(BELLA'S P.O.V)

BACK TO PRESENT

Forks, Washington

I could feel Rosalie's arm on my waist tightened as I retell my not so pleasant school experience in Phoenix. She's not saying anything but I knew she's suppressing her anger towards James. Her body language said it all. I could tell by the way she's clenching her fist ever so tightly, by the way her brightly gold eyes would change to a dark pitch of black or by just the way she was holding me protectively. She's furious.

"Rose, it's okay. It's all in the past now. James was dead and I'm safe. Here with you." I said softly smiling at her as I reached her clenching fist giving it a gentle squeeze. It amazed me how easily her tense posture relaxed at my touch. Her lips quirking upward just the tiniest bit but soon grew to a full smirk as she thought of something.

"Will you be disappointed if I tell you I'm thinking of ways to torture each and everyone in your former school for treating you badly especially that Bree bitch?" she sounds serious and I can already see the wheels in her brain turning as she began formulating cruel scenarios she's planning on doing to those poor schoolmates of mine. And by the looks of it, she was having fun.

"I hate to interrupt your fun but I don't like the thought of anyone getting hurt so I'll appreciate it if you just leave them." I narrowed my eyes in surprise when I saw Rosalie freaking Hale actually pout! Rosalie realizing what she's doing turned away. I guess if she can blush she'll be blushing now. And of course I won't let this rare chance of teasing her to slip away.

"You're pouting." I teasingly said to her, smirking widely while I force her face to look at me. And as expected a glare greeted me as soon as we came face to face but I was not affected. How could I? I am having too much fun. I can't help but giggle.

"No I am NOT." she replied defiantly crossing her arms in her chest as she continue glaring at me but I could already see the pout forming her lips before she turned her face again. Hiding her pout obviously. I'm really trying hard not to laugh fully causing me to bit my bottom lip hard. To think that a known cold, bad-ass bitch Rosalie Hale could actually pout like a child is truly amusing. Who would have thought?

"Aww Rose, you're so cuuuute!" at Rosalie's look of horror, I can't hold it back anymore. I burst in laughter really hard, clutching my side in the process.

"Cu-cute?! I am so NOT cute! I'd say you're the cute one here." Rosalie said the last part quietly but I heard it clearly. I stopped laughing at that and quirk an eyebrow.

"You think I'm cute?" I still have a smile on my face. Rosalie look shy now and it is really catching me off guard. One moment she's angry then defensive and all of a sudden she's acting all shy. It was cute. This side of her. I found it so endearing. And it left me wanting/needing to know more about her. 'I am really falling in love with this woman huh?'

"You are. Not just cute, you're adorable, lovely, pretty, charming, beautiful, gorgeous, stunning-"

It was too much. Her words, her compliment, her eyes full of admiration, the sincerity in her voice, her lips... Her sweet cold lips... I- I need to kiss it. So I did. I kissed her making her words died on her throat. She was surprise at first but within second I felt her kissed me back.

It was like magic. The kind that left you in awe. And at this moment this is what exactly I am feeling. I am in awe. Rosalie's lips is heaven! The taste, the texture and the fact that she's reciprocating in the same passion is the best feeling in the world I ever felt.

"What was that for?" Rosalie asked smiling happily after breaking the kiss gently so I can catch my breath. Our foreheads still touching.

"You keep complimenting me like I'm the most beautiful in the world where in truth it is you. You're like a Goddess. Heck, you're more beautiful than a Goddess!" a smile broke to my face when I heard the beautiful sound of laughter coming from my Goddess. 'She really is beautiful.'

"Bella, have you even met or saw a Goddess before?" she laughed again when she saw me shook my head negative in response then turn serious as she continue "And believe me, in my world you are the most beautiful woman to me."

"Uhm okay. So... we kissed?" I said blushing uncomfortably and it didn't helped me that Rosalie is sitting there with an amuse look on her face not even bothering to hide her enjoyment watching me squirm in embarrassment.

"Yes Bella YOU kissed me." if it possible my blush deepened to a darker shade of red when she emphasize that I was the one initiated the kiss. Rosalie's grin grew wider.

"Rosalie!" I whined she is obviously having fun seeing me blushing.

"What? It's true. And by the way I don't mind it one bit. I actually enjoyed it." she replied her grin ever present on her face.

"Really?" seeing her nod in confirmation, a smile easily broke on my face. "I did too."

"Great! I was really hoping you did because I want to take you on a date. That is if you want to." she looks so hopeful. To be honest I really want to go on a date with her too but she has a mate somewhere else. What if she meets her mate? What's going to happen to me? Will Rosalie leave me heartbroken?

