I can not believe I agreed to this date with Emmett. This is all kinds of wrong, but the tingles were telling me that it was right, while I was being "interviewed". Yeah, I had to emphasize on that...even in my mind.
Something just wasn't adding up though.
I will use tonight to figure out what the hell is going on...not only between us, but I get the feeling I'm out of some sorta loop.
I'm not feeling the butterflies or tingles anymore; I'm not around him to have them though. So, I chalk it up and put it in the back of my head for the time being while I hop in the shower to exfoliate, primp, and preen before he gets here.
Toweling off my body while my hair is wrapped in a separate towel, I trip and stumble my way over to my closet to see what buried treasure I can find for this date.
Moving dress after dress, I finally found the mother of all jackpots hiding on the very last hangar in the back of my closet.
A blood red evening gown with a corset type top, floor length satin skirt with a slit clear up to my hip. Looking toward my shoes, I found the perfect pair of Manolos, blood red, strappy, and 5" heels.
I lay them out on the bed and head over to my jewelry box where I choose my ruby 3 piece set. The earrings are chandeliers with diamonds mixed in with the rubies, same for the necklace, which dips perfectly between my breasts, and a matching anklet. Perfect if I do say so myself.
I plug in my straightening iron, so I can straighten all of my hair and add in curls at the ends. Once all that is done, I grab the ruby and diamond butterfly hair clip to put half of my hair up into a french twist.
I make my eyes smoky, outlining both eyelids with black eyeliner, and finish my look with a deep red lipstick.
The doorbell rings just as I spritz myself with my Night Magic perfume. Grabbing my clutch, I head into the kitchen to grab my license, credit card, and cell phone.
I give myself one last check in the mirror hanging in the foyer, and open up the front door gazing into the deep set dimples of my date for the evening.
"Jesus Bella….you look…." he trailed off as his eyes wandered over my body leaving goose flesh in their wake. "Are you ready?" he asks when he is done eye fucking me and holds out his arm for me.
"Sure, just let me lock up." I state as I close the door behind me, lock the door, and notice I'm not tingling. Instead, I feel like there is a rock settling in my stomach. Something isn't right about this.
I take his proffered arm and he leads me to a huge...hummer. How the hell does he expect me to get in that big tank of a vehicle. I am wearing 5" Manolos….this should be fun.
Em chuckles and snaps me out of my thoughts. "I'll help you uo into her." he states as he places his hands on my waist after opening the door for me. Such a gentleman.
After I'm up in this beast, seatbelt clicked in place, I look over to him as he seats himself in the driver's seat and starts the vehicle...which growls to life under his ministrations.
"So, where are we going that makes me dress to the nines this evening?" I ask as he pulls away from the curb and onto the street.
"Well, you see, I'm meeting a few clients for dinner to broaden our company's horizons." he starts as I cut him off.
"You mean, you are taking me out for the business?" I ask while my temper and anger starts to rise.
"Well, you see, this meeting is only between me, you, and the clients. The CEO of our company has no idea we are having this get together." he adds quietly. "They gave me an offer I just couldn't refuse. I figured if I brought you with me as a buffer, it would run more smoothly. You tend to calm me down and keep me in line." he states as he pulls up to the restaurant.
I gather myself and take a deep breath. Too late to turn back now.
"Ok, I will do this for you, but I want my proper date." I state as a smile slowly forms on his face. "Don't make me regret this Em."
I turn and open my door to get out of this fucker, only to have Em reaching up to grab my waist and help me down, his dimples are out in full effect which causes me to grin in their response.
Once my feet hit solid ground, he takes my hand, kisses the knuckles, and tucks my hand into his elbow to lead me into the restaurant.
When we arrive at the hostess stand, his gives his name and she leads us to a table out on the terrace.
Sitting at the table appears to be a man of spanish origins and a blonde goddess that doesn't even look old enough to drink.
The man stands and greets Em with a handshake and a slap to his shoulder. As he turns to me, he takes my hand into his and kisses my knuckles just like Em did. "My dear, you are positively gorgeous. Your name suits you...Bella. My name is Aro and this is my dear wife Jane." he states as he releases my hand.
Dinner goes by in a blur. I answer menial questions about myself while Em and Aro talk business. I feel like I'm trapped in a cloud. Everything around us is fuzzy, and I can't tell you what was said between Aro and Em. It's almost as if a fly is buzzing in my ear, distorting the conversation completely. The only person I was able to hear clearly was Jane and she did more scowling than talking. I don't know why but I gather she doesn't like me very much. Oh well, her loss.
As their business concludes, Aro and Jane make haste and leave us all alone for the first time since he picked me up.
When I turn and look into Em's eyes, the rock is back. His normally blue eyes are now darker. Almost black. Something isn't right about this and I start trying to figure out how to get out of this restaurant completely intact. My heart starts to beat furiously in my chest. My breaths come quicker. As I'm about to excuse myself to the restroom, the only thing I can see is Em.
I can see through my eyes, but he commands my body. He's put me in some kind of trance.

