" You're asking me to prom?" I asked skeptically as he smiled at me, still looking somewhat timid.
" Yeah...Well, remember when you talked to me about graduating in August?" I nodded, " I figured since we both know that's how it's going to work, you wouldn't be able to have your own senior prom. I want you to have that experience."
" Edward, I'm not...I don't need those experience's. In fact, I hate half the fucking events the school throws."
" Are you saying no?"
" No!"
" Then what are you saying?"
I sighed, " If you want to go, because of you, then yes, I'll go with you. I just don't want you to feel obligated because of me, okay?"
" I don't. So you'll go with me?"
" Yes, Edward."
He smiled in satisfaction and kissed my forehead.
" Look what the cat dragged in." I heard Rosalie sneer.
I ignored her and leaned against the counter.
Edward grabbed a Raspberry-Apple and Peach-Mango vitamin water from his fridge and held both out to me. I grabbed the Peach-Mango and thanked him before taking a sip. He dragged me over to the living room area and sat down on the couch, pulling me down next to him.
" So, Bella Swan, is my emo step brother taking you to prom or what?"
" Yes, and he isn't 'emo'."
" Oooh, aren't we defensi-"
" Hello, everybody!" Alice chirped loudly as she skipped into the room.
" Hey, Al. Why so chipper?"
She plopped down on the couch, wearing the biggest grin on her face. It almost looks like it would crack her face in half. I leaned back into Edward, grasping his hand in mine as Alice jumped up and down and clapped.
" Jasper Whitlock asked me out on a date on Friday night and he wants to go to prom with me!" she exclaimed.
Rosalie's head popped up, " He did?"
" Yes! And he is like, so, so cute! I really like him."
" You better be careful, little sister. Dad's going to have a fit."
" Who cares! He'll get over it once I give him my puppy dog eyes. Nobody can resist those!"
Edward laughed and shook his head. Emmett did the same and plopped down on the couch obnoxiously. Alice continued to chatter on and on about 'Jazzy' until her phone went off, and with a high pitched squeal, she was running upstairs to her bedroom.
" Babe, let's go upstairs." Rosalie said to Emmett as she started heading towards the foyer.
" Can't we just chill with Edward and Bella for awhile?"
" Uhm, no. Why do you want to hang out with them anyways?"
" Geez, I don't know Rose, maybe because I'm always hanging out with you. Edward is my brother, and Bella is cool to hang out with. Can't we just be down here for awhile?"
" Cool?" Rosalie laughed, " You're funny, Em. Come on."
" So, did you guys see the color of the graduation gowns? I don't think I can pull off gold/yellow. I'm sexy, but I don't think anybody is sexy enough to pull that off."
" Yeah, I know. I just got my gown yesterday and I was like what the fuck? I have to get the smallest size but it's like a t-shirt on me so they have to specially order it so that it's longer."
" Ahh, dude, that totally sucks. Maybe you should get fat."
" I'm sure Bella will like me when I'm fat. I just hate getting fucking special treatment."
" Hey, rather than then they give you a bigger size and you look like a float in the Christmas parade on the television." I told him.
I laughed at that image and Edward glared at me. Emmett busted out into loud guffaws, his head thrown back and body shaking. I'd admit, picturing that was really funny. Edward in a gigantic gown with how skinny he was, everybody would laugh at him.
" Hey, I'm sorry, but that image is fucking hilarious, babe." I laughed, patting his knee.
" You're funny as hell. She's a keeper around here."
" Are you just going to ignore me?" Rosalie screeched.
" I don't know, Rose, are you going to keep telling me what to do?"
" I don't tell you what to do!"
" Since the moment I got here. Fuck, if I knew you were this clingy I wouldn't have started anything with you. Just go home." Emmett ground out as he stood up, walking out of the room and past a shocked Rosalie.
Edward stood up and I followed suit, leaving Rosalie in the kitchen. Just as we were heading upstairs, I heard her loud, obnoxious heels clicking on the floor. She opened and slammed their front door. Edward joked at her to make sure to lock it, and she gave him an icy glare and just to spite him, didn't lock it.
