Ashley's eyes were still in shock in the familiar face that she was searching for so long. Edward knew that he would find her one day and that day was today and he found her and she looked exactly like he wanted her to look after so long. He took her face in his warm hands and kissed her forehead, she felt like a princess. He then kissed her cheeks, kissed tip of nose and finally pulled her close and attached his lips to her's. She can still feel the fireworks when he kissed her, she can still feel the warmth of cold lips and still see those freckles on his face and she felt safe at home.
"Take me away," She whispered, staring in his brown eyes. He smiled, shaking his head, "Always,"
"I love you edward, so much" She said, before she went in pool of tears, "I know, I know," Edward whispered, as he kissed her again and spin her around.
She laughed, throwing her head as he spinned her around. He stopped and looked in her eyes, those brown eyes were full of happiness and joy which he wanted to see always since she was gone.
He let go of her and got on one knee, she gasped. "I know, I don't deserve to be best boyfriend but I can't let you go, I love you so much Ashley, it's insane how much I am crazy about you, I want to live with you, I want to go everywhere where you will go, and I can't let you go away from me anymore. I will do anything to be with you even if I have to stay on streets, I won't leave your side." He smiled, kissed her hand.
"You made me happy, you made my days less painful. You made me think that I have a future and I could do anything and with your strength I am here today. I love you Ashley, I love you so much. Your love, your smile, your eyes and your hands everything I wanted is here. I don't care how rich you are, I don't care how many boys are after you or how arrogant the media is saying you are. All I know is I know this girl, who smiles so much, laugh with me and really picky in taste of music who kisses me every morning and wait for me and dance with me, something that I have never experienced before. Being with you like I am a bird that is only flying higher and higher with you,"
Ashley smiled, tears in her eyes as she holded his hands and kissed him. She smiled and laughed, as he tickled her. She laughed and laughed and he couldn't believe that finally he was here with her, with her laughs, smiles, eyes and her love.
Sun turned to moon, mid day turn to dawn, sunrise turn to sunset, strangers turn to lovers and her life from sadness to happiest. She could still not believe he was here, it was like a dream that has finally come to truth.
Just as she was disbelieving everything, her gaze went to her parents who were coming towards her with anger and rage in their eyes. Ashley let go of Edward, as she got up.
"Ashley, you have to come with us," Said his father, as he took her hand.
"No dad, please" She said, looking back at edward, he jumped in front of his dad. "Excuse me sir, please. Don't take her away from me anymore, please"
Her dad snorted, "She doesn't belong with you, she belongs here, at a big house, with maids around her, her life is here, not with u in a crappy apartment, with your scumbag job and foods eaten out of boxes but here with silverware and life and glamour,"
Ashley pushed her dad, let go of his hand, she laughed. "Glamour, Life," She started to laugh.
"That is not a life dad, that is basically a torture for me. With edward, I had a life, a life where I can go wherever I want, his love for me what I lived for. His job, that house is what I always want for myself. With him, I feel loved, I feel I belong there not here where everything is forced on you. Me and edward belong together, in that beautiful sunny apartment and beautiful city. I don't belong here where I can't even breathe on my own."
