Love Story: Forbidden Love
Previously on Forbidden Love-
I got "sleeping" Jasper out of his car and we all crossed the bridge to the gazebo where we talked and sat and just hang out, enjoying each other's company for about 2 hours and by then it was 7:30, we all watched the beauty of the sky when the sunset and then we drove back to the palace. Everyone will be sleeping over for the whole weekend and will leave Monday morning for school. Me and Rose always wanted to go to a public school with our friends, but we have personal tutors at home. I hope the girl is still at the ball my parents threw for me. I couldn't wait to just see her face again and the beauty that shines out of her.
Chapter Two: Her/Him
Edward's POV
Where is she? Did she leave? What's her name? How old is she? Is she a princess? From another place? Does she speak English? Ugh, so many questions and thoughts going on in my mind, if I don't get at least one question answered I swear my head just might explode!
I was about to go walking around when Alice pulled me aside. "What!" I hissed.
"You need to change." She said simply and I looked down to see I was wearing jeans and the collared shirt, at least I still had my Italian shoes, they were just a little muddy. Alice thrust some clothes into my hand and pushed me into the bathroom.
I sighed when I saw what she gave me, at least it was something normal, black slacks, a long tie and a tuxedo jacket. I guess I wear the shirt I have now. When I was done Alice looked me up and down and reached behind me to pull out some paper towels, "Wipe the mud from your shoes." I groaned and started to do as she said. It looked better than before but Alice wasn't content with it yet, she pushed me into the bathroom again and grabbed some more paper towels. She claimed that my shoes were dull and not shinny enough, so she wiped every inch of it with a wet cloth.
"Done yet?"
"Perfect!" Alice smiled then she adjusted my tie and danced away.
Sigh, Alice will be Alice. I walked out of the bathroom on a mission. A mission to find the girl.
10 minutes later…
"Hi" I said shyly to the most prettiest girl in the ball room.
"Hey" she blushed a light pink.
"Um.. want to dance?" I asked, scared she might reject me.
She blushed again and whispered, "I can't dance."
"It's all in the leading," I smiled as a lead her to the middle of the room and she held on to my arm.
A slow song came on at that moment, I put her hands on my neck and I put my hands on her hip, we just swayed side to side along with the music. She looked up and smiled a timid smile then looked back down again. I kept my eyes on her the whole time. She avoided eye contact and only looked at me a few times, mostly she looked at her feet or at my chest. Everyone had moved aside and only a few couples were dancing.
I was sad when the song ended and an upbeat faster one come on. But I wasn't willing to let her go. When I moved my hands away from her hips she must have thought I was leaving and disconnected her arms from my neck, but I caught her hands and she looked up surprised, she smiled when she realized what I was doing. I took both her hands in mines and we shaked like a vibrating phone. I grinned like an idiot the whole time and she never stopped smiling, we both stared into each other's eyes, bright with amusement.
I could tell everyone was looking at us, girls jealous with envy of her and guys drooling over her. Unless of course you're my family and friends, mom looked delighted at my happiness and dad looked proud of me. Alice and Jasper were with us in the center of the ballroom also dancing and shaking, they looked like they were having fun. Rose and Emmett were also following the lead and having a crazy awesome time with all of us. We laughed the entire time and when that song was done I took the girl's hand and led her over to the courtyard.
We talked awhile, just random questions and answers. I finally asked her what her name was and where she was from. She said, "Princess Isabella of France, but call me Bella." I flashed her my famous crooked smile and she grinned back in return. I got up from the bench we were sitting on and bowed down at her, "Welcome to The England Royal Palace, Miss Bella. I'm Edward at your service." She giggled as I sat down again. "Well Edward, thank you. Now can you show me where the ballroom is?" I smiled and led her there. When we arrived my mom and Alice came rushing over.
"Edward!" they both said, "Are you going to introduce us?"
I chuckled, of course Alice would want to make a new friend (aka, life size, dress up Barbie doll) and my mother would love to meet any girl who interests me.
"This is Princess Isabella of France, but she rather be called Bella." I announced.
My mom hugged Bella, and Alice skipped forward to peck her on the cheek.
"I'm Alice! Prince Edward Cullen's best gal pal!" Alice said, seeming hyper but happy.
Bella's eye widen at Alice and turned towards me, "Your, The Prince!" she seemed taken by surprised. Just as I opened my mouth to speak, Alice started talking.
"You didn't know yet?" she turned to look at me then faced Bella, "Did he not introduce himself to you?" Bella shook her head.
