CHAPTER 34
"Bye kiddo" Dad said as he hugged me.
"Bye Dad"
"I'm going to miss you"
"I'll miss you too, Dad, but we'll be back in five months and we can ring and email"
"I know"
"Love you Dad"
"Love you too Bells" I smiled and walked through security. I had already said goodbye to Marcus and Caius. Unlike Dad they didn't need to say goodbye four times. We boarded the plane and we home in no time, Edward and I unpacked and then went hunting. When we returned, we showered and changed for school. I changed into jeans and a green long sleeved top with my grey coat and flats. I took my bag and met Edward at the car. While we were driving I hesitantly took my ring off and slid it on an empty silver chain. I was slowly getting better at that. We arrived and walked to Homeroom. We took our seats and Alice joined us after saying bye to Jazz.
"Alice, you've sent the invites, right?" I whispered
"Yep, while you were changing, Jazz and I dropped them off"
"Good
and everything else is planned?"
"Of course!" she grinned,
"All we have to do is get the accessories for the bridesmaids and
you"
"That's all?"
"Yep" then she smiled mischievously, "But we have to get the Cullen Women Tradition"
"What's that?" I asked wearily
"Nothing big, just a little something we Cullen women always get"
"Alice"
"A garter, ooh it could be your something new!" she clapped.
"Alice" I wined, "I don't want a garter!"
"It's not for you, it's for Edward" she winked and Edward turned from his phone when he heard his name.
"What's for me?" he asked innocently
"Bella's-" I slapped my hand over Alice's mouth shutting her up
"Nothing" I smiled
"If you're sure"
"Positive" he turned back to his phone and Alice grinned wickedly.
"Anyway" she started, "Now we have your something new we need your something, blue, old and borrowed"
"Well my something blue is my diamond necklace with blue pendent"
"Good, so it's just old and borrowed"
"Yep" the bell rung and we went to class. All my classes were like normal, boring, so I was glad to get to lunch. I walked up to our table and everyone was already there. I pecked Edward's lips and sat down.
"Have a good morning, love?" he asked
"Alright, you?"
"Same"
"Bella?" Rose called.
"Yes?"
"Ali, was saying you still need your something Old and something Borrowed"
"Yeah, I do"
"Well, if it's okay with Esme which I'm sure it will be, she'll lend you her veil clip. She lent me it every time Em and I renewed our vows"
"It's gorgeous plus it will count as your something old too" Alice added
"Really?
You think she will?"
"Of course!" Rose assured me
"Thanks"
"Your welcome" she grinned. The rest of the day passed as usual and I was home with my ring back on my finger in no time. I was sat with Edward and Emmett in the living room, they were playing on the Xbox and I was watching. Esme came downstairs.
"Bella?"
"Yes Esme"
"Alice and Rose mentioned that you wanted to borrow my Veil clip as your something old and borrowed"
"I did if you didn't mind"
"It would be my pleasure, dear. Do you want to come look at it?"
"Yes" I leapt up and followed her upstairs. We went into her and Carlisle's room. I sat on the bed and she went into her closet. She came out holding a black box; she sat next to me and opened up the box. It revealed a beautiful, diamond encrusted Veil clip.
"That's stunning" I gasped
"It will go lovely with your dress"
"Thank you" I hugged her
"Your welcome" she closed the box and handed it to me, "Put it with the others thing you've got"
I stood up and went to mine and Edward's room. I walked to the back of the closet and put the black box away. I then went back and joined Edward and Emmett who also had Jazz playing too.
"Aw, come on!" Jazz yelled
"Yes, yes, yes!" Em bellowed
"Get in there!" Edward shouted. I had this for an hour until Rose and Alice joined me.
"So, Bells any ideas for your Hen Party?" Rose asked.
"Maybe a movie night, I don't want a big fuss"
"A movie night? Have you heard her Ali?"
"We so have to change that"
"No, look the wedding is about as much fuss as I can take in one eternity"
"Please Bells, we already told Esme that we were going out and she's flying Katie and Heidi out"
"Fine, then but nothing O.T.T or we'll elope in Vegas. Won't we Edward?" he concentrated on the game, "Edward!" he looked over at me slightly
"Whatever my Bella wants Alice, you too Rose" I smiled at them
"Okay" she grinned, "We'll go clubbing as we planned but Bella can pick the theme"
"Theme?"
