Chapter 4 - Shopping
(Edward's P.O.V)
We had killed Victoria 5 hours ago. My brothers, Dad and I went out to hunt. That is why I hadn't called Bella yet.
I looked at my cell and smiled once I saw who it was.
"Just the person I want to talk to," I said, as I answered the phone.
"Edward Anthony Cullens, why have you not called me? Did everything get finished?" she asked firmly.
"Sorry Love. Yes we did get her finished. After that happened, we went hunting so we could control our thirst. We just got back, sorry that I didn't call you right away. Am I forgiven?" I asked hoping.
"Yeah, just don't do that again. You had me worried like crazy. Even ask Alice, Im sure I've made her irritated by now. What are you doing?" She asked lovingly.
"We just got back to the house, and were going to sit and watch the news. What are you going to do?" I asked while smiling.
"We're shopping. I wanted to call to make sure everything was all right. I got to go because we just pulled up, but keep in touch with me mister. We will be home in two days. California is beautiful," She said while rambling.
"How I love to hear her ramble" I smiled to myself.
"It sounds like your having a good time. What are you shopping for? I will be waiting for you," I asked happily.
"I'm startin to. I'm missing you like crazy though. I got to go, but ill see you in two days" she said nervously. She stopped talking and hung up on me.
I just laughed.
(Bella's P.O.V)
I was talking to Edward, until he asked me what I was shopping for. I got real nervous, and hung up on him, as I finished talking.
"Did you just hang up on Edward?" Alice laughed, as we got out of the car.
"Yes! He started asking what I was shopping for and I freaked out, so I hung up," I laughed with her.
All three of us walked into the store laughing.
Alice and Esme choose a multiple handful of Wedding gowns for me to try on. Once they were done grabbing, they threw me in a stall and had me change in and out of them.
I was going to try on number 59, when I spotted my wedding dress in the piles they gave me.
I grabbed it out of the pile and looked at it.
It was a form fitting, strapless white dress, that had little pink flowers on the whole dress and it was a floor length dress.
"This is it, this is my wedding dress" I smiled to myself.
I tried it on and it fit. "Thank you Lord, good so far" I sighed with relief.
"Alice, Esme? I'm coming out. This is it, the one I'm wearing down the isle" I smiled.
"Let us see dear" Esme said happily.
"Bella, hurry up" Alice excitedly stated.
I opened the door and walked out.
Alice and Esme gasped.
"You're so right, this is the one sweetie. Go look at your self in mirror" Esme said, as she was dry-sobbing.
I looked at Alice and she was also dry-sobbing.
I walked onto the 360-degree mirrors, and gasped.
"Oh my god, I look beautiful," I said, as I was crying.
"You always do, I'll go get the other dresses, out of your stall. When im done, grab your clothes. " Esme smiled, as she stopped dry sobbing.
"Thanks" I smiled, as I wiped my tears away.
"Lets go choose your accessories" Alice said happily. She was literally bouncing off the walls with happiness.
I got of the 360-degree mirror, and followed Esme to the stall. I grabbed my clothes and walked towards Alice.
(Esme's P.O.V)
When I saw Bella come out of the stall, with that dress on, my joys turned into tears. The dress was perfect for her, and she picked it all by herself, out of the thousands of dresses.
"I have to call Carlisle and tell him," I thought to myself.
I grabbed my cell out of my back pocket and dialed his number.
A few minutes later, he answered.
"Hey dear, what's up?" he asked me lovingly.
"I have excellent news" I smiled with enthusiasm
"Really, what is it?" He asked my anxiously.
"Bella has chosen Rosalie, Alice and I to be her wedding party. Alice is her Maid of Honor though. Then we are shopping for wedding dresses, and Bella picked out the perfect one. She looks amazing." I rattled on with happiness.
"That's great dear. I'm so happy for you. I'll have to see them when you girls get home. That explains why Bella hung up on Edward" he laughed.
"Yep. Don't say a word to Edward about what were shopping for. The minute we get in, he would want to see the dress and it would ruin it. Do you hear me mister?" I said with a tone, but teasing him at the same time.
"Yes honey. Tell Bella, I can't wait to see her" Carlisle said with pride.
"I will. I think we will leave here tonight-about 5am. We will arrive at the house by 9am. Get Everyone out of the house except Rosalie and you. Will you do that?" I asked, as I thought this all out.
"Yes dear, anything else?" He asked lovingly.
"Yeah, let me talk to Rosalie. I'll talk to you later" I smiled.
He got off the phone and handed it to Rosalie.
"Esme? What's up?" She asked confused.
"Well, Bella wanted to know if you and I would be her brides mates. What do you think? Alice is all ready the Maid of Honor," I told her excitedly, but calmly.
"Are you serious? After all the times I have been mean! I couldn't possibly. There has to be someone else she wants up there" Rosalie said speechless.
"I'll let you talk to Bella, she'll explain everything," I said, as I walked over to Alice and Bella.
I explained to Bella, and she happily took the phone. She finally convinced Rose and then got off the phone.
(Alice's P.O.V)
"Bella, what colors and styles do you want us to wear?" I asked, hoping that she would pick them.
"I want all of you to wear red. Alice, you'll wear a different dress then Esme and Rosalie.
"Sounds good, you lead me to the area" I grinned.
"Yes, it worked." I gleamed to myself.
We walked over to the bride's mate's section. We started looking, but Bella wanted to do this, so we gave up with smiles on our faces.
(Bella's P.O.V)
Alice and Esme tried helping me but I asked if they could go sit and I would do it. I want to find the perfect dresses.
I was out of my dress, and we had found a perfect Tiara, silver pumps, and white gloves to go with it. Esme was holding on to that.
I went threw four racks before I found Alice's dress. It was a form fitting, red, spaghetti strap, silky dress that went just a little bit below the knee.
I grabbed it off the rack and laid it over my arm.
I walked down a little further and spotted Esme's dress. It was a Red, V-neck with a shinny broche in the middle of the stomach. It was form fitting and it went all the way to the ground.
I grabbed hers off the rack, and searched a little more. I didn't find any more in the brides mates area, so I decided to look in the prom section.
I went through the first couple racks and didn't find anything. I went to the next rack, doubting that I would find the perfect dress for Rosalie.
I looked through the rack and found it.
"Thank God" I smiled.
Her dress was a red, long v-neck to the middle of the stomach, and it had beads in the shape of flowers all the way around. It went down to the floor and had a slit through the side from above the knee and down.
"This must be my lucky day. Finding the dresses I want for them, and in all their sizes" I smirked, as I grabbed it and walked over to them.
