Chapter 11:
I got into Edwards car just minutes after Charlie left for work. I was at the Cullen's house so much now it seemed like I really should just move in. Ha, Charlie would have my head. I knew I should just let my last days with him be happy ones.
I couldn't believe it. Suddenly I knew I had less than a week until I'd be immortal and even better than that with Edward. His cold arm wrapped around my waist and I knew I wasn't scared. I smiled up at him.
"What?" he asked his velvet voice warming the air despite the pounding rain outside.
"I just realized that I'm not scared. I'm ready to marry you, to be a vampire everything."
His lips pressed to mine, molding perfectly. "Me too," he whispered as he let me breathe. I caught my breath and kissed him again. My hands were in his hair, and I could feel his stone arms around my neck, I felt so fragile in his strength. I was getting lightheaded, when his phone rang. He answered it as I gasped for breath.
"Yeah Alice, were coming." He snapped the phone shut and simultaneously whipped out of the driveway. I clawed at the seat, realizing I'd forgotten to buckle my seatbelt. I groaned.
"What happened? I thought you were ready for the wedding, you said you weren't scared." He looked concerned.
"I didn't say I wasn't afraid of Alice," I muttered not really to him, though I knew he could hear me. "When is all this planning going to be over with?" I looked up at him as I spoke, he was grinning.
"We're done planning now were decorating."
"But Alice told me I wouldn't get to see until day of."
"I know, but Alice can't decide, we have to go choose between about twenty different color themes, and she wants you to choose the bridesmaid dresses."
"Ugh, I don't know how many more decisions my mind can take." I said grumpily grabbing his hand as he pulled me out of the car."
He hugged me softly. "Think of it this way," he whispered in my ear, "Could you imagine if Alice chose?" I frowned to my self as I envisioned myself walking down a Barbie-Girl themed isle.
"You're right," I said giggling, "Let's go."
Edward pulled me in the door and at first I was pretty sure they'd set a blind painter loose, then I realized there were just color swatches everywhere.
"Finally!" Alice said dramatically shoving me and Edward towards the couch. "Okay, I've narrowed it town to twenty color themes now pick your favorite!"
In the end we chose a black and white theme, with roses that were stained bright blue, to throw in some color.
Then Alice dragged me to her room that was exploding with dresses. "Okay, I bought each bridesmaid a dress in each style and color. What do you think?"
"I think you're crazy," I said. She had to have over three-hundred dresses in the room. I could only imagine what Edward was facing. Alice had sent him there to look at the different styles of tuxes.
Alice must have ignored my comment. "Okay, so we've narrowed it down to the blue and black dresses, we don't want white because then you wont stand out in your dress. And yours is more of a cream color and that would look just terrible next to white. Yes, I think we need to go with either blue or black…" she was ranting to herself. She grabbed by hand leading me into the sea of blue and black in the corner of her closet. I hope she doesn't try on everyone, then again she probably already has.
After what felt like hours Edward came into to find me and Alice frustrated and undecided between two black dresses and a royal blue one. He showed me the tux they'd decided on and Alice insisted the vest would go perfectly with the blue dress. Apparently, "we" had made our decision.
