Bonus
I was speechless and tears were running down my face. He opened the box that he had pulled out of his pocket. A beautiful ring was embedded in it. I found my voice.
'Yes, Edward. Yes, of course, I'll marry you!' I whispered. He smiled and slipped the ring onto my finger. He placed his arms around my waist and I placed mine around his neck and he kissed me.
After what seemed like forever we pulled apart.
'I love you so much,' I whispered rubbing my nose against his.
'I love you so much too, my beautiful fiancée,' Edward replied kissing my lips lightly.
He pulled me back over to the elevator, excitedly.
'Last part of the night is still to come but Alice and Rose want a word,' Edward said happily, handing me his cell.
'Hello,' I said holding the cell to my ear.
'BELLAAAAA!!' both of them screamed.
'Yes,' I said sounding nonchalant. Then I couldn't hold it any longer. 'I'M ENGAGEDDDDDDDD!!' I screeched into the phone.
'YOU'RE ENGAGEDDDDDDDDD!!' they screamed again.
'Yes and I need to go enjoy the time with my fiancé.' I told them.
'Ok, but you're telling us everything when you get back,' Rose ordered.
'If I come back, we might just elope, right now,' I interjected.
'Bella! You wouldn't dare. You know how much I want to organise your wedding to my brother! Please!' Alice begged.
'I'll think about it, love you all girls tell you boyfriends I said, hi!' I put loads of emphasis on the word 'boyfriends'. Both the girls squealed and said goodbye.
We reached the limo again, I showed the man who had given the champagne my ring and he said it suited me and that Edward was lucky to have me. I gave him a kiss of the cheek for being so polite, kind and good.
'Where to?' I asked Edward excitedly jumping up and down on back seat. He clamped his arms around my waist and kissed the life out of me, pressing me back against the seat. We pulled apart panting like anything.
'A hotel,' Edward said, I looked at him quizzically.
'You asked where we were going. We're going to a particular hotel,' he said.
'I'd completely forgotten, I'd asked anything!' I giggled. Edward kissed down from my lips, down my neck, across my collarbone and then he stopped and kissed me on the lips again. I couldn't help but squeal in delight!
We pulled up outside a very posh looking hotel and Edward pulled me out. He dragged me inside and spoke very fast French to the receptionist who handed him the key quickly. Edward pulled me over to the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor. We made up for lost time by kissing heatedly in the elevator. I could feel the passion even when we stopped for air. The doors pinged open and Edward took my hand and pulled me out to stand in front of one set of doors.
'Where's the rest of the rooms?' I asked, the most tiny detail being asked about.
'There's only one room up here,' Edward said happily holding up the keys and jangling them. He unlocked the door but didn't open it.
'Alice packed a bag for you, which she brought here already,' he said seriously. I nodded and pushed the door open.
If my jaw wasn't hanging before, it had reached the floor now. The room must have been the honeymoon suite because the room was top quality and top of the range modern accessories and furniture. Edward chuckled and put an arm around my waist towing me towards the bedroom where Alice had left my bag, evidently.
'Swimwear, then meet me by the bamboo curtained doors,' Edward ordered, I nodded confused. He flitted out of the room to get changed himself. I rifled through the bag Alice had packed for me and found what I think was meant to be swimwear but I wasn't going to be downhearted with her choice now I was engaged.
It was a dark blue bikini, matching my dress, with silver sparkles around the neckline again. It was a tie up and I couldn't reach the tie to fasten it up. I tied the sides of the bikini bottoms but still failed to reach the back of my bikini top. Alice must have planned this, the little devil. She wanted me to get some wit her brother, the little minx was very sick minded. I sighed and tied my hair up in a messy but stylish bun with little locks that hung by the side. I held my bikini top together as good as I could and left the room.
Edward was standing by the doors when I appeared. His eyes brightened when he saw me. I smiled at him but sighed when I remembered my bikini top.
'Edward, your sister is a minx and I will kill her, ok?' I told him.
'I agree but what about this particular time?' he asked me.
'Please tie my bikini top up,' I whispered, biting my lip. He grinned and nodded. I turned around and I felt his gentle hands sweep around the sides of my waist making me shiver in pleasure.
'My mistake,' he whispered, barely audible but huskily. He tied it up agonisingly slowly trying to tease me as much as possible. He kissed the nape of my neck when he finished. I spun around and kissed his bare chest. I heard a low but quiet growl resonate in his chest.
'Remind me to thank Alice,' he whispered. I grinned and opened the bamboo curtains to see Paris at night twinkling brightly.
'It's beautiful,' I breathed.
'I know something more beautiful,' Edward sang as he pulled the doors open.
'Oh yes and what is that?' I asked leaning against his chest and raising my foot up behind me.
'You,' he whispered kissing the tip of my nose. I smiled and turned back to the view.
Outside was a little garden, I walked out and jumped down the steps. There was a little bubbling Jacuzzi with a couple of champagne glasses resting by the side of it.
'Edward,' I moaned. 'This is too much, how much did you spend on me?'
'Fine, I admit it…more than enough but I wanted it to be perfect,' he admitted. I smiled and kissed him before climbing in and picking up a glass of champagne. He got in after me and picked up the other glass. He raised it up.
'A toast?' I asked. Edward smirked at me.
'To a long life…together!' he said.
'Yes…to a long life together,' I agreed, the glasses clinking together and we both sipped the champagne.
'Where did you get the idea for all of this?' I asked Edward.
'Alice told me about your dream proposal, so I tweaked it a bit to suit our surroundings and came up with this, after calling in a few favours from a few people,' he told me. I smiled.
'It was absolutely perfect except one detail,' I teased him. His face fell. I almost snapped.
'The man I'm set to marry, he's better than perfect,' I whispered, placing my almost empty glass on the side. Edward smirked and then placed his glass on the side too. He leant in and so did I.
We were about to kiss when fireworks exploded from behind us. I jumped and so did Edward. We looked to the fireworks exploding around the Eiffel Tower.
'Alice,' Edward whispered in disbelief.
'This is Alice's doing?' I asked shocked.
'Yes, she said that she and Rose had a gift for us and wanted to surprise us. I guess that was true,' he laughed.
'What will we do with them?' I joked, laughing with my fiancé. We watched the fireworks with entwined hands. They lasted about fifteen minutes.
'I owe Alice a lot,' Edward whispered.
'Same,' I replied. We were a bit giggly from the champagne and started to laugh together again.
After a nice long soak and a bit of kissing we got out of the Jacuzzi. Edward kissed me and swung me up into his arms kissing me with more passion than ever before. I returned it eagerly. He threw me onto the bed in my wet swimwear not caring that I was getting the bed wet.
'Wait…the door sign,' Edward said, he ran over to the front door and opened it. He picked up the 'Do Not Disturb' sign and placed it on the door handle. He then locked the door again and came back to the bedroom.
And we consummated our engagement!
Heeeheeee. That was fun to write. Next is the absolute last chapter.
No sequel. Sorry to those who asked for it but I like the ending.
The EPILOGUE IS NEXT AND LAST.
I love you and will miss you like crazy.
Please review.
