The Dance and The Garden

I gasped and turned around to be met with bronze hair and the most gorgeous green eyes that I have ever gazed into.

I suddenly felt self-conscious, and looked down blushing, putting the cup back onto the table as he stared at me.

I heard a soft chuckle come into the air, making my blush deepen. Did I really look that ugly? Tears began to fill my eyes, he must of noticed because he placed a finger underneath my chin, and forced me to look at him.

What I saw made me gasp. His eyes were filled with admiration…towards me. He smiled apologetically at me.

"I'm sorry…I didn't mean to embarrass you." he said, his smile took my breathe away. I was hypnotized by his beauty. "Would you care to dance with me?" His eyes lit up with hope as my face drained of color as soon as he said that, my eyes widened a little in shock. Why would someone like him want to dance with me?

"What is it?…It's alright if you don't want to-" he started to say hastily, his expression broke my heart. His eyes were filled with hurt as his face fell in disappointment.

"No! I do! I just…" I stopped, my face turned back to the shade of pink that seemed to always sneak it's way up to my cheeks. I looked down at my feet.

"I can't dance." I mumbled, noticing that his finger was still underneath my chin. He laughed, as he grabbed my hand and pulled me forward.

"Well lucky for you I can." he chuckled, pulling me towards the center of the room, I heard a gasp from someone behind me, and faintly recognized it to be Lauren's.

He pulled me towards him, as soon as the music started to play a soft melody. He smiled at me when I looked up at him, he had me mesmerized, as he controlled his and my every step.

Half way through the song he began to talk. "So, what's your name?" he said, his voice was like music, as he spun me around, my dress twirled with my movements, as he brought me back to his chest, and took another step forward, making me step back, staying in the melody of the music.

"Isebella Swan...But you can call me Bella." I breathed. "Bella-" he nodded in approval. "…It suits you." He said, making me blush again. I don't think I've ever blushed this much in my entire life!

"W-What's your name?" I asked nervously, not wanting to be rude. He looked at me incredulously for a minute, until he answered. "Edward Cullen." he replied watching me with questionable eyes.

"Oh…that's a nice name." I said, feeling yet again self-conscious beside him, as he swayed me to the music. Where have I heard his name before? I thought, as he smiled down at me.

"Bella?" his voice broke me out of my trance as he once again spun me around to the music. "Yes?" I breathed. "Will you go for a walk in the gardens with me?" Edward asked, as the song came to an end, not letting go of me, as another started back up. I stared at him dumfounded, and nodded my head, not being able to speak at the moment.

He chuckled and began to lead me out the door. I felt eyes glaring into the back of my head, but I didn't care. I was in my own little world.

I smiled as he pulled me along the narrow road, I hardly noticed that we had passes a garden until we had gone by it. "Um…Edward? Where are we going? You just passed the gardens." I told him, all he did was chuckle and mumble something under his breathe.

I began to feel nervous as we began to move even further away from the ball, the only noise was the clips of my heels as we walked. He seemed to notice my current feeling of anxiety because he turned to give me a reassuring smile holding my hand a little tighter.

"Don't worry we're almost there." he said, as we entered a tunnel, I went ridged for a second. "Edward where are we going?" I breathed, as we were covered in shadows.

"It's a surprise...I know this place like the back of my hand…I won't let you fall." He whispered, I felt warm lips on my hand and gasped.

My eyes soon adjusted to the darkness of the tunnel. I silently asked myself if his hand was going numb from me squeezing it so tightly.

As soon as I was about to ask we exited the tunnel. I gasped at the sight before me. There laid the biggest garden that I have ever seen, it was magnificent with the lights illuminating it, making the shadows in just the right places.

There were flowers and trees of every color and kind, it wasn't even in the same category of the smaller garden that we had walked by before, which I had thought was magnificent, but this was…wow. It was nothing even compared to this one!

Lights were placed in all the bushes, scattered throughout the garden, lighting the walkway with a dim light. A gate stood in front of us, the sign made my heart drop ."The Royal Gardens" I gasped, in surprise and sadness. We weren't allowed to go in.

"Come on I want to show you something." he said beginning to lead me towards the gate, he was about to push it open when I protested. "Edward! We can't go in there! It's the royal gardens!" I said, in a hushed tone, not wanting to get caught.

He let out a little laugh. "Don't worry Bella, you're with me, you'll be fine." Edward said, giving me a crooked smile, before he pushed the gate open.

I looked around nervously as he pulled me through. "You're sure we won't get into trouble?" I asked him, worry laced my tone. "Positive." he said, not even thinking about it. I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at him but didn't press the subject.

We walked in silence for a few minutes, as I awed at what the garden contained. Edward watched me the entire time with bright green eyes and a crooked smile. I was beginning to fall in love with that smile...

"Edward?" I asked after a few more minutes of silence. "Yes?" He said in his musical voice of his. I was dazzled for a minute, left breathless, before I answered him.

"How did you know about this place? I mean…Aren't the only people that are suppose to be in here from the royal family?" I said, his smile once again left me stunned and one step behind.

"Simple…I've lived here all my life." he said, kissing my hand lightly, as he pulled me along the narrow road. That's when it dawned on me, who he really was. Prince Edward.
