What's up with that? FOUR reviews? I mean, I know I suck at updating, but you could even put a smile in a review for all I care. I thought some people liked my stories. I guess not. OH! My best friend left me a comment (you know who you are) and this is exactly what she said, "Okay, if you say so, ... WHY WON"T YOU GET OFF YOU BUTT AND TYPE!? WHY DO YOU NOT MAKE LONGER CHAPTERS?! ANSWER ME!
Okay, I'm done!" She made me laugh my butt off! She always does.
Anyway…
Chapter 4
BPOV
As Edward walked out of the living room, I sat for a minute and then got up to go get Alice. I know that I usually hate shopping, but like every other girl, I've dreamed for years about my wedding dress.
I finally got to her room and knocked on the door. You wouldn't think a guy like Jasper would be with Alice. I mean, she has pink frillies all over her door! But, when you see the two together, you can tell that they just fit with each other. Opposites really do attract I guess. Alice, the always hyper, jumpy girl, with Jasper, the calm and quiet guy.
Edward and I are another story.
We met on vacation in LONDON! Now, don't think we just all of the sudden started dating. No, that's not the story.
I was walking down the streets of London with my aunt that I was visiting. We were laughing and having a good time while I drank my cappuccino. Then, he accidentally bumped into me making my drink spill on my shirt. He turned to look at me with wide eyes while I just stood there trying to figure out what just happened.
"I'm so sorry miss! Here, let me help you." He said, as I went for some napkins on a tale outside of the restaurant we were standing by.
He took the napkins I was holding and actually started to wipe off my shirt! It was so awkward because it had spilled all over my stomach, so not only was his hand on me, but his head was right next to my chest! Golly, it couldn't have been worse!
I don't think he even noticed the weird position.
He finally came up and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. When I looked at him, he was gorgeous! I had only really seen his hair before, but his face…wow…
"Sorry, ma'am. Really, I didn't mean-."
"It's fine." I interrupted. "No need to be sorry. It happens in my own house because I'm so clumsy."
"Well, that could be part of it, but this time it really was my fault…" Awkward silence. "I'm Edward." He suddenly said, sticking out his hand. I took it and his hand was warm. I felt good on my own.
"Isabella."
He kissed my hand while I blushed, and said, "I'll call you Bella. It suits you better."
"Why is that?"
"Because Bella means beautiful."
"So we're in Italy now?" I already knew that Bella meant beautiful in Italian.
"Maybe. I'll have to see you again, Bella." He said as he walked away slowly."
"Yeah." I mumbled. He heard it and laughed and as soon as he turned the corner, winked at me. I just stood there and jumped when I heard a squeal from beside me.
I hadn't even remembered that my aunt was there through the whole thing.
"Wow, Bells. I've seen some hunks in my time, but that was one good lookin' stud muffin." This made me laugh as we started walking back to her place.
Good times, good times. The funny part was that when I went back home to Forks, the exact same thing happened. Not exactly the same, because Edward and I just started laughing at the huge coincidence. Then we started dating and eventually, he asked me to be his girlfriend. A month later, Charlie said that we were moving to Maryland and the whole Cullen family begged for him to let me stay. He finally said yes and that's how I landed here. With Edward. In the Cullen house. With Edward's baby…
While I was thinking that over, Alice had answered her door and was currently calling my name and waving her hand in my face.
"Bella? Bella…Bella!"
"Huh?" I shook my head to clear it and she just giggled at me.
"So, you knocked on my bedroom door. Usually people do that when they want something."
"Right, uh…I'm ready to go look at dresses now."
"Yay! Let me get on some shoes and I'll be ready to go."
I nodded and walked to Edward's room. Opening the door, I saw him sitting in the middle of the bed writing something down. He looked up at the sound of me coming over to him and slammed the journal or whatever it was, shut.
"What're you writing about?"
"Nothing. Just getting my thoughts out on paper."
