Chapter 18: (Bella's POV)
I scrunched my eyes farther shut as the light in the room got brighter. I lay there fake sleeping thinking about the past few days. I hadn't noticed how fast the time was passing. Alice had cancelled the rehearsal dinner. Instead there had just been a small meeting at the Cullen's house. We decided that was one meal the Cullen's didn't need to pretend to eat.
Then Alice had surprised me with a girls night out as a bacholorette party. All the bridesmaids had gotten a hotel room in Port Angeles. Me and Angela in one and Alice and Rosalie next door. That's when I remembered. I opened my eyes slowly beginning to remember this room.
The sound of a shower running came from behind me, "About time!"
I turned to see Alice sitting on the bed across from me, almost bouncing up and down in anticipation. Behind her Rosalie sat on the couch, staring at the TV which wasn't on.
"Ready for your big day?" Alice cheered. Holy crap today was the day. I couldn't believe it. Today, me and Edward together, forever, officially. Edward, I smiled as I thought of him. I wonder what his brothers were doing to him. Alice said something about an all night hunt.
"Hello! Earth to Bella?" Alice stood in front of me waving a hand in front of my face.
I smiled back at her. "Can't wait." I said truthfully.
Angela walked out of the bathroom then. "Hey! Bella your up!"
"Hey Ang!"
"No more small talk, we have to get moving. Bella, in the shower now!" Alice commanded.
"Yes Sergeant Alice!" I said saluting her on my way in. Rosalie laughed from her place on the couch.
I moved quickly hoping this meant that the sooner we left the sooner we would be home to see Edward. Alice had other plans, it was going to be a long day.
Alice and Rosalie wanted to do my hair in makeup but decided it would be faster to go to a salon, to get theirs and Angela's done.
I asked Alice for her cell phone while I waited. "Who are you calling?" she asked as I dialed.
"Edward of course, how long do you expect me to go without talking to him?" Angela giggled while Rosalie rolled her eyes.
"I suppose the rule says he can't see you, I don't think it says anything about talking to him day of. Go ahead," she said as if I was waiting for her permission.
"Edward!" I cheered into the phone as he answered on the first ring.
"Bella," he breathed, even by his soft voice I could tell he was ecstatic, "How are you?"
"Never better," I said truthfully now that I could here his voice again, "I missed you though."
"I missed you too, I'll see you soon."
"I can't wait."
"Really?" he asked surprised.
"Really."
"How was your party last night?"
"Interesting," he laughed apparently I missed some unknown joke.
The phone ripped from my ear then. "Alice!" I whined.
"Sorry Edward, but Bella has a tight schedule, she'll talk to you later." She snapped the phone shut.
I pouted but, puppy dog eyes and all, but Alice didn't seem to noticed she lead us all back to her Porsche. We were soon on our way to what ever Alice had planned next.
Their hair all looked awesome, and suddenly I felt like a bum. Angela and Rosalie had their hair in loose curls with half of it pulled up, while Alice had her simply curled as much as her short hair would hold. They all had simple make-up eyeliner and mascara, but they all looked incredible, even Angela although she was competing with the vampire's extreme beauty. Rosalie was as breathtaking as ever.
The next stop was nails. Alice insisted we all had to have are toenails done as well as are fingers though we all had closed toed shoes that hardly even showed due the dresses length. Even Rosalie was beginning to look annoyed with Alice, and this was her sort of thing. For the first time in my life I got a pedicure, and a French manicure, it was actually pretty nice.
"Alice, slow down!" Angela called as we sped back home. I'd forgotten Angela had never been in a car driven by a Cullen before.
"But this is how I drive!" Alice purred at one with her car.
"We don't need to get in an accident and get Bella killed on her wedding day!" If anyone but a Cullen was driving I would have agreed but at this point I had accepted their ridiculous driving habits. Since Alice wouldn't be able to explain this logic to Angela without blowing a rather big secret she slowed down slightly.
We still reached the white mansion much more quickly than should have been possible. As we pulled up the driveway I caught a glimpse of the large white tent being assembled in the Cullen's backyard, where the ceremony and reception would be held.
The ceremony would be short and take place at twilight, not only because of the significance but also on the off chance that the sun would shine that day. Alice had predicted perfectly that the weather would be completely overcast but rain-free, but with more than half of the wedding party being vampires, sunshine was an unnecessary risk.
Alice quickly led me inside and up to her vast bathroom, as Rosalie and Angela followed behind. She pushed me into a chair, and Angela leaned against the wall as Rosalie and Alice began working on me. "This place is incredible!" she commented as the other two began curling my flat and lifeless hair.
I lost count of the number of gels that were in my hair but soon they were almost done and Rosalie began my make-up. "Hold still." She commanded as she began applying a white shimmery eye shadow to my twitching eyelids. Despite my unhelpfulness she finished quickly adding eyeliner mascara and red lipstick. They spun me around in my chair to face the mirror.
My jaw dropped, "Thanks," I whispered staring in the mirror. They had done and incredible job of course. Alice's phone buzzed.
"Oh!" she gasped reading the screen, "You need to get you dress on we are going to be late!"
It took all three of them to help me get the dress on. But eventually it happened, and though I knew it was selfish I knew I looked beautiful .Alice lead me down the stairs, supporting me like a toddler learning to walk, which isn't an understatement of what I looked like walking in the five inch stilettos.
Alice pulled me into the living room into a space that was curtained off. Renee sat there waiting for me.
"My baby!" she cried jumping up to hug me, "I can't believe how grown up you look, how grown up you are!"
"Mom," I said my eyes filling with tears as I hugged her tighter. There was a brief comfortable silence as we hugged each other until she pulled away, placing her hands on my shoulders.
"You look so beautiful," she sighed eyeing the dress, "The dress is interesting, it's just like you to choose something so vintage, my little old lady." she ended chuckling.
I laughed too, I'd forgotten that people would be surprised by the dress. Charlie walked in then and he quickly wiped the tears out of his eyes.
"Are you ready to do this?" he asked holding out his arm.
I smiled and stepped toward him.
"I guess that's my cue," Renee said pecking me on the cheek before walking outside to join the other guests.
"I'm ready."
Okay making it tough now, two comments before I post the rest! :D
