Edward shuffled his feet awkwardly while waiting on the Swan's stoop for Bella to come out. He and Bella had been dating since the beginning of their Junior year of high school and tonight were celebrating their one year anniversary.
It hadn't always been easy, but no matter what-it was always worth it. At seventeen neither of them were taken very seriously by the parents about their feelings for one another, but they knew without a doubt that they loved each other.
Edward has racked his brain to the point of migraines trying to figure out what the perfect gift for Bella would be. Flowers and chocolates, while nice, were too typical and cliché. He wanted personal and full of thought. He wanted her to look at this gift and think, 'Wow, I can't believe he would do this for me.'
He cleared his throat loudly as the door opened while inconspicuously patting his breast pocket of his jacket to be sure the perfect gift was still there.
Bella bounced in place on the balls of her feet with a beaming smile in place. He looked incredibly handsome tonight in his low slung jeans and rumpled white button down, complete with the rugged leather jacket and motorcycle boots. His eyes were sparkling with the same excitement she was sure hers held as well. His hair was perfectly imperfect-wind blown and messy. Just like she liked it.
"Bella." Edward sighed, reverently. She was a vision in her simple charcoal grey knee length cotton dress paired with a small black cardigan and black ballet flats. Her silky chocolate hair hung long and wavy down her back.
She stepped forward immediately and threw her arms around his neck, planting a moist kiss right on his lips. So good. Edward thought as he wrapped his arms around her waist securely, kissing her more passionately than he should have right in front of her parents home; but neither of them could find it in them too care.
Bella's thoughts were focused solely on Edward. She had noticed he wasn't carrying flowers or anything, but she didn't care. He could go their whole lives and never spend a cent on her and she would still be just as happy.
Eventually the couple parted and made their way to Edward's car. They spent the rest of the evening having a wonderful meal at the local Thai restaurant then went and got ice cream for dessert.
Edward was nervous about giving his gift to Bella, and when they finally made it back to his house his nerves were on overdrive.
Bella was confused as to why they ended up at Edward's parent's house, but she was having such an amazing night and decided not to question anything, and just go with it. She knew that anything Edward planned would be perfect.
On the back deck of the Cullen house there was a large telescope set up, pointing up at the sky.
"What's this for?" Bella asked, walking closer to the telescope. She was immediately interested in taking a look through the whole. Bella loved the stars, and would often spend hours at night laying and the roof of her house watching them with Edward at her side. Edward had even taken her out where it was deserted in a borrowed truck where they would see them even clearer.
"Umm, well it kinda goes with your present I got you." Edward muttered. He pulled the envelope out of his pocket and held it out to Bella in a slightly shaky hand.
Her brows furrowed as she carefully pulled out the piece of paper inside. Edward watched with bated breath, waiting anxiously for her reaction. A slow smile crept onto her face and she giggled and jumped in place.
"Oh Edward! You had a start named after me?" She squealed, throwing herself into his arms. He laughed and caught her, hugging her tightly to him, his lips finding hers eagerly.
"Do you like it, love?" He asked, their foreheads pressed together. She inhaled his sweet breath and nodded.
"I love it. I love you."
