Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or any of the songs in this story
***Note: I highly recommend playing the songs in this chapter aloud while you read the parts where the characters sing those specific songs because the songs are amazing and it would be cool to listen to them sung while you read the lyrics as the characters sing the song!
If not, I highly recommend you play Alice and Jasper's wedding song because it's a beautiful song! It's Inside Your Heaven by: Carrie Underwood!
Edward POV
It was a long three weeks without seeing Bella. This was the longest we had ever been apart since we had met and I couldn't get Bella out of my head. Her smile and laugh, her beautiful chocolate brown eyes that would light up when she laughed, her rich mahogany hair that cascaded down her shoulders. Her teasing care free attitude and her unselfish personality. She was really too good to be true.
I was on edge on the airplane for the whole ride till I got home. I tapped my pen on the air rest and couldn't stay still. People were looking at me funny as I continued to shift and bite my lip in nervousness and the guy next to me shifted nervously away from me getting to the closest edge to his seat that he could manage. My mind buzzed with two important questions that I didn't know the answer to. One, when would I be able to see Bella? When I landed? The next day? Definitely I would see her at the wedding but what about before then? Second, what were Bella's true thoughts about her last conversation? We revealed our feelings for each other seconds before I had to take off and I never gave Bella to say more then four words. Even so, they kept running through my head the entire trip. I would smile widely as her words processed through my mind over and over again. 'I like you too. I like you too. I like you too.' Each time it would never fail to send my heart thumping a hundred miles and hour.
During my trip I wrote various songs. One was about my break up and the rest were about Bella.
At my last concert, I decided to introduce two of my newest songs written. I still remember grabbing the microphone and singing my heart out that night.
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird: I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd: but don't be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed: but won't you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
Up, up and away: away from me
It's all right: You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy: or anything:
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
I'm only a man looking for a dream
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
It's not easy ... wu.. hoo.. hoo..
It's not easy to be me.
The crowd roared with delight. I licked my lips nervously and moved on to the song that I had written about Bella.
Let me be your hero
Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul tonight?
Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh oh please tell me these
Now would you die for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms tonight?
I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Would you lie would you run away
Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here tonight
I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Would you lie would you run away
Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here tonight
I just want to hold you
I just want to hold you
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care you're here tonight
I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
You can take my breath my breath away
I can be your hero
The music swam through me and I knew I couldn't wait to see Bella again.
Bella POV
The red rug that flowed all the way down towards the alter in the church blocked out the sounds of the rustling feet as everyone sat down waiting for Alice to come down the aisle. Jasper, Emmett and Edward were already through the doors waiting along with Alice's family and Jasper's. Alice, Rosalie and I along with some of Alice's cousins were waiting for the music to take off as a signal to open the doors and enter the beautifully lit church that was showered with every type of flower I could imagine but my knowledge of flowers was pretty limited so probably not that many.
"Are you ready?" I asked Alice, squeezing her hand because I didn't want to mess up her long white dress that she had made herself.
"Yes! I cannot believe it is already time!" She smiled. Alice was so different then I was. She didn't seem nervous at all that all eyes would be on her the whole night. Not afraid of messing up her vows or tripping. She definitely would not be accounted for as the blushing bride. As for me, I would probably be already blushing and hyperventilating as soon as I entered the church.
The sound of music started at that moment and Alice's cousins started walking down the aisle throwing down lavender flower petals as they went. I waited a few seconds after all the flower girls and bridesmaids went and then I walked through the doors into the beautifully lit church. The stained glass windows and the flowers enhanced the churches features. It was all so much to take in. I could sense Rosalie behind me as I continued walking.
I dropped my gaze from the church and looked forward for the first time to see something even more beautiful. I almost stopped in the middle of my walk, but I didn't. I forced myself to keep going, but I couldn't help the fact that my mouth was gaping open unattractively as I stood on the side of the alter. Rosalie got to me a few seconds later and then the music switched to a 'bum bum da bum'. I almost missed Alice walking through the doors because I was staring at Edward.
He looked well, amazing in his tux. It outlined his whole body and his green eyes were gleaming with happiness. His tousled bronze hair was still it's messy self. He made eye contact with me and broke out into a breath-taking smile. I sucked in air and smiled back but quickly averted my gaze as Rosalie elbowed me on the side as Alice started walking into the church.
