My lips seemed to part as I took a sharp inhale just looking at her. The dress compliment her figure, making my imagination run wild. Her makeup kept her skin natural, making her pink hue still visible, and the dark eye makeup made her brown eyes seem lighter in comparison. Her skin was naturally a beautiful pale shade, setting the blue of her dress to look rich on her.
She looked worthy of the entire earth in my eyes.
"Oh, hunnie you look beautiful, dont you agree Edward?" Charlie questioned, looking at his daughter with a proud smile.
"Gorgeous,"I say, my mind still frozen I awe from looking at her.
As she starts to descend, my smile grows wider, watching her beauty in crease with each step. My eye stayed transfixed on her eyes, as she gazed into my own. A fresh pink creeping its way onto her face. Stunning.
"Dont be out too late Bella, I want you to bring her home by midnight, without a scratch on her body." Charlie warned me, and Bella looked mortified, turning to her father with eyes wide.
"Dad, I'm an adult-"
"Don't give me that, I know you're an adult, but you will always be my little girl. Just go and have fun hunnie." He told her, leaning down to give her a kiss on the top of her head.
I know this was both hard for Bella and her father. Through witnessing their behaviour, I know both are uncomfortable with expressing emotion. Especially Charlie.
"Thank you dad," Bella told him , quietly. She took a step towards me, and I grasped her hand, walking with her slowly, to the front door.
"Remember what I said Edward." Charlie called, from the door, as I helped Bella get into the seat without hurting herself further.
"I won't forget, Charlie." I told him, and he nodded, going to look at his daughter sat in my passenger seat. I felt like I was living out the teenage boy dream here. Everything was how I imagined it to be.
I was giddy as I slid into the driver seat my heart in my stomach, as I pulled out of the Swans driveway. I just had one more thing to complete. I continued to drive, both me and Bella sending glances towards each other. She really was a distraction. Without my personal sixth sense I needed to focus on the narrowing roads, hidden by the dark forks forest.
We pulled into the school parking lot, the gym in the distance, with a silly bannger and a ballon arch at the entrance. It completed all the cheesy cliche perfectly. Now, I was just about to add another one to add to the night.
I reached into my tux poxet, producing the corsage.
"A beautiful flower, for even more beautiful woman," I say, producing the corsage and presenting it to her. It was a large baby blue lily set off with some of the multiple coloured dandelions, like from the meadow.
"It's beautiful," Bella said quietly, her words catching slightly in her throat.
She reached for it, but I stopped her, wanting to attach it myself. I smiled, leaning over the console, to grab her wrist, I turned it over, seeing the the mark left by James. My thumb traced it, feeling the coldness of the crescent shape. Leaning down, I pressed a gentle kiss in the middle.
"Do you regret it?" Bella asked curiously, as I leaned back up. I attached the corsage to cover the mark, making her skin once again flawless.
"Regret what exactly?" I asked, feeling a sense of deja vu.
"Suckign the venom out, you could have let it spread. I would have been like you." She said, the sincerity in her words making me shake my head.
"No way, I would never regret my decision to save you. Not only did I save your soul Bella, but you gave me mine back aswell." I smiled, she raised her hand tracing my jaw, with a ghostly touch.
"You always had a soul to me," She caressed, leaning over to meet my lips. I allowed her, entrance straight away, feeling a bundle of excitement race through my veins. I had to pull away, otherwise we would just stay in the car and make out all night, I had other plans.
"Come on lets start this night,"I said cheerful, getting out the car, and jogging over to her side.
I helped her out, walking her over to a nearby bench near the entrance, so she could sit down. I needed to go and hand over the tickets, so we could enter.
"I'll be right back."I tell her leaning down to give her a small peck on the lips. I jogged to the ticket line, waiting to get back to bella as soon as.
When both our tickets were stamped, I turned back eager to get back to Bella's side. Only when I started approaching her my smile dropped. Stood next to her was the one and only, Jacob fucking Black.
What the fuck was he doing here?
My teeth clean tech as his eyes met mine. You could see the way every muscle in his face changed. He wasn't to pleased to see me here either. Well there's another thing we have in common.
"Jacob."I greeted, my voice motone.
"Edward." He nodded, replying with the same enthusiasm as me. "Bella just remember what I said." He told her.
He backed away, not going in the direction of the parking lot but towards the prom. He has no place to be here. He doesn't even attended this school.
I let out a deep sigh my mouth immediately reacting to get answers.
"What was he doing here?" I spat, the anger coming naturally, as a reactant to Jacob.
