-1I don't own any of Stephanie Meyer's work I just like tweaking it (NOTICE AT THE END!!)
Edward's POV
I tried to convince Alice and Rosalie not to go into the boutique, I smelled Isabella's scent from a block away but there was no changing Alice's mind. "Sorry!" Isabella said when she bumped in to Rosalie leaving the shop. "Isabella your highness we are so sorry." Alice said, Rosalie just frowned.
"Its just Bella and I'm a klutz its not your fault." Bella explained. Her blush was still visible and I couldn't help but stare. "What's the dress for?" Alice asked peeking into the garment bag. "Oh, tomorrow is my 18th birthday. I'm having a lunch with royalty from a neighboring kingdom, and decided to buy myself an early birthday present." she said sullenly.
Alice's mind was racing but before I could stop her she spoke. "Well, since it's your birthday tomorrow would you like to go out tonight with Edward, Jasper, and me?" I now knew why Alice had kept her mind so guarded today well the damage had be done
"We would love to have you hang out with us." I said playing along and shooting Bella a dazzling crooked smile. "Umm… uh w-well I… sure yeah that would be fun." Bella said stumbling over her words and blushing a deep scarlet. "Well how about we meet you at the fountain in the square at 7 then?" I offered. "A-alright, I'll see you then." Bella stuttered.
"We'll we'd love to chat some more but we really have to go find some more stuff for tomorrow before it gets too late." Bella's friend said pushing the brunette out the door.
Bella's POV
The next few hours seemed to drag by. Jessica and I finished finding my accessories for the next day and went home. After a dinner I hardly tasted I went upstairs to redo my make up and maybe change my shirt for the evening out. "Can you believe we actually saw him?" Jessica said excitedly "and you two are going out tonight."
"Its not anything like that, right? I mean, how could someone like him like someone as plain as I am?" I asked blushing a bit. "Umm, please note you are a princess!" Jessica pointed out laughing. "Well then what should I wear?" I said finishing applying some silver eye shadow. "Blue again, he seemed to like it. How about your royal blue sleeveless v neck with the ties up the sides and a silver lace tank top underneath. With your light blue skinny jeans and silver flats."
"Alright," I said changing into the clothes she had chosen. It was 6:30pm. "What if he doesn't like me?" I stalled. "What's not to like, you are beautiful, fun, and kind. Stop worrying you look gorgeous !" Jessica said and ordered me to leave the castle.
I walked off the grounds and into the city mesmerized by the lights and I walked to the fountain glowing with the changing color lights. "It's really beautiful." I sighed to myself. "Yes, you are." I jumped at the melodic voice behind me and the breath that had tickled my ear. I turned to see Edward behind me and Alice giggling her hand entangled with Jasper's a few feet back.
"You scared me!" I said blushing my heartbeat still racing. "I'm sorry you were just so vulnerable" Edward said gazing into my eyes with his golden ones. "Are we going to go or what?" Alice called. Edward and I fell into step with Alice and Jasper and we proceeded into the city.
"Where are we going?" I asked noticing all the people staring at us. "We heard there was a club called Moonlight in the center of the city and decided to take you there" Jasper explained. "Oh no." I said "What is it?" Alice asked looking concerned. "Oh, it's just that I'm a horrible dancer." I said looking down at my feet. "Don't worry, Edward can teach you!" Alice said with a smirk, Edward tensed beside me.
The next thing I knew we were standing in front of the club. We could hear the bass thumping from outside of the door and before I knew it Alice had ushered us through the doors and over to a secluded table in a corner.
Alice and Jasper stayed at the table for a while and Edward took my hand. "Let's go dance." he whispered in my ear. I only nodded and followed him to the edge of the dance floor. Once we were there he put his hand on my hips. "Ok do you have the beat?" he asked. "Yeah" I replied. "Ok, just move your hips to the beat and we'll go from there." he said moving a little closer to me.
I didn't know when it happened but within the next two minutes I was able to keep the beat and I found myself grinding against a Greek god. I could feel his cool skin against mine and is breath against my neck. Then the song changed. Its was slow, I found my arms sliding around his neck and his strong arms were wrapped around my waist.
We swayed to the music all the while I inhaled his sweet scent. I looked up into his topaz eyes that were boring into my brown ones. All of a sudden I felt a pair of cool lips against mine. I almost melted on the spot but I pulled away.
"Edward, I'm sorry I just can't." I said walking back toward the table to get my jacket. He grabbed my hand and stopped me. "Why not, I love you." he asked looking confused and hurt. "I- I'm in an arranged marriage, I'm meeting him tomorrow there's nothing I can do about it!" I said starting off towards the door "I'm sorry, really I am because I love you too!" I said running out of the club before Edward could see the tears pouring from my eyes.
