Author's Note: Okay, first of all. You all must be wondering if I died or something because I haven't updated in like three days and I usually do everyday. No, I'm not dead. I was merely living in my own world for the past several days. I was watching a really good Vietnamese movie that took eleven hours so yeah it occupied a lot of time. Anyway, I'm back now.
Disclaimer: My name is Niecie not Stephenie so I don't own Twilight.
I went home hoping to occupy my time with something while I was away from Bella. Jasper and Emmett was sitting in the living room hunched over something.
I wonder if she'll like this one, I don't think I can beat the last one.
This one is perfect for Alice. Too bad she always sees what's coming.
"What are you two doing?" I asked. Emmett jumped up and placed his hand over my mouth. I struggled free and straightened myself.
"Quiet! Rosalie will hear you," he exclaimed. Jasper and I are planning our proposals to our wives tomorrow.
Alice probably already knows but at least Rosalie doesn't.
He continued about their rings but I didn't really listen. My mind was already beginning to plan something big and memorable for Bella and I.
"I need you two to do something for me," I began. They looked at me curiously taken aback by my tone. "I need you to get me a ring. Not just any ring but a simple, elegant, breath-taking one that must have a violet gem. And also it must be platinum silver. At all cost, get the words 'I LOVE YOU UNTIL FOREVER' engraved inside the band." Their mouth dropped open in disbelief because I had a very specific ring in mind and the fact that I wanted to get a ring too. "Just go, I will write our proposals if you don't mind. I actually have a very specific reaction I'm going for." They nodded dumbfounded but turned to leave.
You are going to propose to Bella!
I turned to see a very excited Alice. I smiled and nodded. If only I could calm my own nerves about it and stop worrying that she may say no.
The same time as Emmett and Jasper!
I nodded again. She jumped up and down and even screamed but then placed her hand over her mouth because Rosalie was coming downstairs.
"Alice, why are you so excited?" She asked suspiciously. Alice thought for a brief moment and drew up a lie.
"Because Edward and Bella are back together," she said innocently. Rosalie seemed satisfied and went back upstairs to clean her closet.
Alice sighed when Rosalie was out of sight and continued to grin like a mad woman. I went into the kitchen to find a pen and a piece of paper to write the proposal really quick before going to find Bella.
When I was finished, I folded it and came into the living room to find Alice. She was watching Ella Enchanted and didn't look up as I came in. I cleared my throat to get her attention. She looked up and placed the movie on pause.
"Give this to Emmett or Jasper when they come back." I handed her the paper.
Can I read it?
"If you want to ruin the surprise," I said amused. She pouted but placed the paper on the table and turned back to the movie. I shook my head amused and turned on my heel to leave.
I ran back to Bella's house missing her to death already. I was sure she had enough time to talk to Henry by now. I reached her house and saw that her bedroom window had no light shining through it but the living room's did. I crept over to peer through it hoping to catch sight of her. And I did.
I saw she was sitting next to Henry and then he leaned in quickly planting his lips on hers. It knocked her backwards and he laid on top of my Bella their lips still locked.
My veins began to fill with rage and I tore through the glass and let out a gruesome growl at the creature that dared to touch Bella. I launched myself at him and knocked him into the air and over the couch landing on the tiled floor. I threw punch after punch at him wishing I could tear him limb from limb so that he would pay for what he did. He defended himself and caught most of my punches but the others hit their mark and made loud cracking noise. I felt Bella tugging at me and attempting to pull me away from him but I refused and continued to take my anger out on Henry.
"Edward, get off him!" She screamed desperately. I ignored her and proceeded in my beating. "Edward, would you listen to me!" She tried again but I blocked her out trying not to look her in the face. I was afraid that if I did the jealousy would consume me and I would hurt her too. "Edward Cullen, if you don't stop this instant consider us through!" What did she just say? My mind struggled to process her words and when I finally understood it, I froze instantly. I got off Henry and ran over to Bella as quickly as I could.
She looked at me and then grabbed me by the back of my head and pulled me to her. She gave me an intense and deep kiss before swiftly pulling away. At that moment, all sensibility returned and I suddenly was able to think clearly again. I wanted to pull her back in for a longer kiss but her eyes told me not to.
"Are you okay now?" She asked concerned. I nodded slightly still a bit confused of how everything suddenly turned right side up again.
