Bella
I was walking across the room with my mother to go have a dance with Jacob Black.
We have only talked once or twice. But I really don't have much in common with him. He is a nice gentlemen, yes, but sometimes he makes me feel awkward.
In truth I didn't understand why he had to have my mother come get me for him. Why couldn't he come himself?
Roaslie and Alice don't like him very much. They say he is to cocky and that I deserved better.
Emmet only likes him because my father and his likes him. Jasper says that he will be very wealthy one day, and with my money and his combined, we will be powerful.
Well HE will be powerful.
I know that the power wouldn't go to me at all. I was indeed a woman after all. Right?
When Jacob started to pull me into the dance, he started talking. About himself. Rosalie and Alice are right, he is cocky. And selfcentered.
"...If everything goes well, I will be richer than ever. Life is wonderful isn't? So many women want me..." Wow seriously? This guy is annoying me now. And my father wants me to marry him? I mean seriously! No wonder Alice and Rosalie stayed away from him. He too is older than me. He is actually a year younger than Alice.
Just then someone taped Jacob on the shoulder, "May I cut in?" It was one of the masked man. But not any one of them. It was him.
Jacob was about to protest when I moved away from Jacob and curtised. He looked really mad, and didn't even bow. The masked man was smirking and Jacob's retreating figure.
Then he looked at me. And I saw the most beautiful eyes ever.
Green, emerald like.
I had to crane my neck to look up at him, he was so tall!, "If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss." he said, with out hesitating. While lifting up my hand to place a light kiss on it.
I giggled realizing he was quoting Romeo and Juliet. My favorite play.
I raised an eyebrow at him. I decided to play along. Besides, I know this scene by heart.
"Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hands too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss." For some reason it felt like someone else was saying these lines for me. I did not know why, but it felt like this had already happened for real, here, in the exact spot.
He continued with Romeo's lines, "Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?" He pulled me into him so it looked like we were dancing. We were just going circles.
I felt my cheeks start to heat up, "Ay, pilgrim, lips that they use in prayer." I smirked at him. I felt as if these were my own words that I was saying, and they weren't quotes from a play.
"O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;" he wants to kiss me? "They pray-grant thou, lest faith turn to despair." He was about to lean in to kiss me but i took a step back without leaving his arms.
He has to be joking. I didn't notice at first, but we had begun to dance. Moving across the floor a bit slow. I looked up at him sort of out of breath, "Saints do not move, though grant for prayer's sake."
His smile was so wide, it light up his whole face, I did not get it at first until... "Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take. Thus from my lips, my sin is purged."
Then he leaned in and kissed me. I didn't think about it, but I kissed him back. It was like an electric current passing through us.
Then he pulled away, both our breathes a little labored. I spoke, "Then have my lips the sin that they have took."
I laughed softly his forehead pressed against mine. "Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again."
I giggled, then he kissed me again. After he pulled away, I now leaned my forehead against his again, "You kiss by th' book"
We were both grinning crazy grins. Then someone tugged on my arm. "B, your mother is looking for you!" It was Alice. I smiled at her, then I looked at the masked man.
I was about to tell him to wait for me, I heard my mother, and I moved away.
When she gets mad...
Edward
The beautiful angel started walk away, answering to someone calling from the distance, then I pulled on her friends arm to ask, "Who is her mother?" I didn't want to ask her her friends name, because then it would seem werid that I didn't know her name by now.
"Her mother is that lady of the house." she smiled a tiny smile then went after her friend.
Who now i knew that her name was Isaabella. Isabella Swan.
The daughter of my enemy.
"She is a Swan? Who is playing tricks on me? With me and my love?" I cannot believe I am in love with my enemy. But I cannot leave her out of my heart now.
I stood there frozen for a long while. I just kept looking at her as she was talking to her mother. Even though I knew she was my enemy I still thought her to be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I didn't realize what time it had become until Ben came up to me and said. "Hey! Edward! I think we should go it is growing late." Ben said, Mike was next to him.
I nodded in agreement. Words seemed impossible right now. We walked to the door when Mr. Swan himself stopped us.
"Why are you leaving so suddenly guests? Won't you stay a little while longer with us?" He actually upset to see us part his party.
I shook my head, "I apologize sir, but it getting late, and we must be headed home." I smiled a gentle mile. Unless you want me to make out more with your daughter...
He nodded and hoped us a safe trip home. We thanked him. If only he knew who we really were... He would not be thanking us at all.
Mr Swan
I knew that Edward was here. And I didnot mind the thought of my enemies son beinging at my party. I knew from the town that Edward was a well repected young man and was well tempered and no one eveer complained about him. I just wish that my nephew could see that. He is the one that noticed edward in the beginning.
"UNCLE! Look! There is that evil villain Edward!" Emmet shouted at me. He I knew was saying this because Edward was in love with Rosalie. Oh dear...
"Now Emmet, let him alone. I do not want any trouble from you!" I said to him. I hoped that would at least calm him down. He always listens to me...
"I will not endure him Uncle!" I shouted at me.
He disobeyed me?
I was fuming now
"Leave Emmet! NOW! I will not endure your behavior, and your rudeness towards Edward. Leave now!" I yelled at him. I didn't want him causing anymore trouble right now..
I didn't want Isabella to have to witness her cousin in a fight. She would be very frightened by this and I didn't want my only child, my only joy, to have to see her cousin either be killed or watch him to kill someone else. I couldn't allow it.
Emmet left angered and I had a very bad feeling about it. I didn't act on it though. I noticed Edward and his friends leaving. I want to properly say goodbye. TO let them know that I had not minded them coming to my home uninvited.
Bella
I still did not know his name. I had kissed and yet I still didn't know his name. As I noticed him leaving, I asked Alice, "Whom is that man? Do we know him?" I asked in a curious voice. I could tell she thought that I only cared because they have masks on. She thought for a minute then frowned.
Alice shook her head. "That is Edward Cullen." She made a tisking noise. "He and his friends came to crash our party and..." I didn not hear the rest.
Cullen? No. It can't be.
My only love sworn as my only hate? What angel above would play such a cold trick on me. I have not done anything wrong. But somehow I am thankful for this angel who has a twisted sense of humor.
I excused myself from Alice, and ran by the balcony window. I looked down and saw him leaving. He looked up to where I was standing.
He knows.
I can tell just by his expression. But in there I still see love. I still see the way he looked at me before in his expression.
I looked at him with somewhat of the same expression. Letting him know that I know now who he is. And that I don't care. Then he slightly smiled.
I smiled a small smile back.
I watched him leave.
When I couldn't see him anymore I went inside to go get changed. I was going to have a long sleepless night tonight.
When I got to my room, Rosalie and Alice were looking a little upset while talking on my bed.
THen they looked up at me. And for some reason there smiles vanished.
"Bella..." Rosalie said.
Oh no she was using that tone. What had happened? Had she seen me with Edward, the man that she thought had loved her only a few hours? Was she mad that I was with him?
"We need to talk to you..." Now Alice too?
What was going on...
Edward
I was going to leave with my cousin and friend. But I left them to go by the wall of the Swan house hold.
I wasn't going to let this one get away from.
Not this time.
