Happy Beginning Chapter 3
When I woke up that morning, rare sunshine floated into my room.
Great, I thought bitterly. No Edward for a whole 6 hours! I looked around my room, expecting to see him, but to no avail. Probably out hunting, I guessed. What else could he do on a day like today?
I warily got out of bed, starting my morning rituals, not looking forward to work at all.
I went out to my truck, the buttery haze of sunshine warming my body. I got in the truck and started the engine, unhappily heading to Newton's Camping Store.
The day went slowly- especially break time, a time I would have usually spent with Edward.
Finally, Finally it was over.
When I got home, I jogged up the creaky wood stairs to my room, and I saw Edward sitting on the edge of my bed.
"Edward!" I sighed, relieved.
"Hi, Bella." He said, smiling crookedly.
"Alice wants to talk wedding plans today, you know."
I groaned and closed my eyes. "When?"
"Erm," He checked his watch. " In about two minutes, actually."
I sighed, and said sarcastically through gritted teeth," And are we having this discussion here or there?"
"There." He said, humoring me.
"C'mon, Bells. How bad can this possibly be?" He asked, kissing his cool marble lips to my neck, making me shiver and forget all about my brilliant arguement that I was going to come up with.
"You..." I managed to say, because now he had his arms around my waist, and was snaking his lips all around my neck and collarbone, making me shiver even more.
I made him let go, and scowled. "You are such a cheater. Its not fair."
A few minutes later, we were sitting in the Volvo, our hands intertwined and his squeezing mine gently.
As we pulled up to the great white house, I saw Rosalie uncharacteristically wearing a boyish tanktop and loose jeans, working on her M3.
"Does Rosalie always do things like this?" I asked Edward.
"Rosalie is your typical tomboy." He told me, laughing.
"Psh." I muttered. "She sure doesn't look like it. Usually, anyway."
When I was about to open the Volvo door, I saw Alice gracefully dance toward us, carrying a thick white binder with the words, " Wedding Plans" scrawled in neat calligraphy.
Edward now opened my door for me, and grinned, his eyes flickering to Alice.
"Hey Bella!!!" Alice said. " I already have everything ready! You're going to loooooovvvveeee it, I promise!" She said this all very fast, even for her.
We went to the backyard, and sat down at a big wood table.
"Okay. Well, I was thinking that we could have the wedding here. You know, I made a standard guest list, only about 350 peop-"
"Wait, WHAT?" I said loudly. "350 people? No Alice, I told you not to go overboard!" I said, scowling at her.
" C'mon, Bella. I sort of.. let slip... er, that you're getting married, and the whole school wanted to come, so, what could I say?"
I looked at Edward, and he was laughing.
I gave him a death look.
"Can I continue? " Alice asked us.
"Yeah," Edward said, completely ignoring my incoherent splutters.
"Ok. Well, I've already got Bella a dress, you a tuxedo, guest list, catering, decorations, everything! Oh yes, and I've sent out invitations, you know that though." She said.
" When can we get married?" Edward asked, slightly anxiously.
"I set the date for July 3rd, so thats when the people will get here!"
"Alice, if you weren't a hundred times stronger than me, I'd strangle you right now." I growled.
"Listen I know you told Charlie it was in August, but... I changed my mind. And so did Edward, he's really the one that made me change it to be in July."
"WHAT? Edward, you.... you...." I struggled to find a good enough word to describe how horrible this was.
"Love, this way you'll change quicker than you anticipated. And you're other desire." He smiled.
I silently gave up. " What size dress did you get me, Alice?"
She squealed. "Small. Was I right?"
"Yep." I smiled reluctantly.
This'd be over soon enough.
