"Alice, I have no idea what you're trying to say." I finally admitted.

Alice and Jasper had totally immersed me in ASL this past week. Now every time they spoke to me they only addressed me in sign language. It was really good practice, but it could be extremely annoying, especially when I was already a bit on edge. I was finally going to get to take Bella to the Crying Ponies concert and I was going to give her the phone I bought her. I had waited for this day all week. I didn't get to see Bella much as I was in a bit of trouble for the incident in Ms. Blackburn's class on Monday. That night, before mom and dad heard about the incident, Alice went with me to pick out a Sidekick for Bella, (Alice and Jazz told me that's the device most Deaf people really like), but they didn't have the one I wanted so I ordered it and it finally came in today. It's a pretty little red one. I thought it was fitting for my blushing little firecracker!

Right now, we were on our way back from the store and to Bella's house to pick her up for the concert. Jazz offered to drive so my hands could be free to talk to Bella. I still, however, had no idea what the hell Alice was trying to sign.

She sighed exasperatedly, "Chaperone. Edward, chaperone."

"Chaperone? For what?"

She squealed with excitement "I'm going to be a chaperone at the prom!"

"Oh... that's cool... I guess."

She grabbed one of Jazz's hand and engulfed it with both of hers, "It's going to be so much fun! And I'm going to have the hottest date there.' She said in a sing songy voice.

"It'll be nice seeing you all pretty-ed up babygirl, but I'm not too keen on the idea of hanging out with a bunch of high schoolers all might. Oh wait, I do that all the time now, nevermind." Jazz laughed.

Alice slapped at him playfully, "You don't hang out with just any high schoolers baby, you hang out with my cool little brodders and me. And that's who you'll be with at prom too." She looked back and gave me a wink.

"Uh... Prom? I wasn't planning on going." I confessed.

"Um excuse me?" She asked dubiously.

"Well, I wasn't planning on going. I just didn't consider it. Do you think Bella would even want to go?" I had never thought about taking Bella to the prom and apparently that was a mistake.

"When are you going to learn man?" Jazz eventually choked out while he laughed and Alice glared at me, "Bella is a normal teenage girl, Edward, of course she is going to want to go to prom."

Hmmm....

We pulled up to Bella's driveway and she was waiting outside for us... again. I was going to have to talk to her about that. As soon as she saw us she leaped down her porch steps in one lithe move and it felt like she was in the car within seconds. She seemed very excited and it was too fucking cute. She gave Alice a hug from behind her car seat and she leaned over and gave Jasper a little side squeeze hug. I normally would be a tad bit jealous about this, but I was trying to get a better hold of my jealousy, especially with Jazz. And it also didn't hurt matters that I was fixated on the short little red skirt she was wearing. When she leaned over to give Jazz a hug who was sitting in the driver's seat in front of me, I had a perfect view of her nice round ass in that tight ass skirt.

As soon as she was done with Jazz, she bounced into my arms. She gave me a saccharin kiss on the lips, she tasted sweeter than the sweetest candy. When she pulled away she stayed very close to my face. We sat and gazed into each other's eyes for what seemed like forever, but also just not enough time at all to be lost in those chocolate globes, before she mouthed hi.

"Hi" I mouthed back. I wanted to sign as much as possible for Bella, but it was just too damn erotic to be so close to her lips that I was not about to move. If I couldn't kiss those delicious lips all the time, the least she could do is let me memorize them. We had kissed, I mean really kissed, four times so far. Four amazing times. My body was itching for more.

"Don't you like my shirt?" She mouthed just an inch or two away from my face. I felt every sweet hot breath, God, this girl was too much. I finally broke my stare and looked down.

She was wearing my shirt. My Crying Ponies t-shirt. She looked Goddamn fine in it too.

I nodded my head, yes. "Do you want me to get you your own t-shirt at the concert?"

"I have to see if I like them first." She winked at me and I laughed. Bella looked down and saw the bag in between my legs. She scrunched her face, "What's that?"

"I got you something." She looked at me puzzled and cocked her head to the side. I took the sidekick out of the bag and placed it in her lap. I had my hand under the box so that it grazed Bella's lap when I placed the box on it. That was the excuse I needed to come in contact with that skirt... that damn skirt. I shivered, that skirt was sexy and tight and so soft and it was so close to her... her... uh... Christ!

