"You are a millionaire?" I asked surprised.

"Bella, I am a vampire with a lot of time in my hands. Money is never an issue for me."

"Oh"

"Yeah, in fact I own half the businesses in Seattle alone."

"Oh"

"What's with the 'oh'?"

"Sorry, just thinking."

"Does money make you uncomfortable?"

"A little." I said honestly.

"It's ok, you will get used to it."

We were both silent for a few minutes. I was sure he was giving me time to take everything in.

"Bella, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you. Do you want to be like me?" he asked ending the silence.

"Huh?"

"Become a vampire." He clarified.

"I …" I didn't know what to say.

"I don't want you to freak out. I just wanted you to know that if you choose to be like me, I will gladly change you but if you want to stay human, I will support that too."

That is when I really started to think about it.

I realized that he was frozen in time. He would never age or die whereas I was a human and a very accident prone one too. I realized that if I remained human, I could easily die with my accident prone tendencies. If I was lucky, I would get a few more years but eventually I would age and die. In both cases, death was inevitable.

It terrified me to think about being away from him even if it was death that causes it; and just like that I was ready. I was ready to face the unknown because I knew he would be right beside me.

When I told him this, he looked beyond happy. He gave me a beautiful smile which made him look more like a Greek god.

He told me that he wanted me to wait for few more years before changing so that I could enjoy my human life a little longer. I was reluctant but agreed when he told me how he wished he could enjoy some human experiences. He wanted me to never have such a longing for doing simple things.

He excused himself to make a call and left me there to enjoy the beauty of the waves. As I relaxed, I felt as if the weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Until now, I was alone in a sea of people. With Edward, I knew that I would never be alone again.

He came to my life in a blink of an eye and changed it upside down. He gave me the one thing that I longed for all my life- an unconditional love. A love that was so pure, innocent and beautiful that it could only be otherworldly.

He gave me hope for a better future and filled my numb mind with colorful dreams. He became my sun, my moon and stars within a few minutes of meeting.

"Love, I called my sister. She assured me that everything will be ready for our marriage tomorrow." He said as he sat behind me and hugging me close to him.

"Your sister?"

"Yes my sister. Her name is Alice. She is a tiny little thing with raven hair and golden eyes. We met a couple of years after I was changed. She was alone and so was I. From that day onwards she was my sister." His eyes were filled with love and his lips had a smile when he talked about her.

"Tell me more about her." I asked curiously.

"She is really sweet. She can see the future so she is the one who warns me about the weather. She is the only family I have." I could feel the love he felt for her through our bond.

"Does she have a mate?"

"No but she says she will meet him soon, though for her, 'soon' might be a decade or two. She is very excited to meet you."

"I am excited too."

We sat there for a few more minutes talking about his life with his sister before deciding to go to his house which was located just outside Seattle. I wanted to go home to get some clothes but Edward stopped me. He told me that he wanted me to return to Forks as his wife which made me giddy.

We walked towards his car, a beautiful black Volvo, holding hands. He opened my door making me blink in surprise. I didn't know that people did that nowadays, but the gesture made me feel special nonetheless.

As soon as I entered the car I was hit by the smell of leather and Edward. I could not resist myself from taking a deep breath, inhaling the wonderful smell.

He took my hand in his once again and held it the entire way making me very happy. I could see that he was happy too.

"This is where you live?" I asked in wonder as I looked at the mansion that stood in front of me.

"Yeah…"

"But you said you and your sister lived alone." I asked confused, not understanding the need of such a big mansion for only two people.

"Yes love, we do. As for buying such a big house, it reminded me of my own in Chicago where I lived with my parents."

Even though he had a smile, I could see sadness in his eyes. I hugged him close to me not able to stand it any longer. After all, an angel should never be sad.

Suddenly the large door opened and out came a beautiful woman with bright eyes and a beautiful smile.

"Bella, you are here!" she screamed running towards me and hugging me like a lost friend.

I was surprised by her reaction towards me.

"Let her breath, tinker." Edward said all the while laughing.

