Love Remains the Same
Chapter 2
Everything was absolutely perfect. How I had always imagined and dreamed it would be. My friends and family looked on as Edward smiled crookedly at me. The smile I love and would always continue to love. It lifted up at the left side and his emerald eyes sparkled as I look at him. He slowly slid down on to one knee and looked me in my now teary brown eyes.
"Bella I love you more than anything. You are my whole life, my love. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife." he looked up at me with a hopeful expression. He looked so nervous, but how could he? He had to know I have been waiting for this and I would never say no!
I felt the tears start to slowly leak down my face. This was the greatest moment of my life. "Yes!" I cried. "Yes of course! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" and he slid the ring on my finger. "This is the happiest moment of my life!" I smiled up at him to see him smirking.
"It's not the happiest moment of mine." He laughed.
"What?" How could he not be happy? We would be together forever.
"You think I really want to marry you?" He said sneering in a disgusted tone. "Why would someone like me ever want to marry someone like you? I mean, why do you think it took me so long to pop the question?" Tears were still streaming down my face but not for the same reasons anymore. "I have no other choice. You are who I'm stuck with." No, he didn't mean this. He couldn't. He loves me. "I will never really want to marry you." He laughed in my face.
No this couldn't be happening. I turned around to see the faces of my family and friends, the ones who I loved most and who loved me, or who I thought did.
They were laughing. Pointing and laughing at me. How could I ever think he would love me? How could I be so stupid! He will never want to marry me. Ever!
"Bella,"
Forever alone, that was me. Never to be loved and cherished by another. The tears were coming faster now as I continued to spin, looking at my friends, family, and the man I love, who would never feel the same.
"Bella. Bella. Bella baby wake up."
"Edward!" I screamed in fright as I looked jerked up in bed.
"Shhh baby it's ok I got you love." Edward cooed in my ear as he wiped the hair out of my face and carefully and lovingly wiped the tears off my face. I looked around to see that we were in our bed in our home in L.A. It has been a week since the New York concert, and our new song was at number one.
"Love what's wrong?" He asked as he looked in my teary eyes and held my face in both his hands.
I just shook my head and continued to look at him, convincing myself he really was here and he really did love me.
"Please won't you tell me what's wrong?" He pleaded. Edward always says how much he hates it when I cry. I looked at him and then I just broke down. I wrapped my arms around his waist and snuggled my head into his chest.
"Please don't leave me." I whispered into his chest.
"What?" He asked sounding completely shocked.
"Please, love me." I sniffed before a loud sob escaped my lips.
"Oh Bella." He sighed as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to him so I was in his lap. I didn't argue, instead I snuggled closer. "I will never leave you Bella. Ever." He said pulling me back so I could see the truth of his words in his eyes. "And I will always love you." He said truthfully and then he pulled me back into his chest.
Why won't you marry me than? I wanted to scream at him. If you love me why don't you want to spend forever with me?
I of course didn't say any of that. Instead I snuggled further into the man I loved before I leaned up and kissed his perfect lips.
"Love we have to get up."
"No." I said stubbornly and inhaled his marvelous scent.
"Yes." He laughed.
"No, I don't wanna." I whined like a little kid. I kissed his beautiful naked chest and smiled as I felt him shiver beneath me.
"Babe we have to be at the studio in an hour." He reasoned with me, although I could tell he didn't want to leave this bed either, and kissed my hair. I knew he was right but I didn't want to leave his arms. I felt so safe and perfect.
"Fine." I grumbled and sat up in bed. I hopped out and went to the shower holding a towel in my hands. I walked in the bathroom and put my towel in the hook. Than I walked back out to see Edward pouting and still sitting in bed while he was still gaping at where my naked form had entered the bathroom.
"Well, are you coming?" I asked standing in the doorway with a suggestive smirk on my face.
I didn't need to say anymore as a giant smile took over his face and he ran into the bathroom shutting the door behind him.
We walked into the studio exactly one hour later with wet hair and giant grins on our faces, my nightmare from before almost completely forgotten. It was alright though because they have to do our hair and makeup anyway.
Edward's right arm was slung around my waist as we walked in laughing. Edward leans down and pecks my lips causing me to blush but my smile only widens. Ah, my loving amazing boyfriend.
Boyfriend.
And there was that word again.
