RPOV
Today is the day Bella and I will get ready for the Prom. After our talk yesterday I feel as though we've grown closer. I really got some things off my chest. I'm glad I opened up to her; maybe after this we'll be even closer. Its 9 am and I just got out of the shower; I walked down stairs to the kitchen to see Charlie sitting at the table with a cup of coffee and Bella cooking breakfast over the stove. I say, "Good morning," and sit down at the table with Charlie.
"Rose I'm so excited about today! I'm not that into shopping but, I think this will be fun!" Bella exclaimed after setting down two plates of bacon and eggs in front of Charlie and me. I'm so glad she's excited. I was a little worried about asking her in the first place because she never liked going shopping with me and Renee. I looked at Charlie who had a smile on his face. Hm I guess he's not the only one happy that me and Bella are finally spending time together.
After breakfast Bella and I head out to my Red BMW. I worked weekends and used some of my inheritance money to buy this car. We drove to Port Angeles and checked around their dress shops. I didn't find anything I liked. And Bella couldn't really decide. So I called Charlie and told him that me and Bella were taking a trip to Seattle. Since the dance is late on Sunday (weird only Forks High would have their dances on a Sunday) Bella and I will make the hour drive to Seattle and pamper our selves and spend the night in a hotel. We'll return early on Sunday.
We check ourselves into a spa and resort. Bella looks overwhelmed about the whole ordeal. "Oh my…Rose this is way too expensive. We could just sleep at a Motel 6. No problem, we don't need to spend this much money if we're only staying here for one day." She said while looking around starstruck.
"Bella, this our day. Don't worry about it. I'm paying so just sit back and relax." We walked to our room. It was a one room with two twin beds, mini fridge, laptop with internet, a balcony over looking the rest of the city, and a huge bathroom with a tub and a stand up shower. We decided to have a small lunch here and then we'll go to the mall in Seattle.
We went to all different shops looking for the right dresses, accessories, make up, shoes, etc.
"Hey Rose look at this store, its really big; do you think I'll find the perfect dress, I don't know what Edward likes," she said looking down sadly. Aw, Bella is worried.
We go into the store (its called Escape). It has all these different sections for clothes, accessories, make up, and shoes. This is the perfect store for us.
"Bella you go look around, and I'm sure whatever you choose Edward will have to like." I told her
I started to look around and I found a light pink strapless dress. It was kind of corset like but the straps in the back zig zag. The dress goes down to my ankles; below the waist of the dress it's a very sparkly pink. Now: shoes. I found the perfect open-toed shoes, they were silver with straps that go around the tendons. I went looking for Bella, I found her in the dress section of the store. She had picked out a sapphire blue dress with spaghetti straps and an empire waist that reaches down to her ankles. The dress was perfect for her it complemented her skin.
I pulled out my phone and texted Emmett; he was tux shopping with Edward today.
Babe, ask Edward if he likes sapphire,-R
A few minutes later and Emmett texted me back.
He said whatever…,-E
Ugh boys are no help.
Don't forget the corsages,-R
"Okay Bella, now that you have picked out your dress all we need is shoes for you, accessories, and make up." I told her
"Do we really have to have make up, cuz' I don't feel al that comfortable…" she stammered.
"Okay for you we'll go simple and natural." I told her she seemed pleased.
We found silver bracelets and necklaces, some cute sparkly earrings. Bella even picked out some elegant peep toe heels. I picked out some pins and clips for our hair.
Bella went to the food court to get us some dinner while I paid for everything.
When I got to the food court I was surprised to see Bella had paid for everything
"Bella I thought I was paying for dinner?" I asked her as I sat down.
"Nope, the least I could do is buy you dinner." She said while stuffing a few French fries into her mouth.
"Well that was nice of you. So…tell me about Edward." I said
Her face turned a shade of pink and she looked up at the ceiling and let out a long sigh. Wow, she must really like this guy.
"Oh I know that look, that's the same look I got when Emmett and I started going out." I said
" I really like him Rosalie, he's smart, funny, and sweet. And he's so cute when he's frustrated." She gushed. We ate our burgers and fries and she talked about her fears about relationships. Since this is her first official boyfriend she told me she doesn't want to screw anything up.
"Bella, just be yourself, he wants no one else but you" I told her.
That brightened up her face.
"We better go we don't want to be late for our facials" I told her
We made it back to the hotel on time and went to the spa. After all that shopping its time to relax at the spa. We got seaweed raps, facials including: cucumbers. Bella was little skeptical about the mani-pedi's. She asked me, "Why do I need a pedicure, we should focus on the make up; I'm hoping Edward will be looking into my eyes, not at my toes." What she said was true and I laughed at her for it.
"Okay we'll work extra hard on the eye make up." I told her.
