______________________________________________________________________________
*BPOV*
I was walking around back stage during the fashion show trying to find another model when I suddenly caught a glimpse of bronze hair.
"Edward!" I called out while making my way down towards him"Edward" I called again as I got closer.
He turned around with a big smile on his face and said "Oh my gosh Bella! Darling"as he said this he kissed both sides of my cheeks and pulled me into a hug. There was something that didn't fit. His voice seemed to be off and why did he seem taller?
"What's wrong with your voice? And you look taller" I asked him still from his embrace
"What do you mean babes?" It was still off . . . I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I pulled away so I could get a good look at him. What I saw shocked the hell out of me. I think my jaw might have unhinged itself with how far open it fell. He was wearing a pink polo shirt with the top buttons undone and a pair of light wash denim jeans. But as soon as I got down to his feet I had to do a double take. For GOD'S sake he was wearing pink stilettos the same color as his shirt . . . STILETTOS I SAY!
Why is he wearing them . . . OH NO! I started shaking my head in a 'no' motion and when I looked back up at him he was nodding his head 'yes' as if he could tell what was on my mind. Everything fell into place his voice, the clothes, THE SHOES!
"No" I said
"Yes" He said
"No"
"Yes"
"It can't be" I said as I looked up at him
"Oh but it is" He replied
"You're . . . you're . . . " I couldn't finish the sentence
"GAY!"He finished for me.
"Nooooooo! ......." I shouted as I fell to my knees with my hands in the air pointing to the heavens.
"Yessssss! ....." He yelled as he laughed evilly when suddenly it became a tinkling kind of laugh which sounded oddly familiar. Huh that's weird
"He he he" there it goes again
"This is too funny what do you think she is dreaming of?"
"I have no idea but what she said in her sleep was so freaking funny Rosalie. At one point she yelled 'Stilettos I say'." And there goes the laughing again only louder. I felt my eyebrows furrow in confusion.
"Bella?" someone shook me "Bella we know you're awake. Open your eyes Bella"
I slowly opened my eyes to find Alice and Rosalie looking at me with amusement written all over their faces. Which only confused me "What?" I asked "Why are you guys looking at me like that?"
"What were you dreaming of Bella?" Rosalie asked trying to hide her chuckles.
"Why?" I asked not knowing why they where so curious as to what I dreamed.
"No reason just curious" Alice said with a big grin
"Okay . . . Ummm well it was a really weird and random." I began to tell them what my dream had been about. The whole time I started telling them their shoulders were shaking violently. I was almost done with it when Alice just burst out laughing only to cause Rosalie to snort and then start laughing herself. I didn't continue to say anything till they were done.
"Can I continue?" I questioned trying to sound stern but my lips were twitching to fight off my smile. The dream was pretty freakin' funny and random to say the least.
"Yes" Alice squeaked out trying to calm herself. So I went ahead and began to tell them the end of the dream. As soon as I finished telling them we were all laughing hysterically on mine and Alice's bed. When we finally stopped and relaxed ourselves Alice spoke.
"That was just priceless. Anyway CAN YOU BELIEVE TODAY IS THE DAY!" Alice squealed.
"I know I'm so excited! It's our time to shine girls" Rosalie answered with a beautiful smile.
"Me too im so excited. I hope they like the designs."
"They will trust me I know." Alice said tapping her fingers to her temple. Rosalie and I chuckled.
"Of course you do little pixie with all your magical ways" Rose laughed
"What time is it anyway?" I asked not realizing till now I never saw what time I woke up.
"You actually woke up early for once and on your own I might add. Good job Bella" Alice laughed as they both gave me claps. To which I scowled at them
"Hey! I have been up this early before."
"Sure Bella Sure." They laughed. Humph.
"Whatever" I grumbled under my breath
"Soo . . . It's about 8:30 now so that means you woke up like at around 7:00am. We should start getting ready. What do you guys say to breakfast?" Alice asked us as we nodded and told her what we wanted for breakfast. As soon as I told her what I wanted for breakfast I made my way to take a shower. Knowing that by the time I finished taking one, the food would be here. Thirty minutes later I was in my undergarments looking for something to wear for later on in the evening. I was looking through all the clothes I brought with me when a sudden urge to listen to music came to mind.
"Ali?!" I yelled
"What?!" She answered back
"Can you put on some music?!" I called back to her
"Yea sure hold on!"
"Thank you Ali! Love you!"
"Your welcome and love you too!"
I started swaying my hips when I heard the beat of the drums to a familiar song come on.
