BUZZ…BUZZ
My stupid phone, I cursed as I pulled up to my front door.
I was just about to flip it up and answer it when it stopped buzzing. I hated it when that happened. Oh, well…if it was important they'll call back. I told myself as I walked through the front door of our 3 story home.
Chapter 34:
BPOV
Today was Thursday. Tonight would be my first real date with Edward, and I couldn't wait. I knew the others were coming but to me this was still special. We were going to see the latest horror film. I think I'm just going to be snuggling closer to Edward though, I thought to myself as I giggled and finished getting dressed for work.
I chose to wear my white, blue and brown wrap-around sleeved dress, with my wedged dark blue heals. Then I threw on my blue, chunky pearl necklace and my thin blue bangles with tiny gold detailing. (Outfit On Profile)
I raced down stairs after pulling my hair into a side clipped ponytail and grabbed my weaved, cream and silver handbag, throwing in my keys, purse, phone and lip-gloss - along with everything else that was already inside.

It was slow today at Fashion Forever, but Jess told me that yesterday it was pretty busy, usually Wednesday is so I didn't mind working by myself today. Jess had to go and pick up Mike from the airport, as he was coming back from Australia today. Mike was my high school crush, but when Jessica started dating him I found he wasn't really my type and we just became good friends.
He was a business man and traveled to Australia a fair bit for the company he worked for, Vegemite I think they called it or something, I don't know but it was a foul tasting spread for your toast. Jessica was always super excited when he came home each time.
I was just about to close up when a familiar yellow Porsche pulled up outside. Alice, I thought to myself. What is she going to do to me now?
"Bella!" She called as she walked through the front door and flipped over the 'Open/Closed' sign, so it read 'Closed' of course.
"Hey Alice…" I replied hesitantly.
"So you ready?" She asked watching me move the clothing racks around.
"Well I was going to head home and have a shower and something to eat first." I explained grabbing my stuff out from behind the counter.
"It's ok, I have a dress and some shoes here for you, you can get dressed back at our house." She told me grabbing my arm and pulling me back out to the chicken yellow Porsche.
"What about my car?" I called as she raced back around to the drivers side after shoving me in and closing the door - nearly jamming my leg too - you'd think she was in some kind of rush or something. We still had 2 hours until the movie started.
She got in and started the car, maybe she didn't hear me… I thought to myself. "Alice, my car?" I asked.
"Don't worry… Emmett's going to come by and drop it back off at your place. Rose will pick him up from there." She told me.
We were back at the Cullen Mansion in no time at all. Alice rushed around to my side of the car and pulled me along the path and up the steps to the big double doors that would lead us inside.
"Alice why are we rushing? We have like 2 hours until the movie…" I asked.
"Yes, Bella. Only 2 hours, it's not giving me much time to make you look gorgeous, is it now?" I knew it was a rhetorical question.
When we reached Alice's room she towed me straight to the bathroom, where Rosalie was waiting with a curling iron in hand. I sat down, closed my eyes and hoped - so much hope - that it would be over soon. Alice was working on my make up and Rosalie was doing god no's what with my hair.
--------
When I heard the water running down the sink, I prayed that it was over. "Open Bella!" Alice squealed in my ear. I opened my eyes to see a beautiful woman in the mirror, there was no way that that was me, I thought to myself.
This woman had dark, smoky eyes, red, plump lips and her hair cascaded down her back and over her shoulders. Some places loosely curled and others just left that little bit straighter.
"Thank you so much guys. I love it." I spluttered as I tried not to cry, and therefore ruin my make up.
"Of course you do." Rosalie said.
"We did it." Alice finished. "Now come on, we have a dress to put you in." They said and I noticed they were already dressed. I didn't even realize when they were gone.
Rosalie's hair was pulled up into a loose, side ponytail and had a red head-band in it. She was wearing midnight blue skinny jeans that made her legs look even longer than they are - I don't know how it's possible - but it did. Her shirt was a double off-the-shoulder and was striped with different shades or red. She had on these fabulous red strapped heels, which were way too high, and her make up was just light with some striper-red lipstick on.
Alice was in a simple black and white polka dot dress, with a white tie-back belt that was just under her bust. She wore with it some black ballet flats and her hair was in it's usual spiky-do. Her make up was minimal but looked fantastic.
I walked out of Alice's bathroom and into her walk-in wardrobe. It was massive, I think maybe it was even bigger than the bathroom. I don't know, but clothes and shoes were everywhere.
Alice pulled out a white dress bag and pushed me back out the door and into her room. I was standing in front of her full length mirror, just as she had told me to and closed my eyes. I could hear the plastic being zipped open and then the fumbling or material.
"Okay you can open your eyes now Bella." Rosalie told me as Alice held up a casual yet stunningly beautiful, midnight blue dress. I fell to about mid thigh and had a jaw-string under the bust. After putting it on Alice handed me some silver heels. They had a scrunched ribbon on them that rapped up my leg to just under my knee and she put the nicest, silver butterfly clips into my already perfect hair.
"Thank you so much guys, I mean I know we're just going to the movies but…Thank you." I laughed as they giggled at my loss of words.

"Edward, calm down man." Emmett said to me for the 6th time that evening. I had been pacing back and forth in the living-room for about 20 minutes already and I was nervous. I had never been on an actual dinner sate with anyone before.
Jasper walked into the room and clapped me on the back, "She'll love what you have planned man. Any girl would, you don't need to worry so much." He explained to me softly.
"Thanks Jazz. You always know what to say." I told him as I walked calmly out the front door, Jasper and Emmett in close step behind me.
A/N - I'm so sorry that the chapters are getting smaller but the movie/dinner date chapter is going to be quite long and I wanted to just cut this one here before it was a little too long. Next chapter…Movie and Dinner Date with Edward… Please review. Have you got any ideas as to where you would like them to go to dinner, or what you want Edward to plan. I have a few things that are 'Edward Specialties' but what do you want to happen? Le me know…Mwahz xx.
