BPOV

The evening started off well, Alice had planned everything down to the last detail, with mental schedules to make sure that everyone danced and gambled bringing the party to life. Carlisle and Esme stayed in the ballroom to talk to the guests, while jasper and Alice stayed in the casino room winning money of the guests, I guess seeing the future does have its benefits. Me and Edward moved from room to room never parting even when people were pushing and pulling him to say happy birthday, we remained inseparable. We had just moved into the ballroom to talk to some people when I noticed Alice waving at me trying to get my attention. She swiftly moved to my side, and then she quickly said

"Edward, I haven't seen you dance with anyone yet. Why don't ask Esme to dance I am sure she wants too, plus the birthday boy needs to show people how it's done"

Edward looked at me with eyes asking for my permission for him to leave, "Go Edward I'll be fine, I've got Alice here to keep me from preventing trouble"

"Very well Bella, I'll be right back" with a soft kiss on my lips he walked towards Esme asking like a Hollywood gentleman, Carlisle's permission to dance with Esme; with a soft nod Edward and Esme walked to the middle of the floor and started to waltz to all the time in the world by Louis Armstrong, they looked so graceful like Fred Astaire and ginger Rogers. Suddenly I was distracted by Alice pulling on my arm to follow her to the corner of the room; "ok Bella, everything is set for your plan tonight. Me and Rosalie have taken care of all the preparations".

"are you sure that it will go ok?" I had to ask to give myself more confidence, even though it gave me shivers knowing that Alice could see everything that would happen tonight, before I even knew what was going to happen.

Alice beamed a wide smile at me, "Bella trust me, he will have the best night of his life now don't forget the plan and have fun tonight" she suddenly looked over my shoulder smiled and left my side. I turned around to find Edward's face inches from mine, wearing that crooked smile that took my breath away, "Care to dance, love?"

"Edward you know I can't dance, I'll just end up stacking it and hurting someone"

"You won't because you're with me and how will you know if you don't try, Bella please for me?" he said it with such pleading in his eyes knowing that I would surrender to his charm. We walked onto the floor hand in hand with everyone staring at us. He slowly placed his hand on my waist and took my right hand in his left. Suddenly a familiar song started to play; it was my lullaby that Edward had written for me when we first met. The tune ran through me like lightning causing me to drown out everyone around me except Edward. Everything seemed perfect; I was in my own little world with man I loved. The music seemed to go on forever then I heard the music stop,

"Bella love you did it, you were dancing without a single fault. You were amazing" he softly kissed me with such happiness and passion I almost fainted.

"I danced without falling over really? Oh I didn't even realise we were moving I was in my own little world with only you" then I noticed Carlisle holding a video camera, "did Carlisle film that?"

"Yeh he has been filming the whole night. oh Bella, this has been the best birthday ever cause I got to spend it with everyone I love especially you" I could feel myself becoming overcome with various emotions especially lust and a strange kind of aching developing between my legs, I had to tell myself to wait just a little longer to stop myself from jumping him there and then. It was 1am before all the guests had gone Alice and jasper were seeing them off with Esme and Carlisle while Rosalie tended to Emmett; Emmett had been so stubborn to enter a drinking contest with some footballers from school, of course Emmett had never drunk before and due to him not eating human food went straight to his head. It was very funny he couldn't speak straight and Edward said his thoughts were very confusing to interpret, but his actions weren't Rosalie had to stop him from stripping in front of the guests and stop him from fucking her in the middle of the room. I must admit Emmett could always be counted on to provide extra entertainment; me and Edward started to clean up and were later joined by the rest of the family who helped us finish cleaning up. Once done we all collapsed in the living room to relax from a hard nights work; then Alice with a large smile got up and turned to face us

"I've got an idea why don't we play a game "

Carlisle looked at us and we nodded, "ok Alice what do you have in mind?"

"Well I've been thinking why don't we play hide and seek" she looked at me a winked subtly

"But with a twist, we all have to pick a character from James bond out of a hat and use that name as an alias, then we pick pairs out of a hat and those pairs have to find one another".

