Aloha,
OMG!!! So much have happened!!! I had a crazy winter break. My Uncle from Qatar (I think that's where he works. That's in Middle East, BTW) came to visit and he sooooo ruined my break. He visits like once every year and it is so stupid. First, he wanted to see snow so we had to go DRIVE NORTH to Lake Tahoe. I swear, my toes almost died. My mom said my face was turning blue. Then, he wanted to see Universal Studio and Disney that's like SOUTH. The lines in Disney is like sooooo long. Later that break, he wanted to visit his colleagues so we had to drive....again. Then he dragged us to his "church" that went on for like 4 hours.... Then we had to go to lunch with his friends.....awkward. When he (finally) left, it was time to start school again...SIGH. Then last friday, I went to go watch The Unborn. I swear there was like no plot and the scare attempt was bad. The next day (Sat.), I went to see mall cop. It was hilarious. Especially the part when the phone kept ringing. Have any of you heard the song My BubblyGum/U Can Get by Rasheeda? It's pretty cool. We had this sub teacher yesterday and he was so weird. He gave a "speech" that was like 40 minutes long. Imagine falling asleep. He talked about College and Stuff.
That's pretty much what happened. Sorry for the late update....and Sorry in advance if you see any wrong grammar or spelling....I didn't get many chances to check it....
P.S. I will dedicate the next chapter to the first 10 people to figure out Bella's Ring Tone.
P.P.S. I currently like David Archuleta
P.P.P.S. Do you know the song Vindicated by Dashboard Confessionals
Disclaimer: I own nothing except for a bar of chocolate.....

"Do you want to hear the story or not?"
"Of course I want to."
"Okay.....so it all started when........"
EPOV (Edward)
"You wanted to talk about something?"
"I'm sorry about what I did...you know...back then...I did what I thought was right and I didn't think of what will happen. I just want you to have a happy human life and then now look at you," I gestured ,"you're a vampire. What happened was exactly the opposite of what I wanted to happen.....I lied and I'm really sorry....I still love you....and....
"Bella? Did you even hear what I just said?" Bella looked like she was spacing out.
"Umm...yeah...sort of," she replied sheepishly.
"You weren't paying attention?! I'm hurt. I just wasted my time apologizing."
The next thing I know, Bella has fallen off my lap (she didn't notice that she was still sitting there. I didn't want her to go so I kept quiet about it) and trying to get up. I started laughing like a mad man.
"That was so not funny, Edward Cullen."
"Yes...it..is..." I was having a hard time controlling my breath.
"A little help here?!" She looked so red that I started laughing again. Her face was as red as a tomato.
I held out my hand and helped her up, still laughing. It took longer than a minute to control my breathing.
"Can I ask you something?" I was in full serious business mode.
"Shoot." Bella sat next to me. She moved and placed her legs on my lap.
"Who's Matt, Damien, and Ella's father?"
"Are you sure you want to know the truth?" I was pretty sure she was trying to stall. Too bad it's not working.
"I'm pretty sure I do."
"It's a long story." Still stalling....
"I've got time."
"But--"
"Just tell me. If you don't tell me, I can always ask other 'people'."
At the moment, My stomach made a funny sound. She started laughing. I looked away, embarrassed. I was pretty sure I would die of embarrassment.
"Awww....the big boy's hungry. How cute," Bella cooed like I was baby.
"I'm not hungry. You're just imagining things."
"You can't lie to me, I've lived with boys."
She stood up and got me food. This is so embarrassing.
"Thanks."
"You're Welcome."
She watched me closely as I ate. When I was about to be done, she went up and got me a drink. This is gonna be a long day......
"Here's how it all begun.....
After you left I was sad for about a week...."
"A week? Is that how long it takes you to get over me?" This thought frightened me. Does this mean she doesn't love me?
"Don't interrupt me!...Okay, back to the story...I got "over" you because I knew you were lying. I can so see through you...after that, I tried to get my life back on track. You know....Going out-"
"Going out?! Seriously, Bella. I disappear and you start seeing other guys."
"Let me finish. Going out with my friends, Edward. My F-R-I-E-N-D-S," she emphasized the word, "This and that happened....blah....blah....blah....then there's graduation.....then college......I lived in a lot places...I live with the kids once in a while. Most of the time I just spend my time studying and working.....that's pretty much what happened."
"You left out a bunch of things like who's Ella, Damien, and Matt's dad."
"It's pretty obvious isn't it. You're their dad."
"That's....not......possible....I didn't even...ummmm...do 'it'....with you...I think." I knew that I was as red as a firetruck.
