Author's Note: Okay guys, like I said, I will post the other two chapters later today, but I have to get some sleep. Be warned, this chapter is not my usual attempt at humor. This is total romantic fluff with a little humor at the beginning. And also be warned, the last time I wrote romance was with my first story, The Perfect Day?, and that's been a while, so it may be bad. But please review and tell me what you think. Even if it's a flame because you're mad at me for not updating.
Disclaimer: Once again, I do not and will never own Twilight or be Stephenie Meyer.

Renee: "Alice wouldn't let us do anything else. Every time we tried, she all but ripped our throats out."
Um…I really don't know. Maybe involving Bella's bachelorette party? Something for the wedding?
BPOV
"SURPRISE!"
"You guys really didn't have to do anything for me," I said as I turned a few shades redder.
"Don't be silly, Bella. What kind of future sister would I be if I didn't throw you a bachelorette party?" Alice replied.
"Um…a good one," I said. She knows I don't like parties, especially not when they're for me. Alice just rolled her eyes and went on with the party.
A Few Hours Later
I officially hate bachelorette parties. Thank god I'm only getting married once. Not only did I actually have to go to a party, my party. Not only did I get gifts, which I hate getting. Not only were said gifts extremely embarrassing lingerie sets. But she hired a stripper. A FREAKING STRIPPER! What was she thinking?
Remembering the party
I was just starting to have a little fun and I relaxed, enjoying the party. It was less horrible than I thought it would be. I was having a good time, talking to all my friends and family. Then that fateful knock sounded. "I'll get it," I offered while Alice smiled that devilish pixie smile of hers. Hmmm, something was definitely up. I answered the door and felt my heart drop.
"Excuse me, miss, but I've received a complaint of excessive noise. Keep it down, please," the cop said.
I was confused. "Sir, no one lives near here for miles. And we're not even playing any music."
"May I step in for a minute?"
"Uh, sure, I guess."
He came in the house and all of a sudden all the girls started giggling. Then he walked over to the radio Alice had brought out, and suddenly, it clicked. Oh God, this was not happening. Alice did not hire a male stripper.
Sadly, she did. He started dancing to that God awful music and…ugh. Finally, after a few bad dance moves and strip teases, my horror was over. "Guys! How could you do that to me?!"
Alice, Angela, and Esme all tried to suppress their laughter. "I'm sorry sweetie," my mom said, "Alice wouldn't let us do anything else. Every time we tried, she all but ripped our throats out."
Breaks reverie
"Goodnight, Bella!" Angela and Renee called as they walked out the door. Esme said the same and headed upstairs.
"Now see, was that so bad?" Alice asked.
"Yes, absolutely horrible. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to test Edward's self control with my new gifts."
She laughed as I walked upstairs and I smiled deviously for what I was about to do. I walked into Edward's room, where he lay on his bed listening to Claire de Lune from his stereo. "Hey," I said.
"Hey."
"I'm gonna change into my pajamas real quick."
"Ok."
After putting on one of my embarrassing gifts, I slowly opened the door and walked even more slowly to face a waiting Edward. He let out a low growl from his chest as he saw me. "Thought you'd like it," I said as I casually walked over and lied down next to him as if everything was perfectly normal.
I waited for him to say something, and when he didn't a snuck a look at his face. He was looking at me intently, probably a little more than he should be, as I lay there in my lingerie. I blushed and quickly looked down. He growled again slightly before leaning over and taking my face in his hands. I saw nothing but pure love and unfulfilled lust in his eyes. "Bella," he began, "don't be embarrassed. You are absolutely beautiful."
"Thank you," I mumbled.
"Are you deliberately underestimating my self control?"
"That's kinda what I was going for, yeah."
"You're very good at it."
I blushed again and tried to pull my face away but he held it there. I looked into his eyes again and saw more wanting. He leaned in a captured my lips in a sweet, soft kiss before pulling away to look at me again. I said and did nothing as I watched his eyes reluctantly linger over my body again. He kissed me again, this time more passionately. As always, I pushed the limits first and brought both of my hands to sit on either side of his neck. His hands went from my neck to my shoulders, down my arms, then to my waist, finally resting on my bare back, pressing me into his chest and holding me there. I felt his icy tongue dart out and skim my bottom lip and I felt my entire body shudder. He ended the kiss so I could breathe and moved his lips down to my neck and collarbone.
I caught my breath after a minute or two. With me still in his arms he lay back on the bed and held me next to him, humming my lullaby as I drifted to sleep. I officially love bachelorette parties.
I kinda liked this chapter. But it doesn't matter what I think, it's what you, the lovely readers think. So tell me. Your opinion is crucial. See, I just made you feel special, so reward me with a review.
