Chapter 14: Shoe Shopping

-Bella's POV-

Once I got home, I was more excited about the wedding. I was supposed to hang out with Charlie for half an hour, and then go shopping with Alice. Edward wanted to come, but Rosalie and Alice managed to convince him to stay with the Cullen boys. Rosalie insisted on coming. She was going to help pick out the perfect shoes. Rosalie was being really nice and helpful lately. It took only a few minutes talking to Edward, convincing it was better if he wasn't involved.

I stared at the TV screen for the whole time when I was with Charlie. He sighed. "Alice should be here any second." The door bell rang. Right on time, I thought.

"I'll get it," I said. I opened the door. "Hey, Alice."

"You seem very enthusiastic today." I shrugged.

"Near death experiences must to that to me." Charlie lumbered over.

"Hey, Alice! How are you doing hon?"

"Fine, Charlie. How are you?"
"I'm glad Bella is hanging out with you tonight." I smiled.

"Dad, we probably should get going."

"Sure. See you later, Bells."

"Bye, Dad." I followed Alice to the car, realizing there was more than one vampire inside. I groaned.

"Edward didn't trust my vision. He thought you were going to through a temper tantrum."
"I was looking forward to have a girls' night out. I thought Rosalie convinced him to stay home."

"He just wants to make sure you're happy. Calm down, we'll drop him off at home first." I got into the car, and climbed into the back, next to Edward. He put his arm around my shoulder. I let my head drop onto his shoulder.

"I'm sorry I upset you," he said quietly.

"Edward, it's not your fault. I find it harder to say goodbye to you when I'm with you. I want to me married to you, so I don't ever have to say goodbye to you ever again."

"I want to be married too," he smiled. "You have no idea how I feel when Alice keeps me away from you." Alice turned around and stuck out her tongue. "I drive Emmett and Jasper crazy."

"Jasper doesn't like the way you feel. Anytime you're around him without Bella, he feels depressed. Edward, you need to learn how to control your emotions," Alice scolded.

"When Bella's a vampire, Jasper never needs to feel depressed around me again," Edward retorted. I liked how Edward said, 'when Bella is a vampire'. It made me feel reassured that he wanted me forever. Before long, we stopped in front of the Cullen's house. Edward kissed me.

"Bye, love."
"Bye Edward." He got up, and left. "Where are we going shoe shopping?" I asked.

"Port Angeles," Rosalie answered. "I know a great shoe store there." I groaned. The way she said it made me think the shoes were more than fifty dollars.

"I don't want that much money spent on me."

"Bella, relax. The shoes go perfectly with the dress, and Edward will love it." We got out of the drive way. I realized Alice was going slowly. Rosalie's phone rang.

"Hello." A short pause.

"Bella will be fine. The shoes will look great." A slightly longer pause.

"Edward, calm down!" Alice scolded.

"Fine," Rosalie said. "Bella, Edward wants to talk to you." I took the phone.

"Edward, what do you want?"
"This was exactly what I was afraid of. Alice and Rosalie don't know your limit. That's why I wanted to come along. If you don't want to go shopping, just tell me. I won't have Alice make you feel guilty or anything."
"Edward, I'll be fine. I want the shoes, even though I won't agree with the amount of money put into this."
"Are you sure you're going to be okay?"
"Yes, I'll be fine." I shut the phone and handed it back to Rosalie.

Once we walked into the shoe store, I gawked at how many dressy shoes they had. They also were in the 500-1000 dollar range. Alice and Rosalie split up, leaving me staring at shoes, open mouthed. Eventually, I made my way to a chair, and sat down. Alice and Rosalie came back; both had a stack of ten shoe boxes. Alice took off my shoes, and forced a pink high heel on me. Rosalie forced a teal high heel on the other foot.

"Neither of them works," they said together.

"Let's try the lavender, and the mint green," Alice said. Rosalie nodded. They both took turns taking off the previous high heels, and sticking on a different color.

"I think the lavender looks best," Rosalie said.

"I agree." I groaned. The price was 850 dollars. "Edward will love these on you," Alice responded.

"They're 850 dollars!" I whined.

"The shoes here aren't cheap," Alice said. "Anyway, these were the cheapest you tried on."
"You made me try on," I grumbled.

"Bella, it's not that bad." I noticed Rosalie left to buy them. We left the store. I was sulking the whole way home, but I didn't voice my complaints on the way home. Edward would get to hear about it tonight.

A/N: How did you like that? Sorry I didn't update that quickly. I had a ton of homework to do this weekend. Please read and review. Hopefully I'll put up a shorter chapter by tonight. I might not update every day this week, but I'll try to.