"I never said that it happened 'before you left'. It happened before that."
"But..but.....you weren't even alive back then."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"God! I erased your memory pretty good."
"Erased my memory?"
"This is going to be a long story. Can I tell you about it later? I really need a shower."
Bella stood up and started walking away. I caught her wrist before she got too far.
I tried to look at her fiercely, but ended up looking desperate. I placed her on my lap and wrapped my arms securely around her. "You will stay here and tell me the whole story. Okay?" I whispered.
She made a face. "O...kay. Can you let me go now?"
"Nope. Not until you tell me the story?"
"What if I just give your memory back? I'm pretty sure others would want to hear the story."
"That could work. If you give my memories back, I'll let you go."
"Close your eyes."
I closed my eyes. After a few seconds, I felt a sharp sting. My whole body felt.....weird. It was like my body was floating up in the air with the clouds. I was surrounded by snippets of my memories. Among all of them, I saw memories that I have never seen before. That was that. I watched my memories.
Flashback...
There I was standing outside in a green lawn surrounded by roses. Bella standing on the porch looking at the sky....Me sneaking behind Bella...
"Guess," I whispered in her ear. Her eyes were covered by my hands.
"Umm...Let me think....Michael?" She said playfully.
"Wrong...."
"Ummm.....Peter? Jackson? Andrew? Lucas? Enrico? Danny?"
"Are you playing me?"
"Of course I know who you are. How can I ever forget?"
She turned, removing my hands from her eyes, and kissed me. Bella broke off and started laughing. I wrapped my arms around her.
"Ummm....Can I borrow Edward for a while?" Her Uncle Danny asked.
"Sure. Don't keep him too long."
I followed her Uncle inside the living room.
"I already gave you my blessings. When are you going to ask her to marry you?"
"As soon as a find a good chance. I want to make it special and unforgettable."
"Good Luck."
Proposal.....
There we were walking around the field of flowers. I found the perfect and most romantic place -I could think of- to propose. It was underneath a giant tree. The only way to get there is to go by the field. I led her through the rainbow of flowers.
"Bella? Can I ask you something?" I asked when we reached the tree.
"Sure. This place is so beautiful. Remember when we were kids and how we used to play here with Alice."
"Oh, Yeah! Good times."
"And the time you said the exact...well almost exact...same thing you said just know."
"Which one? Good times?"
"No. 'Can I Ask you Something?' is so close to 'I want to try something'. You said that one time before."
"When?"
"When YOU stole my first kiss. We were under this tree and you were like 'I want to try something?' and I was too shock to move, then you leaned in and kissed me."
"Ah. How can I ever forget. You almost tore my hair off that day."
"I did no such thing! You would not move. I tried moving away, but you kept pushing me against the tree."
"A simple shove would have done the job."
"No. You were too.....occupied...."
"Then you started tearing my hairs off...."
"Off topic. You wanted to ask me something?"
"Yeah."
"What is it?"
"Give me a minute. I need to take a breath." I walked around the tree 5 times before I stopped in front of her. Bella sat on the ground. "Will you marry me, Isabella?"
She stared at me with wide eyes.
"Let me rephrase....I swear that I would love you every single day and until the earth perish and only the two of us remain."
Bella stood and hugged me. We stayed like that for a long time.
"Of course I'll marry you. Did you know that I overheard you talking to Uncle about proposing and such."
"You were eavesdropping?"
"No..."
We kissed until the end of time....
Wedding...
The wedding march started playing and Bella walked in. The sight itself knocked me breathless. Bella was wearing a strapless wedding dress. The dress was stunning. The beaded lace overlay scallops on the neckline with elaborate hand-embroidered designs and crystals on the bodice. A stunning empire wrapped in Luxe satin and scalloped semi-chapel train. A huge smile was plastered on her face. She walked slowly as if trying not to trip. It took me a second to notice the guy assisting her. Her Uncle.
Skipping to the Vows....
Bella - I, Bella,take you, Edward, to be my friend, lover and my husband. I will be by your side in times of want as in times of plenty. I will care for you in sickness and rejoice with you in health. I will walk forward with you to face whatever challenges await us with courage. I promise to keep myself open to you, to let you see through the window of my personal world into my innermost fears and feelings, secrets and dreams. I promise to pretend to listen every time you go on and on and on about things that no one understands and I will try to not break your piano when I'm mad at you. I swear that I will clean up your dirty and stinky laundry even if I did work all day long and you just slept. I will love you throughout the seasons of our lives and will remain with you forever.
