Alice led us both home and handed us both a bag that was used for special occasions like a wedding.
'Go to your rooms and put these on. No. Questions. Asked.'

'Yes Alice' we both said at the same time.

We raced to our own rooms on the top floor. I walked into the walk in wardrobe to get changed. I took out the dress that was in the bag.

It was a V-neck, knee high dress in midnight blue with some lighter coloured bits of blue as the stars. The dress fitted perfectly. In the bag it had some black wedge heels inside, so I put on black tights under the dress and put on the shoes. I put some of the front of my hair into a bunch on the back of my head like Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

I grabbed the matching blue bag and out on a bit of lipstick in deep red and a taupe colour tattoo for my eyes with gold eyeshadow on the lid. I placed them in the bag with my phone, my credit card and a few notes of money.

Alice came in to inspect my work and she was pleased. She dragged me down the stairs to the second floor to tell me to wait for a few seconds and then for me walk down, thus creating a dramatic scene.

I walked down the stairs and all of the men's jaws dropped. I rolled my eyes to them.

I looked at the clothing they wore. All of the men had on a waist coat, matching trousers, ties, suit jackets and handkerchiefs to match with their mates. Emmett and Rosalie were in black, Carlisle and Esme in light grey, Alice and Jasper in dark grey, leaving Edward and myself to be in midnight blue.

Once I reached the bottom of the stairs Edward walked up at me holding his arm out for me asking like a gentleman he was 'Ms Cullen, will you accompany me to where we are heading?'

I smiled at him and placed my arm in his 'It would be an honour to accompany you, Mr Cullen'

Everyone walked out of the house and Edward led me to his Vanquish he held the door open for me and closed it behind me.

The others where thinking about how cute we looked together and how we should go on a date. Knowing Edward, he would push those thoughts away and not care about what they thought. I was right.

We reached the place and it reminded me of the Roaring Twenties. Fancy clothing, live music, a bar and, a modern added extra, a karaoke machine.

We all spit from the group in our couples. Me and Edward started to dance together with one of our hands holding and the other -for me- around his shoulder -and for him- around my waist.

Neither of us wanted to let go from the position we where in when a man who works at the bar come up to me and taps me on the shoulder asking to talk to me.

I agree to follow him but before I did I hugged Edward, telling him to listen out to the conversation and that I'll be back in a moment.

The man asks me to sing as the leading singer got a sore throat. I agreed to sing and he gave me a list of songs they performed as the karaoke machine showed the lyrics.

I chose Lana Del Ray's song Young and Beautiful. Because it set the mood of the 20's very well in the bar.

I allowed the performers to get ready and they started to play.

I started to sing.

Everyone in my family heard it was me singing and knew what the conversation was between me and the bar man.

They thought how I should consider a job as a singer but Carlisle thought about how he wanted me and Edward to be happy together.

Once the song was over I hugged Edward again. And hugged Carlisle.

He thought be happy. Directed towards me yet Edward heard as well.
The rest of the night continued and at the last song me and Edward just held on in a long embrace.

We all walked out and Edward led me to his vanquish and as before he held the door open for me and closed it as well.

On the journey back home the electric current going through us never left but it intensified slightly.

We got home and we looked at another in the eyes. We leaned in, but when we were two inches away Emmett got involved and started to take the Mick out of Edward and myself.

We leaned away and walked up to our own rooms to distance from Emmett as we didn't like him taking the Mick out of us. I changed out of the dress, tights and heels into a top with socks and leggings.

I leaned against the sofa/couch, putting on a film, thinking what would happen if me and Edward did kiss at that point.

Just as I thought about that, someone knocked on the door.
