A/N: So, this is only my second story and my first Twilight one. I'm just gonna wing it and see where it goes.
BPOV
Alice had been my best friend for thirteen years. And in two months, she would be marrying my brother. It was a little strange.
"Bella," Alice whined, "There is so much to do. So much organizing to take care of. I'm never going to get it all done!"
"Alice. Calm down. Its two months away. You have plenty of time. I mean you only got engaged last week; you didn't have to pick a date so close to now. Especially with your expectations of a wedding," I rationalized. This girl was the best party planner I know. There was no way she was going to screw this one up, not her own wedding.
"Bella, you have to help me, you just have to," Alice pleaded. Her eyes looked so sad that I couldn't say no. But I did prefer to stay out of the way when it came to party plans. And that's what this was for Alice, a really important and special party.
"What's a maid of honor for?" I sighed.
"Thank you, thank you, and thank you!" Alice squealed and gave me a tight hug. I smiled; I liked to see Alice happy. It made me happy.
"Okay, so I figure the easiest part has to be the line-up for walking down the aisle, right? Jasper already told me who was going to be on his side and I know my girls so this is simple." Wow, I didn't realize she would start now.
"Okay… Who are the rest your bridesmaids?" I asked hesitantly.
"Well there is you, of course. Then there is Rosalie, Angela and Jessica. And then for Jasper, we have his best man Edward; I don't think you've met him yet. Then we have Emmett, Mike and Ben. I think we should but Rose with Mike, Ang with Em and Jess with Ben. What do you think?" Alice asked as she pulled out a pen and binder labeled WEDDING in big letters across the front.
"I don't know, I mean I think Jess has always had a thing for Mike so maybe if you put them together, they'll hit it off," I said, considering.
"But then Rose would have to be with Ben and he is way too short," Alice replied, tapping her pen against her lower lip.
"Well, put Rose with Em, they may hate each other but Emmett is just the right height. Mike with Jess and Angie with Ben."
"That… just might work!" Alice squealed, scribbled away. I laughed and sipped my warm hot chocolate.
I had agreed to meet Alice here a few days ago because she had some news to tell me, which happened to be that I was the maid of honor at her and my brother's wedding. We were in our favorite coffee joint, although neither of us really liked coffee. I settled for hot chocolate while Alice drank her tea. It was quiet here and that's what we loved about it.
"What about colors? I was thinking pink and silver? Too cliché?" Alice went on, mumbling mostly to herself.
"I don't know I think it would be pretty," I smiled at her; she was franticly scribbling like no tomorrow. That's another thing about Alice, when she wants to do something, she gets it done. As soon as humanly possible.
"Alice, you have two months. You don't have to do it all now," I reminded her.
Alice sighed, "I know." She put her pen down and looked at me, her face content. I could tell she was truly happy with my brother.
"Anyway," Alice put her moment of contentment aside, "I was thinking we could all have dinner together. Me, you, Jasper and Edward. That way, you and Jaz can catch up, we can go over wedding plans and you can meet Edward. Who knows, maybe you two will hit it off."
"Oh, Alice. Please," I rolled my eyes; she was forever trying to set me up with men I had no interest in. And this Edward guy would be the same as all the others.
"Come on Bella, give him a chance. You haven't even met him yet," Alice crossed her arms and pouted.
"Let me guess," I raised my eyebrows, "He's taller than me, strong, well-built, a gentleman, with dark hair. Oh, and eternally boring like all the rest. Am I right?"
"Not fair," Alice complained, "It's not hard to be taller than you, Bella."
I rolled my eyes, "So not the point. And look at you shrimpy, you're not one to talk."
Alice laughed and stuck her tongue out at me, "But seriously, come over tonight. Edward has his ass permanently glued to our couch because of Jazzy's new Xbox, so he'll already be there. Seven, k?"
"Oh, Alice," I whined, I wanted to spend my night watching reruns of Gilmore Girls and eating my favorite, Smores ice cream, by Ben and Jerry's. Ben and Jerry were two men in my life that were very important to me. Wow, I'm pathetic.
"I'll see you then, love," Alice smiled as she gathered her things, and picked up the remainder of her tea. She waved as she scampered out to her car.
I Sighed, oh Alice. What to do with her sometimes. I picked up my hot chocolate cup and threw it out on the way out the door. I ran to my car as it was cold outside.
As I headed home, I started thinking about this Edward. Why hadn't I met him before? I mean if him and Jazz were such great friends, why had we never been introduced? What is his story? Why does Alice seem to think he's so special? Oh, who am I kidding? Alice thinks every guy is special as long as she can convince me to go out with him. Oh, Alice.
I got home and hopped in the shower, preparing for the dinner tonight. I knew at Alice and Jasper's it was nothing too fancy but I didn't want to look like I just rolled out of bed.
I let my hair fall in loose chestnut curls, I was thinking about highlights but that was yet to be decided. I put on light make-up, a pair of nice, dark jeans and a flowy white top. To top it off I wore my signature black high-heeled boots. They were cue in a biker-chic sort of way but never slutty enough to be called a slut. They always seemed to get a guy's attention.
I picked up desert, simple frosted cupcakes on my way and pulled up just a few minutes after seven. Alice was going to kill me, even if it was only 7:03.
"Bella!" Alice called from the kitchen when Jasper answered the door. Jasper and I exchanged the typical brother-sister hug, he would complement the haircut I didn't get and I would tell him how great he looked with all the exorcise he wasn't getting.
I walked into the kitchen and gave Alice a hug before setting down the cupcakes.
"You didn't have to bring anything! But thanks so much," She smiled and I returned it. I stirred the pasta as she picked apart the lettuce for the salad.
"You look a little extra cute tonight; maybe you'd have a better impression if you showed up on time!" Alice scolded.
"Oh please, I was 3 minutes late."
"Four actually," Came a soft velvety voice from behind me.
Here comes the moment of truth.
So! R&R if you want more, if I don't get a response I'm not gonna bother continuing! Let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for me! Hope you like it!
