Hey Guys! I've been so busy lately! I took a trip to New York AMAZING! Then my computer crashed when I got back... So I haven't been able to be on for two weeks. I'm sorry for my absents. I am a little disappointed about the reviews and new follower/ subscribers. So I'm going to go back to asking for reviews only because I don't want to spend my time writing when I don't know if my story is even getting read by people. I also can't keep writing once a week since things are very busy. Hope you all enjoy this chapter. Belongs to Stephenie Meyers!
Chapter 4
I quickly pulled my dress down from my hip to my ankles then slowly opened the door and peeked out. "Excuse me your highness," I jumped when I heard the voice no expecting to be so close. I heard chuckle as he walked up behind me.
"Yes, David?" Edward opened the door wider.
"You're father has asked me to look for the both of you. People have noticed your absents and your father wants you in the reception room immediately " His tone was low yet demanding as if he was the king himself.
"Alright tell him my apologizes and we will return soon," He nodded to David then closed the door after he left.
I hugged Edward wrapping my arms around his neck, "I'm sorry that was my fault, I couldn't control myself." I whispered in his ear.
"It's not your fault love I was anxious too." He kissed my forehead. "Come on people are waiting for us." I walked out of the room.
Later on came the speeches which I was very nervous for. First up was Emmett my oldest brother. He clinked his wine glass with the knife to get everyone's attention.
"Excuse me, I'd like to say a few words. Don't worry I'll get straight to the toasts. I don't want to keep the happy couple any longer than I have to as I know they are itching to go upstairs and put their things together." He chuckled at his own joke while the crowd was absolutely silent. I saw my dad's reaction almost choking on his champagne. I covered my face with my hands completely embarrassed he said that especially in front of royals. Edward squeezed his arm around my shoulders comforting me.
Next Alice went up to the microphone. "Bella you are my my best friend, the sister I never had, and sometimes the mother I need. I'm so happy you found the man you truly love and will forever. You have always been there for me now it's your turn for someone to be there for you. Edward I expect my sister to be treated not only as your queen but as a goddess. Raise you glass to the beautiful couple." I saw tears form in Alice's eyes. I had to use my napkin to wipe some that escaped my eyes too.
Surprisingly I saw Jessica get on the stage going to give a toast. I was curious to see was she has to say. "Well, I'm honored to stand here and congratulate you on this beautiful day. The Royal cute couple, right? So gorgeous. You guys were made for each other like peanut butter and mustard. I mean I forgive you for stealing Edward as my study partner wink wink, and took my date at the holiday ball. But then I found Mike. Not as good but I guess I could settle for him. But even Mike was in love with you! But here I am, dateless at my your wedding. Who saw that one coming? Ha! I mean, awkward, right? Anyway, that dress, Bella. I'm speechless. Partly because you knew that's the kind of dress I've dreamed about since we were met. But really, I couldn't be happier for you two. Could. Not. Be. Happier."
No one knew what to do after that speech. I shook my head putting my hand to my forehead wanting the speech to just me over already. Edward had his eyes closed pinching the bridge of his nose. I couldn't even look over to his family to see their reactions. Charlie finally came up on the stage to break the ice a little.
"They say giving your daughter away is the hardest part of your father daughter relationship. I for one don't believe that. I've already gave my daughter up when she gave her heart to Edward. Edward will be a good husband. I can't kill him if he's not but I can haunt him when I'm dead." The whole room started to chuckle. "I remember when Bella was born Renee and I thought no guy could ever be right for her. But we prayed everyday for her husband, best friend, companion, someone to make her happy. Then the first day we met Edward, and saw the happiness in our daughter's eye we wondered is that the man we've been waiting for." Hearing Charlie say that deep toast really made me tear up.
Then I heard a glass clinking from the side of me. It was King Carlisle. "It is a blessing to have Bella be an addition to our family. The best things come unexpected." I smiled hearing him say that. Esme stood up and cut in, "We will cherish and protect her always" Lastly Edward went unexpectedly said a few words.
"It's an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bare your soul to and accept you for what you are. I've been waiting, for what seems like a very long time, to get beyond what I am. With Bella I feel like I can finally begin. So I'd like to propose a toast to my beautiful bride. No measure of time with you will be long enough. But let's start with forever."
"It's time to go, time to go!" Alice pulled at my arm dragging me upstairs. She quickly unzipped my dress and threw on a short comfortable dress on me. "I packed your suitcase and everything is ready to go."
"Alice do you have any idea where he's taking me?" I looked at her trying to see if her face gave it away.
"I can't tell you Edward will kill me! But don't worry I packed everything you need." She gave me a wink, which deathly scared me. Not knowing what she had in store for me. Ugh I hate surprises, especially not knowing where the honey moon is.
Hope you Enjoy! Not giving a preview because the next chapter is steamy... Please review/comment about how I should to the honeymoon night! I want at least 7 reviews before I post the next chapter! Again I'm sorry I keep posting late. WARNING NEXT CHAPTER IS RATED M FOR MATURITY.
