Back to Bella's Point of View

"Edward. No." I glared up at him. His face had that mischevious crooked grin that usually made my heart flutter. Not this time.

He held the necklace out to me once again. "Bella, love. It's a hand-me-down."

"Edward Cullen don't tell me that. I SAW the Tiffany's box in the drawer. I'm pretty certain that the box would not have been so perfectly preserved, or exactly the same as it is now, since 1918." He raised an eyebrow.

"How do you know what a Tiffany's box looks like?"

"Hello, do you not know how many times I've been shopping with Alice in the past two months? I do pay attention sometimes you know." I waited for a witty comment to come back, but he had nothing. "Oh, my god." I stared up at him. "Did I actually win that one?"

Edward winced and sighed. "Unfortunately." He'd been trying to get me to wear a diamond necklace. It would go perfectly with my dress, he was right about that. It matched my ring too, but seriously, on a necklace, I had to draw the line at 5 diamonds. This one had at least 15. I didn't even want to know a ball-park estimate of how much that thing had cost.

The wedding was now a week away and I was being sent with Alice, Angela, Esme and Rosalie. Since we had Angela going, I wasn't too concerned about anything involving any foreign countries. If she hadn't been there I would have been concerned.

Edward sighed and opened the drawer next to his bed to pull out the box. One look at the box had told me I was correct, it wasn't a hand-me-down. "Do you even realize how difficult you make things for me?" He asked as he laid the necklace out inside the box.

"Do you even realize how ridiculous that necklace is?" I shot back.

"Bella." He stopped when I made a face at him. It was incredibly juvenile, but I didn't care. He laughed. "That was an adorable face." I made it again and he swiftly bent down and kissed my lips lightly.

After a few seconds, before I could try to cross the boundary lines he'd drawn for us, he pulled away. "I'm not finished." I protested.

He chuckled and kissed my forehead. "Sorry love, but you have to be. It's time to leave."

I sighed and allowed him to take my hand so he could pull me down the stairs. When we got to the living room, all of the others were standing around waiting for us. "It's about time!" Alice exclaimed. "We have to go get Angela, and then it's time for girls' night!"

"Are you going to tell me what we're doing?" I asked.

"Nope!" She grinned at me.

She grabbed my hand away from Edward and led me to the front door. "Alice! Will you relax? Please? You have all the time in the world in case you'd forgotten." I said, protesting.

"Yes, but you and Angela don't." She reminded me.

I gave up and looked behind me to see everyone laughing. Esme and Rosalie followed us out the door to Rosalie's convertible. Alice still wasn't allowed to use her Porche around Forks, and since everyone had already seen Rose's care at school, it didn't really matter if we used hers. Alice pushed me into the backseat before sliding in next to me. Esme climbed into the passenger seat and Rosalie settled behind the steering wheel. "Will someone please tell me what's going on?" I practically begged.

"It's okay Bella," Esme smiled. "We'll only be going to Port Angeles."

"Are you sure?" I glared at Alice.

"Well, if we didn't have Angela, we probably would be going a whole lot farther, but..." She trailed off, flashing a very smug grin at me.

As Rosalie pulled into Angela's driveway, Alice bounced out of the car and up the front walk to ring the doorbell. Angela answered almost immediately and followed Alice back to the car. She slid into the car after Alice and laughed at the horrified expression I must have still had on my face.

"Do you know where we're going too?" I questioned.

"Of course Bella, I helped Alice pick it out." She teased.

I groaned. "You have got to be kidding me. This is globally unfair."

"Oh, come on Bella, it's not that bad. I promise."

"With my luck you guys are probably taking me to Chippendale's or something."

Angela and Alice exchanged a look. "Weeellllll..."

I sat up. "Alice! No! With Esme?" Esme started laughing from the passenger seat, Rosalie had an amused smile.

"What Bella? Can't I enjoy cute boys with good bodies too?" I stared at her, openmouthed. "I'm kidding honey, we're not taking you to Chippendale's."

I sighed in relief. "I hate you all, just to let you know." I said glaring at all of them except for Rosalie, who hadn't done anything to fuel their fun. "So, would anyone like to tell me where we're actually going?"

"We're going to dinner and a movie." Alice said, half-smiling up at me. "Of course I'd have planned something more...elaborate, but Edward told me to plan something you'd approve of."

I laughed a little at this. "Well, elaborateness isn't exactly my style you see..." I teased Alice lightly.

"I know." She sighed, looking truly disappointed.

I hadn't really been thinking about where we'd be eating all that much, but when we got to Port Angeles and Rosalie had parked the car, it took me a second to relax. "Alice..." It was the resteraunt where I'd first eaten with Edward.

"I thought it was fitting. It was the place of the first step of your relationship. Why shouldn't it be the second?" I hugged her enthusiastically and she laughed.

We went inside. At this moment, I wondered exactly what the three vampires were going to do while Angela and I ate. I also wondered what their excuse would be. As we sat down, I was still dwelling on this. "Hey, I'm Amber, how are you ladies tonight?" My head snapped up when I heard that. It was the same server from that first night. I almost started laughing. Alice caught my eye and gave me a thumbs up.

"Well, Amber, we are great. My friend Bella here is getting married." Alice smiled up at the girl.

"How wonderful!" She eyed the ring on my finger.

"Like it?" I asked, holding it out for inspection.

"It's beautiful."

"I know. My fiance is wonderful." Rosalie gave a little cough to hide the amusement on her face.

"Do I know him?"

"I don't know." Alice piped up. She took a picture from her wallet and held it out to the girl. "Have you ever met him?"

"Oh. Well, I think I've seen him before, It'd be a bit hard to forget that face." The girl's eyes were popping out of her head as she looked from the picture to me and back again.

"Oh, believe me, I know." I smiled sweetly and she handed the picture back to Alice reluctantly.

"Can I get you some drinks to start off with?" I ordered ice water, Alice ordered pink lemonade, Rosalie ordered raspberry iced tea, Esme wanted sweetened tea, and Angela got coke. I was still a little concerned about what Rosalie, Alice, and Esme planned on doing with the drinks, but I decided that they must have had some kind of plan.

While we waited for Amber to bring out drinks out, we laughed about what we thought the boys were doing. Ben had been included in the bachelor party since he was a groomsmen, so they weren't doing anything too drastic.

When our drinks came out, and Amber had taken our food orders, I looked over at Angela. She was so sweet, she'd been a real friend, especially after Edward left. I was trying to imagine what she would be like after Edward and I 'died', but I couldn't. I'd never seen her sad or unhappy. Trying to picture it was like trying to picture an elephant doing back hand-springs; impossible.

Hey everyone,

for all of those who don't know,

Chippendales is like the

female version of Hooters.

If you don't know what that is,

sorry. I won't go into any more detail.

I know that I kind of stole the "fake our deaths" thing.

Sorry.

It was just a really good idea.

If you noticed I kind of tried to make the drink orders

reflect each person (or vampire's) personality.

Like it?

A.) Yes

B.) No

C.) Maybe?

Get back to me

xoxo
