I don't own twilight


Bella POV

As the days quickly flew by me, I started to feel the pressure of the wedding. I rehearsed with the company as much as I could before I would be on vacation for my honeymoon. I felt like I had to dance harder and do Pilates every night to make sure I looked great on that day. And also so I'd be ready for whatever Edward wanted to do while we had our week alone. I knew I'd be naked a lot and even though he'd seen me naked already, I wanted to look my best.

But then along with that, Angie had been helping me pack all of my stuff away. My clothes, shoes, and everything else were in boxes and bags. Most of it would be going to Edward's apartment, but the rest would go into storage. The bigger items, we'd have to come to some sort of agreement about. Obviously my bed was too small for the both of us, but my chairs were a lot cooler than his.

I sat in the middle of the living room floor with Angie. We were eating rainbow sorbet straight from the tub. We were wearing our 'moving clothes' that didn't look any different than our rehearsal clothes. She kept looking at me and smiling.

"What? What Angie?" I said finally.

"Niña, you're getting married." She sang finally.

"I know!" I squealed. I smiled.

"Nervous?" She asked.

"Yes! I haven't been to venue, I haven't picked out anything but the dress and the shoes. There's so much I have to do. I'm fully trusting Mommy and Esme with this." It was the opposite of what I seen on those crazy bride shows. I felt a little removed from the whole thing, but I was still excited. Who better would know what I loved than my mommy and my best friend?

"I think they have your back. Hey I'm involved in this too. I picked the foods. And my Titi is going to hook up your hair." she laughed.

"That's true. I guess its just jitters. I get them before everything big I do. And I think this is the biggest thing I've ever done..."

"You're the queen of nervousness and worrying. I'm surprised you've kept it together this long." She took another spoonful of sorbet only scooping the green part.

"You really think that Angie?" I took a spoonful too of the green before she finished it.

"You know I'm right. With the whole baby thing, and that crazy gringa, and this, I think you're maturing or something."

"Who knows? All I know is that I wanted to rip Tanya's pasty face off at the courthouse." I sighed. I thought about the dirty stares she gave me. It really made no sense to me why someone who didn't really know me, hated me so much.

"What stopped you? Besides the police and everything. Cuz if I was you, I would've been going to jail too. Ya tu sabe" she laughed.

"I didn't want to be that 'angry black woman' you know what I mean? I knew she was expecting me to do something crazy. But I didn't. All I said was 'My dad is officer at Rikers. I told him all about you. You should enjoy your stay.' I'll let the inmates handle her." I hated to call my birth dad for anything, especially since he chose to leave my mommy. I never asked him for help, it was almost like he didn't exist.

Anytime I did speak to him it was really awkward. I didn't even invite him to the wedding but he knew about. I told him how Tanya tried to kill Edward and wanted to get me next, that was all it took for him to help.

"Wow. You pulled the birth dad card. That's deep. But that rubia has it coming to her. Can you imagine her flaca self in there? 'Do you know who I am?' Angie imitated her perfectly. " Do you know who I am?' Bitch nobody in jail care!" I started to laugh so hard I fell over and dropped the spoon.

"Angie!" I laughed so hard I started to cry. I wiped my eyes.

"Anyways. What are we going to do for your bachelorette party? You want to go to a strip club? Go clubbin'? We have to party." She said excitedly. When Angie got excited, she talked really fast. Come to think of it she always talked really fast.

"I don't know. I never been to a strip club...I don't know how Edward would feel about that." I said. I thought about it, but if I went to strip club that meant he would go to one too. I didn't like that idea so much. I could imagine all those women bumping and grinding on him, staring in his green eyes.

"Well we can go clubbin'. Get really sexy and go dancin' all night." She said as she shimmied her shoulders. The curly bun on top of her head moved too.

"I think I like that better. I don't need some greased up guy shaking his junk all up in my face like "wiggle wiggle wiggle" I moved my hips around.

"To be honest that's what I need! Yo! Emmie and me...I'm so ready to see what he's working with you know? Like I love when he goes down on me but I need more." Her eyes were wide.

"Are you gonna give in?" I asked. I took another spoonful of sorbet then put the lid on, it was almost empty.

"Thinkin' about it. I'm worried though, I never been with a white boy. And he can't dance." She shook her head no. Dancing was important to both of us, and one o the easiest ways to judge if a guy had moves elsewhere if you know what I mean.

