Revenge is the sweetest thing.
A/N: okay this gonna be really short I promise. I just want to say thank you for your lovely reviews for last chapter. I know it wasn't the most interesting or the longest but I still loved your reviews. So please review again...and again? Maybe? If you want?
Okay I'll shut up now
Chapter 14: first date.
He stayed for an hour. We just talked. Sat with each other. Content with just holding each other. Reluctantly he left. That's twice now he's fought in my honour. I was really falling for Edward Cullen.
"so his he your boyfriend then?"
oh Charlie you had to ruin it didn't you?
He's picking me up in one hour and I have nothing to wear! What's the proper attire for a first date when you have no idea what we're going to be doing. Oh god this is a disaster.
I'm sat on my bedroom floor in my underwear with basically my whole wardrobe laying in piles around me. It looks like I had some kinda freaky clothes fight. And now everything's wrinkled and I just want to die...it would be easier then picking something to wear.
I'd straightened my hair, and left it loose. It hung down my back and always gave me something to fiddle with when I'm nervous. So I figured it would be good for tonight. I left my make-up subtle. Not really that different than the way I wear it for school, just a tad more eye liner to make my eyes look more defined. It was a trick I'd learnt years ago.
And then as if my day can't get any worse...the doorbell rings. Fantastic!
I wrap my robe around myself and run to the stairs. Please don't let it be Edward ad I've got the time horribly wrong..please, please, please...
"Alice?" I raised an eyebrow. Well at least its not Edward I suppose. "what are you doing here?"
she just walked through the door and started up the stairs, stopping I front off my bedroom door.
"Edward told me about your date, ad I was wondering if you wanted some help getting ready...clearly I was right" she said with a tinkering laugh.
"Alice you are a complete and utter lifesaver. I have no clue" I confessed.
She giggled again and started sorting through all my abandoned clothes. She told me she knew what we were doing so she was easily able to pull and outfit together that would work.
She handed me, my plain back Chanel dress with my black Jimmy Choos. It was fancy, but not overly fancy...if that makes sense. She said she wanted to "touch up" my hair and make up. I let her do what ever she wanted. She'd helped me in my hour of need, I owe her my life...a bit too dramatic? Yeah I thought so too.
When she was done, she make a hasty exit, saying that Edward would kill her if he knew she had been here. Apparently he'd told her not to bring her "crazy" near me until he'd had a chance to make amends and let me know his true feelings. She wasn't meant to tell me that. Her face went bright red and her hands shot to her mouth as soon as the words had escaped her lips. But I thought it was really sweet of Edward, and little did he know he was already forgive and I knew his feelings and reciprocated them.
Approximately 10 minutes after Alice left there was a knock on the door. 6.00pm sharp. How does he do that? I opened the door and I swear a little drool came out. Ladylike I know. But he was too gorgeous for words. He wore plain black dress pants, and a dark blue button up shirt. It was tight on him and I could define his chest perfectly. His hair was the usual mess, and to be honest I would be kinda upset if he changed it. He had a light 5 o'clock shadow where he hadn't shaven today. It gave him this rugged look and was just too sexy. His grin was the best part though. That damn grin that made me weak in the knees.
"Bella you look so beautiful" he whispered. This moment felt so precious and fragile that even something like volume could break it. I mumbled a thank you, took his extended hand and followed as he led me to his car.
We made idle conversation in the car. Nothing heavy. I asked where we were going but her refused to tell me. And when the car stopped I realised why. The high school? This was his idea of a date? "Edward, why are we at school. I spent all day trying to get away from it" he just chuckled but never replied. When we got out he grabbed my hand and started leading me somewhere...
"the gym? Seriously Edward, what's going on?" this time he stopped and turned to me, whilst we were stood outside the doors.
"I messed this up the first time, I wanted to make up for it, if you'll let me..." he trailed off as he opened the doors leading into the gym. He held it open for me to walk through. The gym was unrecognisable. He'd, I'm assuming it was him, he'd hung decorations all around the large space. The only light was coming from the few Christmas lights that were hanging. There was one table set out with cutlery. It was...prom.
"Bella, will you go to prom with me?" I wanted to laugh at his utter cheesiness, but as I turned around, the humour vanished. He was holding out a corsage, the twinkle in his eyes and crooked cocky grin completely gone, and there stood and scared boy worrying that I would actually turn him down.
"i would love to go to prom with you" his smile grew, but it was genuine and honest. He was asking for a re-do and I was giving it to him. He slipped the corsage onto my awaiting hand, and then kissed my cheek.
He led me to the table and pulled out my chair to sit down. He'd cooked. He pulled random food out of a picnic basket he'd brought. The contents consisted of pasta and cold pizza. But I couldn't imagine it being any more perfect.
"favourite colour?"
"green"
"ice cream flavour?"
"chocolate"
"pizza topping?"
"peperoni"
we were playing this stupid game, but we were learning so much about each other through it. The stuff that usually takes couples years to learn. The small stuff, the little insignificant details that makes a person.
"dance with me?"
"Edward I can't dance" I replied. But I knew that wouldn't stop him. Nothing stopped Edward when he had an idea...kinda like me I suppose.
"well I can, its all in the leading..." and with that he pulled me onto the dance floor after turning the small music station on. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I put mine around his neck. We were both just staring into each others eyes, this was the most perfect moment of my life. And I wanted to make it better.
"Edward I forgive you" I whispered. His smile grew which in turn made me smile more
"that doesn't mean I'm going to stop making it up to you...I said I'd keep doing it till the day I die and I mean it..." he whispered back. I really like the sound of that. Having Edward around forever...sounds pretty perfect.
"Bella I know this is only our first date, but we've grown so close since you've been back... everything I've found out about you I like, and I can't wait to learn more. You've completely changed my life, and I don't ever want to go back to the way it was before..." he looked nervous and uncomfortable "Bella...will you...be my girlfriend?"
…...
yeah that's right I pulled a "new moon" on you guys. Except he didn't ask her to marry him...so I guess its not really the same...oh well its still called a new moon okay. So go on review and tell me how mean I am... :)
