Be mine forever

I rolled down the tinted window and watched the road slowly disappear as the wind carried my smooth brown hair and stuck to my cool cheek.

As I looked out of the passenger window where there once were large green trees flying by, I thought of something that I had only thought about when my mother and I still lived alone and we would talk about my life once I turned 18.

While my mother and I would watch movies and eat as much candy as possible on Friday nights, we would also talk about if I would want to go to Collage or even how many children I would want when I would have my 39th birthday. But some of those nights my mother and I would also talk about the day that I would get married to the love of my life. I was going to get married somewhere magical, as my mom would put it. A place that would bring me happiness and that I could never forget.

I wanted something better than just getting married in a church or under a chapel. I wanted something prefect. And as I sat next to Edward in the speeding car and Edward held my hand in his cool hand, I thought of if I would really get to marry the love of my life one day.

That was what Edward was to me really, the love of my life. I could not imagine myself with any other person or any other life at all. The task seemed impossible to me. I wanted to know if I would ever get to marry Edward or if he was too afraid to change me still.

"Edward." I looked at his beautiful face.

"Yes Bella?"

"Happy Anniversary!" I handed him a small box that held a brand new golden watch that I had bought when I went to the mall the first week that I flew to Florida.

"I hope you don't think I forgot, happy anniversary too baby! This is so nice, where did you get it?"

"I got it when I went to the mall not to long ago. I saw it and it almost made me cry because for some reason it reminded me of you. I had to buy it hoping that maybe it would help me feel better."

"Why don't I remember you going to the mall?"

"I don't know?"

Before we could talk any longer the smooth black road turned to sandy and bumpy my daydreams left my mind and I flew back to reality. Edward got out of the car and came around and opened mine.

"Thank you Bella. I love it. You will love you gift(s) as well!" The happiness in his voice made me feel a lot better about myself getting married some time soon.

"You're welcome; you didn't tell me that you got me more than one thing."

"I didn't need to, it's wouldn't have mattered if you gave me a gift or not."

"Are you ready to do this?" I dropped the subject and tried to change it to something that wouldn't end up in a small argument.

"I think so, how many children did you say there were going to be here?"

"I don't know it's for my mothers work so hopefully not to many." Edward grabbed my hand again and we walked side by side to the balloons and the smell of burning hotdogs and hamburgers.

"Bella! You came, I am so happy are you hungry?"

"Sure." I wasn't really hungry but I didn't want my mother to get upset that I wouldn't eat some of the food that they all had made.

"Oh hey Edward, would you like something also? Trust me there is plenty!"

"No thank you, I had some food before I picked Bella up."

"Ok, if you get hungry anytime just help yourself." I grabbed a hamburger and some BBQ chips and Edward and I walked down near the shore and sat on a skinny and hard log so I could feed the seagulls my food.

"When are you going to tell me what you are planning? You know you are killing me!"

"You know that I could never do that to you, I just want today to be special."

"I know you and I both thing that hanging out at this boring party isn't special." I continued to feed the birds my bun and chips.

"Every day is special for me if I get to be with you Bella, always remember that. I love you and will do anything for you even if we have to do this before our other plans tonight." Edward leaned over and kissed me on my cheek near my left ear.

"I love you too Edward." For awhile Edward and I watched the tide come closer and closer to us before we got up because the small log that we were sitting on was beginning to hurt my butt.

"Are you ready to leave this weird party and show me my surprise yet?" I asked Edward feeling as if I couldn't wait another minute to know what he was planning to give me.

"Only if you are Bella, do you want to tell your mom where you will be?"

"Yeah just stay right here I will be right back" I ran up a pile of sand and meet up with my mom. I told her that Edward was planning something special for me and that I would be home not too late. I hugged her goodbye and ran back to Edward.

He was standing in the same exact spot with the same exact expression on his face was the same smile and look in his eyes. You could tell that from a hundred miles away that he was very excited about something.

"Sit down real fast, I need to do something."

