Edward POV (Platt)
"Damn Bella, you sure can talk" Devon laughed. Bella blushed and hid her face in my chest. I looked to Tom who was sitting at a table with a group of people with him. He had a drink in his hand and he was staring at me. His face was blank and he's probably thinking about how he fucked up with my girl. I held her tighter to me, showing Tom that she was mine. All mine. He glared and I smiled and looked to my friends and saw their stupid outfits. Well, Jake looked nice in his dress pants and dress shirt with a tie. That was his looking nice. I know for a fact Leah dressed them. Leah also looked like a hot mama! She was wearing a flowy, grey above the knee dress and it was strapless. I thought it looked pretty on her. Little Kayla was wearing a green spaghetti strap dress with her little black Mary Janes. The little cutie. I made a monkey face at her and she tried to copy me but looked like a little mental kid.
"You guys look nice" I said and snorted looking around to the whole group now complete one Jake, Leah, and Kayla got here. The other girls were wearing short sparkly dresses; I think they were from homecoming a year ago.
"Thanks" The girls chorused.
"Guys, what the hell?" I asked them and they all laughed. They were dressed in nice jeans; button up dress shirts, and loose ties. In mismatched things. Like black jeans, a green button up, and a red tie. Or something like that. It was weird mixes. Tyler was wearing a St. Patrick's Day tie, and I stared.
"I didn't have any more ties and my dad wouldn't let me borrow one because I stained the last one with teriyaki sauce" He whined. I just shook my head.
"You would" I laughed.
"Bella, I love that dress! The bandage look with the different shades of green is gorgeous" Jen gasped. I looked to Bella and she really did look gorgeous. I smiled. I was definitely lucky.
"Thank you" She whispered. Always the modest one. She never saw her beauty which annoyed the shit out of me.
"Edward looks pretty hot himself" She grinned. I waved it off. I always look this hot.
"Ya Ed, you look pretty damn sexy. I think I have a boner" Devon teased. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Well, this is a nice wedding" Leah commented changing the subject. Yeah I guess it was. Cost a fucking fortune; Carlisle the stupid pushover.
We all talked about the wedding, and the Cullen/Platt shit we did. It was funny. My little Kayla got passed around by everyone and at the end she ended up in Bella's.
"Ed, we're starting the dance now, c'mon" James said as he walked up with Vic. I nodded and grinned to my friends.
"Well, enjoy the show" I cackled and Bella handed Kayla to Jacob before we ran off to the dance floor. We guys were in one group at one side of the dance floor, and the girls on the other side of the dance floor. This was going to be good.
"Now everyone here is the bride and grooms first dance" DJ I-Don't-Know-What-His-Name-Is announced. Emmett and I stood next to each other and grinned.
A slow song came on and Mom and Carly started out in a slow circle. I saw Bella smile at them and she looked to me and winked. Ooh, it's getting hot in here! Timbaland's The Way I Are started playing and that was our cue. Then they broke apart and Mom came over to us guys, and the girls lured Carly towards them. Mom held her hand on Jasper's shoulder and took off her heals and the girls pushed Carly away from them. Carly stood next to Mom and bent down and put his hand like a few inches above the ground and did a swirly thing with his hand and then slid up next to Mom.
"Yeah, yeah!" We all chorused and threw our hands up in the air. Mom and Carly crossed their arms and bounced from side to side. We guys bobbed our heads, while the girls just stood there and stared.
"Yeah, yeah!" the bridal party chorused and threw our hands I the air again. Carly went over mom as she ducked and I saw Gavin taking loads of pictures. We all went around in a circle and ended up on the different side of the dance floor. All us guys picked up a hand full of petals from the bowl and then we gathered in a clump in the middle. We threw Carly and we jumped and started hopping and fist pumping. Then we all ducked and Carlisle made a steering wheel thing with his arms and looking like he was driving. It was really cool cuz he moved his arms side to side. Then we popped back up and went side to side then lined up.
"Flowers" part of the song and each one of us threw our petals and went in different directions. Then we started turning back and forth snapping our fingers. Now the girls took us and pushed us along the dance floor until we fell on our asses and slid. Now Mom and the girls went.