Edward looked at me and then to Carlisle, "sounds great Alice, but we've got odd amounts of people to play"

"I am sure Rosalie won't mind sitting out for one game then I will swap with her"

Edward just looked at Alice, staring at her with confusion like he was trying to figure out what she was up too, causing me to become slightly nervous which jasper picked up on and resolved very quickly. I looked at him and smiled to thank you, and then he just winked at me to signal to me it would alright. I sighed deeply which made Edward nervous, "are you ok love?

I quickly smiled and thought of a cover up, "yeh I'm fine just I'm terrible at hide and seek, who ever gets me will find me easily". Edward smiled lightly and mischievous, "who ever gets you will be a lucky bastard". Wow that took me by surprise Edward never talked like that, it was very sexy which caused the ache between my legs to develop even further, could not wait to put my plan in action. Alice wrote some names on pieces of paper and placed them into a hat she then handed them out randomly to each of us, when she came to me she subtly winked and handed me the piece of paper. Each of us took in turns to read out our characters name Carlisle called out his with a laugh, " Dr No, how appropriate", Esme read out hers with a hint of amusement "miss moneypenny, wow what a character". Next came jasper who had Ernst Blofeld, that was a funny name for a character; Alice had Mayday which she shouted like a giggly girl. Then it came to Edward who opened his and smiled like a little boy at Christmas, "well I must be a lucky boy, I am James Bond. Come on Bella who are you?" I carefully opened my piece of paper to read the name upon it; as I read it my face began to blush deep read in embarrassment

"Bella are alright?"

"Yeh Edward I am fine just a bit embarrassed"

"Why, what's wrong?" he said it with such concern it broke my heart to see him like that.

"I am the character. Oh my god I can't believe I am going to say this, I am Pussy Galore". I looked around to see a hint of amusement on my boyfriend's face and his family. Which sent my embarrassment sky high; I so did not need this before seducing Edward. Alice then put the names back in the hat and mixed them to pull out the pairs. Of course I knew she would put me with Edward as it was part of our plan, Alice went with Carlisle to make it not seem suspicious and Esme with Jasper. We then separated into our couples to discuss who was to hide and find. I turned to Edward and quickly said, "I wanna hide" Edward raised his eyebrow and looked at me, "Bella, I thought you said you were terrible at hiding"

I quickly had to make up a reason for why I wanted to hide so badly, I couldn't exactly tell him why. "I...er... want to hide hide because it makes me feel like a kid again and although I am bad at it, it is still very fun to do" I could see he wasn't convinced, then I used the one weapon that he could not resist I walked up to him and put my hands on his chest; I then looked up into his eyes longingly, "Pleeeaaassseee Edward let me hide, just this once". I could see I was winning when his mouth started too curled up into my favourite crooked smile, "ok Bella, you can hide. You didn't have to beg me to let you. Although I love it when you beg your eyes glow which melts my cold, solid heart" with that I kissed him whole heartedly on the lips and ran to hide.

I ran to hide in the casino room where Alice had set everything out, just as planned. There were candles lit around the room to provide a romantic atmosphere which calmed my nerves just a little. The long, red, thick curtains had been drawn to allow for privacy and to allow the candles to be the only light in the room and red rose petals covered the floor leading out to the hall for Edward to follow. I pushed the door closed with the slightest gap open and walked over to the ipod dock that Alice had kindly provided. I then switched one of the most romantic James Bond songs I could find; then walked over to the roulette table which I climbed onto to get into position for when Edward arrived. I laid across the table relaxing on my left elbow to allow the slit on the right side of my dress to reveal most of my leg. I waited patiently for Edward to arrive, my heart rate becoming faster and faster with each passing moment. Suddenly I heard footsteps outside in the hall, my heart almost leaped out of my chest and my breathing became heavier; I had to try and pull myself together this was all for Edward the man I loved in everyway possible and this was my chance to prove it to him, with that my confidence was boosted and my heart rate became steady and relaxed. I heard footsteps coming closer and closer. The door opened.
