Chapter 4: his decision
I could barely hold myself together from enjoyment. I was going to become a vampire, and then I had the thought was Edward going to do it?
Alice started to dance off, I ran after her shouting, "Wait!"
"Yes," Alice was puzzled.
"Who does it… change me?"
"Oh, Edward does." Alice walked off happy as ever. I don't believe it. I was going to become a vampire and Edward was going to do it. Was I going to marry him or was he going to give in; which I highly doubt.
I had to know. I ran up stairs to Edward's room on the third floor as fast as physically possible passing Alice and Rosalie who wasn't looking so happy, probably from my decision; she never did want me to become one of them.
I barged into his room slamming the door to the wall I found Edward starring out the window waiting for me. He twisted his body to face me, walked silently to the couch, and patted the extra space of room left on the couch convincing me to sit next to him.
"Edward -" but he cut me off.
"No," he said putting his finger to my lips, "wait, I need to think for a second." he placed his fingers into the middle of his nose and squeezed his eyes shut in concentration.
I interrupted because I just couldn't hold it in, but just when I was about to say something he started pleading, "Bella, I know I have asked you multiple times, but I really mean it this time," he dropped on one knee and tilted his head to look into my eyes. "Bella Swan? I Promise to love you forever- every single day of forever." Nothing could have ruined the feeling I had of excitement but this. He reached into his pocket to pull out the black velvet box that reminded me of his pure, velvety voice. The ring that belonged to his mother was more appealing to my eyes; it glistened in the light hitting my eyes with an assortment of colors. "Will you marry me?"
I got on the floor and kissed him. Letting go of his lips I stood up and said with enthusiasm, "Yes!" I began kissing him, again, never wanting to stop.
Edward took a tight grip of my face in his cold palms and pushed be more forcefully towards him. The passion felt so real and it felt more like love to me. I was going to become a bride to the man, well person I love. It feels so good, but better.
"Edward I love you."
"I know and I love you, too."
Edward let go of his grip and grabbed my left hand and paused looking up at my face with a huge grin showing his pure white teeth, and put his mother's ring on my third finger and saying with exhilaration, "I love you and I can't explain how much I do, honey." I felt the urge to cry but I sucked it in, I didn't want to ruin the best day of my life.
Edward and I walked outside the room to share the good news about us becoming husband and wife. The moment was great: it was a nice day with the sun bright but not too bright for the Cullens not to come outside, and I was happy, happier then I had been in my whole life. I didn't want it to end. I clung to Edward's side; gripping the arm that wasn't swung around my waist. When we got to the end of the hallway and down the stairs, we found everyone waiting for our entrance, as if they knew what just happened. Alice probably knew and told everyone. They all had the same expression on their face: ecstasy and anticipation.
I was glad everyone was there; I wanted this to last for a long time. I looked towards Edward, my future husband, and then glared to everyone, "Edward."
"Yes, Bella."
"Now that I said yes," I pursed my lips and leaped to the question with much joy, "will you change me now?"
He stopped, his smile changed into a distressed frown. He looked like he was thinking, thinking hard. He stood there in that same position for a long time. It scared me, did I ruin the moment of happiness for him? Then he looked better, he moved and at a good time to. I was about to see if he was still alive, if he didn't move in a while.
"Bella," he said in an earnest voice and paused, "I think I can do that. Think of it as an early wedding gift." he smiled and I smiled in sequence, we hugged and kissed.
I was wondering why the room was moving up and down and I realize it was me. I was jumping from the thrill. He was going to change me. Nothing can ruin this now. I was so happy.