Then the dream pops up in my mind again like an annoying pest you can't get to leave you alone.
Edward proposing.
Wow.
Edward laughing at me along with my friends and family while saying he could never be happy with me.
Double wow. But not for the same amazing reasons.
I had always wondered what it would be like and I know that he loves me, even if my subconscious sometimes doubted the fact that he could, and we would get married eventually but with all of our friends married I couldn't help but dream about it. I turned to look at Edward and saw he was looking at me too. Our eyes locked and saw a gleam go off in his eyes but it vanished just as quickly as it had come. Before I could think to much about it a voice interrupted us.
"Edward! Bella! My stars!" Aro exclaimed. Aro was our director. He was a forty something year old guy who was really nice and always happy. He had white long hair but he could pull it off. He reminded me of Dumbledore in some ways, he was almost like a grandfather to me.
I often thought about introducing him to Alice. They would get along nicely. I smiled slightly just thinking about the two of them.
"Hey Aro." Edward and I replied at the same time smiling at him.
We both turned and looked at each other before we laughed. We were always so in sync, it made me love him even more.
Aro chuckled along with us. "You two are really something. Perfect for each other and to play the main characters in my movie." He said smiling at us.
I looked at Edward lovingly as he returned the look to me. We were perfect for each other.
"Ok right now we are doing the scene where Allie is proposed to and after that we will do the scene where Allie goes back to Noah after she sees him in the newspaper article."
"Ok." I said although I was nervous. In this scene I had to kiss the man who was proposing to me which means I would have to kiss Jacob.
Ew. I was grossed out just thinking about it and I felt Edward's arm tighten around my waist in jealousy.
I rubbed his back soothingly and smiled at him which he tried to return but it ended up being just a grimace.
"Ok let's go! Everyone to hair and makeup!" Aro called and Edward and I had to part ways.
Pretty soon my hair was done as well as my make up and wardrobe. I was really nervous. This was my first movie so I have never kissed another man while Edward and I were dating. Of course Edward being as successful as he is he has had to kiss other girls. He has had to kiss one in every movie he has been in, something I am not happy about. Of course I know it's just acting as does he and the other actresses but still, it's weird.
Plus Jacob was lusting after me. Anyone with eyes could see that so I'm not so comfortable with this. Hopefully it will only take a few takes.
I walked onto set and saw Jacob already there. He winked at me and I scoffed and tried not to gag. I wish I was doing this with anyone else. Thankfully the kiss isn't too intense in this scene, or really any scene that doesn't involve both Edward and myself. Thank god.
Edward walked up to me and smiled while taking my hand.
"Don't worry love you'll do great." He encouraged. We have been filming for a while now and have done all the scenes except for the kissing ones. Aro was kind enough to let us all get to know each other more before that began. Filming should only be another week. I was happy about that, I wanted to take a break and just relax with Edward. Sleep in which means staying up late. I can feel my cheeks reddening at my train of thought.
"Thanks, I just can't wait to get this over with so we can get onto our scene." I said blushing further as he smirked.
Edward leaned in and kissed me lightly on the lips. He pulled back just enough so he could talk and said, "Me neither." Than he kissed me twice more on the lips before letting go of my hand and walking off the set. When he got off the set he turned and smiled at me as I smiled back.
"Ok you two lovebirds, time for the scene." Aro called and I blushed as I realized everyone on set was watching our exchange.
"Ok so we are starting where we left off with this scene. Alright action." We had started this scene about a month ago but never finished, I guess today was the lucky day.
"I really am a smart guy." Jacob started off the scene while I pretended to fake gag. Literally it was what I was supposed to do it the movie.
I was able to hear Edward's slight chuckle and I knew he was thinking the same as I was. That part wasn't acting. The thought made me smile which is good because I needed to smile at this part of the scene.
Jacob laughed and I lightly laughed along. "So what's the problem?" I asked looking at him with bug eyes while shoving cake in my mouth. Fake cake, gross.
"Just this," he continues. "Now listen close. If you marry me," He was saying while I hummed along. "Than you will have lost a life long battle of the fighting against me."
"Oh my god! What do we do!" I exclaimed as I put my napkin in my lap.
Then the 'band' continued to say their part. They started saying things telling the crowd to repeat after and my character and Jacob's character laughed as we followed along.
