Hello everyone! Since a lot of people really liked the fluff chapter last time, I think I'm going to add another one. Hopefully longer this time. Just let me know what you think!
Chapter Nine: A Rose among Daisies
B Pov
There's a rose among daisies, a beauty with thorns
Watch out, watch out! She's a wild fire
Poetry in motion, dancin' like she's got no place to be
A rose that's dreaming of a feather high up in the sky
Floating aimlessly through cloud
Strutting like a rock star, wavin' to the crowds
[Chorus]
Heads turn as she walks on by but she doesn't even care
'Cause her minds far from there
She's smiling, walkin' like she owns the place
Her minds seeing another face
She's a rose among daisies, following her own style
A rose you'll have to convince to stay awhile!
Before you know it her name's all you know
Before you know you're fallin' at her blow
She's just- just a rose among daisies, a rose, a rose
She already knows, she holds the whole world in her hands!
[Verse]
A rose that's just dancing to her own drum,
Rockin' out to her own music
Hey, no one ever said you had to listen
She's a rose who pays no attention,
Unless you have her attention
She's got better things to do
Than buying clothes and looking cute
Dacnin' like she owns the whole club
A rose with thorns, get too close you might get pricked!
[Chorus]
Heads turn as she walks on by but she doesn't even care
'Cause her minds far from there
She's smiling, walkin' like she owns the place
Her minds seeing another face
She's a rose among daisies, following her own style
A rose you'll have to convince to stay awhile!
Before you know it her name's all you know
Before you know you're fallin' at her blow
She's just- just a rose among daisies, a rose, a rose
She already knows, she holds the whole world in her hands!
[Verse]
Maybe it's best you keep your distance
It's best you don't fight her resistance
It's probably best to forget her face
You'd better to get out of this place
Hey it's not my problem you can't get her out of your head
Just don't cry when she knocks you dead
Whose face do you see when you hear that song
Who do you want to tell they're wrong
Who do you think about when you see a lonely rose
What would you say if she already knows?
[Chorus]
Heads turn as she walks on by but she doesn't even care
'Cause her minds far from there
She's smiling, walkin' like she owns the place
Her minds seeing another face
She's a rose among daisies, following her own style
A rose you'll have to convince to stay awhile!
Before you know it her name's all you know
Before you know you're fallin' at her blow
She's just- just a rose among daisies, a rose, a rose
She already knows, she holds the whole world in her hands!
[Ending]
I'm just a rose with thorns among the garden flowers
I'm the rose that's rockin' at all hours
It's not my problem you've fallen in love with me
You'll just have to wait and see
If I feel the same way you feel toward this rose
We'll see if you still want to kiss my nose
Can you handle this girl who's gonna be big some day
Can you stand to listen to what I've got to say
Can you handle this rose among the ordinary flowers
Can you handle this inner flame at all hours?
If not, then you can forget about this rose
And you want fall at my blows
You won't watch as I walk by
You won't think of me 'till the day you die
'Cause I know one day you'll think of me again
You'll think of the rose and see my face
Just smiling back at you…!
I was stretched out on the floor as Emmet and Alice started playing Emmett's new race car game. Alice was once again winning…for the fifth time.
Edward and I had finally finished the last of our song and I was beginning to feel incredibly mellow. Of course, Edward was still looking for a CD of his upstairs that he wanted to show me when I heard that song. A Rose Among Daisies by a new band called Sun-Kiss.
I liked it, but as soon as it was over someone turned the radio off. Edward was standing beside the stairs and was at my side a moment later.
"Found it." He held out a smooth CD case that was kept nicely.
"Wow, I thought you were kidding!"
"Nope, I knew the lead singer of Summer Rain very well." There was a groan from Emmet as Alice jumped up with a victorious smile.
"Yep, they were pretty good friends. Oh and by the way, you owe me twenty bucks, Emmet!"
"Damn little pixie," I thought I heard him mutter.
"Excuse me?" Alice turned around slowly and glared at Emmet with eyes that would chill even the best vampire hunter. It seemed to work because a moment later Emmet was recoiling, putting his hands up like an armed criminal with an apologetic expression.
"That you're an amazingly beautiful person who I adore."
"And?"
"And what?" She raised an eyebrow slowly. I had to fight back a laugh at Emmett's petrified expression.
"Andi'lltrytofindtwentydollarsbyyournextshoppingtrip."
Smiling evilly she said, "What was that? I didn't quite catch it."
"I'll try to find twenty dollars before your next shopping trip…"
"Good." And without another word, she skipped away from Emmet- passing by with a wink toward me- and up to her bedroom I assumed.
"Elizabeth," Edward said quietly. I turned back to face him just as Emmet went into the kitchen.
"Yes?"
"I want to show you something."
E Pov
How has it that an angel's landed here?
Right beside me, this perfect angel?
When she speaks it's like falling rain.
A rising tide just behind her eyes,
Swallow me in their depth.
[Chorus]
An angel without wings that's the only reason,
For the change from winter to spring season,
For this perfect person with watching eyes,
For the clear blue heaven skies.
