Chapter Six

Bella's POV:

I watched as Edward walked through the door with his shoulders slumped. Alice and Rosalie snickered. Esme walked over and smiled.

"Now, be nice."

"Oh we are," Alice said with a grin, "Emmett and Jasper won't be." That grin turned less angelic and it made me nervous because she turned those gold eyes to me. My eyes widened and I looked down. Esme patted my shoulder gently.

"I'll make sure they play nice." There was hint of teasing in her voice.

"When will Edward be back?" I asked timidly. Alice laughed.

"Soon enough." She grabbed my hand and pulled me up the stairs and into her room. Rosalie followed at a slower pace followed by Esme.

Alice had turned her room into a salon complete with shelves of nail polish, a large lit vanity and everything needed to style hair imaginable. I groaned. This was a makeover session. I looked at Alice and pleaded mentally for her to rethink this.

"We need to figure out a hairstyle, makeup and nail color for the wedding!" she said enthusiastically. I winced. Oh no. She grabbed my hand and sat me down in the chair. She pulled up a chair next to me and grabbed my right hand. Her nose wrinkled, "When did you last have your nails done?"

"I've never had my nails done." I told her. She looked up at with her eyes wide in horror.

"Alice." Esme warned. Alice grabbed a set of tools that looked a little menacing and started to work on my hands. I felt a brush in my hair and tried to look back. My head was instantly turned back toward the mirror.

"Just keep looking forward." Rosalie stated. I looked down shocked. Rosalie was working on my hair? Rosalie didn't talk to me, let alone touch me and now she was working on my hair. I looked back up in the mirror and watched as my hair was twisted into coils and curls. I kept my mouth shut because I knew I would just complain. This wasn't fun at all. It only got worse as Alice and Esme "discussed" my makeup. It was more Alice whining about her "vision" and how purple or blue tinted glitter eye shadow wouldn't go with my dress. I bit my lip. Glitter? What are they doing to me?

As Esme and Alice went over to the corner to dig through her makeup kit, Rosalie stopped playing with my hair. I looked in the mirror to find it an elegant pile of curls on the top of my head. She made a disapproving noise and suddenly my hair fell around my face. She started working again pulling out a straightener this time.

"The best thing to do is just nod and go with it." She said softly, "Trust me, she can only get worse." I snickered.

"Alice gets worse? No way."

She laughed a little, "Oh trust me. You think it's bad now? She's like the wedding planner from hell." I laughed.

"Hey! I heard that!" Alice hissed walking back over.

I laughed even harder and Rosalie had to grab my shoulder to keep the straightener from burning my neck. I knew she had to be grinning smugly as Alice sat down in her chair with a huff.

"It's not that funny." She whined. I just smiled but it faded as Esme started to put makeup on me. I don't know why they skipped binding me to the chair with rope but it probably would have helped their cause. I couldn't help but flinch with any tool that Alice used or the eyelash curler Esme wielded.

"Bella! I don't want to screw up your nails!" Alice griped.

"You're cutting me!"

"It's just your cuticle. Your nails will be so pretty when I'm done!"

I moaned. All of a sudden Alice snickered. Rosalie and Esme looked at her confused.

"Emmett broke the door to the dressing room."

"What?!" Rosalie snapped, "That oaf!"

"Is everything okay?"

"Oh Carlisle patched everything up. Emmett and Edward almost got into a brawl. He almost ripped his tux too. Bella, you need to keep Edward on a tighter leash."

I laughed, "Yeah, like I have any control over him."

After a few more minutes of frantic hair and makeup changes, I heard Emmett's Jeep pull up. Rosalie fixed my hair so it was only slightly curly and Esme washed the makeup off my face. My nails were dry and Alice pulled me downstairs. Rosalie dashed past and I heard a sound smack and her shouting. Esme walked by on her way toward Carlisle who looked thoroughly annoyed by the whole situation but smoothed his expression over. Alice leaned against the banister.

"So," she called to Edward as he walked in, I couldn't help but smile seeing him, "You guys had some fun, huh?" I smirked looking at her.
