Chapter 23 – Dance Dance Part 2

Prom:

As she sipped her Pepsi, Bella Swan felt two hands covered her eyes.
"Edward what are you doing?" She laughed knowing straight away it was her best friend. He'd worn some of his Father's expensive cologne tonight and Carlisle Cullen was the only man in Forks earning enough to buy it.
"Do you trust me?" He asked whispering in her ear; his voice very mischievous.
"Edward what are you up too?" She groaned trying to pull his hands down but they wouldn't budge.
"Do you trust me?"
"Obviously." She sighed slumping back against the chair.
"Okay then! Stand up and I'll guide you." Reluctantly she did as told knowing his tone of voice always meant he was going to make her do something reckless like the time in Camp where he'd convinced her to become his blood friend.
"As long as it doesn't include a rusty pocket knife." She warned allowing him to push her forward. His blood idea had caused her finger to get infected and stopped her from going swimming for almost all Camp.
"Okay now close your eyes I'm going to let go. No peeking!" he chuckled moving to stand in front of her "Open them." The first thing she saw was his cheeky grin as he pulled her against him but when she looked around it got wider. They were stood in the middle of the dance floor surrounded by couples.
"Edward!" she growled slapping his shoulder lightly "I hate dancing!"
"I know you've told me a million times but it's your prom and Newtons obviously not going to dance with you." He scowled. A few minutes before he'd watched his best friends date go out back with some of the other boys and a few bottles of Vodka.
"Because Mike knows I don't dance." She glared up at him annoyed at how he had called her date. although she'd never admit it she was secretly happy; Mike Newton cared to much about what other people thought and how her breasts looked instead of how her mind worked.
"One song?" he asked using puppy dog eyes that his little sister used to get out of almost anything. She went to protest but the song that had started made her shut her mouth immediately "You can't sit back down till you've danced to this it's your favourite." Edward grinned starting to sway them.

Now:

"Look at them. They're all in on it." Bella huffed from her place against Edward's chest as he swayed them along to the first verse. Although their baby was growing nicely inside her stomach he had managed to position her so that it didn't stick out in the way.
Edward rubbed her back softly with a slight grin "And you call me the mischievous one."
"You are, you just don't plan."
"No? Who do you think set up the song to come on a Prom?"
"What?" Bella asked looking up at him shocked. That one moment had burned into her mind; there wasn't a day she had ever gone without reminiscing it. Edward spun her lightly with his hand.
"I can be your Hero baby. I can kiss away the pain." He sang softly. It was a very little known fact that the Cullen twins had similar vocal talent "I will stand by you forever." He pulled her back against him "You can take my breath away."
"Why?" She asked staring directly at him.
"I just sang it to you." He whispered

Prom:

"Won't Jessica be jealous?" Bella asked Edward as he twirled her around.
"Who cares?" He shrugged "She'd told half the school I was her date before she'd even asked me." Bella gripped Edward's shoulders tightly when he pulled her back into him. The song had been playing a few minutes and already she'd stood on her own foot and almost tripped over her dress if it hadn't been for Edward grabbing her in time.
"Edward you're too much of a gentleman." She scolded "You could have taken someone prettier."
"I could have but she would have turned me down." He explained "That and I'd have had too wrestler her off the other guy."
"You would have beaten him I'm sure." She'd seen Edward fight only once but it had only taken one of his punches to break the opponents noise; Tyler Crowley still had the bump on his nose to show it.
"Ah but the frightening thing is what she might have done to me for doing that." He looked at her in mock fright and she giggled.
"She sounds like someone I'd like to meet."
"Oh you know her quite well." He explained as Enrique Iglesias started to sing his last verse. Bella stared at his eyes for a long moment finding herself reflected before it hit her.
"Me?" She breathed in shock; Edward simply nodded. For the longest moment they continued to gaze into the others eyes seeing their possible futures ahead. Edward saw nothing but good however Bella saw only her parent's lives with her and Edward's face; a thought that scared her to the bone. Slowly his mouth moved towards hers but she pulled back.
"No I can't." She pulled from him the second the music ended and walked back to her seat.
"Maybe one day you will." Edward muttered going back to his date.

Now:

For Bella it was like that moment at Prom all over again; the gaze of longing between them and the promise of something good but the fear of making her parents mistake.
He's going to die One part of her mind whispered; the one she paid attention to last time.
Exactly The other half jumped in Have that time with him while you can and give him what he deserves! Give him a chance to live!
"Bella?" Edward asked nervously as he stared down at her "Are you okay?"
"Yes." She croaked out tilting her head up to his "I can be your hero." Without a seconds hesitation he pressed his lips to hers and hugged her tightly. From their different positions across the room the rest of the Cullen clan and Emmett watched with happiness as the couples long overdue feelings flooded out. Each person shared a knowing smile with the others; they'd expected this moment for a long while.

Pulling back, Edward pressed his forehead to Bella's just holding a smile.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." Opening her eyes she looked up at him with a grin.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to allow you to do that." She whispered back leaning in for a second kiss. However she suddenly felt faint.
"Bella?" Esme asked watching her honorary daughter's legs start to shake "Edward grab hold of her!"
"Bella!" Edward held her just in time as her legs gave out "Dad!" The Crescent Moon ceased playing and guests parted for Carlisle who ran towards them. He placed his hand to his unconscious honorary daughter's head.
"We need to call an ambulance."
