----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bella POV for now…..
Sarah Ran to fix my necklace…. and Tomas opened the Door. There he was Edward. In a Handsome
black suit flowers in his hands. " Come in Mr. Cullen" Tomas said with authority.
" thank you… Mr. Lockwood" Edward answered with complete respect, he gazed at me for what seemed like forever and then finally, he stepped towards me handing beautiful white roses. I blushed and stepped forward…..and took the flowers in my hands.
" Thank you Edward, they are beautiful "
" Not as beautiful as you I am afraid…." He whispered. I gasped. jeez could this be any more embarrassing? In front of Tomas….. I don't even know what to say…my blush deepened. Finally Sarah stepped forward " ah hem…. Well you guys should be on your way! "
" yes, we should get going…" Edward stated glancing at the clock..
" Ill see you guys at the Ball." I called as we headed for the door. Tomas and Sarah smiled and waved as I stepped out and Edward lead me to the Black Limo which was smaller than the regular size…built for two people I was guessing…..I began to reach my hand out to open the door but Edward was quicker and opened it for me getting in after me. Edward gave the driver the okay to go and we drove off.
" I am kind of nervous….I don't really dance." I murmured to Edward he laughed as if he remembered a funny joke or something. " don't worry I am pretty good at leading."
Edward's Pov
Bella sighed and fumbled with her dress. I was funny seeing her act like this now and remembering her when I took her to the prom in Forks.
It seemed so long ago now….Six years…..if she hadn't been turned into a child then she would have been 24 years old….
I wondered what kind of life she would have been leading…..if I would have come back …….If she would have remained a human….
There was still so much I didn't know about her….. like her past …..was her life always connected with Vampires?
Would it be true….would her life end naturally at 17 ? I…….
" are you alright?" Bella asked leaning forward. Without realizing it her hand lightly rested on mine.
I leaned in also….. I closed my eyes and answered " yes, I was just thinking…"
She opened her mouth but the driver stopped the car and we where in front of the school.
She removed her hand now abruptly …I stared at her intently and she noticed….the driver opened the door and I got out helping her out of the limo.
The school was brightly lit…it shined and a crowd of people where walking in…music could be heard from the inside.
Bella's eyes widened " Amazing." she whispered pulling out her mask I smiled and did the same. I held my arm for hers and she took it as we both walked in.
Bella POV
The Ball looked wonderful it was a splash of color from the dresses and masks the Large Chandeliers lit the room and the Ballroom music was played by a band with Black suits and golden Masks. I marveled at the sights and Edward pulled me closer to him…
" Bella!" Mary and Rebecca Sang as they spotted me pulling there dates along. We hugged and chatted.
" So Edward do you enjoy the scenery." Rebecca asked Smiling slyly
" Yes, among other things…" He stated with charm. She blushed and Mary laughed.
The Music was about to started again
" Care for a dance?" Edward held out his hand for mind and brought me toward the dance floor among the other couples. I was nervous but he took a hold of my waist and my put my hand on his shoulder and took the other one. He smiled a dashingly crooked smile and I gave him one too. The Music started and He lead the way swaying me and twirling me in an piano and violin song that was lively. I laughed and got the hang of the dance. The Whole room was a blur of colors and lights. Another song came up and we glided across the room. It was so much fun! And Edward seem to enjoy himself also laughing and smiling with me. We stopped after the third song and I put my hand over my chest and leaned against him catching my breath.
" Haha I knew you would get the hang of it " Edward chuckled.
I laughed lightly easily and people got lined up for a slow dance Edward stepped closer to me….
" May I Take miss Swan hand for a Dance" A voice asked Edward…. I turned knowing it was Ryan's . Edward stiffened and gave him a cold glare " Its her choice." he answered darkly.
They both stared at me. " Y…Yes….. I would be honored by the school president." I finally spoke giving him the same Formality he gave me the other day. Ryan didn't look upset but took my hand and lead me politely to the dance floor. He held me close and positioned my arms on his shoulders. I gave a glance in Edward's direction who was watching us intently.
The music started and Ryan held my waist closer to him twirling me when it was appropriate.
" So are you and Edward enjoying yourselves?" He spat. I flinched.
" Yes he's a good dancer and has been guiding me." I answered coldly…annoyed. He looked down and whispered in my ear " I ….Need….to talk to you Bella…..alone."
" What is there to say? You ignore me when I try to talk to you…." I murmured.
" I am sorry I have been rude…..I really am…you don't deserve that…." He answered softly.
I looked away from him and said nothing still angry. We continued to glide. He took my chin with his hand and forced me to look at him. I stared into his eyes and they where full of visible emotion.
" Please." He spoke with a serious face.
The song ended and couples moved all around us….Ryan used that as an advantage and grabbed my hand pulling me away from the Ballroom. And into a his office a couple of doors down. I was uneasy and I jumped when Ryan closed the door. And stepped closer to me…..I backed away and he stepped closer and backed me into a wall. " Ryan ?" I whispered softly. He leaned into me and I felt light headed.
" I cant stand to see you dance and give Edward sweet smiles…while I watch…" He whispered into my ear.
" What….why…." I started but he cut me off……
" I am jealous Bella. Because I love you….I always have." He pulled me closer pulling me in and embrace!
What he ….he loves ….me? Is that why….but….Edward….uhhh this is making me confused….
I tried to think but Ryan brushed his lips against mine braking my thoughts. He picked me up and laid me on the couch!
Wha….What??!? I looked up in alarm and I shivered. He leaned over me on the couch and smoothed my hair….. "Bella…." he breathed " I love you " He Kissed me passionately not waiting for me to speak…..I kissed him back a little not lying to a part of my heart that wanted this but another part thought of Edward. He let my lips free and held me. " Ryan….I…" I gasped trying to find words to say…..
I stopped breathing ….images….filled my mind thing I didn't remember……Images Of Ryan and me…….and Edward and me…..I Gasped and my eyes widened! What was I seeing?….I don't…remember!!! why?
….what where are these….memories……
The door suddenly burst open!!!
and Edward walked in….. and froze seeing me and Ryan on the couch…
