~Chapter 9~

Perfection

EPOV

Everything was perfection.

Bella stayed over that night, but had to leave early to go home and change before school.

I'd called my father and told him about me proposing to Bella and I a huge, loud sigh.

"Edward, I thought going slow was the best approach?" he asked, I could see him sitting there, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Dad, listen, when we had our reunion, I just couldn't help it, then she came over for dinner that night and I just did it! I couldn't help it." I spilled.

"When sis you find time to buy a ring? You did use a real ring, right?" Carlisle asked, agitated.

" I bought it in NY, before I left, I just knew!!!" I snapped.

"Fine, you asked , she accepted, when's the date?" Dad asked.

"Well, we didn't go that far, dad." I grumbled.

"Let her tell her family and then we'll go from there." I said to dad.

I wished him a good day and to talk Esme I love her.

I was still happy, I wasn't going to let anything ruin my day.

Shit, this ring is huge, that's all I could think about, as I drove to my house.

I thought about calling my dad, but thought about it, that's as far as I got too…

I got home, took a shower and got ready for school.

I loved Friday, they were jeans day.

I picked out a blue top (Edwards favorite color), and my blue Converse.

Brushed my hair and threw it in a pony tail.

A horn was honking…

I looked outside and it was Edward, waiting for me.

He looked hot in his jeans and red button down and red converse, he was so sexy, I was so lucky.

"Good morning sexy!' I said, leaning over to kiss him.

"Morning" she smiled slyly.

"Ready to face the day?" I asked.

"Of course, with you by my side, I can do anything!" he bellowed.

We arrived at school with Emmett waiting for us by his car.

He looked like a kid, Christmas morning.

"Let me see, let me see!!!" Emmett yelled.

Bella held out her hand and Emmett picked her up and spun her around, kissing her head when he sat her down.

"Rosalie is going to be so jealous that I saw it first!" he chuckled.

Then we all groaned and in unison "Alice!"

"Man, she's going to kill me for not telling her. She's going to pout for weeks!" Edward was whining,

"Not to worry guys, I have it all planned out. I'm going to ask her to help with the wedding and she'll be my Maid of Honor and Rosalie will be Matron of Honor." I said beaming.

"Bella you're the smart girl I know! They'll both be unbearable for weeks!" Emmett crowed.

"Let's get to the Teacher's Lounge and get some wonderful coffee" Edward said sarcastically.

"Can we not tell anyone at school yet?" I said nervously.

Edward grabbed my hand and looked at me, knowing what I was asking.

"Damn it Bella, he'll have to get over it! You're an adult! " Edward yelled.

I hated when he yelled, it made me feel so small.

"Yeah, but he's asked 3 years straight and I've turned him down. I know it's not an good excuse, but it's how all fell." I snapped and walked off.

"Shit. How did we go from being happy to fighting?" I asked Emmett.

"Man you don't understand, she's afraid of Jake, he's got a horrible temper and I'm afraid for her.

I'll keep an eye on her like usual, until she's ready to go public, 'k! Just be understanding and don't go off half cocked, like you've been known to do." Emmett said.

"Why didn't she tell me about his temper?" Edward said, kind of out loud.

I was truly hurt, I had no idea he'd had a temper, well, when we were teens we'd gotten into a few fights, always about Bella, of course and I knew that there was still at least one to be had.

I walked to my classroom and sure enough, standing by my door, Mr. Jock himself.

I smiled and walked up to nice and friendly.

"Hi Jacob, long time no see." I held out my hand.

He just looked at me and grabbed and shook.

"Hey. Heard you were back, I had to see for myself, the only one who could ever have Bella's heart." Jacob spat.

"Jacob, look. I know I screwed up and I know I hurt her, but I'm back for good and I'm not leaving her again." I said calmly.

"Yeah, well don't be so sure she'll take you back, fully." Jacob said.

Just at that time, Bella and Emmett came around the corner.

"Hey guys what's up? Emmett said.

"Bella" Jacob said.

She looked like she'd just got caught doing something bad.

"Jacob" she replied.

"Well, I would love to chat, but I don't have first hour planning, so I've got to get to my kids, the teacher can't be tardy. Oh, and if you guys are going to carry on a convo, please take it out of my hallway, you'll disturb my class." I smiled and winked.

The day went by slowly, Emmett and Bella had lunch together as usual, keeping up this charade, (only for Bella). I ate in my room, I had planning to do and was working on a song.

Finally, last period.

I called Emmett and asked him if he'd take Bella home, I had a few errands I had to run and was leaving early, since I had planning.

"Anything for you baby brother, she'll be pissed though." Emmett had said.

I laughed at him and told him 'thanks'.

I drove to Port Angeles, I was headed to see Alice.

I walked into her store and she was beaming…

"Bella is going to be the most beautiful bride! I'm so happy Edward" she chirped.

"What? How did you know?" I asked.

"Bella, she called first thing this morning!" Alice was beaming.

"Oh" was all I could say.

"What date are you guys thinking of? I mean, summer is probably the best, because the flowers by the river are blooming and a dusk wedding, while the jasmine bloom and Bella walking down the stairs of the house…" Alice was going on and on.

"What? You've already got the wedding planned in a few short hours?" I asked.

"Well, duh!" Alice replied.

I hugged my sister and told her goodbye.

As I drove home, I stopped by the flower shop and got Bella some flowers and then went home to put a bottle of wine to chill.

About 5 I heard a knock on my door, beaming I opened it and my face fell.

"Um, hi Charlie. What's up?" I staggered.

He grabbed me in his arms and gave me a huge hug!!!

'Congratulations Edward." Charlie was beaming.

"Bella came by after school and told me, she was hoping you wouldn't be mad, hoping you didn't want to be with her, it's something she needed to do by herself." Charlie said concerned.

"No, no problem" Edward said.

With that Charlie hugged me I felt like I had a 3rd wheel.