Bathed in light I can see her halo,
But where oh, where are her wings?
How is it that this angel still sings?
An angel stranded here on planet Earth,
Landing right beside me on this day.
I can't say I mind one bit,
But this angel just doesn't seem to fit.
This angel's taken my breath away.
What more can I say?
Laughing like there's nothing funnier,
Never seen a day that's sunnier.
A smile that'd light the sun,
A smile to make me feel I've won.
She's an angel without wings, laying in my arms tonight.
An angel shining with her own heavenly light.
[Verse]
How can one person be so lucky,
To find the person as perfect as her?
How could I be so lucky to even see her?
I'd die a happy death to hear her voice,
I'd go out smiling if I could see her smiling,
I'd go down grinning if I could hear her laugh.
Say goodbye, kiss your dreams farewell;
Angels never stay forever.
Soon she'll have to go away,
Then what will I think to say?
How do you say goodbye to an angel?
[Chorus]
An angel without wings that's the only reason,
For the change from winter to spring season,
For this perfect person with watching eyes,
For the clear blue heaven skies.
Bathed in light I can see her halo,
But where oh, where are her wings?
How is it that this angel still sings?
An angel stranded here on planet Earth,
Landing right beside me on this day.
I can't say I mind one bit,
But this angel just doesn't seem to fit.
This angel's taken my breath away.
What more can I say?
Laughing like there's nothing funnier,
Never seen a day that's sunnier.
A smile that'd light the sun,
A smile to make me feel I've won.
She's an angel without wings, laying in my arms tonight.
An angel shining with her own heavenly light.
[Verse]
She's riding in the skies tonight, reaching for the moon,
Hoping to get there soon.
Shaking off the chains that keep her tied to the ground,
Untying the ropes that keep her bound.
How much light can my angel hold
Before her story's old?
How perfect can she be before it all falls apart?
How much love can she hold in her heart?
How much love is too much?
What does she feel with every touch?
What have those eyes of hers seen?
Does she like eyes the color green?
What
does she see when she's staring at me?
What, I wonder, what does
she see?
What reflects from my eyes to hers that she's watching so close?
This angel's like a drug, maybe I've got an overdose.
[Chorus]
An angel without wings that's the only reason,
For the change from winter to spring season,
For this perfect person with watching eyes,
For the clear blue heaven skies.
Bathed in light I can see her halo,
But where oh, where are her wings?
How is it that this angel still sings?
An angel stranded here on planet Earth,
Landing right beside me on this day.
I can't say I mind one bit,
But this angel just doesn't seem to fit.
This angel's taken my breath away.
What more can I say?
Laughing like there's nothing funnier,
Never seen a day that's sunnier.
A smile that'd light the sun,
A smile to make me feel I've won.
She's an angel without wings, laying in my arms tonight.
An angel shining with her own heavenly light.
[Ending]
I won't watch her fly away on a chariot of white
I told myself I'd be able to stand the sight
But I just can't hold myself back as I call her name
Telling her this just ain't a game
She's turning around again a smile on her face
She's saying let's leave this place
I won't look back if you don't
But I know I won't
Leaving a world of yesterday
And entering a world of tomorrow…
Carefully, I helped Elizabeth onto the ground and then uncovered her eyes. She gasped and looked slowly around.
I'd decided today that I'd show her my meadow but now it was our meadow.
The grass was long and green, swaying in a light breeze. The ground was slightly damp but not enough to bother either of us. The sky above was a beautiful blue with puffy white clouds that were no doubt rain clouds but wouldn't spill their rain for a while. The sun was shining brilliantly, making the meadow a very warm place. The trees seemed to dip their branches toward us- as if they were bowing to us.
Wildflowers of every shape, size and color swayed with the grass in the meadow, tickling my arms and legs.
"It's beautiful," Elizabeth whispered in an awed voice. I smiled then and hers reflected mine.
"It really is. I like to come here to think sometimes, it's really relaxing." I leaned down onto the grass and faced the sky. A moment later I saw that Elizabeth was lying beside me with her head tilted toward mine.
"What do you think about when you come here?"
"Well lots of things."
"What about recently?"
"I think about you mostly now…"
"That makes two of us," she laughed.
"Does it really? And what are these thoughts that involve me?" I laughed again when her cheeks turned slightly pink.
"Maybe about how you saved me so long ago, how grateful I am…" she trailed off thoughtfully.
"Really it wasn't like I had a choice. Something just told me to save you, but I had to save you from me first."
"And for that I'm grateful," she put a warm hand on my arm and looked at me with her chocolate brown eyes that were already making me feel like I was drowning in them.
"I love you Elizabeth." I didn't know I was about to say it. I just suddenly heard myself saying it. Her warmth was amazing, it seemed as if she were glowing in an inner light.
"I love you too, Edward." But said quietly, almost as if she had forgotten I could hear, "But could you love me after all that…?"
A Pov
Cupid's meddling again
Shooting arrows left and right
A mischievous grin, an evil plan
There he goes, cupid's done it again!
