Chapter 24:
EPOV
I rolled over to find Bella's sided empty. Where was she? I groped the bedside table for my phone. When I found it, I called Bella.
"Hello?" she answered.
"The bed is cold without you." I groaned.
"I'll be sure to warm it later for you" she said with a seductive giggle.
She is killing me…..
"Hmmm…" but before I could say more I heard Alice in the background of the phone.
"Bella, you better not be talking to Edward!" I heard Alice chastise.
"I'm not supposed to see him before the wedding. There is no rule about talking over the phone!" I heard Bella yell back.
Then she turned her attention back to me.
"Sorry, Alice can be a slave driver." Bella laughed. "I heard that!" Alice shrieked in the back ground.
I chuckled. "It's fine. I just hate waking up without you. I'm also going to miss you terribly today." Yeah I was being a softy.
"Well I am going to miss you too." "Isabella Marie Swan if you are still talking to him when I get in there.." Alice was practically screaming.
"I better let you go before Alice bursts a blood vessel." I said with another laugh.
We said a quick goodbye and I was left alone in our bed. But then I remembered I needed to put the final touches on Bella's wedding gift.
BPOV
I had been plucked, waxed, peeled, and "pampered" according to Alice. You name it, if it was beauty related, Alice had me endure through it. Now all the girls were getting our nails done. Alice had scheduled top of the line people to come to her apartment to help with the beauty transformation. Having the wedding in the afternoon seemed like a good idea, but I didn't take into account that Alice would have us spend the entire morning and mid-day going through various regimens.
My hair and makeup and was now getting finished and I was about get into my dress. My stomach was doing somersaults and tried to keep my breathing even. Soon I was ready and we were about to head downstairs. The wedding was being held in a space that was similar to a ball room. It was joined by a door to another ballroom that was being used for the reception. I hold told Alice I wanted the decoration to be Shakespeare inspired, but not tacky. I still wanted it elegant and romantic. We incorporated bird cages, roses, and other Shakespearean items into the wedding and reception decoration. While I had a hand in planning it, I had yet to see the final product all set up. Alice had them put the final touches on today. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time. I had chosen a sweetheart neckline with lace covering the shoulders. A layer of lace covered the whole dress and it fell at an A angle. It was modern but still had a vintage feel to it. I was wearing a simple veil and of course the heirlooms I received at my bridal shower. My makeup was light but still more then I had ever worn before. My hair was pulled half up with soft curls flowing down my back.
Alice confirmed all the men were in their places. She would castrate anyone who let Edward see before the "grand entrance." We made our way to the doors of the ballroom.
Breath, Bella, Breath.
My heart was going a million miles an hour.
Alice and Rosalie made there entrance and I counted to 100 like Alice said for me to do. My father wasn't walking me down the aisle. None of my family was here, but I knew that already. My parents and step-father were my only living family; and had they had basically disowned me when they found out I was pregnant with Liam. I was fine with not having them here, mafia rules or not. The doors were about to open for me when I caught a glimpse of something in my peripheral vision. I turned to see one of Edward's great uncles, Carlisle's uncle on his father side. I had meet him briefly yesterday after his wife insisted on him meeting me early. His wife was the one who gave me one the family heirlooms.
What was he doing here? He should be sitting with the others guests.
"Bella, I know this is unexpected…..As the oldest family member I would like to walk you down the aisle today, since you are marrying the next Don in the Cullen family here in America. But also after speaking with Edward, it is very apparent that he thinks the world of you and already loves you. We worried Edward would never find someone. We feared he would eventually marry out of obligation as the next Don in this territory. But he found something special with you and you two will be good for each other. You complete him, and I know from experience that having a women who completes you and is there for you through thick and thin makes this life easier. May I have the honor of walking you down the aisle?"
"Yes, of course." I managed to say. I was completely taken aback. But I realized they had embraced me as family. Regardless of marrying in, they saw me as one of them. I would take them over my blood family any day.
He linked arms with me and then the doors opened.
I took a deep breath and stepped inside.
It was breathtaking. Alice had really outdone herself. I felt like I was in a Shakespearean garden, but it was very elegant. Then I locked eyes with him and he was the most breath taking thing in the room. His tux made him look sinful. A smile played on his lips and he looked as if something had taken his breath away also.
Before I knew it I was where he was and my arm slipped out from my escort. It felt as if time was standing still. The ceremony was a blur to be honest. All I was focused on was him and me. We exchanged our vows and rings. We were pronounced husband and wife and when he kissed me it was like electricity running through my body. When he pulled away I saw nothing but love and devotion in his eyes. I hadn't really admitted it to myself until that moment, but I was truly in love with Edward. I knew I would grow to love him, but I never believed I would feel it so soon.
We then turned to the guests and were embraced by various family members. Making our way into the reception, I then realized Edward, Liam, and I would be okay. Speaking of Liam, he was absolutely adorable in his tux. He was with Esme the entire ceremony and did exceptionally well. He was even fine for the photographer who took tons of pictures.
The reception kicked off. Italian food was served and champagne poured. Toasts were made and jokes told. Then Edward pulled me unto the dance floor for our first dance. I didn't know what song would played though. Alice said Edward had given her his recommendation and I went with it not knowing what it was. I was very curious none the less.
Music started playing and Edward wrapped me in his embrace.