She looked down at the box in her lap and she started to pick it up, but before it was an inch off her lap she released her hold it so it dropped. She reacted like she had touched a hot stove, as if she shouldn't of touched the box. Her eyes darted up to mine "Is this what I think it is?" Her lips parted and her mouth hung open.

"If you think it's a sidekick so we can talk whenever we want, you would be right." I started that statement with a slight smile, but it spread rapidly into probably one of the biggest goofiest grins ever. I couldn't wait to freaking text her good night. Man, I was growing way soft.

She jumped into my lap and threw her arms tightly around my neck. She peppered my face with kisses. With each kiss she would give my neck an even tighter squeeze. She was as happy as I was. She pulled away and signed "Now you have to show me how to use it."

The rest of the drive to Port Angeles I showed Bella how to use her new toy. I say the word toy because she was as giddy as a kid on Christmas morning. Her smile could of provided electricity for some third world country or some shit. Note to self - make Bella smile like this everyday.

She sent me a text as practice.

Thank you so much. I'm really excited for concert. xoxo

I immediately saved it in my favorites folder.

I sent her one too.

Thank you for coming with me. You look really pretty. xx

Jazz pulled into the parking lot and parked. Getting out the car I made the decision that Bella was the cutest thing, ever. She sprinted around the car and ran smack into my chest. I put my hands on her waist to steady her. She grabbed my hand and kissed my cheek before she began scanning the scene hungrily. She was examining everything and everyone with the widest grin. She just looked so damn excited. She was practically skipping next to me as we were walked hand in hand into the building.

She wasn't just a kid in the candy store. She was the kid that fucking finally got to go to the candy store for the first attitude and energy were contagious. I can't remember the last time I was this excited about anything. No one had an affect on people like Bella did. I called her ways voodoo before, I now know that's wrong, even though she's magical for sure.

We walked through the doors and waited in line to get our hands stamped and to give them our tickets. Alice and Jazz went through another line because they are over 21. They got through before us and were waiting for us just on the other side of the ticket table. I handed Bella her ticket and she went in front of me, her head was down when the doorman asked for her ID.

Instead of just tugging on Bella's arm or doing anything remotely intelligent I just screamed at him "SHE'S DEAF!" like a big baby pleading with him not to be mad at her. Holy shit, what the hell is wrong with me? The guy smiled and apologized, but my stupidity obviously didn't go unnoticed. Alice and Jazz were standing there laughing at me as per usual these days. Bella has missed my little mishap and I saw her ask Alice what happened and of course, Alice told her. Bella turned to me and shook her head in disbelief "You are so silly. You know that?"

I nodded my head yes. Alice walked over to me and put her arm around my waist "You are getting to be kind of cute, you know?" She smiled "I really like this side of you, but you're still a tittybaby."

I looked to Bella and shook my head with a frown. I was never going to live that nick name down. She grimaced and mouthed sorry, but she obviously wasn't since she was still laughing with Jazz.

Alice and Jazz decided to go get drinks while Bella and I found a table. We sat and waited for the main band to start. I normally hated opening bands, but this one was quite good. I couldn't help but bounce my head back and forth along with the whole crowd. Jesus, that guitar riff was quite impressive. I looked to Bella to ask her what she thought so far and I saw her eyes wondering around the room aimlessly looking totally aloof. Her eyes finally met mine "Have they started yet?" She signed.

I nodded my head yes.

Bella asked, "Are they good?" My happiness bubble burst. She just asked me if they were good. Shit. What was I thinking? How the hell was she going to enjoy this night? How the hell could I enjoy this night knowing she couldn't enjoying this night. I can take a peek into her world and enjoy the view because I can experience it, I can see it. What the hell was I thinking bringing her here? How the hell was she going to have a peek in my world? What the fuck was I thinking.

Bella tapped on the table and pulled me out of my little mental freak out. Her face frowned "What? Are they good?" She asked again with a bit of trepidation. My reaction to her question must have made her think she shouldn't of asked me that. Fuck...

"Yes, they are." I tried to give her a smile, but failed miserably.

"What's wrong?" She signed. Her eyes imploring me for an answer.

"I can't enjoy it." I signed with my face down in shame.

She slammed the table with her hand "No you don't!" She shook her finger at me.

"No, I don't what?"

"You are pitying me! Again! After I told you not to." She started huffing breaths through her nose and shaking her head vehemently. Damn it!

"I'm sorry. I feel bad." How the hell can I make her understand?

