I Promise

I had been away on a business trip for a week in London scouting for new talent for my record company. It was the longest week of my life. I haven't been away from Alice this long in quite some time and I'm missing her a great deal. But I have to confess something; my reason for coming here wasn't solely based on business. I had a ring custom made for Alice it was a light blue and white (almost the color of her eyes) princess cut diamond. One Medium sized one in the middle with a smaller one on each side. Three total, one for each year that we have been together.
I must have called Rosalie from the plane at least a thousand times making sure everything was in order or for last minute details that I thought of. I knew she was getting aggravated with me just by the way she kept answering the phone but I needed everything to be perfect. I was only going to do this once in my life and it had to be perfect, it had to be with Alice. I have known for quite some time that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her; she consumes my every thought, my reason for breathing, and my entire existence.
As my plane starts it's descend my nerves kick into over drive. I must have checked my pocket more times than I could count just to run my fingers over the black velvet box. To say I was nervous was an understatement; I Bella Swan was sweating bullets.

Rosalie was at the baggage claim waiting patiently for me. I run up to her and embraced her in a big hug.

Bella: Hey Rose
Rosalie: Hey B
Bella: Rose, I can't thank you enough for everything that you have done for me, for us. It really means a lot to me. Thank you.
Rosalie: No thanks necessary B, your first born should do just fine (laughing).
Bella: I'm not too sure that will fly with Alice (laughing).
Rosalie: Come on let's get you engaged shall we.
Bella: (with a deep breath) yeah, I'm ready.

I was meeting Alice at the restaurant. I had made the reservations before I left for London. The taxi pulled up to the restaurant as I was getting out I caught a glimpse of her through the window. She was so beautiful; I don't know when I was deemed lucky enough to have her in my life. I still ask myself that question every day, and sometimes I give my arm a little pinch just to make sure I'm not dreaming. I run my fingers over the ring in my pocket one last time for the night take a deep breath and walk onwards towards my new life. The door chimes as I step in making Alice look up. We lock eyes instantly and in that moment I knew it was right, I knew I couldn't stand not looking into those eyes for the rest of my life.
Alice was on her feet in the blink of an eye as I walked up to the table. She had the biggest smile on her face, more than likely mirroring my own.

Alice: Hey baby
Bella: Hey you

I couldn't help myself I needed to feel her lips; it has after all been a week. I ran my hands up her neck resting them behind her ears, pulling her face towards mine. The minute our lips connected it felt like the very first time, it was soft and slow showing the other that she was missed. We kept it PG-13 we were surrounded by people in a family based restaurant, we know the limits. Pulling apart she laid her forehead against mine, just taking in the moment that was just shared between us.

Bella: I've missed those lips
Alice: Mmm, always the charmer I see
Bella: (giggling let's eat)

Dinner went great, she told me about her latest fashion show she was working on and I told her about the talent in London and potential signers I found for the label. We finished up dinner while stealing silent glances at one another.

Bella: hey Alice, you want to go for a walk on the beach like old times?

Alice: Yeah, the beach sounds nice baby.

We walked hand in hand down the pier and out into the sand.

Alice: Baby, I want to take my shoes off. I love the feel of the sand in-between my toes.
