DISCLAIMER: I'm sorry to say that twilight doesn't belong to me, but instead to Stephenie Meyer
Chapter 2: I thought you'd never ask.
APOV
I've seen this moment happen in my head before, knowing that it would be only a matter of days before the wedding when she asked to go shopping.
We drove all the way out to Seattle, because I had to make this big, although I knew I would regret it.
"Alice, since when has there been a lingerie store this big?" her jaw was dropped lower than I thought possible. "Since forever silly!", I couldn't help but giggle at the expression on her face, "Now let's hurry, so we can beat everybody else home!" and with that we ran into the store.
We walked out of the store, bag in my hands. Bella had refused to carry it through the parking lot, simply because she would turn red permanently, as she had put it. I had decided to not argue, she had pushed herself out of her comfort zone when she got in my Porsche, actually knowing where we were going and what kind of pain she was going to endure with me. If only she knew how much worse it would've been with Rosalie there.
"I don't think I feel well, Alice." She really sounded kind of sick. "Would ice cream make Bella Bride Barbie feel better?" I tried to be somewhat sincere considering how many ways that comment could've been taken. "You know Alice, I think it would."
I made her finish her snack before she got back in my most prized possession. She looked very deep in thought all day, as she usually is when Edward's gone. "Bella, is something wrong?" Her in-depth look was really starting to frighten me.
"Do you know where Edward and I are going for our honeymoon, Alice?" I felt relief wash through me after anticipating a different question.
"Oh Bella, it is perfect! I…" I decide to stop knowing that Edward would kill me if I gave away one of her last human surprises, "I can't tell you. I'm sorry." I felt terrible not telling her.
"Is it within North America, Western Hemisphere? I need some details here Alice! Pleeeaaase?" she looked over at me with huge brown eyes and a puppy dog lip. "That's not going to work on me Bella, I created that look. The consequences of ruining your last human surprise would be to great for me to even think of." I knew that every word of what I said was completely and honestly true.
"We're home now Bella. Edward will be back in about half an hour, so enjoy the time I give you alone." It was surprising how much time we wasted shopping. But any time spent shopping was good time indeed. Bella would come to realize that shopping was a good time filler when you had forever to do anything. She will one day be thankful for me introducing her to shopping. We had about another fifteen minutes; because I thought it would be funny if Edward surprised Bella with his 'unexpected' return.
I decided that now would be a good time to plan my outfit for tomorrow. Then I blacked out.
"Alice, thank god you're here! Would you help Bella into her dress while I make sure her hair stays intact?", "Of course Renee! Anything to help the bride and her mother.", "Thank the heavens for you, Alice! You're the sister Bella never had." Renee started her third crying fit of the day.
That vision was truly one of the happiest I'd ever had. I would cry if I could, looking forward for that moment soon to come.