We walked down the hall to his bedroom and saw Esme as we were heading down the hallway. She smiled brightly when she looked at me and I smiled kindly back in return.
" Bella, it's nice to see you! How are you, dear?"
" I'm good, and yourself?"
" Great. I'm so glad you've decided to have dinner with us tonight. I'd like to get to know you more, especially since you're all my Edward talks about."
She looked at her son with adoration that made me smile. Edward rolled his eyes and Esme just smiled at him and reached up to ruffle his hair. I could see a tint of pink on his cheeks and I'd never seen him actually get embarrassed.
" Would you like any help with dinner?" I asked,
She waved me off, " Of course not, you kids go have fun. But I don't want to hear any funny business."
" Mhm, come on, Angel." Edward said, smiling deviously at his mother as he dragged me away.
Once we were at the end of the hallway Edward lifted me up into his arms to go up the three steps to his bedroom, and I squealed loudly. He walked through his bedroom door and kicked it shut with his foot.
" So, what's on the agenda until dinner?" I asked him.
" Anything you want."
I went over to sit on his lounger and laid back; touching the plush blanket he tossed over it.
" This is where we first kissed."
" I know. I don't think I could forget that."
He sat at the edge of his bed and I looked over at him.
" I've never seen you in a suit before." I noted.
Edward quirked his eyebrow, " You haven't."
" And I can't wait to see it…I still can't believe that you want to go to prom. I thought we'd ditch and just get fucking high."
He laughed, " Don't tempt me."
" Well, we could. I could come over, maybe a pair of shorts, a tank top…We can just lay around, smoke, make out, enjoy ourselves." I said slowly.
He was in front of me in a flash and he put his face in front of mine. Our lips only inches apart.
" You're the devil."
" I'm one badass bitch."
Edward chuckled and rested his hand on my knee, sitting at the end of the lounger. He lifted my legs and draped them over my lap, his hands moving over my legs, massaging them. Slowly he pulled up the hem of my jeans, touching my skin and kneading it.
" That feels nice."
" You are wearing some fucking tall heels." He noted, looking at my black, four and a half inch pumps.
I smiled at him " Sometimes I feel so short next to you."
He grabbed the thin heel and pulled it," I like when you wear your chucks and skinny jeans."
" Oh, really?"
" Mhm. I think it's cute. But I'd wish you'd realize that you're so fucking beautiful and you don't need all that eyeliner under your eyes."
" Edward…"
" Shhh. I like you just the way you are. You're so fucking perfect to me. I just wish sometimes you'd see what I do."
I shrugged and he pulled the hem of my pants back down and scooted up next to me.
" I will always think you are beautiful."
I flushed and shoved his shoulder.
We stayed upstairs until Alice called us downstairs for dinner. After prying myself off his comfortable chest after a nice little nap, we went down and headed into the kitchen. He held my hand tightly in his, pulling me closely to his side.
Everybody was at the table, it was Esme, Carlisle, Emmett and Alice. Edward pulled out my chair for me and I took a seat, thanking him.
Esme had made pasta with a light cream sauce over it, and what looked like mushrooms cooked in with it, and a sprinkle of cheese on top. If it tasted half as good as it looked, I knew that I'd be satisfied. We all served out food before the real conversation started.
" Thank you so much for inviting me for dinner, I appreciate it so much." I said thankfully.
Carlisle and Esme smiled warmly, " Of course, Bella. You are welcome any time." Carlisle replied.
" So, Bella, what do your parents do?"
" Well, my parents actually split when I was younger. My mom lives in Florida, re-married, and my father is Police Chief, as you probably know, he is also re-married."
" Oh, I'm sorry to hear that you're parents aren't together."
" It's alright. Eventually you learn to get over it."
" Is your step mother nice?"
" Uh, yeah, she is."
" I bet your father is probably proud, Edward has told us how well you've done in school and how your planning on graduating early. I can only imagine how proud your family must be of that."
" Mom, how about we talk about something else."
Esme looked concerned, " Is something wrong?"
