Bella

I had to admit that i was nervous. I had woken up hours before and had sat here for at least an hour straight. It was now 6 o'clock! Mike would be here soon and i wasn't even ready! I had to get a move on. I showered and shaved every place i could think of. I then slipped my dress over my body and adjusted it. I had to admit that i looked very beautiful in this dress. It complimented all my curves. I was used to wearing baggy clothes that hid everything. Here in this dress, i was nothing but beauty.

Maybe all these boys there tonight will regret not asking me after they see me in this dress.

I looked stunning. I slipped on my heels and practiced walking around in them. It wasn't as difficult as i had originally thought. I sat at my desk and peered into the mirror. What was i going to do with my hair? My mom had a curling iron and a quick look at you tube showed me how to do it. After an hour of curling and hair spraying i finally had it down. It was hard to believe that this hair was my own. It was thick and curly. It had a life of its own. My hair was long but i usually had to up. I was surprised at how beautiful it could be.

Next was my make up. I had looked in my mom's fashion magazines for something i liked. I was going to go elegant but sexy. I used my eye liner and drew lines on the bottom and top of each lid. Then i added a little curve at the end of the top for flair. Then came the white and blue eye shadow on top. I added just a little lip gloss to my lips and stepped back.

I almost didn't recognize myself! I looked absolutely stunning! My hair was beautiful and cascaded down my back. My eyes screamed desire. I sat there and stared at myself until i heard the door bell ring.

Crap.

I ran for my door and walked as quickly as i could down the steps. My dad was out in the garage and my mom was out. Hopefully Mike didn't expect to meet my parents. I took a deep breath and steadied my nerves. I opened the door with a smile.

The look on Mike's face when he seen me caused me to laugh. His eyes were huge as he took in my form. I swear no one has ever seen my cleavage before and this dress showed it modestly. Mike's face went beat red. He looked very nice in his tuxedo i had to admit. We would suit each over very nicely.

"You look very pretty Bella." Mike said, his voice coming out uneven.

I laughed, "As do you Mike."

He made to step inside the house, i put my arm up and stopped him.

"Listen, my parents aren't like normal parents. They aren't here waiting with a camera to capture the joyous moment." i say trying to make him understand. He apparently does right away.

"Oh, well i guess we can just get going then. Were going to meet the rest of the group outside." he says. His eyes still wide. Sheesh, its like he never seen a girl before.

"Okay, is it going to be the usual?" i ask. I took his arm and he led me to his mom's car.

"Yeah, Ben is with Angela, Eric went with some girl from his science class, Lauren is with Tyler, and the others have dates they said."

"Well we shall have a fun night then." i say smiling. Mike turns to me and smiles. I was so happy at this moment. Mike opened the car door and i got inside. I was actually going to prom! I had never been asked to any of the dances in the other grades. Prom was important in this moment. I probably wouldn't even care about this when i was older. But for now, it was a glorious moment.

Mike chatted uneasily the whole time in the car on the way there. His eyes kept darting to my face, down my chest, and to my legs. I had to admit that i never dressed like this in school. I always wore jeans and i couldn't blame the poor kid. He probably didn't even know i had legs! My attire usually consisted of a t-shirt and jeans. I never wore skirts or shorts so he probably never even thought about the fact that i have legs just like any other girl. It was actually making me giddy. I looked very nice and i was glad of that fact.

We pulled up to the entrance of the school only to be stopped by traffic. Every car in all of Forks was here tonight. It would take us some time to find a parking space. Mike carefully maneuvered through the throng of people and slid next to a truck. I was just glad that we had actually found a spot. I opened the door and got out. My dress billowing in the soft wind. I had never felt as beautiful as i did now.

I linked my arm with Mike's and walked toward the entrance to the gym building. It was a modest size and i loved the decorations. They had made crepe banners that hung over the trees. Paper lanterns hung from the branches. The path way toward the gym was littered in confetti. They had done a beautiful job.

Mike was smiling ear to ear the entire time. I actually felt good standing next to him. I felt good having a date at all. We stepped up to the line waiting for admission into the gym. Couples signed their names on cards, kind of like a remembrance thing. When it was our turn we stepped up and Mike wrote his large and proud, i wrote mine under small. The chaperon was Mrs. Miley, the school secretary, she smiled at me and Mike.

