"Rise and shine little princesses," Alice's voice was so loud that it woke me from deep sleep.
"Shut the fuck up," I heard Rose call from her room.
"Today is the day of the party and I need the two of you up right now," for such a small person she has one of the loudest voices I have ever heard.
"I'm up, I'm up," I rubbed my eyes and I opened my bedroom door. "Now will you please shut up?"
"No can do today," she smiled brightly rocking back and forth on her feet.
"What the hell is so important that we need to be up so early," Rose narrowed her eyes at Alice while folding her arms in front of her chest.
"Because in," she looked down at her cell phone, "fourteen hours we are throwing a party and it will be perfect."
"Alice we have been preparing for this party all week what more could possible be left for us today," other then homework and classes the party had taken over my week. I got to spend very little time with Edward and an abundant amount of time at the mall. I was very ready for this stupid party to be over and done with.
"Just a few more things, I need the two of you to take showers and then go get this list of things," she handed me a list of items she still needed.
"Balloons," I looked at her like she was crazy, "Emmett is twenty-one do you really think we need to have balloons at this part?"
"We all know Emmett is a big kid and besides I can make balloons look classy," she put her hands on her hips. "Now Rose, get in the shower," Rose rolled her eyes but went into the bathroom anyway. "After you guys get everything bring the stuff over to the boys' house. I'm putting you in charge of food, since you are the best cook, and Edward is going to help you," thank God for small favors. "Once everything is done the three of us girls will come back here to get ready, and yes Rose and I will be doing your hair and makeup no arguing about that. Do you have any questions," she gave me all of two seconds to answer. "No, great well I'm off to the guys' place. See you girls later," and with that she made her way down the hallway and out the door.
It took my brain a few minutes to process what just happened. I went back to my room lying down on my bed waiting for Rose to be done with her shower. A few minutes later she knocked on my door letting me know the shower was free. I took a nice long, hot shower since Alice wasn't here telling me to hurry. Once done I changed into comfortable sweatpants and tank top.
"Alice is going to have a melt down when she sees you in that," Rose laughed as I walked out into the hall.
"She is going to get her chance to dress me up tonight. Besides if I'm spending the day shopping and making food for this stupid party I will at least be wearing what I want to," I let out a sigh.
"Come on Bella it won't be that bad," she wrapped her arm around my shoulder.
"Sorry, I can't find my phone anywhere so I'm in kind of a crappy mood. I really don't mean to take it out on you. Plus I really miss Edward," I gave her a small smile.
"Yeah I know what you mean, Alice better not stand between Emmett and me after today or else she will get hurt. As for your phone I'm sure that it will turn up sooner or later if not you know you were in need of an upgrade," yeah if only I had the money for an upgrade is what I wanted to say but instead kept it to myself.
"Yeah you are right. Okay let's go shopping before Alice finds out we're still at the apartment," I grabbed my purse shoving the list inside.
"Yeah crazy pixie probably has cameras hidden around the place to make sure we are doing what we are supposed to," we laughed as we walked out of the apartment.
It only took us a few hours to find everything Alice had put on the list. It was fun shopping with just Rose. Don't get me wrong I love Alice; she has just been a little crazy this last week especially when shopping. I can't even remember all the different stores I've been to or how many different dresses I've tried on. Apparently I had to find the "perfect dress" even though it didn't matter to me what I wore. I would be more then happy wearing my sweats to the party tonight, because truth be told my hope is that I'll get to sneak off to Edward's room.
"Is it pathetic how excited I am to finally see Emmett," Rose laughed as we turned the corner onto the guys' street.
"Not at all, I miss Edward more then I probably should," my heart started to beat faster the closer we got to the house.
"Oh man we really are hooked on these guys," we both jumped out of the car as soon as Rose parked.
I grabbed some bags from the trunk before practically running into the house.
"Where's the fire little sis," Emmett yelled as he ran by me crushing Rose into a tight hug.
I scanned the living room but didn't see Edward anywhere then hurried to the kitchen dropping the bags down on the table. Again there was no Edward in sight, a small pout formed on my lips. I wanted to see him so badly.
"What's that pout about love," my whole face lit up as I met his eyes. God the man was handsome. I ran to him flinging my body at his, he laughed then wrapped his arms around my lifting me off the ground.