"W-what about your mate?" I asked nervously. I'm not even sure if I wanted to know her answer but I need to. I can't just go dating her knowing there's someone else, a mate destined for only her. I saw Rosalie's brow furrowed.

"You're worried that I'll meet my mate someday and leave you for her, aren't you?" I manage to nod sadly before turning my head away not wanting to meet her eyes. Just thinking about it hurts too much and I felt like crying. "Bella look at me. You have nothing to worry about. I'm not going to leave you. I lo- like you so much."

"You're saying that now because you never met him/her yet. I know about vampire mating, Rose. Marcus had explained it to me a long time ago. You maybe care about me now but what you'll feel about your mate once you meet her/him will be stronger than that. Your mate will be your everything, the love of your life for eternity." a single tear fell down my cheek then another and another until I felt Rosalie's cold hand cupped my cheeks lovingly as her thumb wiped the tears away.

"It pain me to see you in tears, Bella. Whenever you're sad, upset or hurt I felt like someone's ripping my heart to pieces. Please don't cry, my Princess." the sincerity and seriousness in Rosalie's voice made me want to burst in tears more but I held it back not wanting to worry Rosalie more.

"Sorry. I-it just hurt to know you are meant to be with someone else, your mate. Because Rose I'm falling more and more in love with you everyday." I looked straight to Rosalie's eyes as I said this. I want to convey, show her how deep my love for her. "Is it selfish to wish and hope that you won't meet your mate?"

(ROSALIE'S P.O.V)

Pure happiness.

That's just one of too many emotions I am feeling at this very moment. While Bella is crying her heart out, I am here wiping her tears away and smiling like an idiot. Can anybody blame me? The love of my life just confess her love to me! Of course I'll be very happy!

"I love you too, Bella. I'm in lo-"

"Ro-" I stopped her by placing my finger to her lips. It was oh so soft and warm. 'Gosh, I feel like kissing her.' I shook that thought away for now knowing what I will tell to her is more important.

"Hear me out first, please? I need you to know this." when I saw her nod, I removed my finger to her lips and continue "Isabella Marie Swan, I'm very much in love with you. The first time I locked gaze with you in the cafeteria that fateful day, I knew. I knew I found my happiness, my world, my everything. It is you, Bella. You're my mate. And I want nothing more than to spend my eternity loving you. I love you so much, Bella." to prove my point I gently placed my lips to her's putting all my feelings to it.

"Why you didn't tell me sooner? God Rosalie, I'm worrying over nothing!" Bella exclaimed once we pulled away. I smiled at her happily even though I'm a bit guilty for worrying her. If I knew she feels the same I would have told her sooner.

"Sorry, Princess. I don't have a confidence to tell you. I was afraid you won't feel the same and that I will scare you away if you found out. Forgive me?"

"I don't like being called 'Princess' but for you I'll make an exception. And yes you're forgiven."

"Thanks love. Now, about the date..."

"What date?"

"I ask you awhile ago remember?"

"Yup but I didn't remember giving you an answer."

"Then you can answer now."

"Hmm... I don't know, Rose."

I frown. Didn't Bella said she loves me? Did she changed her mind? Is that why she wasn't sure if she'll go on a date with me? My frowned deepened at this thought. Looking back to Bella's beautiful face, I noticed how hard she's biting her lips trying not to laugh. Her eyes filled with mirth. She's teasing. Again.

"I hate you!" I said while glaring playfully at her. I know she wants to see me pout again for some strange reason she found it cute. But Rosalie Lillian Hale Do Not pout. Scowl yes but not pout

"Alright, no date then." Bella then turned back to leave but before she could go farther, I managed to grabbed her hand stopping her.

"Wha- didn't you said you love me?" I don't like to sound whiny but I'm too desperate to care.

"Didn't you said you hate me?" Bella replied as she face me again. Her brow was raised in questioning.

"Oh come on, Bella. You know I didn't mean it." that's when I saw it. Her amuse bright smile that can rival a sun.

"I know, love. I'm just teasing. You're too cute when you're whining and pouting. And yes I'll go on a date with you." with a light kiss on my nose, Bella hurriedly ran back to the direction of the school. Laughing heartily on the way. I can't help but giggle at my princess' antics. Only Bella can make me whine and pout. And yup. I'm admitting it now. I pouted and whined in Bella's presence. With a shake of my head, I began running too, catching up with my human mate.

"You do realize that afternoon class ended up ten minutes ago, right?" I said to Bella once I caught up with her.

