Chapter Three
Thanks so much to the people who reviewed :)
"So whatddaya think?" Alice asked me expectantly.
How the hell was I going to explain this? I couldn't exactly tell her that her stupid choice was going to fuck me up and possibly fuck her wedding up too.
I'd just have to lie, it seemed.
"Sounds great…" I trailed off, trying to keep my mind off Edward Cullen… and failing. "Who are the other bridesmaids and groomsmen?"
"Don't worry, you know them all. I don't want any awkwardness at my wedding." She laughed.
Oh there would be awkwardness all right.
"I have Rosalie and Kate as my other bridesmaids, and Emmett and Garrett as my groomsmen."
Great, the four of them were couples with each-other. I was screwed, and so was Edward it seemed.
"We're holding a gathering next Saturday at our flat at around one so you guys can all meet each-other again and we can discuss wedding plans."
Oh shit.
I needed more than a week to prepare for mine and Edward's inevitable reunion. Hell, I was making it sound as if we were married and then broke up from the way I was carrying on. Pull yourself together, Bella, I reminded myself. He's only a guy.
An insanely hot guy who I've been unable to get out of my mind despite my constant efforts.
Oh shut up stupid conscious, you're not helping anything.
…
"Great." I forced a smile, resisting the urge to grimace.
"I knew everything would work out like this!" Alice squealed.
Her excitement was getting sort of getting annoying now, but that was just because I felt pissed, and when I was pissed I turned into a total bitch. I was a bit of a hypocrite considering that I'd been just as excited five minutes ago. The five minutes before Edward Cullen's name had been spoken, that is. I needed to tell her what my problem was now before it was too late. Alice was very perceptive and she'd notice straight away if I started hyperventilating internally once I saw him again.
Before I could even open my mouth to speak the words, Alice was out of her seat.
"I've got to go see Jasper now. We'll talk on Saturday. Bye!" She gave me a quick hug, grabbed her handbag and caramel latte, and was out of the coffee shop before I could even blink.
So much for my plan to fess up.
I put two drabbles in one today, don't you think I deserve a nice review :)
