This one's for my favorite puffball! I...may have taken it a little farther then I wanted to, but I digress.
"Babe! Please? For me," Bella begged, coming up behind Rosalie, kissing her neck.
"Bella, I told you! I wouldn't fit in with your friends. You go, I'll just stay here and study for my midterms," Rosalie shrugged, smiling shyly.
"That's not true, we just need to get this amazing body," Bella started, running her hands along her flat stomach,"into that dress your sister got you for your birthday."
"No, I can't. I'll look silly," Rosalie disagreed, shaking her blonde head as she untangled Bella's arms from around her.
"Hey," Bella started, turning her around,"would I lie to you about this? Come on, for me," Bella asked, with an abundance of southern charm bred from growing up in Texas.
"Ok, alright! I suppose maybe we could go...but only for an hour! Then I'm coming back home, because I really need to study," Rosalie caved, sighing in defeat.
"That's my girl," Bella cooed, biting Rosalie's bottom lip playfully.
A blush shot up Rosalie's neck, and she looked down shyly. Bella tilted her head up and grinned at her, wiggling her eyebrows. Rosalie rolled her eyes, but returned the smile with a small one of her own. Bella liked to tease her, when she knew Rosalie was ready to take the next step in their relationship.
Ironically, it was Bella that wasn't ready to make love to Rosalie yet, despite the fact that she had lost her virginity in high school. After Rosalie had shyly approached her about it, Bella clammed up and was adamant that they wait for the perfect time. However, that didn't stop Bella from teasing her mercilessly, which in turn lead to Rosalie reaching her breaking point and demand Bella take her on the nearest flat surface. Needless to say, making such demands in a library isn't a good idea, and every since, Rosalie can't help the slight blush she gets every time she sees the librarian that was on shift that day. Of course, that incident lead to Bella sleeping on the couch for a month, and all of her AA batteries suddenly disappeared from her 'special' drawer after heated make out sessions with her 'shy' girlfriend. If you ask Bella, Rosalie is really a succubus in disguise, considering how devious she can be when pushed too far.
Bella looked up when she heard their bedroom door open, and her breath caught in her throat when she took in her girlfriend. Her hair was curled softly, running in waves down her back and over her shoulders. The royal blue dress she wore clung to the curves she tried her best to hide under lose pants and sweaters, bringing out her deep blue eyes. The heels she wore made her tower even higher over Bella, having already been taller to began with. Bella cleared her throat, before walking to stand in front of the blonde beauty.
"You look...I have no words," Bella admitted, voice thick with emotion she rarely shows.
Rosalie found this curious, her naturally inquisitive mind searching for an answer to her behavior, but coming up blank. Bella was sweet, yes, but she never was one to wear her heart on her sleeve. The only exception to that, was when she had finally came out and confessed her love for Rosalie after nearly a year of dating, despite the fact that Rosalie had been saying it for months prior to that. Something was different about her usually confident girlfriend, and she wouldn't rest until she found out what.
"Thank you," Rosalie replied bashfully, biting her bottom lip.
"Ready," Bella asked, holding out her arm.
"Always," she nodded, smiling slightly.
Bella's eyes flickered with an unreadable emotion, before she settled for a much more confident smile as the two left their apartment. She held her door open to her car, closing it softly when she was sure Rosalie was settled in. Getting in herself, she sent Rosalie a smile before pulling off onto the road. As they drove, Rosalie let her hand fiddle nervously with the necklace Bella bought her as an early anniversary present.
The white gold and abundance of diamonds on it was telling about Bella's family. While Rosalie came from a well off family, she often jokes that Bella was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Tiffany earrings and a Prada diaper on. That always earns her an eye roll and a scuff. Mainly because that would imply that Bella was a girly girl, which was the farthest thing from the truth, much to her mother's dismay and her father's amusement. Bella likes to say she comes from old money, so she isn't a stuck up debutant. She grew up in Dallas, in a big house with a wide porch and a huge tree out front that her father hung a swing from, so Rosalie isn't too convinced.
"Where's your head at, Darlin'," Bella asked, slipping easily into her southern accent.
"Just nervous, I've never been to this kind of party," she admitted, biting her lip as was habit.
"Relax. You'll feel better after dinner," Bella promised, pulling up the the restaurant.
It wasn't overly fancy, but nice enough for them to have to dress classy. The two when inside and were seated quickly. They had a nice dinner, and enjoyed small talk, just happy to be together. When Bella's phone buzzed, she checked it, before putting it away without replying, knowing Rosalie hates when she's on the phone while they're spending time together. After a while, Rosalie was completely relaxed, and Bella smiled lovingly at her when her eyes lit up as she laughed at something Bella said.
"Ready," Bella asked, getting the check.
"As I'll ever be," Rosalie sighed, shifting in her sleep.
