Chapter 9: Dressing with….
(A/N: Here's chapter 9. Alice is such a conniving little pixie slash beast but everything she does happens for a reason as we all know.)
I don't own Twilight. Stephanie Meyer does. I just use her characters to create Royal Love.
Also Inuyasha fans check out my story 'Old Friends'.
P.S: Thank you Lady Luna Twilight J.
"Maybe I could answer your question?" A voice answered from behind her.
"Edward!" Bella shrieked jumping back from the confused prince.
Bella had been standing with her back to him before he had spoken spooking her. She had almost removed the top of her dress, exposing herself to him.
"What's wrong Bella?" Edward asked confused.
Bella look at him, her face blood red with embarrassment and shock, "Why on earth are you in my changing room?"
"I came to talk to you? Is there something wrong with that?" he answered with a hint of irritation.
Bella looked at him with surprise fixing her dress refitting it to her body making sure that it would not fall off of her while she spoke to him.
"Yes there is most certainly a problem Edward! You're in a lady's changing room that in a way that is immoral. How do I know that you have been here watching me dress and undress like some heathen?" Bella explained raising her voice at him.
Again Edward experienced the same irritation as she talked back to him, her independency was something that he still had to get used to.
"A heathen? Seriously Bella this was the only way that I could get you alone, if you haven't noticed we haven't spoken in weeks. Alice came up with this plan for me to talk to you." Edward confessed.
Bella was speechless. Edward and Alice had come up with a plan for her and Edward to be alone after weeks of silence. She knew that she would have spoken to him sooner or later. He was her fiancé after all. Bella realized that she had not taken the time to get to know him, attraction had not been enough for her. The silence had agonized her, she had wanted to speak to him, but his attitude towards her angered her. Edward on the other hand wished that Bella would finally speak to him and give him a chance. His siblings had encouraged him to talk to her even Rosalie and she did not prove to be in Bella's favor.
The weeks had been long and tactful avoiding each other like the plague when in reality they wanted to communicate and act civilized. Both of them had been too stubborn to actually speak to each other, their pride being too inflated. Bella knew that she had to speak to him some time or another, but she had waited for the prince to make the first move. Edward's stubbornness, on the other hand, did not allow him to speak to her, unless she made the first move. It was a never ending battle of pride, the two possibly waiting for the other to speak which proved to take longer then the Cullens had expected.
"Alice!" she shrieked not knowing that a few yards away Alice was hiding behind dresses acting as small as possible.
"Yes Alice, I asked her for help, she was the only one that could get me alone with you."
"If you would've just asked me then possibly we could have avoided this rather embarrassing situation. I mean, Edward, that this situation is rather unnecessary. And also how did you even get in this dressing room without anyone noticing?" Bella asked.
"Alice snuck me in when no one was looking making sure that you didn't see me"
Bella glared at Edward silently cursing Alice in her head as she tried to figure out how to get out of the situation. Her thoughts raced through her head until she finally came to a conclusion.
She let out a slow breath, "Okay, Edward if you would please get out of my dressing room, I promise that I will talk to you once I get out. Is that okay?"
"Yes that would be good. I'm sorry for intruding on you while you were… um… dressing"
"That's okay Edward, oh and you leave this room tell Alice that she is in trouble will you" Bella said with a small sinister smile.
Edward silently gulped as he wondered what hid behind that smile. "I will, so I guess I should leave now"
Edward made his way towards the door brushing against Bella's bare skin as he did causing her to silently gasp as he passed by. A quiet jolt of electricity passed through them making Bella stare at the prince as he exited. Edward walking out with a puzzled face, wondering why there was still that same reaction after so many weeks. Bella slunk back away from the entrance leaning against the post in the dressing room.
Bella looked back on the weeks prior to their meeting in the dressing room in which they hadn't spoken to each other. She had done everything in her power to escape the bronze haired prince. The Cullen siblings had tried their best to get them together even Rosalie. Bella smiled when she remembered Rosalie telling that she needed her help moving something in her room. She happily obliged when she had though that she would be helping out Rosalie and only her. She hadn't expected Edward to be in his sister's room when she got there. Realizing that it was a "trap" she turned away from the room and started to somewhat run away.
"Where are you going Bella?" Rosalie's eyes widened when she saw Bella's escape
"Oh I just remembered that I had promised Alice that I would spend time with her in the green house today, sorry"
Rosalie watched Bella quickly run around the corner of the hall before frowning slightly irritated with the girl's sudden disappearance. She looked through her open door to see Edward with a disappointed look on his face after hearing Bella's excuse.
Bella stood looking at the door once more where Edward had exited wondering if she truly should go out there and face Edward and Alice. They both would watch her with their golden eyes in which she probably would not be able to make eye contact with them. A blush of embarrassment spread across Bella's cheeks and nose as she started to get dressed in the dress she was originally wearing. Her blush began to get bigger when she realized that she had been half naked with Edward right in front of her. Pushing that thought aside she focused on dressing to be presentable for the prince.
'It seems that I have to face my destiny and the world seems to be waiting' a small smile crept onto her face.
The smile widening, after getting fully dressed she looking once more at the cloth door before walking through it.
'Here I come Edward'
A/N: Ohh she used his name again. Hahahaha. This chapter might not be what ya'll have expected but I haven't looked at this story in a while now. I have been very busy. I'm sorry. I'll try to be better about it in the future, but you might have to talk to me so that I stay on track. Lady Luna Twilight apparently since she messages me to continue and she is quite assertive. Again I thank her for her shove that she gave me to give ya'll another chapter.
I also have a writing partner Sivalence, so welcome him to the family.
And one more thing I'm also using my writing talents for a big project so give me support if you like.
