Back to Birthday
As I snapped out of my past I saw Alice and Rosalie drooling over the dress that I was supposed to wear tonight.
"Seriously guys, what makes you think that I am going to wear that dress?" I did my best to sound disgusted.
"Bella, what makes you think that you are not going to wear that dress?" Alice asked in a sweet tone, but I could see her wicked smile.
"But it's so skinny, I will feel cold in it." I protested.
"Don't worry about that, we are having heaters on. The weather in the hall will be just like summers." Alice chimed.
"Actually Bella, I agree with Alice. You should wear this dress, it will look beautiful on you" Rose held up the dress, I stared at her in disbelief. What happened to my sweet Rose who always sided with me? I think she is spending way too much time with Alice.
"And when you wear this I can guarantee you that Edward will not be able to resist." Why does she always have to bring Edward in our conversation? It is like her trump card or something like that.
"Besides that we have to get ready, too." Rose added. Alice gave me her puppy dog look. That pixie.
"Fine." I sighed in defeat, no one can win over Alice. She squealed.
"Go take a shower." Alice instructed, I quickly did as she said. The warm water calmed my nerves a bit. When I came out I saw Rose's entire counter had beauty products on it. Alice bounced to my side and helped me dress up, carefully since my hairs where still wet. How much she loves playing 'Bella Barbie' and how much I loathed it. The dress was blue in color, had a small, black belt in the center. When they finished dressing me up, I went towards the full length mirror to get a look at it, but Alice stopped me.
"No Bella, you are not allowed to look until we are thru with you." I casted her an irritated look, she giggled.
"Sit here. Ok now, I'll do the makeup, meanwhile you can do the hair." Rose nodded. They quickly went to work. Rose bought a dryer and started with my hair, when they were all dried up Alice started with makeup.
"What do you think Rose? How much?" Alice turned to Rose. She looked up.
"She has a nice skin color, I don't think much will be required." She went back to work. Alice, too, satisfied by Rose's comment went to work. After about half an hour, they finally looked up at me. Both Alice and Rosalie came in front - I stood - and studied me from top to bottom, like I was a master piece.
"So what do you think?" Rose asked Alice.
"We did a nice job." She started bouncing. "Ok Bella, now you are allowed to look in the mirror." She said as she pushed me towards the mirror. As soon as I was in front of the mirror I was shocked. I was not able to recognize the girl standing in front of me. She wore an elegant blue dress that made her skin look like cream, her hairs where down, slightly curled but not at all messy. She wore light makeup, complementing her skin tone even more. I slowly turned towards my best friends ever.
"Thankyou." Was all I could whisper. I stepped forward and pulled them both in my embrace. I actually have a treasure with me, I proudly thought.
"It's ok, Bella. Now don't start crying, or you will ruin your makeup." Alice said as I released them.
"Yes, Alice is right. Now come on Alice let's get dressed ourselves, or we are going to be late." Alice nodded, and followed, but stopped in the middle and turned.
"Bella, please sit down and do not wander around." I sat and she happily went. Even Alice did not trust my equibrilium. After about half an hour they both emerged from the room, dressed perfectly. Sometimes I wonder how they do it so fast. Alice had a mixed parrot and dark green dress on which was just a few inches above the knee, with straps. And a gold colored chain along with black heeled shoes. On the other side, Rose had a black one sided dress on with a broad belt in the middle. Along with this she has a pendent, which as I remember was gifted by Emmett, with high heeled tie up shoes. Her hairs where down, with highlights and slight curling. I did not notice the highlights before.
"So what do you think?" Alice asked, all excited.
"Yeah Bella, what do you think?" Rose saw me with hopeful eyes.
"I think you both look just perfect." Alice bounced and Rose smiled. I went towards my shoes but Alice blocked me. "What Alice, I need shoes. I am not going down there barefoot."
"Of course not, Bella. Here are your shoes." She quickly went and bought a pair of heel.
"Alice!" I stared at her wide eyed. "I cannot wear those."
"But, why? You know how hard was it to find shoes matching to that dress." She pouted.
"These are heels! I can't walk across a flat surface in socks and you are telling me to wear heels." I argued.
"Please Bella, they are not that high. And besides that you only have two options, either ware these or go barefoot. The choice is yours." She placed the heels in front of me. Damn you pixie. I thought about it for a minute, when no other option came I stepped in the heels. We heard people coming in, Alice quickly went towards the window to check. She turned back and saw my heels on. "Good, now let's go downstairs." was all she said and we started walking towards the staircase. I followed her but stopped at the head of the stairs. Taking deep breaths to calm myself down, I stood there for a minute. When I was perfectly calmed I put my foot down on the first step and the only thought that ran though my mind was
Edward here I come.
Sorry. It took forever to update. But I am not getting sufficient reviews so as to continue.
Also I was reading Evernight by Claudia Grey, and I must say it is good. I has three books till date. The second is Stargazer and third is Hourglass. It's a must read.
Since I suck at dress discription so the links to Alice and Rosalie's dress are on my profile.
Last but not the least, please review.
Much love,
Bella
