Anticipation
I stifled a yawn; as I listened to Alice explain details for tomorrow's big event. I was really starting to regret not having taken that nap. I glanced at the clock, trying to be discreet, I was anxious to see Edward. "Bella, you should go rest." Alice said in a concerned voice. "It's starting to get late." She pointed out, glancing at the wall herself. I was thankful if not relieved she had said this, but I did not want to disappoint her either. "No, tell me ab – Yawn – tomorrow." I said, unsuccessfully hiding the fact I wanted to sleep. With one look at Alice, I knew I really did not have much of a choice in the matter. I uncurled my legs from underneath me, and gingerly got off of the Cullen's couch. "I guess your right, but I don't want to mess this up." I said, in reference to something she had mentioned about shoes. What did she mean she was not sure about what size heel to get me? I thought she knew me well enough, in any shoe falling was likely; in a heel it was inevitable. "If you're still worried about the shoes, don't be. Now go to bed." She advised. Taking her advice, I headed up the stairs, thankful I could at least sleep in Edward's cool and familiar room. I had gotten more accustom to sleeping in the bed Edward had purchased, though tonight I decided I wanted to sleep on the sofa. I was glad he had left it here. Not bothering to grab even a pillow off of the bed, I lay down on the chilled, black leather.
It was dark when I awoke, and I was overcome with heat. I groaned, why was Alice set on having the wedding so early? Seriously, how much time did she need to get me ready? I rolled over, with the intention of both glaring at Alice, and catching a glimpse of the time. The room was dark, and of course my eyes were not adjusted to the light yet. I could see the luminescent green from the clock of Edward's stereo, but I couldn't quite make out the time. "Shh, it's still really early." Came not Alice's voice, but Edward's, whispered into my ear. "Edward!" I said, finding myself in his stone like embrace. "Shh, he said again, though I could tell he was grinning at my reaction, as I softly touched his cheek with my hand. "How was your trip?" I mumbled silently into his shoulder. "Fine, but you should go back to sleep." He told me, still not relinquishing me from his grasp. "Alice is going to kill you if she finds you here." I told him, peaking over his shoulder to see that it was around four in the morning. "She is in the meadow, but your right." He said, loosening his hold on me. "No, don't go, it's to hot in here." I muttered, causing him to laugh. "Seriously, Alice will not be impressed." He reminded me, leaving me seated on the couch. "Edward, wait." I said. "What is it?" he asked, now returned to my side. "I love you." I said simply, smiling. "I love you too." He whispered, kissing my forehead softly. "Now please go back to sleep."
This time when I awoke, Alice was the one to wake me. "Bella, shower now." She practically sang, her voice filled with excitement. Without having so much as a second to groan, or even yawn for that matter, I found myself standing in her washroom. "Thanks Alice." I said, managing to release my yawn. "Now remember Bella, we are on a schedule, you have ten minutes." She informed me. I soon found myself wrapped in a towel, standing inside of Alice's closet. "Do not question me on this please." She said, thrusting a bag into my arms. "You will thank me later." I peered into the bag, blushing the moment I realized what was inside. "Please Bella?" she asked, "Trust me," she said, unable to control a giggle.
It was not long before I was dressed and being ushered into Carlisle's black Mercedes, by an extremely well dressed Emmett. I suddenly had the notion that the Cullen's would successfully upstage me at my own wedding. Unintentionally of course, but still how could they help it, they were beautiful. "Geez Bella," Emmett said teasingly, as he scooped up the train of the dress and tucked it nicely around my feet. I was impressed when it came to shoes, I should never have questioned Alice's judgment. The shoe's hardly had a heel. It was just enough so that my feel wouldn't get to sore standing on them. Alice joined me in the back of the car, dressed in a very elegant bride's maid dress, in a pale blue. Esme was soon to follow, sitting beside Emmett, up front. From what I could see, her dress was also the same shade of blue, though the style seemed different. As Emmett pulled out of the driveway, I turned to Alice, whom I could feel, rearranging bobby pins in my hair. She had done a wonderful job with it, leaving it partially down, and partially up. I had to admit it, Alice always went all out.
For that reason, when we got to the meadow, I should have been able to contain my surprise. It was amazing. The tree's that surrounded the clearing had lovely crystal ornaments hung on the branches, reflecting rainbows of lights. At this realization, I glanced at the sky, letting out a sigh of relief when I realized it was overcast out. I was soon greeted by Carlisle, who too, looked excellent in a tux. He was ushering Charlie over towards us. Within merely seconds, it was silent, and I was standing under a marquee with Charlie, unable to see anything around me, as the marquee had fabric coming down from each of the walls. I heard the music start, and though my excitement I wondered who was playing the piano. Snapping back to reality, I realized within a few seconds, I would be walking down the aisle. "Bella." Charlie said, taking my hand. "Are you ready?" he asked giving it a squeeze. Without hesitation, I gave him a hug, taking a deep breath. So many things were rushing through my head at that moment. "I'm ready." I said, allowing him to take my arm in his. He pushed the curtain out of our way, and as I reminded myself to breath, we were walking, the piano playing in the background.
I was determined not to trip, nor to look around. Keeping focused on not falling, I clutched onto Charlie a little tighter. When I looked up, I nearly gasped. There was Jasper as best man, Alice as maid of honour, Rosalie at the piano, Emmett as priest or whatever he was, and Edward, smiling at me his amber eyes sparkling. Edward took a step towards us, causing my heart to nearly skip a beat. Charlie seemed awestricken. He dutifully handed me to Edward, "You take care of her now." He said, wiping a tear from his cheek, and taking his place beside Phil and Renee, who were also smiling at me. Edward led me to my place, holding my hand still. I looked into his face, and warmth spread through me. This felt right. His eyes were shinning into mine. How could he say he didn't have a soul?
