MIKE'S POV
Why did this always have to happen to me? Where was the justice in this world? There is no justice! What I wouldn't give to have a normal family and live in a normal world. But that would mean that Bella wouldn't be there because Bella is extraordinary. I wish that my mom wouldn't have taken up this new dance class. Not only did she sign up for it, but it turns out that she needed a partner; and guess who she chose. She couldn't choose my dad; no way! She had to say that she needed some "quality time with her son". Yeah right. So on every Tuesday, as we were gliding along the dance floor, I pictured Bella instead of my mother. I pictured myself waltzing with Bella to romantic music with her staring lovingly into my eyes. We would gaze into each other's eyes and know that we were meant to be with each other. I often pictured this scene more then once a day. I couldn't help it! Seeing Bella in a beautiful dress, loving me with her eyes, holding me close; it just excited me!
I awoke with a start.
"Mr. Newton, could you please try to pay attention?"
"Sorry Mr. Bulhman. I'm just thinking, here."
I secretly smiled. I mean, I hated how my teacher interrupted my day dream but this day dream that I had was the best yet. We had finished dancing and I took Bella in my arms and we shared true love's kiss. Her warm, sweet, lips upon mine and her hand rising up into my hair were all very new and pleasing to me.
I glanced around the room quickly, trying to find Bella's eyes. I wanted my day dream to be a reality. I wanted to look up and see Bella stand up and push the desks away. I wanted her then to walk over to me, grab my arms and start the tango with me. We would tango all day long and finally, after a long day's work at dancing, we would retreat to my room, where…
THUNK
What the heck? Why am I always hit in the head? My eyes found Cullen's. He was smirking but also looked a little annoyed. Bella was looking at him questioningly and he looked back at her. After a few seconds, she looked back up at me with a strange expression on her face. I quickly glanced down and concentrated on my books. There was only one explanation for that look in her eyes:
She loved me!
I was sure of it now more then ever. Isabella Marie Swan loved me. I day dreamed for the rest of class, thinking of Bella and dancing.
BELLA POV:
I was getting very sick
of Mike. Today, during class, he had this weird expression on his
face the entire class. Suddenly, Edward disappeared and reappeared
for a fraction of a second. Only I noticed because I was watching
him the whole time. The rest of the class only heard the THUNK made
by Edward's hand hitting Mike Newton's head. Edward quick
glanced at me after he got back to his seat and his eyes were
laughing. I frowned a little but I couldn't help laughing a tiny
bit. I asked him with my eyes why he did that. He leaned in closer
to me (he smelled really good, too!) and quickly whispered in my ear,
"He was thinking some dirty thoughts about you. I thought that
I should force them out of his head". I whipped my head up and
made eye contact with Mike. He didn't even look guilty! He was
just smiling at me and then looked down at his books. I turned back
to Edward and gazed into his eyes. They were gold today, though they
probably would be turning dark soon. He needed to hunt. I took out
a piece of paper and started writing him a note.
So what exactly was mike thinking?
Do you really want to know?
I guess not. Was it really that bad?
You have no idea. I should be the only one to think those things.
You seriously think like that? You're such a teenage boy!
Well, you are awakening the human in me.
That's true. So are you coming over tonight? Or are you going hunting?
I'll go hunting first and then I'll come over when Charlie is asleep.
The paper disappeared and I realized that Edward put it inside of his backpack because the teacher was coming to check out our table.
"Mr. Cullen, are you
paying attention?"
"Yes, Sir I am."
"Can I see your
notes, then?"
"Of course, here" Our teacher looked down at
Edward's notebook and snarled a little. Edward almost started
laughing; I bet if he hadn't had over 100 years of keeping his
emotions in check, he would have burst out laughing at the sound of
our teacher's snarl. Edward and I shared a smile and held hands
for the rest of class.
After class was over, Edward and I made our way to the lunch room. As we were sitting at our table, Edward got a pained but almost humorous look on his face.
"What is it? What's wrong?" I asked him.
"Apparently, Mike just thought of a new plan that he's sure is going to work. It's not and I should know," said Alice.
"Well could you tell me what it is? I mean, you can read his mind and you can see what he's going to do," I told them both.
They both silently
laughed and shook their heads.
"It's not too bad. It's
definitely better then last time." We both cringed at the thought
of the scavenger hunt a couple weeks earlier. Mike had decided to
send me on a scavenger hunt throughout Forks High School looking for
the "treasure" of Forks. At the end, it turned out that Mike was
the "treasure". It really wasn't much of a present or a
treasure. It was more of a humiliating experience that I never ever
wanted to relive ever again.
