A/N: Oh it's been to long. Really it has. Sorry it took so long I have been so rushed of my feet that I think I'm just ganna crash and burn tomorrow…well today by the time this chapter is up. Who knew looking for a house and wedding plans would take up so much of your free time.

Any way as always don't own and never happened. If you could please reviews it would mean so much to me. I would really like to at least get ten by what…Wednesday? Thank you.

Oh a friend of mine read this the other day and commented on the 'sexual tension' between Claudia and Edward and just so you know it's there for a reason and that reason makes it's self known in the next chapter.

Last Chance For A First Dance

Her body radiated heat and I welcomed the electricity that seemed to pass between us as I spun her around the dance floor. Never in any of my dreams had I felt this…complete. I knew from the moment I first started dreaming about her that I loved her, even when she was just a figment of my imagination, but now I know I am in love with her. She is my one, my only and I really have no idea how I would survive without her now.

Her musical laughter reached my ears as I spun her stupidly fast around a corner and I couldn't help but smile down at her. The song was coming to an end and I knew that now was the time. We had been dancing now for at lest half an hour and she looked a little out of breath.

Her cheeks where flushed and I could see her chest rising and falling quickly and I couldn't help but wonder if that would be how she looked after sex. All hot and out of breath, her naked chest exposed to my hungry eyes. Her pert nipples hard and waiting for my lip to cover them again.

Get a grip Cullen! If she feels that thing before you explain anything she is ganna freak.

Taking a deep breath I tried to calm myself. Pulling back slightly I let my head fall so my lips where next to her ear. Without really thinking I took a deep breath, filling my senses with her enticing smell and my erect cock twitched in response.

God Cullen, what are you 13?

Yep, it sure felt like it. I haven't been this into a girl since, well never really. Not at high school, not even college. I had always been the one night stand kinder man who never ever really gave a shit about the consequences of my actions.

"Care to join me out side?"

I whispered in her ear, reviling at the fact that her body shivered as I spoke to her. Smiling I pulled back, letting go of her body. I smiled as seductively as I could before turning and heading toward the glass doors that lead outside.

The October air was cold on my exposed skin and instantly I missed the heat that seemed to radiate from Bella. She was everything I had ever wanted and more and as soon as she got that hot little ass of hers out here I was going to make sure she knew how I felt.

A loud moan interrupted my thoughts and I spun around, my head darting up to the only light that was on up stairs. Carlisle's office? That was odd, I'm sure Carlisle and Esme had just been dancing.

"Oh god Jake"

I froze. No way would Claudia have the guts to defile Carlisle's sanctuary. None of us had ever even gone in there unless we had been sent there by ether Esme or Carlisle him self. I new my eyes where wide and mouth hanging open in wonder. Without warning the light went out and for a second I thought they had finished and gone back down stairs that was till I saw Claudia come in contact with the window, her hands flat against the glace, legs spread, a look of pure ecstasy on her face.

The light from the moon illuminated the right side of her body, leaving the rest in shadows. Her hair was free of the red bows that had held it in place and her red cape gone to, exposing her pail white shoulders .She turned her head sharply to the left, it was only then that I saw Jacob's dark hand caressing her exposed neck, his long nails digging into the red scratches that where already there.

Her almost black eyes locked with mine and she smiled darkly at me as she took one of Jake's fingers between her lips, her tongue coming out to caress it. Blushing I turned away from the sight in front of me. I know that it shouldn't have turned me on but fuck! I was rock hard a this point and all I wanted was to turn back around and watch Jacob fuck her senseless against the glass, or grab Bella and take her up to my room and do exactly the same to her.

Stop that right now Cullen!

Yes had to stop. Had to block out all those NC-17 images that just screamed to be a reality. I had to let her know first. Had to tell Bella I loved her. Another loud moan filled the air and I physically cringed. I was sure she was doing this on purpose. I resisted the urge to turn and see what they were doing; trying to keep my mind on other things like old grannies naked and that time I had walked in on Jasper going at it with Alice.

That worked. I shivered in horror. Never ever again do I want to see Jasper's naked ass. I swear I am scared for life. He had looked back over his shoulder at me and told me to ether get out or close the door, the whole time pounding into Alice still. It was a few days latter that I found out that Alice wanted a three some with ether me or Rosalie as the third participant and that Jasper had a thing for being watched.

