We ran to the costume stood with me trailing behind Esme.
"Hurry up."
"Esme, where are we going?" I asked running behind her.
Esme ran in front of me and stopped in front of the stoor.
"Sam, open up. Rosalie needs a costume." Esme screamed through the door of the stoor.
"No, no Esme I'm closed." Sam said.
"Please. I'll give you free breakfast for a week." Esme begged.
Sam looked at Esme then over to me and smiled. "Make it a month." Sam opened the door and we ran inside.
"C'mon." Esme said. We walked into the store that was filled with thousands of different costumes.
"There has to be something somewhere." Esme muttered looking through the racks of clothes.
"There is this." Jasper said pointing to the skimpiest costume in the whole store.
"You wish." I laughed looking through the other costumes. Nothing really caught my eye yet since I was looking for the perfect costume.
"Perfect." Sam said grabbing a Ninja Turtle costume and holding it in the air.
I looked up and started laughing really hard.
"I don't think so. Go in there and get dressed Rosie." Esme said pushing me towards the dressing room and shaking her head.
I walked out of the dressing room in this ugly matador outfit. The outfit was complete with a hat and matching cape.
"I look ridiculous." I said with the flick of my cape.
"Oh lay." Sam said with a smirk.
"No way." Esme said shaking her head.
I walked back into the dressing room and came out wearing a long black dress with a black and white wig with vampire teeth.
"Hey, you're killing me here." Jasper laughed with a knife through his head.
"Good one." I laughed pointing at his head man. "No offense but if I'm going to be a vampire I want to look hot like Nikki Reed not like this." I said gesturing towards my outfit. I walked back and came out wearing a pig costume.
Esme saw me and started laughing really hard. I gave Sam a high five then walked back to try another outfit on. I walked out wearing a grass skirt and a coconut bra. I swayed my hips and started to dance.
"Aloha." Jasper smirked with a pair of glasses in his hand.
Esme looked at him and gave me a look.
"I'm gonna try on something else." I whispered backing up towards the dressing room.
"Smart move."
"I got something." Sam smiled and handed me a black costume.
I came back out wearing this long nun outfit. I felt this tingling sensation around my nose and then I sneezed.
"Bless you." Esme muttered.
I opened my mind and started all over again. I came out in my last costume which was a suit of armor.
"Esme, this is hopeless." I said taking off my helmet and shaking out my hair.
Esme looked down at the counter and snapped her head up and looked at Sam.
"Sam let me see that mask."
Sam grabbed the white mask and handed it to Esme. " I don't have a costume that goes with that."
"Yea but I do." Esme smiled. "Rosalie lets go."
I came out in my clothes and ran to the car. Before I knew it we were at Esme's house.
"C'mon." She said pulling me towards the house.
We entered the house and she told me to sit in the living room. I watched as she disappeared into her bedroom as I sat there and admired her pictures. The first was a picture of her and Carlisle on her wedding day. Her smile was big but not as big as Carlisle's. The second was one of them on their honeymoon laughing in the ocean. They looked like what I yearned to look like. In love.
"Esme?" Carlisle called as he walked into the living room. "Hello Rosalie."
"Hi Carlisle." I smiled.
"Esme here?"
"Yea she went to go look for something for me to where to the dance."
"So you are going." Carlisle smiled sitting down.
"Yea I decided to take my chance at love."
"Good for you kid. Your dad would have wanted that."
Esme came back carrying this big blue box and set it down on the table. She sat down next to Carlisle and gave him a quick kiss. I stood up and opened the box in awe. I picked up the dress and held it against my body. It was a beaded bodice that flowed down at the bottom. It was strapless and was beautiful.
"Esme I can't." I whispered with tears forming in my eyes.
"Yes you can. I'm never going to wear it again."
"But it's your wedding dress. I couldn't."
"Rose, that dress has been in that box for so long that it needs a night off." Esme smiled.
"It's beautiful." I smiled.
"Well go try it on." She laughed.
I walked over to the bathroom and tried on the dress. I looked in the mirror and gasped. The dress fit to my curves perfectly. I walked out and looked at Esme.
"Rose, you look beautiful. C'mon." Esme smiled pulling me towards her room. She pulled in the curling iron and she sat in front of me and did my make up.
"Are you excited to see your secret admirer?"
"I guess. I'm a little nervous though."
"Don't worry. You are beautiful."
"Esme?"
"Hmm" Esme hummed curling my hair.
"If you don't mind me asking, why don't you and Carlisle have any kids?"
"Honey, when I was younger lets just say a man took advantage of me and now its possible that I might never have kids."
"But its possible right?"
"I don't know sweetie."
"Like my dad always said; Don't let the fear of striking out…"
"Keep you from playing the game." Esme smiled. " You look just like your mother."
"Thanks."
"Well you are done. Have tonight Rose." Esme smiled.
"Thanks Esme." I smiled and gave Esme a hug.
"Knock 'em dead." Esme called after me as I ran to the car.
"Wow Rose you look, wow." Jasper said starting the car.
"Thanks Jazz."
"Are you ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
Nest chapter is the dance!
