Edward POV (Platt)
This was a strange sense of déjà vu. We were all sitting on the stairs and this time Bella was on the step below me, in between my legs and she leaned against me. I played with her super soft hair-which by the way is amazing!-and we waited for Daddy Dearest my Mother Nature to come. Wait, what has my mom done for nature anyway?
"I wonder what's keeping them" Caitlin said from next to Bella. I tugged on her ponytail.
"Me too babe" I said and looked to the window from the kitchen to see them talking. Mom looked nervous as they walked into the house and looked to all 18 of us. Oh my damn.
"Today, we scheduled you all dance lessons" Mom said with a held breath. We all stared. Does she seriously think we need dance lessons? I mean ain't no Justin Bieber, but I can dance!
"Mom, do we have to have lessons?" Trevor asked. Mom shrugged. Does that mean no? Thank god!
"Look, there's going to be a lot of dancing at this wedding, and I want you guys to be perfect! Now, we leave in 10 go get ready, and girls please put on a pair of heels for this lesson. I want you guys to get used to wearing them, and dancing in them for the wedding" Mom smiled and we all went to our rooms to get ready. Ugh, we have to get lessons. I pouted. Bella stood up and helped me up and I led her to my room.
"So, I have a question" She said as I closed my door and locked it. She giggled as I trapped her against it and nodded.
"What are we?" She asked. I stopped in my tracks. I really didn't know what were.
"I don't know" I told her and ran a hand through the hair.
"I want to give us a go" I told her. Hopefully she agreed with me. I mean, how you say you like someone more than a friend, give them a kiss, and kick them to curb and say, 'Hasta la vista baby!'. You can't. Especially me. I'm too pretty.
"I do too" She smiled and gave me a soft kiss. I loved those now! They were so…soft. They were sweet. Nothing like I had with the other girls. They were all stuck up whores with their Chihuahua noses in their cheap perfumed air. I held my breath when they did. It was nasty shit.
"It's official" I told her and gave her one more kiss before letting her out of my room to go get dressed in her room.
I realized something right now. Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rose, James, Victoria, and I were all screwed. Oh well, better go get ready for lessons. Which I don't need!
Bella POV (Cullen-Swan)
I was humming Mine by Taylor Swift as I changed into my white skirt, white tank and blue v-neck.
"Someone's happy" Rose grinned wearing a mini skirt with a maroon mid sleeved form fitting flannel with a grey tank top.
"I am" I shrugged happily as I pinned back my hair and put on another coat of lip-gloss. I put more effort into my looks. Ever since Tom happened I tried to look at my best, and look classy at the same time. Try to look beautiful.
"Oh my god! Emmett predicted this!" Rose said and gave out an 'Ahh!' as in a Halleluiah prayer song.
"You're hanging around Emmett too much. What did he predict?" I asked as we both headed to Cassidey's room to borrow some heels.
"He predicted that you and Edward would hook up. I knew it!" She yelled and made a 'cha ching!' noise and the gesture with her arm.
"What?" Emmett screamed at the top of his lungs, ran out in his grey boxers and his muscle shirt staring at rose.
"Yup. They did it!" Rose squealed. Emmett grinned and made a thinking face.
"Oh yeah, you're right!" Emmett laughed and nodded to his shoulder then ran off to the second floor of the house yelling, "Justin! You owe me forty bucks!"
Oh god, they were betting? I felt bad for Justin; he just lost forty dollars.
"Emmett? Can you be any louder?" Edward yelled from his room and turned on Pandora again. I prayed for a no music war, and God was being nice today.
"Sorry!" Emmett boomed with a laugh and it became quiet.
"Hey Cassidey can I borrow some shoes?" I asked. She stared at me and pulled her newly short blonde hair into a pony tail.
"Yeah sure, but don't take the orange, blue, or the light green ones. The rest you can have the rest. They're called heels by the way" She said with a small smile. I gave one back and Rose and I headed to her closet. I tried to pick ones that matched my outfit so I picked the strappy white ones and Rose picked the black ones.
"Thanks Cassidey" I said and Rose and I were about to leave when she told us, "You can call me Cass if you want"
That made me super happy. I was glad we were getting along. It was about time. It was Alice and the others I had to work on. The guys were nice, but we had to start conversation if we wanted to talk to them. I think they were still warming up to us.
"Bella, c'mon we need to go" Carter said popping his head into my room. I nodded to him and left, kicking Alice's stuff out of the way to get to the door.
We left in three cars, yeah I now crazy, and were headed to Esme's sister's, Elizabeth's, dance studio. It was quiet in the car John Mayer playing on the radio and a little bit of Chris Tomlin, and we arrived. It was a small light orange and pink building, and we walked inside and the walls were a bright inviting green. The receptionist saw Esme and grinned as she pointed to the door behind her. Esme nodded and led us through and I saw a petite woman with blonde hair and big brown eyes like Esme's. She smiled at us and stopped warming up and floated towards us.