"You will tell me what he's thinking, right now," I said to Edward and Alice, trying to make my voice sound very stern.
"No can do. He's stopped thinking about it. He's now day dreaming again about you and dancing. What is his obsession with dancing now?" Edward said, sounding confused at the last part of Mike's thoughts.
"He's taking a dance class with his mom. Apparently, she thought they needed some mother-son bonding time," Alice replied back to Edward. I glared at them and proceeded to eat my jell-o.
"You two are impossible. Are you really going to let Mike humiliate me again?"
"We'll stop it if it gets too far. Just let him have his fun," said Edward.
I glared at him again but this time he ignored me and just wrapped his arm around me, drawing me closer to him. He kissed me neck and I felt my heart beat get faster and faster. He chuckled and kissed my lips quickly. My heart felt like it exploded. A blush came onto my cheeks and I stared into his eyes; his rich, golden, beautiful eyes. He whispered into my ear, "Are you finished eating or do you mind if we do something else?"
"I'm up for alternatives"
"Come with me," my angel said.
"I'm right behind you."
Edward led me outside to his Volvo. I climbed in the back seat and he entered through the other side. I leaned up against and closed me eyes. My body seemed to fit perfectly into his, his chin rested just on the top of my head. Every once in awhile I could feel his lips kiss my hair, the back of my ear, and a couple times, the back of my neck. I could feel my heart beat get faster and faster each time he kissed me. I turned back and kissed him full on the lips. He pulled me closer and I wanted the kiss to get deeper. I knew I had about five seconds before he pulled away and I made the most of those five seconds. I deepened the kiss. He kissed back, just as eagerly and then pushed me gently away.
"You test my self control too much," he said, a smile on his face.
"Then maybe you should just give in," I answered back.
"Not a chance." He rearranged me so I was facing away from him, my back leaning against his chest. I sighed deeply, enjoying the moment for the rest of the lunch time.
MIKE POV:
This was the last straw. I couldn't stand it anymore! Normally, I could tolerate Bella and Cullen together but now kissing in the lunch room; I had to do something. She was only with him because he's rich, I bet. Maybe, if I pretend to be rich, she'd come to me! I had a new plan. This one would work for sure! It was guaranteed to be a success! Cullen's looking at me weird again. It's impossible for him to know what I'm thinking, but just in case, I started thinking about Bella. Bella in a beautiful, red, feathery dress that reached to her knees and then spread out; Bella looking at me with loving eyes and then racing into my arms where we share a kiss and then a dance. I was so into my day dream that I didn't even notice the bell. I hurriedly picked up my tray and glanced at Bella. She wasn't in the lunch room anymore. I dumped my garbage into the trashcan and looked outside the doors that were right outside the cafeteria. I saw Bella and Cullen climbing out of the back of the Volvo; that stupid, shiny Volvo. I could see her laugh and I saw him reach down and kiss her. He pulled her towards him and, and, I couldn't take it anymore! I had to look away! I was already putting myself in Cullen's shoes. What if I was the one that Bella was hanging out with in the back of a car? I angrily stormed away and made my way to my next class.
That night I again made my way up to Port Angles to buy the materials that I would need. I had to guess a few things but I think I was close in my guesses. It seemed that all I did was buy stuff for Bella. I didn't mind, though. She was worth it. All this money was going towards a great cause: making Bella mine. I knew that, after this new plan, I wouldn't have to spend money anymore because Bella will be mine. I smiled at that thought. I picked up my bags and started heading home. I got everything ready for the next day.
BELLA POV:
I sighed deeply. I was already in my room although Edward wasn't supposed to come for another half hour. Charlie wasn't asleep yet so it would be dangerous for Edward to be here now. I changed into my pajamas so I could spend the time that I usually spent getting changed, hanging out with Edward. When I was done with all of my "human minutes" I took out my battered copy of Wuthering Heights. I started reading it all over again and was getting pretty far when I heard the voice of an angel, standing over me.
"Why do you insist on reading that book over and over again?" I looked up and couldn't help but smile.
"Edward! You're here!" I said that as loud as I could without waking Charlie up and then flew into Edward's arms. He hugged me back as I burrowed my face into his chest. He rested his chin on my head and kissed me gently in my hair. He pulled away and we gazed into each other's eyes for a few seconds. Suddenly, he got a curious look on his face. I looked at him questioningly. After a couple seconds, a smile played on his lips and he laughed.