"Shout when you wanna get off the ride
shout when you wanna get off the ride
shout when you wanna get off the ride
cos it crossed my mind
it crossed my mind
made my blood thump 7-8-9
made my heart beat double time
now I'm the only sour cherry on the fruit stand, right ?
am I the only sour cherry on the fruit stand?"
I continued to sway my hips to the song. A short while later our food arrived and this time Rose went to go pay for it. Since she was covered with a robe and I was still in my underwear and Alice was in the shower. Rosalie and I set up the table after I put my robe on so when Ali came out we could all eat together.
"We should leave at around 1:00 so we could get everything set up. I want the show to go by smoothly." Rose said as we finished fixing the table.
I sat down at the table and replied "Yeah I think that would be a good idea."
"So what are you going to wear?" Rose asked
"Honestly I have no idea. After we eat im going to finish looking through everything I brought." She nodded as I said this "What about you Rose. What are you going to wear?"
She thought about it for a moment before speaking "I think im going to wear that red strapless dress with the black belt that's just right below the bust."
I nodded my approval "That sounds good" I smiled. After our little interaction we went into a comfortable silence listening to the music playing. A couple minutes later Alice emerged from the bathroom in her robe as well. She was making her way to the table when this song happened to just come on. Alice froze mid stride and as she looked at as broke out into hysterical laughter. We weren't that far behind her.
"One, two, ready go
I'm tired of boys who make me cry
They cheat on me and they tell me lies
I want a love who'll never stray
When he sees other girls, he looks away
And if he never kisses me, well that's alright
'Cos we can just cuddle all night
Gay boyfriend, gay boyfriend
I don't really care that you are queer
Gay boyfriend, gay boyfriend"
Alice had somehow managed to end up on the floor, while Rosalie's head was face down on the table with her shoulders shaking violently with her laughter. I was holding my sides by the time we finished laughing.
"Priceless I tell you!" Alice shouted while still chuckling lightly. When we had finally calmed down enough to eat without being choked we dug into our breakfast. When we were finished, I went back to the bathroom to brush my teeth once again. When I came out, I began my search again for something to wear. Five minutes later I found the perfect dress. It was a navy blue dress the top part of it kinda looked like a bow but not quite. It had straps that were about an inch thick that were studded with red and brownish beads. There was a beautiful round pendent in the middle with little chains hanging from it that had jewels on them. It was perfect and I had the perfect shoes to go with them. I quickly changed into it before getting my hair done. Once I put the dress on, I quickly went to find Alice and Rosalie to see what they thought. As soon as they saw me, they both squealed.
"Bella that dress is perfect!" Alice grinned
"I absolutely love it Bella!" Rose smiled at me
"Thank you" I returned the gesture. I was finally able to take in what they were wearing. Wow was the first thing that came to mind. Rosalie was wearing the dress she explained earlier and it looked fabulous on her. She was also wearing red stilettos with a ribbon on the back of them. Alice was wearing a silver strapless dress with metallic lace embroidery layers on it. She looked beautiful in it. It was a big contrast to her jet black hair and made her gray eyes stand out more.
"Wow. Both of your dresses are wonderful. I love them!" I told them sincerely.
"Thank you!" they both said.
"Hey. Would one of you mind doing my hair for me?" I asked them
"I'll do it Bella. Rose still has to fix her hair but im done. All I need to do is put on my heels and do my make-up."
"Ok thank you Alice." She nodded her head and lead me back to the bathroom bringing a chair with her. It was silent while Alice was putting my hair in heat curlers. I kept on thinking about how today was going to go. I was pretty nervous despite Alice's confidence that they would enjoy it. I think part of my nerves were also do to the fact that Edward was going to be there as well. I wonder what he is going to think?
As if Alice could tell what my thoughts were she spoke "Bella you need to relax. Trust me there going to like it. Edward is going to like it too. You need to have some faith."
I sighed "I know Ali. I don't even know why im acting like this."
"It's all right just breath in and out ok?" I nodded my head. When we finished talking she had finished putting all of my hair in the curlers. She asked me if I wanted her do my makeup and I told her that she could do it. Soon after Alice had finished my makeup Rosalie came in looking like the Goddess she was. Her hair was brought to the side in a side ponytail in curls with her bangs straight. Her makeup was flawless of course.
"Dang! Rose you look hot!" I smiled as Alice commented on how she looked as well.
"Thank you!" She chuckled. After our appraises she told Alice that she would finish up with my hair so she could go do her makeup. Rosalie started taking the rollers out of my hair. Once she was finished, she ran her fingers through it to fluff it up a bit.
"All done" She smiled. I got up and turned to her to give her a hug.
"Thanks Rose." I replied.
