Finally an update! I know you've all been waiting. I had to do a rewrite. I just HAD to. Musically Inclined reminded me of something.
This is MY story. Not Stephenie's. These are her characters, but not her plot. I don't believe in sex before marriage, and just because in the book Edward promised Bella sex, doesn't mean that's what happens here. I don't know why i wrote that. It was stupid. Anyways, I'm very sorry. I just got my senses knocked back into me. I hope you still enjoy it.
A/N: I don't own Twilight. NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL!
Bella POV
I woke up sweating and screaming.
Edward's soft voice sounded in my ear. "Sh, it'll be okay love. Do you want to tell me what happened?"
I most positively did not want to tell Edward about my dream last night.
"No. It was just a bad dream." I laughed nervously. That was an understatement.
Edward kissed my forehead softly, "If you're sure."
"Yes." I nodded my head quickly.
I sat up and looked for an outfit. "Does this one just scream 'Future Mrs. Cullen,' or what?" I laughed as I took my clothes out of my closet.
"That's what I was thinking." Edward smiled that crooked smile that could bring me to my knees.
I walked towards the bathroom quickly, hoping Edward wouldn't notice my blush. It was a worthless effort.
"You look ravishing when you blush like that." He stood and kissed me. I pulled away immediately.
Edward cocked his head to the side, "Did I do something wrong?"
"You look so cute when you do that." I blushed, did I just say that out loud? "Uh, no. Morning breath."
Edward laughed as I made my exit to the bathroom.
I showered and dressed hurriedly. I wanted to get to Edward as soon as possible. I brushed my teeth thoroughly. On the way back into my bedroom I tossed my pajamas into the dirty clothes hamper.
When I finally reached my room Edward was sitting – perfect as ever – in my rocking chair.
"Edward!" I squealed. The thought that tomorrow I would be Mrs. Cullen brought me to my personal euphoria.
He chuckled as I jumped into his lap. "Bella!" His mock yell made me smile.
"Let's stay here today. No one is supposed to be home right? Aren't they all hunting for the wedding?"
"No Bella, that was the old plan remember. You are the only human now." Despite the harsh context, Edward said it gently.
"Oh, that's right." I swallowed hard. I had to keep a hold of myself. It wasn't that big a deal. I'd just never see them again. It would be fine. I rolled my eyes. "I just forgot that's all."
"Bella, its okay to be upset. You don't have to feign happiness."
"Edward I am happy. I'm more than happy. I want tomorrow to be today."
He smiled at me, making my stomach flip.
"Let's go downstairs. Maybe we could have some fun with Alice and Emmett."
I nodded. "Sounds good. One condition though. I command you to carry me." I poked his chest with my pointer finger as I giggled softly.
He stood and put on a fake mask of seriousness. "Of course madam."
I couldn't help but laugh at the british accent Edward put on.
Carrying me bridal style, Edward ran down the stairs and stopped an inch from the wall, scaring me senseless.
"Edward that was –" I stopped as I heard Emmett laughing in the other room.
"Edward never really learned how to walk properly."
A growl sounded from the chest of my future husband.
"Hold on Bella." He stood me up and turned slowly. I moved to the side so I could see his face.
His eyes suddenly turned black with a fierce glow. He crouched into a position I only saw when he was fighting. It was as if he turned into a lion. He growl sounded throughout the house.
Emmett immediately followed Edward into a crouch. His eyes glowed in the same fierce expression.
This was the third fake fight I'd seen with Emmett in the last few weeks. I stepped back and waited for Esme to call out her usual warning.
"Break anything and I break you neck boys."
At the same time Emmett and Edward replied, "Yes mom."
I laughed at the scripted lines. It was always the same. Edward would win, Emmett would forcefully command another round. Emmett would win. Round three would determine the winner. That was the only surprise.
I took my normal seat on the couch and watched as the fight began.
Unlike the other times though, Tanya suddenly was sitting beside me.
"Is this usual for them?" Tanya laughed like chimes in the wind, beautifully.
"Yes." I mumbled. Then a little louder I said, "Edward usually wins." Emmett abruptly stopped and stood up straight as a board.
"Edward usually what!?"
Edward flew through the air and pounded Emmett into the ground.
"I believe she said Edward usually wins." Edward laughed and stood up and pretended to dust off his clothes.
"Good plan love." Edward winked at me.
Tanya stared back and forth between us and scoffed. I turned my head to glare at her as she smiled with fake innocence.
I looked back at Edward and Emmett as round two began.
"So, how many times have you and Edward had sex?"
I was surprised at the bluntness of her question. Edward stopped wrestling and looked up at us as Emmett punched his face. He quickly averted his attention back to the fight again.
"Uh, we haven't at all." I stammered.
"Oh. I'm so embarrassed for you." Her face was all surprise.
"Why?" I couldn't help being curious. I wanted to know what she was up to now.
"Well, I mean, you'd think, if he loved you enough, he'd give you what you want now. I mean we're already damned so why wait?" She shrugged and walked away.
