-The Halloween Party-
Alice's POV-
I had so many things to before tonights party that I was forcing all of us to go to. I have to go out and pick the perfect costumes out. So I went to the only costume store I could find. I picked out Emmett's costume first, because he would be easy. I picked a policeman outfit that was going to be quite tight, but that was the way it would fit. Next was Rosalie's costume, which I knew she would want something that would be revealing, so I found her a mistress of the night costume. Bella was a bit more difficult to find one for, I wanted it to be revealing, but not to revealing. I found the perfect costume for her. Jasper was another easy on to shop for, I found him a 'Sergeant in Arms' costume that seemed to fit his personality perfectly. With Edward's costume I wanted to go a little older fashioned, so I decided on drapper/mafia look. Finally mine was easy because everyone has told me I'm like a pixie so I thought of an evil pixie look.
Bella's POV-
I knew tonight all of us would be going to a costume party and that Alice had left to go get our costumes. I had to admit I was afraid of what she would pick out for me. I tried to keep my focus on all my schoolwork that I had to get done, instead of the costume I would be wearing. I struggled a tad with gaining the focus needed, but when I did I finished my work in no time.
Today was another one of those days where I wouldn't see Edward until later in the night, because of his friends. Emmett and Jasper forced him to go paint balling with them, I could see in his eyes that he didn't really want to, but that they weren't leaving him a choice. So I tried making my day as busy as possible to try and keep my mind off of Edward, but it didn't work out. I always thought of Edward, even when I cleaned the bathroom. I know it's weird that I thought of him during that, but I couldn't help it.
I decided to clean the whole apartment minus Rose and Alice's rooms. I cleaned the kitchen. I mopped the floors, scrubbed the counters, and did the dishes even though they could have waited. I made my way to the living room and thought about moving it around, but then didn't know if the girls would like it. 'I'll just do it and if they don't like it, I can always put it back the way it was.' So I moved everything around, which made the living room look cozier. When I was satisfied with how it looked I moved on to my room.
My room was quite messy and it bugged me. I gathered up my laundry and took it to our laundry room. I started one of the many loads I had to do. I went back to my room and moved it around. I had to reorganize everything, but it was worth it.
When I was finished with my laundry, I went and took care of all of it. Since I've been here, my wardrobe has increased too much. It seemed like every week I would gain at least ten outfits. I decided that I should probably take a nap before this party Alice told us we were going to.
The next thing I know is Alice and Rose were pulling me out of my bed and into the bathroom. Alice worked on my hair and Rosalie worked on my make-up.
"You guys, I don't need all of this done. It's just a costume party."
"Exactly, we have to make your look match your costume." Rose said.
I noticed they were already in their costumes. Rose was wearing a very divulging costume while Alice was some sort of fairy type thing. I was back to being scared about the costume she picked out for me.
After they were finished doing their 'magic' as they would call it, it was time for me to change. First Alice hands me a black lacey bra with matching underwear. I could already tell that this would be a very uncomfortable night. Next, she hands me fishnet tights to put on, then the really short skirt, and then she hands me the jacket. When I was buttoning up the jacket, I noticed that it would only button up so far. It left part of my bra showing. That wasn't even the worst part of my costume.
"Alice, I can't wear those. I'll end up killing myself." I said as she handed me the black and white heels.
"Bella, you'll be fine. Just walk slower than normal." Rose said. "I'm surprised you're not complaining about the costume."
"I figured I would have to wear it anyways, so why waste my breath on complaining about it." I shrugged. My favorite part of the costume was my hat.
When we walked out of the bathroom, the guys were waiting for us in the living room. Emmett was a cop in a very tight uniform and Jasper was some type of army guy. Edward looked like someone from the mafia and I instantly realized that Alice had picked out somewhat matching costumes.
"Wow Bella, I never thought I would see you in anything like that." Emmett said. I laughed when Rose smacked him in the back of his head.
"This was all Alice's doings." I blushed.
"Let's go!" Alice said before anyone else could say anything else.
Edward came up to me and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"You look amazing, but uncomfortable." He whispered into my ear.
"I'm glad you like it and yes I'm very uncomfortable right now. But it's worth it if I can be with you." He smiled at me and kissed me.
The night went by quite fast. We danced, had a few drinks, and danced some more. Before we went home Edward had got into a fight with a guy that was hitting on me or should I say grabbing me.
"You need to leaver her alone." Edward said.
"What are you going to do about it?" The guy asked.
Edward didn't have time to answer, because the guy punched him in the face. That pissed Edward off even more, so he started throwing punches. Let's just say when Emmett and Jasper pulled Edward off of him, the guy's face was bloody, puffy, and bruised really badly. I started to feel sick because of the blood, but Edward scooped me up and carried me back to the apartment and into my room.
"Are you alright Edward?" I asked.
"I'm fine, but I should ask you the same question. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine now, but I felt sick when I seen and smelled the blood on that guy's face."
Edward set me down on the bed and sat next to me. I took off the shoes I thought would be the death of me, but to my surprise I only tripped a few times. I removed the rest of my costume and slipped on my silky pajama set. When I went back to the bed I noticed that Edward was laying on my bed all ready asleep. This was different usually I'm the one that falls asleep first.
I cuddled next to him and whispered, "I love you Edward. I can see myself spending the rest of my life with you." I was glad he was asleep for the last part anyways, because I didn't want him to think that I thought he felt the exact same way for me and expected him to want the same thing.
I dozed off to sleep next to the best thing that has come into my life.
Edward's POV-
I wasn't quite asleep when she whispered, "I love you Edward. I can see myself spending the rest of my life with you."
I was glad to hear that, because I felt the exact way about her. I knew she is the only thing I want, no I need, for the rest of my life.
A/N: I know I could have talked about the party more, but it is really late here and I wanted to update before I went to bed. I hoped you enjoyed it :) Please Review!!
