Quick Authors Note- I have a horrible cold and wrote this while on cold medicine (which in all honesty I feel makes me write funny). I sent it to my beta and she loved it though, so hopefully you will as well!

Chapter 11- The Reveal

Previously:

"I am not wearing that Alice!" Bella exclaimed "It has like NO back."

"That's kind of the point," Alice stated sounding annoyed "I thought you were going to trust me."

"I do trust you Alice," Bella stated pouting slightly before Alice interrupted.

"I even got small heels that not even you could trip in" Alice stated holding up a matching pair of shoes.

"I don't really even have a say do I?" Bella asked sighing as she pulled her hair back and stood up from the bed.

"Nope," Alice replied "we can do this the easy or the hard way, but one way or another you are coming with us tonight and you are wearing this dress."

"Fine," Bella replied throwing her hands in the air "I'm going to shower."

"You do that!" Alice called after her laughing.

--

Bella stood in front of the mirror staring at her reflection. She could feel the steady pounding of her heart matching the rhythm of the song that Alice was now blaring in the other room. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't believe that Alice had talked her into this. She was by no means a timid young girl anymore, but she still had some preservation skills left in her. Currently they were telling her that this was a very bad idea.

"Can you turn that radio down?" Bella asked noticing how nervous her voice sounded.

"Relax, Bella" Alice stated popping her head into the bathroom and looking her up and down "I am so getting a front row seat for this."

"Alice," Bella cried twirling once again and looking at the back of the dress "you are not helping."

"Do I need to get Jasper, Bella, or are you going to calm down on your own?"

Her breath came out shaky and for a moment she wondered if she was going to have a panic attack.

"Bella," Alice stated grabbing her friend's hands and pulling her into a hug "you look gorgeous, you have nothing to worry about, Edward is going to flip out, and you need to trust me."

Bella nodded her head softly turning and walking from the bathroom. Closing her eyes she steadied her breathing and took a moment to calm her nerves.

"Wait!" Alice squealed before tearing down the stairs in front of her. She could momentarily hear Alice reprimanding her brother to "stay out of her head" before calling Bella down the stairs.

She took the stairs slowly making sure to stay steady on the small heels Alice had put her in. She was momentarily grateful for the fact that Charlie was currently out fishing with Billy because she knew he would have a problem with her in this outfit.

She didn't even make it half way down the stairs before she could hear Emmett's cat calls and whistles and she chuckled silently thanking him for making light of the situation.

"Damn, Bella." Emmett called "Look at those legs."

She could feel her cheeks flush and she looked up from the stairs and into the eyes of the five people waiting at the bottom of the steps for her.

"Thanks, Emmett." Bella replied her blush becoming deeper red "I think."

"Oh trust me it is no problem." Emmett stated receiving a smack on the back of his head by Rose. Bella couldn't help but laugh. "What?" Emmett asked shrugging "Who knew running did a body such good."

"That's quite enough, Emmett." Edward stated scowling at his brother before turning to look at Bella and smiling brightly at her.

"You guys haven't even seen the best part!" Alice cried before looking at her brother and winking at him. "Turn around Bella."

Grabbing a hold of the railing so she didn't lose her balance Bella turned so they could all see the back of the dress. She was unprepared for the small moan that she faintly heard, and knew to belong to just one man.

She couldn't help the small smile that came upon her face but was surprised when a bright flash went off followed by a cracking noise.

Turning around she found a cell phone crumpled on the floor and a pouting Emmett looking down at it.

"What did you do, Emmett?" Bella asked.

"I was taking a picture" Emmett replied pointing to his cell phone in sadness. "Rose look what Edward did to my cell phone!"

Rose looked at him for a moment before shaking her head "serves you right!"

A small chuckle escaped Bella's lips at his childish antics before she made her way down the last two steps to meet the group her eyes never leaving Edwards.

Bella couldn't help but chuckle at the fact that Alice stood by Jasper hopping up in down in excitement. She took the last two steps to meet Edward and gently pulled him into a hug hearing him take in a large gulp of air.

"So," Bella stated looking up at him through her eyelashes "what do you think?" She could feel his cool breath on her cheek causing her heart to flutter, and she waited for his response.

"I think," Edward replied placing his hand on her bare back "I am going to be buying Alice a very nice present."

The little pixies bright squeal caused all of them to laugh and seemed to somewhat break the tension in the air that Bella was now feeling.

"Shall we be off?" Edward asked looking at his Alice for a moment before smiling and then nodding.

"No silent conversations!" Emmett called making a pouting face as he made his way to the door grabbing Bella and sticking his tongue out at Edward in the process.

"EMMETT" Bella yelled grabbing onto the hem of her dress and trying to keep herself covered "put me down!"

He just let out a jovial laugh as he carefully threw her in the front seat of the car causing her to squeal.

"Look it Eddie. I got her squealing for me already."

Bella could hear a low growl coming from the house and Emmett turned to look at her smiling and winking before running and hoping into his jeep to meet up with Rose.

She could hear Edward murmuring under his breath as he hoped in the car next to her before he growled once again.

"I can still hear you!" he scowled looking through his mirror "I wonder if Rose would like to know what you are thinking right now." After a moment of silence he smiled and stated "that's what I thought."

Turning to look at Bella he took a deep breath before leaning over and placing a gentle kiss on her lips.

"You look beautiful. I am sorry about him."

"Thank you," Bella replied blushing "its fine. He is just trying to get to you."

"That he is," Edward replied smiling softly "time to get food for the human."

Bella let out a gentle sigh causing Edward to turn and look at her.

"I didn't mean it like that." Edward stated frowning softly.

"I know," Bella replied turning to look at him more closely as he drove. "How did Alice get you to agree to this?"

"It's Alice," Edward replied smiling "she has her ways."

"I am well aware of her ways, Edward." Bella replied laughing "I am just wondering if you got the keys to your vanquish back."

"You know where the keys to my vanquish are?" Edward asked turning to look at her once again. His eyes were blacker and Bella wondered if it had to do with his car or the fact that they hadn't been in close proximity for awhile.

"Umm, no?" Bella stated "Alice told me that you were looking for them."

"Alice Cullen," Edward stated looking at the car in front of him and frowning. "I should have figured as much. Why is Alice picturing destroying my car in various ways?"

"No clue," Bella replied looking at the car in front of them and mentally reminding herself to apologize to Alice later. . Her cheeks flushed and she turned to look out the window, she was surprised to find that they were almost there.

Edward started chuckling softly and turned to look at Bella for a moment before pulling to a stop in front of the restaurant.

"Bella," Edward stated turning and placing a hand on her cheek.

"Yes?" Bella asked her cheeks flushing.

He leaned over and kissed her quickly but intensely. She felt her cheeks flush and her heart speedup.

"That dress is wonderful, but don't forget two can play at this game."

"What game?" Bella asked looking at him as he smirked and hopped out of the car walking around to open her door.

"Dinner awaits, love, let's go."
