After about another fifteen minutes of controlled fun, Edward was off.
He got into his car and raced home. When he reached the house he went inside with a huge smile on his face.
"What's up with you?" Alice met him at the door.
"Alice, I never got what made you and Jasper so happy, I mean I heard your thoughts but I still never got it, but now I know I'm in love." Edward laughed, he had never felt the way he did now.
"Awww, how cute." Alice pinched his cheek.
Edward pushed her hand away, "shut up." He looked around the house, "the house looks great, what do you need me to do?"
"Well you have a keen eye, just anything that you see missing I guess." Alice picked up a large handbag.
"So where are you going?" Edward asked.
"Over to Bella's house." She said happily.
Edward laughed, "all right, just don't kill her."
"What do you mean kill her?" Alice was a little offended.
"What I mean is just don't over do the teenage girlyness." Edward thought about prom and remembered how beautiful Bella was, he also remembered how unhappy she was.
"Okay, okay fine I will take it easy on your precious Bella." Alice teased.
"That's right, you better." Edward laughed.
Alice took off and Edward looked around the house, "not bad." He said to himself.
"Yeah, when Alice gets going she doesn't stop, the only reason she asked you to come here is to steal Bella for the makeover." Jasper laughed.
"Well that's nice, she didn't have to lure me away if the girls wanted girl time then-"
"Then you would have been in the chair next to them, come on Ed, you and I are in the same boat about our girls."
Edward laughed, Jasper could lighten a mood even without his powers.
Jasper and Edward talked for a few hours and fixed anything that Alice might have forgotten, which wasn't much, as they waited for the girls come over. Around seven o' clock Edward started to wonder what was taking so long. Then he heard the doorbell ring, he went to go answer it. He opened the door and a group of people from school stood right outside the door, he put a hostess grin on and welcomed everyone in. Some just walked in and went into the house looking around, these were the people that didn't make it to Bella birthday party and were still in the dark about the Cullen house. Others congratulated him and patted him on the back. Edward went back into the house and mingled with the guest, everyone kept asking where Bella was.
I wish I could tell you. Was all he could think of.
Every five minutes Edward looked over to the door. Finally when he looked over to the door, he saw it open and Alice walk in, she was searching the room. Edward figured she was looking for him so he waved his hand in the air. Alice spotted him and signaled him to come over, she looked very urgent. Edward raced over to her.
"What's wrong, where is Bella?" He sounded very worried.
"Nothing is wrong I just want you guys to have an entrance." Alice smiled. "And Bella just agreed to do it so we have to hurry before she changes her mind."
"Okay, okay." Edward put up his hands to stop her from talking.
He went outside and there she was, the love of his life, his never ending life. She had on flip flops that had a slight heel on the bottom, a pair of light blue jeans and a black spaghetti strap shirt that was as long as a mini-dress. Her face was glowing with a touch of make up, light lip gloss and very little blush, Bella didn't need make up she has such a natural beauty, at last her hair was pulled up into a messy bun that had strands hanging down in her face that made her look classy, beautiful and sexy all at the same time.
Edward was staring at Bella for what seemed like forever.
"What?" Bella demanded as she looked down and around herself.
"He's speechless." Alice smiled, my work here is done. She thought to herself.
"Wow, Bella, you look amazing." Edward could not keep his eyes off of her, not like he ever wanted to look away from her but tonight it was like glue, his eyes were stuck to her.
"Thank you." Bella blushed.
"Okay, you guys can do that for the next 100 years if you want, but the people in there are waiting now!" Alice was the most excited she had been in a long time. She went inside to announce them as Bella and Edward waited outside hand in hand. The doors opened and Bella heard a wave of people cheering, whistling and clapping for the newly engaged couple.
Bella blushed an even brighter shade of red, good thing the lights were dimmed. But of course, Edward knew and he gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.
Bella walked inside as she received hugs from every which way. She had one of the biggest smiles Bella had ever worn.
About a half hour into the party everyone had gotten past the hugs, claps on the backs, good luck's, and congratulations
Bella looked around the room and was wandering how many people she actually knew. That was when she saw, Mike sulking in the corner of the room.
Why did he even come if he was going to be a party pooper.
But before Bella could linger too much on the thought she saw Jessica hopping over to her, mouthing the words, Oh My God, over and over until she finally got to her. She gave Bella the biggest hug she had gotten today.
"Bella Oh my God, I couldn't believe it when I got the news. And let me just put it out there, I am jealous, but of course you know that. What girl in here is not jealous,your marrying THE Edward Cullen. Anyways, congrats girl, oh cute boy, be back." Jessica gave her one more hug and took off.
Bella just shook her head and laughed.
Edward looked around the room, this party is even bigger then the last, Alice doesn't mess around. He scanned the room and saw Bella laughing, she was actually having fun at a party, what are the odds. At that moment Edward heard a thought, someone was about to try to ruin the party. Edward looked through narrow eyes to see where the boy was, and then he saw him on his way over to Bella was Jacob Black.
Edward weaved in and out of people to get to Bella, luckily she was with Alice.
"Hey Alice would you mind getting all the cider out I want to make a toast soon?"Edward asked, as he signaled her to take Bella with her.
" Yeah, sure,...uh Bella would you come with me?" Alice asked, she knew what was coming, she wanted to tell him to be careful, but she couldn't without telling Bella what was going on.
"Of course."
"Before you do that, Bella-"
Bella turned around and saw Jacob with Edward right behind him covering his mouth.
"Okay, we can do this the hard way or the easy way, one way or another you will be dealt with." Edward said patiently.
Jacob struggled and tried to get away from Edward and closer to Bella.
"I see." Was all Edward said. He looked around the room and signaled Emmet and Jasper to meet him.