"Young love." She whispered and giggling which caused me to blush bright tomato red. Edward shook with silent laughter as though he could have heard what Rosalie had just said. To my horror I realized he was close enough to read Rosalie's lips. 'Thanks Rose.' I thought mentally.
Alice made it to the church alter and took Jasper's hand as her dad handed her off to him.
The ceremony happened quickly. After the vows and I do's by Alice and Jasper they kissed and linked arms and headed down the aisle towards the church doors together. Rosalie started walking and met Emmett at the end of the church alter just as Alice instructed them to do and linked arms and followed Alice and Jasper. My heart thumped unevenly as I approached to where I would meet Edwards figure waiting for me. My knee's shook but thankfully though the dress covered my knees so nobody could tell. But when Edward smiled at me all of my fears melted within an instant. I linked my arm around his and he walked together down the aisle.
"I missed you, beautiful Bella." He leaned down and whispered in my ear.
"I missed you too, all-too-nice-to-admit-the truth- Edward." I smiled.
"Bella, you look absolutely breath taking." He responded.
"Thanks but nothing compares to how handsome you look." I blushed.
"Hardly, Bella." He rolled his eyes. "But thank you. It's been a long three weeks without you."
"I know I really missed you a lot." I sighed.
"Bella! Come on! The limo is going to leave without you!" Rosalie called as Edward and I stepped out into the pavement.
I rolled my eyes and turned towards him. "See you in a few."
"Remember you promised me a dance." He winked and walked off towards his brothers.
"Bella, relax, calm down. Pretend it's like one of your concerts. I believe in you." Alice shushed me as we lined up to walk into the big ballroom from after taking pictures.
"Alice, I don't want to mess up your special dance." I breathed in and out. I knew this was ridiculous. Alice should be the one nervous! It was all about her today! Shouldn't she be afraid of messing up? Why was I the one who was nervous? Oh yeah, because I had to sing the most important song for the bride and groom! Why did I get so nervous over these things! I've sung in front of way larger crowds then this!
"Pretend everyone in is there underwear." Emmett came up from behind me.
"Really helpful Em." Jasper rolled his eyes. "Bella, I know you can do it, so stop worrying. You'll be great."
"Thanks Jasper." I smiled.
"Bella just look at us the whole time if you don't want to look into the crowd." Rosalie put in as we entered the huge ballroom.
Alice being Alice everything had to be grand. Twinkling lights filled the room and there were huge tables to fit everyone. The carpet was a rich purple color and the tablecloths were light lavender. Her cake was HUGE! It had about nine layers with Dark purple frosting and green trim all around it. Flowers decorated the sides for the cake. It was truly beautiful.
"It's okay. Everything will go great." Edward whispered in my ear as we lined up along the floor.
I felt like a wimp, but I wanted this to be the best this day could be for Alice.
Emmett went over to his microphone that he would be using to DJ. I took deep breaths calming myself down hoping that something to fill my stomach will calm my nerves and not have the reverse effect… make me puke.
Once Emmett introduced everyone besides Alice and Jasper, we watched as Alice and Jasper walked through the doors into the ballroom as Emmett announced the bride and groom. It was great. Emmett did a good job except I don't think Jasper found it as amusing as the rest of the crowd that Emmett introduced him as the "Jazz-man."
We all sat down and got our food within a few minutes. Eating calmed my nerves a little but I just hoped I didn't end up puking everywhere.
We watched had Alice and Jasper cut the cake and plop it into each other's mouths. Then before I knew it, it was time for the bride and groom's dance.
I walked up and grabbed the microphone Emmett was handing me and got up on the stage. I chewed my bottom lip and licked my lips and then started to speak.
"This song is for Jasper and Alice. I hope you guys have a wonderful life together. You guys are my best friends in the whole world and I don't know what I would do without you both."
Alice and Jasper smiled at me and then grabbed each other's hands and walked out to the center of the floor.
Emmett started the background music to the song while I filled in the lyrics. My hands shook slightly as I opened my mouth and began to sing.