"Well...Edward is different." I started to smile as I thought about him. He was constantly surprising me. I remembered the first time we danced together. It was New Year's Eve. I never would've imagined a white guy like him would be such an amazing dancer. He held me close and we moved perfectly together…

"I know. Only you would find a hot white guy, that has rhythm, and is hung, and has a super big inheritance." She shook her head again.

"Wait what? What inheritance?" Angie covered her mouth like she said something she wasn't supposed to.

"De nada." She said and got up quickly. She picked up the sorbet tub and rushed to the kitchen.

"Hey!" I followed behind her. "What inheritance? What are you talking about?" She mumbled something that sounded like a string of curse words in Spanish.

"I wasn't supposed to say anything. I wasn't even supposed to know. I just found out by mistake. Alice told me about it by accident." She put the tub in the freezer and leaned against the fridge. "Its some inheritance his abuela set up for him. It doesn't go into effect though after a year of marriage or something like that. That's part of the reason Tanya was going ham to get him. But you don't know this. I didn't say anything ok? Don't mention it ok?"

"Edward never said anything about this to me..." I hated that he kept things from me. This sounded pretty important and I wish I had known about it. But then again he was always a secretive somewhat. He tried to keep his emotions and his past hidden from me. I couldn't force him to be open; I just had to wait for him to just do it. And money was always a touchy subject for him.

"Don't pout. Maybe he doesn't want you to worry about it. I don't know." I sighed. "Show me your dress. Let me see how it fits you. You've been working so hard to look good let's see it." She gently pushed me.

"Ok ok. Can you put a sheet on the floor? I've been so scared to touch this thing." I said. Washed my hands at the sink and dried them with a paper towel.

I went to my bedroom and pulled the only thing that was in the closet. I threw off my tee shirt and short shorts. Then carefully unzipped the dress and carefully stepped into it. I slowly zipped it up. I lifted up the bottom and walked back to living room.

I stepped on the sheet that on the floor and let the dress fall. "It will look so much better once I have my sexy corset and stuff underneath. It'll make my boobs look a little bigger..." I said.

"Izzy...you look gorgeous!" Angie said. "You have to wear you hair down...you have too. Edward will bust a nut when he sees you."

I laughed as I took my hair down. It fell down messy and crazy. Angie nodded yes with a huge smile. I wanted my dress to be sexy and sweet. Also I didn't want to look like any old bride, and the few people that seen the dress already loved it. I hoped Edward would feel the same.

"You look like a mermaid...it's gonna look so good with your mommy's pearls!" she sang.

"And then I have this hair comb that's a rose gold starfish." I said excited. It felt nice in the dress. It was really beautiful.

"That's perfect. What color are you gonna polish your nails?"

"I don't know. I was thinking maybe lavender or lilac. I don't have anything purple...you know that's my favorite color". She nodded and smiled slyly. Every time she smiled that way I knew she was up to something. "Help me take this off before I mess it up." Angie came over and carefully unzipped it and helped me out of it. I carried it carefully to, my room. I placed it back on the hanger, placed back in the plastic dress case. I looked at it.

In a few days, I'd be wearing it for real. I'd be saying I do to Edward. I'd be changing my last name. My stomach started to fill with butterflies. I started to feel anxious. Nothing in my life felt so right or so meant to be. And I came so close to losing it all. Apart of me felt like it was still possible. Like any moment, I'd wake up and it wasn't true.

"You still naked? What are you thinking about?" Angie said. I didn't realize that I was still standing there in my panties staring at the dress.

"Everything." I got back dressed and sat on the floor facing the dress. I looked up at it. Angie sat down next to me and threw her arm around my shoulders.

"Wassup? Tell me."

"I just...I just don't want it to end. Edward and I are so happy...what if. What if-" I couldn't finish because she cut me off.

"Mira, don't think like that. Eddie is nothing like your ex. From the first time I seen you and Eddie together I knew it was something about the two of you together. It's so different. The way he watches you, the way he holds you. He doesn't want anyone but you. Don't see how he fought for the two of you?" She grabbed my hand. "Look at this beautiful ring. Guys in this city don't just hand these out. Don't worry about that kinda thing with Izzy. Trust me. Por favor, I wish I was in your position."

"Angie thanks. I have to stop doubting myself...and us."

"Your blessed niña. That's all; you caught the biggest break of your life. And I'm happy to share in it." She smiled

"I wouldn't want anyone else to be my maid of honor," I whispered.
