~Chapter 25~
...With Valentine's Day
BPOV
It was now Valentine's Day. One of most loved and even hated holidays ever created.
I've never had a real opinion about it. I had never been in love before meeting Edward.
Maybe that is why I feel as if this mushy gushy holiday has more meaning now.
Valentine's Day is the one holiday that should be full of love. That is why it was created in my opinion.
To celebrate what being in love really means.
So, why does it feel as if somebody is going to have a broken heart today?
I had that strange feeling in my stomach when I woke up this morning.
I just don't understand. Maybe somebody will get their heart broken today. Or, I'm just nervous about the party.
My parents were hosting a Valentine's Day party at my house this evening and the whole town was invited.
I really couldn't wait, even with the feeling.
I slip on my rose pink dress and start fixing my hair. My dress was beautiful, I must admit. It was silky soft and had off-the-shoulder sleeves.
I fix my hair into an elegant bun, smiling at my reflection.
Now I'm not being self-centered or anything. I'm just saying that I look good. Maybe not as good as Alice and Rose can pull it off, but I have my own perfection. I don't to be wishing to have that beauty. I like my beauty as it is.
I stand up and start walking downstairs. I could see many people already here. In their formal wear, looking as if they weren't at some middle-class home. It looked as if they were at some royal ball.
I finish descending the stairs and feel an arm snake around my waist. I look up and see my Edward.
I smile. "Hey Edward." I say quietly.
He gives me his infamous crooked grin. "Good evening my love. Shall we dance?"
I look over to my living room where I could see a few couples dancing. I could see the love in their eyes as they danced. There was even an older couple, who I had to envy. Older couples were always the sweetest to watch. Because, their love shows you that love really does exist in a world where many have divorced, been beaten, or have been abandoned. Therefore, I love to watch them. It gives me hope more each time.
I look at Edward with my own love. "Of course."
I wound my arm around his and started walking to the living room with my dear Edward.
At that moment, a song came on. One Edward and I had declared as our song.
Claire De Lune was playing through the speakers. The sound so sweet and innocent. How could nobody like it?
I looked into Edward's eyes, knowing that love will last in time. No matter the situation.
I bury my face into Edward's chest and smile.
Edward lays his cheek on the top of my head. I could feel his cheekbone move into a smile.
I love being here with Edward. Because, it was worth all I had before him. I would sacrifice my own life for him.
The song soon ended. I soon noticed that we had stopped dancing and were looking into each other's eyes.
We both leaned in to kiss. The kiss was anything but ordinary. It was extraordinary. I loved how it felt. The passion was major, but controlled. This, by all means, was good. There was no need to have a make-out session in the middle of my living room with many people watching.
Edward and I pulled back, taking deep breaths and staring into each other's eyes.
Now, I may sound all lovey dovey, but what I say I'm feeling is true. Why wouldn't it be?
Edward and I were finally pulled out of the trance by the sound of my jumpy sister's voice.
I held back my groan and walked to our friends with Edward at my side.
We walked up and I gave them a smile. "Hey guys. What's up?"
"Renée said we need to start getting the line-up ready for karaoke." Rosalie said, looking down at the clipboard.
"Who's on there?" Edward asked.
"Um…let's see. You, Nessie, Jacob, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, and some people from school." Alice said, looking at the clipboard too.
I let out a breath. At least I'm not on there.
"Oh! And Bella is too." Rosalie announced, looking up at us.
I froze. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"But----uh. I don't want to sing." I stuttered.
"Please Bella! Please?!" Alice begged.
I grumbled. "Fine." I crossed my arms and everybody laughed.
We got the line-up ready within minutes.
First up was Jacob.
He sang Gotta Be Somebody by Nickelback.
After that, it continued.
Some kids from school, Alice and Jasper, more kids from school, Emmett, and then it was my turn.
I was about to step on stage when I remember why we're having this anyway. We're having Nessie sing a song that describes her feelings for Jacob. I think it's brilliant.
I step on the stage that we got into our living room somehow, said I was dedicating this to Edward, and start singing No One by Alicia Keys.