"Yes I did!" I protested.
"No you just said 'Edward at your service'!" She argued back.
"Well now you know I'm Prince Edward, but don't call me Prince or Sir, just Edward is fine, and you met Alice who is indeed my best gal pal, and my mom Queen Esme." She smiled at them and said, "nice to meet you."
Alice grabbed Bella's hand and pulled her over to where everyone else was.
"Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie." she said pointing towards everyone as she said their names, "Jasper is my boyfriend and Rosalie and Emmett are also together. Rosalie is Edward's brother, but she is younger."
"You and Jasper!" I questioned, wondering when that happened.
"Yeah! About an hour ago before the dance."
"Oh." I smiled at Jasper. He grinned back.
I just hung out with the guys since Alice dragged Bella and Rose somewhere. _
Bella's POV
Alice had dragged me up the stairs towards some room with Rosalie. When Alice flicked the lights on I was momentary stunned, the room was amazing. Everything perfect and in place.
The walls were painted a soft purple color that somehow managed to look like a light pink. The edging and borders were a shinning gold color. There were shelves lining the center of wall to the right of me and it was filled with magazines and binders on one side of the shelves was a door and on the other side was a thin floor length mirror. Pushed to the opposite wall was a king sized bed with a canopy of soft whitish pink sheer fabric surrounding the hot pink covered bed and over it was a long window.
There was a double door with 2 gold handles next to the door we just came in from and the wall I was facing had another double door with 2 gold handles but they where white French doors and through the little glass squares I could put together a balcony, so those doors led outside.
Alice pushed me and Rosalie into the double doors and turned out the lights. When Alice came in she shut the doors and flipped a switch which turned on some bright lights. It was a closet! The biggest closet I have ever seen! It was the size of another bedroom and it was beautiful. I let my eyes wander all around, there were 5 little white circular tables all around the room with girly stuff scattered on each. The wall to the right was stocked with purses and shoes, the left, dresses and bottoms. There was a dresser on the right and left side of the door and in the center of the wall facing the door was a huge circular rotating clothes rack, half the circle was in the wall but it was full of every top imaginable, spaghetti straps, polo's, tanks, short sleeves, long sleeves, etc. On either side if it where mirrors. I stared until Rosie started talking.
"Do you like it Bella? My mom designed it, actually she designed this whole place."
"Your mom designs houses?" I asked.
"Yeah," she said smiling, "before my she became a queen or princess for that matter, she used to be a kindergarten teacher and she designs homes in her spear time. This place used to just be one of her old plans that she drew up, it was her dream house to live in a mansion with a loving husband and her kids. She finally got that dream when she married my dad."
The rest of the night went by fast as me, Rose, and Alice had some girly time. We painted our nails, talked about boys and our life, dressed up in Rose's clothes and Alice was fixing my makeup and hair.
Edward's POV
"Sooooo…" Emmett started.
"What?" I said oblivious.
"Who's the girl!" He asked
"Oh, she's Princess Isabella ." I informed them.
"Princess?" Jasper and Emmett said at the same time.
"Yeah, from France."
"Cool." they both said in sync again. We were quiet for a while.
"We should celebrate!" Emmett said enthusiastically.
"Why?" Jasper asked
"Because! Now we are celebrating the passing of our single life!"
Jasper rolled his eyes and I told him I was still single.
"No you're not, you have Bella."
"But it isn't official!"
"Still, I need a reason to have a party."
"Ugh, fine Emm." I gave up, besides maybe what he had in mind might be fun.
"What are we gonna do?" Jazz asked, cautious. I didn't blame him, Emm has a twisted mind.
"Watch horror movies non-stop in your home theater until we fall asleep having nightmares then in the middle of the night we can eat some of your fancy food and just talk. You now it's guy stuff, like a guy's version of a sleep-over. Only, it's at a castle."
"Emm."
"Huh?" he said lost in thought.
"We can do that anytime."
"Not really, unlike you and Rose we have college to addend to and so we don't have time."
"Emm, you, Jazz and Alice are staying over this whole weekend we could do it then."
"Okay!"
I laughed and my dad came by to tell me to thank everyone as they go home. I followed him to the front door, and said, "Thank you for your present today, I hope to see you soon sometime," to everyone that came. Let me tell you that is the part I hate the most about these royal balls, having to greet everyone and having to say bye to EVERYONE and a lot of people from around the world are invited.
I sighed when I finally finished. Dad had told me he was going to bed so I wished him a goodnight and looked for my buds. That was until I realized I forgot to say goodbye to one person.
