My Fairytale Ending

Chapter 17

I reached for Edward's hand and he slowly pulled me out of the sleek, black limo. As he wrapped his arm around my waist possessively we walked up the red carpet. The crowd went wild. Fans were screaming at the top of their lungs for Edward and all the reporters and paparazzi crowd up against the ropes keeping them from getting to us. Edward leaned down and kissed my head softly and light bulbs went off at a frightening speed. Edward turned slightly so I was shielded from the light as we kept walking forward. Reporters were spilling into the aisle and the body guards all around were having a hard time restraining them. As a couple, Edward and I waved to the crowd, only to have more blinding flashes go off.

It was February, and tonight was the Academy Awards. Everyone who was anyone was suddenly flocking to Los Angles, California. Since Edward and I had been going steady since late November he thought it was only appropriate that I should come as his date. And, a bit unwillingly, I came. I dressed in some silky evening dress Alice had specially designed for me.

Sighing I prepared myself for the insane questions. Edward and I where now the hot Hollywood couple and most everyone wanted news. It was a bit crazy when I opened the cooking magazine for some new recipes and saw they had an article about how Edward and I enjoyed making certain dishes. To say I was shocked was an understatement.

Questions came out with astounding speed. Most of them were asking about the latest rumor- how Edward and I secretly married in Jamaica. Of course most of these rumors were false, reporters felt like printing things before getting the facts.

One of the voices rang above the others. "Give her a kiss!"

A wicked smile came upon Edward's face and before I could say I word in protest, he had swept me up in my arms and planted a kiss upon my lips. With this little show of affection the noise of the crowd increased ten-fold.

Seeing my face blush a brilliant maroon, he rushed me into the building to save me from further embarrassment.

When he finally let me down out of the crowd's sight I gave him a quick scolding only to be interrupted by the rest of the Cullen family.

The Cullen's had become my second family practically. When we had gotten together he had given me this long speech about how he couldn't bear to see me leave again. So, to Edward's delight, I had stayed up in Rome with his family getting privately tutored while he finished his movie.

I gave each of the Cullen's a warm greeting and we all went of together to find good seats. As we passed I noticed Anna surrounded by other famous girl stars, she must have been somewhat of a leader to them. She gave me a large glare and soon all the other girls turned around to glare at me.

Just for a few laughs I decided to fake some enthusiasm. "Anna! Oh dear, it is so lovely to see you again!" I ran up and gave her a hug.

Surprised beyond shock she could only just stare at me with her mouth hanging open at an odd angle. Smirking, I went back over to where the Cullen's were. Edward raised an eyebrow in amusement with me but Emmett came over and gave me a high five. "That's my girl, you show them whose boss!" He encouraged.

Edward gave Emmett a quick scowl before possessively enfolding his arms around me. "She is not your girl!"

Emmett backed up from the look on Edward's face. "I'm just joking little bro, Bella's like another sis. Besides I have Rosalie, who is way hotter." At my offended look he kept talking. "But I'm sure you look great in the eyes of little Eddie, you know."

Edward, quite annoyed now frowned deeply at the nickname and led me over to the seats so he would no longer have to talk to Emmett for now.

We all sat down and waited for the award ceremony to begin.

Through the entire thing, Edward had to go up and collect a ton of awards. I mean, I would just start to snuggle into him, before he would have to go on stage and get another award, the boy's to popular for his own good.

"And now, the award for the best on screen kiss is awarded to," the announcer paused here to open the envelope. "Anna Montennie and Edward Cullen in their newest movie Beauty and the Beast! Come up here you two!"

I sat back sullenly as Edward went to get an award for kissing another girl on the TV screen well, I hated this award! Once they were both on stage the announcer started talking again.

"Do you guys think that you can redo that scene just for us? The cameras will love it…"

Anna took the microphone from him. "Of course we will! I would jump at another kiss from Edward Cullen, that man sure can kiss!" The females in the audience screamed their appreciation.

Edward looked a bit taken aback on stage and he nervously shuffled his feet. I narrowed my eyes. If he even though about it…

Edward took the microphone from Anna and looked at her apologetically. "Actually, I can't. I have the best woman in the world waiting for me down in the audience, and I would never do that to her."

The females in the audience just fell more in love with him after that statement. I smile crossed my face at the thought of what he said, how did I turn out to be so lucky?

Anna, on the other hand, looked mad. She crossed his hands over her chest and started at Edward. "What does Bella have that I don't, Edward? I love you yet you ignore me!" She yelled at him. She grabbed him by his tuxedo and started pulling him towards him.

I was completely fed up with her. Clearly Edward liked me. Heck, we might even get married this year. She needs to learn that we are an official couple. "Stop." I said, and stood up, my voice ringing with perfect clarity. "Get your grimy hands off him, Anna!" Everyone was silent and turning to look at me then back at her.

Edward pushed her away slowly on stage and came back to me, taking me up in his strong arms.

Anna screamed out in fury. "No! I tried everything to keep you guys apart. I even hired someone to make Bella stay away! I was the one who convinced my father to enroll you as the leading male roll just so I could kiss you!" She stomped her foot down, enraged, and through her award down, and stomped off the stage out of the room.

Everyone was deathly silent before the announcer cut back in. "Well, that was quite interesting but we still have more awards to give away so I guess we should continue."

I gave Edward's hand a light squeeze to show that everything was fine, and he gave me his famous crooked smile.

When the show was over I was extremely glad. We were heading out of the awards room when we saw Jacob Black, sitting there, talking about his role in the movie Beauty and the Beast. As soon as he saw us he waved us over and gave to each of us an invitation.

Here are some important dates- poll closes Friday, and the next update is Saturday. Thanks!
