Wedding Day:
Bella's P.O.V.
Being bombarded with hugs isn't exactly new for me ever since Jasper proposed. The hugs have been much tighter now that I was an indestructible vampire. After about 2 years, I was able to interact with people. My control has been very good and I loved the proud face that Jasper held for me.
My gift was empathy. I was an empath just like Jasper. And I must say, I never thought it would be so fun to mess with people.
Jasper and I had to have time to control our lust. I just couldn't wait until the honeymoon. But I guess I have to.
Just then, Alice walked in.
''Bella, I am truly sorry. We should've put up more of a fight. Instead, we just went along with it. And I am sorry for helping Edward cheat on you. It was a mistake and I hope you can forgive me. I love you, Bella. I wish only the best for you and Jasper.''
I closed my eyes, took in a deep breath, and reopened my eyes.
''Okay, come on. Give me a well-deserved hug.'' I responded with my arms opened wide.
She walked human speed as if not to startle me and pulled me into a warm hug.
We stayed there like that for a few minutes until we were rudely interrupted by Emmett.
''I hate to break up your little reunion here, but Charlie and Renee are waiting to see Bells.'' Emmett called from the doorway of Alice's bedroom.
''You're right, let them in.'' I told him. He nodded and motioned them to come in.
''Oh, you look just so beautiful!'' Renee said starting to cry.
''Thanks, you look wonderful too, mom.'' I replied. She walked over to me and attempted to give me a hug but failed due to Alice.
''No smudging her makeup!'' Oh, Alice, Alice, Alice.
I sighed and shook my head at her. ''What, oh what are we going to do with you?'' She just grinned and walked off.
I looked over to Charlie who was standing in the doorway. I opened my arms and just as he was about to come in for a hug, I heard Alice scream, ''DON'T YOU DARE!''
I sighed once more and hung my arms to my sides as did Charlie.
''Sorry Bells, but I'm scared of her.'' I chuckled at that comment. Someone would have to be mentally challenged to not be afraid of Alice.
''IT'S TIME!''Alice beamed as she entered once again. She was wearing a beautiful purple mini-dress and held a bouquet of white and red roses. She walked to my side and handed them to me. I smiled a nervous smile as the music began. Renee raced out of the room and outside to take her seat. Charlie stepped up to me, holding out his arm.
''Okay, I'm ready. Just don't let me fall.'' I cautioned.
He smirked and replied, ''Never,'' and off we walked after Alice.
Alice just had to walk like a ballerina. I probably look somewhat awkward compared to her. We paused by the back door while Alice made her way up the isle and took to her position. The music switched to a bridal marched that caused everyone to plant eyes on me.
But I wasn't looking at them. I kept my eyes glued on Jasper. He looked so handsome. He had his beautiful blond hair slicked back neatly and he was wearing a really nice suit and-oh no. He caught on to my emotions and grinned a very sexy smirk. I was absolutely positive that my face was a deep red.
I was so annoyed that the march had to be so slow. I had to use all my strength to not just run over to Jasper and force the words out of the preacher's mouth.
Finally! Charlie and I had made it to the alter. Charlie kissed my forehead and gave my hand to Jasper. He smiled as Jasper took my hand and patted him on the back. Charlie took a seat on the other side of Renee that wasn't occupied by Phil.
I could tell that Charlie like Jasper much more than Eddie. Who can blame him? No one can. It would be impossible for anyone not to like Jasper's southern gentleman personality that just so happened to come with a charm.
I didn't even pay attention to the preacher as he spoke the lines. Though Jasper did have to rub my hands with his thumbs when the he said, 'Speak now or forever hold your peace.'
Thankfully, everyone remained silent and the ceremony continued.
My heart started to swell as Jasper said his vows. He said each one with love and care as he sent those exact emotions to me as if to prove that he loved me and meant every word he spoke.
When it came my turn to speak my vows, I instantly became excited to show Jasper how much I love him.
I know that if he could cry, he would. Tears of venom that would never flow filled in his eyes. I thought that they would break through as I said those three special words with so much feeling. I made sure he knew that I loved him more than my own life; more than anyone else in the entire universe.
As soon as the preacher said, 'You may now kiss the bride,' his lips were pressed firmly against mine. We had to break that magical moment after a minute. As soon as we broke off, applause and cries erupted from the crowd that I had no idea was there. I was so caught up in the moment that my life only revolved around Jasper and there was nobody else around.
Once everyone had given us hugs, we walked over to the dance floor. The song, 'You Are So Beautiful.'
He started to sing softly in my ear. I shivered as his cold breath traveled down my neck
'You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful to me'
We danced until the song was over. Alice announced that it was time for the cake. Jasper groaned in protest but of course, he was no match for Alice. She pushed him to the big cake as I followed.
He went first at feeding me cake. He did it as gently as possible and he kissed the cake that fell on my bottom lip. The cake was absolutely disgusting. Well, for a vampire.