Perfection. That is what my Guardian is. Pure, unadulterated perfection. I had called her a few hours after she left to inform her that we were going to a fancy restaurant. That way she could dress appropriately. I had to make sure she could pull off every kind of dress available. My Guardian definitely cleaned up well.
I set up the dinner reservations with Aro and Jane, so I could see what sort of read they could pick up from my Guardian. See what sort of insight they could give me.
It was much easier to get her into my clutches, which, as much as it delighted me, also unsettled me.
Something about this time was different. I wasn't sure what it was, which is why I called Aro. He would know more than I about this sort of thing. With one touch, he would gain access to her deepest darkest thoughts.
Dinner went off without a hitch. Jane was mean mugging my Guardian, which I could have done without. Aro continually praised me on her beauty. As dinner was wrapping up, he informed me that he had no access to her mind through touch. This was different from all the other times.
Now, I have no choice but to bind her to me. As we were leaving, I put her in a trance, made her come home with me, and started to exert my influence over her mind. It seemed like it worked, but I wouldn't know until first thing Monday morning.
I wish she would've stayed the night with me...but as it was, my control was hanging on by a thread. As I lay in my bed, I went back over the events which forced me to take her home.
Once I put her in the trance and noticed that it did, indeed work, I led her back out to my hummer. I placed my hands on her waist to put her in the monster, but couldn't help running my hands over her delectable apple shaped ass, groaning out my praise under my breath.
I gently close the door and head around to the driver side, hopping in and forgoing my seatbelt this time. I hit the gas and hurry back to my place, so I can get them out of her head and start to really sweep her off her feet. I want her to see only me.
Pulling up to the front of the building, I toss my keys to the valet and help her out. Maybe I should think about getting a different vehicle...or lowering it to the ground some. That way she doesn't need any help getting in and out of it.
As I tuck her hand into the crook of my arm, I lead her into the complex and straight into the elevator that takes us to my condo on the top floor.
When the doors close, the energy between us crackles and sizzles. I have to touch her. It's not like she can stop me.
I step behind her and wrap my arms around her tiny form, pulling her back into my chest. I move her hair so I can gain access to her neck and slowly place open mouthed kisses from top to bottom, whispering how much I want and need her. Whispering how she was made for me and only me.
When the doors open, I toss her over my shoulders like a sack of potatoes and run to my bedroom, tossing her on the bed. She has yet to make a noise or respond to me.
I slowly crawl up her body, placing worshipping kisses sporadically along her body before I slide my tongue deep into her mouth. She still doesn't respond to me. It's like kissing a dead fish. Something isn't right. She should be responding to me by now.
Looking into her eyes, they are void of emotion...but there is a spark there. I'm not sure what it is, but I have a really bad feeling about this. It's just doesn't make any sense.
I slowly get off of her, pulling her off the bed with me.
"I am terribly sorry for how I just treated you like a common whore. I never meant to go that far. I love you Bella. You are my savior, my protector, My Guardian." I spout off trying not to break down, like a little bitch, from the intense emotions flowing through me. "Come on, I'll take you home." I state as I take her hand in mine and lead her back out of the building and back into my humvee.
I rush her home, and give her a toe curling kiss, that she still doesn't reply to, and leave her to her vices as I make my way back home to prepare the love binding ritual.
I run through the ingredient list, to make sure I have everything I need.
Paper...check
Red Pen...check
Favorite cologne...check
Bowl of cold spring water...check
Salt...check
Sugar...check
Pink candle...check
Blood...check
Friday night...double check
I go ahead and start the spell by writing my name on the top half of the paper and Bella's on the bottom before ripping the page in half so our names are one their own pieces of the paper. I sprayed them both with my favorite cologne and placed them at the bottom of the bowl of spring water. I lit the pink candle next and added a small amount of salt then poured a full cup of sugar into it to make sure she is extra sweet to me. I pricked my finger and added 3 drops of my blood and poured some of the pink wax from the candle into the mixture before starting to stir it all together and chanting the spell 5 times:
"Something salty, something sweet,
This candle burns with roaring heat.
As it burns so doth our love,
I seal this spell with drops of blood.
And as I stir this mix together,
May our souls be bound like leather.
If our love was meant to be,
May she come back-so mote it be."
I stare into the candle for the required 15 minutes thinking only of my love for my Guardian living our happily ever after outside of the darkness. I repeat the chant one last time, and extinguish the candle before turning into bed to get some sleep while I wait it out til Monday when I shall have my Guardian back in my arms, where she will stay for the rest of our existence.

He did it….I can't believe he actually did the Love binding spell between him and Bella. How do I know? I just woke up screaming at the top of my lungs, waking up Jazz in the process.
"Alice, what did you see?" he demands, wanting to know what could cause such a reaction out of me. Before I can tell him everything I saw, my cell phone rings.
I answer without checking the caller Id to hear a timid voice on the other end.
"Alice, it's Bella...I remember. I remember everything."
A/N: This is aushapasha….I know yaga mentioned it above, but I want to say this...spells, curses, magic...I personally won't comment on how I feel about it, but I will say that these things are not to be messed with, and neither Tess nor I are condoning any kind of magic practice. If you decided to do something whacky, don't blame us for the outcome!
