Chapter twenty- one
Edward's Point of View
Bella's Birthday is Tomorrow and the ball is tonight. I already have Bella's present ready. It was placed in a silver box with a silver bow on the top. I hope she likes it. If not then I could easily go and get something else.
Bella and I separated when Alice pounced after Bella ate breakfast. I was just in my room making sure everything was perfect. Like, I had my tuxedo ready. I double-checked to see if it fit. I wanted everything to be perfect. So far it was.
I had just finished checking on the present that I had put in my dresser when I heard the sound of a piano playing. Then I heard a beautiful voice. I was curious so I followed the sounds to the music room. Alice, Rose and Jasper were standing there watching someone. I walked over and looked in the room. Bella sat in front of the piano singing while playing a song. I knew she could play but I didn't know she was this good!
"Wow, Edward looks like you got competition in the piano department!" Emmet said from behind me. "Who's in there anyways?" He asked, unable to see inside.
We all turned around and said, "Sh!"
He immediately became quiet and we all continued to look in, Emmett eyes became wide when he seen Bella sitting down singing. I began to listen to the words of the song. They were sung with so much heart and warmth.
The words were so complete. I was hoping they were about me considering I am technically her boyfriend.
The song ended and she sighed. Everyone, including myself, clapped and cheered. She turned around and blushed at the attention.
"you finished it!" Alice cheered and she hugged her sister. I read her mind and she was thinking about before they moved to Forks. Her and Bella were writing that song to get their minds off the war that was happening right outside these walls.
"Yeah, I guess I did." Bella smiled at her sister.
"That was Awesome Bella!" Rosalie smiled.
"It really is Bella. You are so talented." Esme commented.
"Thank you." Bella blushed. "Um.. I thought you were all busy..?"
"Well I was walking and I thought Alice was at the piano when I heard it but when I arrived Alice and Rose were looking in here so I came and watched too." Jasper said.
"And We all wanted to know who was at the piano playing the song so we came along as well." Carlisle added.
"the beauty of vampire hearing." Kate smiled at Bella. She was the only nice one to Bella out of the three sisters.
"yeah…" The blush was just wearing off her cheeks.
"Well, we all have a ball to attend! Off you go! Come on people let's go look beautiful!" Alice exclaimed, I wanted to talk to Bella for a minute so everyone besides myself, and Alice departed from the room.
"Bella, be up in about ten minutes please." Alice said before walking off.
I walked over to Bella at the piano and said, "That was beautiful Bella." And I gave her my usual smile.
"Thanks, I had new inspiration." She said standing up and smiling at me.
I returned the smile and then slowly leant down and kissed her passionately. I pulled away before I could get too out of hand and said three words that mean everything to me. "I love you."
"I love you too." She smiled and kissed me again.
Bella's Point of View
Alice and Rose were walking for me when I walked into my room. They smiled and said, "That song was beautiful! You really feel strongly about him huh?"
They pulled me to my closet and sat me down on the round sitting space in the middle of the room. There were pictures of all kinds of hairstyles laid out along with many pictures of shoes.
"Yeah, I love him." I smiled at them.
"We're glad you found someone." Alice hugged me and then we spent the next three or four hours debating on which hairstyles and shoes, we each should wear.
After we were done that we noticed the time, let our wings loose and flew down the stairs to the kitchen. It was way faster then running.
On our way down we ran into Tanya and Irina walking to their rooms I assume. We almost flew into them. We passed and they looked at us like they were seeing ghosts. We all giggled and continued to fly, very fast, to the kitchen.
As we flew into the kitchen Joan, our chef, held up a plate with a whole pizza on it while her assistant, Mary, held up three cokes.
We grabbed the box and drinks and shouted, "Thank you!" Before flying out, just barely hearing the, "You're welcome!" From Joan and Mary.
Before we knew it we were back in my closet again while eating our extra cheesed pizza.
"Oh my goodness! We only have an hour and a half!" Alice said while looking at the clock. The ball was at 7:00pm so I immediately knew it was 5:30pm.
"Alright, well we better get going or we're going to look incomplete at the ball." Rose smiled while pulling me up and over to our dresses. I smiled at mine, knowing it was my perfect dress.
I unzipped the dress after I undressed out of my other clothes and slipped the dress on and zippered it back up. it was a perfect fit.
I looked over to my sisters who were in their dresses too.
Alice was wearing a blue, floor length dress. At this ball, we were all going with colors that went well with our element. So Alice got a blue dress for water. (.com/cgi/set?id=16689258)
Rose was wearing a pink floor length dress that, we knew, meant fire. Pink, orange or red stood for fire in our books. (.com/cgi/set?id=16689240)
Their dresses fit their curves perfectly and they looked like real princesses.
My dress was green, floor length and strapless. It fit perfectly around my waist. (.com/bellas_ball_gown/set?id=16689229)
Alice then dug around and brought out every bit of make-up and hair supplies that could ever be found in this closet! Trust me, with her as a sister, it was a lot of supplies.
We took all of that last hour and fifteen minutes putting on make-up, doing our hair and putting on our shoes and jewellery. I was used to this sort of thing, with being a princess and all, but I still hate it sometimes.
My mother walked into the room after we were all finished and smiled at us.
"You all look wonderful! My beautiful little girls!" She came over and hugged us tightly.
"We're not little girls anymore mom, but we'll always be your girls." Rose said and smiled.
"You're younger then me which means you are smaller then me which to me makes you little. You are my little girls." She retorted with a smile. "Well, it's time." She smiled.
"Yes! this is going to be the party of the year!" Alice exclaimed and dragged Rose out of the room.
I followed after but not before mom stopped me and said, "Be careful tonight dear. I have a bad feeling. There are whispers through the wind. Take this, and be careful." She handed me a dagger.
I lifted the skirt of my dress up and hid it at the top on my tights that stopped in the middle of my calf. I nodded to her with my hopeful smile and we headed out to meet my sisters.
