CHAPTER 35
Saturday came and we had just arrived at the mall. Today we were buying the costumes for my Hen Party. All of them were going as Angels, except Rose and me; I wanted to be an angel as it was a safer option but only Rose wanted to be a devil. So she guilted me into being a devil too. Katie and Heidi told Alice their sizes, so she could buy them outfits too.
"Since you two are the only devils you two can go and buy your outfits together and we'll get ours and the girls" Alice skipped away linking arms with Esme.
"Now Bella, we need killer outfits, and have to beat theirs, okay? So just trust me alright?" Rose told me
"Fine" I sighed, "I trust you"
"Good"
"But can we not get outfits that are way over the top?"
"I'll try my best, but I am warning you Bella, it's better for me to get your outfit. Alice is well known at the costume store" I stared in ore
"Proper costumes? I thought it was all in red with devil horns"
"No way!" she giggled and dragged me into a store, "Come on!" as we looked around Rose told me, "I think we should match"
"Sure" I wasn't that bothered as long as it was too like Rose's taste. We looked in a few more stores and then Rose called me over claiming to have found the perfect outfits. I walked over to her and she stood smiling. She pulled out the outfit, which consisted of; a red sequined corset and a black and red skirt. The skirt came below mid thigh and was made of three layers of net; the bottom was black, middle was red and the top was black. I stood mouth a gape.
"You want us to wear that?!" I pointed to it.
"Yep, it'll be perfect Bells"
"No!"
"Please!!"
"No, I'm not going to embarrass myself like that!"
"Bells, please. You only have one Hen Party, let's do it in style!!"
"I'll look stupid!"
"Bells, if I promise not to make you look stupid can we get them?"
"I suppose" I huffed
"Thanks!" she hugged me tight, "Now take these and we'll try them on" I took them and she pushed me to the dressing rooms. I went in and dressed in the ridiculous outfit. I struggled to do up the corset so Rose did it. I looked in the mirror, Rose looked stunning and I didn't look that bad. I glanced at the almost see through skirt.
"Rose if we're getting these, we need something under the skirt"
"You're right, we'll get some black hot pants" we changed and grabbed a pair of black hot pants each, and we paid. We went in the shoe shop next. We looked around and since loosing with the clothes I didn't care, so I renounced all opinions on our costume. Rose was ecstatic when she found the perfect boots and I couldn't stop her getting them. They were black knee length, pvc high heeled boots.
"Rose, those are hooker's boots"
"Bella they are not hooker's boots, they are great for our costumes. Plus you renounced all opinions"
I sighed and she bought them. We then went to one of Alice's favorite stores, the Costume Shop. We walked in and Rose dragged us to the right section along with a basket. She picked up and placed tons of things in the basket; devils horns, fishnets, a Bride-to-be sash and a pack of Hen Party sashes. She took them to the till and paid.
"We just need one more thing" Rose announced and pulled us into Ann Summers. She vanished inside and I met her at the tills. She had two white wedding garters, one with blue ribbon and one with red.
"Rose" I sighed, "Why do we need them?"
"To finish off the look" she grinned.
"I'm starting to wonder if Alice would have been a better choice"
"I love you too, Bells" she laughed. We rung Alice and met her at the car. We all got home and piled into Rose and Em's room.
"Right we'll go first!" Alice chirped and dragged Esme into her bathroom, along with their bags. A few seconds later they came out, Esme was first. She was in a white toga style dress. It went below mid thigh and had long sleeves with a massive slit on the top, fastened with Greek style broaches. She wore white fish nets and white high heeled PVC boots that came to just an inch or two below the hem of her dress. She had put her hair in a bun and had a gold glittery halo on top. She spun around and laughed.
"Well?" Esme smirked
"Fabulous, Esme!" I told her
"I have to agree" Rose grinned. Esme sat down on the bed next to us, and Alice came out. Her dress was exactly the same as Esme's but it was shorter and had two straps fastening behind her neck, instead of sleeves. Her boots were much higher, and her halo was stuck on her head.