"What? What is it?" I asked him, anxiously.
"Apparently, Alice has been seeing some things pertaining to you and Mike."
"You mean his new plan?" I sighed. That boy just didn't get it!
"Yes, of course his new plan. Apparently, all Alice could get out of the vision was that it has something to do with dancing. Maybe that's why he's been so obsessed with it lately," Edward said, thinking off into space.
"You have got to be kidding me. Dancing? What is that boy thinking? Ugh. Can't you use your super vampire powers to stop him?" I asked, exasperated.
"No, love. I can only read minds. I can't change what people are thinking," said my angel, still gazing into my eyes.
"Any warnings that you can give me?"
"Not that I know of at this moment. All I know is that it's supposed to happen tomorrow."
I sighed again and leaned into Edward. I burrowed my head into his chest and stayed there for a minute or two.
I opened my eyes the next morning to find that it wasn't raining out, for once. Edward was sitting in my rocking chair looking at me. We both smiled as we met each other's eyes. With a quick kiss, he left to get his car and get changed and to give me time to get changed and eat breakfast. I raced through my breakfast knowing that the faster I finished eating the sooner I would see Edward again. Suddenly, I felt a cool breath on my neck and my heart started racing. I glanced up to see my angel standing behind me.
"Hey you. What, what's wrong? What's so funny?" I asked him, looking confused.
"Mike is irritating me. He has left something for you outside of your front door."
"What is it?"
"How would I know? He's too far away, I can't read his mind, and I can't see through the box," Edward said looking a little annoyed.
I jumped out of my chair and rinsed out my bowl and spoon. I grabbed my bag and Edward's hand and led him to the front door. There, just like he said, was a big red box sitting right in front of my front door. There was a big bow in the middle of the box. I picked it up and dragged Edward to his car so I could open the present where nobody would see me.
"Why does he insist on getting me presents? He knows that I'll never like him! Ugh, what could he have possibly given me this time? I hope it's not a stuffed bear that sings Barney like last time." Edward and I both cringed at my last comment. He looked at me and said, "There's no way to know what he got you unless you open the present. I promise I won't be mad."
I gave him a look and then proceeded to open the present. Inside the wrapping paper was a box that had fancy script written on the box. I couldn't quite read what it said. Edward looked a little nervous as I lifted the box open and moved the tissue apart.
There, sitting folded in the box, was a black dress. This wasn't just any black dress; this was a dance dress. A tango dress to be more specific. It had a ruffled neck that plunged deep in my stomach. The bottom in the front of the dress came up pretty high and then ruffled out on the sides. The back was pretty high up too and was like the front in the ruffles. My entire back was bare. I gasped.
"He didn't," I said.
"He did. And I could very well just kill him for this," said Edward, in a very calm voice.
"Why did he give me a dress?"
"Maybe there's more in the box to explain it. Look, there's an envelope"
I grabbed the envelope while shoving the dress and the box in the backseat of the Volvo. I ripped it open and gasped.
"He bought me dance lessons"
"He WHAT?" Edward surprised me by erupting in this very unedward like scream.
"What? What's the matter?" Edward sat next to me pinching the bridge of his nose. His eyes were closed and he looked like he was trying to regain control.
"Why did you just freak out? Are you okay?" I asked him.
"I'm fine. This is
getting out of hand. This dress and dance lessons are expensive. He
really thinks he could just take you away. We have to do
something."
"FINALLY! You're catching on!" I almost
screamed that as I flew into his arms although he was in the driver's
seat and I was in the passenger's seat. He laughed a little and
then pulled away.
"When were those
dance lessons for anyway?"
"Um," I said, reading the paper.
"It says to go to the dance place, wearing the dress, on Tuesday at
eight o'clock"
"Hmm, that's interesting," Edward said.
"Why?"
"That's the day that he has lessons with his mom. Maybe he's making her not go so you can be his partner."
"Ugh. This is
getting out of hand; let's just go to school already."
We got
to school and just managed to make it out of alive. Mike was making
all these goo-goo faces at me and trying to talk to me. He was being
very annoying, more annoying then usual. As soon as school was over,
I raced out into the parking lot, with Edward of course, and we took
of in the Volvo as fast as we could.
"Edward," I asked him.
"What, love?"