"See Allie I think you, dammit, I think you have to marry me. I think you need to marry me." He said with a mock serious face.
"I do?" I said skeptically.
"Yes you do."
" I do? Why?"
"Because if you do your parents will always know the unhappiness that you feel."
"I think you have overlooked one minor detail."
"And what is that?"
"You see you have to get their permission first, and I think you may have over estimated their affection for you." I said while smiling coyly.
I knew what was coming and it just made me think of my nightmare once again. The next few lines past until he said, "And one more thing." As he slowly slid down on one knee. I gasped as he pulled out the ring and said, "I love you Allie will you marry me?" It was almost just like my dream except for my name and that in front of me wasn't the perfect adonis that I love. I drowned out the rest of his words as I thought about how much better this would be if only it was Edward proposing to me instead of two characters in a movie.
"Yes," I exclaimed when it was my part and fake tears swelled in my eyes. It wasn't so hard to make them appear since I was imagining Edward proposing to me. Then Jacob did I what I had been dreading, he kissed me.
The kiss wasn't supposed to be long but he kept his gross, wet, lips firmly against mine. I started to stand up and he rose along with me. After about thirty seconds I was able to push him off me while smiling so we didn't have to do it again. He winked at me so the camera couldn't see and went up to the stage where he said his lines and my 'mom' in the film came and congratulated me. Then it was over, finally.
"Cut!" Aro called. "That was good guys I don't think we'll have to do it again." I smiled at that while Jacob scowled.
"You sure?" He asked.
"Yes, now my two love birds, it's your scene."
I smiled at Aro, then wiped my lips and ran up to Edward and kissed him. I needed the memory of Jacob's gross lips erased.
After filming Edward and I went home. The rest of the day was fun as all I did was the scene with Edward. Now Edward was going out with Emmett and Jasper while Rose and Alice came here. I heard the doorbell ring and Edward kissed me goodbye sweetly before leaving and letting the girls in.
"Hey girl!" Alice said plopping herself down on the couch.
"Hey Ali, Rose, what's up?"
"The usual." Rose said sitting on the couch as well.
From then on the night was filled with drinking and gossiping.
"So Emmett told me he wants to have a baby! How amazing is that?" Rose gushes as Alice and smile widely and congratulate her. She has always wanted children.
The glass of wine is empty now and we are all tipsy as I look at both of my happily married friends.
"Am I ugly?" I ask.
"What?" Alice asks.
"No of course not honey you're beautiful." Rose says while putting a comforting arm on my shoulder.
"Than tell me something." I say to them as they nod, silently telling me to continue. "Why doesn't Edward want to marry me!" I wail and burst into tears.
"The idiot!" I hear Alice seethe softly before both her and Rose are comforting me.
"Honey he does he's just waiting for the right time." Alice encourages.
"Yeah but look at you guys. You've both been married for a while now." I point out.
"Yes but we knew Emmett and Jasper longer and were together for much longer." Comments Rose in a soft soothing voice.
"Maybe he just doesn't want to get married." I muse.
"Trust me he does." Alice says confidently. "He's just waiting for the right time. I promise. He will propose soon." Alice says softly with a sad smile on her face.
The door opens abruptly and the men walk in. Upon seeing that I am crying and both Rose and Alice are comforting me Edward rushes to my side.
"Love what's wrong?" Edward asks while checking me over for signs of injury. I smile at his antics, so caring and loving.
"It's your fault." Mutters Rose.
"What?" Edward asks appalled that he made me cry. "Is it?" He asks me and before I can respond he starts blabbing an apology. "Because if it is I'm so sorry, for whatever I did I was wrong and I won't do it again. I'm so sorry Love, I never meant to to hurt you. Can you forgive me?"
"Edward shh babe calm down." I soothe him. "You did nothing wrong, I love you." I add and he smiles at me my favorite crooked smile where the left side of his mouth rises and his eyes crinkle slightly and gleam.
"I love you too." And he kisses me softly.
Our friends aww and we tell them to shut up before ushering them out of the house for the night.
Edward and I go up to our bedroom and get under the covers with my head laying on his chest and out arms wrapped around each other. I fall into the blackness with my last thought being of what Alice said to me when she hugged me goodbye.
"All in good time Bella. It'll happen."
God I hope she's right!
