Summary: One party. One kiss. And one age-old game of Truth or Dare that... well, you'll see. Just like you already can how much I hate writing summaries.

I had always been the nerdy one: big glasses, bag full of books and an overstated passion for drawing.

My sister has always sustained that if I would have ridden of the glasses and lowered a bit my “nerdy percentage”, as she used to call it, I would have had all the women at my feet.

“Ok you can leave your glasses on, it’s fashion nowadays” she once said to me.

but I was simply like this and, for this reason, I was single for a long time. I used to look at the girls by afar never doing the first step: they used to get closer, we talked a bit but then, the famous nerdy percentage came into action and they flew away. Always the same scheme. More or less.

Until I met her.

She never made the first move.

So, in the end, I did it.

Simply I wasn’t prepared to how that move would have changed my world; leaving me…speechless.

A romantic love story where Princess Bella falls for the actor who makes her feel something she never thought she could feel. Torn by the fact that she's the princess of a country and he's Hollywood's new it boy. Will they're new found love be strong enough to survive some of the crazy obstacles that might be thrown at them. Cannon Parings. Rated M for a reason ;)

Born to parents living a rich and glamorous lifestyle, Bella had never felt as if she belonged in their world where life often felt fake and pretentious.

Her journey starts with meeting a handsome stranger, raised to help those in need—and to detest the rich. What happens when he finds out her secret?

Edward was 19.  Bella was 13.  They were next door neighbors.  Charlie was the chief of police.  Carlisle was a doctor at the local hospital. 

Edward’s little sister Alice was also 13 and Bella’s best friend. 

While home from college for the summer, Edward spent time with his little sister and her best friend so their parents could all go out for dinner.

Over the next several years, Edward and Bella became good friends, until the summer she turned 16 when she transformed before his eyes.

AH, ExB, Mostly EPOV, sort of coming-of-age, hopefully a little poignant, with a splash of angst until Bella's at least seventeen.  Mature for language, eventual lemons and a very spunky Bella.

In the process of returning to Forks, Washington, Edward came across a car whose passenger held a familiar, silent mind. Curious by the phenomenon, he followed them and inadvertently witnessed a horrific accident. Compelled by curiosity, Edward found himself immersed in the blood that he'd so desperately tried to shield himself from four years earlier. Overwhelmed by his vampire nature, he allowed the beast within free rein and savored the alluring liquid.

Consumed by the shame of drinking her blood, Edward brought the girl home to his father and hoped Carlisle would save her life, knowing deep in his heart that she was beyond modern medicine. After much deliberation, Edward accepted the inevitable and changed her himself, nearly killing her in the process. With the treaty in shambles and forgiveness hanging in the balance, could Edward forgive himself for imposing such a fate upon a dying girl? Could Bella forgive a vampire who whisked her away from her family and her friends?