The lyrics then started to play.(A/N: the song is Angel by Casting Crowns. I recommend listening to it)
"It was a day
Just like any other day
I was a boy
Just like every other boy
But when the girl
Unlike any I had seen
It's like she stepped out of a dream
And into my world
Could have been the summer wind
Playing with her hair
As the sun danced in her eyes
We were standing there
She smiled I forgot my name
'Cause all I was thinking
Maybe I'm crazy but I'm praying
That an angel will love me
An angel will love me
Maybe I'm a fool but I'm still falling
Asking heaven above me
For an angel to love me
The rest of my life
You're the proof that the Father answers prayers
'Cause somehow someway
You and I are standing here
With the sacred promise
And a ring that says it all
I've just begun to fall
From the deepest part of me I say I do
Maybe I'm crazy but I'm praying
That an angel will love me
An angel will love me
Maybe I'm a fool but I'm still falling
Asking heaven above me
For an angel to love me
The rest of my life
After all the changing seasons
Have turned to years
The crowns are gone
And the suns have faded
I'd still be here
Holding you
When thanking heaven
For my angel
Maybe I'm crazy but I'm praying
That an angel will love me
An angel will love me"
Maybe I'm a fool but I'm still falling
Asking heaven above me
For an angel to love me
The rest of my life"
The song ended and tears threatened to spill over. Edward had hand picked that song to be our first dance.
"You are really my angel, and I don't deserve you, but I am so thankful that you are mine." He said with such conviction.
"I love you," The words slipped out before it registered I was saying them, but I meant them.
"I love you too." He said and lightly kissed me.
We then danced with others and there was even few traditional Italian dances. I danced with Liam even though he was young. The evening was turning to night and it would soon be time for me and Edward`s departure. Liam was staying overnight with Esme and Carlisle. It took some convincing earlier, but I finally agreed since it was me and Edward's wedding night.
Alice then came over, "It's time." She said happily.
Edward and I said our final thanks and goodbyes and we headed to our apartment. I had been calm and tried to not let my nerves get me now. Before I knew it we were in the bedroom. I wasn't sure how we would proceed. Edward knew I was ready, right?
I then felt a kiss on the back of my neck.
"Would you like a minute to yourself?" Edward asked gently.
That would probably we a good idea. "Yeah." Was all I could say.
I headed to the bathroom and took out my veil. I then realized Alice had put a garment bag in her for my dress and veil. I took out my hair pins and then proceeded to take off my jewelry. Next step and hardest was the dress. Alice had shown me how I could take it off myself with a fancy contraption. I finally managed to get it off and hung it up in the garment bag. I was left in my lace bra and panties. I decided I would walk out in these and hang up the garment bag in the closet. When I walked out of the bathroom I didn't see Edward. Where did he go? As I made my way to the closet, I realized we had the same ideas. He was standing in the closet in his boxers hanging up a garment bag which I presume his tux in. He then looked at me and took in my attire. His eyes were full of hunger. I quickly hung up my dress, and when I turned around Edward was mere inches away from me.
"You are so beautiful" he said breathlessly before kissing me.
It ignited something in me and I ran my fingers through his hair and pulled him closer.
When we broke apart, we were panting.
"Are you sure you are ready?" he asked.
"Yes," I answered and pulled him in for a passionate kiss.
He then hoisted me up and my legs wrapped his mid-section.
He held unto me and made our way to the bed. I then felt the weight of him on my as he placed me on the bed with legs still wrapped around.
Our lips broke free and his lips found my neck. It felt like electricity running through my body. God it felt amazing, I pulled his hair and he moaned against my skin. I was panting then let out a moan as he hit a sweet spot. He then made his way to my breasts and ripped off my bra. He then kissed every inch of my breasts and then started sucking one of my nipples and then moved to the other. I felt pressure building in my abdomen. Shit it was like my skin was on fire but it felt amazing. I ran my hands down his chest feeling every scar and chiseled muscle, We then locked eyes when he realized I saw his scars on his chest. They were a major turn on. I loved every part of his body that I had seen so far. I then reached down to feel his manhood and oh shit he was huge. I was going to love that part of him too for sure. I pulled off his boxers and started stroking him. He let out a moan that caused me to get wetter then I already was. He pulled off my panties and started stroking my clit with his thumb. He slowly put a finger in me, no doubt realizing I was soaked.
"So wet for me." He panted and then put two fingers in me. I let out a moan and then grabbed his cock.
"Shit Bella. I'm not going to last long if he you keep doing that."
"I need you inside me." I said urgently, practically begging.
I don't know how much foreplay he intended, but I needed him inside me. NOW.
He then rubbed my cock along clit and along my opening getting it wet with my juices. He slowly entered me. I would be lying if I said it didn't hurt a little at first. He took his time though. Once fully inside me, he gave our bodies a second to adjust.
I then pulled him in for a kiss and he saw that as an okay signal. He started to push in and out me and I wrapped my legs around him pulling him closer with each thrust. I was moaning and making all sort of noises. It seemed to drive Edward crazy because she started to pick up his pace,. Shit….
The heat in my stomach rose and my breathing became erratic. I then felt the coil undo.
"Edward!" I screamed as my orgasm overtook me. I was literally shaking but it felt so good.
"Shit Bella" and then I knew Edward was cumming.
After we came down from our highs, we slowly released each other. Edward rolled on his back and pulled me toward him. I rested my head on his chest and wrapped my around him.
"I love you, Bella."
"I love you too, Edward."