"Hey! I'm Aunt Lizzy to all y'all Cullens and I will be nothing else. Unless you want Aunt Elizabeth, then that's cool too" She said and made a thinking face and then went back to her smile.
"Ok, which one of you has the most dance experience" She asked. Carlisle and Carter raised their hands and Lizzy grinned.
"Ok, you cutie, c'mere!" She said and pulled Carter towards her. We all watched. Esme was giggling to herself, and smiling at them.
"Waltz" She said. Carter nodded and they got in the position. The music started and it was Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck Without You. Carter laughed as they spun around the room and switched to the tango. I would tell Carter was having a blast and then they switched to the regular square dance, and many others.
"Very good Mr. Cutie. Now let's try the samba" She giggled and Carter rolled his eyes but had a smile on his grown up face. They started dancing and were all over the dance floor. Carter dipped the 5'2 woman and they finished and we all applauded.
"I want to teach you all the art of waltzing! And regular ballroom dancing, the regular slow dance." Lizzy grinned. We all got nervous as Lizzy sized us all up.
"Ok, so if I made a list of al the people who are going to be paired up with one another. Well, for our wedding, as in who will walk who down the aisle. So it'll be Carter and Cassidey, Jasper and Alice, Rosalie and Emmett, Caitlin and Justin, Victoria and James, Rochelle and Trevor, Frankie and Ryan, Sean and Brianna unless you want to bring your own dates. Now remember you guys are only thirteen so nothing more than a kiss and a hug. Now Bella and Edward, since you two are the Maid of Honor, and Best Man, you two will have to be each other's dates, if you don't mind" Dad said and smiled at us.
"I'm bringing Josh!" Brianna grinned.
"Ok, he can come. But I want Sean walking you down" Esme said sternly. Brianna and Sean moaned and stuck their tongues out at one another and shoved each other until Sean fell down and Brianna sat on him.
"Sean, Bri, cut it out! Idiots" Lizzy said as she pulled them apart.
"Sorry Aunt Lizzy" They chimed and Bri kicked him in the shin.
"My lady" Edward grinned and held out his hand. I giggled and took it as he took me into his arms. He hand went onto my waist and I backed off a little bit.
"Edward, I can't dance" I told him. He shrugged and wrapped his whole arm around my waist and pulled me up, my toes on top of his Converse.
"It's all in the leading" He said huskily which me feel faintish. Oh lord.
He started dancing but Lizzy came over and tsked me.
"Oh my child. You need to learn how to move yo feet. Ok, not follow my lead" She said and she made me make a circle. Then showed me which motions to move my feet in. She added Edward and soon enough we were twirling it was amazing. So romantic.
"This is so amazing. I feel like I'm floating" I whispered to Edward. He made a crooked smile that I love so much and nodded.
"I used to come here when I was a little kickass. My mom and douche used to fight a lot. Aunt Lizzy used to let me join each class. Well, the older classes I would observe and just watch; the ladies were super sexy, but nothing compared to you. I learned a lot though. I've been ballroom dancing every since. I just never told anybody. I'd look like a sissy ass. No one wants that" He said. I slapped his arm and giggled.
"I think it's nice. At least we know you know how to dance. And I am still learning." I told him. He tightened his grip on my waist.
"You'll be good in no time" HE smiled. I smiled back and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Lizzy came over and raised a brow.
"I'll keep my mouth shut. Only because you're my favorite nephew" She smirked. Edward smirked back and they made faces at each other.
"Lizzy, are you younger than Esme?" I asked. She gave me a 'duh' look.
"No" She said sarcastically, "I always used to babysit the little ankle biters when Esme went on her slut nights. I'm only eight years younger than Esme. I just turned 30!" She shrugged.
"Aunt Lizzy!" Emmett cried, "I thought I was your favorite nephew" He pouted. Lizzy rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Emmett, babe, you're my favorite oaf." She said and gave him a slobbery kiss on his cheek and a slap in the head.
"Aw, shucks" Emmett said with a 'Dopey' voice and blushed.
"Wait, Esme was only 21 when she had Emmett and 22 when she married Edward's Dad?" I asked shocked. That was so young!
"Yup, I told you, my sisters a slut" She said. Edward chuckled and she and Lizzy gave each other a look and stuck their tongues out. Lizzy reminded me of Renee; how free spirited she as, and how she was set in her childish ways.
"Ok, now everyone I had an idea" Lizzy yelled with a grin and rounded us up.
"Since I've been known to rebel against my parents, and my sister, I have an idea of a grand entrance you could say. Let's spice up this weddin'!"
Hope you all like this! Oh, and I gave you a double update! Read the next chappie!
XOXO, Lizzy