"Ok" As I sat down Edward leaned over and started taking off my tennis shoes and socks.

-Sorry I know that sounded like the perfect time but trust me the time will come!

"Why are you taking off my shoes and socks?" I began to feel a little self-conscious since I wasn't sure how long it had been since I repainted my toes and prayed that they looked alright. I always felt less beautiful around him since his beauty was all that I could think about.

Thankfully they looked fine and Edward stood up and started taking off his shoes and socks.

"We are going to walk a little bit, is that alright with you?"

"Yeah, that sounds like fun, just don't let me fall into a whole or something!"

"I won't, I promise." I looped my arm around Edward's and we walked to a destination I wasn't sure off. As we were walking I looked at the dark blue water crashing against the other waves until it reached the shore and ran over and around my pink toes. The water was surprisingly warm unlike the freezing water in Washington. I don't think anyone owns a bathing suit in Washington that is JUST for the beach.

It began to come to mind that I had been very close to Edward today and I wasn't sure if he was alright or was doing fine with that.

We walked for what seemed days until Edward scared the living day lights out of me by quickly putting his hand over my eyes without any warning.

"What are you doing! I can't see Edward!" I started to panic and the realized that there was no reason to since I was there with Edward.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you just you aren't aloud to see anything just yet."

"Why can't I?"

"Because we have reached your surprise, no just hold my hand and I will walk you over and sit you down but you have to promise that you will not look …..Ok Bella?"

"Yes, but hurry I don't think my lungs can last any longer, I am breathing too hard." Just then I felt a cool soft breeze that hit my face that smelt a wonderful smell that made me just freeze. I didn't mover for a few minutes.

"Did that help?" Edward had blown slightly his cool amazing breath into my face. It brought tingles up and down my spine and made my knees turn to Jello.

"No! now I feel like I am going to f a i n t." I talked very slowly and it was even hard for me to even understand what I was saying myself.

"Sorry, Ok sit down slowly." Ground, it felt wonderful.

"Ok, now slowly open our eyes….Bella?"

"I can't I am afraid of what I am going to see, I have been waiting for so long and now I can't open my eyes." As I felt the warm sand underneath me I felt very afraid to open my eyes and see my surprise from Edward. I knew it would be over whelming and I was still felling a little dizzy from Edward dazzling me.

"Ok ... I think I can open my eyes now, can I Edward?" It had only been a few moments until I felt a little better.

"When ever you are ready Bella, go ahead."

As I slowly opened my tightly shut eyes, I began to see purple and orange. I was sitting in front of a beautiful sunset. Right over the water the sky looked an amazing purple color that I had never seen before the purple seemed to have red, blue, green, and some yellow mixed into the dark Purple. Above the Purple was a light shade of orange and a lighter red that looked almost pink above it. The sunset was so wonderfully amazing that I had forgotten to look around me and see where I was at.

All around me were what seemed like thousands of rapped presents. All around me were yellow, pink, white, and red rose petals that circled around and above the small and large gifts. There were three lights hanging on some metal that had been bended that made the sand look like glitter. I was out in the open where no people could be found instead of some small birds that were looking for a snack in the patches of grass around me. Everything was Beautiful.

"Edward!...You did all of this?" I just stared wide eyed and amazed at the absolute beauty all around me.

"I did all of this for you. Today is our Anniversary and I wanted everything to be PERFECT."

"Edward when you said you got me more than one gift I thought you meant like three not thirty! Now I feel bad."

"The very last thing I wanted to do was make you feel bad Bella. Plus only a few of these are from me, a lot are from Alice and the rest is from everyone else."

"Who is everyone else?"

"Emmett, Rose, Jasper and even Jessica flagged me down to give a gift to you. I was very surprised that she even remembered that we were dating!"

"That was really nice of her. I need to call her tonight don't let me forget ok? And why did you let Alice go shopping for me? You know she can't stop!" Alice was for sure addicted to shopping when it came to buying things for me.

