Chapter 7-Nerves
Back in Alice's room, I became a human mannequin again. Alice, Rosalie, and Esme were working on me now.
"Really, is all this necessary?"
"Well, if you hadn't started crying earlier…" Alice joked.
I laughed too. "I really don't think this has anything to do with me crying."
"You're right." She admitted. "It doesn't."
As time wore on, I became more and more jittery. I was nervous about the wedding, even though I was already technically married to Edward now. I was afraid that I would manage to fall while walking down the isle, or mess up in some other way.
I had no idea what was happening in terms of planning this thing. Alice had taken care of all of that for me, thankfully.
"There's no need for you to be scared, Bella." Rosalie said. "I've done this many times." She smiled and Esme laughed.
"Yes, Rosalie, but you are perfect in every way. Even if you did fall, everyone would say it was planned." She laughed. "Not that you would fall." I added.
They finished with my makeup and hair and Alice brought me into her massive closet. She unzipped the large white bag and pulled out my wedding dress. It was beautiful and old fashioned. Definitely something that Edward would like.
Alice laid it out on the bed so that I could get a good look at it. It was strapless, the bodice looked like it would fit snug around my body. Silver pearls and stones created intricate patterns from the bust through the skirt. The skirt of the dress was long and slim, with a train at least three feet long.
"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." Alice muttered. "Well, old would be the ring and the diamond charm." I shuddered when reminded of the large heart shaped diamond dangling from my left wrist. "Something new…" She thought out loud. "The dress!" She shrieked. "Something borrowed?"
"Here." Rosalie entered the room, followed by Esme. I hadn't even seen them leave. She handed Alice a beautiful necklace laced with a complicated stone design. No doubt those stones were real diamonds. "A gif from my father." She smiled, uncomfortably.
"Oh, wow!" I was shocked. "Thank you, Rosalie." I wanted to hug her.
"No problem, little sis." She shrugged.
I couldn't help it. I threw myself into her stone arms and hugged her and tight as I possibly could. She hugged back and Alice laughed. "I can see now that you two will get along just fine." I smiled.
"So, Bella," Alice started. "What do you think of the bridesmaids dresses that I picked?"
I hadn't even noticed that Esme and Rosalie had changed. They looked absolutely stunning. The dresses were made of red silk. They traveled down to their feet, lightly dusting the floor. Red lave crisscrossed the bust, just under the breast, making it a little more pronounced.
I stiffled and gasp and Alice giggled again.
"You two take her to the church while I get ready."
"Alice?" I stopped her.
"Yeah?"
"What about the blue?" I asked.
Alice and Rosalie burst out laughing. "Oh Bella. The blue is a little surprise for Edward later." Rosalie winked and Alice disappeared into her closet again.
Prancing back to the bed, she handed me a pink bag with darker pink stripes. No good can come from this.
With a shaky hand, I pulled out a blue bra and panties set, if it could even be called that. I gasped and dropped it back into the bag.
"Are you insane?" I shouted.
"Well, you needed something under that dress that wouldn't leave a panty line." She was still laughing.
"Thanks." I grunted.
"Now, you're going to be late for your own wedding. Go!" She demanded.
I followed Rosalie out the door while Esme grabbed the dress, bag, and shoes.
Rosalie drove, with me in front and Esme in the back seat. Edward wanted to get a limo, but luckily Alice talked him out of it. She would have more time to get me ready if one of them drove.
"This is ridiculous." I exclaimed as they led me through the back of the church to a room where I could get ready. They left me alone to get dressed with a final warning not to mess up my hair or makeup.
I put on the undergarments reluctantly and slithered into the dress. I had to admit, it was beautiful. U examined my reflection in the full length mirror and sighed. I was still nothing compared to Edward.
I sat down to put on the shoes when there was a light tap on the door. "I'm almost ready, Alice." My voice sounded shaky, and I knew she would notice.
"Bella, love." It wasn't Alice. Edward's angelic voice rang through my head.
"Oh, Edward!" I jumped up to open the door, but right before I did, I stopped. "Oh!" I sighed.
"What?" He said, still speaking through the door.
"You can't come in. Bad luck."
"Hell if I care." He laughed, opening the door. He stopped in the doorway, looking entirely unfair in his tuxedo with his auburn hair falling sloppily in his eyes. I noticed that he had stopped breathing when I did. "Alice's thoughts did you absolutely no justice." He smiled.
I could feel the heat slowly rising through my cheeks. He brushed his fingers lightly from my temple down to my chin.
"I see something old," he touched the ring. "New." The dress. "And borrowed." I shivered as his cold fingers lifted the necklace. "I could be wrong, but should there be something blue/" This brought the blush on even stronger. Edward chuckled, still waiting for an answer.
"Um…" What should I tell him? "You'll see later." I smiled and blushed harder. Edward laughed.
"Bella? Are you ready yet?" Alice's voice rang down the hall.
"Crap. She wont be happy to see you here."
"Don't worry, she already knows." He frowned.
"You. Out." She pointed at Edward.
He leaned down to kiss me just below the ear. "By the way, I love the 'something blue.'" He smiled and walked to the door. Before leaving, he turned to face Alice. "You know it's not nice to point." He was booming with laughter as he left the room.
"Oh that boy! Good luck to you!" She was fuming and it made me laugh a little. "Good to see you're feeling better. Jasper was freaking out with your nerved." She pouted.
"Jeez, Alice. You seem more worked up about all this than I am!" I laughed again.
Next chapter will be posted by Friday night :)
