"Promise me..." Bella whispered into Edwards ear, they're bodies moving to the rhythm of the music.
'Will you still love me when I'm no longer, young and beautiful?'
"Promise you what my love?" He pulled back his face, and looked into her eyes. The slight sadness in her eyes made his heart drop the tiniest bit. Bella pulled her lips into a tight line, obviously forcing back tears.
"Promise me... that nor water or fire will destroy our love..." She choked through the tears, which were flowing freely now. Edward stopped they're motion and gave her a serious look.
'I know you will, I know you will. I know that you will'
"Bella... You should not waste your love, onto somebody that does not deserve it." Guilt filling Edwards eyes, as the words fell out of his mouth. Bella instantly took her hands, and cupped his cheeks. Now standing completely still in the middle of the ballroom, as the other couples moved about them.
'Will you still love me when I'm no longer, young and Beautiful'
"Don't you dare... Don't you dare say that to me. I do not care what my father thinks of you or what he says. Edward, you are my sun and stars. The light in my life. We can only hope the day will come when we can truly be together. True, I talk of dreams but our dreams are all we have left. And in those dreams, you are there." Bella cried the words that she spoke. Edward, now moved by Bella's thoughts, picked her up and dipped her slightly.
" You make me wonder Isabella, did my heart love till now? Forswear it sight. I never saw true beauty till this night." Edward leaned down and kissed her lightly on the cheek. Picking her up, Bella let out a chime of laughter.
"You make me blush, sir Edward" Red now flowing openly to her cheeks.
"And may I say, it makes you seem even more beautiful" A smirk creeping onto Edward's face, as he picked up they're dancing again. Moments went by until Bella eventually broke the silence.
"I would like you to know Edward, you not making the promise has not gone unnoticed..." She tilted her head slightly. Edward chuckled, and looked down at the ground.
"I assumed you would not drop the subject" He spoke, still staring intently at their moving feet. The smile on Bella's face faded, a frown replacing it.
"Why do you refuse Edward? I thought you loved me... I'm starting to find that a little unbelievable since you won't make me such a promise..." The growl escaped Bellas lips. Edwards head shot up, his eyes returning to hers.
"I swear to day I die, I will always love you" He shot her a stern look, saying it was not something to joke about.
"Then why can't you make me the promise?" Bella becoming slightly confused. A breath escaped Edwards lips, one he did not know he was holding in.
"I can't promise our love will never die Bella. It is an idea, no human can promise... I want you to understand my love for you is as real as the moon and sun. But there will come a time when the sun will lose its shine, as will the moon... I can't promise the same won't happen to our love. Not promise, but hope." His eyes becoming slightly wet. A stray tear fell from Edwards eye, as Bella reached up and wiped it away with her thumb. They had once again stopped dancing.
'He's my sun, he makes me shine. Like diamonds...'
Bella slowly stood up on her tiptoes, placing her lips on his. The kiss was not filled with lust, but with passion and love; earning stares from others around them.
"Then I shall hope with you..." Bella breathed, against his lips. They both wrapped their arms around each other, holding on to the mere hope they had.
He was her sun, and she was his moon. Both satisfied with being just that.
