I hugged everyone who was there � the Blacks and my family � and ate breakfast, or lunch. We sat down on the living room waiting for the late afternoon to arrive. Jacob had the idea to throw a party on his mansion just because of my birthday. That wasn�t a good signal.After reencountering with the twins and exchanging a few experiences, we headed to the big mansion, which was now covered in pink and purple. Pink roses and candles, violets, it was all a nightmare. Some of the guests had already arrived when our car stopped. Jacob and I were the last ones to descend, making it look like a big deal.Every guest was greeted, attended and entertained. Women gossiping, men making jokes about men things, such as races, economy and sports. �Young� ladies like me, were gathering around, most o f them searching for a husband. The dance floor was almost full with couples dancing.I spotted Angela approaching me with Ben�Bella! Happy Birthday!� she hugged me tightly leaving Ben�s hand for a second to then grab it again �You look so pretty, I�ve missed you for a while. Are you ready for the wedding?�Jacob threw her a warning look. I nodded �As ready as I can be��Yes, I wish you could be my maid of honor you know, but my mother wanted my horrible cousin Christina to be the one� she and Ben winced�I couldn�t choose my best man either, since the bride�s parents are paying everything� they want cousin Michael to be the best man� Ben sighed�Wait a second, Michael, Michael Newton?� he nodded and frowned. I winced �I met him long ago�Angela chuckled �Charming isn�t he?��Yes, as charming as a rat� I felt Jacob�s shake of laughter beside me and Angela said �Well if you excuse us, we will go for a waltz�We nodded and they left us alone, again. Our parents were taking business with other people. Rachel was somewhere looking for a date with her sister�s help Rebecca.Luckily enough, or so I liked to think of me, Jacob was with me the whole party. Literally, when I wanted to go to the bathroom, he would�ve followed me inside if the door didn�t say �Ladies�. We talked a lot, he forced me to, because usually he talked, I listened. Questions and questions were becoming annoying and silences he wanted me to fill, which I did.�So Bella, I wonder what do you do every day, I never get to know�I bit my lower lip �Nothing special, I just go around for a walk, or to buy things for my mother. You know, sometimes I get very bored� I lied easily; I had always memorized my answer if he asked something like that. �I have no idea what to do anymore; I have already finished all my books�He raised his eyebrows �Where they good? I always thought reading was as bad as gossip, I mean why do we read about other people�s life for Christ Sake? We have our own.�I raised an eyebrow �They are stories! Like fairytales; you read it, and you feel like you are inside! You can feel whatever they are feeling, you cry and laugh along with the characters, like you can travel to that moment�He rolled his eyes �Yes, that�s why they steal your soul. Any way, you won�t have to worry of being bored for much long��Oh really? Are you buying me a clothes store now?� I asked sarcasticallyHe looked around, ignoring me �Want to dance?� he exaggerated the gentleman tone, making me giggle. I instantly covered my mouth because Madame had told us that giggling was improper, linked my arm with his to mix with the dancing crowd. The earlier conversation forgotten, holding grudges was not my talent.We danced a lot, both of us almost sweating, despite the cold. Angela smiled to me when we passed by them and then shot Jake a strange smile. What was with them?I reminded myself most of the party the same sentence Date with Edward tonight, Date with Edward tonight the song he had composed still glued to my memory. Suddenly, the dance floor was getting emptier; all the couples went to sit down, or for a drink leaving us completely alone. The music stopped so did we. I looked around and panicked. Everyone was staring at us, my stomach felt weird, I didn�t like to be the center of attention.I heard the silence (ironic xD) and felt the glares from the younger girls. All that weren�t good signs, my instincts told me that I should leave as soon as possible. I had a feeling of what was going to happen and I didn�t like the odds. He let me go for a second � I even considered running away � then whispered my name and get in one knee. I started to shake when he smiled at me opening the small black box.�My dear� His black eyes seemed clearer than ever �I love you so much, I will always, and I want to be with you the rest of my life� will you be my wife?�From the corner of my eye, I saw Charlie and Renee smiling holding hands tightly. I couldn�t erase those smiles. And I didn�t want to hurt Jake there with that entire crowd. Despite my love towards Edward, which was slightly bigger, I loved Jacob too. I didn�t even know if Edward felt the same way about me. So, the question was: Should I refuse Jacob�s proposal? And the answer was one simple word.�Yes� I breathed �I will be your wife�He grinned �Thank you so much Bella. Right now, I am the happiest man alive� with that he slide the sparkling ring � I didn�t have to see it to know it was expensive � on my third finger. Then stood up and kissed me so sweetly, that my anger was almost relaxed. The guests cheered and applauded, I held back my frustration tears.�I always knew you would do the right thing sweetie� my mom whispered from behind me �You will see, Jacob is going to be the best husband for you��I know, mom� I sighed �Can we leave now? You know how much I hate parties�She smiled warmly �Yes, but first say goodbye. I will be with your father in the car�My body relaxed. I said goodbye to everyone, they congratulated me. Jacob gave me a quick peck on the lips, which bothered me �Is the lady of honor leaving already?��Jacob, see you tomorrow, yes? Really I am tired please continue the party without me�It was easy skipping parties. Everybody knew I hated them, and worst when I was the center of it. Angela gave me a big hug and we left.xOxIt took a while until my parents fell asleep; I was half an hour late. Being very, very careful descending the tree, I numbly walked to the meadow. I could barely think about the path, I was much too concentrated on what was I going to say to Edward. When I finally found it.When he saw me, his mouth was about to say something but I cut him �Please don�t say �happy birthday� again, I am tired of hearing it today�He grinned �How was your seventeenth anniversary party?�I stiffened.
