"Hey everyone, how was school?" Esme greeted as we came through the front door, her smile wide as she walked over to pull me into a hug, my hand still linked with Edwards. Emmett's face lit up as he grinned back at her, his dimples showing "oh it was ok, I turned in my history paper, Jasper and I tried to see who could make it around the classroom fastest without anyone seeing we were not in our seat. Oh and Bella was proposed to, are we still planning on hunting this weekend?" Esme's arms froze around my waist and I could practically feel her vibrate with excitement as what Emmett said sunk in "he proposed!" Esme cried out as she took in the ring on my finger.
"I knew you were thinking about it but I would have thought you would have given her your mother's ring, since you asked Carlisle for it. Anyway., it doesn't matter, I cannot believe th..." I looked at Edward in shock before he interrupted her "Esme, I did not propose to Bella. She and Emmett are pretending to be married for a school project" Esme's face fell and an "oh" fell from her lips, she looked with raised eyebrows at Edward and I knew she was talking to him through her thoughts. I was still in shock that Edward had thought about proposing to me, even asking for his mother's ring. I know how much it would mean to him for me to wear it but I don't think I'm ready for that yet, we had never discussed marriage let alone the details of when. I was broken out of my thoughts as I found Edward looking at me strangely, as soon as he saw that I had noticed, he half-smiled and looked away, nervously stroking his thumb on the back of my hand.
Emmett decided to be the one that broke the silence, strolling over to throw his arm over my shoulder and effectively pulling me away from Edward "so what should we do for our project? We could use this as some brother/sister bonding time" he began to laugh "I could show you how we hunt, get some practise in before the big day" I noticed his gaze drifting over my shoulder and I didn't have to look to know what expression would be on Edward's face, Emmett leaned in close to stage-whisper to me "perhaps not then. Bella, don't look now but I think your ex is jealous that I'm stealing you away" I sighed heavily at him and rolled my eyes, changing the subject back by asking if he had any other ideas. He pursed his lips slightly as he thought then started to chuckle slowly, a second later Edward joined in "I know what we could do" he laughed.