I looked down at my lap, willing the next words to come out. I looked up at her and sighed.
" My father and I aren't on good terms, and I am civil with my stepmother. We no longer have a relationship. Generally, I do not speak often with them unless required."
" Oh, I'm so very sorry for pushing the subject..."
" No, it's perfectly fine."
Edward rubbed my knee under the table and I smiled at him reassuringly.
" Have you lived here all of your life, Bella?"
" Yes, I have. Once I graduate I'm hoping to go to New York and attend Columbia."
" Really? Edward is planning on going to Julliard in the fall, aren't you Edward." Carlisle stated, something about the way he said it made me feel odd. I couldn't pinpoint in, but the entire conversation he's seemed to be very reserved.
" Yeah."
" So, Bella, you are seventeen?"
" Yes."
" And planning on graduating in August, how do you plan on doing that. Not that I doubt you being able to?" Esme asked curiously.
" Well, ever since I was a freshmen at Forks High, I've taken extra classes during the summer to earn more credits, and after this semester is finished I only have to get two more credits in order to graduate, and I am planning on getting both of those credits through summer school. It worked out perfectly considering I can only take two summer school classes at a time. And they do have a graduation for students who graduate early, and I will be a part of that group. I've already talked with my counselor about it, and my teachers. It's all set up."
" Wow. Brilliant and beautiful. You picked a special one, Edward."
I blushed.
" Edward plays the piano absolutely astoundingly. Have you heard him play?"
I looked over at Edward, " Actually, I haven't. I hope someday he'll share it with me."
" He wants to get his degree in Piano/Organ B, which would be his Bachelors degree. Juilliard has been his dream for so long."
A big part of me was absolutely ecstatic for Edward, but I wondered why he never talked about his college plans with me. I was happy for him when he told me he got into Juilliard, but I wanted to know about his passion for piano, and I wanted him to talk to me about it. I wanted to hear him play, because I knew that he could be nothing short of astounding. He always surprised me.
" That's really amazing." I stated, looking at Edward as I did.
He looked...not angry, but not exactly very pleased. As he had done for me earlier, I rested my hand on his knee and then felt his left hand cover mine. His fingers weaved through mine and I held his hand tightly in mine, squeezing his fingers.
" And he got an amazing scholarship." Carlisle added.
" I think that's enough about me." Edward interrupted, taking a large bite of his pasta.
I grabbed my fork awkwardly with my left hand and took a bite of the pasta.
" Everything is absolutely delicious, Esme." I complimented.
" Thank you! I figured tonight I would pull out the big guns."
I smiled, " Well, thank you very much."
We finished up with dinner and Alice insisted that we should watch a movie. As Alice stole Edward away to grab a movie from his bedroom upstairs, I stood in the kitchen with both Esme and Carlisle. Emmett was standing awkwardly by the table not really saying anything, but shifting his weight back and forth.
" It sounds like Edward hasn't told you of his college plans." Carlisle said.
Esme shot him a look.
" Oh, well, Edward told me about his plans with Juilliard, I just wasn't aware that it was for piano. He spoke very briefly about it. I know that some time in the future we will probably talk about it more. But we have a little while to talk about it."
" Well, obviously Edward will be leaving here in the fall to go to New York, which is across the country from Washington. He'll be quite far away from you."
I wondered what he was trying to get at. A part of me knew what was going to be coming next, but I was hoping that it wouldn't come out of his mouth. The way he talked to me almost sounded cruel, and it was unexpected. It made me feel uncomfortable, and when I looked over at Emmett, I could see that, too.
I talked to James about it. He told me not to worry, but when I have someone who is somewhat family to Edward telling me this; it hurts a lot more than just conjuring the thoughts up in my head myself.
" Do you think that you'll stick around if he does leave? What if your plans for Columbia don't work out? Edward can have an amazing future infront of him; I don't want some girl to mess that up for him. He might not be my son, but I look out for him. When Esme mentioned him hanging out with a girl I was hoping it was just someone he would get over quickly and move on after summer; I hope you understand that your relationship with Edward is very unrealistic right now. I know you are a smart girl and can understand that."
