For The Love of Chronic Pt 2

The night of their four month anniversary, Bella felt like a moron. She didn't know why she was counting every month like she was, but she just felt so much for Edward that she wanted to mark every single milestone she could. They stayed in at his place that night and she hadn't meant to but when her orgasm hit her, she yelled out that she loved him. The world stopped and the room spun. Did she actually say that out loud? She covered her mouth with both of her hands and tears pricked at her eyes. What was he going to say? She knew that it was true, she loved him with every single bit of her, every atom that made up her very being loved him. She had felt that his soul made hers whole. What made it worse was that Edward had completely stopped moving. She looked at the ceiling, the corners of the room, the lamp, everywhere but at him. She didn't want to see the rejection that she knew she would feel in his eyes. She wished that she had been on top so that she could run away.

"Bella?" he whispered, "Bella, look at me please." He sat up on his knees and tugged her hands away from her mouth. He grabbed both sides of her face to try and force him to look at her, but her eyes were all over the place.

He wished she would look at him. He heard what she said, and he wanted to tell her that he loved her too. He had loved her since day one, but he knew it after the third date. He'd just been waiting to tell her for the right time. He wasn't sure what the right time was but after she said it to him, he knew that was the time.

He leaned down and kissed her lips lightly. When he lifted his face from hers, she was looking at him with tears in her eyes. "Bella, baby, I love you too. I have for a very, very long time."

Bella sniffled and the tears came more freely. She was not a crier, she didn't know what she was doing. But she had also never, ever felt as good as she did in that moment.

"I love you." She said.

"I love you too." He said. Then he kissed her passionately and while before their confessions they had been fucking, after, they were making love slowly and sweetly.

"Edward, I really just wanna sit around and get stoned." Bella whined.

"I know, but baby, I promise you'll love this surprise. Please!" Edward stuck his bottom lip out and pouted. He knew those damn puppy dog eyes worked every time.

"Ugh. Fine… Just… let me get a shower first. I smell awful."

"'Kay!" Edward was so excited and Bella really had no idea where he got the energy.

They had been painting and redecorating the living room, kitchen and dining room for two weeks and they had spent the whole first half of the day arranging and rearranging the living room until Bella was satisfied. All she wanted to do was go to their room and enjoy a nice bowl of chronic while she watched crappy TV before taking a nice, long nap.

She didn't know what Edward's deal was. She tried to remember if there were any anniversaries or birthdays going on, but she couldn't think of any at all. They had celebrated their first year together, which they decided was the date of their first date, three weeks before and Edward's birthday wasn't for another month.

Bella decided to just go with it while she dried her hair. Whatever he had going on was probably going to be fun and she should just enjoy it. She threw on an extra long purple, thin tank layered over a white tank and a pair of black, capri leggings. Sure, when she first wore this type of outfit she felt sort of stupid in it, but she had come to love the comfort. She walked out to the living room where Edward was lighting a joint. She went to the front door and grabbed her flip flops from the shoe rack before sitting on the new, plush sectional couch. She pushed her toes into the new, modern shag style carpeting.

"So what are we doing today Sir Smokes A-Lot?"

Edward chuckled before passing her the joint. "You'll see."

Bella exhaled. "Ugh, I hate surprises."

No one knew the truth of that statement more so than Edward. He had tried to surprise her on more than one occasion but it just did not work. It almost killed the romance multiple times. He had tried to surprise her with a hotel suite overlooking the beach the night of Emmett's wedding so that they could have an evening in a romantic place. She refused to talk to him until he told her what the surprise was. He was pretty sure the only reason she wasn't putting up a big fight this time was because of how tired she was from redecorating the house.

When he had asked her to move in the night of her graduation she was elated, but said no at first. When he asked why, her only response was "Edward, I love you, but I refuse to live in a place with ugly seventies wood paneling, black leather couches, and ugly linoleum. I'm not asking for high end here, but we have got to fix this before I can even agree to move in."

After a ton of begging, Edward got her to move in before he re-modeled anything. He was such a lazy fucker sometimes. "Is that a new shirt?" He asked.

Bella looked down at the purple tank. "Yep, do you like it?" Bella didn't really need to ask. Edward loved everything she wore. He would tell her how much he loved the way she dressed because he could still see her skin and her long brown hair and her bright brown eyes. As long as he could see her he was happy.

"I do. I love purple on you. And I have something for you. Sit tight." Edward ran into the laundry closet and Bella saw him stand on the dryer and dig in a box on the top shelf.

"What on Earth are you doing?" She cocked her eye brow and stood up with her hands on her hips, just waiting on him to fall.

"I have something for you." He yelled from the box.

"And that's your hiding place?"

"Well yeah," he yelled. His head popped out of the box and there was a small black bag in his hand. He jumped down from the dryer and grabbed her hand to take her into back to the couch. "You can't reach up there, even if you stood on the dryer."

Bella sighed. "Whatever."

"I promise, you'll love this surprise." He gave her the small velvet bag and when she didn't open it right away he got frustrated. So he pulled the small ropes and dumped the contents into her hands.

"Oh my God." She whispered. Bella touched the three purple stones reverently. "Where did you get this?"

"Um… actually, I got it a year ago today." Edward seemed bashful about it.

"Wait… are you telling me that this is the necklace I saw that day? At the festival?" Bella was shocked.

"Um, yeah."

"And you've had it all this time?"

