"Oh Bella… come on." Alice and Rosalie encouraged, as they pointed to Alice's huge bathroom. I just groaned and walked slowly to the bathroom that was sure to hold my doom. When I got into the bathroom, Alice clapped and ran in with Rosalie, who shut the door.
"Okay Bella, all you have to do is sit back, close your eyes and relax. It'll be over soon." Rosalie insisted. I just groaned.
"Yea, right." I told them, and Alice giggled. But none the less, I did what they said.
It was the night of the Formal, and Rosalie and Alice literally begged me to let them dress me up, since I was going with Edward. I smiled at the fact that I was actually going with Edward to the Formal. The night that he asked me seemed like a far off dream, but I knew it was real. I couldn't believe that he had actually asked me, the plainest girl on earth, to go with him, the sexiest god ever. As I sat in the bathroom, I felt only a little bit of what Rosalie and Alice were doing to me. I wouldn't tell them, but I was glad I had them to help me look pretty for Edward tonight. I soon felt Rosalie fixing my hair and Alice running out to get my dress. I soon heard her come back in and shut the door.
"Okay, all done." Rosalie said, and I opened my eyes. I turned to Alice, who had my dress already out, and ready for me. They both helped me get it on, with out messing up my hair or make-up.
"Wow! Bella, you look amazing." Rosalie said, admiring me. Alice trilled from beside me.
"Bella, you look great. I'm so glad I bought that dress for you." Alice said, clapping and jumping up and down. I just giggled, and admired myself in the mirror. I did look gorgeous. The dress hugged me perfectly, my make-up was done light, so it looked perfect, and my hair was done in small and bouncy ringlets that took shape around my face perfectly.
"Okay, now Rosalie and me have to go get ready. You can go wait in the living room if you want." Alice insisted. I just nodded and walked slowly to the living room. I sat down gently on the floor, making sure not to mess my dress up. I sat there for a minute, and let my mind wonder. I thought about where I was right now, and how far I've come since the… accident. I thought about Jacob, and what it would be like to have him here with me right now. I closed my eyes and imagined Jacob, and then he was there, behind my eyes. He was smiling widely, his eyes sparkling. Then I noticed someone else there in my daydream. I looked over and saw the most wonderful person ever… Edward. He was smiling his crooked grin and he held his hand out for me. I looked over at Jacob, worry taking over my face. But he was still smiling.
"Go ahead. I want you to be happy and move on. This is your start." He said. I nodded at him and felt a few tears fall down my face.
"I love you." I said quietly. Then I turned my face to Edward. He was wearing a tux, that looked dazzling on him. I started to walk towards him and I placed my hand gently in his. He ran the back of his hand across my cheek in one swift movement that felt so real, then he spoke.
"Bella? Are you okay?" he asked gently, almost a whisper. But I could still hear him and his voice was close and sounded so real. Then I realized I wasn't dreaming anymore. Edward was really talking to me. I guess I didn't hear the door open. I opened my eyes to see him crouched down by my side, with my hand in his, and his hand lingering on my cheek. He smiled when he saw my open eyes. I smiled in response and nodded.
"Yea, just thinking a bit. Don't worry." I told him. "Ummm… could you help me up?" I asked gently and he laughed at my question, but stood up and grabbed my other hand and lifted me up. When I was up, he kept his hands in mine, and his eyes stared into mine. I looked down at me feet and blushed.
" Thanks." I told him, and looked back up. He was smiling and one hand dropped to his side, as the other stayed in my other hand.
"Your welcome. Oh, and by the way, you look absolutely stunning tonight." He said the last part in a whisper, so only I could hear. I blushed and smiled.
"So do you." I stated. He was wearing a black tux that contrasted against his skin and made him look even sexier. His eyes sparkled and he smiled. Then I realized Emmett and Jasper were behind him, smiling at me and I just smiled back and blushed.
"Wow Bella, I gotta say it, you look beautiful." Emmett said, which only made me blush a darker red because Jasper nodded in agreement.
"Thanks guys, but just wait till you see your dates." I told them gently. Just then, Rosalie and Alice came out from Alice's room and walked gracefully over to Emmett and Jasper. They were greeted by a hug and a sweet kiss. Jasper's eyes were sparkling, and Emmett looked speechless. Rosalie was wearing a blood red strapless dress that was floor long, and hugged her curves perfectly, and her hair was pinned up in a graceful bun. Alice was in a simple black dress that fell to her knees, and it was strapless also, and it hung loosely around her curves, and her hair was done in ringlets like mine.