"I missed you so much," I whispered in his ear before lightly kissing his neck.
"I missed you too but if this is how you are going to act every time we are apart we might have to do it again," he teased kissing my check then lips.
"Don't kid about that," I kissed him back letting my hands tangle in his hair.
"Alright break it up kids, you have some cooking to do," Alice swatted my butt. I growled under my breath, Edward must have heard because he started to laugh at me.
"Don't worry beautiful we will have plenty of time to kiss later," he set me back down on the ground kissing my cheek before moving further into the kitchen with me.
Edward turned on the small radio sitting in the corner on the counter. We worked together so smoothly, talking and laughing while cooking. I had just finished the spinach dip and put it in the oven when Ray LaMontagne's "You are the Best Thing" started to play (link to song on my profile). Edward wrapped his arms around me from behind and pulled me to the middle of the kitchen spinning me so I was facing him.
"Baby it's been a long day baby.
Things ain't been going my way you know
I need you here to clear my mind all the time"
He sang the song in my ear as we dance close to each other. We spun on around the room a few times before he tried to dip me which of course did not work out at all.
"Let me tell you just exactly what is on my mind.
You are the best thing
You are the best thing
You are the best thing that ever happen to me."
He sang the end loud enough for the house to hear holding my hands over his heart. It caused me to laugh but all caused my heart to swell up. It was one of the cutest things I had ever seen and it was happening to me.
"Nice singing Eddie, now get back to work," Emmett yelled as he carried something outside.
We both laughed then got back to the dishes we had yet to finish. The rest of the time we spent singing with the radio while randomly bumping our hips together. Cooking with Edward was defiantly amazing, I knew cooking alone was never going to be fulfilling afterwards. A few hours later we were done and everything was ready for the party that would start in two hours.
"You guys are all done, great," Alice rushed into the kitchen grabbing me by the hand. "Come take a look at the basement," I grabbed a hold of Edward before we could get to far dragging him with us.
The basement was spectacular. There was a DJ table set up in the corner; the boys had a friend coming over that would be in charge of the music. The ceiling was filled with black and silver balloons and Alice was right she did make it look classy. There were lights place around the room up against the walls that set off a nice glow for the dance floor in the middle of the room. Off in one corner there was one couch left in case people got tired and wanted to sit down as well as a table for some of the food to be set out. Alice wanted the rest to be upstairs so people could come up incase the basement got too hot. A keg was set up close to the food table along with two coolers, one with alcoholic beverages and the other with pop and water.
"Alice it looks wonderful, you did an amazing job," she bounced up and down next to me.
"I know I did but thanks, now let's get back to the apartment so we can get ready," she pulled me up the stairs.
"I will see you soon," I gave Edward a hard kiss before running out the door towards Rose's car.
"Hurry back, I'll miss you," he called after causing me to smile.
Alice insisted that I take another shower as soon as we got back, saying I got messy while cooking. This one was much shorter then the one I took earlier considering after five minutes Alice knocked on the door yelling for me to hurry up. As soon as I opened the door she pulled me into her room making me sit on the bench in front of her vanity. She started to dry my hair as Rose came in with her hair already up and done. She had it in a simple ponytail with messy curls; of course she made it look absolutely gorgeous.
Once my hair was dry Rose started to curl it in lose curls as Alice started on my makeup. After Alice was done with my makeup Rose turned me around so she could finish my hair. As always when I turned back to look in the mirror the person looking back at me looked amazing. Rose had pulled my hair into a ponytail right behind my right ear, it was loosely curled and she wrapped a strand of my hair around it to hold it together (picture of hair on my profile). Alice used silver makeup on the corner of my eyes making them pop along with light blush and deep red lipstick.
"Thanks you guys so much it looks fantastic," I gave them both hugs.
"I'm happy you like it now go change while we get ready," Alice said while starting on her hair.
I slipped on the midnight blue dress that Alice had insisted on buying for me on one of our many shopping trips. It was a simple dress, held up with spaghetti straps and flared out under my bust and stopped just above my knees (picture on profile). It was a beautiful dress and I felt beautiful looking in the mirror all done up. I quickly put the ring Edward gave me back on, I only took it off when I had to, and tied the necklace of silver pearls around my neck. I sighed looking at the silver high heels both girls said I had to wear with the dress. They really were pretty but my feet hurt just looking at them. I quickly slipped them on before heading across the hall back to Alice's room.