My stomach dropped to the floor.
" Carlisle!" Esme scolded. " What do you think you are doing?"
" Am I the only realistic thinking person in this house?"
" Dad..." Emmett said
" Thank you for having me for dinner, I appreciate it very much; but I think it's time for me to go now."
I fought the tears back as I turned and walked towards the foyer.
" How could you do that to her? Edward is not going to react well to this." I heard Esme say furiously.
" Esme..."
I grabbed my keys frantically from the side table by the door and patted my pocket to make sure my phone was there. Just as I unlocked the door I heard footsteps on the stairs coming closer towards me.
" Bella, where are you going?" I heard Alice ask.
I said nothing.
I opened the front door and shut it behind me firmly, feeling like I almost wanted to die.
I didn't want to mess up Edward's future. And what if he did think of me like a before college fling? I knew in my heart that he wouldn't do that to me, and I hoped that it was true. As I was walking down the stairs towards my car I heard the front door open behind me.
" Bella! Alice told me you were leaving, what's wrong?" I heard Edward say as he caught up with me.
When he saw the tears in my eyes he froze immediately in his spot.
" What did they say? Tell me."
He put his hand underneath my chin and made me look at him. A tear slipped down my cheek and he asked me again.
" Carlisle told me...He was asking me if I'd stick around when you left, and what would happen if I didn't go to Columbia. He was telling me that he didn't want 'some girl' messing up your future, and that our relationship is unrealistic, and I should know that because I'm a 'smart girl'." I struggled through my words, but once I was finished, the look on Edward's face was livid.
" Son of a bitch."
He turned around, holding my hand firmly and was walking towards the house. I followed after him. I was too scared to let go of his hand. Fuck, what happened to the person inside me that stood up and fought for shit?
" Edward, don't, I don't want to cause any trouble."
" He's not my fucking father! He has no right!"
Edward ripped through the front door and was sprinting towards the kitchen. His eyes were murderous when they landed on Carlisle, who looked very shocked by the look on Edward's face. I still had my hand in Edward's and he didn't seem to be letting go anytime soon.
" How fucking dare you." Edward said lowly.
" Edward, please." Esme quietly begged.
" YOU AREN'T MY FUCKING FATHER! YOU HAVE NO GODDAMN RIGHT TO SAY ANYTHING." Edward shouted loudly, repeating what he said to me to Carlisle in a harsh manner. I winced.
" I'm looking out for you, Edward." Carlisle said calmly.
" Bullshit. You put up with me because of my mother. I have a father, and that isn't you. I am never going to be your son. Ever. And you think you have the fucking right to say that to someone I care about? You don't. You can say all the shit you need to say to me, but don't you ever dare say that to her. You have absolutely no idea what goes on in our relationship."
" Your being unrealistic, Edward."
" Unrealistic? That's a fucking joke."
The way Edward was acting almost scared me. I wasn't scared of him, but I was scared for him. He was breathing off, and he was yelling loudly. Esme looked completely concerned with him, and I rested my hand on his chest. His heart was frantically beating underneath my hand, and I looked up at him worriedly.
" Edward, you have to calm down. This isn't good for your heart, honey." Esme said.
" Your sticking up for him. As always, aren't you?" Edward stated.
" No! From the moment I met...Bella, dear, I have absolutely nothing against you. You remember the night I came into Edward's room when you were laying down? I meant every word I said. I am so happy that you make him happy. Whatever makes you happy Edward is all that matters to me; you know that. I've made that clear."
" Then tell your husband to keep his fucking nose out of my life. I've moved from my home because of him, away from my friends and dad. The least I can get out of that is for him to mind his own damn business." he spoke to Esme like Carlisle wasn't even standing there, and when he finished, he grabbed my hand.
" Hey, let's watch that movie, okay?" Alice said, pulling at my free hand.
I just followed her to the living room and Edward sat on the couch, breathing hard. I rested my hand on his chest once again and he leaned his head back, trying to calm himself down.
" Are you okay? Edward, you're scaring me."
" My...Alice, can you get my pills from upstairs?"
