Chapter 12

Edward was pretty sure he was going to throw up. He was supposed to pick up Bella in twenty minutes, and he couldn't seem to tie his damn bow tie. She'd told him she'd bought a new dress. And new shoes.

She called it a date.

He was going to puke, and then he was going to hell.

He finally managed to twist the tie into something resembling a bow, and headed out the door. He was at Bella's place promptly at 7:45, trying very hard not to sweat.

When she opened the door, he had to remind himself to breathe. She looked incredible. Not that he hadn't seen her look incredible before, but it had never hit him like this.

Her dress was green, a deep, rich emerald green that shimmered as the silky fabric moved. It was short, only reaching to the middle of her thigh, and it was held up by two tiny straps that he knew would break with a sharp tug from his teeth.

Not that that was ever going to happen.

He let out a low whistle. "Wow. You look amazing."

She grinned, and everything slid back to normal. "Thanks! You look pretty handsome yourself."

He tugged at his bow tie. "It took me forever to tie this damn thing."

She reached up to straighten it, and he nearly choked when her fingers grazed his skin. Taking a step back, she murmured, "Perfect."

"You ready to go?" he asked.

When she nodded, he held out his arm for her to take, and she was reminded of prom, all those years ago. Hopefully, no one would get punched tonight.