(Inside Your Heaven by: Carrie Underwood)
I've been down
Now I'm blessed
I felt a revelation coming around
I guess its right, it's so amazing
Everytime I see you I'm alive
You're all I've got
You lift me up
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
I closed my eyes and smiled slightly to myself. I knew I could do this. I grew more confidant and realized this was actually quite fun. I opened my eyes and opened my mouth and gave it my all.
I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in
A soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
I slowed down a little and used more of a softer voice.
When we touch, when we love
The stars light up
The wrong becomes undone
Naturally, my soul surrenders
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in
A soothing wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
When minutes turn to days and years
If mountains fall, I'll still be here
Holdin you until the day I die
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in
A soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
Oh yes I do
I wanna be inside your heaven
I held out the last lyric longer then the rest and then looked around at everyone. Alice looked at me with delight after her and Jasper had finished twirling around the dance floor and the crowd erupted into applause. I walked back over to the table I was sitting at and Edward took my hand under the table and whispered, "See, that wasn't so bad was it?"
I smiled. "No."
"Great job Bella!" Rosalie complimented.
'Thanks." I smiled.
"Seriously! Your voice is so powerful and pure. The song you sang memorized me! I think the rest of the crowd was too. " She put her hand on my shoulder.
"Thanks." I replied again and then turned and watched as Alice and Jasper each took turns dancing with his mother and her father.
Once that had finished all of us girls got into a circle as Alice got ready to throw her bouquet. She walked over to us and turned around and threw the flowers high in the air. It sailed through the air and both Rosalie and I caught it at the exact same moment.
We both looked at each other and started laughing while Alice squealed. I saw Emmett grin and look down over and Edward and wiggle his eyebrows.
I blushed and looked down.
"Alright! Now we have some songs that Alice and the Jazz-man, just kidding Jasper relax." Emmett grinned as Jasper glared at him. "That Alice and Jasper have picked out! Let's start partying!" Emmett boomed throughout the air.
Everyone laughed and Rosalie and I got up on stage to sing the next song each grabbing a microphone.
"This is for Alice and Jasper!" Rosalie spoke. "Jasper, you better take care of her or else." Rosalie smiled. " but, so far you have done a good job so I'm not worrying too much."
I rolled my eyes. "Rosalie, now that you're done harassing Jasper, it's time to celebrate!"
"Right sorry Jasper." She laughed.
We both put the microphone to our lips as Emmett started playing the music.
(I hope you dance by: Lee Ann Womack)
(Bella underlined, Rosalie bold, Both: Bold and Underlined.)
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)
"Okay! Let's get away from this slow stuff! Let's REALLY get this party started!" Emmett boomed.
"Okay Emmett, then get up here! We need you for this song!" I laughed and he grabbed a microphone and jumped up on the stage.

"Okay, the next song is a classic! Get off your seats and move to the beat because this place is taking off to the LOVE SHACK!" Emmett yelled into the microphone. "Come on Eddie Boy, we need you up here too!" Emmett called towards his brother. Edward got up from his seat and grabbed a microphone.
"Call me that one more time…" Edward muttered as he got up on the stage.
"Alice and Jasper! Come on! We need everyone on the dance floor for this song! We need everyone pumped!" Rosalie called.
"Let's go people!" Alice called. All of the kids got up and ran to the floor as the adults followed behind them onto the dance floor and then Emmett started the music.
(Love Shack by: B-52's)
(Bella italicized. Rosalie underlined, Emmett bold, Edward normal writing, together it has a star * next to the lyric!)
If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the... Love Shack! Love Shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway,
lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale
and we're headin' on down

'cause love rules at the Lo-o-ove Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway
*The Love Shack is a little old place
*where we can get together
Love Shack bay-bee! Love Shack baby!

Huggin' and a kissin',

We all screamed the 'love shack' at the end and laughed.
"Now, we are going to be slowing down things a bit with a song that Edward will sing!" I spoke through the microphone and Emmett, Rosalie and I walked off the stage, leaving Edward up there alone.
I watched as Edward brought the microphone almost to his lips and started speaking. "Jasper and Alice, this song is for you both. I hope you have a great life together and hopefully Jasper you will be able to rein Alice in with her amount of shopping trips."