I never knew how they did it but both girls were already dressed and ready. Alice looked like a fairy, but in a classic way, in her green dress. It was strapless with a silver and green belt under her bust and stopped right above her knees. She had a silver necklace with circle around it on and a green ring on her left hand. Her shoes were just as high as mine if not higher and silver (picture on profile). Her hair was spiked up in the back truly making her look like a fairy. Her makeup was simple and natural making her look stunning.
Rose finished up her makeup then turned around.
"How do I look," she ran her hands over the dress she was wearing.
It was a plum color and had a black ribbon around the top that dipped down in the middle then formed a circle meeting together before separating and wrapping around her neck. It was short and came to her mid thigh showing off her long legs. She had black dangly earrings on and a black rose ring on her right hand. Her shoes were way higher then the ones I had on and a simple black (picture on profile).
"You look incredible and so do you Alice," my roommates could be models.
"So do you Bella now let's go make sure our men are ready," Alice grabbed her purse as we made our way out of the apartment.
We could hear music playing from the basement as we walked into the house. None of the boys were on the main floor so we followed the music hoping to find them. Sure enough all three of them were dance, like fools, in the middle of the basement to Lady GaGa's "Just Dance". The three of us stood and watched before joining them. The boys' faces were priceless once they realized we caught them. But soon the six of us were showing off our crazy dance moves. Alice started to do the lawnmower while I pulled out the shopping cart. It was great fun but as soon as the song was done Alice said we should go upstairs in case anyone shows up a little early.
"You look beyond incredible," Edward pulled me into the kitchen while the others walked into the living room. He pushed me up against the counter while kissing up my neck to my ear. "And you smell delicious," he whispered in my ear before licking right under it.
"Party," someone walked into the house yelling. Both Edward and I groaned knowing the party was about to begin.
"I promise I will be by your side the whole night love," he kissed my temple locking his hand with mine and we walked out of the kitchen.
It didn't take long for the house to become full of kids. I had never seen most of the people that were there but I was fine with it because true to his word Edward stuck by my side.
The only times I had drunk alcohol before was when my mom would let me sip her drinks. I wasn't a big fan of beer but the wine coolers were good. Edward laughed and said I was truly a girl. He drank a few beers but was not going crazy like a lot of the other people at the party. I was in the basement dance with Edward when my bladder started to feel the effects of the alcohol.
"I have to pee now," I looked up at Edward with wide eyes before quickly walking away and up the stairs. I heard him laughing but all I cared about was getting to the bathroom.
There was a small line at the downstairs bathroom so I ran upstairs not thinking I would make it. Thankfully nobody was allowed upstairs so I didn't have to wait in a line. I check my makeup and hair in the mirror once done, I still looked pretty good. Then I made my way back down to the kitchen decided that I should start drinking water and lay off the wine coolers for a while.
"Edward you said you loved me and that you couldn't wait to see me tonight," I heard a high pitched voice. "Why are you acting like this now? Is it because of that ugly brunette? Well I can rock your world in ways she would never be able to baby," I peered into the kitchen seeing some blonde rub her body against Edward's. I spun around leaning against the wall shutting my eyes.
"You okay little sis," Emmett stood next to me.
"Shhh," I held my hand up to him.
"Do you want to hear the message you left for me, I have it saved," she didn't wait for Edward to answer before I heard his voice coming from her phone.
"Hey there beautiful love," my breath hitched, I thought he only called me that. "It is Edward. I called to let you know that I love you. I love you so much, I knew it since the first time I saw you and each day it grows stronger and stronger. I just love you so much and had to call you right away to let you know that. I will see you tomorrow at the party. Goodnight love, I love you." His voice seemed a little off, but hearing those words still hurt.
"Bella," Emmett's face fell.
"I have to go," I pushed away from the wall and out the front door.
Tears were running down my face and a few people I passed gave me strange looks. My heart ached, my head was pounding, and my feet hurt but I had to get away from that party.