Mine - : I, Edward, choose you,Bella, to be my wife. In front of our friends and family gathered here I promise to love and cherish you throughout the good times and bad times. I promise to make you blush every single day and to try to answer all your obnoxious demands.I will obey her every command and wish as long as it's not foolish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning that I wake up before you and try to not hog the blanket. I swear eternally before God and my lovely wife that I will not ever even look at another woman, as long as we both shall live. I promise to remember this day with love and roses. I will love you always.
After the Wedding...
After the wedding, we got out of the church and rode in a gorgeous White Victoria Phaeton carriage that has a burgundy interior. The whole carriage was decorated with roses of every colors. I sat with Bella...That night...Honeymoon....
After years...
Bella carrying a baby boy in her arms....Another few years....Little boy next to me....Bella carrying two babies in her arms...Me trying to teach the little boy how to play the piano...Bella and I sitting on a porch somewhere watching our kids play....
The memory list continued and kept me hitting like a tidal wave.
Flashback End...
Time slipped away.......
When I opened my eyes, I found myself staring at the most beautiful brown eyes ever. She smiled slightly when I looked at her.
"Are you awake now?" She was poking my left cheek.
"Um....I guess. What just happened?" She was still poking me.
Still Poking. "You got what you wanted. You got your memories back."
"I remember everything now?"
"Everything. No more secrets."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Really?"
"REALLY!!"
We stared at each other for a long time. Her face was getting closer to mines. Closer. Closer.
"Can I try something?" Her face was really close now. I could almost taste her minty chocolate breath.
"S-sure," I stuttered.
She stretched her left arm.....She face gets closer to mine (closer than ever. In fact, our lips are almost touching)....I closed my eyes.........and burst out laughing.
"What was that for?" I sat up.
"I wanted to test and see whether it's true?"
"What's true?"
"Boys are ticklish in the chest area."
"Why don't we see whether your ticklish or not?" I smiled at her deviously.
"You wouldn't dare!"
"Maybe I wont." I stood up and started walking away. "Or maybe I will!!" I went back and started tickling her.
"Stop...-laugh-....it...-laugh-...Edward..-laugh-..." Her face was a bright shade of red now. She was squirming from side to side.
And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
It's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye
But it's okay, there's always another day.
Her phone -wore as a necklace- was vibrating picked up and answered her phone.
"Hello?" I placed my head close to her to hear.
"Mom! Get back in here. Me is starving!!!!!!!!!" I could here Ella yelling on the other line.
"Okay. I'll get there as soon as."
"Love yah."
"Love you, too"
"You spoil them too much," I commented. I lifter and carried her up. Bridal Style.
"Put me down!"
"Nope."
I have to admit, it was hard walking down the stairs. The steps weren't really that steep. I was more afraid that I'll drop her by accident. We reached the bottom....FINALLY!!! Bella jumped from my arms and fell to the ground.
"Bella! Are you okay?"
"Yes.....I think."
I picked her up again. Now, the back part of her dress was covered with dirt. I started cleaning it up.
"Look how dirty you are."
"Thanks for dropping me." She gave me a teasing look.
"Come on. Let's go back before 'some people' think we're doing something."
"Can I ask for a favor?"
"Sure."
"Can we keep this a secret?"
"Why."
"Because."
"When are we going to talk again?"
She waved her phone in front of me."That's not what I mean. You know what I mean."
"Come to my room when everyone's asleep," she whispered on my ear.
She started walking. I ran to her side and wrapped my arms around her. It was a very peaceful night tonight. The trees along the path made a soothing sound along with the ocean waves. The stars twinkling overhead were so bright. Brighter than I've ever seen before. A soft cool breeze whizzed past us. I felt Bella move closer to me. This movement caused me to wrap my arm tighter around her. There was no sound except the crunching of the gravel ground underneath us. The path was lighted with a bunch of little lights making the whole place a place of magic. We could have been walking for hours and I wouldn't know. There was just something about the place that makes you feel like you're dreaming. I looked up and saw a very round moon on the sky.
I must have been dozing off for a long time. Bella turned and kissed me. On my lips. That was one hell of a way to get me out of dozing off. I pushed Bella to the nearest tree and kissed her beautiful lips. I wrapped my hands securely around her waist while she locked her arms around my neck. I held her closer and kept on kissing. She moaned. That was probably the sexiest sound I've ever heard. I trailed kisses down on her collarbone, shoulders, and neck. She threw her head back. She started unbuttoning my white button up shirt. In less than one minute, she got my shirt off and thrown somewhere. She brought my head back and was about to kiss me when......