"Oh. Well, Alice and I are going to the mall for a bit. Um…I'll see you later, Ok?"
"Yeah." He smiled and leaned in to kiss me goodbye.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Bella. Make sure the three of you are safe."
"Thre-ooh. I will. Don't worry." I smiled and walked out of the room.
I loved that he referred to the baby too.
As soon as I closed the bedroom door, Alice came skipping towards me.
"Come on, Bella. Let's go!" I already had flip flops on, so I just followed her to the Porche.
The mall wasn't actually that big. I guess I just expected it to be since I was with Alice. Then again, we're shopping for me, not her. That seemed to cheer me up a bit.
She took me to a nice looking store while I followed her around. Alice kept asking me if I liked this or that. I didn't really pay attention to her questions. I was intent on finding something on my own. She handed me some very beautiful dresses and I tried them on. Sure, I liked them, but they just weren't what I was looking for.
"Then, what are you looking for?" Alice demanded when I told her this.
Truth is, I didn't even know for sure.
She led me to store after store and I still hadn't found something that caught my eye.
We were walking past different stores when I saw a dress hanging up near the back of a place that had maternity clothes.
I had stopped in my tracks just standing in front of the doors. Alice, noticing that I wasn't beside her, turned and came back to me.
"Maternity? Bella, you're not even showing yet."
"I will be by the time we have our wedding."
She looked deep in thought for a minute and said, "I guess you're right. Ah, what the heck. Let's go!" I laughed at her sudden enthusiasm and went in with her. I headed straight to the dress that I had seen.
"Wow, Bells. That's really pretty. I bet it would look fabulous on you." She grabbed the gown and led me to the dressing rooms once again.
When I had the door locked, I started putting it on. It needed to be tied in the back, which was a good thing because then I can adjust it if I get bigger.
"Alice! Can you come tie this for me?" I unlocked the door.
"Sure." She came in and laced up the back of the dress.
"Thank you." I said as I turned around in the huge dressing room.
She gasped and her eyes were wide, staring at me.
"Bella, there is no doubt in my mind that that it the dress." I turned to look in the mirror and my mouth hung open. It was even better than it was on the hanger!
The dress flowed gently down to the floor and wasn't poofy at all. It had thin straps that turned the dress into a halter and on the back of them; it had thin fabric that went down to create a little bit of a train behind me. No beads or anything. Just comfortable white fabric transformed into a breathtakingly, beautiful dress. Not even sparkles. Just white that pooled around my feet. (Dress in my profile. You HAVE to look at it! I seriously want this dress for myself!)
"Alice…let's go buy this thing before I run back to the house with it on."
She laughed at me and helped me out of the dress.
We paid for it and drove back home to get lunch.
I got out of the car, holding my dress that was on its hanger inside a bag, thank goodness. I walked in the door and went upstairs to Edward's room. He had two closets. I don't know why, but he did. He wasn't in there, so I put my dress in my closet and went back downstairs. I wasn't worried about him seeing it because he doesn't look in there anyway.
Emmett, Jasper, and Edward were on the couch playing Halo. I sat in front of him so that he could still see his game.
"Hey, babe. Get a dress?"
"Yep. I love it and so will you."
"Only if it shows how big you get in the next few months."
"I don't know whether to take that as an insult or not, but it will show it."
"Good." He smiled brightly while still staring at the TV.
"Hey, Bella?"
"Yes, Emmett?" I sighed.
"I feel bad for you because Edward won't be here when you're humongous and won't be able to call you a whale of a wife like other guys do with their brides."
"Emmett!" Edward yelled.
"What?" He said in between laughter. "Whoa! Why'd you kill me Ed? I'm on your team!"
"Because basically, you just called Bella a whale. And I wouldn't do that anyway. It's ungentlemanly."
"Yeah, yeah." He mumbled.
I'll add more soon, but you guys need to yell at me. No flames please. Just yell to get me off my but. Lol.
Loves,
KP