They strutted to the front, Mom in the front, and put their arms up and waved them in a circle, while swinging in a circle. They faced the back and shook their hips and did a hair flip to face the guests. They were rooting and smiling, and laughing. We were having a damn good time. Then they shook their hips again while they were facing sideways, and then faced the other direction. They snapped their fingers up and down, still shaking their hips, and then bent back up. They blew kisses and lined up. What were they doing? I never saw their part of the dance, since Aunt Liz was still tweaking it. They shook their hips once and Mom raised her hand to snap and it went down. It was like a mini wave, and so cool! Then the girls were on their side and us guys on ours. Mom and Carly were in the middle, and I saw Caitlin holding Carly's blazer. Carly made a baseball motion and Mom looked to the direction the imaginary baseball was going in.
Yes! My favorite part! Carly and Ryan did the worm side by side, and was heard rooting for them. Oh, yes. We all mixed together and clapped with Carly and Mom in the front again. We all clapped and Bella stood next to me.
"5, 6, 7!" We all chorused and jumped to the left, and touched our left foot with our right hand, and jumped to the left with our left hand touching our right foot. We did a Soulja Boy move and that was when we all jumped from side to side and put our arms, facing the left side, and popped our wrists and bounced from side to side. We did that once more, in the right direction and then we bent down and I don't know how to explain what we did.
Ok, so our right arm was bent and with our left we would bend back up while cranking an imaginary thing. We did that in a different direction, and then bent down and got in eh middle and popped back up, and jumped to the side again. We shimmied our shoulders, and did that on the other side now. We all parted and Carly caught Mom bridal style and she put her arms in the air and beamed. We finished.
"Now make some noise!" the DJ yelled. The crowd went wild and we all hugged each other,
"Dude that was fucking epic" Emmett laughed. I nodded.
"It was pretty epic" Jasper smiled in agreement.
"Guys we're about to eat, so let's go sit at the table" Carly told us all sort of out of breath. Old man.
"Ok, old man" I grinned. He rolled his eyes and we all went and sat at the bridal party long table.
"Now, the Best Man and Maid of Honor will do a table blessing" DJ What's-His-Name said. I was handed a mic and Bella and I went to the front of the table. We rehearsed this. I didn't want to say it, but it's what Mom wanted, so I did.
"Bless this marriage as Esme and Carlisle begin their journey down the road of life together" I recited in a confused monotone. What the? Bella took the mic and said her part.
"May they respect each other's likes and dislikes, opinions and beliefs, hopes and dreams, and fears even though they may not always understand each other"
"May they rest in the knowledge that no matter what happens, by holding on to each other things will work out for the best" I never talk like this, so to hear this stuff coming our of my mouth, sounded pretty awkward. Like I was trying to be smart, but whatever.
"Most of all dear God help them to keep the torch of love burning with the fire that they now share in their hearts" Bella smiled.
"Amen" I said. It was weird saying a prayer, since I wasn't religious, but Mom is sure to make that change. She wants us to become religious, and go to church, but I wasn't sure about it.
There was a buffet of food that was set up and we all went to get our food. Carlisle and Esme let us go first, and my friends sat near the big table. We squished together, and since my friends called my Mom, Momma Platt she and Carly didn't mind.
"Ok, this is really good" Lillian laughed and ate her salad. I saw Mom beam. Rachel walked over to Carlisle and Esme and asked them something softly.
"I think that's a good idea Rachel. It'll get them to be civil. I agree with you and Ross, come on over" Carly smiled. I saw Rachel go back to her table and she, Ross, and…Douche Bag grab their plates and sit down near us at a table one of the wedding set people brought over.
"Thank you Carlisle, Esme, I appreciate you giving my family and I a second chance" Ross smiled. My parents welcomed them and we started eating.
"So," Mr. Serf asked from the table next to our friends, "Emmett where do you plan to go to college?" He asked. I saw Emmett bite his lip. My friends and I struggled to keep our laughter. Emmett and college? I can't see that!
"I want to be an FBI agent, so I'm going to apply to the FBI Academy" He smiled. Such an Emmett decision. Well, I can beat that!
