I
felt something cold tickling my arm. I smiled slightly, opening my
eyes
only to be met by the most wonderful sight. Edward was
lying
on his side running his fingers up and down my arm with my
favourite crooked smile on his face, his black shirt made him look
even better especially with the top two buttons undone, showing me
his chest. I moved so I was as close to Edward's body and kissed him.
My hands went to his hair and I felt his hands running the length of
my body before resting on my hips before pulling me closer.
We
kissed like this for a few moments until Edward pulled away. I
moaned
slightly in frustration and heard him chuckle softly. I
snuggled closer to
Edward, closing my eyes to savor the moment. I
felt him move and opened my eyes surprised to see it was twilight. I
looked up at Edward and saw him
looking at me with what I could
only describe as love in his eyes.
" I love you Bella"
Edward said to me his breath tickling my face
"love you too
Edward" I said. I was mesmerized by the depth of his eyes
until
I felt his hands on my shoulders and on the back of my knees
picking
me up gently. We were standing in a blink of an eye and I
felt my feet softly
touch the grass again.
He
leaned forward and tenderly kissed me on his lips before lowering
himself
on one knee. I felt my heart sped up and saw him smile
slightly. I could see
he was really nervous and took his hand and
squeezed it reassuringly.
Slightly nervous myself at what was
happening. "Isabella Marie Swan will you do me the honour of
marrying me?" Edward asked, his eyes looking at me pleadingly. I
was frozen in shock.
I saw him judging my expression before opening the box. Inside was the most beautiful ring I have seen. It had a gold ring with a topaz stone surrounded by small glistering diamonds reminding me of Edwards's skin in the sun.
Edward knows I don't approve of marriage. My heart beat sped up and I saw Edward open his mouth as to speak but I held up my hand silencing him. He nodded and waited for me to speak. I know that I want to spend the rest if my life with Edward but am I ready to marry him? I looked into Edward's eyes again and knew the answer. "Yes" was all I had to say to make Edward smile again. He stood up again and removed a small the ring from the blue box and gently slid it up my finger. It felt like it belonged there, not strange or heavy like I imagined.
Edward took my hand and gently kissed my finger, my hand then slowly moving up my arm to my shoulders. As soon as his lips touched my shoulders, Goosebumps broke out on my skin. Every time this happened Edwards smile got bigger. He continued kissing me until he reached my mouth. His kisses weren't as careful as they have been before when we kissed. My hands moved onto his shoulders telling him I wanted this while his hands moved up and down my body. His lips moved to my neck, near my ear when I heard him whisper "We have to go and tell the family"
I
groaned and pulled him closer to me, hoping we can stay this way
forever.
I felt the corners of his mouth turn up as he continued
kissing me.
"Bella, love we have to go, they are expecting
us" Edward said in a seductive tone. I arched my back moving
even closer to him. I felt Edward pull back
and I gripped even
harder to him. "Careful love" he warned removing my hands from
his body and pulling me up with him, cradling me in his arms. I
closed my eyes and turned my head into his chest.
I felt Edward slowing down and knew we were reaching his house. I opened my eyes to see Alice standing there bouncing up and down. I felt Edward shaking with laughter and looked up to see him looking at me. We stood there looking into each other's eyes until Alice couldn't keep her excitement in check anymore. She ran over and grabbed me from Edwards's hands and ran into the house. She put me down softly on the couch and ran to get the rest of the family. I felt Edward's hands on my waist, as his family entered the room. I moved over so I was sitting on Edwards lap.
Alice
cleared her throat and all eyes turned to her. I was thankful for
the
time, that it gave me to prepare myself for what was about to
happen. I saw
Jasper giving me a strange look, and felt Edward's
head move. I ignored
them and looked at Alice, suddenly feeling
calmer. I looked over at Jasper and smiled. He nodded his head in
acknowledgement. I tuned into what Alice was saying "and now Edward
and Bella have a special announcement they want to make" Alice said
looking at us. I felt suddenly very nervous and felt a blush creep up
onto my face; thankfully Edward saw my discomfort and started to
speak. "Tonight I asked Bella to marry me, and she said
yes."
Before he even got out the last part of the sentence Alice
was hugging us as well as the rest of the family, excluding Rosalie.
By
the time all the hugs and congratulations were over I was exhausted.
I
was sitting on Edwards's lap, almost asleep when I heard
Rosalie start to
speak too low for me to hear what she was saying
but I could hear the venom in her voice. I felt Edward tense and we
were running up the stairs. I felt him lay me down on to the bed and
quickly left the room. I was going to ask him to stay but I knew he
wanted to speak to his family.
I heard angry voices from down stairs and tried to give them some privacy, but the voices only grew in volume. I quickly go out of bed and tried to listen to what they were saying. I couldn't quite catch everything they were saying. "Edward it's her or me? I will not live with a measly human in this house" I heard the malice in her voice. There was silence for a while, before I heard a soft hiss coming from Edward. I heard a crash and a door slamming. I quickly got up and got into bed again, wondering what had happened.