After the spa we went back to our rooms.
"So, Rosalie, I know we haven't…well we don't know each other as well as..what im trying to say is-"Bella stammered.
"You have questions right?" I asked her
"yeah" she said
"Ask away. Look I think the best way for us to get to know each other again is to be completely honest with each other." I said
"Okay, so this is very forward, but…Did you and Emmett do it?"
"Woah.." is aid bewildered by her question.
"I'm sorry, that's way to personal, lets just drop it."
"No, I'll answer you. We didn't do "it" you know have sex" I said the last part in a whisper.
I smiled as she blushed at the topic.
"Look Bella, if your worried About Edward trying to get past home plate after prom, don't. I don't think he's that kind of guy. And if you want I'll get Emmett to talk to him, even though he's probably going to say something anyway." I told her.
"No, not prom. No. I meant if me and Edward. Well, if our relationship were to mature as well as you and Emmett's. I just wanted to be prepared if he ever wanted, if I ever wanted… I don't know. Its just that Edward is really good looking, and he could have any girl at school and he picked me. I just don't want that to turn out to be a bust or anything. I don't want to disappoint him. I'm still a little confused as to why he picked me." She said
"Bella, you're an amazing girl. Edward is lucky to have you, I really doubt that he would do anything to push you in any way. The way he looks at you and talks about I can see he truly cares. And he picked you for you. And when your relationship "matures" or whatever, and you feel that you guys are ready to do "it" then you can talk to me. Just slow down a little. You gotta walk before you run." I told her
She thought about what I said for a few moments. I hope I didn't hurt her feelings. Her eyes were guarded like she was holding back her feelings. Oh god I hope she doesn't cry, this is suppose to be a happy day.
"Your right Rose, I shouldn't feel insecure about myself, Edward and I will just go with the flow."
After our litter chat we watched movies and ordered desert from room service.

Me and Emmett are back home from getting our tuxes with our spiffy bow ties. I got the perfect corsages for Bella is blue; it'll match perfectly with her pale skin. It'll also complement her blush. Man she's even cuter when she blushes.
"Now Edward, we need to have "the talk"." Emmett said to me. We were sitting on the couch watching the football game.
"What do you mean?" I asked him
"listen, their will be no 1st, 2nd, 3rd base or home plate. If I here Bella crying about you doing a fuck and run, I'll twist your balls so tight you won't be able to walk for a year." Emmett exclaimed. I was little bit scared for my balls right now.
"listen Emmett, that wasn't what I was planning to do at all. I care about Bella and I wouldn't do anything to hurt her purposely." I told him honestly.
I could tell that he saw the sincerity in my eyes cause he let out a booming laugh that made Esme walk out of the kitchen to see if there was something wrong. He even gave be a back braking hug.
"Don't worry Edward, when Rosalie haves this talk with you then you'll be really scared." He told me.
"Look Edward, Bella is like my little sister, love her to death, brake anyone's legs of they messed with her. I just want the best guy for her, and you Edward you're alright." He told me I looked at him skeptically. He reminds me of someone…

"Edward, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend, Jasper" Alice said.
It was Saturday, which means visitors day. I just got done having lunch with my Uncle when Alice sauntered up to me with a tall blonde guy.
"Hello," I said and shook his hand. He had an iron grip. He looked at me warily
"Hey I'm gonna go get a fruit cup or some jell-o do you guys want anything?"Alice asked us.
We said no and she danced off to the cafeteria.
"So, Edward…what are you in here for?" he asked me…I looked at him confusedly, not answering his question.
"That's okay, it's your business anyway right" he said
"Alice talks about you a lot," he said quietly. I gave him a look that said 'get to the point'.
"Look I don't know what you did, and I don't want to know what you did to get in here, and if I did know I would probably break your legs or worse…" he blabbed on and on…
I gave him another look
"Look, I can't be with Alice while she's here, and there are all sorts of people around and I don't know you, but she does…so I guess even though I don't want to I guess I have to trust you.."
"I understand; and don't worry so much about her, she can take care of herself," I told hi. "And to be honest, I'm a little afraid of her" I told him truthfully. He laughed really loud. It sounds so different from his voice. I can tell that he's usually quiet.
"You know what Edward, you're alright."
Xxx Prom Night
BPOV
Me and Rose stayed up all night watching chick flicks. What kept us goin was all the desert and junk food we ordered from room service. I drove Rosalie's car back to Forks while Rose was picking out the make up she wanted me to wear tonight. We got home in just before Charlie left for work, we brought him breakfast; his favorite: blackberry pancakes.
We chilled for the afternoon, then 6:00 o'clock came around and it was time to get ready for Prom. The dance started at 8:30; according to Rose we needed as much time as we can get. We went through all the processes: hair & make up.
