Chapter 30 Wedding pt 1
The weather outside was perfect. Perfectly horrible that is. A storm had overtaken the land, as per usual and ravaged the earth with it's downpour. The sun was nowhere to be seen and a dark cloud blanketed the sky. The wind was no help as it whipped around and lifted things best kept grounded.
The wedding was to be held outside under a tent, but as the weather was persistant in it's flurry, the tailors suggested the wedding be rescheduled.
Edward glared down at the tailors. "No. The wedding will not be rescheduled!" he spat. "We're still having it today, as was planned."
Kate looked out the window at the tent that was threatening to be blown away any moment. The wedding was supposed to be held in it. Everything had been set up. The very expensive flowers had been placed itricately inside of it and even mapped out the aisle that the bride would walk up to meet the groom.
The chairs for the guests had been aligned perfectly in nice even rows to seat everyone attending. The alter had been standing, in the front regally, also adorned with beautiful flowers that just complemented the scene. All of the candles sat around in various places, ready to be lit an illuminate this wonderful ceremony.
But with the storm, the candles had been blown here and there, most weren't even inside of the tent anymore. The flowers were now soggy and floating pitifully in puddles gathered on the now damp earth. Chairs for the guests had been flippered over by the strong wind and some could be seen tumbling down the hill and landing in the ocean below.
"Well, I know that you wanted the wedding today, but look." Kate pointed to the destroyed tent area.
Edward scowlled and paced in front of the window. "We'll just have to move it inside the mansion then." he decided after a few minutes.
Kate sighed in exasperation. "Do you know how long it took to set that up?" she asked annoyed. "The wedding starts in," Kate checked her watch. "Less than half an hour!" she finished. "Just reschedule it for tomorrow!"
Edward grabbed Kate by her collar and narrowed his eyes down at her. "No." he growled.
Kate looked at his hand grabbing her collar and drew back her fist to smash his face in. Edward released her immediately and clutched his nose that was starting to bleed. "Keep your hands off of me you! I don't know who the hell you think you are, but no one and I mean no one, puts their hands on me." she scoffed at him and walked away. "I quit you asshole. Find someone else to cater to your demands." Kate stalked out of the room and grabbed Sasha and Senna on her way out. "We aren't needed here anymore." she told them.
"What's going on?" Sasha asked perplexed.
"Doucheward was being an ass so I quit." Kate looked at the others. "Well, we quit." she clarified.
Sasha and Senna gasped. "What did you go and do a thing like that for?" Senna asked, getting upset. "We didn't even get paid yet!"
Kate reached into her pocket and pulled out a check. "Actually, Emmett made sure we got paid. He already took the money out of Edward's funds and put in our bank accounts."
Senna and Sasha exchanged glances. "How much?" they asked simultaneously.
Kate pulled out a piece of paper and showed them the amount with a grin.
"Holy-
"Thats a lot of zeros!" Senna intterupted Sasha.
"The most we ever made so far. We can actually take three months off. What do you say? Vacation time?" Kate suggested. The two girls nodded happily and followed Kate out of the mansion. On their way to the car, Sasha tugged on Kate's sleeve. Kate gave her a 'What?' look and Sasha opened her mouth.
"What did Edward do to make you quit?"
Kate's eyes narrowed and when they got into the car, she told the pair what had happened, while driving as far away from the mansion as possible.
Edward walked up to a few of the staff running around the house like a chicken with it's head cut off. It just so happened to be the stuttering man that was literally terrified of him. "Hey!" he grabbed the man's arm before he could run away.
"Y-y-yeah?" the man stuttered, looking up into Edward's angry face nervously.
"I need you to get some people together and set up the back room for the wedding." he demanded. The man nodded slowly.
"O-o-o-okay. It'll b-b-b-be ready in a-a-a-about three or f-f-four hours." he tried to smile up at Edward, but the man was shaking his head.
"No. I want the wedding to be ready to start as planned before."
The frightened man frowned. "B-b-b-but it's going t-t-to take t-t-time to get everything s-s-s-s-set up."
Edward leaned closer to the man, eyes glinting with anger. "I. Don't. Care. Do it!" he shoved the man away from him, and the guy squeaked before scurring away. Things were not going as planned and that infuriated him.
Emmett was passing by, munching on a candybar when he saw his brother. "Whatsup?" Emmett asked casually.
Edward ignored his brother and instead, straightened his already straight bow tie.
"Silent treament huh?" Emmett laughed a little, then took another bite of his candybar. "Oh come on. Things can't be going that badly." Emmett teased, smirking when he saw Edward tense from anger and anxiety.
"Shut up Emmett!" Edward finally snapped. "This wedding is going to happen today and I'm sick and tired of things going wrong!"
Emmett went to respond, but the stuttering man from before came running into the run. "I'm s-s-sorry to tell y-y-you this, b-b-but it's going to take a w-w-while to s-s-set up the room."
"What?" Edward stalked forward towards the man and pushed him up against the door.
"Is that any way to treat your staff?" Emmett asked, ready to pull Edward off of the guy if he became too angry.
Ignoring his brother, Edward glared down at the man trembling in fear before him. "Explain!" he spat.
"T-t-the room h-h-had been s-s-set up f-f-for the r-r-reception afterward. S-s-so first w-w-we have to c-c-clear it out. T-t-then p-p-put it somewhere else. S-s-so once thats f-f-finished, t-t-then we c-c-can s-s-set up the r-r-room for the w-w-wedding." the man finished, turing as pale as a ghost when Edwards hands reached for his throat.
"Okay Edward." Emmett pocketed his candybar and pulled his brother away from the man before he could choke him to death. "Just do what you can." Emmett told the man who fled the room immediately after.
Emmett looked at his brother who was dripping rage. "Is someone purposely sabotaging me?" he asked his brother, redfaced.
Emmett took out his candybar and finished eating it. "I think you need to calm down. You have until midnight right?"
Edward nodded imperceptibly.
"Well, it's only," Emmett glanced up at the clock. "It's only twelve o'clock. You have twelve hours so stop fretting."
Edward glared at the clock that was slowly ticking away his time.
"Where is Bella?" he asked suddenly.
Emmett pointed to a room down the hall. "She's in there with her friends." he told his brother casually.
Edward headed down the hall to check it ou for himself. Everything that could go wrong, seemed to be going wrong and if his little brother had tried to help Bella escape again, he was going to go postal.
He began opening the door but it was slammed shut by a body behind it. He heard squeals and then a loud authorative voice telling the squealers to quiet down. "Let me in!" he demanded, kicking at the door.
"No! It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding." Zafrina told him from the opposite side of the door.
Edward sighed, face palming. "I don't care! This wedding is already cursed!" he complained, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Maybe you should post-pone it then." Zafrina suggested.
"No!" he snapped. "The wedding will resume. It's been rescheduled to five." Edward left to tell the staff of the new time. Five was still good. He would still have plenty of time and once the wedding started he knew it would go without a hitch.
A/N: I would like to thank emilia458 for giving Edward the name: Doucheward. xD It was so funny, I just had to use it in the story. I woulda waited til tomorrow to post the full chapter, but instead, I broke it up into two chapters so that I could post faster. :3
