Chapter 21
Bella's POV
The day had passed yesterday, the letters and roses were no where to be seen, to which I was grateful for.
I had dressed for school and I heard a beep outside. I smiled when I saw Edward talking to him was Alice, she bouncing around next to him. She looked like she was begging him for something. I then realized something tomorrow was the Valentines Ball. O crap, she's asking if she can dress me up.
I ran downstairs and outside
"No Alice" I said
"What" she asked innocently, Edward pursed his lips from smiling.
"Alice no, I want to dress myself and if I make a crap job out of it you can re do me ok?"
"Fine" she sighed "Let's get to school"
************************** *********************************
Everyone was on the Valentines ball. The students were talking about it, girls suggesting what to wear. The boys weren't bothered and when I looked round the school, there were flyers up on the boards and walls, telling everyone which colors to wear.
"I'm going to come in pink"
"No your not I am" Lauren and Jessica were having a fight. I looked to Edward who was rolling his eyes. We were walking hand-in-hand towards our usual table for lunch.
"Jasper I have a question?"
"Yes" he looked to me while Alice was getting something out of her bag
"What do you think was the worst war ever, The vampire war you fought or the Valentines day war"
The Cullen's chuckled
"Defiantly the Valentines war, hands down"
"I never knew how important is was for girls" I shook my head and drank my drink.
"Of course it's important" Alice said putting her bag on the floor and looking at me.
"I still think it's a load of rubbish" Emmett replied smirking at Alice, wanting her to retaliate.
"Emmett…" Alice started.
"Hey Bella" I heard Mike behind me, o god I thought please tell me he isn't, judging by the sound of Edward's quiet growl my suspicions were correct
"Hey Mike, what's up"?
"Well I was wondering if you would like to go to the Valentines dance with me?" his face full of hope
"Em Mike, I think Jessica wants to go with you and I really wouldn't want to upset her" I played the Jessica card "And besides I'm going with Edward"
Mike looked to Edward
"O right" Mike looked so sad. God had better give me a medal for this
"But you know if there's a next dance we could go as friends" I stressed, I felt Edward's eyes on me
"Really" Mike looked better, his cheeks looked like they were hurting his smile was so big
"Sure, but just as friends Mike, and if Jessica or any other girl asks you to the next one you say yes, if you want to"
"Sure thanks Bella" he went off then happy as a sand boy. I looked towards Edward,
"I'm sorry it's just he looked so sad"
Edward nodded but not happily.
"Attention everyone" we looked to see the principal on the stage with a microphone "I'd just like to say something about the Valentines Day dance, the boys all have to wear tuxes and the girls have to wear dress which goes below the knees"
"WHAT!" The girls screeched even Alice and Rosalie
"What's the big deal?" I asked
"Bella, part of getting laid on Valentines Day is wearing reveling clothing" Alice said
"You'll get laid anyway" I said smirking
The Cullen's looked at me shocked, obviously by my boldness.
"What it's true" I shrugged
"Everyone calm down" the principal asked "That is what I've asked" he said before walking off the stage.
Myself and Edward were in bio. Mr. Banner had given us some work to do to pass the time.
"He's still trying to figure out what to do today" Edward whispered smirking then growled.
"What" I asked holding his hand
"Newton's getting on my nerves" I furrowed my eyebrows "He's planning for the next event already to be with you"
I smiled tightly
"Distract me Bella, he's really annoying me" he fisted his other hand. I bit my lip and smiled, I leaned into his ear.
"Well, em, underneath the dress I'll be wearing holds a very nice surprise for you after the ball" I licked and bit the edge of his ear. He shuddered and gulped.
"L-Like what?" He asked, I smiled
"Haven't you ever heard of lingerie Edward" I kissed his ear and pulled away when Mr. Banner pulled away.
"Mr. Cullen are you alright" I saw Edward and saw him panting
"I'm fine, may I get some air please?"
"Of course"
Edward all but nearly dived to the door. I smiled knowing what he would do now.

AFTER SCHOOL
"Hey Angela?"
"Yes"
"I was wondering if you were busy tonight?"
"No Why"
"Well I was wondering if you would like to come shopping with me?"
"O of course I would love to" she smiled brightly "Let me just pop home ot tell my parents and I'll be ready"
"Ok, I'll see you later and thanks for coming"
I walked to where the Cullen's were parked and saw Alice glare at me
"Bella, have I done something to annoy you?"
"No" I replied furrowing my eyebrows
"Then why did you ask Angela to go shopping with you tonight and not me" she pouted
"Because I don't want my feet to die tonight" the Cullen's chuckled
"Please Bella"
"No Alice, I just want me and Angela to hang out"
"Why"
"Alice your behaving like a child" I sighed
"No tell me why"
"Because it might be the last time I ever get to hang out with her"
Alice went silent "o" she shrugged and hopping in the car
"Unbelievable" I muttered climbing in when Edward opened the door. "Thanks" I smiled up at him.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Angela had come round 10 minutes after school had finished. We were half way to the shops when Angela started the questions
"So what are we shopping for"?
"Well" I but my lip and blushed "Em, lingerie and stuff" I muttered suddenly shy again
"O em, good because I was going to em ask your opinion on something"
I looked at her, she briefly looked at me and I widened my eyes
"You and Ben are…" I trailed off and she chuckled
"It's all being arranged, o Bella's it's going to be perfect" she sighed in content I smiled
"I', happy for you Ange"
"So are you and Edward…"
"Hopefully" I said giddily
we arrived at the shops and headed straight for the underwear shops, Victoria secret, Le Semme, Ann summers, be cheeky.
We were currently in Be Cheeky. When I was looking through some underwear I saw in the mirror Edward. He was trying not to be seen and I had to laugh a little.
"What"
I leaned into her ear "See by the café?" she nodded and gasped and also gigglier
"O my god, has he followed us"
I chuckled "Care for a little revenge Ange"
She smiled and giggled again, she grabbed some underwear
"You going to wear them in front of him and act like he's not there"
"O yes, come on" I dragged her into the fitting room, it was exposed enough for Edward to see, and not anyone else.
Let the torture begin
Okay I admit even when I was writing the bit when Edward follows them I was a little creeped out by his stalker ness. :)
Please remember to review this chapter, thanks again for sticking with me. 1 more day to go till Valentines day and then the 'admirer' shall be revealed.
