Ch. 5 Memories
EPOV
She was going to marry me! This was the happiest day of my life. When we got back, we planed it all out. If I let Bella have her way, we would be married tomorrow. I was going to change her during Christmas break, so she could adjust to being a vampire. We would have Carslie convince Charlie, to let Bella spend her six weeks with us. By then, she would be used to the smell of blood; so it wouldn't be so dangerous for Charlie. The day before the change, we would have Bella pick out contacts, since her eyes would be red. Anyways, after the Christmas break Bella and I would tell Charlie that we were engaged. After high school we would get married.
Bella said that her father always wanted to go to college, so she said she would go to Forks community college. We were actually going to do this. I remember the first day I met Bella, like it was yesterday. And now we were going to be married.
He remembered…
"My name is Edward Cullen." He continued.
"I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last week. You must be Bella Swan."
"H-how do you know my name?"
"Oh, I think everyone knows your name. The whole town's been waiting for you to arrive."
"No, I mean why did you call me Bella?"
"Do, you prefer Isabella?"
"No, I like Bella."
I cannot believe how mean I was before. I still remember one of our biggest fights. That I wish never happened.
"Bella, you hit your head, you don't know what you're talking about."
"There's nothing wrong with my head."
"What do you want from me, Bella?"
"I want the truth. I want to know why I'm lying for you."
"What do you think happened?"
"All I know is that you weren't anywhere near me- Tyler didn't see you, either, so don't tell me I hit my head too hard. That van was going too crush us both- and it didn't, and your hands left dents in the side of it- and you left and dent in the other car, and you're not hurt at all- and the van should have smashed my legs, but you were holding it up…"
"You think lifted a van of you?" He continued.
"Nobody will believe that, you know."
"I'm not going to tell anybody."
"Then why does it matter?"
"I don't like to lie- so there'd better be a good reason why I'm doing it."
"Can you just thank me and get over it?"
"Thank you."
"You're not going to let it go, are you?"
"No."
"In that case… I hope you enjoy disappointment."
I ignored her for a very long time and I regret it. I got me thinking though, on how much I desire to be near her. She loves me. No one has ever loved me, in that way before. I always saw Alice and Jasper, but I never really thought about it. Did that make me strange? Maybe, that is why my family thought it was so weird for me to have these feelings. They probably thought I was just "lusting" over her blood. It is so much more then that. And, let me tell you I can't wait until Bella is finally a vampire. Yes, it was hard for me to think of her doing this, and having her spend her whole life walking among the living. But, think of all the rest of the things. Bella would be with me forever. I wouldn't have to worry about going to far… and possibly hurting her. She would have my families support. It pleases me to see how much Bella gets along with Alice. Carslie's talk really made me feel stupid of waiting so long. It's not like we would have got married if I told her a year ago. Charlie would have a hear attack.
Bella has told me that she is going to tell her father about her change, before we get married. Then she told me that if he is not ok with it, then Carslie could walk her down the isle. Bell, would give up her fathers love for me… I couldn't wait to spend my life with her. Not the rest of my life, but forever.
The next morning Bella was in my arms. She woke up and saw me smiling at her.
"What?"
"Nothing… I am just remembering the first time we met."
"Oh, when you asked for a schedule change and I saw your black eyes for the first time. Or, when you introduced yourself?"
"When, I introduced myself. I never want to remember anything before that."
"Good, neither do I."
I laughed and she looked at me dazzled. When I continued talking she smiled,
"You were talking again last night.
"What did I say this time?"
"Mrs. Bella Cullen, Mrs. Bella Cullen, Mrs. Bella Cullen-"
"Okay, okay I get the point."
"Bella, I don't think you do." I said as I kissed her cheek.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is… no matter how long we will be together (he winked)… I will always love that name, Mrs. Bella Cullen…"
She had the biggest love-filled eyes and said,
"I will always love you, Mr. Edward Mason Cullen."
I laughed. I picked her up and held her to my face,
"I love –"
I was cut off when she kissed me.
"Edward, can you just kiss me?"
"I'd be delighted!" And with that we spent the rest of the day dreaming, of what life as
Mr. and Mrs. Cullen would be like.
Hope you guys like it. All credit goes to Stephenie Meyer! If it wasn't for her the characters wouldn't exist. Thank You! Next chapter will be longer! Sorry again for my grammar errors.
