Last part of chapter 4
"Edward!" I jumped into his arms and he stood up and spun me in the air. My hair was glowing red in the setting sun. "And I thought today was your birthday!"
"It is but I can't imagine spending another one without you, so does that mean you say…yes?"
"Yes Edward! Yes I will marry you! Isabella Cullen. It was a beautiful ring to it!"
"Yes it does."

I walked on the shimmering beach next to my new husband-to-be. I could finally say that now! Edward and I would be getting married, and I couldn't believe it.
"Edward I love you." He put his long hard arm around my waist and brought me close to him, I was so close that I could feel his chest shrink and get large as he took in long and deep breaths.
"And I love you Bella, hey I have an idea." He let go of my waist and grabbed my hand and started running human speed with me to where it seemed like no where. When the wind picked up his hair and carried it he ran I felt like I was running away with a fashion model that was on the run.
"Where are you taking me?" He ignored my question and started to stop running when he got to a palm tree. "Edward, what in the world are you thinking? I wasn't going to play any games with death now that I had Edward forever, and why would he want me to climb a tree anyway? He knew that I wasn't a monkey and enjoyed climbing trees just for fun! No thank you.
"Something…" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black object. It looked like a …. A pocket knife!
"Edward?" What was he thinking? Sometimes I wished I had the wonderful gift that he had and could see what was going on in his crazy head.
"Bella I want the whole world to know that I love you, I want everyone to see that I am in love with the most beautiful and most wonderful women on this earth." That was really sweet and cute of him to say but what was he going to do!
"Ok, but how's a knife going to help with that? Edward tell me! I hate feeling nervous!" I looked at his perfect face.
"Why are you nervous? There's nothing to be worried about Bella." He touched my shoulder showing me that I didn't need to be frightened but it didn't really help.
"Yeah nothing to be worried about, that's why you have a knife in your hand! How do you expect me of all people not to have butterflies in my stomach and run away?"
"I guess you have a point but how could you run away from me when I have a pocket knife in my hand, which you still don't know what I am going to do with it but you are super women and don't move a flinch when I tell you that I am a blood sucking monster! You make no sense to me." Then Edward opened the pocked knife and started carving on the tall and happy palm tree.
"Edward what are you doing?" I looked at him long and hard waiting for his answer.
"I told you, I want everyone to see that I am in love with you." I closed my mouth thinking how sweet could this guy get! As I watched the tree the words Edward began to write in the tree and they became clear.
It said:
I, Edward C. love the most wonderful and amazing girl in this town, this state, this country and in this world, Isabella S and no one in this time or any time could or will be able to love her as much as I love her. She is my twinkling star in the daylight that only I can see.
As I waited for him to finish I stood in shock. It didn't matter what he would say or whatever came flowing from his mouth, it always made me forget to breathe. I watched his hand move across the tree as if the only purpose of his hands were to write their message onto this tree. His hands wrote the words so smoothly and so perfect that it was hard to believe that the tree once had no words on it.
"Edward! Why do you have to be so…so, perfect! I love it!" Another thing that he can add onto his list of perfection I thought.
"You write something." He handed me the knife and I felt my hands go numb. How could I ever write something to compare to his master piece?
"Edward, I can't. It won't be anywhere as wonderful as yours. It will sound really dumb!" I tried handing him back the knife but he refused.
"Bella nothing that you could ever write would be on the lines of dumb. Don't laugh I mean it." What was he talking about? I had always been a bad writer and if I were to write a single word of that tree it would catch fire and burn in flames, which made me laugh that whatever I could say wouldn't be dumb.
"Really it will sound stupid, here."
"Humor me Bella, please." I took the small knife in my hand and walked up to the tree.
As I tried to write on the tree no words would come to mind. I knew that I loved Edward with all of my heart and that without him my life would be ruined forever, but how would I get my hand to comprehend that? I concentrated on what I wanted to write and not that I couldn't write something as great as he did.
These are the words that came to me about how I felt about Edward:
I, Isabella S. love Edward C. I started living when I first meet him and I would still be dead if we never meet. I love him so much that words could not even begin to explain my love for him. I have never and could never look another man and feel anything for that person compared to him. He is the only person that I want to be with forever and I want to be with him for forever, until we both shall die. Edward isn't just someone that I love he is the person I live for.
It took me awhile to write all of that but it didn't seem to matter to Edward.
He stared at the words that I had just written on the tree. He face held happiness and…. And it held something I had never seen someone feel for me, love.
"Give me back the knife, that's not fair! What you wrote Bella makes what I did look as if it was a grain of rice and you're the bird ready to eat me!"
"But Edward isn't it bad for birds to eat rice? Wait…you think that what I wrote was, better than yours?"
"Bella it was so much better than mine! And I was serious, let me have the knife." I moved away from Edward's grabby hands and held the knife as if it were a baby in my arms.
"Wait, just wait a second. I did something better than you! Yes! I found something that I did better at than you. Yes it's not running or cooking but I wrote my about my love for you better than you did. This is great." I jumped up and down forgetting that I still had a knife in my hand.
"Bella do not jump! You'll hurt yourself!" He ran to me and grabbed the knife." I could very easily take this knife and write all over that stupid tree how much I love you and how much you mean to me , but since you are happy and you finally found something you could do better at me, I guess I won't." Edward folded his arms around his chest like a small eight years old not getting his way.
I smiled and walked back over to my wonderful boyfriend, NO! Fiancé