"I know, I know! That little bug did it when I told her not to. I knew you would be upset about it. She just likes to spoil you, I wish I could stop her but you know I can't."

"I know and I love her to death but how in the world am I going to explain to everybody that I suddenly got rich overnight?"

"Trust me, they will have an idea."

"What?" What in the world did Edward mean by that? Did he know something that I didn't?

"Nothing sweetie, just start opening the gift from smallest to biggest. They all have who they are from on them so you won't get confused. "

"Ok." I had a feeling that I would never know why. I stood up and looked around for the smallest gift. I picked it up and brought it over to where I was sitting, It was from Alice.

I unwrapped the small gift and under the colorful paper was a small box. The box was cardboard and inside was a necklace with a small heart and a diamond in the middle of the heart.

"Alice!" The necklace was so beautiful; it was gold and so clean that I could see my reflection in it.

"Yes?" Alice walked up from behind me and before I could say anything she gave me a hug.

"It's beautiful Alice."

"I know you don't like me buying you a lot of stuff Bella but I love you and I hope we will be friends forever."

"Oh Alice! I love you too, thank you."

"Trust me there's more! I'm excited!"

I bet you are now go back to the car. We will be there in a second."

"I can't watch Bella open up the other gifts I gave her?"

"I'd rater you didn't Alice, please?"

"Ok, see you soon Bella." Alice bent over and gave me another bear hug and walked back up the sand hills and disappeared.

"Would you like me to put that on for you?" Edward held out his hand and I laid the necklace Alice just gave me in his hand.

"Yes please." I turned around and pulled up my brown hair so he could put it on.

"Ok now here's another." It seemed like today was Christmas for me today with all of the gifts that I was getting. Just today was not Christmas, It was 90 degrees and that I was getting more gifts now than I had any other Christmas that I have had in my life.

Edward just kept handing me gift after gift that had clothes, more Jewry, a microwave, and some few other bizarre things that I thought I would never need.

"Why do I need a microwave?"

"Alice has her reasons trust me..." I had just opened the gift from Jessica. It was a beautiful medium sized mirror that had many fake but nice jewels around the border. I liked the mirror even if I really didn't need an other excuse to look at myself.

"Alright is that all of them because I think my fingers are going to fall off."

"No, there is one more left." So far besides the car Edward had gotten me some new books, new bed sheets, a bathroom organizer, and a few really cute lamps. Maybe Edward was planning on giving my room a makeover! That had to be it.

"Ok good." The last gift was the biggest gift out of all of them and it was bigger than mine and Edward's heads put together.

"Edward what in the heck did you get me? This is huge!" I picked up the very large box expecting it to be heavy put instead it was lighter than most of the other gifts.

I began to unwrap the last and final gift. But when I opened the box there was another box inside of the box that I had just opened. I gave Edward a face that screamed out without any words, what in the world did you get me

I opened the next box and opened another after another and as each box got smaller I began to get more and more nervous of what was in the smallest box. I opened the last box until I got to a black velvet box. I opened it up slowly not knowing what to expect.

Inside the black velvet box was a small gold ring that had three large diamonds in the middle. It seemed to look like a wedding ring. A tear drop began to drip down my face.

"Ed…" I looked over to Edward but when I saw him he was do on one knee. The sun was dancing on his golden bronze hair. He surely looked like an angle.

"Isabella Swan will you marry me and be mine forever?

As a million words scrambled inside of my head I tried to pick at least one to answer his question that I only had been waiting for since the first time I had seen him. I really did try to say yes but I was in so much shock that my mouth wouldn't move and the words wouldn't come out. Instead I stood up and ran over to him and jumped into his arms.

As Edward picked me up and spun me around and I whispered the word that I had been longing to say to him. "Yes."

A/N – I promise I will get the second half up as soon as I can! I just have a lot of essays and projects to finish and I never have any time to write before soccer practice! I am very very sorry if I just left everyone hanging! Well again I promise I will update very soon! - Jessica
