Chapter 4 – Team work

I woke up this morning after a wonderful restful sleep. I felt rejuvenated and excited to start working on the wedding plans.

I showered and put on my favorite jeans and my tank top. I knew I was going to be trying on my dress today, so I spent a little more time on my hair and makeup than usual. I was dying for coffee, but the search party had already started.

"Bella, are you ready, we need to get going. " Alice yelled from outside the bathroom door.

I opened the bathroom door and hugged my best friend.

"Oh how I have missed your bossiness" I said smiling.

"I am excited to spend time with you, just the girls!" Alice smiled "Sorry Bella, the guys will be joining us as well. The fittings for the tuxes are in the same place as where I had the bridesmaid dresses made. We will get to spend some time together real soon, I promise." she said before she pushed me towards the stairs.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBellaandEdwardOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The dress shop was a huge collection of bridal wear and Alice had all of us lining up and taking turns with our alterations. Emmett, Edward and the other three groomsmen were only a mirror away doing the same thing.

I went into the dressing room and put on the most beautiful dress I can imagine, not that I was surprised that that it was beautiful, because Alice had flawless taste. The dress was a pale daffodil color with a halter top and synched panel waist. I stepped out of the dressing room and Alice squealed. "I knew you would look amazing in that dress. It fits perfectly!' She gushed.

It was very flattering on and I enjoyed wearing it.

"Edward, come see Bella in her bridesmaid dress. As a matter of fact, go stand up there and let me get a few picture so I can imagine the wedding. Oh, you both look terrific!"

Edward looked amazing in his black tux. He was stunning. His eyes surveyed me in the dress and I have to say, that a chill ran down my spine as he looked me up and down. He smiled so sweetly and simply said "You are exquisite Bella" Edward whispered and he raised my hand to his lips.

Needless to say, I was shaking by the time Alice made a big deal about the pictures. She was acting a more bizarre than usual when she started putting us in different poses.

"Edward, pull Bella closer with the left hand and look into her eyes" Alice demanded

Edward and I played along after all, she was the bride. Edward started to get a bit agitated with her and told her that he was done. I was glad that the photo shoot ended, I worried that every time we touched by he would notice my labored breathing or my increased pulse.

We all went to lunch after the fittings and then Edward and then we planned to leave about 5pm to go to Seattle to visit the club and make the arrangements for the party.

I had changed into a simple black cocktail dress and started walking down the stairs.

Edward was waiting there for me wearing a pair of black dress pants and a form fitting dark blue button up. He looked amazing standing there, with all his attention on me with a perfect smile on his face.

"You look beautiful tonight Bella" Edward whispered.

"You look especially handsome yourself." I smiled and took his hand.

"Esme, we are leaving, we won't be too late." I said hugging her.

"Drive safely Edward, we just got Bella back home, so be careful with her"

I promise mom, don't worry, we will be fine." Edward guaranteed her confidently.

He opened the car door for me and waited until I was completely in the car and shut the door.

"Wow, Edward, you are quite the gentleman. This is feeling like a real date with all the slick moves you're displaying" I laughed

"Women, you haven't seen my moves yet. "

My heart stopped for a brief second and then I started laughing.

"Calm down there sparky; don't waste your game on me. I am not easily swayed, even by an expert such as yourself." I laughed at the bantering.

"Well, that sounds like a challenge Bella… Should we see if you can resist me?" Edward teased.

My heart was beating so hard that I couldn't focus on anything, so I laughed.

"So Edward, I hear that you have a few job offers on the table? Your dad said that one looked real promising in Seattle. Spill it" I goateed him

Edward smiled at me and laughed at my sudden change of subject. He played along and answered my question.

"The job in Seattle is a great opportunity to work with some of the greatest architects in the area. I did my internship there and they offered me a job right as soon as I graduated. The money is right, and I would get to start designing right away and start to build a name for myself."

"Wow Edward, that sounds wonderful, so are you taking it." I asked

"I think I am. I am meeting with them on Monday for the official offer and contract. I did let them know that I am not able to start until after the wedding. "

"Well, then we have to celebrate your new job tonight. I will buy you a drink!" I smiled and squeezed his hand.

"Bella, you are something else. " Edward said in a soft voice.

The rest of the 2 and ½ hour ride to Seattle was filled with amazing conversation and laughs and teasing. Edward seemed a little more flirtatious then he used to. A skill I am sure he has perfected in the last four years. I truly enjoyed spending time with him. It was amazed how well we get along and how we see the world in the same light. I could literally talk to him for days and not get bored.

