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 88. You are a princox; go be quiet.

James was prepared to argue when he saw his date for the evening on the dance-floor with another man. He wouldn't have cared less normally as this date was far from romantic, but the look in her eyes for her dance partner made him seethe with anger. He excused himself from his uncle's side and made his way to the woman, all thoughts of Bella forgotten.

Bella managed to elude Mike for thirty minutes, but finally she'd agreed to dance…reluctantly. As she revolved around the floor, Bella felt a tingle up her spine, then saw intense green eyes following her.

End Note:

I had no internet at home over the weekend (due to children at home over holidays apparently watching movies in peak time gah) so I didn't quite get to catch up with all review replies. So sorry to those I've missed, I'll make it up to you this week. Loved all your reviews and totally agree – James is a douche!

I started drafting up a little summary of who is who and what has happened so far, which I'm thinking of posting tomorrow as well as the normal chapter. There is a lot happening at the ball, some of which was put in motion a while ago and it will hopefully help cement the relationships in your mind as you read.
