Chapter 3
AN: I am so sorry! I didn't mean to make you wait so long. You ready for my big excuse… (drum roll please)
I don't have one! I really am sorry though. It's just my dad got into a car wreck and then I am starting to have that summer caused disease where your days kinda just blend together.
Ha! I tricked ya! You thought I was going to give you an excuse but I did! HA! Beat that!
Sorry! Shutting up…NOW!
BPOV
I woke up the something trying to push me away from the warmest and most comfortable pillow I have ever had. I threw my arms around the pillow and held on desperately. It smelled even better.
Of course then I realized that the pillow was a person-Edward, to be exact. I froze and then groaned and snuggled closer. As long as I pretended to be asleep then it wouldn't be as embarrassing.
"Bella? Wake up. We are about to lad and you need to put your seat belt on. You can't do that in my lap, lo-."
He cleared his throat at the end to cover up what he was about to say. What was he going to say? Lollipop? Larry? Looney Tune?
'Love, You Crazy Half-Asleep Idiot in denial! He was about to call you love because he is in love with you! Wake UP!'
I shook my head at 'bad Bella' and realized that told Edward I was awake. It also rubbed my lips against his neck, which I was currently using to bury my face in.
Edward's breathe quickened; his heart, that I could feel beating next to mine, sped up; and his arms around me tightened. I internally smiled, He like that didn't he?
I continued nuzzling his neck until he groaned.
"Bella, please stop doing that. I can only keep my control to a certain point and you are not helping. Now go back to your seat please?" His voice lowered to a level that could not be refused. I sighed, which made him shiver, and slid back into my seat.
I looked at him through my lashes and smiled innocently. He glared at me growled in frustration. I giggled at him and leaned into whispered in his ear, "Is that any way to treat the woman that you are about to marry?"
He shivered and I thought, At least I know he is attracted to me.
"No its not, but you are teasing me and I have to say that I like it in a torturing way. And just think I can have you all to myself in a matter of hours."
I stared at him in shock. Could that mean…
I tried to keep my voice teasing as I replied, "Whatever do you mean, Mr. Cullen? You really like the idea of getting stuck in a fake relationship with your best friend because she's pregnant?"
"No, I like getting stuck in a real relationship with my best friend so that I can give her the support that she needs and deserves. I know it seems like I am just getting married to you because you're pregnant but I really do care about you, Bella. Besides, who knows, maybe this could be real if we give it a try."
He kept his face serious through the entire monologue and I tried to start breathing again. I can add that to the Proof that Edward loves Me List.
I looked down and bit my lip as my ever present blush rush to my cheeks. I took Edward's hand in mine and looked in his eyes.
"I don't know how I got so lucky to get a best friend like you but I'm so glad I did because without you I don't what I would've done."
He smiled gently at me but I could see the hidden disappointment in his eyes and I wondered why. I was about to ask him but I was interrupted by the captain over the intercom saying that we would land in five minutes.
The plane landed and we got our luggage and headed to the care rental service. We figured we would stay for a little while so that it looked like we actually had a honeymoon.
I rolled my eyes as Edward pulled over the curb in a silver Volvo. Ever since his parents got him that car for his sixteenth birthday he would refuse to let anyone drive his car and he rarely ever drove anyone else's car, he said he felt like he was cheating on 'Mell'. Yeah that's right he named the car Mell.
Once we were done loading the luggage, we got in the car and started driving around trying to find a Vegas chapel.
"Isn't this considered cheating on Mell?" I said teasingly. He smiled my crooked smile and- Wait, WHAT?! MY crooked smile? When did it become mine?
Since he started smiling that way! He only smiles at you that way. Remember?! Gosh how did you get so blind?!
I really wish she would shut up! Although she does have a point; I mean, he only smiles at me that way and it is my favorite smile……STOP!! I do not need to make things awkward between us if he doesn't like me that way.
"Well, I think she will understand. She and I are rather platonic at the moment. I told I was running off to marry someone else and she is rather upset with me now. I think our honeymoon will give her time to cool down."
He said it so seriously that I was afraid that he had gone insane or something. I mean he is marrying me so that has to be a sign he is crazy. I stared at him open-mouthed until he started laughing at my expression. I slapped his arm then joined him.
EPOV
I couldn't keep it in any longer. The expression on her beautiful face was too hilarious to not laugh at. She joined me and I watched from the corner of my eye how she threw her head back and let out her infectious and jingling laugh.
I sighed in content and watch the buildings go by, looking for the right one. I finally found it and pulled in to the parking lot.
Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel.
It was just as cliché as you would think. All the Vegas chapels on the T.V. and in movies looked the same. Big sign with lighted letters on it, another big sign with flashing letters advertising the place.
Bella sat there just staring at the building with a look I could not place. I gave her time to time before getting out and opening her door. I leaned down and said, "Bella, are you ready for this?"
She slowly turned her to gaze at me. It appeared as though she was calculating something or studying my face. I took this time to stare unabashedly at her. She looked beautiful in the afternoon light.
She sighed heavily and nodded. I helped out of the car and kept her hand in mine. We walked to the door and I opened it for her. There was a counter with a souvenir gift shop look and a man behind it. He smiled at us in a cheesy fake way.
"Hello, I'm Brian Nelson, How may I help you today?" he said in a weirdly deep voice. I guess all those years of doing Elvis impressions have gotten to him.
"Yes, we would like to get married. I'm Edward Cullen and this is my be-fiancée, Bella Swan." I said in a polite tone.
"Oh, congratulations! Now would you like a traditional or themed wedding?" he said.
"Well, what types of themes do you have?" I said curiously.
