae. She pulls Bella into a sweet maternal embrace, speaking quietly into her ear. I see both Bella and Mae swiping away tears from their cheeks while laughing. I'm so caught up in their moment that I'm caught off guard by Marcus speaking, I may flinch. Just a little.

"Ed," he says in his deep voice, gripping my shoulder tightly, "I know we already had this conversation before, but I'll reiterate now. You and I are cool as long as you always keep that girl this happy. If not, I'm awful handy with a machete." With another squeeze to my shoulder, he steps forward to congratulate Bella, wrapping her up in his arms, saying something that makes her laugh.

I'm never quite sure how to take Marcus sometimes. He just gave us his blessing and threatened my life in one breath. I'm still staring dumbfounded, processing everything, when a tap on my shoulder has me whipping around.

There's a petite blonde girl standing with a receipt in hand, and a crazed look in her eyes. Before she says a word, I know that she's a fan. Tattooed in the crease of her elbow are the lyrics from one of my songs. It always freaks me out, seeing my words on someone's body.

For a few seconds, she stares at me and then the receipt in her hand is thrust in my direction. "Ohmahgod!", she squeals under her breath. "I knew it was you! Wait till I tell Brittney that I saw Eddie Masen propose!" She does a little jump on her toes, but I'm still shocked that Bella said yes. My fake smile morphs into the genuine thing. "Can you sign this for me, please? I swear I'm like your biggest fan! It would make my life if I could take a selfie with you."

Now, normally I don't sign autographs unless it's before a concert, but I'm today I'm feeling particularly magnanimous. So I say yes. I start to search my pocket for my Sharpie pen that goes everywhere with me, but I come up empty. Suddenly a Sharpie is pressed into my hand, and a kiss is pressed to my cheek. A warm arm squeezes my waist, and then that hand travels into my back pocket to squeeze my ass.

I smile so hard that my cheeks feel like they might cramp, because my girl, my fiancee, is back with me.