I finish singing and smile at Edward as the crowd cheered. I barely listened to the crowd. Looking at Edward was my only priority at that moment.
Alice and Rosalie ended up dragging me off the stage, launching into about a billion comments.
Good comments, of course. What do you expect to come from your loved ones?
Next up was Nessie. We told her to sing Things I'll Never Say by Avril Lavigne. We also told her to say that the song was dedicated to Jacob.
Nessie walked onto the stage with a slight blush. My friend might be random, but she does blush in these situations. "Hey! My name is Nessie Cullen! I'm going to dedicate this song to Jacob Black!" She yelled. There came the confidence.
Nessie starts to sing. And I must say. She did an awesome performance.
I especially love the first verse and the chorus. It really gets into how she feels for Jacob.
The first verse and chorus starts to float around in my head when she finishes.
I'm tugging out my hair
I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I'm staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head
[Pre-Chorus]
(And) I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth this
Yeah
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you - away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
I'll admit it. That was how I felt when I got to know Edward. It sometimes hurts, but you feel great because love is a powerful thing. I just don't get why it can be difficult at times.
Now, Edward and I haven't had anything real problems yet. Only 'The Snobs' are a problem for us.
But, we won't let that get us down. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever.
Nessie grins and leaves the stage.
Now, it was time for the final performance.
Edward.
He got on the stage, looking very handsome in the bright lights that shined down on him. (I wonder how we got stage lights.)
"I'm going to dedicate this to Bella." He smiles over at me and starts to sing You Can by David Archuleta.
Such a beautiful song that expresses the many reasons Valentine's Day was made.
Take me where I've never been
Help me on my feet again
Show me that good things come to those who wait
Tell me I'm not on my own
Tell me I won't be alone
Tell me what I'm feeling isn't some mistake
Cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can,
Set me from myself, you can,
And it's you, and no one else
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end
If you asked me, I would follow
But for now I'd just pretend
Cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can
Baby when you look at me, tell me what do you see
Are these the eyes of some one you could love?
Cause everything that brought me here
Well now it all seems so clear
Baby you're the one that I've been dreaming of
If anyone can make me fall in love,
You can,
Set me from myself, you can,
And it's you, and no one else
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end
If you asked me, I would follow
But for now I'll just pretend
Cause if anyone can make me fall in love
Only you can take me,
Sailin' in your deepest eyes
Bring me to my knees and make me cry
And no one's ever done this
Everything was just a lie
And I know, yes I know
This is where it all begins
So tell me it'll never end
I can't fool myself, it's you and no else
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end
If you ask me, I would follow
But for now I'll just pretend
If anyone can make me fall in love,
You can
Show me that good things come to those who wait
The audience roared and hollered. I did too, because honestly, it was so amazing and heart-felt.
When Edward got off the stage, he went directly for me.
I smiled. He finally got to me and kissed me fully on the lips.
Do I have to say it? Well, I was on my own personal heaven. It was more than I could ask for.
We pulled apart and smiled at each other.
As we were walking into the kitchen, I saw Nessie and Jacob making-out from the corner of my eye.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~2 hours later~
Edward and I were cleaning the living room at the moment.
The party had just ended 30 minutes and we needed to clean the place up.
As soon as we finished the living room, Alice and Nessie came running in.
"Guess what!!!" Alice yelled.
"What?" I asked, rubbing my ear. She yells too loudly.
Alice looks at Nessie.
Nessie shouts, "Jessica got a boyfriend and has left 'The Snobs.'"
I gap at this new information, and then scream. I can't believe we have one less person to worry about!
So, I guess that feeling I had earlier was just nerves.
Yes. It is somewhat corny, but who cares?! Lol. Links for songs will be on as soon as possible. Err...oh yeah!! Remember to try out my challenge!!! :) Oh! And check out my newest story. I call this a love square. It's yet another serious story of mine. I'm taking it seriously because I think it could have an awesome future in fanfic world. Lol. Well, review my dear readers!!!!