[Chorus]
Cupid's little helper glued on some patchwork wings,
Ignoring her cell phone's rings,
Grabbed her arrows and went out dancing.
She shot them left and right,
Dancing through the night.
Oh no, the bartender's in love with the DJ's girl!
Oh no, the bouncer and the dancer!
Mr. President and Mrs. Mayor!
Cupid's little helper's done it again.
What's the world to do when cupid's got his helper,
turning the world upside down?
Oh no, the teacher's in love with the class clown!
What are we gonna do, a human in love with a vampire!
Oh but you wouldn't dare call her a liar.
Striking love in everyone's hearts,
Help or harm, you decide!
If you ask me, we should all just hide!
Cupid's done it again, sent his girl here instead,
Well if you ask me, she should've stayed in bed.
[Verse]
She's turned the world upside down, but she's got a plan.
Why you ask, oh because she knows she can.
She's counting down the minuets, catching every eye,
Searching for every person, seeing every lie.
She's feeling the breaking hearts and crying for the broken,
Take this arrow as her token.
She'll shoot you an arrow, send you spinning back into love,
Watching with a smirk from above.
Seeing hearts all over the place.
She's wearing a smile on her face.
Cupid's girl is devious, messing with hearts,
Sometimes feeling them break into parts.
She's making the whole world a mess;
Tom boys wearing a dress?
Players becoming kind?
How ever did she find them?
[Chorus]
Cupid's little helper glued on some patchwork wings,
Ignoring her cell phone's rings,
Grabbed her arrows and went out dancing.
She shot them left and right,
Dancing through the night.
Oh no, the bartender's in love with the DJ's girl!
Oh no, the bouncer and the dancer!
Mr. President and Mrs. Mayor!
Cupid's little helper's done it again.
What's the world to do when cupid's got his helper,
turning the world upside down?
Oh no, the teacher's in love with the class clown!
What are we gonna do, a human in love with a vampire!
Oh but you wouldn't dare call her a liar.
Striking love in everyone's hearts,
Help or harm, you decide!
If you ask me, we should all just hide!
Cupid's done it again, sent his girl here instead,
Well if you ask me, she should've stayed in bed.
[Verse]
The cold becoming gentle?
Has the world whole gone mental?!
Cupid's girl, what's her name?
It doesn't matter, this is her game!
There she goes, meddling again!
I wonder what she has planned for poor Ken.
One little arrow sends him after Barbie doll.
She's just too busy to listen to him call.
Romeo's chasing Hannah,
Already bought a house in Montana.
Prince Charming loves the witch,
But she's just a royal b****
Snow White's pinning after the mermaid's man,
Knowing full well she easily can.
Sleeping beauty slept in late,
Too bad, she's missed her date.
But Ariel's not complaining, she's got him wrapped around her tail,
She has a plan that Alice said won't fail.
[Chorus]
Cupid's little helper glued on some patchwork wings,
Ignoring her cell phone's rings,
Grabbed her arrows and went out dancing.
She shot them left and right,
Dancing through the night.
Oh no, the bartender's in love with the DJ's girl!
Oh no, the bouncer and the dancer!
Mr. President and Mrs. Mayor!
Cupid's little helper's done it again.
What's the world to do when cupid's got his helper,
turning the world upside down?
Oh no, the teacher's in love with the class clown!
What are we gonna do, a human in love with a vampire!
Oh but you wouldn't dare call her a liar.
Striking love in everyone's hearts,

If you ask me, we should all just hide!
Cupid's done it again, sent his girl here instead,
Well if you ask me, she should've stayed in bed.
{Ending}
A midsummer's dream, everyone loves wrong,
It all started with that little pixie's song!
Hey Miss Alice, don't you know you're not cupid?
All this mess, well truthfully it's just stupid.
Hey, you knew it wouldn't last
When you spoke the spell you cast.
But you did do one thing right,
You kept the two together and tight.
I doubt that cupid himself, couldn't have started a better flame,
It was all thanks to you Miss Alice, and you little love game.
I opened my eyes and found myself still in my bedroom. I knew it! It'd finally happened! I closed my eyes and tried to remember every detail of the vision.
"I love you too, Edward," Bella said softly. Barely a moment later the two of them were leaning closer to each other, Edward's face hovering over hers for a moment before their lips met. Both of their expressions were of pure bliss, and I knew there was nothing outside of that moment for those two.
"Alice, you are a genius! Cupid's got nothing on you!" Hmm… "This calls for a shopping trip!"
____________________________________________________
Ok, so it was kind of long but Bella's song was kind of bouncing around in my head and once I started writing it I just had to include a song for each point of view! Bella's song is called A Rose Among Daisies. Edward's song is called A Wingless Angel and Alice's song is called Unlicensed Cupid. Personally, I think I like Alice's the best. I just thought it was funny. Tell me what you think, I LOVE reviews and this took probably from 5:30 to about now at 8:18 so almost three hours! Enjoy!
