“Isabella Marie Swan, I know I have loved you since the moment we first met. There was a quiet strength hidden behind your wary exterior. You opened your heart to me, giving me that second chance to prove to you that not all men are monsters. You allowed me to show you what a good man should do for the woman that he loves more than his own life. Every day, you give me a reason to smile, to get up and to live my life to the fullest and I can only do that with you. Bella, I love you. With my whole heart and soul, I love you. I want to wake up every morning in your arms and fall asleep every night, holding you. I want to kiss your lips. I want to share my heart with you. I want to get married, have a family and a dog. I want to be with you. Always. Bella, my Bella, will you marry me?”

“It’s a bummer that you can’t stay at the hotel, Edward,” Jasper said as we got ready in my condo. “Alice and I have a suite and it’s going to be so much fun.”

“I have to go to work tomorrow at ten. If we stay in the hotel, Bella and I are just going to spend the entire night going at it like horny bunny rabbits,” I snorted. Granted, that’s what I wanted to regardless. Hopefully, celebrating our engagement. The ring was buffed, cleaned and sized, nestled in my pocket. “We’re just going back to her place afterward.”

“Do you know how you’re going to propose?” Jasper asked, his eyes dreamy.

“I don’t know. I know that I want it to be just the two of us. You know? I have to somehow get her away from the crowd so I can drop to one knee and promise that I will love her forever. That I want to marry her and be her husband, the father to our children…” Jasper shot me a sharp look. He knew Bella’s history, probably better than most since he was the one who got her the therapist she met with on a weekly basis. “Whether it be biologically or adoption, Jas.”

He nodded, adjusting his bowtie. “You also have to be prepared for Bella not wanting any children, too. She may have been too scarred emotionally with what James did to her, Edward,” he said.

“It doesn’t matter, Jasper. I want her,” I whispered, spraying my cologne on. “Regardless if she wants kids or not.”

These are some of the rings that Edward looked at in Caught in the Flames...not that they're bad or anything, but they didn't tell a story and wasn't truly sentimental enough for his future fiancee.

“I can’t believe you,” Emmett said as we wandered around Tiffany’s. “Well, I can. I can see how much you love Bella, but engagement rings? You’ve been together for six months. You didn’t even say that you loved your ex-fiancée for over a year. And it was almost two years before you looked at rings.”

“When you know, you know,” I said, looking at the maze of diamond engagement rings. “Though, I don’t feel any vibe from anything here.”

“You said that about half of the jewelry stores on Jeweler’s Row,” Emmett deadpanned.

“That’s because those diamonds were shit,” I snorted, remembering the occluded rings they tried to sell me. “You can’t go wrong with Tiffany’s!”

Tonight had been a dream. There were no words to describe her ethereal beauty. Her dress hugged her body, making me want to make love to her for days on end. Her beaming smile when I won the Casey Severide Award for Valor and Heroism, made my heart lurch with a new-found, all-encompassing love. Holding her in my arms while we danced was something I had wanted since I first saw her in Marianos, reaching for that pasta sauce. Her petite body was made for me and I loved it. I loved her.

Unfortunately, the only issue we had was with Laurent.

Douchebag.

Asshole.

Waste of skin.

Argh!

The dude was a fucking sea slug.
