Teardrops On My Guitar
Chapter 11
Bella's POV
The next day I woke up around 6:00. I knew Edward wasn't going to be up for a few hours, so I made my way downstairs and baked him a birthday cake.
It was chocolate, with vanilla icing, Edward's favourite. By the time I was finished cleaning the kitchen the cake was done.
I put it in the fridge to cool after writing 'Happy Birthday Edward' on it with blue icing.
I made my way to my room and showered and changed. Then I went downstairs and found a candle and put it on the cake. I put it on the tray with a knife and made my way upstairs to Edward's room. I opened the door and he looked as perfect as ever.
His arm was spread to my side, hugging my pillow with a frown on his face. He was lying on his stomach. I put the tray on the dresser and went to wake him.
I kissed his cheek and he turned over. Then I kissed his lips, and he smiled.
"Edward, wake up." I cooed.
"Bella…" He sighed.
I kissed his lips again and felt him responding. He had a huge smile on his face when I pulled away.
"Happy Birthday Edward." I smiled.
"It is." He pulled me down on top of him and kissed me again.
I pulled away and he groaned.
"Bella! It's my birthday…so you should come here and lay with me." He whined.
"Stop whining." I laughed and picked up the cake and took it to him.
"Bella!" He gasped. "What time did you wake up?" He asked.
"Early?"
"You didn't have to Bella." He said.
"But I wanted to." I replied.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you too." I said kissing him again. "Now blow out the candle and make a wish." I said.
He closed his eyes and made a wish then blew out the candle. I handed him the knife and he cut the cake. I stuffed cake into his mouth and he laughed and stuffed it in my face.
I put icing on my finger and dabbed his nose, then spread it all over his face. He grinned evilly, and got up on his knees, his whole face covered with icing. He came towards me slowly.
"What are you doing Edward?" I asked.
"Nothing."
Then he spread icing all over my face, rubbing his face against mine. I would have run away if my brain was functioning, but I just sat there in shock.
"There." He said. "That's better." He laughed.
Then he licked my face.
"Yummy." He said licking again.
I moaned, stupid mouth.
He grinned and licked icing off my whole face. Well two can play at that game mister.
I pushed him back and he fell…he was on his knees so it was easy. I straddled him, pretty sure I was blushing.
I licked the icing of his neck and worked my way up to his chin. I licked the icing of his cheeks and nose. There was icing on his ear so I licked it off and he moaned. I grinned deviously. I sucked on his ear lobe and he moaned, very loudly.
"Bella!" He gasped panting. He pulled my lips to his and kissed me. The kiss was passionate but sweet at the same time. His lips moved perfectly against mine.
"So what ya' wish for?" I asked when I pulled away.
"I can't tell you, it won't come true if I do." He replied.
"Edward!" I whined.
"You'll be the first to know if it comes true…okay?" He asked.
"Fine." I said. "Get in the shower."
He raised his eyebrows suggestively.
"Edward!" I blushed.
He laughed.
"I know. I am going to shower." He said kissing my cheek…
"Bella?"
"Yeah."
"You taste really good." He smiled and closed the bathroom door.
I blushed more.
I went to the kitchen and made Edward's favourite breakfast. Chocolate chip pancakes with cold chocolate milk…kiddish I know. But it made him happy.
"I smell pancakes!" Edward said hugging me from behind.
I turned around to see a big grin on his face.
"You are such a kid." I said handing him his plate of pancakes. He grinned and pecked my lips and sat down. I found chocolate milk in the fridge and poured some for him. I turned around to find him staring at me.
"What?" I asked embarrassed.
"You look sexy when you cook." He said.
I blushed.
I sat down next to him.
"So what are we doing today birthday boy?" I asked.
"Well, I am going to take you out to dinner tonight, so we can do what you want for the rest of the day." He said.
"Where are we going for dinner?" I asked.
"Nice try. It's a surprise…" he grinned.
"But its your birthday!" I whined.
"I know…that's why you are going to let me do what I want to do." He got up and put our plates and glasses in the dishwasher.
"What do you want to do?" I whispered in his ear and he shivered. I smiled, glad that I had some effect on this epitome of perfection.
I cleaned the kitchen while Edward just stood there stunned.
I grabbed his hand and dragged his to the humongous staircase, there was a piano in the right side of it.
"Play for me." I said.
He smiled and sat down and played a tune…it sounded so familiar…yet I knew he wrote it. Then I remembered him humming it a lot.
