Beautiful Tyrant

**..**..**..**..**

A/N:

In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the inspiration and chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet.

Chapter 63. I'll look to like, if looking liking move.

"I'll think about it, Renee. I'm not making any promises. I hardly know Mike apart from a few functions we've chatted. Surely I can't be expected to make a decision on such short acquaintance?" Bella was satisfied that would put her mother off for a while, but her smugness was short-lived.

"You're exactly right, Bella. That is why we have invited Mike to attend the Heart Foundation Ball with us in a few days. He will be your date for the evening."

Holy crap, I walked right into that one, didn't I?

Knowing that she was cornered, Bella ungraciously acquiesced.

End Note:

You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for the support you've shown my little fic. As a thank you I am posting two chapters tomorrow (Australian time) – one is the final chapter to Bella's meeting with her mother which will be posted in the morning and the next we've fast tracked to the night of the ball which will be posted as per normal.

Next Update: Saturday 24th September x 2