"You're welcome. By the way you look pretty freakin darn hot yourself." She grinned
"Why thank you." I grinned as I gave her a curtsy. I went to go put on my shoes while Alice was finishing up. We went to go wait by the door when Alice came out only seconds later. She had put on a pair of black 'Tocarra' Steve Madden shoes. They matched the dress she was wearing completely.
"Wow Alice. You look Gorgeous." Rosalie and I complemented. She chuckled and told us that we did too.
The drive to the show room only took about 30 minutes . . . ok fine 40 if you include the 10 minutes I tried to talk to the cab driver in my bad French. The whole time Alice was bouncing like she had sniffed pixie sticks or some shit from the way she was hopping all over the place. Some times I wonder . . . On the other hand Rosalie was positively beaming with pride. I can only assume I had a big ol' shit eating grin on my face too. Once we made it we were escorted to the back part of the building where a bouncer was taking names of designers. When we reached him his head his head was still down looking at the list he had in his hands. Rosalie ended up clearing her throat to get his attention. Immediately he looked up with wide eyes as he stared us down making me blush. He was starting to apologize to us for not noticing us when out of nowhere Rose slapped him across the face.
"What the Heck Rose?!" I shouted. I looked up at her to find her glaring at the bouncer. When I looked toward him his eyes where even wider than before clearly from the shock.
"What do you mean 'what the heck Rose'?!" she seethed "I thought I heard him say something about being naked with him or something like that." I looked at her incredulously before I started laughing. I looked back up to find everyone looking at me like I was crazy. I turned to the bouncer and explained that she didn't know any French and that she thought that he had disrespected us. When I finished telling him in my crappy French he let out a big belly laugh and told me he understood. I told him who we were and he let us in still chuckling. When we reached backstage Alice and Rose pounced.
"What was that about?" Alice asked confusedly as I chuckled lightly once again.
"What are you laughing about Swan?" Rose shot an angry look in my direction.
"He was just apologizing for not noticing that we were standing there!" I laughed "And then you go and slap the poor unsuspecting man!" This caused Alice to laugh
"Whatever. He deserved it." She said
"For what?!" Alice Chuckled.
"Well didn't you see him ogling us?!" She shot back
"Yes I did. But I don't think he deserved to be bitch slapped by you!" By that point I was trying to repress back the multiple giggles that were threatening to come forward. Alice on the other hand couldn't do it as her bell chime laugh rang through backstage.
"As I said whatever." She told us "So. . . . Let's get this thing rolling. We still need to make sure everything is here and in order. We only have one and a half hours to prepare before the models get here so we can get them dressed with hair and makeup." Alice and I both nodded.
For the time we had before the models arrived we went through every single rack of outfits to make sure everything was in place. When we were finally finishing up, the models and makeup artist as well as the hair dressers started showing up. We informed them of how we would like their hair and makeup to be and told them if they could get started on the ones that were already here. I was starting to get really nervous when only an hour and a half more remained till the show would start. By that time all the models were here and were either being dressed or getting attention on their hair or face. By four thirty I was a nervous wreck. I think Alice and Rosalie were feeling the same way as we fluttered around checking to make sure everything was in place. And my nerves continued to grow as I began to hear the audience fill the seats in front of the run way. Oh God please don't let me have a mental break down. Especially if Edward is out there . . . I thought. Woah why does he keep on popping into my mind I've only just really met him yesterday?
Jeeze can you be any slower!
What are you talking about?
Oh lord . . . you're seriously slow. I think the picture for the Pokemon card of slowpoke needs to be replaced with a picture of you.
What? . . .Pokemon?
See what I mean.
Shut up!
*cue Pokemon theme* I choose you slowbell
What the hell are you talking about?
Oh come on! Because. You. Like. Him! Is that clear enough for you?
But in jus-
Shhh
Bu-
No just shhh
. . .
Finally!
Could I really like him within just one day of meeting him? Oh my gosh I DO! How the hell did that happen? I was broken out of my thoughts by Rosalie and Alice coming up to me telling me the show was about to start in five minutes.
"Ok I know we are all nervous about this so lets just take in deep calming breaths. Woooo saaaa, Wooo saaaaa." Alice tried to relieve our nerves which actually did help a little.
"Thanks Alice that Helped" I said as I hugged her.