It was soft and sweet yet there was a part that was strong and compelling. Almost as if the piece was describing feelings or someone.
"That was beautiful." I told him.
"Not beautiful as the person who inspired it…" He said. I wondered who he wrote it for and wished he wrote something for me.
"Who?" I asked. He looked at me like it was obvious.
"You." He whispered.
I didn't realize I had moved but I was straddling Edward and kissing him crazy. I only stopped when my arms hit the piano keys. I blushed.
"I love you so much, Bella." He said.
"I love you too." I said.
"What do you want to do?" He asked.
"I got you a present…" I said. Even though you told me not to.
"Bella!"
"Be quiet. I am allowed to give you a present when it's your birthday. You get me presents all the time for no good reason." I snapped.
He put his hands up.
"I surrender." He laughed.
"Good. Follow me." I walked to my room and told him to sit in the bed. I went to my dresser to find his present. I hope he liked it, I knew he would but a part of me was nervous.
I pulled out a small rectangular box wrapped in silver paper with a blue bow.
I handed it to him and sat down next to him.
He smiled and opened the box.
"Bella." He gasped.
"Do you like it?" I asked.
"How could I not? You are the best." He said kissing me.
I had gotten him to tickets to New York...one for him and one for me. He always wanted to go to New York for New Year's to watch the ball fall. But he never got the chance to. We were scheduled to leave on December 30th and come back on January 2nd.
"There's more." I said.
He looked at me confused then looked in the box.
"How did you get these Bella, they are hard to get a hold of…" He said shocked.
I laughed.
"I had them on hold after you told me you wanted to see it." I said.
I also got him tickets to the 'Phantom of the Opera' in New York. We were hanging around and I asked him where he would like to go…and he said New York and that he wanted to see 'The Phantom Of The Opera' while he was there.
"Thank you Bella." He kissed my forehead. "I am the luckiest man on Earth. I don't know what I did to deserve you." He said.
"I ask myself the same question everyday." I replied.
We sat on my bed and talked for hours, planning the trip. What we wanted to do, what we wanted to see…
"We should get ready for dinner now." Edward said nervously.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Can't tell you but wear a dress, its formal." He said.
"Fine." I laughed. "I am going to get ready…so you need to leave mister."
"Do I have to? I can just stay here and help you." He whispered in my ear.
I blushed.
I got up and pulled him up and pushed him out the door and skipped to my closet to find a dress. There were a lot so it was a hard decision.
I chose a blue dress that had a really deep neck, the straps were cute. There was a sash under the bust where the dress tightened then flowed out. It was really pretty. (On Profile)
My hair was a little wavy so I put mousse in it and it was very wavy. I didn't look like I spent a long time on my hair but they looked perfect in their messy way.
I decided on a little make-up, eye-liner and lip gloss. I blushed enough. Then I went to find shoes. I chose silver baby phat heels that were ironically named after me. They were really cute and comfortable. They had a peep toe, and very high heels. (On Profile)
I also put one baby phat hoops with the cat logo in it, a birthday present from Rose. (On Profile). I put my wallet and lip gloss in my purse, which was also silver and very shiny, a gift from Alice. (On Profile)
I stood in front of the mirrir and appraised myself, I looked good. I smiled.
I opened my door to see Edward reaching up to knock on it. He looked gorgeous. He was wearing a tux, looking sinful. He just stood there with his mouth wide open staring at me. I blushed.
"Its not polite to stare." I mumbled.
That brought him out of his trance. He crushed his lips against mine and I gasped. He smelled good, like after shave and his face was really soft. My hands went around his neck pulling him closer. We broke apart panting.
"You are too tempting for your own good." Edward said.
"I could say the same about you." I said.
"Lets go before my hormones take over and I rip that dress." He mumbled.
I blushed even more. He wanted me in that way…
He took my hand and we left. He opened the car door for me, kissing me before closing the door. He drove pretty far and pulled up on a dock.
I looked at him confused. He pointed to a boat and I gasped.
"We are having dinner on that." He laughed.
I grinned like a idiot and he took my hand. The boat was situated like a restaurant…there were a lot of people there. They all looked rich and snobby, no offense.
The girl who took out to our seats walked a little too close to Edward. She took us to our table, Edward pulled out my chair for me before sitting down.
