It had been nearly a month since our first date. I honestly didn't think things could get any better. We had made it official about a week ago…
"Hey Bella?" Edward had wondered into the kitchen of his house, where I had been spending the majority of my summer. The six of us, me, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and of course Edward, had been spending all of our time hanging out by Edward's pool or watching movies at my house. It had been the best summer I could remember.
"Yeah? What's up?" I asked, smiling. I reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck. He looked nervous, but that didn't stop him from wrapping his arms around my waist in return, looking down at me with the most beautiful smile on his face.
"Uh… I just wanted to talk to you."
"Okay. Let's hear it." I said, trying to reassure him..
"Well, I know its kind of fast, but honestly I don't think I can wait anymore. It's just that I really like you and … well… I just wanted to ask…" Flustered, he hung his head and sighed. I settled my hand on his cheek, forcing him to look at me.
"Hey, whatever you want to ask is fine… I mean, you don't have to be nervous, Edward. You know how much I like you to." That caused him to smile.
"Bella, would you make me the happiest guy in the world, and grant me the honor of being able to call you my girlfriend?" He looked into my eyes the whole time he said it.
"Edward…" A slow smile breaking onto my face. "Of course! Of course, I would love to be your girlfriend!"
He pulled me tighter into his arms and spun me. After, he set me down, seeming content just to look at me. He eyes were so clear, and seemed so bright and happy. I loved that I could tell all this from a glance. I loved knowing that I could feel confident in us, knowing, just by looking into his eyes, that he felt the same way about me, as I felt about him.
He started leaning closer, and I raised onto my tip toes in response. He gently kissed me, as if I was a fragile feather. And it was perfect.
I smile at the memory. I honestly couldn't even believe what was happening. In just a couple short months my life had changed so much. I was falling for Edward so fast that I didn't know what to do with myself. I was loving every second of it.
I knew in my mind that the summer would eventually end, and that made me sad, but at the same time it was also exciting. No, I wouldn't get to spend every waking moment with my best friends, with my boyfriend, but we would also be starting a whole new adventure together, and I loved the idea of that.
Short, I know! But you guys deserved something. Sorry for being a terrible updater. Ill try and update again soon. Much love and happy holidays!