"Actually I just now noticed. I didn't know that our talk took too much time. But I'm glad we had that talk. I feel much much better now." I can see it. She looks happier now, not that she was unhappy before but I guess talking about her past and our love confession was the major reason she looks so happy. It was a very attractive sight.

"Good. Let's go I'll drive you home." reaching her hand, we walked to the school's parking lot hand in hand not even care that most of the students body are looking at us in intrigue.

The drive to Bella's house was comfortable. We conversed, teased and sang along with the music played on to the radio. It was a short drive and yet it was the happiest and most enjoyable drive I had.

After dropping Bella off safely to their house, I drove straight to our home only to park it to the garage and leave again to hunt. I promised Bella to visit her tonight to her room so I decided to hunt early. I made sure to be quick so I can still have time to take a bath and change to a pleasant clothes. I have a mate to impress after all.

It was already dark when I got home. And as always, Esme was there at the door welcoming me home with a motherly hug and kiss on my cheek.

"You look happy." Esme commented when she saw me smiling widely. We both walked inside the house. Jasper and Emmet are playing an x-box while Edward and Alice watching them. I'm guessing Carlisle is in his study room as always.

"Understatement of the year, Esme. Rose finally grew a backbone and asked Bella on a date which of course got a 'yes' from our future baby sister Bella." Alice chimed in before I could response to Esme. I'm not surprise that Alice knew about it since I'm sure she already seen it to her vision.

"Is it true?" Esme asked excitedly. At my nod of confirmation, Esme squealed joyfully like a schoolgirl. "Finally! I am so happy for you, Rose."

"Oooh, I have a new baby sis!" Emmet gleefully cheered.

"Baby sis? Really, Emmy-boy and Tink? I don't think our Bella will like that. Can't we just use the term little sis?" Jasper commented amused.

"Nope! She's way too young compare to us." Alice said crossing her arms to her chest childishly.

"Right, right." agreed Emmet enthusiastically.

"But you two acted more like a toddler than Bella most of the time." Edward pointed out earning a giggle from Jasper and Esme even I can't help but joined too.

"Right, right!" Jasper exclaimed as he giggled mirroring Emmet's line from before earning another laugh this time with Carlisle joining us and a glare from my two child-like siblings.

The conversation carried on until I noticed that it was already late. I excused myself politely and headed to my room. I'm in the middle of choosing a change of clothes when Alice knocked on my door.

"My vision said you'll be stuck here for hours if I don't help you choose an outfit." Alice stated smirking as she made her way to my closet. I rolled my eyes. Alice was exaggerating. After a few minutes Alice handed me the clothes she chose then sat to my bed.

"Thanks, Ali. Now tell me what you really came here for." Alice hesitated but after a long silence she decided to speak.

"I had a vision this morning. It's weird. I mean it felt weird. The vision was blurred. I can't even make out the face of the woman in my vision and yet I knew she's beautiful. When I think of her, I felt this intense longing though I'm not sure why. I don't understand."

"What else did you felt?" I asked Alice with intrigued. As far as I know I only felt intense longing when I first laid eyes with my Bella.

"It was jumbled. I was excited, overjoyed, I long for her, I want to protect her, there's an admiration, attraction then the vision stopped and I felt this sudden sadness and intense longing. It was all confusing." Alice explained with a deep frown.

"You know that was exactly what I felt with Bella, my mate." I said smiling softly at my sister. It's funny how her eyes widen in realization. Her mouth open and close repeatedly not knowing what to say.

"M-my mate. Rose, the woman in my vision is my mate! Oh my god what am I gonna do? What if she doesn't like me? Oh god Rose, I think she's human. Oh god, oh god, oh god!" Alice was now pacing back and forth in front of me and if I'm human I'm sure I'll be having a headache now watching her.

"Sis, calm down. Stop worrying because I have no doubt that woman will like you. You're hot, you're stunning, you're fun to be with, kind, loving, what is there not to like about you?" I said seriously making her stop pacing and faced me with a hopeful look.

"You think so?" I nodded my head reassuringly.

"I know so." I assured her with a smile "So stop worrying and let me take a shower. I have a pretty woman waiting for me you know." Alice and I share a giggle for a moment before I became serious again "I want you to be happy, Alice. If this woman is your happiness then you have my full support human or not."

"Thank you, Rose." Alice said appreciatively giving me a tight hug which I return wholeheartedly. When we pulled away, Alice has this huge smile on her perfect face making me return the gesture not just as huge as her's. She left after that and I finally took my shower humming softly as I rethink the events of this day.

'It was a perfect day. I can't wait to see you again my beautiful Princess.'
