A/N: I own nothing but the plot. I'm working on 13 right now so I'll get it to you soon. This weekend is my bday so I may not get as much done as I want…oh yeah I'm now available as a beta if anyone wants me.
Chapter 12
'What…' I stammered. He couldn't be serious. We were just seniors in high school. I looked at him and I saw his look that changed from happy to the verge of dying. 'You're serious?'
'Yes, I am.' He could tell I did not believe him that much. 'Edward, I'm not going to leave you but, this is just out of stress. Neither of us has really thought about this…'
'I hate.' He had been fiddling his thumbs. He looked up at me and smiled. 'Look in the glove compartment.' I looked to see if he was serious and he was. So I went to look. I opened it slowly and the first thing I saw was a small velvety black box. 'Edward…' He grabbed the box and made me face him.
'Bella, I have longed to ask you this. Last break I got this from Esme. It was my mothers, Esme knew I would not do anything stupid and she loves you. When we weren't together I would just come out to my car and hold this knowing the second we were back together I wouldn't let you get away.' He took a breath and I let one out I had not known I was holding.
Both his parents had died when he was young and his adopted mom and dad (Carlisle and Esme) took such good care of him and his siblings. 'Bella, I ask you again…' He opened the box that showed a huge diamond with four smaller diamonds around the edges on a sliver band. '…will you marry me?'
I looked deep into his eyes and knew what I was going to say. 'I love you so much, yes I'll marry you!' His face lit up and he leaned over and gave me a kiss I longed to deepen it but just as I was about to, he pulled up my left hand and put the ring on. His mother's ring was gorgeous.
He gave me one last kiss and went back to driving back to the dorms. We walked up to my room and he said, 'do not forget…your sisters are dying to know.' I looked at him slowly. 'Would you mind holding this till dinner?" I handed him my ring. 'We can tell everyone then.'
His smile grew large and he gave me a kiss as he took the ring and put it into his pocket. Alice then popped out of the room. 'Bella! In here... NOW!'
'Bye, love' with another kiss and my prince was gone. I was then dragged into our room and sat down on my bed. ' So,…'Alice presumed, 'DETAIL!?' Alice and Rosalie yelled in unison.
I replayed the whole evening up until when Edward proposed minus the intimate details of last night and the worrying of when I woke up. 'Bella! That is awesome!' Rosalie told me while realizing she was still sitting on my bed and moved to the couch. I laughed. 'Wait…what's the deal with Jacob?' Alice asked.
'It's a long story.' I started. 'Well you can just tell us during your makeover'! Rosalie interrupted. I groaned. Alice on makeup and Rosalie on hair I started my story.
'Other than Jacob, Edward, and I no one knows. At the beginning of Edward's and mine relationship, years ago. Jacob liked me. Well…more of obsessed over me.' Rosalie and Alice made appropriate 'ooo's and 'ohh's at the correct points.
"Anyways, the first time Edward and I got into a fight was when Edward thought I cheated on him…I didn't though! But, the reason he thought I did was because one day between classes Jacob decided to kiss me so I would realize how I felt about him. Anyways Edward walked in as it was happening…He finally got Jacob off of me and asked me if I had willingly don't it.' Alice and Rosalie were now done with makeup and hair and were moving onto my toes and fingernails.
'The only reason we fought was because I was mad he thought I'de do that. But, we fixed everything in 5 minutes.' Alice and Rosalie helped me into my dress, '…this is short.' I told them.
'Whatever' Rosalie said doing her own makeup and hair. 'Edward just always gets protective around me when Jacob is around.'
'I can tell…Emmett can be just like that sometimes, only if another guys just looks at me.' Rosalie then slipped her dress on. She looked gorgeous. 'Well Jasper never acts on his jealousy but I can see it in his eyes,' Alice interjected.
Alice was wearing a simple black dress with a square front with a low back and ended two inches about her knees with chunky beads. Rosalie had a spaghetti strap cocktail dress with sequences on the top of her empire line. 'OK Bella…look at yourself in the mirror.' Rosalie said as Alice turned me around.
I was wearing a turquoise blue empire waist, mini dress. It hit five inches from my knees and ruffled out for two inches. It was gorgeous and I did not know the girl in the dress. I guess it was me!
'Ok enough gawking' Rose said. 'Yeah! That's the boys' jobs.' Alice told us. We laughed in a fit of giggles and went down stairs.
We walked out of the elevator Alice and Rose in the front met Jasper and Emmett. I walked out and got nipped in the butt by the elevator doors and with the death traps Alice and Rose put me in, I fell.
I expected the floor to meet my face any second and two arms found me and pulled me up. He pulled me close and whispered for only me to hear. 'I can not have my future Mrs. Edward Cullen fall in front of everyone.' He gave a crocked smile. I thought 'God, I love this man.'