She was gone in a flash, and I stood up abruptly.
" What do you want to drink?"
" Bella, I-"
" Tell me."
" Just water."
I went to the kitchen and got him water as he wanted. Alice came downstairs just as I handed it to him and she handed him three, different shaped pills. He downed them quickly and took a swig of water. Emmett sat down on the opposite couch next to Alice, looking over at Edward and I, but mostly at me.
" I'm really sorry, I would have stepped in but he would have had my ass later."
" It's okay, Emmett." I said quietly.
Edward didn't say anything. I leaned into him, resting my head on his shoulder. I grabbed his left arm around wrapped it around my waist, he complied and held it there tightly. He moved to lay down on the couch and pulled me up to lay on his chest. His heart was calming down more and his breathing was more even. I rested my head in the crook of his neck and rubbed his chest with my hand in soothing circles.
" Is this what we are going to get throughout the entire movie? You better not start to make out."
I felt Edward's arms encase me, one resting on my lower back and the other stroking from my hip to my waist. I didn't even see what exactly we were watching; I fell asleep immediately.
~\\~
I woke up later in Edward's bed, curled up under his covers in the same dark wash jeans and fitted v-neck as before. My shoes were off my feet and deposited somewhere in his room.
His bed was drenched in his scent, and I wished I could lay here forever. With a quiet sigh I sat up, letting the sheets fall and running a hand through my hair. Edward was sitting in his lounger with his laptop on his lap, clicking and typing away.
" Hey." I said quietly.
His head popped up and he gave me a small smile. " Hey, you. Sleep good?"
" Uh, yeah. Really good. Sorry I fell asleep on you."
" You don't have to apologize."
" I feel bad for stealing your bed."
" I like seeing you asleep in my bed. How many times do I have to tell you that you're just fucking adorable."
I smiled and laid back down, closing my eyes. " You are so cheesy. I thought I got the boyfriend who was all tough and, fuck you, fuck everything, fuck authority."
I heard Edward get up and felt him slip into his bed behind me. He curled his body around mine and kissed the back of my neck. " You bring out a nicer side to me I guess."
He moved me around to lay me on my back and he dipped down to kiss me. I tangled my fingers in his hair and pulled him down on top of me, wanting to feel his weight on me. Edward covered his lips with mine over and over, moving his hand over my body smoothly. It skimmed down over my waist, tracing my hip and down my leg, around my knee. His hand curled completely around the back of my knee and he bent my leg, pulled it up, and hitched it around his hip.
I gasped into his mouth, surprised at his movement and felt him consuming me. I put out an olive branch so to speak; tracing his lips with the tip of my tongue. Edward slanted his mouth over mine and thrust his tongue into my mouth suddenly. His breath was pure mint and Edward. I tentatively touched my tongue to his and then moaned at the contact. I wanted more of him. Fuck, it had been better than I'd ever imagined it would be.
My hands found purchase running down his back and underneath his shirt, feeling muscular, smooth skin. I lightly scratched his skin, feeling him quietly moan into my mouth. The passion behind his kiss almost melted me into a pile of nothing. I leaned up to press my body closer to his, desperately wanted to get closer; wanting to get more. He held me so intimately, making me feel cared for; like he always does. I moaned into his mouth, feeling the metal piercing in his tongue come in contact with my tongue.
Edward moved his hands up to cradle my face before sliding them back to tangle in my hair. I sat up on feet; my knees bent, and pushed Edward on his back, never breaking our kiss. He had other ideas. I felt his lips break away from mine and he kissed down my neck. My breaths came out in small pants, my chest heaving frantically. I pulled Edward's mouth back to mine and he complied with what I wanted; his lips on mine.
It was a few minutes of heated kissing until I rolled off of Edward to catch my breath.
" I'm really sorry about Carlisle, Angel."
" It's okay."
" No, it's not okay.." Edward started, " College," he sighed, " That's something that you and I will talk about when the time comes. It's not any of his business what happens in our relationship, okay? Don't let him tear us apart because of his pointless thoughts and opinions."