"Well, I think that's a great career choice. Makes a good living." Mr. Serf smiled. I felt my blood boil. What would he major in? Brain surgery? Cuz he sure needs one!
"Yeah, I love the adrenaline, and the fun of it." He smiled. Mr. Serf nodded.
"What about you Edward, where do you want to apply for college? What are your plans?" He asked. I shoved a piece of chicken in my mouth and swallowed.
"I want tog o to UCI for medical school" I told him. I saw my family's eyes widen. What? It's just a suggestion.
"Oh that's a wonderful career! What field?" He smiled. I saw Tom stabbing his salad and Mrs. Serf was nothing but smiles. Hmm…which side of the family did the mean gene come from?
"I want to be a pediatrician" I told him. He looked stunned along with my family. Bella looked to me with raised eyebrows. My siblings and my mom were gaping at me like little goldfishes.
"Oh that's a wonderful field. What made you choose that path?" He asked looking really interested. Tom was glaring. He's just jealous his dad likes me more!
"Well, my biological dad, Charles Evenson, was one of Forks best surgeons until he died, and I always wanted to be a doctor like him. So, I chose a different field of medicine, but I wanted to be in the medical field too. I chose pediatrics, because I have a goddaughter, who I love to death, and I'm also good with kids, so I think it'll be good" I told him with a smile. I looked to the shocked table and my mom were still gaping at me. What, I can deep? I just continued eating. Bella was staring at me, her eyes wide. Geez people!
"What? It was either that or a tattoo artist" I said and ate my food.
"Oh my lord, who are you and what have you done with my brother?" Alice asked. I stared at her.
"Ali he's always been here! Are you blind? I'm sitting right here! Who else would I be, Edward's twin brother Ryan?" I asked her. She smiled. I saw Ryan roll her eyes.
"Dude, just shut up. We're not even related! I'm adopted! We only say that me, you and Alice are triplets because it makes more sense than saying 'Oh yeah, Ryan is the adopted brother who is the same age as Edward and Alice'" Ryan said annoyed and flicked a leaf at me. I gave him a raspberry noise with my tongue.
"He's back!" Alice sang. I rolled my eyes and I looked to Tom and grinned.
"Tom what are your plans?" I asked him. Ha, gotcha!
"I wanted to go to an arts school" He sneered. Ha! That's a joke.
"Really? You know, you can't make a living out of that! How are you going to support your family?" I asked. He scowled.
"I will. My paintings will be worth hundreds" He protested. Nah, uh uh. Gotcha here. You see, Mr. Serf is a very wealthy lawyer, and is good at what he does. Tom's older brother, Ben, is a very wealthy business man, and he makes surfboards and sells them all over the world. Especially in Hong Kong, Tokyo, and all over Europe.
"Tom, you should choose a right career path like Edward and Emmett!" Mr. Serf told him.
"Dad, painting is a career choice. If that doesn't work out I'm going to Colombia to be a teacher in the arts department" He said. I know a teacher's salary isn't worth shit.
"Tom, they don't pay well! Get your head out of the clouds and pick a correct career that can support you and your family!" Ross scolded. Ha. I was having fun. I was eating happily with a smile on my face.
"Fine, dad what do you want me to be? A brain surgeon?" He said sarcastically. I felt my blood boil. He's only choosing medicine, because I'm going into medicine! What would he major in? Brain surgery? Cuz he sure needs one!
"You know what Tom, you should be a brain surgeon, maybe they can actually give you one so you can be smart" I told him. I saw Mr. and Mrs. Serf's eyes widen as they looked to my new Daddy and my Mom.
"You know what Platt?" Tom asked looking at me.
"Boys! Stop it!" Rachel scolded.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Serf that was very rude of me to do at the table. Tom, I'm sorry" I told him. He glared. See, I'm only doing this polite shit to show how much better of a man I am than Tom. Ha! Take that!
"Tom, why can't you be mature like Edward? He apologized, to me and your mother. You should follow suit" Ross scolded.
This is going to be one long night.
Haha, I just love writing about Tom. It gets me excited.
XOXO, Lizzy