She looked relieved and turned to Henry, who was now getting up from the floor and brushing the dust off his clothes with an annoyed expression.
"Henry, are you okay?" She lifted her foot wanting to walk over to him but I grabbed her waist and made her stay planted to the spot she stood.
"Yeah, I'm fine. What the heck was that for?" He shot at me. I growled warning him to stay where he was but received an angry look from Bella so I stopped. Why was she angry at me? I should be the one angry!
"Can you explain what I just saw?" She was a bit hesitant with her answer and I wondered if she was going to lie.
"What you saw was nothing. Simply a misunderstanding," she answered calmly.
She didn't look like she was lying.
"What was he doing on top of you?" That was the one I wanted to know the most and why they were kissing. What explanation could she have for that?
"I asked her for one last kiss but I leaned in too suddenly and she fell back. I ended up on top of her, it was an accident," Henry explained. I found that extremely unbelievable and I didn't hide it. Even if it was the truth, he had no right to kiss her.
"That's the truth, Edward," Bella added. I looked down at her to meet very sincere eyes and it was enough for me to believe every word coming out of her mouth even if they may make absolutely no sense. "I think you owe Henry an apology." I grimaced but she stood her ground so I was forced to turn back to Henry.
"Sorry," I muttered almost inaudible. Henry nodded and walked upstairs muttering profanities under his breath.
I've had the worst luck today. Getting dumped and attacked by the boyfriend for no reason in the same day.
Bella somehow snaked out of my grip and strode into the kitchen only to come back with a broom in her hands. She handed it to me and I took it not knowing what she wanted me to do.
"Since you made this mess, you get to clean it up. You are also responsible for replacing my window as soon as possible." I stared at her speechless. She was asking...ordering me to clean! I haven't cleaned up in...a while. "Once you are done, I will be upstairs," she continued ignoring my expression. She stood there with her hands on her hips until I began to sweep up the glass before going up to her room.
Since when did I obey everything she said? Since you found that you can't live without her. Oh, that's when. I swept up quickly and dumped it into the trash (even the broom) and walk upstairs to her room.
Bella laid on her king-sized bed with her eyelids closed and her breathing even as if she was sleeping. I softly laid down next to her facing her angel-like features. Her lids fluttered open and caught me in her gaze.
"Either you're really reckless or you really don't trust me," she accused.
"How about I really love you so I'm really jealous?" I confessed and was rewarded with a laugh. I reached out and intertwined my arms around her waist pulling her closer to me.
"Either way, don't go attacking people without knowing what's going on," she continued like a lecturing mother.
"If you promise not to go around giving people a kiss when they ask for it," I shot back with a chuckle. She elbowed me in the ribs and I pretended to be in tremendous pain.
"How long until I get my windows fixed?"
"I will get on it first thing in the morning," I promised. "So, can I get a kiss for being so diligent?"
"Sorry. I promised my destructive, overbearing, and insane boyfriend that I wouldn't go around giving people kisses when they ask," she replied with sarcasm dripping in every word. Wait, did she just call me insane?
"I'm not insane," I stated simply.
"But you are destructive and overbearing." I wanted to protest but then considered the fact that I've broken my share of furniture and windows and not to mention wanting to rip every guy that looks at Bella the wrong way. I nodded agreeing with her statement and she broke out in laughter. I stared blankly for a minute before shrugging and joined in.
"So, what if I don't ask, does it count then?" I asked unable to let my request go.
"Um, I guess not but-" That was all I needed to hear. I smacked her lips with mine and let my passion go wild. She responded to me after she was able to collect her thoughts again and we were attached for quite a bit of time. But all too soon, she pulled away with an amused expression. "Edward Cullen, do you know where you hand is headed?" She said indignantly.
I refocused and realized that one of my hands were on her waist, the other had already crept under her shirt and was at the middle of back about a millimeter from her bra strap. I pulled it out and placed it back on her waist, feeling embarrassed for my behavior. I tugged on her shirt to make sure if was back into place. She let a musical laugh escape and turned around to face her back to me. She snuggled into my chest and I felt strangely warm and fuzzy inside. We didn't move an inch after that. I was fully content with just being in her presence and she seemed content with laying in my arms all night.
Author's Note: Review and try to get the image of Edward in an apron out of you minds so you won't laugh to death. I know I am. Did I mention how much I love my reviewers because I do!