Shivering again, I jumped when I felt a hand lightly on my shoulder. Spinning around I came face to face with Bella. She looked even more stunning in the moon light. The diamond like stones in her dress shining brightly. Slowly I reached forward, my eyes never leaving hers as I took the side of her mask between my fingers and slid it over her head and let it fall to the floor, loving the feel of her silky hair slipping between my fingers. I could run my fingers through her hair all day.

Her head tilted back slight so she could look me directly in the eyes, there chocolate brown twinkling in the moon light. My eyes drifted down to her lips, the bottom one was slightly fuller than the top and I unthinkingly liked my lips in anticipation.

Oh how much I wanted to kiss those lips, sucking the bottom one in between mine, only to nibble on the sweet flesh.

"Edward"

My eyes shot open. I hadn't even realized I had closed them. I was now only inches away from her, my hand resting on her cheek, my thumb caressing the corners of her lips. Quickly I bolted up, pulling my hand away from her face quickly.

"Bella I'm sorry. I shouldn't have…"

She cut my apology by placing a figure over my lips, silencing me. What happened next surprised me beyond anything. Slowly she let her figure slip from my lips as she leaned forward. My eyes where wide as her soft lips pressed against mine.

Electric shot through from where we were connected. She kissed me sweetly, her soft lips moving gently against mine. It took me longer then it should to respond but after a few seconds my eyes flickered closed as I kissed her back just as sweetly. My right hand coming up to caress her cheek once again.

I couldn't help but moan as her hands came up to weave into my hair, tugging it gently. I felt her smile against my lips before she pushed her tongue into my mouth. The hand that had been on her cheek now tangled in her hair, pulling her head back slightly, the other one grasping her hip.

A loud bang startled me and instinctively I pulled back. My hand that had been in her hair fell free to rub her upper arm. It had felt so right. My dreams hadn't done her any justice. All those months he had been imagining her lips on his and in real life they where so much softer and gentile.

"Bella I have something for you"

My words came out in a rush as I pulled the long leather box, thrusting it at her. She looked startled at first before she smiled sweetly at me, her cheeks slightly red, from the cold or embarrassment I do not know, but what I do know is that she looked gorges.

Slowly her pail fingers caressed the smooth leather. She was staring at it as if it was made of gold or platinum or something of the sort. My heart was thumping in my chest hoping against hope that she would like it. No love it.

The moon light caught her sliver Cinderella charm and I couldn't help but want her to love it more than she did Jasper's gift. Even though he had given it as though a brother giving his sister a gift it had made me jealous none the less.

The way she had smiled and flung her self at him had almost been enough for me to scream at him to leave. I wanted her to do that when she opened my gift. I just wanted her to smile at me like I was the world.

"Edward I can…"

I cut her of with the most charming smile I could and leaned forward till my lips where next to her ear. As seductively as I could I told her what to do.

"Open it"

Her fingers trembling, Bella slowly lifted the lid. I couldn't stoop the wide smile that spread across my face as she gasped at the item inside.

"Edward it's…beautiful"

Her voice was but a whisper as her fingers caressed the piece of jewelry inside. I couldn't stop my self as I moved to stand behind her, almost pressing my chest against her back.

"No your beautiful"

I whispered gently in her ear as I reached around, taking the white gold chain from the box. Slowly I pulled the chain around her neck, doing up the clasp behind her neck. My fingers lingered on the back of her neck, longer then necessaries but I couldn't resist the opportunity at hand.

To really feel her skin beneath my fingers. A sigh escaped between my lips and I felt her body lean back into mine as her right hand came up to caress the pendant. There was one small difference between the necklace Carlisle gave Esme and the one I was giving Bella.

Attached to the white gold chain was a small diamond heart. It was given to my by my grandmother Elizabeth just before she died. She had always been fond of me and I of her but still when she gave me the small diamond heart that my grandfather had given her when they first met almost ninety years ago now, I was over the moon.

She had told me that I had to keep hold of it and when the right girl came along, the one I truly loved I should give it to her as sign of my love for her. Me being the naive thirteen year old I was at the time had simply asked, how would I know when I found the right girl? And all I got was a simple answer, some how I would just know.

The small diamond shimmered in the light from the full moon and it just added to her beauty. Smiling, she slowly turned to look up at me, her brown eyes sparkling even more so then the diamond. Much like I had moments before she slipped my black mask over my head letting it fall to the floor next to us. Slowly we leaned in, our lips finally touching once again.

I think I must have died and gone to heaven.

