Hey, everyone! This is my first fanfic! It's based on the movie Made of Honor. There's a link on my profile if you want to see the real trailer. I really hope you like it. It's a cute story.
I would like to thank my beta Abi or a.k.a. random.clumsy.vampire. for helping me. Go read her stories too! They're really good!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, and I don't own anything that has to do with the movie Made of Honor.
Ch. 1
Summary: Based on the movie: Made of Honor with Patrick Dempsey. Edward was going to sleep with Tanya but instead got in the wrong bed and found Bella. Bella was Tanya's roommate. She hates him instantly; he is amazed with her, but slowly, she softens up to him. Eight years later, they are still best friends, and she goes on a trip to Scotland for six weeks. While she's there, he realizes that he loves her, so he plans on telling her as soon as she comes back. But when she comes back, she has big news for him: she's engaged, and she wants him to be the maid of honor! Before the wedding, he has to figure out a way for her to love him and not get married. (I will make some very little changes that don't follow the movie)

Halloween Party at Lexington University-2000
I was walking up to our final class Halloween party. Dressed as Bill Clinton, I had a mask on, which was an advantage – Lauren and Jessica wouldn't be all over me. Don't get me wrong, I like those girls, but right now I was supposed to be meeting my current project, Tanya. She said she had a surprise for me, and that I was to meet her in her dorm.
I couldn't wait for tonight….Tanya would be another one of the many girls that I would be with, sleep with, and move on.That's why I'm known as the "player" of the school; some girls ever complained, but some always got hurt when I would leave them.
Making my way up the steps, my sister, Alice, and my brother's girlfriend, Rosalie came up to me and said, "Jasper and Emmett have a message for you, and they wanted us to tell you 'go get 'em.' Honestly, do you men have to be such pigs? Ugh…well, we'll see you later!"
As I made my way up the stairway to Tanya's dorm I saw my sister and my brother's girlfriend walk up to me.
"Hey Alice, hey Rosalie."
"Hey Edward," Alice started. "Jasper and Emmett have message for you, and they wanted us to tell you 'go get 'em.' Honestly, do you men have to be such pigs? Ugh…well, we'll see you later!"
"Thanks, Alice." I responded. As I watched her and Rosalie leave, I couldn't help but wonder at how my little black-haired sister and Rosalie, who had long blonde hair, could have so much knowledge about fashion. Alice had picked out great costumes for Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie. Let me tell you, she loved to shop, which is why she volunteered to choose everyone's costume, but I bought my own costume ahead of time, because she always bought me costumes that I really didn't enjoy wearing.
Anyway, by the time I refocused myself on getting to Tanya, I had reached dorm room number 359. This was it. When I opened the door, I could see a body in bed. I thought Tanya was trying to trick me by "sleeping," so I stripped down to my boxers, hopped on the bed, and said, "Ok, Tanya, time to have the best night of your life!" But, I got no response, so I shook her slightly, and I repeated, "Tanya?"
She groggily responded, "Hmmm?" As she turned around, we both looked at each other and screamed, "Ahhhhh!" We shot out of the bed, and I tried to cover myself with the blanket in front of this stranger. She was definitely not Tanya; this girl had beautiful brown eyes and hair, and full, red lips that I could just kiss. But as she screamed, "What the hell are you doing in here?!" I noticed that she now had a huge bat in front of her.
"Whoa, whoa…I'm just Edward…I thought you were Tanya, but I'm guessing not. Who are you?" I said nervously. She slowly relaxed her grip on the bat, but did not let go of it.
"I'm Bella. Bella Swan. So you were Tanya's date tonight. Figures. Last time I saw her, she had already gone through two beers, and was down by the pool," she said.
But before I could respond, the door opened, and there was Tanya in nothing but underwear and another guy's shirt over her.
"Edward, there you are," she slurred, "I was looking for you."
Bella said, "Well, I don't want to interrupt this little night, so if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get coffee."
"Cool. Now, Edward, come here, baby." said Tanya as she pushed me on the bed.
"Wait, Tanya, no. I, uh, got to go. See you later." I got up and quickly followed Bella out before Tanya could react. She was probably too drunk to process what had just happened. As I walked out into the hallway, I could see Bella making her way to the stairs, "Bella, wait up!" I yelled.
She turned around and sighed, "What do you want?"
I looked at her weirdly, "Wow, can't I just have coffee with you and get to know you?"
"Um, no thanks, I already know who you are. You go through tons of girls every week. I don't need to know anymore than that," she said, turning back around slightly.
"Yeah, I know, but wait. I don't want to pass up an opportunity to have coffee with a beautiful girl," I said as I gently put a hand on her shoulder so she couldn't walk away as easily.
She blushed at my comment, and wow, she looked more beautiful when she blushed. Then she cursed and said quietly, "No, I'm not gonna be one of these girls who gets 'swooned' by Edward Cullen."
I was puzzled, usually girls liked me, but Bella was determined. The more she talked, the more she amazed me. I would have to get her to trust me because I didn't want to ruin this friendship. If she even let me be her friend. So I said to her, "Ok, well, can we at least get to know each other better?" And I have her my dazzling smile, which of course, she blushed at once again.
She hesitated, "Ok…I'll give you a chance, but nothing more. Just friends!
I agreed, "As long as I get to be your friend, I'm fine with that."
So we stayed up talking until Bella realized with wide eyes, "Oh my gosh, it's four in the morning! I should probably get back to my dorm 'cause I have an exam tomorrow."
"Yeah, I'm sorry for keeping you up, but we did learn a lot about each other, other than my 'sleeping record,'" I responded.
She laughed, "Yup. Well, I'll see you around, Edward."
"Okay," I said, but before I could say anything more, she walked back to her dorm leaving me thinking that maybe I could have a girl just be my friend and not use her. I didn't want to mess this up, because I was just gaining her trust and didn't want to ruin that.