"Are you guys ready?" Edward asked us. We all nodded and headed down to the parking garage. We had all decided to take our own vehicles for this occasion. I started to head for the Volvo, but Edward grabbed my elbow gently and pulled me the other way.
"We're not taking the Volvo tonight. This is a special occasion, so that calls for a special car." He said gently. I just shrugged my shoulders and went along with him. He led us outside to the most beautiful car I've ever seen. My eyes widened and my mouth dropped.
"We're taking this?" I asked, amazed. He just looked at me and rolled his eyes.
"Of course. It's my special occasion car." He said and winked. He opened the door to the Aston Martin and I got in gently and he shut the door. He was soon on his side and he slid in gracefully. He ran a hand through his hair and started the car. The car purred to life and Edward pulled out onto the highway. Emmett and Jasper's cars were right behind us. We soon got to the Yacht, where the Formal was going on. It only took 10 minutes to get there because Edward drove like a maniac. He got out after turning the car off and came over to my side and opened the door. He held out his hand, and I took it as he gently pulled me out of the car. He held out his elbow then and I slid my arm through it as we started to walk onto the boat. When we were on, all eyes seemed to turn to us. So of course I blushed and looked down. Edward just laughed and pulled me to a table. I sat down and looked around. The yacht was lit up beautifully with streamers and flowers everywhere. Most people were dancing.
"Would you like a drink." Edward asked me from across the table. I just nodded and he got up and headed to the punch bowl. While I was admiring everything, I didn't see Edward come back until he set a glass in front of me. I looked over at him and gave him a sweet smile.
"Thank you." I said sweetly and took a drank. He just smiled at me and looked into my eyes intently. I blushed a dark red and his smile widened. He took a drank of his punch then looked around. I looked to the dance floor and saw Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper all dancing gracefully on the dance floor. No one compared to their graceful movements.
"Bella…" Edward started but quickly stopped. I looked at him confused. He was staring at me again.
"Yes Edward?" I asked sweetly. He looked down and started to play with his thumbs. I just sighed and looked back to our friends.
"Would you like to dance with me?" he almost whispered, where I could barely hear him. He looked up at me and his eyes were smoldering. My eyes lit up and I smiled.
"I would love to Edward." I told him gently. He smiled his crooked grin and got up and came over to me. He held out his hand and I took it and he pulled me up and walked to the dance floor. He turned around when we were in the middle of the floor and he gently pulled me to him. He placed one hand on my waist and the other on my right hand. I placed my one hand on his shoulder and we soon started to twirl and spin gracefully on the floor. The whole time, he never took his eyes off me, and I just blushed and kept my eyes on him as well. Soon the song "Crush" came on by David Archuleta. His hands moved down to my waist and I moved mine to his neck and we started to sway and spin in a circle. He soon started to sing to me.
"… Cause a possibility that you would ever feel the same way about me, it's just too much, just too much." He sung softly in my ear. I felt a shiver go down my spine. I felt him smile against my skin.
"Why do I keep running from the truth, all I think about is you, you got me hypnotized, so mesmerized." He kept going.
"And I just got to know… do you ever think, when your all alone, all that we can be, where this thing can go?" he was getting into it now and for a brief second I thought he was talking about us. But I soon pushed the thought from my head.
"Am I crazy or falling in love, is it really just a crush." He sang gently. He spun us gently and started to sway again. He kept singing quietly in my ear and it always sounded like he was talking about us. But I never got my hopes up. I just couldn't do that just so I could get hurt again. Soon the song came to an end and he sung the last line softly to me,
"Do you catch your breath when I look at you, are you holding back, like the way I do? Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away, but this crush ain't going away, going away." I looked up into his eyes, searching for a meaning to why he sounded like he did, but there was no clue. After that the song "Better In Time" came on and we started to sway gently again. I listened carefully to the song, and when I was actually hearing it, it sounded a lot like my life right now.
"
It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through
Going coming thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gonna be OK
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings
If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that's the path
I believe in
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn't notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gonna be OK
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time"
When the song was over, I felt tears running down my cheeks. But Edward noticed and he wiped them away gently with the back of his hand. I sighed in comfort at his touch and looked up into his eyes. They were smoldering as he smiled gently at me. I looked at his face intently and reached up and touched his cheek. He closed his eyes at my touch and I smiled. Edward, I thought. He looked back at me and I closed my eyes and stood on my tip-toes so I could reach his face. He met me halfway and our lips touched. There was a spark there, and he kissed me gently and with sweetness. An electric current ran through my body, and I smiled under his lips. Now… now I'm complete. I thought and kissed Edward back.
