Edward's POV

My heart was pounding with the addicting scent of Rosalie's hair in the wind. We were dancing like it was an imagination soaring through the wind. I was in love with her magically, ever since I took one glimpse at her. Her hair was gold like the gateways to heaven with her beautiful sparkling blue eyes that remind me of the beautiful sky. Her voice was like a lullaby, singing to children to rest them from a hard day of work. I knew she was the one I always wanted. I'm forever to her grave.

We kept dancing while I was staring into her eyes, not thinking of the steps. Her smile gave me confidence not to be apprehensive with myself, not even if I fall. Her sense of humor was perfect; I love a woman that can make anyone laugh. I was blind for sure, but maybe this was a good blindness. I would never forget this moment and I hope she feels that same. I knew she loved Emmett and told me I won her heart, but I wasn't that convinced. What I've read in poetry is that first loves are hard to forget, and I know that's exactly correct. My first love is Rosalie and I would never forget that or never stop. I didn't want to stop anyway since I've never felt this passion in my life.

The music ended so Rosalie and I applauded with everyone else in background. I couldn't stop staring at her. I knew I should stop but it was impossible. She was looking into my eyes, obviously trying to read my emotions but I don't want her to know what I'm thinking. It's horrible to be even thinking about this. I got to stop this now!

"You dance wonderfully, Prince Edward." She commented, giving me her best smile. I wanted to kiss her, but it's not the right moment for that yet. Her curly hair was resting on her shoulders, beautifully placed with her curls reminding me of Greek princess.

"Thank you." I smiled, trying not to show too much of anything. I must know something since I can never let this question past me. "Rosalie, are you sure this is the right decision for you? Do you love me enough to tolerate a marriage? Please tell me the truth, that's all I'm asking. I will appreciate your honesty."

She looked down, depressed. I knew something was hidden but I can never read a woman's mind that clearly. She looked up at me to speak. "Edward, I want you and I promise to grow to love you but it's just that…you feel like a stranger to me. I want to be able to trust you well enough that I can…you know." I nodded so she can continue. I understood everything and I would have said exactly what she just said. "It's just that Alice loves you so much that she rode her horse every night just so she can see you from your window cell, I can never do this to Alice. Bella did break my heart and now we're having a feud and I would hate to loose Alice for all that she's helped me through. Alice is the reason our family is running; it would kill me to hurt her. To me, I am hurting her from doing this. Please hope that this doesn't offend you in any way."

I shook my head, "Rosalie, your sisters are important you. I may not understand since I'm an only child, but the compassion for your sisters is a lot more important than compassion between a man and a woman. Rosalie, all I want is your happiness and if you think that we shouldn't get married, then we won't."

"I do want to marry you, but its just Alice is pulling me back in my conscious." She frowned looking down not to look at me. I gently lifted her chin up just so I can see her eyes.

"You have the most beautiful eyes," I commented, giving her a little smile. "Rosalie, I know you probably want me with Alice, but you must know that I would never love anyone or anything more than you. I would give up money and fame for you. I'll run away, no matter what happens, if we die or not. If you die, I'll follow since nothing will ever be the same again. I'll marry Alice for you, but I'll never be that happy."

A tear slid down her cheek. "I know you're willing to do that for me, but please try. I'll marry Jacob since he'll be the only one left, but I want Alice to be happy. She helped me through everything and she was like a mother I never had, enough she was younger than I was." She sniffled, placing her hanker chief on her eyes to wipe her tears away.

"Oh please don't cry." I pleaded. I would hate to see red surrounding the cores of her eyes. She stopped just to look at me. "Did you ask Alice for your permission?"

She nodded, "And she said it was fine."

"Then what's holding you?" I asked, entirely confused.

"Because I know in her heart, she loves you." she sighed, "She fancies Emmett dearly and I gave her my permission."

"I'm entirely bewildered." I raised my eyebrow, "She fancies Emmett but still loves me. She probably doesn't feel guilty and yet your weeping away even though she's probably doing more than you are. So why are you feeling guilty, there's no possible reason to be, I promise you that."

She just looked at me like I was about to make her do an incredible stunt. "Are you sure?"

I nodded, "I told you that I promise you that."

She nodded, "Okay, I won't feel guilty anymore."

I kissed her soft cheek that was rosy colored, very beautiful. "You're going to become a great queen of England."

"I hope so." She sighed, "I'm thirsty, I need some water."

"I shall get you some water, stand right there." I ordered. She nodded as I walked away from her, even though the thought of it ripped me apart. I grabbed one of the goblets I found that was never used. I found a teakettle that contains cold water that was only a foot away from where I was standing. I reached for it gracefully to fill the goblet. I filled it ¾ of the way so it wouldn't spill. I walked gracefully, but being cautious about the water. I was finally at her approach, handing her the goblet.

She smiled at me, taking a sip and sighed. "Thank you."

"You are welcome." I smiled, "I would hate to see a princess faint."

She laughed, "That wouldn't be pleasant at all."

"No it wouldn't. Rosalie, what are your favorite activities?" I asked, curious about her personality.

"I love to arrange the flowers of our garden, watching sunsets and you may find this very odd but I love to run. The sun on my face is like heaven calling to me. I know princess shouldn't be running but it's my passion." She smiled, dazing off like she was imaging it right now.

"I would let you run as much as you want."

"You would?"

"If you're happy running, then I would be happy."

"But princesses never run."

"So? Princess can have different taste of hobbies. It's allowed and yours happens to be interesting." I pointed out, "I want different. Common is never fascinating because it's intimating and frustrating. But Rosalie, I see a difference when I look at you and when I look at Alice. Alice is smart, sure and intimating but you're something special and delightful."

She looked into my eyes directly, breathing slowly. "Edward, you're different and you're one of those who keep to their word. I love that in a man. And Emmett has that too."

"You're comparing me to Emmett?" I asked, sort of frustrated.

"You have differences Emmett in a good way." She explained, "He's a war hero, saving lives and his country. He's a hero to everyone. But…you're a hero to me. I can finally see my blindness that I had of you. I understand Alice completely since she always had great taste. Edward, I want to marry you and get to know you. I promise to faithful and honest."

"I know you will." I smiled, "I already trusted you and I still do." I leaned in to press her lips against mine passionately, holding her close to my chest. I closed my eyes, letting her lips lead me. I opened my eyes when she stopped. She was looking right into my eyes, breathing.

"Please kiss me again Rosalie." I whispered. She nodded, lifting her head up so her lips can match mine. But this time was different for me. It was more vivid with her arms around my neck and more intense. I loved this moment and I couldn't think of anything better than this. Rosalie was my true love and queen to my heart. If only I could take her somewhere privately so we can make love. I hate thinking about this but that's what I want. But for now, I wanted to continue this amazing kiss.