"Yeah, we'll all dress according to the theme"
"Okay"
"Right we we'll be back soon, so think of a theme" they both skipped upstairs and I thought carefully about a theme. I need something that will be a good laugh but won't embarrass me or end in me in some horrid out fit. Then it came to me. Heaven and Hell. This would be great. Angels don't usually wear tiny skirts and low cut tops. Perfect. I sat smiling proudly at my idea until Rose and Alice came back.
"What's the theme then?" Alice quizzed
"Heaven and Hell" I announced
"Great idea, Bells!" Rose exclaimed
"I completely agree" Esme and Carlisle walked in, "Esme, we have a theme"
"Brilliant! What is it?" They both sat down on the opposite sofa and the game finished. Every one was waiting for the answer.
"Bella chose it" Rose added, "Go on Bells, tell them"
"It's Heaven and Hell" I announced, Edward smirked and raised an eyebrow
"Great, that will be so much fun to get outfits for" Esme decided
"Will you keep these outfits?" Emmett asked. Ew!
"Emmett!!" Jazz and Edward yelled at the same time.
"What? Don't tell me you weren't thinking the same?"
"Even if we were we wouldn't voice it!" Jazz stated
"Esme, if we sort the date out and get Heidi and Katie informed we can have it in May. Plus Edward can have his at the same time" Alice chirped
"Yeah, because we just need a date" Jazz told us
"What are you doing?" I smirked
"We are also going clubbing but we are going to Vegas!!" Em boomed
"Vegas?" they nodded and it was time to have some fun. I let my face fall into a scowl and narrowed my eyes, "Vegas?!" they hesitantly nodded and I stood up.
"Esme, Rose, Alice" I snarled and walked upstairs. They followed close behind and we walked into Carlisle's office. I made a silent motion for them to be quiet and grinned. They caught on and choked down a laugh. I grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote a message;
Don't talk or they'll hear, but since the boys are being so smug it's time to have some fun!
They all read it and nodded, and then Rose took it and wrote;
So shall we toy with them?
I've had an awesome idea! Two Words. Silent. Treatment.
We all agreed silently and then Esme took the pen;
I think that if we do that we'll have to block our minds.
Alice took the pen and scribbled excitedly;
Jazzy, will so buy me those new shoes now!!
We all silently snickered at Alice's comment. We went back downstairs and walked into the kitchen; Esme and I stood while Alice and Rose sat at the island. As expected the boys followed and stood next to their partners. Edward wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my ear.
"Are you okay, love?"
"Esme would you please inform your son that I'm not talking to him" I said, hiding a smile.
"Edward, Bella's not talking to you"
"I got that. Bella, what have I done?"
"Will you please tell Edward that he knows exactly what he's done"
"Rose? Rosie. Rosie baby" Em begged
"Bella, please inform the dufus they call Emmett, that I'm not talking to him and that he knows why"
"Emmett, Rose is not talking to you and that you know why"
"Esme, darling, you'll tell us what we've done wrong won't you?" Carlisle asked
"Alice, please inform your father that I won't be talking to him, and that they all know what they have done"
"Esme's not talking to you Carlisle and she says that you all know what you've done, and I completely agree"
"Alice, sweetie what have I done? Was it the shoes?" Jazz queried and Alice begged for help with her eyes. I warned her with mine and she took a breathe. We waited to see if Alice would cave.
"Rose please tell Jazz that I'm not talking to him" I breathed a silent sigh of relief.
"Jazz, she ain't talking to ya!"
"Girls, considering the circumstances and since there is no school tomorrow, I think it would be best if we spent the night away from the boys, to cool off. Pack a bag and we'll leave"
"We can take my car" I suggested to them. We all nodded and went to pack a bag. Edward followed me around the room. I felt bad but he shouldn't pull jokes if he can't take them. I grabbed my duffel bag and threw in a red jumper style dress; I also chucked in a brown belt and my boots. I packed a toiletry bag and underwear. I zipped up my bag and grabbed my coat. Edward stared at me; I couldn't bring myself to scowl, so I left my face blank.
