Chapter 01
My eyes slithered away from Alice who was conveniently sitting between me and the large wooden doorframe behind her. That was my only escape. Her mouth had continually moved as those pixie lips conveyed words so fast. Something along the lines of my wedding theme, guest list and other things along those lines, but now I just wanted to see Edward's face. Why did he have to go right now? Her hands delicately gripped a thick ivory paper. I can't believe it. My wedding is the three days away?
"…Alice?" I looked to her golden eyes as she caught me gaze and I knew she could feel the tension in my voice. Now Alice stopped her rambling and put down the stack of papers –those seemed thicker then she was at the moment- and looked directly at me. She was using her gaze like Edward did when he wanted to know what was wrong.
"Bella… Is anything wrong?" Her eyes winced as she looked at me and she lowered her tone. Maybe she thought I was going to back out? I shook my head and she began to speak again, but now I started to pay some attention.
"Okay… so the theme for your wedding will be historical of course." Alice let out a giggle as she began to explain more about the guest list and things about the wedding. She finally stopped and took a deep breath. "So here is the hard part! We get to do your makeup, hair and everything else!" She seemed very excited and knew seemed to know how to do all of this. But who was 'we?'
"Who is 'we' Alice?" My voiced peaked with the slightest bit of curiosity as I tipped my chair back and forth. The wooden trimmings in the chair were cold against my fingers as I pressed them down onto the edges of the seat.
"Me and Rosey of course!" She let out a huge grin, but hid her razor sharp teeth behind the absolutely bright smile. And that smirk was plastered onto her face as we continued planning. Though I wished Edward was here. But they were out getting ready and hunting some more. But more for Jasper, just incase… My eyes were glued onto the guest list. It was awkwardly short for Alice who liked inviting everyone I possibly knew. It read:
Guest List:
All of the Cullen Family
Angela Webber and her family
Jessica Stanley and her family
Mike Newton and his family
Renee
Charlie
Billy
Phil
Tyler Crowley and his family
Jacob
My mind was stuck on the last name. Jacob? I didn't invite him… that list included some of the other werewolves but I stopped at Jacob.
"Alice when did you make this list? Who invited Jacob?" Alice looked directly up at me and the answer couldn't be any clearer. "It was Edward wasn't it? Well whatever… Let's get this done with, okay?" She went over a couple more plans and finally got up and pulled my arm with her, instantaneously picking me up. It was awkward since she was much smaller, but then again she was a vampire. The word stuck itself in my mind. Vampire…
"Okay so tomorrow night the guys will be coming back for a couple hours and then will be out again. Then the next day is the wedding in the afternoon, okay? You'll have to wake up earlier since we need to get ready and Charlie already knows you'll be staying here. He agreed to the marriage… that was surprising." Alice let out a sigh as she saw unenthusiastic I was about this. How could I be enthusiastic? Edward wasn't here, I've been planning all day, I've hadn't had a moment to myself, the marriage was in two days and lastly I did not want to end up like Renee. So the marriage was the last thing on my mind.
"Yeah… okay sure." I was already halfway out the door before she muttered something about me being nervous or something. Who knew? I retreated to my room –well Edward's room, but soon to be mine- evading the watchful gaze of Carlisle or Esme. I continued down the hallway on the second floor. Its walls were covered in portraits of the family and every single one of them. If a picture of me were up there I wouldn't fit. Well not yet… My feet treaded against the regal looking rug. The house around me seemed to be swallowing me up inside. But before I knew it I was back in Edward's room and on the bed and stretching. Gold fabric surrounded metal flowers and me and soon enough slumber. Planning weddings was surely tiring.
"Bella love?" His cold slender fingers brushed my hair out of my face. It left a warm tingling sensation under my skin, even though I knew he was as possibly as cold as a block of ice.
"Edward?" I opened up my eyes to meet his. Again he stroked my hair and slowly leaned in and lightly kissed me. Now I was half way up when he caught me and I suddenly stopped leaving me in that position. I completely shut down at his touch. He pulled away after a few seconds and picked me up.
"Here we have to get you some breakfast. You are still human." He gave a low chuckle and helped me up. Edward asked the trivial questions and I answered as we walked downstairs.
"So how was yesterday?" I asked as we reached the kitchen, it was just another prop as was all the food. He grabbed my hand and wrapped it inside of his. Cold like normal, but he made me warm.
"Hm. The usual. Hunting wasn't very necessary. Jasper did need it though. We don't want what happened on your birthday happen at our wedding would we?" Again he gave himself a satisfied chuckle. He looked over and brushed my forehead with his red lips. But I did ignore this as I was offended by his comment. He didn't have to bring it up did he? It was just a paper cut! "Aw Bella. You are just so cute when you pout." He smiled softly revealing his absolutely white teeth behind those crimson red lips. "Here…" He handed me a bowl of cereal and set me down at the granite countertop at the center of the unused kitchen.
"Why do you have this? You don't even have to 'eat.'" Edward pulled the seat out for me and I sat down and started the cereal. After he explained why -I was right about why- he said he had to head out again. "Do you have to go?" I gave him a look that I knew he couldn't resist. Besides that I would have to sit with Alice all day and do some more planning about the wedding.
"Yes…" He stated slowly. "Anyways I need to get ready. Don't worry I'll be back." Again he kissed my forehead and left. For the next couple minutes that seemed like hours into his absence I still sat and ate what ever was left of my breakfast.
