Chapter Fifteen

I smiled happily after I fixed Bella's hair to frame her face. She was beautiful, I honestly can't believe she let Theo talk her into going to prom. She was always against school dances since she couldn't dance.

"You look beautiful." I say in awe. "I can't believe we're going to prom."

"I know." Bella grinned with a blush. "You're beautiful too."

"You ready?" I asked her.

She took a deep breath nodding while holding out her hand. I smiled taking it leading her out of my room and down the stairs. Dad stood leaning against railing while Edward and Theo had been fake drinking water. Once Bella and I got to the bottom of the steps dad smiled at us.

"Alice lent me the dress." Bella says nervously. "Couldn't do anything about the boot."

"You look beautiful." Theo smiled at her. "I'll take good care of her chief."

"I heard that one before." Dad grunted as Bella and Theo went to leave.

I laughed slightly at dad stopping her to tell her about the new can of pepper spray. Edward gave me a bright grin along with dad.

"You're gorgeous." Edward breathed taking my hand in his helping me down the stairs fully. 

"You do, but don't you think that's a little showy?" He asked clearing his throat while waving his hand over his chest.

"Daddy." I laughed. "I'll be fine, Eddie's a gentleman."

I gave dad a hug when I got close enough. 

"I trust him." Dad says. "You seem to really be into him."

"I am." I sighed. "I honestly think he may be it for me." 

"Just remember, don't rush into things." He says sternly. "Now, you both have a great night."

Edward lead me to my car. I grinned as he helped me into the passenger seat before climbing into the drivers seat.

"Your dad was thinking of making you wear a turtle neck under your dress." He laughed. "And sending Bella to an all girls school."

I let out loud laugh at that before I leaned over kissing his cheek.

"I love you." 

"I love you." He smiled pulling out of the driveway.

Edward pulled in front of Bella on a bench. 

"Theo's talking to Alice," he explained. "She saw something he wanted to be sure of, why don't you keep Bella company why I park the car."

"Okay." I nodded kissing him before climbing out of the car. 

I walked over and sat down beside Bella who grinned at me. I give her a side hug while crossing my legs. 

"Bella, Coco." I turned to the sound of Jake's voice. 

He walked out of the woods wearing dress pants, white button up and a loose tie.

"Jake!" I grinned at him as he sat down with us.

"What are you doing?" Bella grinned. "Are you crashing my prom."

"No." Dad chuckled. "My dad paid me to tell you girls something forty bucks, don't be mad okay?"

"Go ahead." I laughed.

"He says and I quote, 'we'll be watching.'" Jake says. "And to break up with your boyfriends."

"Well, tell him we said thanks." Bella says awkardly as I gave him a hardened look.

"And to pay up." I added.

Jake nodded as Edward and Theo walked up. He stood to help Bella up while I grabbed Edward's hand standing up.

"I got it Jacob." Theo snapped at him.

I giggle at the scared look Jake gave him backing up. Theo helped his girlfriend up before we four walked toward the prom. We stopped to get our photo taken. One was a group photo and the other was just solo photos of each of us.

I smiled up at Edward as we danced in a small circle in the gazebo. Bella and Theo were also there dancing too. Edward smiled down at me as I laid my head on his chest.

"I've never felt so loved before I met you." I whispered. "Eddie, I want to be with you forever."

"Can you live a while longer until I change you?" He asked gently.

I leaned back and smiled at him. "It's up to you." I say. "How about a bit after graduation."

"I can agree on that." He says before leaning into to kiss me.
