I smiled at her from across the table, taking the last bite of chicken, even though my stomach protested already full, I managed the last bit. It was just too good to waste, and it would be disrespectful if I didn't. Bella was still eating and my leg bounced nervously under the table. Is this a new human trait of mine? I've never done it before.
I bite down on my lip, running my hands through my hair as a strand falls into my eye, tickling the side of my face. She looks self conscious sitting there on the stool, while my eyes greedily drink in her features. She tries to focus on eating, but I can tell from the way her cheeks have there pink hue that she is well aware of what I'm doing.
Not being able to wait any longer, I fake cough grabbing her attention.
"I'm going to get a drink, would you like a drink or anything at all?" I ask her, standing off my stole, and picking up my empty plate.
"Uh, no thank you. I'm done anyway." She says, picking up her plate and standing to her feet herself.
"I'll take that, why don't you go up to my room, and settle down." I tell, her giving her my most charming smile.
"I can wash two dishes Edward." She rolls her eyes, but I can see the spark of love behind her eyes.
"I know, but a gentlemen should wash the dishes, when his lovely, gorgeous woman cooks him such a beautiful meal." I persist, walking towards her with a crooked smile on my face.
She giggles.
"Okay, okay, if you want to do the dishes that much here." She gives in, handing me over her nearly empty plate, and turning to walk away. She shakes her head slightly, looking over her shoulder giving me one last glance before she starts to ascend the stairs.
Quickly, I put the dirty dishes into the sink, leaving home there, as I try to be quiet when rushing over to the stair case. I take each step with light cautious steps, making sure to try and not make a noise. I hear the small squeak of my bedroom door open, and I quicken my steps. When I reach the third floor, I take three steps towards my open door.
The melody of Claire de lune playing softly in the background, only makes the sight before me more enchanting. Bella standing at the foot of my bed, bent over as he looks through her bag pulling out her washing bag and pajamas. When she looks up and spots me in the doorway she jumps, dropping the items to the bed and holding her hand to her heart.
"Edward, you scared me-" She chuckles, brushing back her hair. "I thought you were going to do the dishes?" She questions, looking confused, as I slowly approach her.
"I wanted to ask you something." I say softly, standing before her, and taking her hand into mine.
"Okay." She breaths, glistening brown eyes looking up at me with such love and tenderness.
"These last couple months, being able to touch you and love you like I wish I could have when I met you, have been pure bliss. Bella, you have made me so happy, when I have gone through decades thinking I were to say frozen in time, a miserable vampire. You may think that I saved you in that ballet studio, but it was you that saved me. I guess traditionally I should have asked for your father's consent, but I guess we're not really doing things by the book." I chuckle, my heart racing as I reach inside my back pocket for the black velvet box.
I open the lid towards Bella, watching as she looks at my grandmothers ring in pure awe. Her mouth parts, and she looks like she is barely breathing, as she awaits my next words.
"Isabella Marie Swan, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" I manage to to ask her throught the butterflies swarming in my stomach.
With each passing second of silence, my body falters with hope.
"Yes." Her quiet voice fills the room, and she spoke so quietly I'm not a hundred percent sure that she spoke.
"Yes, Edward." She repeats, grinning at my dumbfounded face.