I couldn't see any motive in that. I had no idea how that was supposed to tear Edward and me apart. Maybe she truly was surprised we hadn't yet.
I watched the rest of the fight angered. Tanya didn't know the extent of our love. Edward and I didn't need to have sex. We had each other.
Alice came running into the living room. I heard the soft "whoosh" as she landed next to me.
"Edward wins." She whispered in my ear.
"Not fair! That's cheating!" Emmett screamed at Alice.
Alice just stuck her tongue out at him. I laughed as Edward gave Emmett the final blow. In the process of tackling him they broke one of Esme's vases. Everyone gasped but Alice.
"I knew that would happen yesterday." She smirked obviously pleased with herself.
"Boys!?"
Emmett and Edward glanced back and forth from the vase to each other.
"Rock, paper, scissors says whose fault it is." Emmett quickly decided.
"I'll win. I can tell what you're going to do." Edward looked at his dumbfounded brother and shook his head.
"It's your fault, you started it." Emmett pointed at Edward. "Right Bella?"
"I'm not getting into this!" I went upstairs with Alice as Esme came storming into the living room.
"Who did it?"
Alice and I laughed as we heard their replies sound at the same time.
"Edward!"
"Emmett!"
"Alice?" Esme called.
"Yes?"
"Who did it?"
"Technically, Edward pushed Emmett into the vase, but Emmett started it by saying Edward didn't know how to walk."
Both boys groaned.
Esme laughed. "The money is coming out of both your accounts."
I laughed. "It's a good thing Edward didn't get grounded. We're getting married tomorrow! It'd be such a day ruiner."
Alice laughed with me as we walked to her room.
We looked at my wedding dress and hers and tried them on. We messed around in them until it was time for rehearsals.
We changed back into our previous sets of clothes.
"Bella come on, you don't want to be late for your own rehearsal do you?" Emmett laughed as I walked down the stairs.
"Everyone is here, and it's in the backyard. I don't think I will be late Emmett." I shoved him, or at least tried. He didn't budge at all.
I walked up to Carlisle as everyone went to their places.
"Carlisle, can I speak to you for a moment?"
"Of course Bella."
I bit my lip slightly nervous to ask this. "I was wondering if you'd walk me down the aisle. You're like my second father, and since Charlie can't make it, well, would you?"
"I'd love to Bella. It would be an honor." He smiled at me and squeezed my shoulders affectionately.
I smiled and went to the back door, waiting for John, the preacher, to do the run through.
After the reception Alice wanted to play dress up again. We raided her closet and she put me in the fanciest dresses she owned. It was over all fun. Until she made me wear heels.
"Come on Bella, please?" The famous puppy dog face was once again used against me.
"Fine." I mumbled as she ran for the death traps.
She forced me to walk around the room, saying "I foresee that you will not fall or trip."
I couldn't argue with Alice.
After a half an hour of trying on different sizes of heels I begged Alice to let me go. I was hunger and I was in pain from the shoes.
"Fine. Edward's got some Chinese dinner waiting for you." Alice obviously wasn't pleased with my decision to stop.
When I went downstairs Edward had some cheesy Chinese music playing. I laughed hysterically when I saw that the kitchen was decorated with paper lanterns and fans.
On the kitchen table Edward had placed a plate with chopsticks beside it. He was sitting on the opposite end grinning from ear to ear.
"Hungry?"
"Starving" I smiled as I sat down.
I tried to eat with the chopsticks at first, but my coordination prevented success.
"Silverware my love?"
"Yes please." I blushed lightly. When I was a vampire I'd be able to use a pair of stinking chop sticks.
Wait, I couldn't eat.
Edward sat patiently, waiting for me to finish.
By the time I was done my feet hurt so bad I couldn't even enjoy the fact that my stomach wasn't growling at me anymore.
"What's wrong Bella? You've had that same disgusted face for five minutes." Edward's eyebrows met in the middle, definite sign of confusion.
"Nothing." I grunted.
"Bella, what is wrong? Did I not cook the food to your liking?"
"No the food was exceptional. I just hurt."
Immediately Edward was at my side.
"Is it your feet?"
"Yes." I mumbled. I loathed Alice for making me wear those 7 inch heels.
Edward picked me up and ran to our room. I sprawled out on the bed and he sat at the end of it.
"Would you like me to rub your feet?"
Internally I jumped for joy. "Please!"
Edward smiled and started massaging my aching feet.
Excitement for tomorrow rushed over me. I couldn't wait to fall asleep so that the next morning I could be Mrs. Edward Cullen. I smiled to myself at the thought. I looked down at my ring and wiggled my finger.
"Sleep Bella. Tomorrow will be a big day." Edward crawled up to my head and kissed me once, gently.
I smiled up at him, "I love you."
"I love you, too." He started humming my lullaby as I drifted into drowsiness.
I yawned hugely. I wasn't sure if it came out clearly or slurred when I said, "One more day."
But I knew Edward understood.
Good, bad, or otherwise? Please review! I hope you all like it. WEDDING TOMORROW!!