I nodded and curled into his side, " I know, and I'd fucking never let anybody tear us up."
Edward kissed my forehead, " Did you like your 'real kiss'?"
With a grin, I looked up at him, " I did."
He moved me onto my back and kissed me again, more soft and gentle, less urgent. His fingers ran through my hair for just a moment before he pulled away to smile at me, resting his forehead against mine.
" I care about you so much, I hope you know that. No matter what, you're always going to be the most important person to me."
" I do know. I care about you, too."
I put my hands on either side of his face and stared into his eyes. I leaned up and chastely kissed him before laying back down, curling into his side. I closed my eyes and he ran his hand over my back.
" Cold?" he asked when a shiver ran through my body.
I nodded and Edward maneuvered us around the bed. We laid together in his bed, talking about anything and everything that came to our minds, but avoiding the awkward dinner and what. I loved this time the most. When we could just lie down and not care about anything but each other. Edward fell asleep in the middle of our game of twenty questions, his head pillowed on my chest and his arm wrapped protectively around my waist.
It was bliss.

May 8th
Tuesday
BPOV
~\\~
Eventually Tuesday had come around, the Tuesday before Prom that is. I had completely put off getting a dress; which I knew was very essential and had to get done. It was fucking prom, I couldn't show up in one of my summer dresses.
I was sitting at the lunch table with Edward today. Angela and Jess were kind of upset that I sat with him sometimes, but I knew that they still understood. Alice was at the table with us, and Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie. We all had the same lunch period, oddly.
Alice was all cuddled up next to Jasper, her head on his shoulder. They were a couple now, and constantly holding hands and each other. It was kind of sickening. And Rosalie was basically in Emmett's lap as he consumed ridiculous amounts of food. Edward and I simple sat next to each other with our hands linked to rest on his leg.
" I still haven't gotten my prom dress; what about you Bella? Rosalie?"
" Of course I have my dress." Rosalie basically spat. " I'm always prepared."
Alice gave a sour face and I decided to save her a bit. She's a good kid, and Rosalie was being a bitch.
" I don't have mine yet, Alice. I've been busy with work that I haven't had the chance. You know, some of us have important things to do to earn shit to get somewhere."
Rosalie scowled and Alice smiled at me.
" Well, Prom is Sunday...How about we go on Friday!"
" Oh...I have to work."
Jasper's eyes cast up and he looked at me. " What time?"
" From four to nine thirty."
" I can cover your hours for you." he offered.
I was shocked. Jasper and I have never really talked much at all, and now he was offering to take a shift for me at work? I almost reached my hand up to pinch myself, and I saw Rosalie glaring at him. I smirked in satisfaction and looked at Jasper.
" That would be great. Thanks, a lot. And if you ever need me to do the same just ask, alright?"
He nodded once and Alice squealed and clapped her hands. Edward squeezed my hand and I looked up at him with a grin on my face. He leaned down to kiss me, just a quick, chaste kiss.
" Ew!"
" Then don't fucking look." Edward replied, leaning towards me and showing them evident tongue as he kissed me.
I pulled away from him and took a bite of my salad. Apparently I didn't gauge how much I forked because I couldn't get it all in my mouth.
" That was so attractive, Bella." Emmett boomed.
" Fuck off." I said, but it sounded more like, ' Fuh ahhf.'
He laughed at me and Rosalie rolled her eyes in an annoyed manner. I felt Edward wrap his arm around me and I swallowed my bite.
" Fuh ahhf to you, too, Bella." Emmett joked.
~\\~
On Friday I found myself cruising towards Port Angeles with Alice in the car with me. She was just chattering on and on and anything and everything. I thought that Jess could be bad with the rambling, I bet hearing them both have a conversation would give someone a damn headache.
But Alice is a sweet girl, and if I was dating Edward; I did want to get to know her.
She had apparently gone online and found this dress boutique. I wasn't familiar with Port Angeles when it came to dress shops, and neither was Alice obviously, but when I heard Alice talking about it, it sounded cool. Apparently a lot of it was vintage but still with modern dresses. I didn't want to get a huge ball gown dress; that definitely wasn't my forte.