"I am Natalie. Your waiter will be here to take your order in a moment." She smiled hugely at Edward while I just glared at her. She just stood there.
"You can leave now." I snapped.
She glared at me and left while Edward pretended to cough to hide his amusement.
"Jealous much?" He laughed.
"Does it bother you?"
"I think you are adorable when you are jealous." He said sincerely.
"Hi. I am Ben. And I will be your server tonight. What would you like to order?" He asked.
I just looked at Edward who laughed and ordered for us. Ben left after telling us our food would be there in 20 minutes.
"I like him, he wasn't hitting on you." Edward said.
I laughed.
"I have to deal with women throwing themselves at you all the time." I said.
"Yeah, but you know they are nothing compared to you. No one ever could be."
I leaned across the table and pecked his lips.
"I love you." I said.
"I love you more than anything in the world." He said kissing my hand.
"Even more than Mr. Doodles?" I teased laughing. He was Edward's favourite bear. He still had that thing somewhere.
"Very funny Bella." He was blushing.
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone." I promised.
"You promised me that when we were like 7." He pointed out.
"I know, now I won't tell anyone that you still have that thing." I laughed.
"Ha-ha play dough girl. At least I don't go around biting my best friend for not giving you play dough." He laughed.
"Hey! I like my play dough. And I did that once because you were being annoying. I was in kindergarten for goodness sakes. And you don't mind me biting you now anyway." I teased.
He blushed. I laughed.
The server came by and served us dinner which was some kind of chicken, very delicious. Then I had chocolate fudge cake for desert, my favourite!
I even stole some of Edward's.
We drove back home, recalling all the stupid things we had done. Like the time Emmett burnt his eyebrows off while trying to turn on the barbeque. He pressed the button like 50 times but forgot to turn the gas on, so Edward turned it on and his eyebrows got burnt off.
And once we prank called Wal-Mart. Jasper spent 30 minutes talking about different types of toilet paper. It was hilarious.
He parked the car and opened my door for me.
"Walk with me." He said holding out his hand nervously.
We walked to the back of the house to the beach. I slipped my heels off and left them on the deck, Edward did the same with his shoes. We walked quietly and Edward seemed nervous.
I noticed something big and red on the beach in front of me.
"What's that?" I asked shocked.
"Why don't we go see." Edward said holding my hand and running. I gasped when I saw it. There were rose petals in shape of a heart. And in the middle was a bottle.
"There's a bottle." I said picking it up. "There's a note in it." I opened the note.
It said, 'Turn Around.'
I turned around and gasped. Edward was on his knees holding a ring. The bottle dropped from my hand when my hands flew to my mouth.
"Isabella Marie Swan, I love you in more ways than I could possibly explain. You are more than just my girlfriend, you're my best friend and my other half. I know we are young but I'll wait for you as long as you want. I want to spend the rest of forever showing you how much I love and care for you. I don't want anybody else, but you. You're the shining star in a world of darkness. You are my dream come true. You are the reason for my existence, and I love you more than I could ever express. Isabella, will you make me the happiest man in the universe? Will you be my wife, my friend, my everything?"
I felt my throat constrict as I realized what he was doing, I was speechless, and I knew this couldn't be true. It had to be a dream, the best dream of my life. But it was real.
I stared down in Edward in disbelief. In my mind I was screaming "yes," but my body refused to cooperate. All I felt were the tears of happiness streaming down my face. Edward wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, and I wanted to spend it with him.
It didn't matter that we were too young, I loved him and I had always been the type of girl that wanted to get married and start a family. I used to think about our wedding since I was a little girl.
I simply nodded before finally finding the strength to whisper "Yes." I felt an overwhelming sense of joy, happiness, peace, and love as he slipped the ring on my finger. I knew I should probably look at it, but I couldn't take my eyes off him. I was afraid to even blink, afraid that I would wake up from the dream.
He stood up and kissed me. There were tears streaming down my face, it was so perfect.
"I love you Isabella." He said.
"I love you too Edward." I cried.
I couldn't believe it. I was engaged, to Edward.
Author's Note- Group Awwwww. I am crying right now…I know I am sad. Anyway, now you know what the deviously sexy mind of Edward Anthony Masen Cullen was up to. The story is not over yet. And I updated in less than 24 hours of the last chapter. I am proud of myself.
Anyway…REVIEW! I need to know if I am actually good at writing this sappy stuuf…or if I suck. Hopefully it's the first.