Just as slowly she pulled back, her eyes still closed, as her tongue darted out to run over her bottom lip. Such a simple thing yet it sent shivers down my spine. Blood rushed south as I thought of all the things that wonderful mouth could do.

"You know from the moment I saw you that day at the apartment I knew there was something about you"

Her voice was soft and gentile yet it ripped me quite violently out of my loud thoughts. I hadn't realized that my eyes had closed and when I opened them I was meet with deep brawn ones. They where so intense that I couldn't look away. Like deep pools that drew you in and held you captive. Instantly I felt the need to tell her everything.

"From the moment I saw you that night at The Black Hole. It was only for a few seconds but you held me captive. I dreamt of you every night after that and when I started to get to know you through the notes I fell in love instantly"

My eyes franticly searched hers fir some for of emotion, but all I saw was happiness and what I think is love. My confidence fully charged I continued with declaration of love, my hands grasping her delicate ones in mine.

"From the moment I found out it was you, I knew I had to have you. Your mind and beauty so overwhelming and…god words fail to describe what I felt"

Sighing I dropped one of her hands, bring my now free one up to rub at the back of neck nervously. Was I really about to do this? I mean I know what I feel for her but surly this would be too soon for her and she would run away from me into the arms of some other man.

Oh well only one way to fined out.

Slowly I lifted my head till my eyes where locked with hers. I made sure that my face was serious yet still full of the emotion I wanted to convey. Taking a deep I let the words fall from my lips.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is that…I love you"

I stood there just staring at her for what felt like hours, my heart racing at the fact that she hadn't replied. Oh god she's ganna run away screaming to Jasper about his psycho brother. I shouldn't have said anything. It was too soon. I mean hell we had only known each other for about three months. What kinder person goes around declaring there love after three months?

My panic must have shown on my face as the next thing I knew she had placed a hand on my cheek once again, her eyes sparkling, a wide smile on her perfectly, pink, kissable lips.

"I know exactly what you mean"

My heart skipped a beat at hear words and before I could stop my self I had wrapped my arms around her waist, picking her up off the floor, crashing my lips to hers as I spun her around. I was so happy, even though she hadn't said she loved me she implied that she did. I didn't care that she hadn't said it as long as she felt it.

Her musical laughter reached my ears and I could stop my self from joining in as I placed her back down the patio. Her beauty really did take my breath away. If any one was to ask me what I thought an angel looked like I would describe Bella to them. She was perfect n every possible way. And she was mine.

Reluctantly I pulled back slightly and shot a quick glance up to Carlisle's office to see the room empty. I couldn't help but wonder if Claudia had witnessed my display of affection for her friend and if she approved of the outcome.

"I guess we should be getting back"

My eyes shot back to her just in time to see her hold out her hand to me. I felt a smile tug at the corners of my lips as I realized what it would mean if we walked through the doors hand in hand.

"Shall we?"

Smiling I laced my fingers with hers. I couldn't suppress the sigh that escaped between my lips. Our fingers fitted together perfectly, just like our lips had, it was almost like we where made for each other. A perfect fit.

As soon as I pulled open the patio doors, that velvet English voice reached our ears.

"Bella!"

I turned my head to see a very happy and bouncy Claudia standing on the bottom step, Jake on the one behind her, arms wrapped around her waist, the same look of happiness on his face. Franticly Claudia waved us over. I felt Bella tug on my hand and followed her toward her over excited friend.

It was only when we where closer that I noticed that the rest of my family along with Emmet and Alice where crowded around the young couple, Alice, Rosalie and Esme at the front all with the same looks of excitement on there faces.

My confusion was quickly banished as Claudia thrust her left hand out toward Bella.

"Jacob proposed"

She practically squalled at her friend jumping up and down with the most stupidest grin on her face. I felt my self being tugged forward slight as Bella ran to her friend before letting go of my hand. They jumped up and down slightly before pulling away and I took the chance to slip into the group.

"Congratulations luv"

I whispered as I hugged her, not missing the death glare Jacob shot me as I kissed his now fiancé's cheek. No doubt he was still annoyed with the kiss we had shared earlier. I wonder if he thought she tasted like tropical frit as well.

I pulled back quickly smiling the whole time, banishing the thoughts of Claudia's lips, before wrapping an arm around Bella's waist. I felt Bella lean against me and I knew that this was how life was meant to be. Every one was happy, healthy and in love. Life was how it should be. Perfect.

I didn't know how wrong I was.
