Evelyn's p.o.v

Purple…honestly what on earth had possessed her to choose the color purple!

"What do you think?" Bella asked me with a nervous look on her face.

"I…love it." I said to her with a forced smile.

Bella crossed her arms and glared angrily at me," Really?"

"Yes it is very…high…fashion?" I replied still smiling with force.

"You're lying to me."

"Oh come on Bella it's purple for crying out loud!" I exclaimed throwing my hands up in the air,
"Which is a good thing because you're the only one who is supposed to shine on a day like that." I quickly added when I saw her bottom lip quiver.

"I don't think a wedding dress will be able to change the way I look compared to all the lovely vampires in the room." She quietly said to me.

"Oh Bella…" I stepped off the stool I was standing on and pulled her into a hug,
"being a bride is the most beautiful thing in the world. Not even Miss Universe will look as sparkling and gorgeous as you will on your wedding day."

"Miss Universe?"

I planted a kiss on the top of her head," Yes Miss freaking Universe."

Bella chuckled and I felt relieved she wasn't sad anymore…me and my big mouth.

There was a knock on the door and Carlisle appeared from behind the door.
He had a phone in his hand and held it towards Bella,
"It's Charlie, he wants to talk to you."

Bella looked at me before taking the phone from him,
"Should I tell him you're back?" She asked me.

"If I may…" Carlisle said before I could reply to Bella,
"the wedding is tomorrow, it would be wiser to tell him and wait no longer."

I gave him a smile and nodded at Bella who placed the phone against her ear,
"Hi Dad…nervous. Listen you'll never guess who's back."

I was thinking he would immediately plus that he would probably wanted to see me before tomorrow.
I should have called him at least once during the last two months.

Carlisle placed his hand on my shoulder and gave a gently squeeze,
"Nice dress." He smirked.

"Ha, ha very funny," I punched him on the shoulder.

"Did you find the journal yet?" He then asked me.

I shook my head at him, I couldn't find it anywhere. I've emptied the suitcase and I nearly even tore it to pieces until I realized that tearing it wouldn't make any sense…at all.
I remember I still wanted to ask Esme about it, I sort of had the feeling she had something to do with it.

"You know, I might know where it is. Can you tell Bella I'll be right back?" Not awaiting his answer I ran out of the room and headed to Esme.

I found her in the kitchen. She was making a centerpiece for tomorrows wedding.

"Esme,"

The mother of all of the Cullen children looked up from her work and I noticed her gaze observing me from head to toe.

"I hope you're more pleased with the dress then Rosalie is." She giggled lightly.

When Rosalie was trying the dress on it took about 1 minute and it was off again.
"It fits," she had said and left the room, immediately heading to her bedroom to slip into her own clothes.

Bella had shrugged and said," Oh well at least she didn't rip it…"

I shook my head and focused on my question," Have you by any change taken the Journal, Carlisle gave me before we left two months ago?"

Esme cocked her head and immediately answered with a no,
"Why did you think I took it?" she asked.

"I thought you might because you appeared to be happy when I didn't find it earlier on." I told her.

She laughed at my remark and continued her work on the flowers," It's nice when Carlisle isn't focusing on work constantly, but no, I didn't take it, sweetheart."

Well this was unexpected…
I really thought Esme was the one who took it. But if she didn't…who did? Or did I forget to pack it?

"Do you want me to help you look for it?" She asked me.

"No need, I'll manage." I smiled back and left her to work on the centerpieces.

Darn this, I really could care less about the journal, but I made a promise to Carlisle about it. And I don't want to break any promises.

I entered the living room and found Alice and Rick sitting on the couch. They looked so much in love.
She had her legs resting on his lap as he gently stroked the back of her neck.

I should have thought of this before…maybe Alice is able to see if I were to find the journal?

"Alice?" I called out to her. She turned her head in my direction and smiled brightly.

"You're wearing the dress!" She exclaimed and jumped up.

Before I knew it she had turned me around and smoothed the fabric at the back.

"What do you think?" Alice asked her mate.

Rick stood beside her and scratched his chin," Very purple isn't it?"

"There's nothing wrong with the color purple." She replied.