"Don't you guys look lovely. Its so nice to see you Bella." she said. I smiled and thanked her. She took the card back from us and we walked past into the gym's main doors. I really had to thank the art department for the wonderful job they had done. There was no theme for the prom this year. It was simply done in colors of blue, pink, and gold. There was streamers draped across the ceilings and confetti everywhere. There was a DJ somewhere in the vicinity playing actual cool music. Tables were set up along the wall and the dance floor was already crowded with people. We apparently weren't the only ones who had come early.

Mike quickly spotted the group and we walked over to them. When they all seen us, they all seemed taken back. I actually felt a blush creep up my cheeks. Was it really so surprising that i looked pretty tonight? Angela came over and gave me a quick hug.

"Bella you look so beautiful!" she gushed to me. She was wearing a pretty yellow dress that complimented her hair.

"You do too, Ange." i replied just as cheerful.

"My my Bella, i wasn't even sure you had legs." Tyler said, coming over with a smile.

"Thanks Tyler." i grumble. He laughs and i start to laugh. Mike lets go of my arm and motions for us to find a table. I sit down Mike on my left, and Angela on the right. I looked around the group. We had two tables full of just our friends. Lauren and Tyler were at the other table, which suited me fine. So many people here just laughing and having a good time. I could see and feel the mood in the air. I could tell this was going to be a good night.

I chatted with Mike and Angela for part of the night. We were waiting apparently til the music started to pick up. The crowd kept getting thicker and thicker as the time progressed. I was enjoying myself a little too much. I had to use the restroom so i excused myself and went towards the rear entrance. The bathroom was set in the back by the doors.

I walked slowly and couldn't keep myself from smiling. I smiled so much my face was beginning to hurt. My smile dropped when i seen his face.

He walked in with Rosalie's small frame on his arm. His green eyes flashed under the low lights. His suit was a deep black, apparently Rosalie had gotten her wish, he had a pink jacket underneath. His hair was gelled to the front. I swear i had never seen him so handsome. I halted in my steps, and for that reason is why i'm sure he seen me. I was the only non moving person around. Everyone else was walking, talking, and giggling. I was completely stationary like a dear in headlights.

His eyes found mine and it was almost like i was hit by a truck. His eyes looked into mine, then slowly went down my dress and took in all of me. A blush was creeping up my face. I could see a thousand emotions in his eyes. Desire was one of them. I felt myself coming back into control. I was no longer a deer in headlights. I blushed madly as i walked hurriedly to the bathroom. His gaze had unsettled me.

Edward

I saw her, her blue dress almost white in the light. Her hair cascading over her shoulders. Her face, so beautiful it hurt. Bella looked absolutely stunning. The dress she wore clung to her in a way that i never would have imagined. Her make up outlined her already beautiful eyes. She didn't look like the Bella i had known. The Bella i knew always wore jeans and a hoodie. I had never seen her show her legs and i was almost saddened by that after seeing them tonight. That girl was gorgeous. She wasn't no size 2 and she didn't have a model figure, but by hell if anyone can say she wasn't sexy.

She had chosen well tonight. I almost lost myself in her eyes. She had caught me unaware. It wasn't like i didn't think she would be here, i knew she was going to be here. I just didn't think she would look that beautiful, that irresistible...

I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I had slept with woman before. I hadn't been with anyone since the accident. I had steered clear of woman since then. There was just something in Bella that made me think of those things. It was starting to get so chokingly hot in this building. I tugged at my collar around my neck.

Rosalie clung to me like a choking vine. She pressed her chest into me at any moment she could. I didn't know if she thought that she was getting 'some' tonight or what, but it wasn't from me. I was regretting even bringing her in the first place. She looked pretty in her pink dress but she was screaming sex appeal. Why didn't woman understand that the sexiest thing a girl can do is be a little mysterious? Bella's dress showed just enough to make my imagination go wild. Rosalie left nothing for my imagination.

