Engaged 8
It was 4:30pm and the photo shoot had finally finished, Sakura, Ino, Alice, Hinata, Rosalie and Esme were all wearing similar silk evening gowns to dinner. Sakura's was a baby pink, Ino's a light purple, Hinata's was a deep bluish purple, Rosalie's was a deep purple red and Esme's was a pearly white. The all traveled in a limo to the restaurant.
Edward, Emmett, Jacob, Jasper, Naruto and Carlisle were all wearing suits to dinner. Edward's was a midnight black and all the other boys were wearing plain white suits. They also traveled in a limo to the restaurant along side the girls' limo.
Twenty minutes passed and the group had arrived at the restaurant and had been seated. They were waiting on their food.
"Excuse me, I'd like to make a toast." Edward shouted over the babbling group as he stood up, still holding his fiancé's hand.
The group stopped talking immediately and turned to face the happy couple, as Edward cleared his throat.
"This dinner is not only to celebrate the engagement of Sakura and I, but also a dinner to celebrate Sakura's 19th birthday. Not only that but the 5th yr anniversary of our relationship. Now, heh heh, im making this toast my big meaningful toast so when it comes to the wedding a can just do my little speech that I prepared and leave the big toasts to everyone else." Edward began.
The group giggled, Alice rolled her eyes and mumbled something under her breath, to low for anyone to hear.
"Sakura, you are the love of my life, I know you have heard me say that a lot, but I want you to know how much that really means. I have been alive for a long long time, and for almost all of that time, I wondered the earth looking for my soul mate. I would sit in my room alone at night and play the piano. When I saw you for the first time, something clicked in my head, something told me that you were the one. After almost a decade of loneliness I had found my soul mate. You Sakura, for so many years I have brought nothing but pain and struggle to my family. Now I can see that the hurt in their eyes has vanished. They realized how much you mean to me. And just as I would do, they would do anything to protect you. I am grateful, so grateful that you can forgive me. I made the biggest mistake going back to Bella. Yes I loved her but that was before I met you Sakura, before I knew you existed. When I saw you walk through that court yard garden for the first time, all my love for anyone else had vanished, all my feelings and all my worries for every other person on the planted had disappeared. I know that we will be together for eternity, and I love you with all my heart even though it doesn't beat." Edward finished, not taking his eyes off Sakura nor letting her hand go.
Sakura blinked her tear filled eyes and looked at the other people sitting at the table, not one of them had dry eyes.
The manager of the restaurant had over heard most of the toast Edward had made and now waddled over to the table. He tapped Edward on the shoulder.
"Now?" he asked in a small gruff voice. Edward nodded and slipped his hand out of Sakura's.
"I think this young man has a surprise for you all." The manager explained to the group as Edward strolled over to a corner of the room that was darkened.
Everyone looked up from the table when they heard a soft piano melody coming from the corner. A dimmed spotlight appeared on Edward as he sat playing at a large black grand piano.
A microphone sat on the piano at his head height.
He spoke in a soft voice.
"I call this, true love's lullaby." He whispered into the microphone.
"Its dedicated to my beautiful fiancé Sakura, I love you. I hope you like it, I wrote it the same night I met you five years ago." He continued. Then the only sound coming from the small restaurant was the piano.