"Ta Da!" she screamed, as she spun around.
"Lovely Ali" I praised.
"Very nice indeed!" Rose agreed.
"Your turn!" Ali pushed us into the bathroom. We put on our corsets and red fishnets. We then slipped on our hot pants and skirts, and then zipped up our boots. I put on my horns and sash. Rose handed me my garter and I slipped it on my right thigh to mimic Rose. We walked out and I instantly felt self conscious. Esme and Alice gasped and I crossed my arms over my now emphasized and exposed chest.
"You two look HOT!" Alice shouted
"You really do look like little minx's" Esme agreed, giggling. The front door opened and the boys sat downstairs
"Rose?" Em boomed.
"We're up here trying on our outfits for Bella's Hen Party" Rose replied and smirked. We heard them all run upstairs and I grabbed Rose's dressing gown. I slipped it on and tied it, just in time. They all burst through the door and their jaws dropped, but then turned into big grins.
"Oh"
"My"
"Flipping"
"God" they walked in but kept their distance as if we would shock them. They all eventually came and stood with us. Edward wrapped his arm around me and whispered,
"Is this like your wedding dress? I'm not allowed to see"
"I don't like it"
"Why?"
"It's the same as Rose's" he glanced at her and his eyes widened.
"You mean that, under there you're wearing that?" he pointed to Rose and I nodded. He whistled and I laughed.
"It's not as good as you imagine"
"I'm sure it is" he kissed my cheek.
"So Bells, not showing us your ensemble?" Em questioned
"It's the same as Rose's, so no one needs to see" I replied.
"Bells, I'm sure it looks good" Jazz encouraged but I shook my head.
"Bella do what you want but the others have, and we won't laugh" Carlisle supported.
"I really don't want too" I told them.
"You don't have too, love" Edward assured me, and I smiled.
"Bella" Em asked, I looked to him, "Pass me my phone it's on the side" I walked over and picked up the phone, but Emmett ripped off the dressing gown.
"EMMETT!" I screeched, "YOU IMBECILE I SAID NO!!" I crossed my arms over me and Edward wrapped his arms around me.
"Bells, I only did it because if you couldn't show us, how were you going to cope when you go out?" I buried my head in Edward's chest, "Plus you look fine!"
"I agree, love" Edward said in my ear. I looked up and saw his crooked grin. I looked at Emmett,
"Thanks, Em" I muttered, and he grinned.
"I was thinking" Jazz started, "If you girls are going without us I don't think you should dress like you are" Rose, Alice, Esme and I laughed at Jazz's statement, and all the boys looked puzzled at our reactions.
"Sorry but we can handle ourselves. You are forgetting that we're stronger than any drunks, and I'm part of the Volturi. Do you really think my Dad would let me grow up without learning Self Defence?"
"I suppose" Jazz mumbled.
"Don't worry, Jazzy. If anyone comes near me, I have my stilettos" she smiled innocently, some angel.
"Okay, Ali" he answered and kissed her. They looked so cute. I grabbed my bags and went to our room. Edward followed.
"Get my pajamas, would you? I need to change" I asked as I unzipped my boots.
"Here you go, love" he placed them on the bed next to me. I put away my boots and took the other bags. I changed into my pajamas and put the outfit away. I placed the bags in the closet and Edward changed. This had become one of our traditions now, to cuddle in bed on a night. I walked out and hugged him tight, sniffing in his sweet scent.
"I love you" I whispered
"I love you too" Edward whispered back, "Do you know what else I love?"
"No" I shook my head.
"That garter from your costume" he said into my hair.
"Really?" I smirked, "Because I have to return it" I teased
"No you don't, Rose told me she bought them" he smirked back knowingly
"Damn" we laughed.
"Nice try, love" he chuckled.
"Worth a shot" I laughed.