I led Rosalie over to her friends and left her. I walked over to mine, they were standing close enough to Rosalie's group that it wasn't like i ditched her. Not that i really cared. Rosalie and i hung out with the same crowd, the popular crowd. I didn't really care about anything but catching another glimpse of Bella. I watched in the direction i seen her going. I didn't even try and attempt at a conversation with my friends.

I seen her a few moments later. Her curvy form moving through the crowds. My heart lurched in my chest at the sight of her. I was let down when i seen where she went. She sat down with her friends and right next to Mike.

Damn that kid!

What i would do to switch places with him right now. Let him have this witch, i thought looking at Rosalie. She was about as interesting as paint drying. I was already starting to wish that i never asked her. It had been an impulse kind of thing. I hadn't thought that Bella would even go to prom, i didn't think she was that kind of girl. She seemed more of the laid back than the party girl. She had surprised me tonight, showing up as finely as she did. I needed to calm down before i lost it.

I turned to my friend Derek and struck up a conversation. Tonight was going to be a long night. I had a few hours of summoning my courage to just go over there and speak to her. Would she even welcome an advance such as that? Would tonight even matter? I didn't care. I had to say something or else my mind would just explode. That girl was inside my mind and there was nothing i could do to get her out.

I was trying to get my mind off of her when i felt a tug at my arm. A pink manicured hand was clutching at me.

"Are we going to dance Edward?" Rosalie asked.

Might as well

"Sure." i replied, not too enthusiastically.

She gave me a sour look and took my hand. I let her lead me onto the dance floor. It was a high tempo song and she was grinding on me before i could even move. I tried my best to dance back, but after a few moments i realized i just couldn't do it. Her limbs were rubbing on me and i probably was the only guy in Forks to say, i didn't like it. I didn't want her dancing this close to me. It was an hour in, and already i was ready to leave. I was with the wrong girl.

I tried my hardest to remain calm and just dance with her. The song changed into a slow song and that's when i really lost it. Rosalie took my arms and wrapped them around herself. I looked around me and i seen her. Bella with Mike's hands on her waist. I couldn't stop the anger at that sight.

How dare he touch her?

I wanted to go over there and just knock him out. I couldn't help these troubling thoughts that came pouring into my head. I didn't like the even thought of his hands touching on her body, anywhere! I looked down at Rosalie and her attempt at being sexy. It just made me sick. I felt sorry for this girl. She could grind on me all day and nothing would change. I didn't have any feelings for her at all. I didn't want her at all. I took her arms and pulled them off of me. Her eyes were incredulous as i stepped back.

"I'm sorry Rosalie. It's just not working." i say softly.

"What do you mean? How is it not working? Are you gay or something!" she shrieks into my face. I wasn't even really paying attention. My attention was consumed by trying to find Bella in the crowd. Rosalie snapped me out of it. She grabbed me and pulled me close.

"Listen, after the dance i will let you do anything you want. Anything..." she tries whispering into my ear. I recoil from her and cant help myself.

"That's definitely not what i want to be doing." i say to her.

Her face scrunches up as if shes having a hard time thinking. Which she probably is. I knew i was being mean to her, but she was a mean girl herself. She didn't care about me and i didn't care about her. There was no point in trying to fake anything tonight. I was not going to take her home and 'do' her and send her on her way. That was not how i did things. Not anymore anyway. She wanted a night of no regrets and that's not what i had for her. I left her there in the crowd. My eyes searching for the only girl that mattered.

I found her after a few moments of searching. Mike was closer to her than he had been before. His hands were low on her hips. I tried to be calm as i walked toward her, i tried to think rational, but rational wasn't my strong suit. I didn't even hesitate. I walked right up to her, pushed an incredulous Mike back, and took her into my arms. Her body felt right under my hands, and in this moment i didn't even think. I didn't need to think.

Her eyes were wide and she looked shocked, but i didn't care. I wrapped one arm around her body and the other hand i grabbed her chin with my fingers. I leaned into her and pressed my lips against hers. I heard silence as i kissed her. The whole gym was silent for this one second in time. I didn't care that a thousand eyes were upon us. I didn't care that her date was probably mad as hell behind us. All i could feel was her lips against mine, her body pressed into mine, and that was all that mattered. I didn't care about anything but us in that moment. And that moment was perfect.
