Chapter 4

Carlisle looked at his wife as if she had lost her mind.

Edward didn't know if Isabella had heard his mother but he had.

As they walked closer to the table where his parents were situated Bella noticed the stare Edwards mother was levelling her with so she shrunk behind Edward and halted her steps for a second, by her stopping she pulled Edward to a stop with her.

"baby what's wrong ?"

"i don't think i can do this Edward, look at the way your mother's watching me. She hates me. Please lets just leave. Or better yet you stay, I'll get a cab home or something."

"Isabella. Stop. You're not going anywhere. We are going to sit with parents and have a good dinner. Yes ?"

"ed..."

"yes ?"

"but"

"yes?"

"okay."

They finished the short walk to the table where his parents sat speaking in hushed tones but stop talking when they noticed Isabella and Edward reach the table.

"mom, dad" Edward kissed both cheeks of both his parents and introduced them to his Isabella.

"This is my girlfriend Isabella. Isabella, my mom and dad."

"Its nice to meet you Mr and Mrs Cullen"

"nice to meet you Isabella. I've heard quiet a bit about you." Carlisle said shaking her hand.

"please, call me Bella"

"alright Bella"

There was an awkward silence as they all waited for Esme to acknowledge Bellas' greeting.

"mother can i say something to you before we begin dinner?." Edward asked getting up from the table waiting for his mother to do the same leaving no space for an option.

Carlisle tried to keep Bella attention while Edward lead his mother away from the table.

"I heard what you said when you saw her and i see how you're acting toward and you know that i love you but i love her too and since she has no one here, i will protect and defend her even if its from my own mother. You will respect her . Am i clear ?" Edward said getting straight to the point.

"you're going to chose some random wanna be over your own mother Edward ?" Esme asked.

Edward was calm before but that whole sentence made him reach a place where he never thought he would go when dealing with a family member, especially his mother.

His green eyes looked as if they where turning black. His voice went down an octave as he spoke slowly.

"listen closely when i say this mother because i wont say it again. Speak about Isabella like that again, i don't care if you're my mother or not, i will not stand for it. We are going to sit at that table and have a civil dinner. Understood?"

Esme gave a slight head nod as Edward turned and gestured for her to go a head of him to where his father and love were sitting. Just as his mother was passing by him he said something that made her blood run cold.

"i may be your son but that is not all that i am."

X Xxx

While Edward was speaking to his mother Carlisle tried to get to know Isabella and he could definitely say he saw why his son was so enamoured by the young girl.

She was dedicated to what she wanted to do she spoke strongly of how she just wanted to make a better life for her father. The one person she could depend on through out her life.

Esme came back to the table in her black pencil skirt and red ruffled top and her black Louboutin heels. She saw the way her boyfriends' mother looked at her, like she wasn't good enough and now she was happy that she had let Alice and rose talk her into getting the clothes that she had got. Even if they cost an arm and a leg.

Edward came and kissed her on her cheek before taking up his menu to chose what he wanted to eat.

It wasn't an entirely uncomfortable dinner. Esme didn't really speak. Bella wasn't sure what was said between mother and son but it actually looked like Esme was afraid of what he had said to her.

She was afraid of what he had said but she was also afraid of what her husband had said to her before Isabella and Edward came to sit at the table.

"you run my son away from me Esme and you will be sorry. Don't fuck this up."

Esme knew Carlisle was serious but she didn't really expect Edward to pick the black bitch over her.

And so the dinner went. Conversation flowed but Esme remained quiet.

They were waiting for Edwards car to be brought to him by the valet when a police car slowly cruised by them. Bella' despised police officers and she voiced this.

"I fucking hate those pigs, what are they looking at" when she realized that she had said this out loud her hand flew up to her mouth.

Edward whose hand was around Bella' waist squeezed lightly and laughed. Carlisle straightened the jacket of his navy blue suit. Dusted off none existent lint off his shoulder and smiled at the police.

Edwards parents car came first.

"I really like you Bella, it would be my pleasure to get to know you better." Carlisle said before getting into his car and speeding off. Esme didnt even say bye to her son.

It was the day before Isabella's birthday and Edward was planning a special surprise for her. He had rented a dance studio for the night.

The tealight candles on the floor formed a heart with a table in the middle of the formation and a piano not a long distance off by a window.

Bella walked into the room with Rosalies' hands over her eyes. She was wearing a black coat and black boots while Alice trailed in back of them carrying three hand bags which he figured were hers, Rosalie's and his Isabella's'.

Rosalie walked Bella further into the room and then whispered in her ear "have fun". When Rosalie removed her hands from Isabella's' face she was awe struck.

There in the middle of the room was her boyfriend wear a two piece suit by a table surrounded with candles and rose petals. The place looked so beautiful. She hadn't even noticed that Rose and Alice had left.

Edward stepped over the candles by his feet and made his way over to Isabella who still stood where Rose had left her unable to move an inch.

He took her hand and lead her over to the table set for two. He placed her grey handbag on the floor next to the chair where she would be sitting and ran his fingers threw her curly hair. She knew how much Edward liked her natural hair so she left it curly for him and added no make up to her face, she didn't really need it anyway.

He helped her undo her coat and under it was a blue dress with stripes on it that Edward figured had to be painted on to her body with the way it was hugging her curves. No extra fabric anywhere. He had to stop and really look at her. She was a vision. But Isabella got a little self conscious about the dress thinking he didn't like it. So she pulled at it a little.

"is this okay?" she asked

"you look so beautiful Isabella. I can't tell you that enough"

"thank you" she mumbled shyly.

He pulled out her chair and helped her sit. Seconds later after he had taken his seat plates were placed in front of them.

Edward had ordered her favourite. Lasagna. From one of the best restaurants in the city.

Isabella moan all the way through her meal. Enjoying every bit of the food placed in front of her.

After the meal was over he lead her to the piano and sang to her.

Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so, sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay, I say

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So, don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are. Yeah

At the end of the song Isabella was full on crying. When Edward played the last note she flung her self at him. A song had never fit them better.

Edward wiped the tears away form her eyes.

"you look so pretty with out make up baby."

She buried her head in his and sniffled, thanking god for sending her some one like Edward, while Edward prayed she would stay after she heard what he was about to tell her.

"Isabella" he said gaining her attention and push her up off his shoulder so that he could look into her eyes when he told her about the line he came from and would be carrying on.

"i want to tell you about my family."

"okay"

"my grand-father was Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. The first. My father is Carlisle Anthony Masen Cullen. My full name is Edward Anthony Masen Cullen the Second. My grand-father was, my father is, and i am about to become the next capofamigli."

"what does that mean?"

"it means that i'm about to become boss. My father is a mob-boss and i am about to take over. I love you Isabella and i want you by my side. Only you. I iknow this maybe a lot to take in but i have never felt for anyone the way i feel for you. If u would have me i would love to someday make you my wife."

She was silent for a while. Thinking about what she had heard of mob bosses but how could Edward be that? He wasn't mean to her. She had never even seen him get angry. Then her mind took her back, back to what Edward had said.

"you love me?" Edward nodded and smiled in response.

She hugged him as tight as she could.

"i love you too" she whispered in his ear.

"so you'll stand by me?"

"yes. As long as you'll have me."

"forever" he said pulling her into a tight hug.

X Xxx

While Isabella and Edward were wrapped up in their bubble, her mind kept going though, there was a lot of things that Isabella wanted to know but she would wait to ask.

Across town a father sat at his desk across from the private detective he had sent to find out about Isabella. There were pictures of her and Edward together. The way he looked at her. He loved her. They had found his weakness. Now how to take advantage of it.
