Chapter One: Smile

You said hey
What's your name
It took one look
And now I'm not the same
Yeah you said hey
And since that day
You stole my heart
And you're the one to blame
Yeah
And that's why I smile
It's been a while
Since every day and everything has
Felt this right
And now you're turning all around
And suddenly you're all I need
The reason why I smile

Edward told me to make myself look pretty tonight. I put on some dark lipstick on and my white and pink cocktail dress. He told me we were going to go to Ricardo’s where we first met. We usually go to Ricardo’s on July 10th, the day we met. I loved Ricardo’s. It had beautiful décor, but it wasn’t exactly…fancy and snooty. He got a table quickly, even though it was a Saturday and Saturdays were what the business ran on. After ordering, Edward and I talked a while about…everything. He was in the Army and had to go to Iraq sometime soon. I hated when he leaved, especially whenever Clarence got to calls of our soldiers who would not be returning home alive. Clarence was a small town in Minnesota, where we had gone to college. I was a substitute, at 21 and loved it. I still had one more year of substituting to go, until I got my own class. I wanted to teach any age of kids, preferably Elementary, but any age would work.
Suddenly the lights went dim, and Edward stood up. I expected him to be going to say something to the owner. But, Edward got down on one knee and got out a little box. “Wha?” I was stunned as I felt tears go down my cheeks. “Edward.” I was breathless, as he opened the box. A beautiful ring shimmered.
“Isabella Marie Swan. I love you more than anything in the world. I want to settle down with you and have children and be with you forever. I want to wake up beside you. Would you do me the honors of marrying me?” I nodded. Everyone around us applauded as I kissed him full on the lips, lovingly. “Oh Edward!!” He put the ring on my ring finger. “It looks beautiful on you.”
After dinner he took me home and we made love. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever done before. And being with him, was more amazing. “Did you tell anyone?” I asked as he kissed me everywhere, my stomach fluttering. “I asked your father for permission.” he said breathless. I was engaged. “Edward…I…I never want you to leave me.” He kissed me again, this time on the cheek. “I love you…” he kissed on my forehead and lay back against the headboard. “Smile.” I giggled and laid my head up against his chest. “Promise never to leave me.” I said yawning. “I promise.”
Edward’s P.O.V:
About a month later…
Everyone knew about Bella and I, and they weren’t surprised at all. Emmett and Rosalie were beyond ecstatic. Alice, was the nut job. I already knew we couldn’t escape that. My sister, the crack case had already decided the flowers, cake flavor, and bridesmaid dresses colors. Bella had tried shooing her off, but this was my crazy sister’s expertise area. She was a wedding planner, but that did not mean I wanted her planning my entire wedding. I mean, sure, we wouldn’t have to pay her more than like a gazillion dollars, but she was a little over obsessed with picking out the cake and dresses herself. Bella had told her the wedding was to be in Springstein field, where there were beautiful flowers. The reception was at my parents’ house, where Alice (thank god) would be left in charge of cleaning up, and setting up. Bella had also told her the date: July 21st, the day I finally had the guts to ask her out. Rosalie, was a hairstylist, so she would be in charge of Bella’s makeup and hair. Things so far were running smooth as butter. There was about 3 months before the wedding, plenty of time to get ready all the important and not-so-important (but don’t tell Alice this) details.
I got a call last night saying I was too go to the Army send off base. So, today I took the Volvo and went there. James and Laurent, my friends were there as well. Our base supervisor, Logan was there with about 30 other people. “Alright, men. I am so sorry to tell you this. But, you are all going to have to go to Iraq, our men need back up pronto, and we do not have the time to make it fit into everything. I understand your wife may be having a birthday or anything else, but we need you. You leave in 4 days, so get all your gear ready and meet us on Friday for take-off.” Laurent was sitting beside me. “N-n-n-no…this is not good, Tanya won’t give me Victoria if I am not there for so long.” James was rubbing his hair back, because it was flying, due to the fan in the room. “Crap, crap, CRAP!! I was just sent back. Now, they need me for back up?” “I’m getting married.” I said. “What?” James asked surprised. “You finally asked her?” I nodded and said, “Yup.” I popped the ‘p’ at the end. “When?” “July 21st.” “Good for you.” James said getting up. “4 days.” I whispered. “4 days.”
“Bella…I have something I need to tell you.”
