I was getting out of the shower when I felt the calm before the storm. As I walked into my room I knew what that storm was going to be. Alice. She was standing at my bed, arms crossed and the devils grin on her face. I looked on my bed and there was a outfit of dark skinny jeans and a blue halter top with matching flip flops. I looked at my vanity and all her gadgets were there.
"Alice.."
I began to tell her that if she was going to do this I was calling it off. But she interrupted me.
"Bella listen I know you don't want me to do this but I haven't done Bella Barbie in a long time. And I'm nervous about seeing Jasper again tonight and I know this will help me relax. Please do this for me?" Then she did the pout that no one can say no to.
"Fine. But I better not look overdone." I mumbled. She squealed and got to work.
"Okay done." I turned around and looked at myself in my mirror.
"Wow Ali. You did a great job. Thank you." I hugged her and kissed her head.
"Good I'm glad. Now get dressed and I'll see you downstairs." She danced her way out of my room and I just smiled.
I looked at the clock it was 5:45. SHIT! I quickly got dressed and headed downstairs and started getting things ready.
"EM!" I yelled. I heard him coming before I saw him. He forgets this house is older than us and he just bounces around. I swear one day he's going through the floor or a wall.
"Bells?" I looked up and smiled. I loved my brother and he loved us.
"Em is the grill ready?"
"Yea." he mumbled while eating a grape.
"Okay the steaks and corn are ready to go on. I have the baked beans and-" KNOCK KNOCK! Oh crap. "Em get the door."
I was a nervous wreck. Breath Bella you can do this its just a nice cookout. "Hello Bella." I looked up and saw Esme and Carlisle.
I smiled so big. "Esme, Carlisle. I am so happy you made it. Would you like something to drink? We have wine, beer, coke, water, and tea."
"Bella I will take a beer and head out to the grill with everyone." I smiled and handed him a beer and he took his leave.
"Bella I brought apple pie. I hope that's alright." I looked at the beautiful woman.
"Oh Esme! You didn't have to bring anything but thank you so much. I am sure we will enjoy it. Especially Emmett. He is a human vacuum. I apologize in advance for his manners. He apparently didn't get that particular cell in his brain." She threw her hand up over her mouth to cover her cackles. But it became to much and we were both laughing so hard.
"Oh Bella. I think I will take some wine and head out and visit your brother and sister."
"Alright. I will be out there in a moment." I smiled thinking how that family seems to get along so well with us. I must have been deep in thought not to hear the door open. I heard a chuckle. I quickly looked up and my knees buckled.
'Hey Bella. You looked like you were in your own little world there." He had the most beautiful smile.
"Hey Edward. I think I was." I giggled. "What can I get for you to drink?"
"I will just grab a beer is that alright/"
"Sure make yourself at home."
As I got ready to take the food out to the table Edward asked if I needed help and I gladly took his help. I took a deep breath and headed outside hoping against all that tonight went great.

As Emmett opened the door my nerves calmed down. "Hey guys. Welcome to our humble abode. Please make yourselves at home. Bella is in the kitchen and I am outback at the grill."
I walked through and contemplated going to the kitchen just to see her but my mother went first so I headed out back with everyone else.
Sitting at the table listening to Alice and Emmett banter makes me laugh. Our family is the same way. "No Emmett. Your just an overgrown kid."
"Hey tinker, You don't scare me." If Alice could she would have steam coming out of her ears.
"You will remember that Em when you come crawling to me going ' Please Ali. I need your help. I messed up again.' then its me and Bella coming to get your butt.
I saw my mother come out and smile. "That Bella is a lovely girl."
"She is Mrs. Cullen. She has a tough exterior but a softie on the inside." Emmett had a small smile on his face.
Before I knew what I was doing I was walking inside to the kitchen. When I entered the kitchen Bella was just standing there staring off into space. She looked lost in her own little world. I couldn't help but chuckle.
'Hey Bella. You looked like you were in your own little world there." She had the most beautiful smile and blush.
"Hey Edward. I think I was." She giggled. "What can I get for you to drink?"
"I will just grab a beer is that alright?" I made sure to ask before I just got one.
She just smiled and blushes. "Sure make yourself at home."
I saw she had a lot to bring out and offered my help and she took it without hesitation.
After setting things on the table she proceeded to talk to my parents and I just watched. She fit in so well. Their whole family does.
"Edward did you and Jasper bring your guitars?"
"Yeah we did."
"Good I can't wait to hear you play."
"Well I can't wait to hear you sing again." She smiled and blushed. I heard a snicker and looked up and everyone had their eyes on us. I took a quick glance at Bella and she had her head down but I could see the lightest hint of pink on the tip of her cheeks.
Dinner went great. The food was amazing and the sun was setting. Emmett lit the tiki torches and we all settled around in a circle. Bella was to my right and dad were to my left.
"Hey Bella do you know 'When I said I do.' by Clint Black?" Jasper asked. We did this song for our parents 20th anniversary and our cousin Tanya sang.
"Yes I love that song. It speaks of so much love." Jasper and I started playing and Bella smiled as she saw my parents embrace each other. I got ready to sing. Jasper hates singing so it's usually me that does it.
These times are troubled and these times are good
And they're always gonna be, they rise and they fall
We take 'em all the way that we should
Together you and me forsaking them all
Deep in the night and by the light of day
It always looks the same, true love always does
And here by your side, or a million miles away
Nothin's ever gonna change the way that I feel,
The way it is, is the way that it was
I looked over at Bella and she was smiling and she was glowing. She looked stunning. She got ready to come in on the chorus with me.
When I said I do, I meant that I will 'til the end of all time
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That's what I had in mind when I said I do.
We never broke eye contact through the chorus and somewhere inside I felt something shift. All I could see was her. Nothing or no one else but her.
Well this old world keeps changing, and the world stays the same
For all who came before, and it goes hand in hand.
Only you can I can undo all that we became. Singing with her was amazing. She puts her heart into it.
That makes us so much more, than a woman and a man
And after everything that comes and goes around
Has only passed us by, here alone in our dreams. She was smiling.
I know there's a lonely heart in every lost and found
But forever you and I will be the ones
Who found out what forever means.
We locked eyes again for the chorus. In her eyes I knew she felt it to. This summer is just the beginning of much more to come.
When I said I do, I meant that I will 'til the end of all time
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That's what I had in mind when I said I do.
Truer than true, you know that I'll always be there for you
That's what I had in mind, that's what I had in mind. She has changed me and from the feel, its for good.
When I said I do.
Everyone was clapping and whistling and all I could do was stare at Bella. She never broke the contact. I hoped to God she never would. But with my mother who threw her arms around Bella, it was inevitable.
I stood up and held out my hand to her. She took it without hesitation. I looked deep into her eyes before taking off to the beach with her right beside me. I needed to tell her that I liked her and wanted to take her out and get to know her better. I needed her to know that in the 2 days and the few conversations that I was starting to fall for her. I just hoped she didn't hate me or run away.
I stopped at the waters edge and turned her to face me.
"Bella I have to talk to you. I don't know how or why. But since I laid eyes on you all I can see is you. You are amazing, You are beautiful, funny, charming, and have a hell of a arm" She giggled as I smiled. "I know I have to be crazy and please don't hate me." Here goes everything.
"Bella. I am falling in love with you…"
