Chapter 77

Bella lightly slapped his arm, but was extra careful to not use any force so she wouldn't hurt herself. "Don't look at me like that," she admonished him. "A proper girl saves herself until marriage." She couldn't let the opportunity pass when he gave her that opening to tease him.

"You're right," he said. "Forgive me for my vulgar behavior." He grimaced as if he was embarrassed, but his light, butterscotch eyes held on to his amusement, and he leaned forward until he could whisper in her ear. "But I do hope you'll keep that corset for me to enjoy at a later date."

"That could definitely be arranged," she replied, but then walked several steps away from him. "So... Mr. Masen"—she giggled at his expression toward hearing his human name fall from her lips—"tell me. How would you court a girl in your time?"

"Do you mean how I would have courted you?"

"What's the difference?" she asked, and he grinned.

"Oh, there's a huge difference."

"Really? Then tell me. Because I doubt ignoring me publicly while also stalking me would have worked to your favor back then."

Edward groaned, horrified at her intentionally badly explained summary of the start of their love story. "You make me sound so bad."

Bella walked up to him again, took his hand in hers and lightly placed it against her cheek, loving the cool touch. "It was bad," she agreed. "And had it been anyone else but you, I would have high-tailed out of Forks first chance I got."

"Just goes to show how poor your self-preservation is," he said and lovingly traced the apple of her cheek with his thumb.

"Maybe, but I think we're both happy about that today, right?" He smiled and nodded along with her. "Now you have to tell me why courting me would have been different from any other girl."

He allowed his hand to fall away from her face, down her arm until he could hold her hand, and he brought it up to his mouth so he could kiss the back of it through her glove. "Because the instant I realized you're my future, I would have worked fast to secure you as mine."

Suddenly, there was something small in her hand, the one Edward was holding, and when she took it back to see what it was, her heart skipped a beat at the sight of the platinum ring delicately resting in her palm.


A/N:

Classic Edward! xD But wait, remember, this isn't the kind of story where they make deals and arrangements and compromises! Bella still isn't the biggest fan of weddings and proposals even if she'd accepted it's something Edward wants ;-)

See you tomorrow, lovlies!

Stay Awesome!
