Edward led me into a room much bigger than the one before. Hand in hand, we walked through the door. I've never had much experience with boyfriends and boys in the past. I wasn't a very pretty girl or very sociable so this is probably why I never had any boyfriends. But even though I'd had no experience, I knew Edward was something special. We weren't even boyfriend and girlfriend, but he loves me, we hardly know anything about each other, but if I know I love him despite his flaws, if he even has any. To me, he was flawless.
"Stop here." Edward whispered in my ear, his breath was cool and sweet smelling. It made me giggle, like a 3 year old baby girl. I shut my eyes, and waited.
Whilst he was gone, I was thinking about my future and what would happen with it. I knew I had to keep being a vampire a secret. I was in a world, where I had to hide who I am, and things about me. For the rest of my existence, I would have to wear a mask, to fool the world, and keep a secret me that I'm forced to hide. It seemed like a cruel life, but it wasn't cruel if I got to stay with Edward, forever. So all that stuff didn't matter, I would be with Edward, I would be happy with him.
He led me forward, keeping hold of my hand. I didn't want to let go on his hand ever, I wanted to just keep this moment. To my disappointment, he let go of my hand, and I let it drop to my side.
"Open your eyes Bella." He said in a cool velvet voice. His voices sounded like music to my ears.
I opened my eyes, and in front of me, was a dress. Not a fancy dress, but a cute little summer dress. It was pink, the straps were thin, and made with cotton which had been winded together, obviously hand made. The dress was loose at the bottom, about knee length, decorated with fine cotton and bead the dress was lovely. Something I would never wear, because it would hang on my flat chest like it was a size to big. This dress would look lovely on a model, not on me. I looked at Edward speechless, not knowing what to say to him.
"We bought it for you, for a change of clothes when you came conscious. Alice picked it; I said you would look stunning in any clothes you put on. Bella put the dress on. I'll wait outside, shout me in when you're done and I will get the mirror." His voice was like caramel. I could listen to him all day.
I never took my eyes off him once as he walked out the room. I sighed as he walked out the door, and planned to get changed as fast as I could so he could come back, it was getting ridiculous my obsession to be around him now. I slid off my jeans I'd wore for school, they were ripped and torn, so would have to go into the bin. I ragged my top over my head that would have to be thrown out too, it was covered in blood and mud stains. And so I was stood in my underwear, looking at this gorgeous dress. The dress was too pretty for me to wear but Edward wanted me to, and if it would make him happy I would do it.
I carefully lifted the dress of the hanger, and unzipped the long zip down the side. I gently stepped into the dress and pulled it up. As the satin and silk slid up my leg it tickled, but was a totally different feeling to the way my jeans scrap up my leg. I slipped my arms through the delicate straps, and pulled the zip up. I never bothered to try and fix my hair; it would be too tatty to deal with without my conditioner.
"Edward? I'm done" I said quietly.
His body appeared around the corner. I looked up to meet his gaze, he was smiling, just stood leaning against the wall smiling. Did I look funny in this dress? Didn't it suit me or something? Why was he not speaking?
"Say something?" I asked him, to break the silence.
He looked my directly in the eyes, walked forward, gently took hold of my hands and said "Isabella Marie Swan, you are the most beautiful creature on this planet. In my 100 years on this planet, I have not come close to one thing that nearly competes with you. You are true beauty. I love you. "
I got all embarrassed at what he said, but so pleased he thought I was pretty. I felt like the most special girl in the world, as he said this to me and me only. I wanted to see what I looked like in the mirror.
"Thank you, can I see the mirror now please?" I asked, eagerly.
He ran outside and was back within 2 seconds, with the biggest mirror I had ever seen. I don't know how he carried it, it looked so heavy. He put it down behind me, and ran to my side; he wrapped his hanfds around my waist, and kissed my hair. Causing me to get the giggles again, he chuckled along with me and squeezed me tighter. I put my arms on his arms, and held them, for as long as I could.
"Close your eyes." He whispered, and slowly turned me 180 degree's to face the other direction.
"Open them." He said softly in my ear.
As I opened my eyes, I couldn't believe what I saw. A girl I'd never seen before. Who was that girl? Her hair, long, chocolate brown, looked silky smooth, and soft to touch. Her complexion was perfect, not a spot or shiny place in sight, without make up she was gorgeous. Her body was figured, a perfect hourglass, curves in all the right places. Totally different to me, she had a bust, which the dress flattered and complemented perfectly. An all round pretty girl, there was no way that it was me. My eyes felt like they were filling up, but no tears came out of them, which I was thankful for. Then, something caught my eye, something totally different, what I'd never seen before, and what i didn't expect. My eyes, where blood red. Bright and vibrant. They looked scary, however unique, how could i hide them from the world? I reached up to touch my eye and try and feel around it.
"They will turn a different colour Bella, a golden colour, after you've hunted of course, it might take a while, but they will go." Edward reassured me, obviously knowing that I was worried about them.
I turned to face Edward; I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him.
"Thank you, I feel pretty. You are the sweetest person I have ever met in my life. Edward Antony Cullen, I love you. Truly I do, I would do anything for you. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I love every minute of the time I'm with you, and hate every moment I'm not." I admitted to him, resting my head on his stone chest.
"Bella, it's a one in a million chance of finding someone like you. Catching lightening is more likely that feeling the way I do when I'm with you. Promise me, we will never forget the way we feel now. Promise me, we will never be apart, because my heart has to be where you are. We were meant to be, and I really believe that. "
His words made me feel so special. They seemed like a poem, more than words. Whatever anyone thought about where I had gone, or whether I was dead or alive, really didn't matter to me. As long as I was with Edward my life was complete, and I didn't need anything else. As long as I was with him it didn't matter. With him forever..
