My Heart

Chapter One: Until The Day I Die

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

I looked at Edward sitting across from me. We were in the Italian restaurant where he had taken me in Port Angeles on our first date. It seemed so long ago...we had both changed in our own ways in that time.

"So, what do you say?" Edward asked, raising his eyebrows, his hand holding mine on the table. I sighed and looked in his eyes...a big mistake on my part.

"But...why? You know I can't wear the shoes. Last year I nearly broke my neck." I tried arguing my point, but Edward just smiled crookedly.

"I won't let you fall; you know that. You're just trying to find ways to get out of it." He reasoned, sitting back in his seat.

"Well...yeah, but--" I was cut off by a pretty blonde waitress coming over to our table, shaking her hips--on Edward's account, I am sure; no one's hips would do that of their own accord.

"Are you ready to order, sir?" She asked, her eyes on him and only him, completely ignoring my presence.

Edward looked up from my eyes and glanced at her. "Yes, I'll have the Chicken Alfredo." I knew he wasn't going to take a single bite of it. He looked back at me, "Sweetheart, what would you like?" He asked me, laying the 'sweetheart' on thick; the girl got the message. She sent a almost unnoticable scowl my way and stood, waiting for me to answer, her pen poised.

"The Mushroom Ravioli." I said promptly and she wrote it down.

"Would you like anything to drink?" She asked, turning her eyes back on Edward.

He looked at me and I shook my head no. I still had a full glass of water in front of me. "No, I think that is good enough, thank you." He said with a nod, turning back to me as the blonde pranced off to the kitchen, getting looks from guys at neighboring tables.

"Please, Bella?" He asked, picking up our conversation from before little Miss Flirty-With-My-Boyfriend interrupted us. "Just an hour and a half at least?"

I sighed; well, it was our Senior Prom so I supposed that we should go. But we'd have plenty of Proms, after all, after graduation, I was getting turned into a vampire and then we would have to attend yet another High School in some other city, in some other state.

"Alright. I'll go." I said, defeated as his hazel eyes bored into mine and a smile was instantly on his face. He leaned across and gave me a quick kiss on the lips as the waitress was coming back with our food, a very notible scowl on her lips. "Thank you." He said to me. "That's all I wanted; one last dance with you before you became...like me." He added, his voice scarcely quiet.

The girl set our plates down in front of us and then went to another table without a word to us. I picked up my fork and took a bite of my Ravioli. "You're not still that opposed to me becoming a...you-know-what, are you?" I said, keeping my voice quiet incase anyone was listening in on our conversation. Like...someone from La Push?

"I just don't understand why you want to die..." He said, folding his arms across his chest and looking intently at me.

I inwardly groaned. "Edward, you're not still going on about that...you know why. I've already told you countless times." I said pointedly, wanting to end this conversation which was garunteed to spark and argument on the way home.

He shook his head slighlty, not looking at me. I hated it when he got into one of his 'moods'. Oh well...I'd cheer him up later.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

On the ride home, Edward didn't speak about me becoming a vampire; he just kept one hand on my knee with the other on the steering wheel, speeding down the road not but five mintues from my house at eighty miles per hour, acting as if the subject hadn't even been brought up.

He took a right turn and then soon pulled into the driveway. I could see no lights on in the house, which must have meant that Charlie had infact gone on that 'all night fishing trip' with Billy. Which also meant that Edward and I had the house to ourselves tonight.

Edward helped me out of his Silver Volvo and led me up to the front door, turning the knob and pushing the door open, making a 'after you' gesture with his hand. I stepped inside the house and flipped the light switch, illuminating the hallway. Edward shut the front door and locked it, just incase any unwanted visitors showed up unannounced.

We walked into the living room and Edward sat down on the couch, pulling me on his lap. He moved my hair away from my face to kiss my jaw lightly, sending pleasent shivers down my spine. "Bella...I love you...you know that, right?" He said quietly, burrying his face in my hair, inhaling my scent.

"Yes, of course I know that, Edward." I said back, leaning my head against his, wondering what he was going on about.

"I'll always love you...until the day I die, and after." He said, his arms wrapping themselves around my waist. I knew what he meant: he would never die. He was immortal. He meant that his love for me was immortal. I leaned in and kissed his cheek.

"I know. So will I." I murmured, my lips brushing his stone cold cheek as I spoke.

"Bella, you know that I would go to the end of the world for you and do anything for you and that I will love you forever no matter what..." He paused and I could tell by the look in his eyes he didn't want me to interrupt, so I waited and let him continue with what he was saying. "When you become...one of us...I want to be the one to do it. But I want one thing in return...it is all I will ever ask of you for eternity...Will you marry me, Bella?" He asked, his voice soft as he looked up into my big chocolate brown eyes with his own predatory golden ones. It had been two months since he'd last asked me that question and I had turned him down. I had to think a minute...I needed to get some things straight like the fact that I didn't think I was ready for marriage...but why should that stop me if I already know that I will never love anyone else as long as I lived?

I looked back at Edward, my lips slightly parted. A smile flickered across them and I nodded. "Yes...Edward. Yes."

Edward's eyes lit up and he beamed, pulling me into the deepest kiss I'd ever experienced from him and my hands instinctively went around his neck, leaving no gap between us. Eventually, we pulled apart panting. Well, Edward wasn't but he wasn't human. He pulled a red velvet box out of his jacket pocket, opening it up and I gasped. Inside was a ten karat diamond ring with a silver band. Inside, I could see the words Yours Eternally engraved. He took it out and slipped it on my left ring finger, then put a hand against my cheek, pulling me into another, briefer, kiss. "Thank you..Bella.." He murmured, smiling.

"I love you." I answered softly. Edward's hands lightly rubbed my back as I leaned my head against his chest, looking at the ring on my finger with a smile.