"What day is it today?"
He looked at me with pity in his eyes.
"It's Tuesday today, love," he answered.
"Ugh, I think we need to make a plan of our own to silence Mike forever," I told him, sounding very confident in myself.
We met eyes and smiled. All we needed now was a plan.
MIKE POV:
Today is the day! I dropped Bella's beautiful present off at her house late the night before. I knew that she would love it because the dress was so...her! It fit her personality perfect and now my daydream was going to become a reality! I would see Bella, probably shy at first, standing in the middle of the dance room in her beautiful dress. She would blush and then we'd meet eyes and we'd run towards each other and embrace in a tango that even professional dancers would be jealous of. I smiled and closed my eyes, allowing myself to be swept away in my day dream. All during school I was trying to catch Bella's eye to see for myself what she thought of the dress. Surely that's all she'd be thinking about! I didn't get a chance to actually talk to her today. She left really fast after school. I bet she couldn't wait to get home to put on the dress and get down to the dance studio for our lesson. I smiled. This was going too perfect! Bella will be mine!
BELLA POV:
"Alice! I need help!"
I blinked and there stood Alice right in front of me.
"What do you need
help with?"
"Getting this dress on," I grumbled. I couldn't
figure out the neckline and the strap so I was getting pretty tangled
in the dress. Alice fixed it in about two seconds flat which made me
feel like an idiot.
"You ready?"
"Of course! I couldn't be more ready," I told her. I grinned and we heard a knock on the door. Alice squealed and yelled, "Edward! You have to see her! She looks gorgeous!"
The door opened and there stood my angel. His eyes looked like he was in shock and he took on a very still pose. He slowly walked towards me as I spun around in my dress.
"Well? What do you think?"
"Bella…you look…wow!" He was at a loss for words!
I ran into him and threw my arms around his neck. I buried my head into his chest and he pulled me closer.
"You look beautiful, Bella," he whispered to me. We pulled apart, took hands, and made our way downstairs.
"Ready?"
He smiled. "Of course!"
We made our way out to his Volvo and then onto the dance studio.
MIKE POV:
It was almost time for our lesson and she still wasn't here. I wasn't nervous-yet. I was too excited to be nervous. Everything was set up. I had the lights dimmed into the center where I would be and on the door where Bella would enter. When she walked in, her eyes would be drawn to just me. I had the music ready and I had a remote that so I could press the button to start the music and then just throw the remote on the ground as soon as Bella started racing towards me. This was going to be great!
BELLA POV:
We pulled into the dance studio and Edward squeezed my hand. I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. I was ready. I entered through the door on the side and came into a hallway. I proceeded down the hall and came to a set of double doors. I threw them open and was blinded by this light that was aimed right at the door. There, standing in the middle of the room, was Mike. He was in a white shirt that looked like it could be silk. He had black pants on and a hat. He also had a rose between his teeth with his hat tilted to one side. I suspected he did this to seem sensual. He lifted his head up as he saw me in the doorway. He swept the rose out of his mouth and twirled it around a little bit in a circular motion. I knew the plan. I had to follow the plan. Mike did a little two step jig in his spot light and beckoned me with his hand. He reached his arm out to the side and music started playing. I ran as fast as I could towards him. I had to reach him! As soon as I was almost to him, I veered to his right and proceeded to run right behind him. I gained speed as I was lifted up in my angel's arms. Edward put me down and we proceeded to dance. The tango. We moved as one. We moved off of each other's moves. We slinked around Mike as we tangoed around the spot light. The light caught Edward's face every so often and made him seem dark and mysterious. I clung to him as the dance increased in tempo, in rhythm, in passion. We felt like we were the only two people in the entire world. Nothing or nobody existed except for us. You couldn't even say that we were two people; we moved as one body, we were one body. I was Edward and he was me. We hadn't even realized that the music had stopped playing. We still did the tango to the rhythm of my heart beat, with Edward leading. Finally, we ended in the middle of the dance floor, Edward holding my back as I dipped into his side.
"NO! This wasn't supposed to happen like this!"
We awoke from our spell and turned towards Mike.
"Thanks for the lesson, Mike. I thoroughly enjoyed it," with that said, I threw my arms around Edward's neck and kissed him. He pulled me closer and one of his hands found my hair, the other was on my lower back. I wrapped my hands into his hair and deepened the kiss. We broke apart and Edward whispered so that only I would hear,
"Mike is jealous of me now. He can't believe that this plan didn't work."