He pulls out a book and says to look at through it. Bella and I quickly looked through it, laughing at some of the themes as quietly as possible so the guy wouldn't hear us.
It was crazy! They had some really freaky and strange themes like Rock-n-Roll, James Bond, Beach Party, and Intergalactic. The last one was meant for Trekies so they could dress up as Star Trek characters. (NO OFFENCE! I LOVE STAR TREK!)
I came to a page and stopped. It was prefect! I loved it immediately and turned to Bella with hope and pleaded to her with my eyes like a little boy asking for a puppy.
BPOV
I sighed and shook my head at how crazy Edward was. Ever since he watched to movie Dracula with his family when he was little, they became obsessed with vampires.
I mean ALL of them! Even Esme and Carlisle are rather obsessed with them. Every other family night they rent Dracula or some other vampire related movie and watch it.
They have spent years trying to convert me to being obsessed with them. I never understood it though.
Anyways the point is that Edward was now trying to convince me to have a themed wedding called, "The Tomb."
The minster is dressed as Dracula and you the whole Chapel is decorated as a graveyard.
I sighed again and looked in to Edward's eyes.
He looked so excited and hopeful like a little boy hoping to get his first puppy. I couldn't say no to him when he pleaded with me this way.
Besides he is doing this for me, so I might as well make this as painless as possible. So what if I have dress up like a vampire and where fake fangs.
I nodded and his face broke out into to a big wide grin that stretched from ear to ear. He looked like a kid on Christmas; I couldn't help but smile back. I loved making him this happy.
He turned and requested the theme to the cheesy Brian guy. Brian asked if we would like to have it filmed and Edward immediately agreed.
I quirked an eyebrow at him. He sighed and bent to whispered in my ear, "Alice will have a fit when we get back. We might as well throw her some kind of bone and let her watch it."
I sighed and knew he was right. His little sister and my other best friend can be quite the handful sometimes.
'Sometimes?! What do you mean sometimes?! I think you mean all the TIME!!'
I internally sighed. Edward had finished paying and I was whisked away to put on my dress. The lady, Patricia, put make up on me.
Since I was already pale she only had to put on black eyeliner and eye shadow to make me look like a corpse then she showed my the dress. It was black and white. The dress was like one of those old Victorian dresses. It had a criss-cross corset like pattern in the front. The white was underneath and had ripples going all the way to the floor.
(AN: Sorry I am so not good at describing the dress but to be helpful and not mean I put a link on my profile! Oh but I totally 86-ed the veil because Bella and I don't like it! XD)
I put on the dress and found that it fit me well surprisingly and then I popped in the fake fangs. I then took one look at the veil and asked if I had to wear it. The lady giggled and said it was my wedding and I could do what ever I wanted. I put the veil away and looked at myself in the mirror.
I am pregnant and am getting married to my best friend. So why at a time like this with all these life changing things about to happen, do I still notice how plain I am? Oh that's right, because I'm Bella Swan and don't waste my time worry about the future but choose to spend it belittling myself.
I sighed. I have been doing that a lot lately. Oh well, its time to get hitched to my own personal savior. I walked out of the dressing room and went to stand at the doors that led me to Edward.
This is the first time in my life that I will be taking a step forward and not knowing where I will end up and no matter how much that scared me, Edward will be with me and that's a pretty good start.
The creepy music started to play as the doors opened and I took that as my queue. I tried to gracefully glide down the isle with a bouquet of black roses-Wow; they go all out on this whole themed wedding-but failed. I stumbled just as I reached to end and Edward caught me.
I took this time to take in Edward's appearance. He wore a full suit with a black rose in his the little button hole, with a cape on with the black on the outside and red on the inside. The first two buttons on his shirt were undone and the tie was just hanging there. He smiled a crooked grin and revealed his fake fangs.
This is strange to admit but Edward look absolutely…sexy dressed this way. I definitely like it! Who knows I may start to like vampires after all.
"Are you ready to start?" said Brian in a cheesy Dracula voice. Without looking away from my eyes Edward nods and says yes. He goes through the whole wedding shebang but I didn't really listened I just stared at Edward.
Then Edward's velvet voice says loud and clear, "I, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, take Isabella Marie Swan as my lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward, until death do us part."
He said it with such intensity that I even started to doubt that he had ever not loved me. I smiled with happy tears filling my eyes and repeated my part to him and his smile grew so big that I was afraid he'd pull a muscle in his face.
Then, what felt like a second later but was really minutes, Edward said, "I do."
I listened to the minister and, when the time came, I said, "I do."
"You may now suck her blood!" Brian said in that cheesy Dracula voice. We both just looked at him and raise our eyebrows.
"Tough crowd." He mumbled before saying exasperated, "Alright, Fine! You may now kiss the bride!" he said in the same stupid voice then went into a creepy Dracula evil laugh before starting to cough.
"That's harder then it looks. Will you two just kiss already!"
Edward looked at me and rolled his eyes. I giggled but stopped short when his face turned serious. He started to lean in and then his lips pressed softly against mine.
AN: *Ducks and covers* I know, I know, that was mean but I wanted to try my hand at another cliffy! So I hope you like it! I worked on it 'til 2:30 am because I felt guilty for making you wait.
The Link for Bella's dress is on my profile as is the wedding chapel and the theme. Now, the people are not real and I made everything expect the theme, the DVD option and the chapel. You can really do that at the chapel. Also if you visit the Chapel website there is a web cam option and it gives you a tour!
So there you are! Thanks for reading! Now all you need to do is review! I don't even care if its "nice update soon" I just want to know you like it! Thanks again!
