Chapter 6
I drove slower than normal, enjoying my new car. Once i had gotten past the winding road to our house, I parked the car on the side of the road and I gasped as I walked onto the driveway. There were three more heartbeats then there should have been. "Excuse me!" I shrieked as I sprinted off northeast into the forest. "Bella? Bella what's wrong? Are you okay?" Edward called from behind me. I was glad he was following me because I didn't like to hunt alone. I answered his questions in the order they were asked. "My throat...hurts and I will be fine after I have hunted. I heard some elk and took down the largest buck and two other ones. I wiped my mouth and straightened my crouch. Edward took his hand in mine and said,"Max, Amelia and nosebleed girl are at the house. They are really good friends and apparently looked up our address and drove here together." He said as he kissed the back of my hand."I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, love." I leaned into him and sighed in contentment. I could stay like this all day. "Bella, they need us," Edward said as he pulled me towards the house. When we walked into the room all eyes turned to look at us. Max looked horrified at our appearance. I realized that Edward and I's hair was in snarls and going out in every direction from our hunt. Our shirts were crinkled and I had a small rip in my shirt. Acting on instinct I shouted out, "Its not what you think it is!" I realized what I had implied and hung my head down in embarrassment. Emmett snorted and Rosalie stifled a giggle. "I have an announcement!" Emmett yelled even though we were all gathered into the living room. He grinned then cleared his throat. "Rosalie, I want to give you everything you want and I want to belong to you forever. Will you marry me Rosie-Posie?" Rose shrieked out a yes and beamed at her new nickname. We heard sniffles and turned to see Amelia crying. "Are you crying?" Esme asked. "Um...no..I..we have to go now." She mumbled after wiping her eyes. Edward said,"Wait. Before you leave I would like to say something to all three of you. Amelia, Rosalie means the world to Emmett and he would gladly take a bullet for her." I bit my bottom lip trying not to laugh. Bullets couldn't hurt us, but the humans didn't know that. He continued saying,"Megan, Jasper and that little pixie of a girl are practically attached at the hip." I could feel Emmett and Jasper's silent laughter shaking the house. And assumed that nosebleed girl's name was Megan. "Last of all Max, I am straight, always have been always will. I love Bella more and more each day and I love her more than words can describe." Their mouths hung open. Clearly they were floored with Edward's boldness. They quickly recovered themselves and left the area. That was when the cheers started to errupt. Alice yelled out,"Oh goodie! Another wedding!" while jumping up and down.
