A/N: This is my story. Yay. (:

It's actually chapter one of ... many I hope. I just wanted to get your guys view on this. It's been sitting on my computer for a while, but I didn't put it on. You like? Review.

Edward and Bella are about to be married. Set in the summer after Eclipse.

I own nothing.

"We're getting married..."

"We're getting married!"

My mouth fell open as I looked at my one true love. Edward Cullen stood staring at me, not even a foot away, with a look of clear excitment painted in his eyes, mouth, smile. Ugh, his beautiful, beautiful smile.

"Bella! Oh, Bella! I love you so very, very much! You're making me the happiest vampire in the world! I've been alive for more than a hundred years and I've never felt this ecstatic! Oh, Bella!" he grabbed my arm and pulled me into a bone crushing hug. The only other time I was hugged like this was from my ex-best friend, Jacob Black.

Ever since we sent out the invitations to our wedding, I hadn't talked to Jacob once. Edward insisted we invited him. I loved Jacob, naturally, but I knew he would react badly. But not this bad. We sent the invitations just after school finished, in June. It was now August, and I hadn't heard anything from him. I called Billy everyday, he recently stopped picking up, and he hasn't seen him either. We didn't bother sending a search party, because of the small fact that he was a werewolf. And that was what I was very, very, afraid of.

I remembered a story I had heard one night at a bonfire with all the other werewolves. They could stay werewolves forever if they really wanted to. I didn't want that fate for my friend Jacob. It wasn't his choice he was a werewolf. Sometimes I thought that if he was given the choice, he would stay human. It sent shivers down my spine just thinking how much easier things could've been if he really were ...

That's when I remembered I couldn't breath.

"I can't breath, Edward!"

"Sorry, sorry!"

He very slowly, and unwillingly, loosened his death grip on me and I shrugged out of his hug so I could finish packing. I was sleeping over at the Cullens (again, may I add). But I had to admit, I had a lot of fun.

Karaoke, dancing, Edward ... it was sometimes too much for one night and I wouldn't sleep at all and when I got home, Charlie would naturally quiz me on what happened, thinking I went too far, and I would always convince him that I was still a virgin. Against my will.

If it were up to me, I would've slept with Edward long ago. But, I don't think it's up to me, so I'm just going to have to wait.

Until we were ...

married.

I shuddered. Again. Everytime I thought of that word, I shuddered. It's not that I didn't want to marry Edward, I did. Because I knew as soon as I did he'd be able to change me and we'd be together for all of eternity. When I thought of that, my tummy got all butterfly like and my knees got weak.

Eternity. With Edward.

That's what I wanted.

"What are you thinking, love?" I looked back at Edward. He was sitting in the rocking chair by the window. He positioned himself so his legs could be kicked up onto the bed and his hands were behind his head, eyes closed. He looked so peaceful. If I didn't know any better, I would be sure he was sleeping.

I sighed. It seemed that I was getting asked this every ten minutes. But that was understandable. He could read minds, after all, mine being the exception. Poor guy. I always felt bad for him, not reading my mind. He hated it, I hated things he hated.

"I'm thinking ... about you." That was always my answer.

"Mmm ..." he smiled the crooked smile. The crooked smile. The one that made me feel funny all over.

"Excited about tonight, Bella?"

"I'm always excited about tonight, Edward."

He laughed. "That's very true, love. You and Jasper going to dance again?"

I laughed. "Me and Jasper always dance. Sadly ..."

"Not that sad. You guys make me laugh."

I rolled my eyes and finished throwing my things in my bag.

"Ready?" Edward stood up and took the bags from my hand before leaning down and kissing my forehead.

"As always." I smiled.

And we were off.

Review, thanks! xoxo
