Royally Arranged

Chp 8 Piano Sheets

Bella's POV

I flipped from bullshit pages to another and threw the magazine away.

Huffing, I leaped back to my bed, snuggling in my covers. Suddenly, someone knocked on my door and sang.

" Do you wanna build a snowman?" I immediately got up and twister the door knob open.

" it doesn't have to be a sno- Oops!" He groaned and fell flat on my legs when I opened the door.

" Uhm. Hi." I said awkwardly to Emmet. " hi." He said sheepishly and got up, brushing some dust off his shoulders. " Is that-Uhm. Suppose to be funny?" I asked, biting my lip.

He chuckled nervously, reminding me of Edward's nervous chuckles. " yeah- anyway, momma baked pancakes for parade day today, breakfast time!" He hollered at the end. I cupped my ears and nodded at him. He grinned, ruffled my hair like a big brother and walked away.

Well, that's interesting. I thought mentally and closed the door, giggling to myself.

When the door had been knocked again, I quickly scrambled to there and open it before he could sing again.

" don't sing Emmet, it's useless." I sighed and opened fully at the door. I was expecting Emmet's huge bulky muscled body but I was greeted by a less huge, less bulky figure in front of me. Slowly, I looked up and saw Edward grinning like a Cheshire Cat,

" Do I really look like Em?" He asked playfully, inviting himself in and closed the door while I kept my eyes on him.

" Umm. No. It's just something Emmet did." I mumbled and he raised his eyebrow. " what did he do?" He asked, amused. I sighed and explained. " he started singing just now... It's a long story."

He threw his head back and laughed. " That's Emmet. He's the big jokester in the house." " and a big prankster," I mumbled. He laughed again, taking one of my hand.

" So why are you in my room?" I asked, confused. He looked amused by my question again, playing with my hair with one hand and another holding my hand.

" can't I?" He asked, brushing a strand of hair out of my eyesight. " we are engaged remember?" He reminded me playfully and I made a face at him.

" go away, I want to change my clothes." I shooed at him, snatching my hand back for the gesture which he found interesting at.

He ignored it and surprised me by hugging me. " Hm... Why don't you change in the bathroom while I wait for you here?" He murmured, stroking softly at my hair. I was about to protest but he cut me off. " Please beautiful girl?" He asked gently, without his eyes, he still succeed to dazzle me without any problem.

" don't peek," I murmured and left his embrace and went to the bathroom and locked the door, leaning on it, I breathed heavily. " Wow." I sighed in happiness and bit the bottom of my lip, smiling.

I am so in love.

Changing into some decent clothes- as quick as possible in the only way to meet Edward soon-, I scrambled out to the closet and apply some make-up to look more girly as Esme says.

" No lipstick," he mumbled, pushing them away from my hands. " why?" I pouted. " that's stopping me from kissing you." He smiled, helping me up to my feet with the killer heels.

I was dressed formally for the parade occasion Carlisle has held every year of this day. This year was to present me, the new Princess of US. Edward had been alone in his carriage all these years but with me this year, loneliness doesn't exist anymore in his heart-as he would always say to me-.