"You and I will never work if you constantly feel sorry for me." She threw her hands in the air with frustration. She ran her hands over her face and through her hair roughly.

"How can I enjoy it knowing that you can't?" I begged her to tell me how. I don't want music to be ruined for me, but I had no idea how to enjoy it knowing she would never hear it. I honestly have barely touched my Ipod since I met Bella. I don't want her to think I pity her because that can't feel good, but honestly how can I not? I loved music and before Bella I would have told you music was everything to me.

"Don't treat me like a baby like everyone else, please. Let's have fun. I can enjoy it, maybe not the same way as you, but I can listen to music too."

"How?" I asked. God, I don't want her to lump me in the same category as her fucking parents. I have got to get over this shit quick.

"You know I like it when you sing. How do I do that?"

I furrowed my face at her "You feel it?"

"That's right." She signed as she stood up from the table and looked around the room. I stood up and grabbed her elbow "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to go listen to music. I'm going to prove to you that I don't need you or your pity." I flinched at her words. She doesn't need me?

"I don't need you." She signed again firmly.

She sighed and her face soften "I want you. There's a big difference."

Her eyes looked into mine yearningly before she turned and walked away. Where is she going? I saw her maneuver her way through the crowd. She stopped in front of one of the large speakers off the side of the stage. Bella eyed it curiously before she hesitantly place her hand on it. Her body was turned away from the stage, facing the opposite direction of the crowd. She softly glided her hand over the speaker as she closed her eyes. I watched her as she stood there perfectly still just feeling the music. After maybe a minute or so her head started to roll faintly back and forth while her face furrowed in concentration. She then slowly let her hips began to slightly sway from side to side to the beat of the music. Holy shit, Bella was fucking dancing!

She placed her free hand on her thigh and began to lazily move it up her body before she wrapped her arm around her waist. She looked like she was giving herself a hug. I stood there in awe of this beauty before me. My feelings were split in two; 1. I was having the biggest hard on fucking ever, thinking she was the sexiest thing that walked God's green earth. 2. I had tears in my eyes and my emotions were currently a lump in my throat because I had never seen anything so beautiful or sweet in my entire life. There was this angel dancing softly and slowly amongst a crowd of stinky hard rock and roll kids that were bouncing all around. I had to chuckle a bit at the adorable absurdity. She was the most awe inspiring creature for being able to let go and not giving a damn about what those think around her. God, I love her.

Holy shit... I love her... I fucking love her.

Her head perked up as if she had heard my realization. Her eyes were still closed as all the different color lights were bouncing off her porcelain skin. The light created red and purple halos all around her. She faced the light and she was basking in it's glow. I had never enjoyed music so much in my life. A sly smile graced her lips as she let the music wash over her all the while still swaying delicately. She finally opened her eyes and they immediately met mine as I was currently devouring her with my stare. Her eyes were hooded as if she was awoken from a deep slumber. Her face looked a bit delirious before I saw realization cross her face and she bit her lip. She released her lip and took a big breath as if to steady herself. She looked at me and smiled with her face up and shoulders back. She was letting me know she was not afraid or embarrassed and she didn't need me. Her not needing me wasn't a thing I should take offense to rather I should be proud of her. It was a fucking a good thing and I need to realize that. She left me breathless.

"See?" She signed.

All I could do was nod my head since there were no words that could even begin to describe what she just made me see.

"Did I dance okay?" She asked biting that damn bottom lip again. And the award for understatement of the year goes to...

"No, not okay. You danced beautifully."

She looked quite proud of herself, "Will you dance with me? I know you said that this wasn't dancing music, but I really want you to dance with me." She looked at me through her long eyelashes. Did she really think I would say no?

"I would love to." I held my arms out for her and closed the distance between us.

"You will have to show me how to do it right. I had no idea what I was doing back there" She smiled before pressing her body up against mine.

I took a step back and signed "I would say it's all in the leading, but after seeing you dance maybe you should lead. You're a natural."

I smiled at her before I wrapped my arms around her waist. She wrapped her arms around my neck, her eyes asking me if that was the right thing for her to do, I smiled and nodded my head yes. She squeezed her arms tightly around my neck and leaned into me. We stood there holding each other rocking gingerly back and forth...to some hard rock music. And I couldn't be happier. She nuzzled her face into my neck and placed one of her hands on my throat. She lifted her head up, "Can I ask another favor?"

"Anything." I mouthed because I refused to let go of her.