When we get to the boutique and walk inside, I realize that it isn't that bad. And that we are the only ones here. Alice immediately is running towards the dresses with a big grin on her face. I roll my eyes at follow her, looking through the racks.
Pink tulle
Purple tulle
White tulle
Glitter
All of it was fucking tulle and sparkly glitter. I started looking over by darker colored dresses and Alice scowled.
" You don't want to wear black do you? It's not a funeral!"
" Black is my thing. So, you can buy your favorite hot pink dress of some sort and I'll get what I want."
~\\~
Alice did end up getting her perfect hot pink dress. I wasn't surprised.
She had gotten a strapless layered mesh mini dress with a beaded sweetheart neckline. It was definitely her personality, and she had already found the dress she wanted after trying three on. It fit her slim body perfectly, and she was ecstatic to have found it.
Finding mine however, wasn't. I tried on at least ten fucking dresses before I even came across one that I could just barely stand. I sighed in frustration and tore off the dress. Not only did I not like the style, but a lot of them didn't fit my body shape.
Apparently nobody in this world could be skinny and have boobs. Just as I was about to grab my jeans and just call it an epic fail, Alice threw a dress over the door and demanded I put it on.
The dress was mostly a dark grey color with a little bit of black. The first layer had a black velvet design on it, with a satin fabric underneath the pattern, and the bottom of the dress was a very soft, almost feathery tulle-like fabric. There was a slight sweetheart neckline, which wasn't drastic thank fucking god, because most of them showed way too much cleavage.
I slipped the dress on and it fit like a glove, everywhere. No place was too much fabric or too less. It felt like it was made for my body. When I stepped out of the dressing room, Alice squealed and I looked in the mirror.
" Wow, this actually looks good."
" Good? I mean, I think when Edward see's this he might go just a little bit insane."
While it fit perfectly, I loved how it looked on my body. It was strapless, and showed off my thin shoulders, and my hair fell loosely to about mid-bust. I looked at the back and though I fell even more in love.
" It's perfect." I said.
She smiled and clapped her hands, " I'm so glad you found your dress!"
Before making our purchase, Alice had also gotten a pair of shoes. They were a silvery/white with jewels in the middle, and almost looked kind of bridal, but Alice seemed to love them and they matched her dress.
When I thought about shoes, I knew exactly what kind of shoes I wanted to wear with the dress. I had a pair of three inch pumps that were a little strappy and had a small buckle around the angle, with clustered roses going all down the front of the shoe. They are definitely one of my favorite shoes, but a little bit fancy to wear as an everyday heel.
Alice and I actually hung around Port Angeles for just a short while. She wanted to go to the Tiffany's store that they had in the mall. We also had to stop at a store to get Jasper a tie to match her dress. It was pink, just like her dress and it was made out of pure silk.
Later when we walked out of the Tiffany's jewelry store. She walked out with a beautiful, diamond flower necklace that she planned to wear with her dress.
It was fifty five thousand dollars total.
Not fifty five dollars.
Fifty five thousand dollars.
I couldn't at all grasp that concept. She just slid a credit card over to the lady with a huge smile on her face and walked out of the store, saying that she had used up all of her monthly limit.
I had no idea they were that fucking rich. It was dumbfounding.
When we headed back to Forks, I figured that we could get something to eat so I stopped at Forks diner. Jasper was, in fact, working my shift and served us when we got there. Alice leaned over and kissed him on the lips quickly. I paid for our meal, as thanks for Alice coming along with me and helping me with the dress.
She really was nice, and had a pretty crazy personality. I could definitely tell why she and Leah got along. When I went to drop her off at Alice's house, I didn't go in with her because I was exhausted and I knew that I was going to end up falling asleep in Edward's arm, and waking up at three in the morning to head home.
Not long after I had gotten home Edward had texted me. We talked for a little bit on the phone before I passed out right in the middle of the conversation. Shopping with Alice for only a few hours was already tiring.

When Saturday came, I had awoken early to get ready for work. I was already wiped out from shopping with Alice yesterday. She was a handful and I have no idea how anybody could keep up with her on a daily basis.