And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
It's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye
But it's okay, there's always another day.
"That was.......random," Bella told me in a bemused voice.
"Hello?"
"MOM!! WHERE ARE YOU? WE ARE STARVING!!!." Ella was screaming so loud it was possible to hear her without putting the phone on speaker.
"I'm on my way. Bye." Bella turned her phone off.
"Edward? Put your shirt back on. What would people think?" She gave me a mocking look.
"Would you so kindly help me, Ma'am?"
"Sure."
She helped me with my shirt. I noticed, when she looked up, that her lips were swollen.
"And what would people say about this?" I tapped her lip.
"Maybe the 'people' won't notice the crime you did." She leaned in and then kissed me.
We ran back to the house. Everyone (well my family and Ella and Damien and Matt) was sitting on the couch in the living room. Ella was eating some kind of sandwich, Damien, Matt, Emmett, and Jasper were playing some kind of dancing game. Rosalie and Alice were watching movies with Carlisle and Esme.
"Sorry we were late, Edward," she gestured to me,"fell asleep and he wouldn't wake up."
"Yeah, Sorry."
"Instead of saying sorry, can you pleeeese make us some food? Me is dying," Ella gestured to her stomach.
"Okay. Food will be ready in 15-60 minutes."
Bella walked to the kitchen. Esme and Alice soon followed. To gossip? Maybe.
BPOV (Bella)
"Bella? What happened?! Tell me EVERYTHING!!!!" Alice was literally jumping up and down.
"Hmm? Is Italian food okay?" I looked and asked them.
"Yeah.....please tell me!!!!"
"Later. After Dinner.....Tomorrow."
"Fine. But only because I'm hungry."
I made two different types of pasta (lasagna and spaghetti), three pizzas with different toppings (Cheese, Pepperoni, Hawaiian), (I know that those are not Italian Pizzas. I only put the ones I like. Xoxo, DM) , a double chocolate cake, and some Vanilla Caramel Flan. Esme and Alice were having so much fun preparing the food. Before we finished cooking, Alice and I were covered in flour from our previous flour fight. Alice went to the bathroom to get cleaned up while I went to my room to change take a shower.
So much had happened today. First, Edward and I were talking and then next thing I remember, we were kissing. What happened to taking things slow. I laughed at absurdity and walked directly to the bathroom where took a short shower. I wrapped myself in my dark blue bath towel and sauntered to my closet. Hmm...What to wear? This is always the first thing I have to ask myself after a shower. I found a black cotton gathered belted shorts and a teal printed modal jersey shell tank. Since I didn't have that much time, I fixed my hair into a messy bun.
15 minutes later....
I descended down the stairs running. On my second to last step, I slipped and a huge muscled arm secured me so I wouldn't fall. When I looked up, I saw Emmett with huge eyes. His mouth was wide open. The sight was so hilarious and I couldn't help but laugh. After a while, he joined the laugh to.
"Jeez! Bella, You scared the crap out of me!" Emmett was still laughing, "Well, I'm hungry."
"Okay. I think everyone is." When Emmett turned, I jumped on his back.
"Bella!! What are you doing?" He was trying to look back and keep me from falling. He was failing miserably.
"Carry me to the kitchen."
"Do I get a choice?"
"Nope."
He literally ran to the kitchen. On his way there, he almost ran me into the door frame. He stopped at the right time. The distance was only inches. Emmett ducked so we can get through without cutting our heads off. When we got to the kitchen, I found everyone around our kitchen table. The whole kitchen smelled like oregano and maybe.....Italy? Everyone looked up. The person that caught my attention was Rosalie. She smiled.....at me. Emmett was huffing by the time we got to the place.
"Bella.....please....jump.....down.....I'm....dying....." Emmett, somehow, managed to say.
"Okay!" When I jumped down, he fell on the floor. His face was dark red. For a moment there, I felt guilty.
"I don't think I'll be ever to walk straight again after this."
Instead of replying, I just stuck my tongue at him. We ate dinner, had dessert, and talked about things that happened in the past years. The oven signaled the end of the cake baking. I left it on the counted to cool off. After dinner, the boys (Damien, Matt, Jasper, Emmett) went over and designed it. The rest of us cleaned the table and left the dishes in the sink. After that, we walked back to the entertainment room.