"It's just Billy wanting to yet again warn me about you and your family's reputation." Bella reassured me, getting to her feet.
I wish she had nothing to do with any of the people on the res. I would have to stress over Jacob and we would have to worry about the werewolves causing trouble.
"Hey," Bella called, placing her plan on my cheek and moving my head so I looked at her. "Don't worry about them. Let's just have fun, and hope I don't break my other leg trying to dance." She chuckled making me laugh.
"It's all about the leading." I tell her, unable to contain my joy at the thought of having a slow dance with Bella in my arms.
She took a steady breath, a hint of nervousness flashing across her face.
"Well the Sir... Lead the way." She joked raising her elbow.
"Certainly, my lady." I grin, looping my arm with hers. It was a normal action for me, maybe not Bella so much, but most couples here aren't even holding hands.
I help her toward the door, chuckling, as we walk under the arch of white balloons. Even as I look at the gym, it hasn't change much. Some steamers, a disco ball, table with food and drinks, then the dj station. The basketball hoops and paint markings on the floor were still visible though.
There was a sea of students, all whose minds I've been in and I've studied out of boredom. We walk past Angela and Eric both me and Bella grinning at them as the dance.
We do the same when we see Tyler and Lauren. Though Bella's smile was half hearted. I know Lauren envied Bella, as did Jessica, it's pitiful really.
We pass by Jessica and Mike, they were both waving at us and smiling like idiots.
Everyone seemed to be having fun. Dancing around, drinking or just generally talking to one another.
I took a brave move, grabbing Bella's hand in my own then pulling her body flush with mine. I could feel her body fully against me, every curve and bump under my fingertips.
"It feels amazing to have the most beautiful girl in the room." I admitted. My eyes were only for her. She was a glorious woman, and I was blessed to have her.
"This is so cheesy,"Bella chuckled, her head bending down making our eye contact break.
A slow song, under the disco ball, me and Bella in the center of the room, and her arms around my neck and mine on her hips, as we sway to the music. Bella has told me she can't dance anyway, and there's not much she can do with one working leg.
"You could step on my feet if you like?"I told her. She grinned, biting down on her plump bottom lip.
"I would crush you," She warns, but I brush it off.
"No you won't, just step on." I instruct her.
Oh how wrong I was.
She looked down at our feet, making it hard for me to actually see clearly. All I saw was Bellas hair, hanging down in locks.I stayed still, feeling the slight weight of her foot cad in a flat shoe. She pressed down, putting her full weight on my foot. It didnt hurt that bad. A little uncomfortable pich really.
Then she put her foot, wrapped in thick layers of plaster on my other foot.
"Fuck!" I yelped in pain, as a throbbing sensation started at the tips of my toes.
"Oh god, are you okay, Edward?" Bella asked in panic. I grit my teeth, seeping air through my closed teeth, as I held in another cuss. That hurt like a mother fucker. "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have-"
"No,no-" I take a deep breath. "Its fine, I'm fine. Lets just stick to swaying," I say, still trying to ignore how much my foot is throbbing right now.
"Edward, I'm so sorry, we can go sit down if you want?" She offered, her eyes wide with sadness.
"No." I refused. "Its the slow song. Which is now our song... what is this anyway?"I question. Its a nice melody, some good lyrics, but the artist is unknown to me.
"Its by Lifehouse, and it's called You and me. I remember my mum used to listen to this before she met Phil, she would always cry with smile on her face." Bella smiles, her eyes distant.
"Well now this is our song."I tell her, grinning as her eyes meet mine, and we are yet again locked into a spell.
And its you and me and all of the people,
And I dont know why,
I can't keep my eyes off you...
"Its crazy, but I'm actually having fun." Bella admitted, a smile permanently on her face. My heart fluttered as butterflies began to erupt in my stomach. Bella fingertips played with the hair at the nape of my neck.
She seemed so innocent, like she had no idea the effect the simplest touch had on me. she made me feel alive, she made every nerve stand on end.
"I'm having fun to."I grin. I can't restrain myself from leaning down to connect our lips again. So soft, so sweet. Bella seems to stretch up to put more force behind her kiss, and I can feel all the blood in my body rushing to my head. Its like a fire spreading around my body, and making my body tingle in pleasure.
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive...
"Ahem, mind if I step in?" I pull away from Bella's lips, a wide smile on my face, only to be greeted by the one thing that could ruin my mood.
Jacobs grin only widens as he sees the disgust on my face, as I clenched my teeth together, to keep from jumping him and just giving him a taste of his own medicine.
