Chapter 2: Is this really necessary?
Alice was already waiting for us, tapping her foot impatiently. "Bella Swan where have you been?" I mumbled something about oversleeping and taking a long shower. "No matter, since I was able to for see this happening, I took care of calling and making sure our caterer was using only the freshest of ingredients for the menu. But we still need to go out and take care of one thing." She flashed Edward a look, I assumed to tell him to stay out of her head. He pulled me into his arms for a hug, "I guess I will leave you girls to it then so you can hurry back to me." He crushed his lips to mine and before I could kiss him back he was up the stairs and into his room.
Alice took my hand and led me out to her Porsche. Once we were both inside, she sped off toward Port Angeles.
"Do you mind telling me where we are going?" I asked her as we approached the mall.
"We are going to get you some proper undergarments for your new married life" Alice smirked. Oh god, this was going to be a long shopping day.
We walked into the store and within five minutes had a massive pile of hot lingerie for me to model for her. Picking out beautiful lacy bras that Edward would appreciate compared to my usual boring ones was the easy part. Even finding some underwear to go with the bras wasn't too bad. The bad part came when I had to find the wedding night outfit.
I walked out of the dressing room feeling very self-conscious in a almost completely see-thru nightie. It was lacy and accentuated my breasts with a deep plunge. Alice didn't like this ensemble so much. She thought Edward be too rough with me after seeing me in it.
We ended up with a corset and lace knickers. While Alice wasn't looking, I went back in and bought the nightie. Edward wouldn't be able to say no to me when he saw me in it.
The drive home seemed to be over as soon as it had begun. Edward was there waiting to whisk me away. "Thanks for the help Alice, I never could have done it without you." Her pixie face lit up with a grin and a wink. Edward cocked his head trying to figure out what we had been doing all day. To distract him I gave him a kiss on the lips. He took the hint, scooping me up in his arms and running us up to his room in a flash.