Alice laughed and kissed Jasper. "That's not going to happen!" She called. Everyone laughed and grabbed partners to slow dance.
Edward started singing as Emmett played the music.
(Have I told you lately that I love you by: Rod Stewart)
Have I told you lately that I love you
I sat in my seat and watched as everyone twirled around on the dance floor. Emmett grabbed Rosalie's hand and pulled her out to an open spot on the floor. After Edward had sung the first line he looked over to where I was sitting and started to walk off the stage in my direction as he sang.
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
He held his hand out as he reached me. My heart thumped unevenly as I put my hand into his and we walked out onto the dance floor as he continued to sing.
For the morning sun and all its glory
Meets the day with hope and comfort too
He wrapped his free arm around my waist as the other had was holding the microphone. We twirled around in that spot as he sang.
You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
We both store deep into each other's eyes and never looked away from one another. I heard a distant squeal within the crowd but I paid no attention to it because I was lost in Edward's deep green eyes.
There's a love that's defined
And it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the one, to the one
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
There's a love that's defined
And it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the one, to the one
He twirled me around in the spot with his breath taking crooked grin on his face. I laughed and smiled back and he continued to dance with me and sing.
And have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness, take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Fill my life with gladness take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
As he finished the last line the crowd applaud and he leaned down and whispered in my ear, "This dance doesn't count because I was singing." He winked and then led me back on stage because our duet was next.
"Introducing the two love birds!" Emmett spoke through the microphone as he reclaimed his original position behind all the stereos. Edward shot him a look and I blushed and looked down. "I mean here is Edward and Bella the non-love birds, *cough* love *cough* birds." He grinned. "They're going to sing the next song for us and sadly this is the last song that is going to be sung live. Okay, here they go!" Emmett boomed.
"This song is for Alice and Jasper." I spoke through the microphone.
(Crazier by: Taylor Swift)
(Bella italicized, Edward bold, togetherunderlined)
I've never gone with the wind
Just let it flow
Let it take me where it wants to go
Till you open the door
There's so much more
I've never seen it before
I was trying to fly
But I couldn't find wings
Then you came along
And you changed everything
You lift my feet off the ground
Spin me around
Each time we would sing, "You lift my feet off the ground, spin me around" Edward would lift me up and spin me to the other side of him.
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier,
Crazier, crazier
Watched from a distance as you
Made life your own
Every sky was your own kind of blue
And I wanted to know
How that would feel
And you made it so real
You showed me something that I couldn't see
Opened my eyes and you made me believe
You lift my feet off the ground
Spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier,
Crazier, crazier, oh
Baby, you showed me what living is for
I don't want to hide anymore
You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier,
Crazier, crazier
Crazier, crazier
The song finished and the crowd clapped and whistled. Edward and I paid no attention to them. We were facing each other staring into each other's eyes. Subconsciously, we moved closer to one another. Something about singing together gave me this weird feeling in my gut. It felt good. Singing together was almost magical. While singing it was like nobody could stop us. It was powerful.
"Attention love birds!" Emmett boomed into the microphone and that broke our eye contact and brought us back into reality.
We started walking off the stage together while Emmett announced it was "YMCA" time!
Alice and Jasper ran over to where we were standing. "Thank you so much!" Alice smiled. "You guys were amazing! You sang so well together. I think some people started to cry because of the way you sang that song! It was so heartfelt and it was sang with such emotion!"
"People meaning Alice." Jasper laughed.
"Alice?" I laughed.
"What! It was a beautiful song! Something just happened when you sang that song! It was beautiful!" She explained.
"Thank you for singing. You guys were very good." Jasper told us.
"I loved doing this! It was so much fun!" I responded.
"It was fun." Edward agreed.
Alice hugged us again and then ran off with Jasper to go talk with everyone.
Edward turned towards me and was about to say something but was cut off by a women's voice.
"Edward, are you too grown up to say hello to your parents?" A kind faced women hugged Edward. Her heart shaped face was pulled into a smile and her caramel colored hair was pulled into a delicate bun.