"Ok Show time ladies!" Rose Bellowed out. She turned to us and gave us each a hug. When we separated we all looked at each other and crossed our fingers with gigantic smiles on our faces. As soon as those exchanges took place we heard the announcer begin to announce our clothing line. I took in a deep breath as I heard the music start to play in. This is it! As soon as the
"Da-da,
Da-da, Da-da, Da,
Da-da, Da-da, Da-da, Da"
began the first model walked out strutting her stuff. I closed my eyes shut tight waiting for the response of the audience. Not a second later I heard loud claps and a very loud whistling coming from the other side of where I was. I had to laugh a bit you don't really hear whistles coming from the audience at a fashion show its usually just claps. I sighed in relief while I opened my eyesonly to be found getting tackled by my two friends who wore the biggest grins. I laughed quietly to myself as im sure their smiles matched my own.
"I told you!" Alice Squealed.
I laughed "I know" The models were quickly making there way onto the run way and off to get changed into another outfit. All in all this was turning out to be one of the best nights in my life.
The clapping never seemed to cease which I was grateful for. Occasionally I would hear the whistling again which made me wonder who was doing that. It was quite funny I can only imagine the looks that person was getting. The Fashion show finally ended with the announcer presenting us.
"These three lovely ladies go by the names Bella Swan, Alice Brandon, and Rosalie Hale." We all walked out of the curtain and onto the runway. As soon as we stepped out there was a roar of clapping. I think I was smiling so big that im surprised my face didn't split into two. I couldn't resist the urge I had to find Edward. I looked around the room but couldn't see him anywhere with all the flashing cameras. I could feel my face fall slightly with the thought that maybe he didn't make it. After a couple of chats with some news people we made our way to get off the platform. As we were walking down the steps me and the girls were so giddy that they had loved this line. We were already getting deals from some stores that want to seal our line there.
"We did it! I knew we would." Alice was so giddy.
"This is so freakin amazing! I love you guys!" Rose wrapped her arms around both of us and pulled us into a tight hug.
"This has seriously put me in the best mood. Im so happy right now!" I squealed.
When Rose finally let us go we continued to walk toward the end of the runway whenRose stopped short and gasped"OH!"
Alice must have seen what Rose was looking at and immediately stopped short "MY!"
"Sweet Jesus!" I gasped at the sight before me there stood Edward in all his gorgeous glory. I think I shuddered at the sight of him. He was wearing a very nice suit which I instantly recognized because it was one of our designs. His outfit was a pinstripe button up shirt with a orange tie. He also had on a black blazer the sleeves of the blazer and shirt wear semi rolled up to just before his elbow. As my eyes traveled down his body I saw that he also had on our designer slacks. Once I reached down to his shoes I noticed that he was wearing leather sneakers. I chuckled out loud at the realization that he wasn't wearing stilettos. As soon as I chuckled they noticed us and began walking towards us. I finally noticed the other two guys with Edward.
One of the guys was HUGE! He was very tall and muscle built. He had brown curly hair and his eyes wear a bluish green color. He choose to wear a white button up shirt with a red tie and a gray pinstripe suit. I had to say the suit fit him nicely. The other guy was tall and muscle built but not as tall or built like the other one. His hair was blonde and shaggy but in a way that suited him. He had a pair of bright hazel eyes. This guy was wearing a blue plaid shirt underneath a blue t-shirt. He also had on a black blazer with denim jeans and a pair of blue faded converse. I noticed that they too were wearing our creations.
Before they could reach us I looked at my best friends to find them ogling the guys.
"Are those Edwards friends?!" Rosalie whispered yelled. "Ungh the big one is so damn sexy."
"Im guessing that those are his friends one of which is his brother." I whispered back. Rosalie turned to look at me with a grin on her face.
"Damn Bella good job in giving them the tickets." I laughed at that and turned to look at Alice who was being too quite. When I saw her she was just staring wide eyed at the blonde haired guy. When I looked at him I noticed he too was staring right back at her.
"He's the one." Alice whispered
"What?" I asked
"He's my soul mate." She whispered while a big grin took over her face. I was about to say something else when from the corner of my eye I noticed a pair of green orbs traveling up and down my body. I looked at him until his eyes met mine his eyes were so intense that I shuddered and felt my knees weaken. I'm quite sure my face was a deep shade of red. They made it right in front us by this point.
"Hi Bella. Congratulations! The show was amazing." Edwards smile took my breath away. "Good evening Rosalie and Alice. You guys did a wonderful job."
"Thank you Edward." They both said not taking there eyes off the other males. I think Edward noticed their distraction because a beautiful smirk graced his lips.
"How rude of me. This is my brother Emmett." He said as he pointed to the big burly one was just gazing at Rose. " And this here is our best friend who is basically a brother to use Jasper." He smiled as he pointed to the blonde one. He looked at his friends and said " And this is Bella, Alice, and Rosalie"