I spent the entire Saturday working and doing homework, I never got a chance to even talk to Edward. At around three Jess had showed up at my house with her computer and we wrote our English papers together. We had the same teacher, just at a different period. We always used to do homework on Saturdays or Friday nights that was until I got a job and had other shit to do. I missed those times, they were few and far between now.
Jess stuck around my house for awhile before I decided that I wanted to hit the sack early. Tomorrow was prom, and I wanted to get up early in the morning to possibly sneak into Edward's bedroom to sleep with him for a little while. Not talking to him at all for a full day was actually weird; thinking about the days before I had in my life depressed me.
How my entire life had been turned upside down because of him shocked me. I couldn't imagine my days without him. He was my light.
I didn't really see anybody. My father worked all day, Sue kept to herself all day, and Leah and the boys were probably with friends. I made myself dinner in a house so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. I saw Jake walk out of the house, and that was it.
By the time that Jess had left I was already showered and getting into bed. Edward had texted me, but I didn't reply. I wanted to wait until the morning to talk to him, and give him a surprise, hopefully a nice one.
Luckily, I fell asleep fairly quickly and found myself up at six thirty, stumbling around my bedroom to grab my things. I grabbed my dress, makeup bag, my shoes for prom and a change of clothes, and drove to the Cullen's house in a pair of short plaid shorts, a tank top and a pair of beat up converse with a messy ponytail.
I was a sight to see.
When I got to the house, the entire property was quiet, just the sound of rustling tree's with wind. I put my purse over my shoulder and ran around the house, feeling like a complete stalker. When I got to the ladder for the door in Edward's room, I was scaling the ladder quickly. Once I got on the small plank I grabbed my keys and put it in the lock.
Edward also had a special lock for his bedroom door, that also went with the French doors. He'd given me the spare lock, in a way of telling me that he had nothing to hide and that I was always welcome. I trusted his anyways, he's given me no reason not to. Once they were open I looked over at his bed and saw his long body underneath the covers, and a flash of bronze hair on his pillow, but his face was hidden. I set my bag down after re-locking the door, and kicked my shoes off.
I crept towards his bed and pulled back the comforter.
Fuck...
He was sleeping in only a pair of boxers.
I crawled into bed behind him and put my arms around his waist. He shifted around, slightly startled, and opened his eyes to look back at me.
" You scared the shit out of me. I thought you were some rapist."
" Sorry for scaring you, but I can't deny the rapist part."
I ran my hands over his chest and he rolled over and trapped me beneath him. He wrapped his arms around me and dipped down to kiss me. I wrapped my legs around his and moaned quietly. I felt his hand move up my ribcage and I smiled and pulled away from him.
" And here I thought I came here to sleep."
" Sorry." he didn't sound apologetic at all.
" If you're done groping my chest maybe we could sleep more? I got up at six thirty."
He sighed and took his hand away, and instead wrapped his arm around my waist. I ran my hand over his waist and down his lower back to touch his ass. He let out a strangled noise and I giggled quickly and gave him a squeeze before letting go.
" Nice ass, Masen."
" Just nice?"
" It's sexy."
" You bet it is."
He leaned down and I felt him lick over my jaw before capturing my lips and kissing me deeply. I groaned into his mouth, sort of disgusted with the fact that he had licked me like I was a fucking animal.
" Not now, later." I gasped out.
" It's later."
Edward repeatedly kissed my jaw before kissing me again once more. I pushed my body up into his and could feel his reaction to me. I could feel my face heat up, and I pressed my hand against his cheek, feeling slight stubble on his cheek.
Then he pulled away.
I was panting so heavily that it was almost embarrassing. Edward pressed his forehead into my shoulder and linked his fingers through mine. He moved onto his back and pulled me onto his chest. I rested my head over his heart and my hand on his stomach. His arm wound around my waist tightly and my eyes fluttered closed.
" We're always sleeping and napping."
" Mm. Sorry. Would you like to go for a run."
" Fuck no. Goodnight, Bella."