"No, sorry mom, I was just about to come over." He kissed her cheek. "Besides, I just saw you two days ago and I didn't hesitate to say hello at the airport."
"True." She laughed and looked over at me. "So, you are the famous Isabella. I have heard so much about you. I love your music."
"Please call me Bella. And thank you." I smiled.
"Bella, this is my mother." Edward introduced me.
"Pleased to meet you Mrs. Cullen." I smiled.
"Please Bella, call me Esme, Mrs. Cullen makes me sound old." She laughed.
"Oh, sorry." I blushed.
"No need to be sweetheart." She smiled easily.
"Hello Edward." A tall handsome man came up from behind Edward and clasped him on the shoulder. He had blonde hair and a kind aura towards him.
"Hi dad." Edward responded. "Dad, this is Bella, Bella this is my dad."
"Pleased to meet you Bella. Please call me Carlisle."
"It's nice to meet you." I said shaking your hand.
"Your singing was exceptional. Edward wasn't exaggerating about your talent." He smiled.
"Oh, well thank you." I blushed and pretended not to notice as Edward shot his dad a look.
"Okay, well we will leave you two be." Esme smiled. "It was nice to meet you Bella. I hope that I will see you again soon."
"It was nice to meet you too. And of course." I smiled.
"Pleasure to meet you Bella." Carlisle smiled.
He took Esme's hand and they walked out together onto the dance floor not before I saw Edward shoot his parents another look.
"They were nice." I smiled.
"Thank you." He said turning towards me. "Now, Miss Swan I believe you owe me the pleasure of a dance." He smiled his crooked simile as he pulled me onto the dance floor as Emmett started to play the next song.
(That's where it is by: Carrie Underwood)
In the circles I've been running,
I've covered many miles.
He placed one hand on my hip and his other hand grabbed my opposite hand. My free hand was laying on his shoulder. The music flooded through the room and everyone matched their dance to the tempo of the music.
And I could search forever,
For what's right before my eyes
Just when I thought I'd found it,
It was nothing like I planned.
And when I got my heart around it,
It slipped right through my hands.
Here with you, I feel it.
I close my eyes and see it.
I knew that this song that was playing now was our song. It was a song that that fitted Edward and I perfectly and I hoped that he felt the same way.
I wanted so badly to talk about our feelings but I didn't know when we could. Would we talk tonight? Tomorrow? When?
In a midnight talk,
In a morning kiss,
When I'm in your arms,
That's where it is.
When we're tangled up,
And can't resist.
When we feel that rush,
That's where it is.
That's where it is.
I noticed how now when Edward and my hand made contact the electricity had calmed and it was just a warm comfortable feeling now.
"Do you feel that?" I blurted out without thinking.
When I'm crashing through the madness,
Not sure who I'm supposed to be.
"Feel what?" He asked pulling me closer towards him.
When I'm caught up in the darkness,
But your hand that's leading me.
"I mean, did you um… feel like…electricity whenever our skin made contact?" I asked hesitantly.
You bring me back to solid ground.
You lift me up right here, right now
"Yes but now it's gone. It's a warm feeling now. It feels nice." He smiled at me.
"Yes, I'm glad you do because I thought I was going crazy!" I laughed.
"I like the feeling better." He mused.
"Me too. Do you know like ah…what the electricity means?" I asked blushing.
In a midnight talk,
In a morning kiss,
"Soul mates." He responded.
"Yes. Well that's what Alice and Jasper told me."
When I'm in your arms,
That's where it is.
"Bella, I need to explain my feelings to you properly." Edward looked me in the eye. "I am absolutely crazy about you Bella and I hope you feel the same-."
When we're tangled up,
And can't resist.
When we feel that rush,
That's where it is.
"I already told you, I do." I smiled as we continued to spin around in our little spot on the floor.
It's a lifetime filled with tiny graces,
The biggest things in the smallest places
In a midnight talk,
In a morning kiss,
When I'm in your arms,
That's where it is.
When we're tangled up,
And can't resist.
When we feel that rush,
That's where it is.
"I really like this song." Edward said grasping my hand tighter.
In the sweetest smile,
On a night like this
"I do too. I was thinking about that when the song began." I blushed.
