Emmett POV
After Alice's terrifying outburst, the girls fell into polite conversation. My little pixie of a sister-in-law was never angry unless of course she was yelling at me for one of my pranks. The men sat in an awkward silence.
Jasper was staring at his plate while Edward was glaring daggers at me. What had I done to the guy! Sure, I danced with his little sister, but it's not as if I'd gotten on one knee and proposed to her!
Was it because I talked to her? Looked at her? She is pretty of course I was going to look There was nothing wrong with enjoying the banquet if you resisted the wine. But, no, he felt the need to insult me. I would have yelled at him defending myself and probably thrown a punch or two if Rosalie hadn't beaten me to it.
Ah women. One of God's greatest creations of course I was going to look. Although Rosalie was something else. She was witty and hot tempered, that was new. I found that I kept inventing ways to talk to her. Yea, this wine was going to be hard to resist.
Rosalie POV
I sat quietly listening to Alice describe the newest fashions in from Paris. Her eyes sparkling with excitement I would add comment when necessary, but otherwise sat in silent embarrassment. Edward and my argument in front of the hosts was very rude and I was not expecting an invitation back.
After dinner, Edward made a polite excuse to leave, probably sharing my embarrassment. We said our goodbyes; receiving another energetic hug from Alice, before climbing into the carriage. The ride home was completely silent and unlike the journey to the Whitlock, residence there was no playful cooing between Edward and Isabella.
When the carriage rolled to a creaking stop, our servants quickly opened the doors and I ignored their attempts to greet me storming up to my room.
"Draw a warm bath for me then leave!" I ordered Lucinda. She quickly rushed of to do as told.
Soon I was sighing in relief while I soaked away my stress. So much anger and frustration would cause early wrinkles on my perfect skin; Edward should be ashamed of himself. The thought of Edward sent a flash of read hot anger through me. He was such a fool! Who was he to talk about Emmett? He knew nothing about him, the only reason he knew Emmett's name was because Isabella was a friend of Alice. Edward was blind to the world outside his Isabella. It was disgusting, but enough of anger I need to calm down or I would not be able to sleep. I slowly stepped to of the tub and went to bed.
I awoke with a start to find a pair of bouncing topaz eyes in my face. Screaming I quickly jumped out of bed only to find a smiling, and still bouncing Alice sitting in the middle of my bed.
"How did you get in my room!" it seemed a reasonable question, but Alice stared at me as if I had grown another head.
"The maid let me in, silly," she said with a twinkling laugh. "Coe on, get dressed we need to go!"
"Why?"
Well, you obviously can't walk around London in your nightgown, now can you?"
"No, why do we need to leave?" I said slowly.
"Our reservations for tea are at noon and I want to shop for a few hours before hand. 'She scoffed as if it was obvious and then she was pushing me towards my wardrobe.
I picked out a soft pink dress with a darker pink stitched around the hem, but before I could walk behind my changing curtain, Alice called out for me to stop.
"No, not that one! Here wear this," she handed me another dress. It was a crisp, clean white with a wide bright blue ribbon around the waist. It was adorable. She matched it with a pair of white slippers with thin small blue bows and a white parcel. The end appearance was breathtaking, but what was the be expected, it was me.
"I don't remember owning these," I admitted to her.
"Of course not I bought them on the way over to collect you. They resemble mine," she laughed. Only then did I realize she was wearing an outfit very like mine only hers was a pale yellow with a pear green ribbon.
"Oh, thank you, it was very kind."
Alice smiled in return and then quickly pushed me over to my vanity mirror. "Good thing your hair has natural wave it will take less time to do your hair now."
It only took a few more minutes before Alice was pushing me into her carriage. My golden hair cascading around my shoulders, my cheeks with a slight pink blush and my lips full juicy and red. I was stunning as usual.
The carriage left us outside a small store selling ribbons, beads, and feathers. Alice could hardly contain her excitement as she looped her arm through mine and dragged us inside.
Alice instantly began grabbing things from the tables. Sometimes she would hold something up to my face, smile, and then add it to the basket she was carrying. I followed her around the store, stopping every so often to admire an item and consider buying it.
On one table sat a display of hair ribbons. One in particular stood out, a deep crimson red draped along with all the boring pastels. I picked it up eyeing it longingly; the red would be stunning against my golden hair.
Alice had noticed I was no longer beside her and she quickly came to see what had claimed my attention. Her eyes grew wide and she squealed.
"That will look gorgeous on you Rosalie! Oh and look, this black ribbon will accent it wonderfully. You simply must get it, give it here I'll add it to our basket." she reached out her hand, but I only smiled sadly before placing them on the table.
"I have nothing to wear them with."
"Well then we'll have to change that. A lovely red and black dress will bring out your hair and pale skin. It shall be strikingly beautiful. Oh, but wait red and black are associated with harlots. Why does society have to label everything with bad with such lovely colors? There has to be a way around this silly little annoyance." she stopped her rant pondering the question.
"Well what if there was a reason to dress that way?" I said with a sly smirk. An amazing idea had recently come to me.
"What are you proposing dear Rosalie?" Alice was bouncing with excitement.
"Its simple really a massacred of the seven deadly sins."
Alice's jaw dropped open. "That will be scandalous!"
"Exactly."
"Oh you are too perfect!"
"So you like my idea?"
"Of course! We'll start planning right away."