We arrived at the club at 8pm and walked around making mental notes about the set up and location of the stage.

Alice and Jasper made it clear that they really wanted to be together with their friends to celebrate their last night of being single. Believe it or not, Alice didn't want any part in planning this party. She said it was the maid of honor and the best man's job to plan this party. Planning parties is not my strong suit, but Edward seemed to have a handle on things, so I felt safe in the knowledge that things would get done and Edward would guide this project. At about 10:30 we had everything all set up with the club. Edward put down a deposit in order to hold the private VIP lounge for the party. The music was great, they even had a caterer for the hordourves and we choose an open bar for the guests. It never ceased to amaze me how generous the Cullen family was.

"I think we are all set, can you think of anything else we could do?" I asked?

"Well, the only thing left to do is dance." Edward smiled as he grabbed my hand. We danced to a few songs, laughing and enjoying the music. A slow song came on and I couldn't believe how Edward pulled me so close. I felt light as a feather as his strong arms encircled me and moved with his on the dance floor.

"Is this ok?" He whispered softly as his eyes studied my face.

I didn't trust myself to speak, so I nodded my head and then laid my head on his shoulder. There was a moment when I lifted my head and caught him looking at me in a way I had never seen. He looked apprehensive and worried, and something else I couldn't put my finger on, but then our eyes locked and a he smiled at me so tenderly. I melted into his arms.

I prayed for the DJ to loop the song, so it would keep playing and I could stay in Edwards's arms permanently, but once it ended, my body stiffened, as I waited for him to disengage. He stood there holding me for a moment, and then whispered softly in my ear.

"Are you ready?"

"Sure" I smiled as we walked to the entrance. I was grateful for his hand on my lower back because it steadied me as we walked to the car.

EPOV

I was not prepared for this. I am overwhelmed; I don't think I can contain myself. Holding her on the dance floor I swear I almost ruined everything by kissing her. My face was so close, but I know it would have taken her by surprise. I did enjoy today though. It was one of my best days yet.

We got settled in the car and as I started heading out of town, Alice called on my cell phone.

"Hey Alice! How was dinner with the in-laws?" I asked in a teasing voice knowing how up tight Jaspers parents are.

"Joyful as always" Alice said sarcastically "Have you guys left town yet? "She asked

"We just left the club and are heading towards the freeway." I explained

"Edward, could you do me a huge favor?" Alice asked in her baby voice, the one she used when she was going to make me do something I didn't want to do.

"I just thought that maybe you could pick up the place cards and the thank you cards at the printers."

"Alice, it is past eleven, they will not be opened!"

"Actually, I have taken care of that, I reserved you a room at the Hyatt and you can get some sleep and grab it in the morning. It would save me a trip in tomorrow." She pleaded

"Alice, I don't know if Bella would be comfortable with that? Let me check with her."

I explained the issue to Bella and she was just sweet in her reply.

"It is fine; it does make more sense than driving down again in a few hours. I just don't have anything with me." Bella said

Alice hearing what Bella had said, asked me to look in the back seat.

"I think that I left my bag in there from our fitting today. It has a bunch of goodies in there, I am sure I have something in there that she can use."

Bella started laughing as she rifled through the bag and found two unused toothbrushes, makeup, a t-shirt, and a cute outfit that looked brand new.

"Only Alice" I laughed in response to the bag of everything.

"Okay, Princess Alice, we will grant your request." I said into the phone.

"Thank you, you're both awesome. Now I have to go and practice the honeymoon game with Jasper, see you both tomorrow. Alice said before hanging up.

I turned the car around and headed to the Hyatt Resort. Bella sat beside me chattering about Alice and some of her famous bright ideas. We pulled up to the valet parking and the bellhop came for our bags.

Bella carried Alice's goody bag, and her purse and I just shook my head at the bell hop. He smirked as to imply that this was a hook up after a night of partying. I just laughed as I led Bella into the lobby and checked us in.

"Bella, Alice only booked us one room. I can get another room if you will be more comfortable." I said at the desk.

"Don't be silly Edward; unless you are worried about your virtue, one room will be fine." Bella teased

"You should be more worried about yours" I smirked and little did she know how much I meant it.

We were still laughing as we entered our hotel room. It was a beautiful suite with romantic lighting all around. The only thing I saw was the incredible king size bed. My eyes went directly to Bella to see her reaction.

AN-Please review- I so want to hear what you think. This is my first story... Thanks!