The entertainment room is mostly everyone's favorite room. It takes up the whole basement. The entire room is set up to look like a super modern club/arcade. When you first walk in, you will see a little separated room. Inside the room is a huge plasma t.v. screen with surround sound system. Near the screen, there were four wide comfortable seats with head rests on the sides and middle corner place with three matching pillows. The brown and beige colors fabric combination accents perfect taste and fits into the dark room. Each seating space feature cushion seat and back with individual back rest element and headrest. In the middle was a coffee table with square shape and frosted glass top. Outside the little movie room is where you'll full experience the whole club theme. Bright moving lights, loud music, and a huge bar at the end of the room. The club makes up about 1/3 of the room. Another 1/3 of the room is a sort of arcade made up of an Air Hockey Table, a Pool Table, Foosball Tables, some Basketball Shoot Out Games, Skee Balls, a Table Tennis, and a lot of arcade game machine things (driving, shooting, and other games) that doesn't make sense.
"THIS IS THE COOLEST ROOM THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!! EVER!!!" Alice exclaimed as she walked around the basement and then walked in the little movie room. Her eyes went wide as she saw the HUGE screen and the inviting sofa. "CAN WE WATCH A MOVIE? PLEASEEEEEEE!!!" She started jumping up and down the sofa.
Carlisle walked next to Alice. "Alice...Breath....Inhale....Exhale....Inhale.....Exhale." Alice, after a few breaths, calmed down and sat on the sofa.
"What movie do you want to watch?" I asked with a little smile. Alice stood up, then ran and hugged me.
"Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! times 10. Can we watch a scary movie?" Alice looked at me with her puppy eyes.
"Sure. Which one?" Alice accidentally elbowed the button on the wall. The whole left wall shook and uncovered thousands of movies. Alice's eyes went wide again. She then started reciting the list of the horror movies she liked. After a trillion hours of debating, we decided to watch some random horror movie.
The boys who were left to design the cake came in. Emmett's and Jasper's faces were covered with chocolate. Damien walked in and behind him was Matt carrying the cake. The cake was beautiful. The sides were enveloped with chocolate sticks, the top were covered with chocolate icing and sprinkled with white chocolate shavings. There were white chocolate roses around the sides and some on the top.
"Good Job," Esme complimented. She looked at the boys and raised one of her eyebrows. "What happen to you, guys?"
"Ummm....Chocolate War?" Emmett replied....grinning. I'm guessing I'm going to have one hell of a clean up job.
"I don't want to know."
Rosalie walked up to Emmett and licked the chocolate on his cheek. "You smell delectable."
"Umm....Rose? Not here...." Emmett blushed. So cute.
"Why don't you guys get clean up while we set things up. We're watching a movie," Esme said in a calm voice. Clearly hiding a grin.
"Okay." Matt set the cake down and all four of them raced upstairs. We heard something that sounded like a glass breaking and some one saying Sorry, Bella. Will these boys ever grow up?
Before midnight, we were able to start the movie. Esme and I handed out pieces of cake and minutes after that, we "popped" five bags of popcorn. Matt closed the door before the movie. The room was engulfed in darkness. Only the light from the screen kept everyone from freaking out, but that wasn't enough. The movie was pretty typical. Someone trying to get revenge and blood. Tons of blood. Even though the parts are expected, we still screamed. The fun wasn't watching the movie. It was watching the boys' reactions. On this one part, I swore I saw Emmett jump and hide behind Rosalie. He was murmuring something that sounded like There's something there.....Don't look...there's something there....
After the movie, I decided to let the Cullens sleep over since it was dark outside. Since there are only four rooms Alice, Esme, and Rosalie decided to sleep in Ella's room with Ella, of course. Emmett, Jasper, and Carlisle slept on Matt's room (the room where Edward was staying). Matt slept on Damien's room. That left Edward and me. We played Rock, Paper, Scissor. If I win, I get the room to myself. If Edward wins, he sleeps in my room.
At the end, Edward won. Everyone went to their respective rooms. I was tired and there's still the dishes. Edward followed me to my room... When I got there, I jumped straight to bed. Edward was walking to the couch.
"Where are you going?"
"Sleeping on the couch," he replied while yawning.
"Don't be stupid. You'll hurt your back. Lay in the bed with me."
"Whatever you say." He walked over and gave me a kiss.
Before I could say anything else, Edward had fallen asleep. I sauntered to the bathroom for the who-knows-how-many-times and cleaned up. My eyes started acting weird so I just randomly picked my sleepwear. What happens next? I don't remember....I must have been sleep walking back to bed.
Around 3:00 A.M.....
What do you think is going to happen at 3 AM in the morning? Vampire Attack?
Please Review.....Is it Good? Bad? Terrible? Horrible?
Xoxo (for the second time)
