I pulled on my tux and buttoned it up. I looked in the mirror to see how I looked. I smiled when I saw me. The black tux looked great against my skin. But even though I knew I looked great, I would look just plain when I was with Bella. No one would compare to her tonight. I haven't even seen her and I know that. But of course, Bella always looks amazing. I just cant believe that, in the little time I've known Bella, it's like she already has me wrapped around her finger. I laughed at the thought and realized how true it was. I grabbed my tie and and put it on. There, all ready. I thought and smiled as I headed out of the bathroom. Emmett and Jasper were already waiting for me.
"And I thought I took long to get ready. But for once I finally beat you. Ha!" Emmett boomed. I just rolled my eyes and walked to the door.
"C'mon guys we have to go get the girls, remember?" I told them. They just nodded their heads and walked out the door. I trailed behind them and pulled my ipod out. I turned to "Whatever you like" by T.I and turned it up so I didn't have to hear Emmett's booming laugh.
I finished the song just as we got to the girls door. Jasper knocked once, but no one answered. We just shrugged our shoulders and let ourselves in. I scoped the room once then my eyes focused on the beautiful girl sitting on the floor in mine and Bella's spot. I smiled to myself when I saw how beautiful and perfect Bella looked, just sitting there with her eyes closed. I walked over to her and knelt down beside her. I studied her face. That's when I saw the two glistening tears running down her face. I frowned when I saw she was crying. I lifted my hand and brushed it across her cheek, catching the tears on the back of my hand. I took my other hand and picked up hers.
"Bella? Are you okay?" I asked gently, so it was almost a whisper, so only she could hear me. She must of heard me because she stirred a bit and opened her eyes. She studied me for a minute and that's when I remembered I was still holding her hand and my other hand was still lingering on her cheek. But I didn't care and she didn't seem to mind either so I just gave her my crooked grin and she smiled back and nodded.
"Yea, just thinking a bit. Don't worry." she told me. "Ummm… could you help me up?" she asked me gently and I just laughed at her question, but stood up and grabbed her other hand and lifted her up. When she was up, I just kept my hands in hers, and stared into her eyes. I smiled when she looked down at her feet and blushed.
" Thanks." she told him, and looked back up. I just smiled and let one hand drop to my side, and I let the other stay in her hand.
"Your welcome. Oh, and by the way, you look absolutely stunning tonight." I said it just so it was a whisper, so only she could hear. She just blushed and smiled.
"So do you." She stated simply. She looked me over once and smiled. Then she looked behind me and I know she was looking at Emmett and Jasper. "Wow Bella, I gotta say it, you look beautiful." Emmett said, which made her blush a darker red, but I don't know why.
"Thanks guys, but just wait till you see your dates." she told them gently. Just then, Rosalie and Alice came out from Alice's room and walked gracefully over to Emmett and Jasper. They were greeted by a hug and a sweet kiss. Jasper's eyes were sparkling, and Emmett looked speechless. Rosalie was wearing a blood red strapless dress that was floor long, and hugged her curves perfectly, and her hair was pinned up in a graceful bun. Alice was in a simple black dress that fell to her knees, and it was strapless also, and it hung loosely around her curves, and her hair was done in ringlets like Bella's. Bella was wearing her sexy, navy blue dress that tied around her neck.
"Are you guys ready?" I asked us. They all nodded and headed down to the parking garage. We had all decided to take our own vehicles for this occasion. I started to head for outside, but Bella was going the other way, so I grabbed her elbow gently and pulled her the other way.
"We're not taking the Volvo tonight. This is a special occasion, so that calls for a special car." I said gently. She just shrugged her shoulders and went along with me. I led us outside to my special car. I saw Bella's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open.
"We're taking this?" she asked, amazed. I just looked at her and rolled my eyes.
"Of course. It's my special occasion car." I said and winked. I opened the door to the Aston Martin and she got in gently and I shut the door. I was soon on my side and I slid in gracefully. I ran a hand through my hair and started the car. The car purred to life and I pulled out onto the highway. Emmett and Jasper's cars were right behind us. We soon got to the Yacht, where the Formal was going on. It only took 10 minutes to get there because I liked speed, so to some people, I drove like a maniac. I got out after turning the car off and came over to her side and opened the door. I held out my hand, and she took it as I gently pulled her out of the car. I held out my elbow then and she slid her arm through it as we started to walk onto the boat. When we were on, all eyes seemed to turn to us. So of course Bella blushed and looked down. I just laughed and pulled her to a table. I sat down and looked around. The yacht was lit up beautifully with streamers and flowers everywhere. Most people were dancing.
"Would you like a drink?" I asked her from across the table. She just nodded and I got up and headed to the punch bowl. I got two cups of punch and walked back to her. I guess she didn't notice me come back because she didn't look at me until I sat the punch in front of her. she looked over at me and gave me a sweet smile.
"Thank you." She said sweetly and took a drank. I just smiled at her and looked into her eyes intently. She blushed a dark red and my smile widened. I took a drank of my punch then looked around. I looked to the dance floor and saw Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper all dancing gracefully on the dance floor. No one compared to their graceful movements.
"Bella…" I started but quickly stopped. She looked at me, confused.
"Yes Edward?" She asked sweetly. I looked down and started to play with my thumbs. She just sighed and looked back to our friends.
"Would you like to dance with me?" I almost whispered, where she could barely hear me. I looked up at her and her eyes lit up and she smiled.
"I would love to Edward." she told me gently. I smiled my crooked grin and got up and walked over to her. I held out my hand and she took it and I pulled her up and walked to the dance floor. I turned around when we were in the middle of the floor and I gently pulled her to me. I placed one hand on her waist and the other in her right hand. She placed her one hand on my shoulder and we soon started to twirl and spin gracefully on the floor. The whole time, I never took my eyes off her, and she just blushed and kept her eyes on me as well. Soon the song "Crush" came on by David Archuleta. My hands moved down to her waist and she moved hers to hmy neck and we started to sway and spin in a circle. I soon started to sing to her.
"… Cause a possibility that you would ever feel the same way about me, it's just too much, just too much." I sung softly in her ear. I felt her shiver and I just smiled against her skin. "Why do I keep running from the truth, all I think about is you, you got me hypnotized, so mesmerized." I just kept going.
"And I just got to know… do you ever think, when your all alone, all that we can be, where this thing can go?" I was getting into it now, trying to make it sound like I was talking about us.
"Am I crazy or falling in love, is it really just a crush." I sang gently. I spun us gently and started to sway again. I kept singing quietly in her ear, always thinking about how I felt about her. Soon the song came to an end and I sung the last line softly to her,
"Do you catch your breath when I look at you, are you holding back, like the way I do? Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away, but this crush ain't going away, going away." She looked up into my eyes, searching. After that the song "Better In Time" came on and we started to sway gently again.
"It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through
I spun us gently and held her close to me.
Going coming thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gonna be OK
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings
If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that's the path
I believe in
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn't notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gonna be OK
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time"
When the song was over, I looked at Bella's face and saw she had tears running down her cheeks. I wiped them away gently with the back of my hand. She sighed in comfort and looked up into my eyes again. I just smiled gently at her. She looked at my face intently and reached up and touched my cheek softly. Her hand was smooth and warm against my skin, and I closed my eyes at her touch. Bella, I thought. I looked back at her and she closed her eyes and stood on her tip-toes. I realized what she was doing, so I met her halfway and our lips touched. There was a spark there, and I kissed her gently and with sweetness. She smiled under my lips. Now… now I'm complete. I thought and kissed Bella back.
