I am Bella Cullen
I do not own any of the characters in the twilight series. Enjoy!
The night before the wedding.
It was Saturday and I was outside my house, waiting for Alice to take me last minute shopping. I saw the bright yellow 911 turbo speed onto our drive way. Alice and Esme, sparkling with rainbows, slid out of the jazzy car gracefully.
"Bella!" Alice sang as she pulled me into a tight hug. She released me after a long few seconds. "I can't believe that tomorrow is the wedding." She flashed a bewildering smile. "You are going to love it. I designed Edward's attire myself." I had an Anna of Green Gables flash back.
"Thank you, Alice." I was still not ready for matrimony. I thought of the day Edward and I told Charlie about our extravagant plans.
"Charlie? I mean…dad. We have something we'd like to share with you." My voice was anxious of how he would react when I said what I had to say. "And you told me that I would tell you beforehand when something big should happen. So…" Charlie looked suspicious and worried by now. His eyes were bugged and his brow was furrowed.
"Ahem." Edward interrupted. "Charlie, I would just like to say that I think that this decision Bella and I have come to is best for both me and her." Charlie had a huge range of emotions flickering across his wrinkled face. "Go on, Bella." Edward had said encouragingly. I wished there was nothing to encourage.
"Dad." I paused. Charlie looked at me with question. Edward lifted my hand to show him. "Edward and I are…engaged."
"Bella? Are you okay, honey?" Esme was at my side in an instant, interrupting my flashback, her skin blinding me. I nodded, incoherent. We had told Renee the next morning after we informed Charlie. Who knew you could fit so many curses into a five minute phone conversation. She had said that it was too much for me at once. I know how much I could handle. And so did Edward.
Edward.
I looked up in terror. I realized that I had no idea where he was. I looked at Alice and she met my gaze with molten gold. She nodded, understandingly.
"Edward is fine, Bella. He's out hunting with Emmett and Jasper. They will be back in exactly three hours and twenty-one minutes." She flashed a brilliant smile. This smile made her perfect image complete. Her skin was sparkling and her spiky hair was flattering to her perfect, heart-shaped face.
"So." She said. "Shall we go shopping?" I forced a grin. Alice was fooled and she turned on a heel to the car. She skipped with the fluency of a ballet dancer, and with more grace. She was so happy. I sighed and followed her. Alice and her shopping.
It was much cooler in the car, mostly because there were always vampires sliding in and out of it. I suppressed a chuckle.
"Err, Alice?" She looked back at me from the front seat. We were already speeding down the dusty road over the speed limit. No surprise there.
"What exactly are we buying?" She smiled slyly. I groaned.
I hate surprises.
