EPOV

So arriving at the airport had been interesting. I have traveled all over the world with my music.,but New Orleans was a different world all together. I just finished up a weeks long workshop in New York for under privileged kids. Emmett and Dad were coming to get me,then we were meeting up with family at the Plantation . I missed my family a lot and was starting to think about taking a job, that was recently offered to me at a high school in Washington. I loved traveling the world but it was just something about home that sticks with you and makes you long to be back there. I missed my crazy brothers and now Emmett is getting married and that leaves just me and Jaz.

"EDWARD" Emmett's voice bellowed across the airport

"Hey man" I shook his hand

"Hello son" Carlisle spoke taking me into a one armed hug.

"Hey Dad , how is mom?"

" Oh you know her, wrapping herself in the wedding"

we all laughed

"well Eddie, lets get out of here, I'm starved." Emmett said

It was a long ride to the plantation. But the road was gorgeous and very picturesque. Something you would see on a poster card.

"So Em, how is it your having your wedding in Louisiana?"

"well Rose's family own this place, it's where she grew up and she said that when she was little they would allow people to have weddings there. She said she dreamed of always have her wedding here. And to tell you the truth man , I can tell this women no." He smiled at me with his cheesiest grin and I laughed.

" Well I am happy for you man."

It was then I realized that I envied him so much, I wished I had that kind of absolute feeling. Like you knew that this women was everything you wanted and there was nothing that meant more. Sure I had women in my life, but they were easy to walk away from. I would just use the excuse that I was a career man and my music came first. They were face less and nameless to me. Nervously I rubbed my hand threw my hair, it was my tell and it seems that my father knew that.

"Edward, I know that you are busy with your music and you have made your mother and I so very proud of you. But I was wondering if you ever thought about slowing down and coming home for awhile?" I had to grin to myself, my father always knew what I was thinking.

"Well to tell you the truth I was going to speak to you and mom about a job I was offered."

"OK, well that sounds wonderful. We can discuss it over dinner tonight."

Just then Emmett turned the car into a long winding driveway. The trees that canopied it were huge. Their branches stretched across the drive like hands of lovers trying to intertwine their fingers. Emmett pulled up to a cottage on the west side of the property.

"OK, man, this is you and Jasper's cottage. I am supposed to tell you to meet everyone on the south lawn for the Bridal luncheon at 3. And Mom said to not be late. Plus Dude, Rose will have my ass if you two are late"

I got out the car laughing while I retrieved my luggage. "ooooook, Em , Dad see you at 3"

As I turned to the cottage the door opened and there was Jasper.

"hey Brother" he had the funniest southern accent but he fit right in with these surroundings.

"Hi Jaz" we shook hands.

We had about an hour to get ready and be on the south lawn. So we tried to catch up in between showering and dressing. I thought about being late just to get Em in trouble, but Rose was already a handful. I really did miss my family.

The place was huge and it was the perfect picture for a wedding brochure. Esme ,Rose and Mrs. Hale did a great job. I was sure that every photographer and reporter would be asking for interviews for the magazine. It would seem that the Hale's were a very important family down here in the south.

So me, Jasper and Emmett started out at one of the many bars set up on the lawn. It was nice catching up with the guys. Then out of the corner of my eye, I see this brunette (no, not mousey brown but a beautiful deep chocolate brown), she is slender with a head full of soft waving hair that reached just past her shoulders. She is walking with a very slender black headed women. I elbow Jasper trying to nug him to look their way. He raises an eyebrow at me and then a slow grin pulls across his face.

"Em, who is that over there by Rose?"

Emmett looks up from his drink and says "Our parents, duh"

" No stupid" Jaz smacks Emmett's head " the 2 women standing there with them"

" Oh that is Rose's cousins Isabella and Alice, I meet them back in Forks their pretty cool. OOO but watch out for the pixie. She is tiny but a ball of energy. Bella is pretty cool she has a great sense of humor, she always laughs at my jokes"

My eyes hadn't left the Chocolate haired beauty since the conversation started between them and my parents. She was wearing this Blue dress that the front plunged deep, showing the soft curves of her breast. God lord the skirt fit her tight to her hips then tapered to her knees. Which caught my eye, slowly following her legs down to these fucking heels that made her stand with a slight arch to her back. As I watched her interact with my parents I felt the need , no more like a pull towards her. I wanted to hear her voice, and I wanted to NOW. I asked the bartender for a refill and then nudged Jasper to walk with me.

