Edward started the car and we took off to Seattle to the airport it was a 4 hour drive so we had plenty of time to talk. I took a deep breath and started.

"Edward" he looked at me.

"Bella" he said with a smirk.

"Why didn't you come after me?" Jackpot the smirk disappeared and he moved uncomfortably in his seat. He cleared his throat and started to explain.

"Bella I am 2 years older than you. You were 13 and I was 15 when we started seeing each other. And I was 18 when I left for college and you were 16."

"Yes and know you are 25 and I am 23 when you finished college in Seattle at 22 you dumped me two weeks later, did I get that right so far?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Bella please let me explain." he said.

"Sure why the fuck not it's not like I have been waiting over 3 years to hear your pathetic excuse." I snapped.

"Fucking hell Bella let me explain!" he snapped back.

I motioned for him to continue.

"I was 22 you were 20. One year into your college degree you already had 2 books published and dropped out. So you could go on your publicity and launch tour. I couldn't go with you and I felt like I was holding you back. You would call me crying because you missed me and were spending so much time in LA for your career I thought you were going to give up and I didn't want you to do that."

"So I spoke to Charlie and your brothers and we decided that I needed to let you go so that you could live your dream. That is why I told you I didn't want to see you anymore because writing is your life. All I wanted was for you to be happy Bella."

"After listening to what you said to Jazz the other night at the bar I know now that was never the case and I am truly sorry Bella. I love you and have always loved you there was never a day that went by that I didn't think about you or I wanted to jump on a plane and tell you I lied to you. When I had finally had enough and couldn't bear to be without you, Charlie told me you had met a guy and had moved on with him. Bella I was shattered. I lost it, I drank, I got into fights at the bar and started to fuck up so badly that mom and dad did an intervention on me with the whole family. (Mom, Dad, Alice, Charlie, Em, Jazz and Rose)" he chuckled.

"Then yesterday I get a call from Alice telling me you were home for good minus your boyfriend. I quickly rang the house and when I heard your voice Bella I thought it was a dream but you hung up on me and I called back to be told by Emmett that you hung up and didn't want to talk to me. I jumped straight into my car and hurried to your house so I could try to sort this whole fucked up mess out and make you understand that I did it for you only because I love you."

"When I got there I was told you took off. I panicked I thought you were going to run from me and I would never get a chance to tell you I love you. We all sat around waiting for you to come home. Jazz went to work and 2 hours later we get a call that you just walked in the bar. Emmett and I walked to the bar and we get there and you were livid to say the least. The things you said Bella broke me, I didn't think I could break anymore but I broke into a million pieces all I wanted to do was to hold you and tell you I love you over and over again."

"When we finally got you in the car and you passed out I was just thankful you were safe. When we got back to the house I carried you inside and put you to bed. After a little while we heard a thump from up stairs and I ran to your room and found you on the floor sobbing I picked you up and held you and tried to tell you everything would be ok. You freaked out when I called you love and told me never to call you that and to leave you never wanted to see me again as long as you lived."

"I got up and walked out the door a shattered man. I went to the bar and got shitfaced and Jazz called my dad to come and get me. I flipped out on mom and dad and told them it was their entire fault that I lost my one true love. I smashed my piano and guitar and everything else in the music room. When there was nothing else to smash I fell in a heap and cried like a girl. My mom was beside her self and your brothers come over and carried me to bed and told me to pull my shit together."

"I knew you would never answer your phone or talk to me, that's why my mom stepped in plus she was sick of my shit. When I heard mum say you were at our dream house I lost it again, I couldn't think straight. When I asked you not to buy it, it was because I wanted to sort our shit out and buy it together like we always dreamed but you were being stubborn and did it any way. But fucking hell Bella the meadow was the last straw. I had the money for that but I wanted to do it together. When I got to Uncle Aro's and saw you handing the check over my heart shattered. I knew then I had lost you and I had made you into this bitch that now stood before me in the office. When you left Uncle Aro yelled and hollered at me. I knew my Bella was still there inside you. I still can't believe you put the title in our names. Uncle Aro told me you wanted it in just mine but he said he did it in both. He also said if I didn't chase you and sort things out with you he would kill me. And now here we are on our way to LA trying to sort our shit out."

