Chapter 12: Why I Love You

Edward raced me back to his house and into his Volvo, never letting go of me except to get in his car. I held on to his hand with my dear life, afraid I might lose him again. Oh how I loved him. I loved him with all my heart. He was driving at 120 and every once in a while, I caught him stealing a glance at him. When his head turned back, I would smile.

I stared out the window as the scene changed. It went from the green of Forks, to the shining of snow in... Alaska? Why was Edward taking me to Alaska? What did he have planned now? I looked at him to find that he was already gazing at me. I smiled and he flashed a crooked grin that made my heart melt. He turned his stare back to the road, but I continued to watch and admire his beauty. "Edward?" he hmm-ed, "Where are we going?"

He smiled and rubbed circles on the back of my hand, "You'll see my love." I groaned, folded my arms across my chest, and turned back to the road. "I hate surprises," I muttered. Edward chuckled, "You are so adorable, Bella." he said.

The sun was rising up over the horizon. The snow reflected it's light making it a wonderful sight to see. I smiled. "This place is beautiful," I whispered. 'Just like you.' Edward thought. I turned, and gave him a kiss on his cheek, he grinned.

Two hours later, we stopped. "Close your eyes Bella," Edward instructed. I groaned, but did as I was told. I felt the car start again and after five more minutes of driving at Edward's speed, we stopped. The door clicked open and Edward helped me out, my eyes still closed. We took a few steps then he said, "Open your eyes." I did, and if I could, I would have fainted.

I was standing on pavement driveway, in front of me was a house. No, a mansion!!! It was stone with white barriers and above the door was the balcony with white barriers as well. The walkway had flowers and fountains going up it. The mansion was only two stories but it had a lot of land. I turned to my left and saw the driveway was in a circle with a garden in the middle. We had entered through black iron gates. My mouth hung open, I was too lost for words. I felt Edward's cold arms encircled me and he whispered in my ear, "Welcome home, Bella."

I spun in his arms and slapped his shoulder, but lightly. "You got me a house!" I protested. He chuckled, "I got us a house." he corrected. "Happy engagement!" he exclaimed. I laughed, he was so, Edward. "Care to see inside?" he asked. I nodded.

He moved so one arm was around my waist as he led me up the walkway. When we reached the door, he took a gold out of his pocket, and unlocked the house. We stepped inside and I smiled hugely. There was a marble staircase in front of the door and a chandelier above us. Next to us, was the living room. I was painted maroon with yellow pillows, maroon pillows, wood cabinets, wood trim, a glass table, and a flat screen TV (curtsy of Emmett no doubt). We toured the rest of the house. Five bedrooms (for when the family visits), seven bathrooms (one for each bedroom and two others), a dining room, a kitchen, a living room, and an entertainment room. Edward's prized piano was in the dining room.

All my clothes were already here, my new clothes that is. Alice had brought them. All in all, the house was the most amazing place I've ever been in. What made it better, I got to share it with Edward. I fell back on the couch after touring the entire house and the backyard. In moments, I felt a cool person holding me. I looked up and gave Edward a kiss on the cheek.

He grinned down at me and kissed my forehead. "Like the house?" he asked against my skin. "Love the house," I assured.

We laid there for I don't know long until Edward broke the silence. "Bella, can I ask you something?"

"Of course,"

"Why?" he questioned, "why give up your life for a monster like me?"

I took his chin in my hands and said, "Edward, you're not a monster. Monsters can't love. Monsters don't save people, like you saved me. And I gave up my life because I love you so very much and I can't watch you die knowing that I could have saved you. I want you to live Edward, I don't want you to die for me, a poor human that gave up her life."

"Bella," he said sternly, "I don't want you to die, I want you to live. Live for me. And you are not just some poor human that gave up her life. You are an angel, a beauty, I don't even deserve. How I got you, I have no clue. I don't even why you can a beast like me."

"Edward, you are kind, loving, smart, perfect, wonderful in every way, handsome, you saved my life, and you love me. That is why I love you, Edward Anthony Mason Cullen. What I don't understand is how you love someone as plain as me." he sighed, but was smiling. I kissed his nose and he chuckled.

"Bella, you are not plain. You fell in love with a vampire," he pointed out, I had to laugh. "But I mostly love you because you are beautiful, amazing, adorable, sweet, and you made me the most happy person I have ever met. That is why I love you, my beauty."

"And you are my beast," I responded.

"Tale as old as time

true as it can be.

Barely even friends

then somebody bends

unexpectedly." Edward sang. I smiled and laughed lightly. So Edward, to sing in that velvety voice of his. I started to sing back.

"Just a little change

small to say the least.

Both a little scared

neither one prepared." We both sang together.

"Beauty and the Beast." Edward stood up and pulled me with him. We started to dance together, as he sang.

"Ever just the same,

ever the surprise."

"Ever as before

ever just as sure."

"Beauty and the Beast." I smiled and laid my head against his chest. He continued to sing.

"Tale as old as time

time as old as song.

Bittersweet and strange

finding you can change,

learning you were wrong."

"Certain as the sun

rising in the east.

Tale as old as time

song as old as rhyme."

"Beauty and the Beast..." we finished together, I continued to smile as I looked up at him and we repeated the last line. "Beauty and the Beast." Then, his lips were on mine. His hands ran up and down my side, holding me close. My lips parted and he made entrance, I was lost in his touch, as always. He picked me up and carried me to our bedroom, bursting the door open, never breaking contact.

We both laid down on the bed, he was on top of m. His hands ran up my back, and undid the tie of the halter-top dress, that was now ruined. He broke our kiss for moments, just to say, "I love you Bella, very, very much." I smirked, "I love you too, Edward." He grinned too. Then, we made love.