"Bella, I am so happy that you are here. We are going to be best friends." She declared as she pulled me inside along with her.

She led me straight to the kitchen without even giving me the time to breath.

"sit." She said practically pushing me into a chair. I could hear Edward's laughter from behind making me forget my nervousness.

"I know you are hungry." she said placing a plate of sandwich in front of me.

That is when I realized I had not eaten anything the entire day.

"Thank you, Alice. But how did you know that I was hungry?"

"I had a vision of you passing out." She told me in a matter of fact way, making me blush.

I started eating as Alice sat next to me.

"Bella, I need to make some arrangements for our wedding. I will be in my office. If you need anything, just call me." Edward said as he kissed my forehead before walking away.

"I am so glad he found you, Bella. He was alone for so long that he almost lost hope of finding you." Alice said after a few minutes.

I didn't know what to say but Alice was not bothered by my silence.

"He is a good man, Bella. He is a great brother too. He gave me a family when I was alone. I know he will love you unconditionally." She continued.

I was sure she would have had tears in her eyes if she was still human.

"I know." I said finally.

My own eyes filled with tears as I thought about how lucky I was to meet him. I was also touched by how welcomed I felt here.

"Hey, no more tears."

"I am sorry, Alice. I just…"

"It is ok, Bella. I know it is overwhelming. You are my sister now. You can tell me if you want me to give you some space."

More tears fell as I heard her words. I had never felt so welcomed by anyone including my own family, ever in my life.

Alice hugged me as I told her this. I told her about my family. She looked furious when I told her how they treated me.

"Bella, they are not your family. They hurt you intentionally which a true family never does. Look at me. We are your family now. We love you and would never do anything to hurt you."

"Thank you Alice." I said sincerely.

"You are welcome. Now come on, I will give you a tour of the mansion."

I felt happy as I walked with Alice who was holding my hand and swinging it as we explored the mansion. Finally she led me to a small room. I could not believe my eyes when I saw that the room was filled with wedding dresses hanging from a rail across it.

"Alice…"

"Don't look so surprised, Bella. Every girl should experience the beauty of finding their perfect dress. I know we don't have the time to roam around the city for your dress so I brought the stores to you."

"Alice, this is…" I could not express my emotions in words so I just hugged her with all the might I had.

"Thank you so much. You are the best sister that anyone could have."

"You are welcome, Bella. Now enough with the water works. Come on, let us pick your wedding dress." She said pulling me along with her as she ran towards the dresses.

We laughed and cried as we tried them on. Well, I cried while she stared. Anyway, it was the most fun I had in ages.

After finding the perfect dress she hugged me and led me to a big door.

"Go ahead. Edward is waiting for you." She said kissing my cheek and dancing away.

As I opened the door, I gasped at the sight before me.

The room was filled with thousands of red roses making it look like it was a part of a romance novel. Candles gave the room a soft glow, making it more beautiful and magical.

But my attention was taken away by the man standing in the center of it. He was handsome before, but in the glow of the candles, he looked more other worldly.

I blinked a few times to see whether I was dreaming. I was so captivated by him that I didn't realize that he was walking towards me until he was right in front of me.

He took my hand in his and led me to the center of the room.

"I love you." He whispered as he kissed my fore head.

He then dropped to one knee.

"Bella, before you, my life was like a moonless night. Very Dark, but there were stars…points of light and reason...And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. You changed my life in a blink of an eye. You breathed life into my dead heart. You made me feel human once again.

Bella, it's an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bare your soul to and accept you for what you are. I've been waiting, for what seems like a very long time, to get beyond what I am. With you I feel like I can finally begin. Isabella Swan, I promise to love you every moment, forever. Would you do me the extraordinary honor of marrying me?"

I was so overcome with emotion that I could only nod my head vigorously. A brilliant smile lit his face as he saw me nod. He kissed my hand and gently slid a beautiful ring on my finger.

He then hugged me closer and kissed me hard, making me dizzy.

"I love you." He whispered once again as he pulled back.

His words brought me joy, his arms around me gave me a sense of security and in his eyes I saw forever.
