Or Die Trying

I looked at Alice smugly crossing my arms. "no."

"please Bella if you love me at all.." she put on a pouty face her lip poking out.

"you promised Alice!" I stared at her, her gold eyes fell under her black spiky bangs. She was driving me crazy with all this wedding crap. If she hadn't already noticed I'm already hating this enough. I didn't want to have to do any planning I just want to show up and get it over with, in fact she told me that's all I had to do. So frankly I don't see any reason I should budge and give her any satisfaction.

"but will you just tell me! Peach for the bridesmaids or NOT?!" she growled and looked like she was going to pounce on me.

"NO! I'm not dealing with this Alice!" I put my hands on my hips and frowned heavily. I love Alice to death but she's been frustrating me lately, on a daily bases.

Suddenly I felt calm, I groaned. "Jasper. Cut. It. Out." I whispered slowly. I'm getting tired of his little ability. He was smiling softly his blonde hair falling over his eyes. Despite everything that was going on I was glad to be back in the house. It was sunny this weekend so everyone went hunting, except for me of course. It had been a very long weekend.

Then out of no where I really did feel calm, fully, his freezing arms were around me. "what's wrong with peach, love?" his voice was velvety smooth.

I turned my head towards him I smiled warmly, gazing into his beautiful eyes. There he goes, dazzling me again, such a bad habit, but it's a habit that I don't want him to break. "its not that I hate peach." he kissed my hairline. I sighed.

"then why are you making such a big deal over the dress color, love?"

"Oh, I don't know, why do you always get everything you want?" his face hardened and he frowned. This made me laugh.

"topaz, Alice, silk topaz." I was staring into his eyes, topaz of course, "strapless, too."

Alice danced around me giggling, Edward pulled me close and chuckled darkly.

"of course why hadn't I considered topaz before?! The dresses are going to be completely gorgeous Bella!! Thank you!" she giggled, "I'll give you guys some privacy." she winked at me.

"greatly appreciated Alice." Edward called after her after she skipped away. He pulled me in closer to him.

"you're so devilish, I love it." he whispered. "so why topaz?"

"you're eyes." I commented, "how am I devilish?"

"of course." he smiled, dazzling I can never get used to that gorgeous grin, I exhaled when I saw him tense up. I don't know why breathings such a problem lately for me. "devilish, you are, indeed." he laughed, " Alice hates it that you don't want this wedding. And to be frank so do I."

"what are you going to do about it?" I shot, my eyelashes were fluttering against his cheek. Butterfly kisses, how ironic. I wasn't aware that butterflies kissed angels. I guess its beauty for beauty in this strange world we live in.

He breathed out heavily smiling. "absolutely nothing." he smiled again and kissed me, pulling away in a matter of seconds and he sighed. I sighed too.

Stupid rules, stupid boundaries, why did I want to wait again? Ooh right. Geeze.

"what are you thinking?" I stared at him blankly, it was the 'Alice having a vision' face that I knew he hated. In a way I'm glad that he cant read my thoughts, although he wishes he could.

I laughed darkly trying to keep a straight face moving in closer and closer to him, "about how else I can be," I paused for dramatic effect and moved in a centimeter away from his face. "devilish." now he was the one with the breathing problem. He was so beautiful and I loved it when he did ridiculous things, like forget to breath. Not that it would matter much, he doesn't have to breath. I can't wait until I don't have to worry about silly things like, breathing, anymore.

He chuckled almost too low for me to hear.

"you're so beautiful when you're trying to be devilish." he stressed trying a little too much for my liking.

"trying? Darn! So what I'm not devilish any more?" I pouted trying to keep from laughing.

He laughed louder than necessary, then paused and frowned. "we better go see Charlie he's having hysterias. He thinks you've run away with me, are you aware that it is after midnight."

What?! It was just 5 pm, time sure flied when I was in the arms of an angel. I groaned. "crap. Do we have to? Why not let him flip out for a change." I whined at him.

"Charlie already hates me I don't want to push my luck any farther than I have already."

I grumbled and stayed put stubbornly, not that it changed anything, he picked me up and swung me up to his chest holding me close, "no choice."

"like I ever had one." I grumbled again, although it was hard to say no to him when I was this close to his icy chest. I tried to remember to breath.

He slid me gently into the silver Volvos passenger seat. He slid into the driver seat almost .5 seconds after sliding me in and buckling my seat belt, he started the Volvo. I could feel the engine purr underneath us.
