Chapter 5" Proposal

After I finished showering and got dressed and I went into the bedroom. Edward was looking at me. "Are you feeling better love?" he asked. Involuntarily I touch my eyes, he then smiled softly and said "they will get better".

He pat the bed indicating for me to go sit next to him. As I did so he said:

"Bella, I love you very much. I know you didn't plan for me to changed you this weekend, but we need to figure out what we're going to do". He touch my face softly, and at that moment I noticed that he no longer felt cold to me as he used to. He spoke again bringing me out of my realization and said "We can't stay here because someone will notice soon that you are different and even though you said human blood wasn't appealing to you, we can't take the risk."

I looked into his eyes and said "Edward, thank you for coming back, I don't care if we didn't plan this, all I care is that we are together again"

I came close to his face and without any warning I started kissing him again, he held me tight to his chest and kissed me back. I then noticed I was on my back and that he was in top of me, I don't remember how we got there but it felt amazing. He was touching my thigh with one hand, while touching my face with the other. My hands were around his neck as we were lost in passion and love. We were out of breath and panting and he started kissing my neck and I started unbuttoning his shirt when he looked into my eyes, sighed, then held my hands to stop me and said "Sorry but we need to stop now. Don't get me wrong this feels more than wonderful, but we need to decide today, what do you want to do. Charlie is coming back tomorrow and if he can't find you I don't know what he's going to do but I know it won't be good"

I bit my lip thinking hard what we could do, I know I am 18 and that I can leave home If I wanted to, but I also know that that Charlie will feel betrayed and probably angry and that mom will probably be worried to death.

Edward looked at me. He looked nervous, like he wanted to say something but was afraid I would not approve. I'd never seen him do this before so I smile encouraging him to tell me.

"You know that I feel terrible for changing you, I feel like I'm a monster and that I probably never will be able to go to heaven", he said. I tried to tell him that he wasn't a monster that I love him and that it was necessary so we could both be together, but he didn't let me, he put a finger and my mouth and said "Let me finish." He paused for a second, "There is one thing that I want to do like God intended it to be done, I want to make you my wife, I want to tell the world that I love you and that you are only mine, and I want to do it before we ever get intimate". He try to smiled, but failed misserably trying to read my expression.

I gasped involuntarily, I never thought about it, am I too young to get married? Am I ready for this? I know my parent won't approve but I'm leaving anyway, maybe this will give them some closure. I look at Edward, he was extremely anxious. If he was still human he probably would have being sweating like a pig. I smile and said, "Are you asking me to marry you?"

He took my hands and said "Yes", he kneeled in front of me and took a square box out of his pocket, opened it and asked "Bella, would you be my wife?, will you spend the rest of eternity with me? I promise I will try to make you happy every single day for ever and ever".

I looked into his eyes, I felt like I wanted to cry; I touched his face a simply said "Yes, I will marry you!" with that he put the beautiful diamond ring on my finger, He kissed me softly while he held me tight in his arms. "Thank you for making me the happiest men in the universe" , he said.

And suddenly the door of the room swung open and a little pixie, Alice, who probably had already seen all this in one of her visions, said "Congratulations!" She had a big smile from ear to ear. She hug me, and quickly said: "Now you two get up and move, we have a wedding to plan for tomorrow afternoon, I knew this was going to happened and I had everything already planned for you"

I heard a very high pitch scream, "What? Tomorrow?", then I realized it was me that was screaming