"Will you sing for me?" How can this girl be both a gift from God and the devil... So angelic and so fucking sexy at the exact same time.

I slid my hand up her back all the way to her head and gently laid her head back in the crook of my neck. I nodded my head and began humming. She nuzzled her face deeper and placed her hand on the other side of my throat. It felt kind of ridiculous trying to hum to this kind of music, but Bella has me wrapped around everyone of her little fingers. What Bella wants, Bella is going to get.

We stood there holding each other tenderly swaying while I hummed to her for I don't know how long. I just knew I never wanted this moment to end. It was always perfect when it was just me and Bella. It wasn't about us coming from different worlds, but instead making a nice little place of our own. A soft place to meet in the middle.

She lifted her head, her face was confused and she signed something I didn't recognize. I mouthed what?

She finger spelled Alice. "Where's A.L.I.C.E and she made an "A" with her hand and waved it around her face like the sign for pretty. That must be Alice's sign name. It hit me that I had no idea what Alice's sign name was and that I didn't have a sign name.

"That's Alice's sign name?" I asked her.

She gave me a look like, uh yea where the hell have you been?

I laughed, "Sorry, I have never seen it before. What's Jazz's?" I asked.

She raised her hand above her forehead and made a "J" with her hand while shaking it all around above her head. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"For his curly blond hair."

"Do I have a sign name?" I asked her.

She started wringing her hands and she bit her lip again. She nodded her head timidly.

I cocked an eyebrow at her, "Are you going to tell me or do you want me to guess? How long have I had a sign name?" And why hasn't she told me...

"Since the night of the storm." She smiled shyly. Why did she seem nervous to tell me?

"What is it?" I was way too curious now. Please don't let it be tittybaby. Please God, don't let it be tittybaby.

She made the sign for music, her palm waved as if it were a flag. Her hand then made an "E" shape, but she still kept waving it back and forth. The sign for music is normally over the upper arm, but when she was signing it with the "E" she held it near her chest.

"What does that mean?" I signed.

"You're my music, my song. You're the music of my heart. I might not be able to sing, but you make my heart sing." She beamed at me.

My heart skidded to a stop. If I would have heard anyone else say that I would have thought it was super cheesy, but from her it was so fucking perfect. I can't believe I ever thought her blunt honesty was anything, but utterly and completely endearing. She wrapped her feelings up for me in a perfect little bow. There was no better gift she could of given me than that name. That name said it all for me.

"Thank you. I love it." That was all I could bring my hands to sign. It didn't matter because again there were no words to describe how I was feeling right now. I was fucking elated.

"There you guys are! We have been looking all over for you." Alice popped up behind me with Jazz in tow.

We eventually found a table and sat down. We hung out and talked most of the night. Bella and I danced a few more times, but it was difficult to get too close to Bella with Alice oo'ng and ah'ing every chance she got. I snuck in a few little kisses here and there, but with Alice standing guard I didn't get a chance to really kiss her. I think my sister was actually a bit tipsy. Her and Jazz were way touchy feely and she giggled every time Bella and I showed each other affection. She even offered Bella some of her drink.

"Alice! If her dad smells alcohol on her he'll kill us." I told her. The last thing I needed was to be kept away from her.

"First of all, she's spending the night with us. Second of all, she was thirsty so she took a tiny sip. That's why Jazz went to go get us some water." She pursed her lips at me and raised an eyebrow.

I looked to Bella, "You're spending the night at my house?" Why was I the last to know everything?

She nodded her head and then it looked like Bella wriggled her eyebrows at me. Did she seriously just do that? As if she heard my mental question she wriggled them again right on cue. What the hell did that mean?

Bella and I had one last dance, with me humming of course and then the concert was over. The lights turned on and everyone started lining up towards the door. I took her hand and we began to walk out stopping in front of the merchandise table.

"Did you like them? Do you want a t-shirt?" I gave her that crooked smile she loves so much.

"I liked them very much. They're my favorite band now. But I would rather wear your t-shirt. Thank you." She bit her bottom lip and instead of just biting it she slowly let it curl out from under her teeth. Did she have an idea how incredibly desirable she was? She knocked the breath out of me with that arousing little lip trick. I had to bit the inside of my cheek to keep from jumping her like the hormonal teenage animal that I fucking am.

I was so rattled by her sexy lip curl that it took me quite a few times to sign "How about a poster? For your room?"

