A/N: To anyone who is reading surving, I'm working on the next chapter Tin Miss, my beta has vanished for the night and I lost my latest version of the next chapter. So I'm going to ask her to send it back to me. So to everyone else, tell me what you think of this chapter.
Chapter Two
Alice had me dressed, my hair, and make-up done by seven-thirty. Edward was waiting down stairs dressed in a black suit, talking to Jasper when I peeked around the corner. Alice told me to wait and rushed downstairs to alert Edward. Edward stood up, a smile on his face while nodding at something Alice said.
"You can come down now," Alice called, and I carefully made my way down the stairs. Edward took my hand and pressed his lips to it.
"You look beautiful," Edward said, lacing his fingers through mine.
I blushed, looking up into his beautiful green eyes. I felt like I was in high school again, Alice and Jasper played my parents perfectly. Jasper told Edward to have me home by midnight before I kicked them out.
"Sorry," I whispered, as he held open the passenger door to his car.
"Don't worry about it, they were just trying to have some fun," Edward said, shutting the door when my body was safely inside the car. He walked to the trunk of his car, opening it quickly before shutting it. Edward appeared at the driver's side door with a dozen roses in his hand. I gasped, Edward had always been a gentlemen.
"Edward," I whispered, as he opened the door and sat down. Edward handed me the roses before starting the car and backing out of my drive.
"I know I said we could date first, but I don't know if I can wait that long," Edward said, his voice husky.
I blushed, as his hand tightly gripped mine.
"I need to get everything out in the open," he said, glancing at me.
"Me too," I whispered, afraid that if I tried talking my voice would give me away. I was in love with Edward more than ever. I needed to tell him.
"You go first then," he said, reaching over to turn off the radio, releasing my hand.
"Edward, I have feelings for you. I've had them since high school, and when we gave our virginity to each other I wanted to yell out how much I loved you. But I couldn't because we agreed no strings attached. I love you Edward, and I do want to marry you. I'll marry you right now," I told him, when my phone suddenly began ringing. I groaned, when I saw it was Alice.
"What?" I asked, slightly annoyed.
"You will not elope! I've already started planning your wedding," Alice cried, I could just see her tears rolling down her face when she had the vision of us eloping.
"Okay, I won't," I complied, rolling my eyes.
"Have fun," she said, instantaneously more cheerful, then hanging up.
"Alice said we can't elope. She's already planning the wedding," I said, giggling.
"I was just about to suggest we elope, too," he muttered softly.
After the date, we headed back to my house. Edward had taken me to the cutest little Italian place. He walked me up to my door, shoving his car keys into his pocket. I turned around to face him, and found him kneeling down on my porch. I gasped; he was going to propose already. He had been serious when he said he couldn't wait that long.
"Bella, I love you. I've waited seven years to ask this question. Will you marry me?" Edward stared into my eyes; I nodded as tears slipped down my face. I jumped into Edward's arms, our lips met in a fiery kiss.
Somehow we made into the house stumbling back towards my bedroom, where we made love to each other for the rest of the night.
The next morning I awoke to Edward's cell phone beeping. I sat up, glancing down at Edward's bare chest. I waited to see if he was going to wake up, but he was out cold. I reached across his body to grab his phone. As I flipped it open, I already knew what it would say.
One missed call from the hospital.
"Edward," I said, slightly shaking him.
"Oh, Bella," he moaned. I stared wide-eyed at his sleeping form. He was having a wet dream about me. I smiled before moving myself to straddle his waist. A soft kiss would wake him up, I thought. I pressed my lips to his and sure enough his eyes popped open quickly. I pulled back giggling.
"That was a great way to wake up," he said, smiling.
I handed him his phone, and the smile immediately disappeared. He groaned before throwing on some clothes.
"I'm sorry, I have to go in. I'll call you, and my mother may call you too," he said, pressing a soft kiss to my lips.
"Have a good day," I whispered, as he ran out the door of my bedroom.
Edward disappeared for the rest of the day, but Edward's mother did call me. Esme was Edward and Alice's mother in every sense of the word. She loved them with all her heart, adopting them as toddlers after their parents passed away. Alice was actually Edward's blood related cousin but they grew up as brother and sister in the Cullen household, so they treated each other as such.
"Bella! I'm so excited to hear you and Edward are engaged!" Esme squealed into the phone.
I smiled; I knew she would be happy to hear the news. She had always silently hoped Edward and I would get together.
"Yes, he proposed last night," I whispered, looking down at the ring on my finger.
"Can I help plan the wedding?" she asked, a smile in her voice.
"Of course. I'm leaving it all up to you and Alice," I said, glancing at my computer screen.
"Don't worry about anything, we'll take care of you. You and Edward come over for dinner tonight, okay? We're having our normal weekend family get together," Esme said, happily.
"We'll be there," I promised, wondering if Edward knew about the get together.
"Great, I'll see you tonight," Esme said, before hanging up.
I glared at my computer screen for the next few hours until Edward called saying he was on his way home, or to my home. I shut my laptop and danced into the shower to get cleaned up.
I was absorbed in the water and had closed my eyes as the water cascaded down my body when I heard the door open.
"May I join you?"