Rose decided to wear her hair curly, half up and half down. And me getting all insecure again, didn't know what I should do with my hair. What does Edward like? Stop it Bella! I'll just be myself, I'll wear it straight and leave it down. He says I should wear it down more.
It was &:30 and me and Rosalie were all dressed and ready. We were just waiting upstairs in my room, wondering when the boys were going to get to the house. I started nibbling on my freshly made manicure, awaiting anxiously for Emmett to blow the horn of his big black Hummer.
"Bella stop fidgeting, don't be so nervous. They'll get here when they get here okay."
I nodded and looked down at my toes, I hope Edward will pay more attention to me then my pedicure.
I heard the beep of Emmett's hummer and nearly jumped and tripped over my backpack that was on the floor. From the floor I heard Rosalie's laughter as she left the room. I went to the bathroom to check that I didn't mess up my make up. I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a light shade of brown on my eyelids, with a touch of black eye-liner. My lips were what Rose called "all natural" meaning some clear lip shining lip gloss. Rose told me I didn't need any blush, I took care of that myself.
"Hey Bella are you come down here or what?" my dad yelled. I went to the stairs holding onto the banister to make sure I didn't fall in these killer heels…

Emmett knocked on the door, and a tall man with a mustache and brown hair answered the door.
"Hey Charlie," Emmett said to Chief Swan; he walked into the house and sat on the couch like he lived there. "Hello Chief Swan," I said to him and went to follow Emmett, but he stopped me by moving in front of me. He held up a red rag in his left hand and started to wipe off a pistol in his right hand.
"What's your name kid?" he asked me.
"Edward," I told him confidently.
"You take care of my daughter, and you'll get to keep your kneecaps" he told me
"Yes sir." I told him. He stepped aside and invited me in to his house. He sat down at the kitchen table and cleaned his gun while keeping an eye on me. I rolled back on my heels, a little uncomfortable. I looked up anxiously waiting for Bella to walk down the stairs. I heard footsteps and I looked up thinking it was Bella. Instead my eyes saw Rosalie walk gracefully down the steps, with eyes only for Emmett. Emmett stood up and offered Rosalie his arm, then I heard him whisper 'Babe, you look so hot!" and she giggled.
Chief Swan yelled for Bella to come down. Then I heard dainty footsteps at the foot of the stairs, and the most beautiful creature walked down the stairs. Bella she looked amazing in her dress, she was wearing a blue like sapphire, which will match perfectly with the corsage I got her. Her hair was straight and left down; it framed around her heart shaped face. She walked carefully down the stairs and when she reached the landing she smiled at me. I was starstruck, she looked so beautiful, I couldn't move. Then a voice pulled me back to reality. I looked away from the angle's brown eyes to look at who was speaking. "Well boy, aren't you gonna put her corsage on," he told me.
I walked my way over to Bella and carefully slipped her corsage on her wrist. And she blushed a shade of red. "Bella you look beauti-i-iful" I stuttered, oh my god, I'm an idiot. Bella giggled and looked at me with bright brown eyes. "Well I see she didn't pick the sharpest tool out of the tool box," I heard Chief Swan mutter, and then a booming laugh from Emmett. Bella looked at them with scolding eyes, and they shut up real quick…

After a few pictures and my Dad telling me "Bella, you look beautiful, just like your mom on our prom night," he had said with shining eyes. We were on our way out the door when I heard my dad say, "Hey Edward, Don't forget no funny business," he said sitting down and pointing to his knees. I looked at Edward confused, who just looked at my dad with fearful eyes and said, "Yes sir."
When we got to the prom everything was spectacular. The decorations were great; Lauren and Angela really did their best.
We all took our seats and ate dinner. Emmett and Rosalie were too engrossed in each other to pay attention to Edward and me.
"Bella, would do me the honor?" Edward had stood up and offered me his hand. I just stared at his hand. What the hell. I took it and said "I'm warning you now, I'm not very good,"
"I think I can fix that," he said and led me to the dance floor. A slow song had started to play.
"He held my right hand while my other when to his shoulder. His right hand went around my waist and he lifted me up so my toes were on his toes. We waltz around the rest of the night. I never wanted him to let go of my hand. We kept our eyes locked on each other the whole night. I betting people were jealous. We were interrupted when Rosalie tapped me on the shoulder. "Lets go, the Prom is over already."
I looked around and everyone was gone, and even the music had stopped. I laughed and Edward smiled.
The funny thing was that me and Edward didn't even talk, it's like we didn't have to. We could tell what we both were thinking through our eyes. It's all in the eyes.
A/N: okay so hope u like that extra long chapter. It took me weeks to write. At first I didn't have the right inspiration to write this chapter.