"Perfect." She grinned. The idea of buying her something that she would hang in her room that would make her room more personal for her, meant so much to me. She was going to see that poster everyday and hopefully think of me. I couldn't believe how excited I was that she was going to let me buy her a poster. Shit, how things change...

We stood in line waiting to buy her poster, "Do you know what prom is?" I signed to her. She practically scoffed at me "Do you think I live under a rock?" She signed.

"I know that was stupid. Sorry." I ran a frustrated hand over my face. You idiot, Jazz already told you she would want to go and you asked her if she knew what it was? God, you need help.

Bella just smiled at me knowingly and she held out her hand as if to say, "Well?"

"Do you want to go with me?" Why the hell was I so nervous about asking her? I had held her in my arms practically all night and she called me the freaking music of her heart for Christ sake, but I still get sweaty palms and fighting squirrels in my stomach in her presence.

"On one condition." She signed wriggling her pointer finger near my face and not at all in an annoying way.

"What?"

"Will you go with me to my old school's prom?" She asked. Earlier today I didn't even want to go to one prom and now I'm ecstatic at the idea of two.

"I wouldn't miss it."

Alice and Jazz paid their tab and joined us waiting in line. Alice caught Bella signing prom and then Alice dug her claws in her. They were giddy and hugging and signing quickly. I bought the poster that Bella picked out and then we headed home. She wanted the one that had the bands name on it. For some reason she didn't seem very fond of the little girl tapped in a triangle design. Jasper left the light on in the car so Bella and Alice could talk shop. They were either planning on shopping for dresses tomorrow or they were going to the grocery store looking to buy some girls. I wasn't completely sure which since they were signing really fast, but I figured it was safe to assume my first inclination was right as the other made no damn sense. Alice took a break from chatting with Bella to inform me that I was going to look for a tux with Em and Jazz tomorrow. Great.

As soon as we got home we all headed for kitchen. Alice started making tea and Jazz started making sandwiches, well when they weren't feeling all over each other that is. What the hell is up with them? They have been extra touchy feely tonight and I really didn't want to watch it anymore. And I would really like some alone time with Bella.

"Do you want to watch a movie in my room?" I asked Bella.

She nodded her head and gave me a smile.

"We are going to go upstairs to watch a movie." I announced.

Jazz and Alice finally took their googly eyes off of each other to shoot me a look and they both raised an eyebrow at me.

"Oh really?" Alice giggled.

Alice signed something to Bella so quick I missed it. Bella smiled and signed something even faster and they were both silently laughing.

"All right fine. But she's sleeping in my room, mister. Jazz and I will be watching a movie in the entertainment room if you guys wants to join us." Alice pouted.

Jazz and I both shot each other a look of understanding.

"Come on Alice leave the young lovebirds be" Jazz crooned in her ear and shot me a wink.

We said our goodnights and headed up the stairs. Bella noticed I was trying to take each step lightly as to be as quiet as possible. She began not only imitating my actions, but overexaggerating them since she had no idea how quiet she should be. Jesus, she's too fucking adorable. I opened the door to my room for her and motioned for her to enter. She dropped her stuff to the floor, kicked off her shoes and hopped on my bed. She crossed her legs at the ankle and propped herself up with her hands behind her. The visual of Bella on my bed was making it hard to think clearly. I let my eyes scan up and down her body a few times and when my eyes were met with hers I noticed she was eyeing me fixedly. Her look was a bit different than it normally was, but I couldn't put my finger on what was different about it. It just seemed more attentive that usual.

I finally got a grip and managed to remember what I should be doing rather than just raking my eyes over her body over and over again.

"What movie do you want to watch? Have you seen this one?" I grabbed a movie off my desk and I held it up, Mr. Holland's Opus. I pulled it from Alice's Deaf related movie collection. From the summary and what Alice said about it, it would probably be a very fitting choice considering the date we had tonight.

"I don't really feel like watching a movie." She signed as she stood up from the bed. She unzipped her hoodie, slipped it off her shoulders and dropped it on the floor

"Ok, what do you want to do?" Did she looked...resolved? What is going through her mind?

"I want to..." she signed and I didn't recognize the last sign. She made "V"' with both hands and hit the bottom of her fists together while keeping the V shape with her hands.

"I'm sorry. What's..." I repeated the sign back to her.

She licked her lips and eyed me with amusement.

"F.U.C.K" she finger spelled slowly.
