(Told y'all the chapters would start to get a little longer. I love writing this, so I'll keep at it. Keep reviewing, though! Much love! xoxo-L)
Me and Edward walked out of the church to get to the limousine (Alice told me she couldn't resist...and while she was renting one anyway, I let her decorate it), and people through rice at us. A piece hit me in the eye, and it started to water.
Edward chuckled. "I swear to God, Bella..."
We got into the back of the long car, off to the after party at the Cullen's. I thought this would be a problem, because when I left that morning, it didn't look at all ready for a party. When I expressed my concern to Edward, however, he laughed.
"Alice bolted from the church as soon as we put our rings on each other," he explained, and I realized that fifteen minutes was probably enough time for her to transform the living room. As he mentioned it, I looked down at the addition to the jewlery on my third finger. It was a thin, yellow gold band, with three tiny diamonds embedded into the top of it. It fit next to my engagement ring perfectly.
We arrived at the big white house, and I saw that Alice had definitely went to the extreme. Big bows and lights and balloons decorated the exterior; I didn't even want to set foot into the living room. I went to open the door, but Edward grabbed my arm.
"Not so fast, silly Bella," he said, pulling me closer to him. "We have to stop at Charlie's first. Alice is telling me we need to go back for just a second. I just had the limo pass by to give you a glimpse of it." And with that, we started driving again, off to my home.
Edward waited in the car as I rushed inside, up to my room. All my toiletries were in a bag, as well as a big bag from Victoria's Secret that I didn't even want to open. I grabbed it all, wondering what other surprises Alice held for me that day, put it in a pink tote bag, also on my bed, and went back outside. Of course I had to trip on my way back into the limo, but Edward had bolted out of the car so quick to hold me up it was like he was expecting it.
We arrived, finally, back at the Cullen house and this time I was allowed to leave the limo. Edward and I walked hand in hand until we were right outside the door.
"You ready, Mrs. Isabella Marie Cullen?? " He asked, not able to conceal his smile as he said my new name.
"As ready as I'll ever be for a party," I stated, and pushed the door open.
I was greeted by cheering, laughing, crying, and a huge banner that read 'CONGRATULATIONS, NEWLYWEDS!'
Oh, God. I could tell I would be needing those tissues again, even though they were sopping with saltwater by now.
But Renee had my back again, because as she gave me a hug she thrust more tissues into my hands. I dabbed my tears as best as I could, hoping that my makeup wasn't smeared all over my face by now.
Phil came up to me and gave me a one-armed hug, which I didn't blame him for. I barely knew him, and he wasn't really the 'hug-your-stepdaughter' kind of guy.
Next was Charlie, and then Esme, followed Carlisle, Emmet, and Alice. Jasper even gave me a pat on the back. Rosalie gave me a small smile, but left quickly. I guess the whole talk we had before was a one-time thing.
Everyone got started on the cake that was bigger than me. Edward and I fed each other, just like the traditional way. I was surprised he actually let me feed him a mouthful of cake, just because everyone was watching. He chewed quickly and swallowed, maintaining a smile the entire time. If I hadn't known he didn't eat food, I wouldn't gave guessed that he probably felt like he just ate dirt.
Before I knew it, the party was over, and the guests were slowly coming up to me to say their goodbyes before I set off the Alaska the next day. God, I would probably be out of tears by the end of the day.
Soon enough, the house was empty except for me and my new family. We all chatted and laughed, going over every detail of the wedding. I was having such a great time that I didn't notice the family members leaving one by one. Suddenly, me and Edward were alone.
"Where did everyone go?" I asked, as I snuggled into him.
"They all went out to hunt until tomorrow afternoon. You really think they'd join us for our honeymoon?" He snickered, and I laughed at how much of an idiot I was.
"So...we're all alone?" I asked, making sure.
"Yes."
"No one else is here."
"They can't even hear us."
"In that case, give me a human moment." I said, grabbed the pink tote bag from the corner of the room, and ran upstairs to the bathroom.
I brushed my teeth and reapplied more eyeliner. My hair was still miraculously curly, so I ran a brush through it and looked into the lingerie bag, preparing for the worst.
Oh, God.
How much did Alice spend? There was a set of practically see-through bra and underwear, along with some 'toys' that I didn't even recognize. I put on the undergarments and read the instructions on all the little erotic toys, trying to figure out what to do with them.
By the time I had even the faintest idea of what I was doing, I looked at a clock in the bathroom. It had been nearly an hour. I stuffed everything in the bag, and wrapped a silk robe that I had found around my practically-naked self.
I walked into Edward's room, and saw him lying there, though he had slipped out of his jacket and shoes. I sauntered over to the bed, stumbling only once, and looked deep into his eyes.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" He said, his eyes smoldering.
"Very sure,"I confirmed, and slipped out of my robe.
