I had another good idea for a oneshot, but it was a bit angsty/gloomy. I figured we had enough of those for a while. Here's a sort of fluffy one. xD

Thanks for the reviews guys. :]


Wake

Bella Pov:

Alice flipped another page and clicked her pen for the millionth time that night. "Silk or Satin?"

We'd been at it for hours. I was regretting the terms I set when I allowed Alice to plan our wedding. At the moment, I was ready for her to completely exclude me and plan the entire thing. I just chose what sounded best to me, and she vetoed me half of the time. I think I was more of a hindrance than an asset in this whole thing.

Edward wasn't here either, making the ordeal ten times worse. He was running an errand with Carlisle and wouldn't be back until early tomorrow morning.

BONG….BONG…..BONG….

Huh, midnight. Make that this morning.

An urgent finger tapped me on the forehead and I cracked my eyes open, glaring at Alice through slits. She smirked and opened another book. "Don't crash on me now Bella."

This book seemed to focus on table settings. I picked my head up from my hand and shut the one I was supposed to be looking at. "Alice, it's midnight. I can't even decipher the words anymore. If you let me go home to sleep, I will let you play Barbie with me tomorrow."

I was that tired.

With a grin that would put the Cheshire cat to shame, she stood up and pulled out my chair.

"Goodnight Bella!"

I laughed a little hysterically and pulled out my keys, stumbling to the garage. My faithful truck sat waiting for me, and with a creak and a groan, we were on the road.

Charlie had been sitting up and waiting for me, but apparently he was as tired as I was. His snoring could drown out my truck's engine. I helped him up to his room and pushed him onto the bed, like I had before we went to the Cullen's lesson on fighting.

My sweats and tank top were perched on my dresser, ready for me to hop into them. It was such a relief to slip between the covers, and it only took me a couple of seconds to fall asleep.


Was it odd to wake up the sound of classical music?

I sat up and realized it was still too dark for it to be morning. And I was still too tired. I looked over to my bedside table to see my cell phone all lit up. I picked it up and gaped at the time.

1:30!?

I'd been asleep for only an hour? I flipped open the phone and sucked in a big breath. "This had better be good Alice."

Her tinkling laugh lost some of its charm in the middle of the night. "I know I'm losing Barbie opportunity, but I need you to get back here. I've found the perfect flower arrangement for your wedding and it can't wait till morning."

Urgh, Urgh, Urgh.

"Bella, if you leave now and come here you can stay the rest of the morning. I will let you sleep in as long as you want, and you get to be here when Edward gets back."

Darn Alice and her darn persuasive powers. "Alright, but I'm probably going to maul myself on a tree trying to get there."

There was a pause on the other end while Alice scanned the future. "Nope, you're good. Don't park in the garage when you get here though, we don't have time for stitches."

I grimaced and staggered out of bed. "Be there in a few." I hung up the phone and changed back into my clothes. Charlie was still fast asleep, so I scribbled a quick note and stuck it on my closed door. I climbed back into my car and took off the down the road.

I wasn't being very observant and missed the turn-off to their house. Alice needed to make those twinkle lights a permanent fixture. I remembered Alice's warning and didn't park in the garage, wondering what in there was going to cause stitches. The door creaked open and she pulled me inside.

"Come here, I'll show you."

A thick, fancy book was placed in the center of the table, bearing the flower arrangement. I did have to admit, it was beautiful. I gave her a weary smile and gestured towards the picture. "It's beautiful Alice, really." She grinned and closed the book.

"Thanks Bella, for coming out here. I won't work you like this again, I promise. The hard part is over…besides the fitting for your dress."

Ah yes, the creation in the closet. Bamboo splinters. I remember now.

I followed her upstairs and looked at the lacy, silk, Bermuda shorts and one of Edward's button-down shirts. Well, it could have been worse, and it did look comfy. I grabbed the clothing and walked into his bathroom to change. After I came out Alice grabbed my hand and sat me on the bed.

"Let me braid your hair so it isn't so tangled in the morning." Her sure fingers grabbed strands of my hair and weaved them into a perfect braid. She pushed me on the pillow after and turned off the light with a giggle. "Goodnight again!"

I was already asleep.


Something cold was running up and down my neck with the lightest pressure. The light shone brightly into the room and I realized it was finally morning. That made me smile and I turned around to face my favorite golden eyes.

"Edward!"

He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me. "I missed you too."

I leaned on my elbow so I could see him better. He reached out a hand and pushed back the stray strands of hair that had escaped from the braid. His fingers trailed down my cheek to my collarbone, making my breath hitch in my throat. He smiled and leaned towards me, stopping my breath altogether.

He pressed his lips to mine and gently pushed me back onto the pillow, never breaking the kiss. His fingers moved down my arm to my wrist, tracing the pulse point there, before he linked his fingers with mine. My heart thumped embarrassingly loud and he smiled against my lips. He didn't stop kissing me until I was panting and in serious danger of passing out.

I lay there gasping while he laid his head on my heart. "Good morning to you too Edward."

He gave me his famous crooked smile. "You know, I like that shirt a lot better on you."

The door opened and hit the stopper with a bang. My heart sped back up to its frantic pace, and not because of Edward's kissing expertise either. Alice stood in the doorway, armed with a curling iron, hairbrush, and a devilish smile.

"Good morning, Barbie Bella."

Waking up had never been so bittersweet.