"Yeah. I was waiting on the right time to give it to you. I mean… I never really thought any time was good, but I want you to have it. Cause I love you and all."

Edward was taken by surprise when Bella wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed all over his face.

"You are the sweetest pothead I've ever known in my entire life. I love you so much Edward."

Edward laughed before telling her that he loved her too. Half an hour later, they were at the same music festival they had gone to on their third date. The beach was crowded with people there for the music and a few times Bella could swear she saw Emmett there. He was hard to mistake, he was a big guy, easily six foot four and over two hundred pounds. You didn't often see guys that big walking around. But she had to be mistaken, Emmett and Rosalie had made the decision to live over an hour away when they found out she was pregnant. Rosalie wanted to be close to her family when she started her own little family and Emmett always gave Rosalie whatever she wanted.

Edward and Bella checked the different tents. This time she was able to buy something when she wanted, thanks to her career as the newest photographer on staff at the local newspaper. Edward had been promoted as an assistant manager at the classic car garage he was working at and Bella couldn't have been happier for him.

Eventually, Bella got hungry and Edward gladly took her to get some food before setting up the blanket they brought in Edward's backpack to eat and listen to the music. Bella was leaning back on her elbows people watching while she listened to the music when something caught her eye.

"Hey, have you seen Emmett around?"

"What? No! Definitely not, he's definitely not here, I mean… he would tell you if he was coming into town, right? No, he's not here."

Bella couldn't help but laugh at Edward's nervous ramblings and then she became very suspicious. Edward was never nervous. Eventually, the music took over her mind again and she forgot about his seemingly agitated behavior.

When the next band came onto the stage, Bella got excited. It was her favorite local band and she had come to know them personally through various articles written by the newspaper on their rising stardom. They played a few original songs and Bella was so happy that she couldn't help getting up to dance. Edward sat on the blanket and watched her with adoration. He loved Bella so much. Then he saw Emmett, Rosalie, Angela and Ben. Rosalie was huge and looked grumpy, obviously pissed about walking around the music festival in the middle of May, but Emmett looked elated. Angela was the exact contrast to Rosalie, looking thrilled to be there while happily sporting her giant baby belly as her now four year old sat on her husband's shoulders, happily playing with one of the beads in his dreads.

Then it was his cue. The song came on that Edward had been waiting for and before Bella could sit down, he stood up and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Dance with me pretty girl." He whispered into her ears. He rarely wanted to dance with Bella and she couldn't have been happier, she was always begging him to dance with her.

The song played and Edward looked up at Ryan, the band's lead singer, and waved. This was Ryan's cue. The music quieted down to just the keyboard, guitar and bass playing; it made the song softer and turned it into a ballad rather than the peppy song it was.

"Hey baby," Edward nudged her face up to his with his knuckle. "I love you so much."

Bella giggled. She had no idea what was going on, but she was thoroughly enjoying all this sweetness.

"Do you want to hear a short story?"

"Um… sure?" Now Bella was confused. Who told their girlfriend stories while they danced?

"See, once there was this boy. He was completely happy with his life. He got to work on kick ass cars and smoke the awesome chronic he grew regularly with no one to answer to. He didn't know he was missing anything in his life. And then one day…" Edward waved and Emmett and Rosalie stepped into view with Angela, Ben and Rain behind them. Angela was already crying, "This boy had a friend come over to his house. The friend brought his sister, who was the most beautiful creature the boy had ever seen in his entire life. He played a little trick so that she would be forced to call him so he could ask her out. After all, it is pretty rude to ask a girl out in front of her brother. The boy and beautiful girl talked on the phone between dates and then, on the third date, he had the most amazing night ever sleeping in the same bed with her. He knew right then and there that he loved her."

Bella was starting to cry and had stopped moving all together, though she was still in Edward's arms.

"Did you know that we are at the same place, on the same day, that the boy and girl had their third date? And did you know that on that third date, the boy fell madly in love with the girl?"

Bella shook her head.

"Bella, I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I can't imagine redecorating and rearranging my house for anyone but you. I want to have little hippie babies with you and get old and wrinkly with you and have grandbabies with you. I wanna get stoned in bed with you every night after we make love and then go to sleep in your arms." Edward bent down and got on one knee, just like tradition dictates and held out his palm where a beautiful diamond ring sat.

Bella stomped her foot before covering her mouth with her hands. This was just too damn much and he was just too damn sweet and she loved him just too damn much! She started vigorously nodding her head before he even asked the question that she now knew he wanted to ask. All she could think was Weed Selling Hottie is proposing?

"Bella Swan, I promise to decorate my house any way you want to and I promise to love you every single day of forever… will you please not let me look like an idiot here in front of all these people and marry me?"

Bella composed herself enough to kneel down with him and put her hands on either side of his face. "The only thing I needed when we met was better weed. By the third date, I knew I didn't want to be with anyone else and now… I can't imagine not spending my life with you." Bella was sure most of what she said was a garbled mess because of the tears and tiny sobs.

"So yes?" Edward asked, slightly nervous still.

"Oh yes." Bella nodded again and they kissed. Edward helped Bella up and put the ring on her finger where it glistened in the sun. She smiled up at him as he wrapped his arms around her and dipped her to kiss her with more love than he even thought he was capable of.

When he stood her back up, Bella saw her friends and brother coming closer. "You are so getting laid tonight." She said in a rush.

Edward grinned and hummed before singing "Bow chica bow bow!"
