Bella POV
I bit my lip nervously as the car pulled up in front of the given address- it looked like some sort of restaurant. We were twenty minutes late. We had gotten stuck in traffic. I prayed to God that Edward hadn't left yet. I slid my heels off my feet and ran, as fast as my clumsiness would allow me, into the building. I froze when I entered.
The room was empty. There was just a black spiral staircase in the center, littered with red and white rose petals. I slid my heels back onto my feet and slowly made my way up the stairs, trying not to crush too many of the petals underfoot. They were all so beautiful. After winding up the staircase for a few minutes I reached the end. There was a trail of rose petals leading to an elevator. I made my way into the elevator. There was a heart over the top floor button, so I pressed it. The elevator went much too slow for my liking.
The doors dinged and opened. The sight I met stunned me. I was on the roof of the building. All of Las Angeles was spread out below me. Lights were twinkling, buildings were towering. It was amazing. Rose petals and candles lined the way into a small, glass room. I entered it slowly, looking around for Edward.
"Edward?" I whispered softly. He was sitting hunched at a table, two long, pink candles burning in the center. There was a bottle of champagne in the center, two glasses next to it. A piano was situated in the corner of the room.
"Bella!" he gasped. He whirled around and grinned my special crooked grin. He stood up and I ran to him, tossing myself into his arms.
"That was the sweetest, most romantic thing that anyone could have ever possibly done for anyone. I l-love y-you," I choked, starting to sob at the end. Edward chuckled lightly, pulling my lips to his.
"I love you too Bella," he sighed. "You don't know how much I've missed saying those words." He pulled my lips back to his, kissing me fiercely. I had missed kissing Edward. No one else could match up. His kisses were real, passion, love, tenderness and lust all mashed up into one super kiss. It was fabulous.
"Dinner might be a little cold but it should still be good," he said, pulling me over to the table.
"Sorry we got stuck in traffic," I said instantly. "I was so scared you would leave."
"I was planning to wait here all night if you didn't come," he confessed. "And then I was going to break into your hotel room and make you hear me out," he teased. I giggled. He held my chair out for me and I sank onto it. He sat across from me, pouring me a glass or champagne. There was a plate of my favorite food in the world- mushroom raviolis- sitting on the plate in front of me. They were a little cool but I dug right in, not even caring. Edward chuckled lightly before digging into his own food.
"Can I play you something Bella?" Edward asked, gesturing to the piano. "I've been working on it for a while."
"Sure," I agreed instantly. He stood, taking my hand in his and we walked over to the piano. He sat me down next to him and began to sing as his fingers danced across the keys.
"Best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying...
I know you're wearing thin down to the core..." His voice was beautiful and wove easily through the soft playing of the piano
"But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear its true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find." He leaned over and kissed me at this point, his fingers never stopping his song. He pulled away, only to keep singing.
"This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start." I marveled in the lyrics to the song. I knew Edward didn't write it, but it seemed like the lyrics were made for us. Written specifically for us.
"Oh, But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
'Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep." Oh I will, I thought to myself, giving Edward a wide, watery smile. Edward beamed back. I could feel the moisture in my eyes as Edward continued to serenade me.
"Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find."
"Edward," I whispered, my chin quivering. "That was so beautiful."
"I learned it for you. I heard it on the radio…and I thought of our situation. I knew if I ever managed to get you to forgive me, I would play it for you," he murmured. He pulled me onto his lap and kissed me deeply. I moaned into his mouth in complete and utter happiness.
"I love you so much Edward," I mumbled against his lips.
"I love you too. Can I have this dance?" he asked.
"There's no music," I pointed out.
"Oh well," he smirked. I laughed and he pulled us to our feet. He instantly started twirling us around.
"Hello beautiful
How's it going?
I hear it's wonderful in California
I've been missing you
It's true..." Edward began to sing as he lithely twirled me around. But my snort stopped him.
"The Jonas Brothers Edward? Honestly?" I teased. He laughed.
"You come up with something better," he challenged.
"Tale as old as time," I sang softly. "True as it can be."
"Beauty and the Beast Bella? And you call the Jonas Brothers pathetic," he scoffed. I giggled.
"That song is a classic," I told him.
"So would that make you the beauty and me the beast?" he asked.
"I guess so," I decided after a moment.
"Well then, how would you like to accompany outside my beauty?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.
"I would love to hideous beast," I said angelically. He laughed, scooping me up in his arms bridal style. I squealed in surprise as he walked me outside. I noticed there was a picnic blanket laid out on the floor. Edward laid me down on it, scooting next to me. He pulled me against his chest and we stared up at the stars.
"I love it up here," he sighed. "It's one of the only places in this city where you can see the stars in the sky."
"It's beautiful," I agreed. I stared up at the sky. I realized Edward was shaking slightly and I was about to ask him if he was cold when there was a loud boom above our heads and a shower of colors fell above us. I gasped. Fireworks.
Red, green, purple, yellow, blue and orange sparks flew in every direction. I was in awe. It was more intricate then any Forks show had been, even on the fourth of July. Colors swirled together in the dark sky, forming all sorts of shapes. I could feel Edward's eyes on me but I couldn't tear my eyes away from the sky. It was so beautiful.
And then it was forming words. I was confused for a moment when Edward pulled away slightly. I read the words then. Marry me Bella? I gasped and tears sprung to my eyes.
"Isabella Marie Swan," Edward said. I hadn't realized he had gotten on one knee next to me. I sat up shakily, watching as the words faded from the sky. I turned to give Edward my full attention afterwards, not even trying to stem the flow of tears from my eyes. "Bella I have loved you since the first day I ever saw you. I will love you for all of eternity. As long as the sun shines, as long as the sky is blue and the grass is green, I will always love you. Will you do me the honor of being my wife?" He opened the little box in his hand and I gasped. The ring was made from pure platinum, three huge diamonds on the top. (Ring on profile)
"Yes, Edward. I'll marry you," I answered breathlessly. What else could I say? It was all perfect. Edward, the apology, this night, the proposal. Everything was perfect and filled with the unconditional love Edward had for me. It was amazing. Edward laughed exultantly and slid the ring onto the third finger on my left hand. It was actually kind of heavy on my finger. Edward pulled me on top of him and pressed his lips to mine in elation.
"I'm so glad to have you back Edward," I sighed. "The real you. The one I love and want to spend the rest of my life with."
"What can I say Bella?" he said, a slight teasing edge to his voice. "This is me."
