Chapter 14:

Bella's P.O.V-

It has been 7 months since the Cullen's have arrived, so now graduation was coming up, and Prom. I knew that every guy was going to ask Rosalie, Alice, Izzy, and me to the dance. All the girls where going to ask Emmett, Jasper, and Edward to the dance. It was going to be a long three weeks. I glanced at Edward. He was laughing and talking to Emmett about some wrestling match. The longer I was with Edward the harder it was to resist to kiss him on his lips. I knew that he didn't feel the same way.

Lauren seemed to always be watching my every move, and it made me unconformable. The day that we went to the shopping spree, Lauren apparently went to meet couple of her god friends in Europe. Some how I knew that, that was a lie. Izzy was becoming more suspicious of her very day. She felt the same dark feeling I did.

Izzy and I left, walking to the car.

"Oh, Bella. I forgot to talk to Alice, she wanted to speak to me. I'll just meet you home, OK?" Izzy asked me as we got to the car.

"Sure." I replied slipping into the driver seat.

Izzy's P.O.V-

I walked over to Alice who was behind a tree.

"Alice? What do you want?" I asked her.

"OK. I know that I might sound sudden, but I think we should put Edward and Bella on a date." Alice sad rushing through every word.

"WHAT!" I screeched.

"Shhhhhhhhhhh..." Alice hushed me as people began to stare. "Hear me out, it is just going to be a small date. You and I both know that Edward is head over heels over Bella and wouldn't try to hurt her again. But both of them are so in love that they don't think the other likes them as much. Please... Izzy you have to help me out here." Alice said beginning me now.

I secretly knew that she was right. Bella loved Edward so much that she would die for him. I sighed, I couldn't believe what I was about to do, "Fine Alice." I said. She jumped up in joy.

"But what about Lauren, you know Edward's wife." I added we sat down on the lawn.

"The funny thing is that I asked Lauren if it was OK. And she said yes, that is was OK!" Alice said in amazement.

"What?" I said. I was shocked I couldn't believe that Edward's wife said it was OK.

"Ya I know. Strange." Alice added. We walked over to Alice's yellow Poshe. We discussed how we where going to get them to meet. Alice needed to make sure Edward didn't read her mind.

The plan was that I would tell Bella that we where going out to dinner for sister bonding. We would arrive 5 minutes before Eward and Alice. And Alice would tell Edward that there was a new vampire at the restaurant. It was perfect, then Alice and I would run out of the restaurant and leave them alone.

"Hey Bella" I said as I closed the door of our apartment.

"Hey." She replied she was reading another book.

"What did Alice want to talk about?" Bella asked me.

"Oh she was just planning another shopping spree." I replied instantly as I sat next to her at the sofa.

"Hey, Bella do you think we could go out tonight?" I asked her she lifted her gaze off of the book.

"Sure. What did you have in mind?" she asked me putting the book down.

"Well I heard about this new restaurant." I said looking her straight in the eye.

She just laughed, "Izzy we can't eve eat the food. Why would you want to go?" she asked me giggling slightly.

"Well because I just wanted to hang out with you, and I wanted to really see it." I pleaded.

"Well, I guess. What time?" She asked me. I smiled happily this was going to work so easily.

"I made reservations at 8." I replied. She nodded.

"I guess we should get ready. Do you want to take a shower first?" she asked me.

"No you can, I can wait." I said. She shrugged and walked into the bathroom. I smiled to my self. This was to easy.

Bella emerged from her bed room.

"I don't know. I think this is to much." she said as she showed me what she was wearing. She wore a simple black number. It was a black halter top, that showed off her flawless curves, it reached down below her knees. It sowed her long legs. She wore cut black heels, her hair was up in a neat bun, some strands falling in front of her face framing it. She wore a simple diamond necklace, and a diamond bracelet and light makeup.

"I think it's perfect." I said. "You look stunning." I added.

I wore a spaghetti strap dress, that was black as well. With my hair done in simple locks of curls, and black pumps. It was 7:30.

"I guess we should go." Bella said grabbing her Gucci purse. I nodded. Bella grabbed her car keys.

"Um...Bella it's such a beautiful night why don't we run there?" I suggested. Bella glanced out side, it was a clear warm sky and the stars where twinkling.

"Sure." she said as we stepped out together arms linked.

We arrived at the restaurant just at 8. That's when I smelt Alice.

"Hey Bella. Look over there by the parking lot." I said pointing to a random car. She turned her head slightly, but I new she still could see me, and I ran out. I ran as far as I could.

Bella's P.O.V-

I turned me head to see what Izzy was talking about. I was super suspicious of what she was doing. That's when I felt a slight breeze and I whipped my head around and Bella was gone. Oh my God! Izzy did not just leave me here. That's when I smelt Alice. I looked over and saw Edward. He was dressed in suite with a black tie and Alice was skipping along side him. He meet my gaze and looked confused.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Alice told me that there was a new vampire by this restaurant." Edward replied we both looked over to where Alice should have been standing. But she wasn't there anymore. She left just like Izzy. Edward ran a hand through his untidy bronze hair.

"So this was her plan." Edward muttered. Now I understood. Izzy and Alice schemed behind our backs, trying to get us together.

"So what do you want to do?" I asked Edward. He looked down at me.

"Well do you want to go some place else?" Edward suggested.

"Sure." I replied.

"Here, I know this perfect little place where we could go." he said. We both walked over until we reached the edge of the woods.

"Race you." I said to him. He grinned in response.

"Your on." he announced.

"Ready, set,...go" Edward said as we ran into the woods. We where side by side running very fast. Edward went a little a head of me, then I went a head of him. We continued this until we arrived at his special place. It was peaceful. It was a free open space where you could see the stars. It reminded me so much of our meadow back at Forks.

We both sat in the middle of the clearing. Lying down looking up at the stars.

"Bella." Edward said. I turned my head looked straight at his brilliant eyes.

"Yes." I whispered. As he held my gaze.

"I'm sorry" he whispered he reached his hand to brush away a loose strand of hair from my face tucking it behind my ear.

"Sorry for what?" I asked I knew that I would be blushing fiercely if I was human.

"For everything. I left you. I tried to give you a chance to be human, and look what has happened." he said his voice was full of sadness and grieve.

I reached over at him and lightly touched his check. "Edward, you need to let go of the past. What is done, is done." I whispered I gave him a small smile. That's when I felt his lips against mine. They where gentle but held so much passion. I shyly kissed him back.

Lauren's P.O.V-

YES! I was watching Edward and Bella. I cracked an evil smile. By the look of things, my plan would begin in about 3 months. I gave a dark chuckle. yes, m dear Bella I will have your love of your life betray you, then have your family turn against you, and then crush you. I swiftly left the two couple.
