Sorry everyone for how long this took to update, I had about three chapters ready before, but I ended up wiping my hard drive, sorry again and I don't know when I'll update again but soon I can promise regular updates, just please have a bit of patience lol.
I was right. The whole fiasco seemed to last an eternity, every time I tried to weasel him in to taking us home he would say something along the lines of "this is your last night as a single man, enjoy every minute of it" and every time I would glare at him so viciously that for a moment he'd falter, but then he would laugh and slap me on the back, or worse pounce on me and start a wrestling match. "Emmett, get off me dammit," I growled, "we have to leave now, or we'll be late." Emmett just laughed at shook his head. "Emmett, if you make me late to my wedding I swear I will disembowel you." Emmett laughed and exclaimed "let's see you try." As if that Edward could ever really take me, ha! "But Rose could." I said smiling evilly, instantly his face paled and he stared at me. "I could tell her what you thought of that girl at the gas station…" Emmett glared at me "fine have it your way let's go." He sulked and huffed his way to the car and Jasper whose presence I'd almost forgotten followed behind chuckling to himself.
When we finally got home I ran inside, I almost jumped for joy when I picked out Bella's distinctive scent from the smell of the upholstery in the living room and almost overpowering scent of freesia, orange blossoms, lilac, and roses wreathed around the house, but Bella's scent was the only one that mattered, for a moment I just stood there inhaling it, then I noticed the way Esme was staring at me, what is he doing? She said silently, "Nothing" I answered out loud and Esme looked down at the floor if she were human I knew she would have blushed.
Esme dragged me out into the hall and proceeded to stuff me into the guest room with a tux. I put it on in a few seconds then came out of the room, Esme grinned "you look so dashing!" she exclaimed hugging me. I smiled I had anticipated Esme being sentimental, oh I just can't believe he's getting married today! Now he'll finally have someone to love! Her thoughts drifted to Carlisle and I politely concentrated on other things, like futilely attempting to read Bella's mind. What could she be thinking right now? Was she thinking of what she was going to fore me to do to her tomorrow night? Or was she just thinking about how today we'd truly be bonded for eternity? Lost in thought I didn't notice Charlie until I smelled him standing about six feet behind me, I smelled the satin fibers in his tux and heard the pounding in his veins. It's okay Charlie calm down, you don't have to like him. He makes Bella happy, as long as Bella's happy it's worth it…. "Charlie?" I asked without turning around, I heard the shift in his clothing as he jumped. :I just ant you to know… I really appreciate how… understanding you've been. And I thank you for letting me be with her, even though we both know I don't deserve her." I turned to face him and in Charlie's eyes I could see that he agreed with me, then, he covered it up with a grim smile. "You make her happy, that's all that matters. But if you hurt her again Edward I will put up my badge and I will kill you." The way his eyes glinted when he said it I had no doubt that he would find some imaginative way to kill me vampire or not, but I also knew I wouldn't try to stop him. "I understand Charlie and I promise I will try as hard as I can to make Bella happy. She means more to me than you can imagine. I would give my life to protect her." Charlie grunted, images of Bella the night they found her, the night I made the biggest mistake of my life shifted through his mind and I found myself pinching the bridge of my nose and taking deep breaths. The hinting of Bella's scent calmed me and I looked Charlie in the eye. "I will never leave her again." I whispered. Charlie nodded, "I'm going to go wait at the door you know, for guests to arrive and whatnot." He muttered then he shuffled away uncomfortably. I leaned against the wall though I was perfectly comfortable standing, I could stay in one position all day, but I had to look human here so Charlie wouldn't suspect anything. I kept crossing and uncrossing my legs and reaching up to scratch an imaginary itch. I breathed in the scent of the wood in the wall as well as the tangy smell of paint. But all I could think of was my Bella I could hear the steady pounding of her heart and the light whispers of her voice I strained to hear better, DON'T YOU DARE EDWARD I WILL KILL YOU!!! Alice shouted at me in my head I shuddered it was a good thing I was downstairs because I could just imagine her eyes glinting evilly at me right before she pounced. I laughed to myself shaking my head, but I was distracted by the delicious scent that was starting to billow up the driveway. Mmmmmmmmmmm I heard Jasper in his mind as he inhaled deeply, I flashed a glare at him across the room, he shifted too quickly for humans to noice and managed to hold his breath for a while then he smiled at me, It's okay, I'm fine now, that Jessica girl just smells so good. I calmed down and I felt him drawing closer to me because he could feel the happiness radiating off me in waves. I smiled at him and he laughed quietly, what can I say, I just love a good emotional climate. He shrugged then turned to the door, just as Jessica and Mike entered the room, Jessica had her hand draped formally over mike's arm, but from his thoughts I knew he only came here to try and win Bella over and that Jessica was just here to make her jealous. I shook my head Mike was incorrigible, I smiled to myself, you fool, I thought, she's already mine. Why do you even bother? I wished I could ask him this but I knew I would have t explain how I knew his deepest desires. I just wished they didn't include my Bella. Huh, look at him in that tux, as if this is real. He probably got my sweet Bella pregnant, well when he leaves her to for some random floozy I'll be the one to comfort her, soon I'll be undressing her and kissing her… I stared at Mike trying not to vomit all over his pathetic blond hair, which he'd styled to look like mine, how dare he think such things of my Bella, my sweet pure bride. But soon his mental voice was, thankfully drowned out by other arriving guests. Then Angela's pleasant voice was present and I felt myself relax back into my joy. Angela was definitely Bella's best friend she had one of the kindest most earnest minds I'd ever experienced. Oh, I really hope this works out for Bella, she and Edward are so great together. Maybe it'll be Ben and me at the alter someday… I sincerely hoped they would, Ben was a good guy and I could tell he cared genuinely about Angela, I hoped they were as happy together as Bella and I were.
Then people started sitting down in the chairs that filled the room, with the altar at the end of the end of the rows of chairs. I made my way up the aisle to stand at the altar, the priest was standing just behind me, "Congratulations son, it's wonderful to see you've found love so young." The man clapped me on the back and beamed, I smiled back, but then I heard it, the light tap of shoes on the stairs I was instantly riveted upon the angel making her way down the stairs. She was a goddess clothed in a long white dress that flowed around her supple breasts down her slim waist creating a lond elegant bell shape around her legs, I could see her delicate foot sticking out from the bottom of her skirt as she descended the stairs, her chocolate eyes glowed and her sensual lips parted smoothly, I stared up at her totally stunned by her gorgeous face. Bella.
