I followed an irate Alice; Edward trailed behind me with a smug smile plastered on his
face. He really seemed to love driving Alice off the deep-end. I slid into the front seat of
her Porsche and fastened my seatbelt. Edward hopped into the backseat, and Alice took
her place behind the wheel. As we drove she glared lividly at Edward. He just smiled and
sat there like we were going to get an ice-cream cone. In a matter of minutes we were
parked in front of an Italian café. A dark wooden sign that read Café Ciao hung above a
low doorway that led to a dark room filled with short tables and chairs. I should have
known that Alice would bring us to a café directly across from the Bridal Emporium.
"Alice," I groaned. "Do we have to plan the wedding now?" I asked pouting. "Silly Bella," her voice was calm and composed.
"YES WE HAVE TO PLAN YOUR WEDDING NOW! It's in less than a month!" Her pent up aggravation at Edward exploded in
my face like a firecracker. The strangers that were staring moments ago were
now looking away quickly, trying to avoid eye contact. I looked at Edward and he gently
took my hand. I let Alice lead us to a table that was on the far side of the building. She sat
down gracefully, motioning for Edward and me to do the same. Edward, of course in all
his perfectness, sat down fluidly. I, on the other hand, caught my foot on the rug, tripped
and nearly gave myself a concussion. Edward's strong, marble-like hands caught me
before my head came into contact with the floor. He lifted me gently and placed me in the
chair next to him, so that I was sitting opposite of Alice. "Now Bella," she began her
voice sugar-coated. "I'm gonna order you something to drink and then I'll show you what
I've come up with so far." Her sweetness was staring to scare me. "Hi, my name is Lydia. What can I get you?" A tall red-
headed waitress said. Her eyes danced from me to Edward as she shifted to face Alice. "One decaf skinny mocha latte
blender, with a pinch of cinnamon please." Lydia scribbled furiously on the pad as she took Alice's order.
"Will that be all ma'am?" she asked, tilting her head to the side. Alice nodded and the
waitress left. I stared in shock at the little pixie-like person that sat opposite of me. I
didn't realize I was gawking at her until Edward began to shake my shoulder. "Bella,
Bella?" he looked worried. Just then, Lydia came back with the skinny-latte-cinnamon-
thing. I looked at Alice then I looked at the coffee, then back at Alice. "What is this?" I
asked dumbfounded. I didn't even know you could order coffee like that; if it was coffee.
