I walked up to him, escorted by Jasper and Emmett. I couldn't stop a colossal grin from spreading across my face and I looked down to stop my cheeks from burning crimson.

As I glanced up for one look, I couldn't help my feet from speeding up. When he was only a few metres away, I broke into a steady run and threw myself into his arms. He kissed the top of my head and I gazed into his eyes. They were sparkling as my favourite crooked smile graced his lips. I leaned up and kissed him on the lips before stepping back, "You look beautiful," he gasped as he spun me round. The blush I had tried to avoid tinted my cheeks but I kept the awful smile on my face.

"And you look dashing," I laughed, almost wanting to spin him round too. He pulled at the tuxedo jacket jokingly.

"You like it?"

"Most definitely."

I heard the two men leaving behind me and I swivelled on my heels to wave my appreciation to them. They didn't see me and I was about to turn back when I felt cupped hands cover my eyes gently, "Don't look." Edward's voice was a whisper right against my ear and I felt a shiver run down my spine.

I followed where he led and when the pressure on my face was relieved, I opened my eyes. At first, the room was too dark to see properly in. When I became accustomed to the dim light, I gasped. "Ho ... Wh ... See ..." The words wouldn't form into intellegable sentences so instead I leaned into Edward's strong body. He took me by the hand and pulled me to the centre of the room. There, underneath the dimmed lighting, stood a medium sized oak table with two beautifully carved chairs at either end. He took me to the nearest one and pulled it out for me. I sat down politely and he went to sit at his own side of the table. A waiter hurried along, in formal attire, to place our orders. I asked for mushroom ravioli - something familiar, and strangely enough, what I had ordered on my first date with Edward. Edward ordered something expensive and foreign sounding. The waiter nodded, lit a candle in the middle of the table, then scurried off.

"How romantic - a candlelit dinner for two." I smiled, watching the flame beam dark shadows on his perfect features. "Thank you."

He shook his head, reaching over to cradle my hands in his. "No thank you Bella for coming. I have to say I was surprised you didn't suspect anything when Alice and Rose basically pounced on you to dress you up."

"I have to admit, I thought we were going to some sort of dance. Believe me - I wouldn't have forgiven you then! And I did feel a lot like some Barbie doll now that you mention it."

He laughed. "I'm not that mean ... Well, they haven't changed their ways and I doubt they ever will."

"Agreed," I smirked.

We had barely finished our conversation when the waiter reappeared, the plates in his hands. "One mushroom ravioli for the lady ..."

"Thanks," I replied as he placed the dish in front of me, before going to the opposite side and giving Edward his.

"Enjoy your meals," he said with a forced smile and a flourish of his hand. He left us to eat our dinner in peace. I pierced a piece of the pasta with my given fork and put it in my mouth.

"Mine's delicious," I said after I had chewed and swallowed.

"Same here."

The rest of the meal passed in nearly complete silence with sometimes the odd smile and holding of hands.

"That was really, really good," I thanked the waiter as he cleaned up our plates. He smiled the same false smile again.

"I'll give your compliments to the chef." He raced off, exchanging knowing glances in Edward's direction. When he had completely disappeared, a stillness crept around the room. I could hear Edward clearing his throat.

"Bella, you know that I have, and always will, love you more than anything ... I've been meaning to ask you for some time now."

I watched in complete astounded silence as he slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out a dark navy, velvet box.

"Isabella Swan," he began as he opened the lid and got down on one knee beside me. "Will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?"

Bet you weren't expecting that!

Ooh, what's she going to say?