I felt very proud of myself as he grabbed my small hand and held it while we back to the house. I finally found something that I could do better than him. I had dreamt of this day for weeks.
As we walked back we found a few unbroken sand dollars and some sea shells. But that was it. Then it came to me that I could put something even better to put on the memory shelves than anyone could, I would take a picture of the engagement ring in the sand as Edward gave it to me and put the picture on the shelf. It would look beautiful up there against all of the sandy and smelly shells.
"Edward can you run to the house and get me a camera real quick please?" It seemed as he didn't even move an inch as he handed me the camera right after I asked.
"Why do you need a camera?" I bent over and took of my ring and placed it in the sand and took a few pictures of it.
"I'm going to put a picture of my ring on that shelf at the house. It's been my best memory since I've been here and it will look beautiful up there." When I was done talking Edward bent over and kissed my neck and helped me stand up and then we continued walking in each other's arms.

When I could see the house I ran to it like I had never ran before. I was starving and I wanted something to eat very badly. I hadn't eaten in hours and my stomach was yelling at me for being irresponsible and not feeding it. So Edward hear d it and kind of helped me out with the whole running thing so I wouldn't trip and fall and have a face full of sand for lunch.
"What would you like to eat?" Edward looked through the empty cabinets and found nothing in any of them "Well never mind about me making you something, why don't we go out to eat?"
"OK, but where?" I had no idea where any food places or anything was around here.
"I'll find something. Come on, let's get in the car." I put on my shoes and some new socks and walked with him outside to the car we rented.

Edward drove around the nearest town for only about five minutes until he found a decent restaurant.
"Is this ok?"
"Anything is alright right now, I'm really hungry." I jumped out of the car and rushed to the doors. When Edward opened then for me I stood and stared.
Inside on one but us and the waitresses and waiters were in there. In the middle of the room was a single table with a single red rose in the middle. On the ceiling was a large banner that read, I love you Bella Cullen.
"Edward, did you do all of this?" I looked at him with tears building up behind my week eyes; they never seemed to hold back the tears for me.
"Yes, but with a little help from all of the people here. Come on, let's sit and feed you. I don't want you to wait any longer" As Edward pulled out my chair I sat down and placed a napkin on my lap.
Another surprise, why didn't I see it coming? I didn't like surprises since it always let the person that was getting the surprise look empty handed and I was always the one with the empty hands. Don't get me wrong I always love Edward's surprises but it made me feel bad that I wasn't getting things for him and setting up special events for him. Surprises from Edward seemed to be apart of my life now with him and since he loved surprising me I didn't say anything else but 'thank you' and 'I love it so much!'
I told the waiter what I wanted and Edward told the bulky man that he already ate before he came and that everything was about me today.
As I sat in silence and Edward stared at me for a few minutes my mind would wonder back to earlier this afternoon. I was going to marry….M-A-R-R-Y! Edward! The thought made me smile and Edward saw the grin as well.
"What are you thinking about?" Edward never took his eyes away from my face as the waiter came back with my coke.
"What?"
"What were you thinking about just a few seconds ago?"
"Oh, how you asked me to marry you and that I was going to be your wife." He just smiled as I took a sip of my coke. "I was thinking about how unreal it feels for me to say that I am actually engaged."
"Bella…" Edward took my hand in his and crisscrossed our fingers together. "I wouldn't want to marry any other person but you."
"I know, thank you."
"Thank you for what Bella?" I took another quick ship of my soda.
"Thank you for loving me and for everything. Everything that you have ever done and said to me, thank you for being…you. I wouldn't want to ever lay eyes on another person than you." Edward looked down from my eyes.
"What's wrong? Did I saw something?" I felt worried that I might have said too much.
"Bella don't be worried it's just, I….no on has ever felt that way about me before and it just caught me a little off guard. You have to understand that before you came, before you were born, I thought I would never be as happy as I am right now….with you." I looked into his yellow eyes, wait yellow.
"Edward, when are you going to…eat?" I hadn't thought about it, when and where was Edward going to feed?
"I'll go tonight when Alice calls you; she'll talk to you for hours so I won't miss anything."
"Alice is calling tonight?" I was suddenly very excited to talk to Alice; I had to tell her all about our trip and Edward asking me to marry him. I also would have to ask her a few questions about something.
"Yes, she told me she would be calling when we got here and settled into the house. She also wants to talk to you about your wedding dress." Edward smiled and turned his head to see where our waiter had run off to.
"Alice knew that you were going to ask me to marry you?" He turned back around to look at me.
"Yes she did and she did a wonderful job of not telling you, I thought she wouldn't be able to make it but I needed to know if you would say yes or not."
"So that's why she wouldn't talk to me about the trip!" Just then Edward found our waiter.
"Excuse me sir! Hi, is her food almost ready? She hasn't eaten in awhile and she is hungry." He had the man bend over and he whispered into his ear "I can even hear her stomach growling."
"I'll go check again for you sir, and sorry about the wait. We have a new cook." The waiter walked away.
"I knew I was forgetting something to tell him! Sorry that it's taking so long for them to make you your food sweetie." I loved it when he called me sweetie; it brought a cool tingle down my spine.
"It's ok, and is my stomach really that loud?" Before he had to answer the waiter can back with my cheeseburger and fries.