I rolled my eyes," I want to ask you something Alice."

She clapped her hands together." You want me to arrange your marriage too?"

Wait, what?

Rick arched an eyebrow," You're getting married?"

My eyes widened," I'm not getting married." I quickly replied.

Alice pouted.

"I'm looking for that bloody journal Carlisle gave me. I can't find it anywhere, perhaps you can see if I'll find it?" I asked her hopefully.

Her eyes diverted from me to Rick who casually ran his hand through his hair.

"I'll let you know when I see you finding it." She said to me, then she pushed me towards the staircase,
" Bella is waiting for you, hurry back there and take this dress of before Jasper tears it from your body."

I did as she said, but I wasn't feeling at ease. I got the feeling she knew something about the missing journal but she was reluctant to tell me.

I entered the room Bella was in. She had just hung up the phone.

"Dad wants to see you today, let me warn you, he isn't in a good mood." She said as soon as she saw me.

I groaned," of course he isn't."

"Let's get you out of this dress and head over there." She continued.

"Whoa, hold on a minute."I jumped back," I can't go see him my eyes aren't exactly the color they used to be. He may be thickheaded sometimes, but he's no fool."

"That's why we have these." Bella rushed to the dressing table and grabbed a small white box.
She handed it to me. I read the words on the little box.

"Contact lenses…"

Bella nodded." According to Carlisle they'll evaporate after a while, although he's not sure how long exactly they'll last."

"Can't I just wear sunglasses?"

Bella frowned at my idea," inside? Plus the cloudy weather outside?"

"I'll tell him I'm having a contagious eye infection."

"You wouldn't even believe that." She started to laugh.

I sighed deeply and placed the box back on the dressing table,
"You're right. Now get me out of this dress before it grows on me."

Edwards's p.o.v

I kept opening and closing the box. Then reopening it and closing it once more.
I never knew I would feel so…nervous about this.
We had talked about it over and over again.
It meant a lot to me, perhaps even more then to her… I'm old-fashioned that way.
But now that the moment was coming closer by the minute, I was starting to feel very…

"You're not enjoying this are you?" Emmett awoke me from my thoughts.
He dropped a grizzly bear in front of my feet.

"If you want to spend your bachelor party in a different way, we can always head into the local strip club." He added.
I clobbered him on the head.
Never in my right mind will I go to a strip club.

"Ouch, man. I was only kidding. You know what Rosalie will do to me if we were in a strip club?"
Emmett complained.
Then I picked up on his thoughts, she would ruffle me up good.

"Ugh, keep those thoughts to yourself Em." I smirked.

I turned my attention to Jasper who has been awfully quiet.
I knew what was on his mind, but I didn't dare to start about it.
This was something he had to deal with himself, as I once had too.

When the boys came to pick me up, Bella asked Jasper where they were taking me, and he assured her not to worry about that. Real gentlemen as us don't go to trashy places as a strip club.
Then she made the mistake of telling him that she would defiantly take Evy to a strip club once they were to be wed.
Oh boy, the look on Jaspers face and the thought going on and on in his mind!

It's a good thing Evelyn wasn't there at the moment Bella had said that.
Charlie thought Evelyn was in Bella's room. Two ladies talking about the wedding, if only he knew she had left and I was in there instead of his niece.
I smiled, thinking back of my moment with Bella. It was incredible difficult to keep control of my urges.
She wasn't very helpful, kept on seducing me even though she knew what I am capable of doing should I get pushed too far.
Thank heavens for my strength of self control.
Even with her legs over my body and hips pressing against my side…FOCUS!

"Edward, could you please stop playing with that jewelry box? It's making me edgy." Jasper shouted to me.

"Jazz my man, not you too. This is a bachelor party, which means, wrestling, fighting, and a couple of mountain lions or bears!" Emmett growled at us as he slapped Jasper in his back.

He was absolutely right. No more thought about tomorrow or anything else which had to do with marriage!
I placed the box in my jacket, zipped it up and the three of us headed into the night for some hunting.

like i said, shorter BUT! you can all guess what the next chapter will be about teehee ^^

oh and REVIEWS PLEASE! :D can't keep inspiration up without those lovely reviews!
