Chapter 47:
Proposal
We ran around quickly, decorating everything just as Nessie and Alice had planned. Everything had to be placed just as planned, not a single thing out of place. That took up almost 3 hours. According to Nessie, that was pretty good; she thought it would take about 4. I just shook my head.
"You've been spending way too much time with Alice" I said as we ran.
"No . . . " she trailed off as she frowned. "I just want this to be perfect" she said and I smiled.
We arrived quickly back at the house.
"Come on, help me get the piano" I said and she nodded, grabbing one side and lifting.
"Ness?" Emmett called and she dropped her side turning around.
It landed with a thump, a bunch of random notes being played. I stared in horror at it and she turned around slowly.
"Sorry. I didn't break it . . . did I?" she said softly.
"Alice? What just happened?" I heard Bella say upstairs.
"Nothing, just the boys"
I flipped open the lid, checking all the mallets and strings. Everything seemed to be okay.
"Emmett, can you lend us a hand" I asked so he wouldn't distract Nessie.
"Sure" he said with an evil glint in his eye.
I read his idea too late. He came up suddenly and picked up the whole piano, running off with it.
"EMMETT!" Nessie and I yelled as we ran after him.
We found him in the meadow, grinning like a fool.
"This good?" he asked and I very nearly exploded.
"I swear Emmett, if that piano had even a scratch on it—" I trailed off with my threat.
"Relax bro, loosen up" Emmett said as he ran off.
I was muttering most the time that we spent arranging the piano. Nessie spread out the blanket we were going to lay on and quickly, we lit up the thousand of candles around and in the meadow. Now, everything was perfect.
"Come on! We have 30 minutes to make you decent" Nessie said as she ran to the house.
We headed upstairs, trying to be quiet so Bella wouldn't hear us.
"Take a shower" she ordered and I quickly obliged.
I could hear her going through my closet and coming in and out of my room a lot. She finally left and I came out and changed. She practically had a tux laid out on my bed, though it wasn't exactly as . . . fancy I guess. I had just finished putting it on when Nessie ran in.
"Ehh, not bad" she said as she circled around me.
She would fix my shirt, tighten my jacket just small things.
"Okay, now go do your hair because I honestly have no idea how you do it" she said and I smiled.
I added a drop of gel to my hand and then shook my hair thoroughly with it, achieving my usual style.
"Perfect!" she said in exultation. "Now go wait for her at the bottom of the stairs, she'll be out soon" Nessie ordered.
I nodded, walking down the stairs slowly.
"Wait!" she whispered suddenly.
I turned just as she tossed a small box in the air.
"Forget something?" she asked.
I smiled as I slipped it in my pocket and continued down. All the guys were waiting for me.
"Good luck man" Will and Alex said as they patted me on the back.
"You won't need me, will you?" Jasper asked and I gave him a playful shove.
"Ah, Eddie's finally taking the steps to become devirginized" Emmett said and I slapped him so hard it echoed around the room. "Just saying" he muttered, rubbing his head.
Somebody cleared their throat and we all looked up. All 6 girls were now making their grand entrance, walking down the stairs. I hardly even noticed them though, my eyes were on Bella. She looked . . . it was just . . . amazing. She was wearing a small midnight blue dress that hugged her curves in a way that should be illegal.
Her hair was simple but intricately styled, flowing beautifully down her back. She had blue eye shadow and mascara though not to much and was walking in tiny silver heels. She absolutely left me staring like a total idiot as she descended the stairs. I reached out my hand when she came to the bottom step.
"So, do you like it" she asked as she let me pull her towards me.
"You look incredible Bella" I whispered into her ear. "ready?" I asked louder.
She nodded with a smile and I grabbed her hand, leading her out. I looked back once and gave everyone a nervous smile before I headed out with Bella.

"Alice, are you done yet?" I asked tiredly.
I had been a Bella Barbie for almost 4 hours now and I was getting very impatient.
"Just relax Bella, we're almost done" she said as she strapped silver heels on my feet.
"Alice—"
"They're small and you won't trip . . . mostly" she added and I sighed.
Leave it to me to probably ruin a perfect moment by tripping and falling.
"And . . . Viola! Girls, we are done!" Alice exulted.
Alice, Rosalie, Sophie and Mel had been working on me, concentrating on different parts.
"Bella, you look hot!" Rosalie said and I smiled.
I got up slowly and walked over to Alice's all-around mirror. I had to admit, I looked pretty good. I was in a midnight blue dress with sapphires around my neck, wrist and hanging on my ears. My hair was intricately and beautifully styled, flowing nicely down my back. The heels, as Alice said, were not very high. Over all, I looked incredible.
"You guys are amazing!" I said as we had one big group hug.
"Hey! What about me?" Nessie said at our door.
"Get in" I said and she managed to squeeze into the middle of our group hug.
"Now come on, I can't wait to see Edward's face when he sees you" Alice said excitedly as she pulled me along.
We walked out in time to hear and see Edward slap Emmett hard and Emmett muttering "Just saying". When we reached the top of the stairs, Alice cleared her throat to get their attention. When he turned, he took my breath away. His butterscotch eyes were bright and excited. He had on black pants with a light blue shirt and a jacket on top, stylishly placed.
He had on dressy black shoes and looked absolutely gorgeous. The second Edward's eyes laid on me, his mouth dropped open. I suppressed a giggle as I walked down, watching his expression. When I reached the bottom step, he held out his hand, like the gentleman he always was.
"So, do you like it" I asked as he pulled me towards him.
"You look incredible Bella" he whispered into my ear. "Ready?" he asked louder.
I nodded with a smile and he grabbed my hand, leading me out. I was filled with curiosity as to where we were going. Restaurant: no, we don't eat . . . technically. Movies: probably not. I was just at his house and we were dressed to formally for the beach.
"Come on" he said as he headed in the direction of the woods.
I nodded but with wide eyes. I had never really run with heels and I didn't have a good feeling about it. He turned back and smiled crookedly before swooping me up in his arms, bridal style.
"I don't want any of Alice's work to go to waste, not this time" he said as he began to run.
It reminded me slightly of my dim, human times, when I used to clink on his back and he would go racing through the woods. He slowed a little and finally stopped just behind some trees with huge leaves. He set me on my feet carefully, making sure It was on flat ground.
"We're here" he said as he pulled back the leaves to reveal a small meadow.
I walked in, in a daze. It was so beautiful. It was a small meadow covered with a fresh layer of snow. Icicles were hanging from the trees and I could see the water fall way to the left. There were about a thousand candles, flickering throughout, giving the meadow an enchanted feel. Still, the snow did not melt. His grand Piano was set off to the right and there was a big blanket spread out in the middle of the meadow.
"Do you like it?" he asked softly and I nodded.
"It's so beautiful" I said softly as I walked toward the blanket, feeling completely relaxed.
"Look" Edward said as he pointed to the sky.
We sat down together for a minute, watching the sun set, turning the sky all shades of pink and orange. When it became Twilight, Edward stood up slowly, pulling me up with him.
"Bella, there's something I want to ask you" he said, his golden eyes gazing deep into mine.
I tilted my head in confusion. I gasped as he suddenly slipped to one knee, everything now making sense.
"Isabella" he pronounced my full name. "you're the most incredible creature I have ever known. I know I hurt you in the past but I never will again. I will give you my unyielding love, forever and always. . . will you marry me?" he asked as he pulled out a box and opened it, revealing a simple but beautiful ring.
I was in shock for a second before I answered.
"Yes . . . yes!" I said as I threw myself at him.