On a tender touch,
That's where it is
"I still need to explain everything to you." Edward said changing the subject abruptly.
When we're tangled up,
And can't resist.
When we feel that rush,
That's where it is.
"Okay, then let's go and talk." I said stunned by my sudden confidence boost.
That's where it is.
"Okay." He smiled and grabbed my hand and led me to the far end of the room where it wasn't occupied and was distant from everyone else.
"Edward, before when we were talking to your parents, why were you giving them looks?" I asked hesitantly as I sat down in the chair he offered me and then he took a seat facing me.
"I was afraid that they had said too much. When my mother said, "I have heard so much about you." And my father said, "Edward wasn't exaggerating about your talent." I felt like it was too pushy and too fast because I have talked about you to my parents but I never dreamed they would say anything. I just didn't want to seem like an obsessed stalker maniac guy." He laughed.
"No, I think it's sweet. You're the first person who has ever cared so much for me besides Rose and Alice." I responded.
"Bella." He said tucking a loose strand of hair from my face. "You're the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have never felt a connection with anyone but you. You unravel my true self. You're the only one who truly understands me. You are the prettiest, smartest and nicest girl I have ever met. Will you please go out with me and be my girlfriend."
"Of course." I smiled. "Edward, I need you to know my feelings for you. I haven't felt so happy around anyone this long since like a year ago. You also bring out my true self. I never have to stay strong around you. I can be myself. I am crazy about you also. You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this day. I wish I had listened to Alice and Rosalie in the first place about you liking me, they were right all along. I just wanted to say thank you."
"For what?" He asked making circles on my hand.
"For liking me for me, not for what I have or because I am a singer." I looked right into his deep beautiful eyes.
"Bella, I promise, I will never hurt you. I will never lie to you. I will always be there for you. I wouldn't care if you were rich or poor, famous or not famous, I fell for you because of you not because of what you have."
"You took the words right out of my mouth." I smiled. "So we're like boyfriend and girlfriend?" I breathed.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting for that?" He laughed.
"Too long. Four months." I whispered. "I- I feel like you're too good to be real."
'That's where you are wrong. I'm the one who doesn't deserve you. You're so beautiful and the purest girl I have ever met."
"I'm not that beautiful" I say looking down. "You're exaggerating."
"Bella, what made you to believe that you're not beautiful. You're SO beautiful inside and out." He looked at me studying my eyes but I didn't respond, I didn't have to, he already understood. "Bella, you honestly believe what that jerk said? Bella, listen to me, I told you I would never lie to you. You trust that I would never lie to you right?"
"Yes." I responded.
"Then trust me when you hear this. You are beautiful. You walk into the room and all the guys gawk, I've watched it before. You are an angel Bella. Nobody in this world is as beautiful as you."
I leaned down into his shoulder and he slid his arm around me. "You're the nicest, handsomest and my greatest guy friend I have ever had that is now my boyfriend." I felt his chest vibrate as he laughed.
"Thank you." He responded and cupped my chin and forced me to look upwards. "Bella…" He faded off as he scanned the room, "There is one thing I have been waiting to do for a long time." His breath washed over my face as he leaned in towards me.
I moved closer towards him and our lips were centimeters apart when there was a loud call, "I FOUND THEM! OH CRAP!" Rosalie yelled over to Alice and then she realized what was happening and walked over towards us.
I leaned back up and blushed crimson red.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't know…" She faded off covering her mouth in horror. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you guys."
"No, it's okay." I said standing up and Edward stood up beside me and held my hand.
"We were just ah… we were going to come back in like two seconds." Edward murmured.
"No, you weren't!" Rosalie sighed. "Really I'm sorry, if you would like to carry on, I'll leave."
"No, really we should be getting back." I smiled.
"Yes, don't feel bad." Edward insisted as we walked back over to a table where Alice, Jasper and Emmett were sitting.
"So…" Emmett had a huge goofy grin on his face.
"Are you guys together?" Alice asked eyes wide.
I looked up at Edward and he looked back at me and shrugged smiling. "Yeah, we are kind of together. Yeah, were together." I said.
"Oh my god! This is the most amazing night ever!" Alice squealed.
I couldn't agree with her more.
