Diamond Man
Chapter 16
It had been a couple of moths since his auntie's birthday and Edward and Bella had been dating for 5 months. Today was Valentines Day and Bella hadn't said anything.
Little did she know Edward had planned a romantic day for the both of them, he remembered Bella saying to him that they could spend time with each other without all the drama, for it to be just them and no-one else.
He had bought her a present he was sure she was going to love; it was a blue topaz 9k white gold diamond necklace which was going to match her necklace, Bella was in for a big surprise.
Bella walked down the street with Jasper beside her, she had learnt her lesson the hard way, never go anywhere without one of Edward's men. They were looking for something Bella could get Edward. She hadn't told anyone about Rosalie's secret and she wouldn't tell.
She looked into a shop window and smiled
"Um, I'll wait out here" Jasper looked everywhere but the shop he tilted his hat lower so no one could see his face.
Bella chuckled before walking into the shop.
"Are you sure?"
Edward was in the Metropolitan, one of the joints where people like Edward went for business.
"Quite sure Mr. Cullen, these diamonds are exquisite, the person who owns them was very anxious bring them here, but I managed to convince him, he was scared 'the diamond man' might steal his precious collection"
We laughed before the waiter handed us our scotch
"So how's you lady friend Edward"
Edward smirked at his old friend "Come on Jack, you know how it is, I know you've been talking to my auntie"
Jack smiled and looked down at his glass "How is Lizzie? I heard about the attack, I couldn't come though because of business"
Jack and Edwards auntie knew each other a while back, when Jack went away with his father to carry on the family business, which was being a lawyer for criminals, Elizabeth married Jonathan Myer, Jonathan died when Edward was 13.
"I know, Isabella Swan huh, I hear Maranzano wants her" Jack sipped his scotch and looked at Edward, Jack realized Edward had no idea how bad his temper could get, he had seen it once when Edward was younger when someone hurt his auntie.
"I'll deal with Maranzano, anyway let's talk about these diamonds, how big?"
Bella walked into her apartment to see an envelope on her mail table, she opened it and saw a letter written by Edward. She smiled and read it
Doll
Tonight your in for a night to remember, there's a dress which I picked out myself for you to wear for tonight. It's on your bed. Follow the roses and you'll also find something else there which I'm sure you'll love.
I'll meet you at your place at 7:00 sharp
Your Cake-Eater
Bella chuckled and looked on the floor, indeed there was a trail of red rose petals on the floor leading to her bedroom. She remembered giving Edward a key to her place a couple of months ago ever since he said things might get a bit tough.
She walked into her bedroom and saw a blue dress waiting on the bed for her, next to it was a little box with Edward's business monologue on it, she opened it up and gasped.
The necklace was beautiful
Edward walked into the bar with Emmett and James, they were heading out for some drinks before they went to their partners, Edward bumped into the last person he wanted to speak to
"Maranzano"
"Cullen"
"Easy lads" the bartender said with a nervous look on his face "I've just had this place redecorated"
They back away not taking each others eyes away from the other person.
Edward and his men walked to the bar while Maranzano sat with his men over in the dark corner in the back.
"How's things anyway Boss"
"Good James, me and Bella are going out tonight, o by the way, I want you, Emmett, Jasper, and Sonny to get this order tonight, there's a shipment of liquor I want you to get"
"Sure boss"
Edward walked up to Bella's apartment door with a big bunch of roses, he knocked twice
'one sec'
The door opened and Edward had to catch his breath, she was beautiful, her hair was curled but she had it fully down, he saw how shiny it was and he wanted to run his hand through it
"You look gorgeous doll"
She smiled and kissed his lips
"Thank you"
Bella put the flowers in an empty vase full of fresh water and then walked out the door with Edward holding her close to him.
Rosalie sat alone in her apartment waiting for Emmett to come home, she heard someone yelp outside she opened her front door and saw a man carrying a box into the apartment opposite hers.
"Do you need help"
He turned round and dropped the box on his foot
"Crap" he hissed
"Here" she grabbed a box and helped him pack his stuff
"So what's a gorgeous girl like you doing alone on Valentines Day"
She smiled and helped him put his bed sheets on
"I'm actually with someone; he's...working at the moment"
Truth be told Rosalie had no idea where Emmett was, last night she had tried to tell him about the pregnancy but he was asleep on the bed stinking of liquor and females.
She was loosing him and she knew it, it was time Rosalie grew some balls and got her man back...she was going to give him hell.
Bella and Edward had finished their meal and were now in the park their the fountain, Bella leaned on Edward's shoulder and sighed in content
"Bella I need to tell you something"
Bella turned to Edward; he cradled her face and looked into her eyes
"I Love you Bella, you are the woman who I want to spend the rest of my life with, you're the woman I want to have children with, you're the woman who I would love and cherish for the rest of my life"
Edward bent on one knee and Bella gasped
"Isabella Swan, would you do me the honour of becoming my wife"
Bella laughed "Yes, o Edward I love you so much"
He smiled and placed the ring on her finger which matched her necklace, Edward wrapped his arms around her and kissed her passionately.