As we walked up I could hear her voice. And the little pixie looking one shot them all a pissy look.

Rose sees us walking up, and smiles a wicked smile. She really is beautiful in that obvious way.

"Girls, these are my soon to be Brothers in law"Rose said with a wicked smile

"Jasper Cullen and Edward Cullen these are my cousins and Best friends Isabella Swan and Alice Brandon"

I notice Jaz nod at Isabella, But then he surprises the hell out of me. And pulls that southern gentlemen shit by kissing Alice's hand. Ha, but he is not letting go. And she is just staring at him with a silly smile on her face.

"Ummhum" I clear there throat and Jasper drops her hand and smiles.

I take Isabella hand in mine. The touch is electric. Her eyes are on mine and pull is overwhelming for me. Shit Edward pull it to-fucking-gether.

She Raises one eyebrow at me questioningly then says "I prefer Bella, and it is very nice to meet you" I realize at that moment that she is the Bella that Rose and Em asked me to company on Piano for the wedding. Excitement lights my heart as I realize I will be spending a lot of time with her. I squeeze her hand gently and release it.

"Just call me Alice" she giggles "and it is nice to see were Emmett gets his good looks from"

"well thank you" says Dad with a laugh

Mom gives me a lifted eyebrow and inclines her head towards Bella. I smile.

"So Rosalie, is this "the" Isabella, I mean Bella, you were telling us about that's the amazing author with the angelic voice?" Bella begins to protest , she is really beautiful when she blushes. It creeps up from her breast and I feel the need to explore that further. Blushing is diffidently something I want her to do more of.

" Now I wouldn't say angelic..." Alice interrupts her, giving her this look that obviously means shut up.

"Oh, don't you be modest Bella you sing quite well, I think angelic is a good description Rose""as for her writing skills lets just say she could make anyone's story sound like an epic love story, She is a very talented women" writing skills, hmmmm, Swan why is that familiar.

I smile my sexiest smile at her and she blushes again. Then I realize I am staring at her as my mind was wandering to thoughts of her in my arms, her beneath me, on top of me. She blushes an even darker red, if that were possible, and her cream skin with the amazing blue dress and those damn shoes,leaves me reeling with thoughts of us alone. Her expression changes like she just realized something. Then with a shy look from under her lashes she looks at me and blurts out. 'So I guess we shall be spending sometime together then" I look deep into the most amazing Brown eyes I have ever since. It's like I can see strait to her fucking soul. And I can't turn away. So I smirk at her and wink. Her eyes becomes wide and shocked with a very shy smile.

I speak "Rosalie, have you and Em pick a song yet?"

"Yes, everything you need is in the music room. Bella, you remember where that is?"

She takes a deep breathe and breaks eye contact with me, "Um, yes I remember Rose."

Alice gigglesand they begin to banter back and forth. I can not get the stupid grin off my face from the thought of this beautiful angel alone with me and my most loved possession , MY Music. I am pulled out of my daydream by Esme's voice.

"well, Bella we look forward to hearing you and Edward together" then Esme pulls Bella into a hug. My heart melts at the sight in front of me. Shit...what the hell is wrong with me. I meet this girl 10 minutes ago and now I am losing my fucking mind over her.

Bella and I agreed to meet at 7 in the music room. The rest of the evening is spent catching up with relatives. Uncle Aro was able to make it but his brothers were away on business. His twins Alex and Jane were there. Alex was pretty cool but Jane just stared at me like I was fresh meat...yuk

I would occasionally catch a glimpse of Bella either smiling or laughing with someone and that made me annoyed. I wanted her to laugh with me, to smile at me. And when I thought it was safe to sneak a look she would catch me and a amazing blush would spread across her face because of course that meant I caught her starring at me.

7pm can not come quick enough.