I just looked at him and slowly turned my head trying to process everything Edward just told me.

"Bella can I ask you something?" he said.

I just nodded; I didn't trust myself to say anything to him at that moment.

"Do you love Jake?" he asked.

"I thought that over time I could learn to love him but no I never loved him, I gave my heart away when I was 13 Edward my whole heart. When I walked in on Jake and Nessie yesterday I wasn't really mad at him. I could never love him the way he wanted and I always wanted you to be my first and always on our wedding night like we always promised. I always compared him to you and it just never added up when I heard you moved on I lost it." I whispered.

"I never moved on Bella, I went on a date with Tanya to get everyone off my back." he said.

"Did you have sex with anyone Edward?" I asked.

"No Bella I couldn't and I never wanted to and like you I gave my whole heart away when I was 15." He said.

We talked for hours about a lot of things we needed to air out and get off our chests. I felt so much lighter, I actually felt whole again.

"Bella, love we need to get in the airport and catch our flight" he said.

He winced at his mistake but I didn't care that he called me love. After hearing everything I truly knew Edward loved me. We got out handed the keys to a valet to have the car put into storage while we were away, loaded our luggage on a trolley and walked in to catch our flight. Edward kept looking at me probably waiting for me to run. I was so tired the last 36 hours have been a rollercoaster. We checked our luggage and boarded our plane for Los Angeles.

We sat in first class and as the plane took off I felt a great deal of weight lift off my shoulders, the last 3 years were nothing, I had Edward he still loved me and always did but typical of Edward he did what he thought was best for me but we both learned it never was the case and we just hurt each other. Edward needed to learn to make decisions with me not for me, but we would have time to work on that.

"Edward I really only want to have this conversation once so is there anything else you want to know because once it is done and over I'm not going to talk about it again and I want it left in the past never to scratch the surface again."

"Do you still love me Bella, after everything that has happened?" he asked.

"Yes with all my heart" I answered him.

Tears started falling down my cheeks and before I could wipe them Edward had lifted the divider in the seat and pulled me into his lap and was cuddling me. The stewardess asked if I was ok and Edward just asked her for a blanket and some water. She came back and gave him the blanket which he put over us and turned the lights off overhead and told me he loved me over and over again and how he would never lose me again.

I got up off Edward's lap, taking my carryon bag and went to the bathroom, splashed water on my face, cleaned myself up a bit and brushed my teeth. When I walked out and saw Edward sitting there he looked at me and smiled. I walked up the aisle and took my seat.

"Bella" he said. I looked at him.

"Is everything ok with us, I mean is there anything else we need to talk about?" he asked.

"Yeah there is just one more thing Edward." I said.

Panic flashed across his face.

"What is it Bella?" he asked.

"Kiss me" and he did.

He leaned over and brushed his lips on mine. He ran his tongue along the bottom of my lip and I granted him access. Our tongues danced with each other. Edward kissed down to the hollow of my neck and I moaned. He moved back up to my lips. I looked at him and smiled against his lips and whispered, "I love you Edward Anthony Cullen."

"I love you too Isabella Marie Swan."

He started fidgeting under the blankets trying to get something he dropped. Oh fuck, no he wasn't. Yes, yes he was on one knee, "Bella, you know no matter how long we were apart I never stopped loving you, you are my life, my other half and my soul mate I never want to spend another day apart from you. Bella will you marry me?"

"Yes" I leaned forward and kissed him with all the passion I had for him. Without Edward I was never whole, with him I was whole. He got up in the seat and placed the ring on my finger and kissed me again and we told each other we loved each other. I was the happiest I had been in over 3 years and by the look on Edwards face he was too.

"Bella Love?"

"Yes Edward?"

"How do you feel about Vegas Love?"

"Are you serious?"

"24 hours and you can be Isabella Cullen"

"What about our family Edward?"

"We could always go to Hawaii and fly everyone in."

"That sounds better." I said.

"Umm Edward I don't like to talk about this sort of stuff but in the past 5 years since my books - I umm well, I have a lot of money Edward and I also own a restaurant in LA called Bella Italiana, Twilight Bar, Twilight Motor Mechanics & Body Shop, Twilight Construction and Twilight Boutique in Forks, the dream house in Forks, one in LA, a ranch in Texas and a villa in Tuscany and our meadow." I looked at him.