"Let's go," Bella grinned, leading her to the car.
They drove for a while, until Rosalie noticed where they were going,"why are we going back home?"
"I left something, it'll just be a quick stop," Bella replied, sparing her a quick glance.
"What did you lose," Rosalie asked in amusement from the car, when Bella called her from their apartment.
"I can't find my suspenders! Babe, please," Bella begged, as Rosalie listened to her moving things in the apartment.
"I'm coming up, hold on," Rosalie chuckled, hanging up.
She made it up the stairs, and opened the door with an amused smile. Her smile disappeared when she entered the apartment, to see the lights out and candles everywhere. Her eyes welled with tears as she looked around.
"Bella," she called hoarsely, wiping her tears.
"I'm right here, Darlin'," Bella whispered, leaving their room.
"What is this," Rosalie sniffed.
"This is me wishing you a happy anniversary," Bella grinned, eyes twinkling.
"But our anniversary isn't until tomorrow," Rosalie frowned, looking down into Bella's warm hazel brown eyes.
"It is tomorrow," Bella whispered, nodding to the clock on the wall that read 12:04.
"What about the party?"
"Darlin' there was no party, I just needed you out of the house so jasper could set up here for me," Bella informed, kissing her softly.
"Your brother helped with this?"
"You sound surprised," Bella grinned.
"I am. I've never seen him do anything but play football and eat junk food," Rosalie smiled, shaking her head.
"As you can see, we're both full of surprises," Bella murmured, tugging her hand to take her to the room.
"What are yo-ah," Rosalie tried to ask, as Bella kissed her neck.
"Shh. Just feel," Bella commanded, nibbling softly.
"Bella," Rosalie whimpered, clenching her hands.
"Sit down," Bella requested,"do you love me?"
"Of course I love you, Bella," Rosalie answered automatically.
"And you'll do anything for me?"
"Yes," Rosalie affirmed.
"So...will you marry me," Bella asked, getting on her knee.
Rosalie gasped when she saw the ring Bella was hiding, before locking eyes,"I...Bella."
"If it's too soon, I understand, I just-"
"Shh. Yes, I will marry you," Rosalie cut her off, bottom lip trembling.
"I love you," Bella smiled, wiping her tears away.
"I love you, too," Rosalie answered, sniffling softly.
Bella grinned, flicking a switch Rosalie hadn't seen before. The room brightened, as the walls were covered with the image of falling snow. She gasped, looking around and finally noticing the bed sheets were also while, when they were a deep red earlier. She looked back at Bella, and received a small smile and a shrug. Bella leaned closer to her, to kiss her exposed neck.
"You always said you wanted to see snow, so tonight, I'm going to make love to you in the snow," Bella purred, pulling down the zip to her dress.
"Bella," Rosalie moaned, blushing deeply at her words.
"I wanted to wait, because I wanted your first time to be special," Bella revealed.
"It always would have been, with you," Rosalie admitted, looking away shyly.
"No. I thought the same thing, with my first time, so I wasted it on someone that did care for me, but wasn't ready for it. I knew you were ready, but I wasn't because I felt like I wasn't good enough," Bella sighed, laying down with her.
"I'm sorry," Rosalie whispered.
"Don't be. I can't get that back, but I can still give you my first time," Bella sighed into her neck,"my first time making love."
"Ah," Rosalie groaned at her words, letting out a whimper.
"There might not be fumbling around in the dark, but I've never done this before either, so I'm as in the dark as you, but we'll learn together," Bella promised, stopping their clothes off.
"Just touch me, please," Rosalie demanded with a deep blush that Bella was delighted to see really did cover her chest.
"As you wish," Bella purred, kissing her as she let her hands wander.
"How do you feel," Bella asked softly, running her fingers through Rosalie's hair.
"Like...I belong to you, and you belong to me," Rosalie admitted, biting her lip shyly.
"Good," Bella sighed, kissing her head.
"Bella," Rosalie asked, looking down at her.
"Yes, Darlin'?"
"That day in the library...why did you come talk to me," she asked.
"You smiled at me," Bella answered.
"I didn't. I was reading," Rosalie countered.
"Not that day, a week before. I walked by, and you smiled at me. It was simple, but I couldn't get your smile out of my mind. I looked for you, on campus, but I never found you. I had given up hope when I went to return some books and saw you reading. You had on those sexy glasses, and you were biting your lip," Bella chucked, squeezing her closer.
"I never knew that," Rosalie grinned," I'm glad you did come to talk. I never would have been able to."
"I'm determined to get rid of that shyness, future Mrs. Whitlock," Bella announced.
"You're welcome to try," Rosalie grinned.
"I have all the time in the world to do it, too," Bella smiled, kissing the ring on her left hand.
