Long Way Home

Chapter sixteen

Taylor stirred in her sleep as she something cold on her skin, as she opened her eyes. She saw rose petals around her, a smile instantly coming on her lips. Her bed was full of it, candle burning in whole room. She was a little confused who have done it, but then she remembered it was her birthday. 

Of course, edward.

She felt happy just like a kid on christmas morning, excitement was savouring her mind. She went to washroom, changed into something comfortable as she came out. Edward was already leaning against the wall as she came out. He grinned at her, pulled her close and gave her a lingering and sweet kiss.

"Happy birthday my love," He said, she smiled at him. "Thank you, did you do all of this?" She asked, he nodded his head.

"It's pretty," Balloons were scattered everywhere, candles lit on the tables and petals on the bed. A perfect morning to wake up. 

"I'm glad you liked it," Edward said, taking her in his arms, as she embraced him, hiding her face in his chest, as he laughed on her neck. "Do you like it, or is this a little bit cheesy?"

Taylor laughed, shaking her head slightly as she pulled him close and gave him a kiss. "It's perfect, everything that you do is perfect," She said. He giggled, "Now close your eyes, I got you something," Taylor smiled, as she closed her eyes, facing him. He smiled, taking out a box from his pocket, opening and taking out white chain, with E engraved on it. He knew this was too soon, maybe she won't like it but he couldn't see anyone than her. She was the only one who was making him smile in these shitty days and reminding him that this was the life. He placed on her neck, as taylor felt something cold on her neck. 

"Open it," He said as she opened and saw the pendal on her neck. A smile coming on her lips, a blush on her cheeks. 

"Do you like it?" He asked, she look at him and nodded. 

"Then why aren't you saying anything? Is it too soon?" He said, hoping he didn't upset her and on her birthday. 

"No, it isn't that. I just.. this is overwhelming, being here with you, my birthday and this amazing gift. I just.. I can't believe that I'm even being happy you know.. there were days when sadness was overwhelming me, and here are these days when sadness isn't even near me, just because you are my happiness," She told him.

"Thank you for everything," She said.

"Don't be. There are a lot of come, you can thank me later when I will sweep you off your feet and be with you without any worry in this world," He said, he really did sweep off her feet as he carry her, a squeal coming from her lips. He laughed and put her on the bed.

"So is it the time?" Taylor asked. Edward chuckled, "It will be, but for you this will be special, I want this to be special,"

Taylor blushed, looking down as edward look back at her. Her eyes facing the floor, as he pulled her close and pecked her forehead, a beautiful gesture that taylor always adored from him. "Now come on, I ordered special breakfast for you," He said. He took her hand in his, as he pulled her in kitchen where table was already set, with candles, flowers, waffles, eggs and bacon covering most of the table, as edward store the juice in glass for her.