"Love, are you telling me you own all the businesses that our family work at?" he said.

"No Edward, we own them." I said.

"Bella how much money do you have?"

"Besides everything I own that I have mentioned I have roughly 2.8 Billion dollars in the bank last time I looked."

"Bella when did you look last at your balance?"

"6 months ago"

"Fuck Bella I can't believe this."

"Who knows about all of this Bella?" he asked.

"You know about all of it but Mom knows I have a few billion in the banks I told her today." I said.

"How Bella, fuck how did you get so much in 5 years?"

"I've published 7 books, that are world wide best sellers and 4 have been made into movies. The other 3 I'm in negotiations for the movie rights and I have 1 book ready for release in a few months that they are calling dibs on the movie rights too. I've written a few movie scripts and I never spent a cent of my money except to buy the businesses and I invested well over the 5 years. I worked at the restaurant to make ends meet and no one knew I owned it not even the manager."

"Bella, are you telling me you are Twilight Inc., which donates $500,000 to the hospital in Forks every year?"

"Yea, the one and only." I said chuckling.

"Fuck Bella I'm so proud of you, small town girl moved to LA and made it big."

"Yes Edward but only you know that. No one else does and I plan on keeping it that way. OK"

"Fuck my fiancé is a billionaire." he laughed.

"Twilight Inc. Bella I should have known, the meadow is on Old Twilight Road everyone in Forks thinks it is a rich old man with money to throw away. Not a sexy author with a good fucking business brain." he chuckled.

"Edward, Mom wants me to sit down with her when we get home. What are we going to do?" I asked.

"I don't know love it is your money and your company." he said.

"Um Edward it is our company and our money." I said.

Edward looked at me as if I was stupid.

"What's mine is yours and what yours is mine now Mr. Cullen."

"Bella how much money did you put on the card for mum for all the renovations and interior design?" he asked.

"Um Edward, do we have to talk about this now?"

"Yes love we do." he said.

"Six million Edward, why do you ask?" I said.

"Fuck Bella are you serious?"

"Yea"

"Mom knows how much is on that card?" I just shrugged.

He cuddled me and kissed my head and said sorry I just can't believe it. Then we slowly drifted off to sleep in each other arms. I felt like I had just fallen asleep when we were being awakened to put our seat belts on and prepare for landing.

We exited the plane, collected our bags and went to collect my car. When my Audi R8 Spider turned up Edward looked at me.

"Nice car love" he said.

"I also have a BMW 750, two Z4's, Z3 and Ducati" I said.

"What the fuck love a Ducati, I would love to see you on that?" he said.

"Maybe you will." I laughed.

We finished loading my car with our luggage and we headed off to my house. I drove because it would be easier; I knew where we were going. We were both tired and long overdue for bed.

"Edward when we get to the house can we just eat and then sleep please, I'm so tired and we can worry about everything tomorrow?"

"I was hoping you would say that." he laughed.

20 minutes later I pulled up to the security gate of the community I lived in.

"Hey Ms Swan." Paul the guard said.

"Hey Paul, listen I want Jake taken off my list and not let in and you need to add Edward Cullen to it. I don't want any trouble with Jake." I said.

"No worries Ms Swan all done. Have a lovely evening." he said.

I hopped back in the car, smiled at Edward and took off to the house. Pulled up to the gate and put in my access code to enter the drive, pressed the button for the garage and parked my car. We grabbed our bags and headed inside; I turned the alarm off and threw my keys on the bench. I flicked on a few lights and went to the fridge and grabbed a beer for Edward and me.

"Edward I'm going to call for take out what do you feel like?"

"Pizza will be fine love" he said walking over to kiss me. I called and ordered the pizza and plopped on the couch next to Edward. He pulled me into his side and cuddled me.

"Edward you have been really quite since we got here are you ok?"

"Yeah love it has been a hell of a few days, I'm just tired." he said.

"You're not going to change your mind are you?" I said.

"Never, I love you Bella." he said.

The pizza arrived and we ate and chatted about what we were going to do tomorrow. We headed upstairs got changed in our PJ's and crawled into bed. Edward cuddled into me and hummed me to sleep.