"Bella" he called, "Don't go, love. If you tell me what I've done, I can make it up to you" he flashed his crooked smile and I almost gave in. I took a breath and kept my cool. He walked up to me and his lips pressed onto my ear. He kissed it and whispered,
"Bella" he kissed his way to my jaw and back again. He knew I loved that and gave up when ever he did it. He was playing with fire. He may know how to make me weak at the knees but I knew a few tricks of my own. I ran my fingers up and down his arms and then across his chest. I ran them down his chest and to the band on his jeans. I ran my fingers along the waist band and pulled at it. He froze and stopped breathing, and I smiled internally.
"Bella!" Rose yelled. I took my bags and walked out to the car. I put them in the boot with everyone else's. I looked over at the house and found the boys stood at the door looking bewildered. We got in the car Esme and I in front and Alice and Rose in the back. As soon as we were out of hearing ranch we all burst out laughing.
"Did you … see there … faces?" Alice laughed. We all calmed down.
"Anyone else nearly cave?" Rose asked
"Yes!" we all chanted.
"I think they had tactics" Esme stated.
"Defiantly, no way could Emmett do that when I was angry without some help"
"I don't want to know Rose" I giggled, "Although I must agree, but I'm assuming you used your techniques"
"Of course"
"Jazz doesn't like being nervous" Alice giggled,
"That would explain why Edward was scared stupid" I muttered. I pulled up to the closest Four Seasons. We got out and Valets swarmed us. They got our bags and took my car, while we walked to the desk and checked in. We took the penthouse suite.
"And how will you be paying?" The receptionist asked. Esme jumped in.
"By credit card" she smugly handed over a sleek black credit card, with "Carlisle Cullen" in a shiny silver emboss. We all laughed as Esme smiled inncoently. We gave a deposit and went to our room. We all sat down at the sofas.
"So when are we going to forgive them?" Rose asked.
"I say tomorrow" I suggested hopefully
"I agree" Alice started but blanked out I rushed next to her. She smiled and continued, "Tomorrow will be good"
"What did you see?"
"Well, I saw them all sat depressed and lonely, I think we'll have to go home tomorrow" we talked for a little while longer but then Alice jumped up and chucked us four of the white hotel robes.
"Look they may be unhappy but it doesn't mean we have to be" we all put on the robes and sat on the sofas. We spent the next few hours watching films and spending girl time together. We all did each others hair and make up afterwards. At about six we all took turns showering and changing. I left my hair curly but tied it up. I dressed and waited for the others. Rose was done first; she wore jeans and a tight black top. Esme was next in a denim knee length skirt with a green top. Finally Alice appeared in a white short skirt with a pink long sleeved top. We all checked out and I drove back home. We left our bags and walked in the door. They weren't in the living room. I pointed upstairs and they nodded. I walked upstairs and knocked on the door.
"Go away Emmett!" Edward yelled. I banged on the door again, "Emmett!" I banged again and the door flung open. I stood smiling and a smile lit up his face, "BELLA!" he shouted and picked me up, and spun me around.
"Edward, I'm sorry"
"Bella, you're sorry! I upset you so much that you left for the night! Bella, I'm sorry!" he sat me on his knee and he sat on the end of the newly purchased bed.
"I have a confession" he froze, "Rose, Alice, Esme and I didn't like your smug attitudes and we kind of played a prank on you to teach you a lesson" he stayed silent for a few moments, "Edward, say something?"
"All that because you didn't like our smug attitudes?"
"Yeah" I whispered
"That was mean" I smiled relieved
"Well now you know what it's like when you four pull pranks on us" he sighed
"We deserved it, I suppose" I nodded, "so are we even?"
"Yep" I grinned
"So, you don't mind us going to Las Vegas then?"
"Nope, as long as you take pictures"
"Same here, love" he planted his lips on mine. We sat cuddling together the rest of the day. It was early evening and Rose knocked on the door, she walked in,
"Bells, we're going shopping a week today for our Hen party outfits" she told me
"If I must" she walked away but spun around.
"The hen party itself is in a few months, we also thought while Katie and Heidi are here we can them fitted for there dresses"
"Sounds good" she left and I nuzzled back into Edward.
