Shopping and the show
Bpov
"Bellaaaaa" Alice complained while yanking me from the car. We had just arrived at our shopping destination and Alice was all business. "Okay. We need to get you jeans, skirts, sweaters, tanks, tee-shirts, dresses, and SHOES!"
"Slow down Alice" I called out while slamming the door behind me. Alice turned and glared. Then checked her car for dents or scratches. "Sorry." I said sheepishly.
"Bella!" Rosalie called already at the doorway to one of the stores, "Hurry!" she pranced inside and picked through the dresses, finally landing on a cute black one with white detailing. She thrust it at me as I entered the cute store and Alice came with a pair of short black boots.
"Try these!" she called adding it to the already growing pile of clothes in my arms. I nodded and pulled my large amount of clothes into one of the vacant dressing rooms that lined the shop. I first tried on the black dress which came in nicely at the waist and slowly opened up. It hit right above the knee. It was perfect. The dress was very girly but the short boots made it a little more edgy. It was the kind of outfit I never thought I could find, put together, and pull off. But now I had!
"Look! I love it!!" I exclaimed as I burst from the dressing room to model their latest creation. Alice smiled in approval and Rosalie winked and cheered. Then Alice grabbed a strand of black pearls and hung them around my neck. The jewelry glimmered a silver color as I twirled and the dress puffed out. "Its perfect." I whispered.
"I knew you would love shopping with your soon-to-be sisters" Alice called. "Its way more fun than just us two, we get a second opinion. And twice as much clothes." She threw in a smirk and walked to the other side of the store. I shook my head as I saw her pulling jeans off the rack and sizing them up, probably wondering if the double zeros came small enough to fit her perfect frame.
Soon it was time to leave, I couldn't wait to get home. I knew Edward would love my new outfits. Alice sped us home. I had already eaten lunch (Edward made it for me, remember) and decided to go cook Charlie something.
"Come on Edward!" I called as I sprang from the yellow car and headed to the silver one. "We are going to Charlie's!" I smiled as he came shooting towards me.
"No, Love, we aren't" he said softly. Obviously he was trying to dazzle me. The only problem with Edward was whenever he tried to do something, he succeeded. "I think now would be a wonderful time to model what you got today…Charlie can wait, can't he?"
"Umm, Yes?" I responded lamely. There was something about that face, something about that voice, something about that guy. It made my knees buckle and my mouth dry.
"Good." He countered trying to sound as alluring as possible. He scooped me up and strode quickly to the house. Of course Emmett was teasing us as we walked past him. Edward ignored him, but I couldn't.
"Shut up!" I hissed knowing I was fueling the fire. I was right he smiled jauntily knowing he had gotten to me and continued to joke until we moved out of hearing distance.
"Pay no attention to him, Love." Edward reminded soothingly. "And try this on?" he asked suggestively pointing to a short black dress and draping necklace combo. I rolled my eyes but moved to the bathroom with the dress in hand. I changed quickly and fixed my hair. Then I strutted out of the bathroom with my head held high and my toes squished in black pumps.
"You like it?" I curiously asked as he nodded. "I thought you might." I countered. Throwing my head back and laughing, but not too loud. I tried to look some-what sexy as I walked over to him. But then I tripped. And not just a stumble, A flat out fall on my face kind of trip. I could feel the color rising in my cheeks.
"You haven't changed a bit." He said thoughtfully. "I would have that that my dear sisters would have taught you how to walk in heals. Have they not?"
"No, they didn't think that far ahead." I snarled. "Remind me to thank them later." I added sarcastically.
"Sorry, Love, I didn't mean to make you mad. Well, not at me." Edward sweetly whispered trying to cool my flaming face with his freezing hands.
Just then Alice barged into the room her arms full of bags. "Fashion show!" she screamed. Rosalie came in with arms full of bags and hands on her ears. Her pretty face was contorted and she looked pained.
"I am right here Alice. Don't yell!" She called to the over-eager pixie. She pushed Edward off the bed and put down her bags. Then she offered me a hand. I grabbed it and she hoisted me up to my feet. I wobbled a bit in the heels and she and Alice laughed. I knew Edward was trying to hide his.
"Here, Bella!" Alice decided as she passed over white skinny jeans, a yellow top that had puffed out sleeves, and yellow wedge flip-flops. I put it all on and pulled my softly curled hair into a side pony. Cute I thought and left the bathroom.
This time I walked confidently and without a problem! I worked the runway which was really a strip of carpet. Then I smiled to my adoring fans. They cheered and handed me another outfit.
Next was a pair of dark wash skinny jeans that rose all the way to my hips and fastened easily. On top I wore a white blouse with ruffles and a tie belt that accentuated my waist. I wore small black boots on my feet. These were WAY more comfortable than heels!
I emerged from the bathroom and strutted through the room then I posed in front of the three on-lookers. They smiled and laughed as I did a quick turn, somehow managing to trip in the low boots, and shuffled through to the bathroom where a third outfit was hanging.
I quickly slid a pink silk halter top in a floral pattern off the hanger and put in on in place of the white button up. Then I removed light wash flare jeans from their hanger and slid them easily over my legs. To finish the outfit was a pair of metallic pink flip flops. I re-did my hair so half was clipped up and the rest flowed over my thin shoulders. Then I re-applied my lip-gloss.
I sauntered out front and center and struck a pose. Then I giggled when I realized that Alice and Rosalie had changed and were striking similar poses. Now Edward was the only spectator. We all walked to the middle and high-fived…but it took a while to figure out because there were three of us. I broke into peals of laughter when I saw the bemused look on Edwards face. Then I moseyed on over to my fiancé. He pulled me into his lap and motioned for the other two to leave.
I didn't want to get into an awkward situation with the girls in ear shot so I raced to the bed and jumped on. Edward smiled his stunning smile and came to join me. He kissed me until the human needed air. Though we never had uncomfortable moments I raced to fill the silence.
"So Edward, have you heard…" I was cut off by marble lips meeting my own and I relaxed instantly. There was something about Edward that always erased my opinions and left me unable to think. So I just melted into his cool body and let myself be carried away.
When we broke it was sudden and I could tell Edward had heard someone's thoughts and they were either good, bad, or annoying. He sat back on an expertly fluffed pillow and stared at the door. Bam! I jumped at the sound of the door hitting the wall. Alice walked in and stared Edward straight in the eye her face was serious. I thought of the possible things this stern face could mean. The wedding? The volturi? The family? Who was in danger?
"You need to get your tux dry-cleaned." She said making me laugh incredibly hard. She stared straight through me. "You think this is funny? Just you wait. Do you wan to go to your wedding having the groom wearing a dirty, wrinkled suit?" She screeched.
"Alice, chill out. No, I want Edward to look nice. I just thought you meant something more…" I started but I trailed off, not knowing what to say.
"More what?" she pressed.
"Serious?" I guessed.
"Ugh…you never understand." She groaned as she turned around. Edward zoomed over and stopped her.
"I sent it last week." He stated. I laughed and Alice smiled.
"Sorry Bella." She called shamefacedly. I laughed and quickly forgave her.
"Now leave." I commanded. Edward and I picked up where we left off…until I needed sleep.
