Chapter Six: Curiously Bad Timing

When we got back to Alice and Rosalie's place, Alice and Rosalie grabbed their dresses from the backseat--though the dresses were covered--and I got my wedding dress out too.

The front door to the mansion opened and Edward stood there, my favourite crooked grin on his handsome face, his arms crossed over his chest as he watched us coming up the steps. "So, what did you ladies buy?" He asked, his tone amused.

"None of your buisness." Rosalie retorted, walking past him inside the house.

"Dresses!" Alice exclaimed, grinning.

Edward chuckled. "Well, yeah, I kind of guessed that, but what kind of dresses?"

"Bella's wedding dress and Rosalie and my bridesmaid dresses," Alice said, following Rosalie inside and I walked in after them.

Edwards followed us into the living room where Rosalie and Alice had put their dresses down on the couch. Edward wrapped his arms around me from behind and whispered in my ear, "Can I see your dress on you?"

"No!" I said, grinning and turning my head to look at him. "It's bad luck."

"How's it bad luck?" He asked.

"It...just is." I said. "It's an old superstition. You're not allowed to see me in my dress until the wedding."

Edward sighed and gave me a pouty look. Now that was hot. "Please?"

"No." I said, smiling. "I'm going to go put this upstairs." I added, beginning towards the stairs.

"No, wait!" Alice said, untangling herself from Jasper's arms. She picked up her dress and walked towards me. "We'll put these in my room since Edward will try to sneak a peek at it."

I nodded and smiled. "Yeah, he probably will."

"Now that's just insulting!" Edward exclaimed, though I could tell he was trying to hold back a smile. "It's as if you don't trust me!"

Alice and I giggled and walked up the stairs.

We put the dresses in Alice's room and she walked back downstairs, but I walked in my and Edward's room and he was sitting on the couch, grinning at me as I entered.

"So...?" I said and sat on his lap, letting my arms drape around his neck loosly.

"So...what?" He asked, grinning.

"So what do you want to do?" I asked.

He smiled and kissed me deeply, pulling me even closer to him and wrapped his arms around my waist.

I kissed him back, my eyes closed, and let my hand run through his beautiful bronze hair.

"Ahem!" Came a fake cough from the doorway. We broke apart reluctantly to see Jasper standing there with his arms crossed over his chest. "Carlisle wants a family meeting."

Edward sighed and got up, helping me to stand. "Alright, we'll be right down." He said to him.

Jasper chuckled to himself, shaking his head, and walked out, going down the stairs once again.

"Why is it every single time we get interrupted?" Edward asked exasperatedly, though smiling.

I touched my hand to his cheek affectionately and said, "I don't know. Maybe it's just..bad timing."

He kissed my forehead and took my hand. "Yeah, well, hopefully once we're married, they won't interrupt..."

I smiled and laughed quietly, "Yeah, hopefully."

"Well, I suppose we should go and see what Carlisle wants to talk about." Edward said, my hand still in his as we started down the stairs and into the dining room where Esme, Emmette, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, and Carlisle were seated around the table, waiting for us.

I'm sorry it's so short! I've had a lot to deal with lately and I had a case of writers' block, as my friend, scl42593 already knows, so she gave me the idea about Edward wanting to see her dress, so I just took it from there. lol. By the way, thankies, girlie, for that idea.