I smiled at him.
"Come on, let's get out of here," I told him as I grabbed his hand.
"Wait, Bella!" I turned around once more to find Mike running after me. He grabbed my other hand, the one not attached to Edward, and proceeded to pull me away. I ripped my hand out of his.
"Please, Bella. You and I are meant to be. I love you. Please, stay with me!"
"I'm sorry, Mike. I love Edward. Sorry. Come on, Edward. Let's get out of here"
We kissed once more as we made our way out to the Volvo.
"Oh, and Mike."
"Yeah?" He asked me.
"There's someone waiting for you in the middle of the room."
As Mike turned around to see who was there, Edward and I ran out of there.
3RD PERSON
POV:
Mike slowly turned around to face the middle of the room. Standing just outside the spot light in the middle of the room was a
huge figure. He had his hat bent down over his eyes. He lifted his
hat and stepped into the light. There, was Emmett.
"I'm here to make sure that you don't try to break up my brother and Bella ever again. Should we do this the hard way or the easy way?" Emmett said, in a very menacing voice that sounded like a vampire. Mike stared at Emmett for about two seconds before racing out of the gym, screaming bloody murder and for his mom.
"I guess we won't have to worry about him anymore," Emmett said happily to the figure to his right.
"I didn't really care anyways. It's just Bella," said Rosalie. She was dressed in a stunning red tango dress that had a slight floral pattern to it. It was fringed at the bottom and had major cuts up the legs. She and Emmett smiled at each other as the music started playing.
"I just don't like how I didn't even get to human punch him," said Emmett as his self-control was going down.
"Hm, maybe I can make it better," murmured Rosalie as she stepped towards Emmett. They came together as one and tangoed the entire night through.
MIKE POV:
Everything had been going perfect. I saw Bella come in and she looked stunning. She looked as beautiful as, well, I did. I saw her run towards me and I knew that my day dream was coming true! Then, suddenly, she veered and ran behind me. I glanced around and saw her race towards him. They embraced and did the tango that Bella and I were supposed to do! They moved as Bella and I should have moved. I finally couldn't take it anymore. I had to do something!
"NO! This wasn't supposed to happen like this!" I shouted to them. They turned towards me and Bella said,
"Thanks for the lesson, Mike. I thoroughly enjoyed it," with that said, she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. I couldn't believe this. I must be seeing things! This wasn't supposed to happen like this! I wanted to be Cullen right then, as I saw them kissing. I wanted to be the one that was kissing Bella!
She took his hand and started leaving. I had to do something! I shouted at her,
"Wait, Bella!" she turned around once more to find me running after me. I grabbed her other hand, the one not attached to Edward, and proceeded to pull her away. She was going the wrong way, which was the way with Edward! She ripped her hand out of mine.
"Please, Bella. You and I are meant to be. I love you. Please, stay with me!" I pleaded with her.
"I'm sorry, Mike. I love Edward. Sorry. Come on, Edward. Let's get out of here"
They kissed once more as they made our way.
"Oh, and Mike."
"Yeah?" I asked her, hopeful. Maybe she had changed her mind!
"There's someone waiting for you in the middle of the room."
I turned around to see who was there and as I did, my Bella left me.
I slowly turned around to the middle of the room. I was sort of scared to look but I had to. There was a huge figure standing just outside the light and he looked scary. He stepped into the spotlight and I recognized him as Emmett, Edward's older brother.
He looked at me and said,
"I'm here to make sure that you don't try to break up my brother and Bella ever again. Should we do this the hard way or the easy way?"
I stared at him until I was so scared I thought that I was going to pee in my pants. I found my legs and started running towards the door that Bella just exited out of, screaming the whole way.
I guess Bella will never be mine. Unless… I can think of a new plan; a better plan to make her realize that Edward isn't the man of her dreams. I've tried playing Mr. Romantic but maybe that's not what she wants. Hm, what else is there? I've got it! I'll be an athlete! This new plan was sure to work!
A/N I hope you realize that Bella and Edward's plan was to make Mike's day dream a reality except for it being between Bella and Edward not Bella and Mike. I know, not the greatest but that's all I could think of.
You know the drill, read and review!!
I probably will have another chapter but it takes me pretty long to write these. This chapter is about 8 ½ pages single spaced in word so it takes awhile for me to get everything down!
To see pictures of Bella and Rosalie's dresses just look on my profile!
Thanks so much!
