Bad to the Bones

Chapter 18

Five years later…

That day was the begging of a hard time. Edward had told me to look for another love, but there just wasn't another. We went through everything together, we bonded. At least that was what I thought, of course I knew that he needed time to become himself again but I didn't expect him to take five years. To be honest I didn't know anything anymore. Sometimes I had the idea that Edward didn't want me anymore, he was always surrounded by a lot of woman. But I shouldn't think like that he made that promise five years ago.

"Today we have Edward Mason, the CEO of Mason Inc, at our show. Of course you all know him, the most wanted man in whole America. Give him a big welcome, Edward Mason!" Edward came to walk on the stage, Tara Blanks got a blush on her cheeks.

"It is really great that you are here Edward." He grinned and smiled at her.

"It is great to be here."

"So, how are you?" Edward started to laugh.

"I am fine, though is this a poser?" Now they both started to laugh.

"You are a fast learner. I am just curious if you are single or not, I thought we would be a good couple."Tara said seductively, looking directly into his eyes.

"I am sure we would be a great couple but at the moment I want to focus on my work. Mason Inc, my father's company, is at the moment my first priority. For the first time I really have the feeling that I am connecting with him, at least somehow."

"I understand. At the moment you are busy with tacking over a studio I heard."

"That is true, I love music and wanted to do something with it."

I took the remote and turned off the television. It was still hard of me to see Edward; he looked a lot better than when I saw him for the last time. Sitting sad and broken at the end of my bed. All the emotions from the interview arose and hit me in the face. I just needed to get away; I took my stuff and left the house.

My life went pretty well, it was just empty. I went to Dartmouth and just graduated in medicine and was now working as an assistant in the hospital. Mostly I made sure that the people who were lying in the hospital got there medicine. So now and then I still saw Carlisle Cullen, he always told me how Edward was. Out of the blue they reconnected; he told me that they saw Edward once in two weeks. It felt good that Edward was get better fast.

I walked into a coffee shop and I ordered a black coffee, lately I was drinking a lot of coffee, it seemed to get me going through a whole day. Slowly I nipped on the hot liquid while reading a book. I had seen Edward reading it once and now I have read it more than ten times already, Wuthering Heights.

"Bella!" I looked up; right there in front of my house was sitting Edward Mason. At the exact same time I dropped my keys, book and coffee. My body was frozen, I couldn't make a move. This was impossible, he had forgotten about me. Slowly he got up and started to walk to me, every step he took was with precision. It was clear that he didn't want to scare me of. He stood still in front of me waiting until I would do something. Then out of nowhere I hit him in the face, he looked hurt and confused.

"That is for letting me wait for so long, you asshole." Almost directly I threw myself in his arms and hugged him tightly.

"I missed you baby girl." He hugged me tightly.

"So did I." I laughed a happy and carefree laugh, Edward had come back. From now on I wasn't going to let him ever go away.

Six weeks later…

A few weeks went by and Edward visited me often. We connected really well and I met a totally different side of Edward. He wasn't hard and cold anymore. Though he was still a closed book he tried to tell me everything.

"Will you go to dinner with me?" I answered his question by nodding. We got in his car; he had still the same, and drove of the Bella Italia. It felt good to be here again; when he was gone I didn't dare to come here.

"It is a great evening don't you think?" I asked him.

"It is." He grabbed my hand and started into my eyes, they were light green and there was a sparkle what made me grin like an idiot.

"I took you here to ask you something, Bella."

"What is that?" He got down on one knee and looked into my eyes. Automatically my hand got in front of me mouth. Out of his pocket his got a little box and opened it.

"It was my mother's." It was beautiful oval with a lot of diamonds.

"Isabella Swan, I promise to love you every moment forever. Would you do me the extraordinary honor of marrying me?"

"Yes." I whispered and we ended to moment my kissing each other.

This won't be the last chapter, there will still be a epiloque. Xx Please review!