When I fed him his share of cake, I tried to feed him as little as I could. I licked the cake off of his lips and he smiled pulling me back to the dance floor once again.
The song 'Mine' played as we waltzed across the dance floor. Jessica and Mike just glared at us while Angela seemed so happy for us. She was such a great friend.
When the song was over, we had to separate to give Charlie his father-daughter dance.
I leaned my head against his shoulder. If I could, tears would be streaming down my face.
''I love you, Bells. The house is going to be lonely without you. I'll have to survive off of my own cooking.'' He said jokingly. Oh no, he was right. How will he ever survive eating something that he cooked-or attempted to cook?
''I can imagine that.'' I replied. I could feel his chest shake with laughter.
''I never thought letting you go would be this hard. My only daughter marrying a great man.'' I looked up at him in shock. He likes Jasper?
''You should listen to yourself. You sound like Mom.'' I said now laughing. We continued to dance for a while when Emmett showed up. He tapped Charlie on the shoulder.
Charlie turned around to see Emmett grinning like an idiot.
''Hey, don't you think that her new big brother should get a dance?'' Charlie chuckled and handed me over to Emmett. Great. Thanks Dad.
Charlie walked over to Billy and Sue. I had to turn my head because they reminded me of Jacob. I know that he hated Edward. Or any vampire or Cullen's for that matter.
I looked up at Emmett who was looking down on me with concern in his eyes.
''Are you okay, Bella? I didn't think that you hated me that much. Is dancing with me really that bad?'' He asked, hurt. His emotions said the same thing.
''Awe, Em. No! I love you. You are the best big brother ever!'' I said as I gave him a bear hug.
''Even though…I don't…need…to, I…would like to ….breathe.'' He said. I instantly dropped my arms but his hands remained on my waist.
''Come on, Bells. I still want to dance with my little sister.'' I could tell that he like being a big brother, since Alice is technically older than him. We danced for two songs and I actually enjoyed it but I was missing Jasper.
I spotted him talking to Charlie. Wow, I guess they really do like each other. I sent all the love I could to him and his head snapped up as he searched for me. When he saw me, he smiled and said goodbye to Charlie.
Then, a slow song started to play. Jasper approached us and he held out his hand for me.
''May I have this dance?'' He asked. I nodded excitedly but Emmett seemed more reluctant.
Once I was safe in Jasper's arms, Alice yanked us apart.
''It's time to go, you guys!'' She argued. She didn't have to tell me twice. I was looking forward to this. Jasper smirked down at me and I gave him a small smile in return.
He sighed and we walked with our fingers entwined to Jasper's car. He helped me in and walked over to the other side of the vehicle at human pace. Once we were situated, he turned on the engine and as we pulled away, applause erupted. I looked out to see Renee crying, Esme dry-sobbing, Alice waving excitedly, Emmett clapping and raising his eyebrows suggestively, and Edward glaring. Alice smacked him in the head. He wrapped his arms around her but kept glaring at us.
Once we were out of sight of the crowd, Jasper sped up to a good 120mph.
I couldn't help but bounce up and down in my seat.
On the way, we made a stop in Colorado so we could hunt and board the plane. We kept silent but we still held hands. When he squeezed my hand, I knew it wouldn't be much longer before we get to where ever he was taking me.
Suddenly, we stopped in front of a trail. I looked at him curiously and he just said, ''We'll be running the rest of the way. Well, I will.'' He said. He smiled evilly and threw me on his back. Before I had a chance to process what was going on, we had already started running.
Way too soon, we stopped. We were in front of some beautiful big house. I looked around and saw that we were in a field. Not far from the house, there was a huge lake. I smiled up at Jasper who had been staring at me, watching my reaction.
''Is this it?'' I asked. Please say yes. Please say yes. I chanted in my head. He nodded and said, ''Yep, this is it! Do you like?'' Like he needed to ask.
''No… I LOVE IT!''I yelled. I ran towards the house and spun around like a little girl.
My little dance was interrupted by Jasper. He picked me up bridal style and walked in. The house looked like something out of a fairytale. It was gorgeous. I wondered around while he went to grab the bags.
The first room I walked into was the bedroom. There was a bed with green bedding that had white flowers. The walls were a brownish color and the plush carpet was white and fluffy.
I felt warm hands on my shoulders. I instantly knew it was Jasper.
''Mmm…'' I murmured as he massaged my shoulders. For a human, that would be an impossible task. He picked me up again and spun me around.
''I love you, Bella.' 'he sighed as he put me down. I clung on to him, not quite ready to let go.
''Do you want to go for a swim?'' He asked. I couldn't find the words so I just nodded. He untangled my arms from his neck and walked over to the double-doors that I hadn't noticed were there.
I watched him walk out the door and take his shirt off. He was absolutely gorgeous. I stalked off to the bathroom and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I took a few deep breaths.
Okay, let's do this.
