(disclaimer: I owe nothing except for Evelyn Swan and her story)
Evelyn p.o.v
"How about this?" Alice asked me holding up yet another example of the invitation letter.
"Alice…" I groaned rubbing my face with my hands," you have showed me over 12 different styles of writing, ribbons and paper. I honestly don't mind which one you pick!"
Alice rolled her eyes at my reply," Really Eve, you are just like Bella!"
She placed the letter back on top of the table," I just hope you will act more excited about your wedding dress."
From the corner of my eye I saw Rosalie lifting her hand, mimicking Alice her movements.
I hid my laugh behind a loud cough.
Recollecting myself I said to Alice," I promise you, I will me more enthusiastic about the dress than the invitation letters."
"Good, then that's what we're going to do now!" Alice replied as she grabbed my hand and dragged me over to the other side of the table where she had magazine spread across the surface.
I never realized how picky I was until ten minutes had past and I still hadn't seen a dress that I liked.
"Alice this is taking too long, can't you visualize the dress that I will choose?"
Alice smiled and said," No."
"Ugh…" I moaned as I buried head in my hands.
"What do you think of this dress?" Rosalie asked me, shoving a magazine in my direction.
I picked it up and scanned the page.
I couldn't believe it, but this was the one. This dress was perfect! Just by looking at it I knew this was the one for me. The dress was white as snow. The back of the dress was low cut and hugged the top part of the body in the right places. The bottom part of the dress flowed over the floor. It was perfect.
"I guess we find the dress." I said with content. Alice and Rosalie smiled at each other.
"Great!" Alice exclaimed," And now back to the invitations."
Defeated I let myself fall back in one of the chairs as Alice pulled out the box with different styled invitations.
Just pick one, just point at one and give a good reason then she'll leave you alone.
"Hello ladies!" Rick called out entering the room we were in," ah, busy with the wedding I see."
He grinned, a bit too much to my liking.
"Sweetie this is women central for a moment." Alice said to her mate.
"It's okay Alice perhaps Rick can help us with this difficulty." I suggested, actually I was hoping that with Rick here Alice would ease up about the whole thing. Gosh I do sound like Bella.
"Oh no, no need, I'll be out of your way my love." Rick smiled as he kissed her quickly and with that he left.
There goes my ticket out of here…
Rick walked out of the room grinning from ear to ear, he knew perfectly well that Evelyn wanted to get out of the room, but this was just too funny he couldn't resist messing with the situation for a moment.
"Why are you grinning so mischievously?"
Rick turned around to see Jasper sitting on the couch with Emmett who was watching a baseball match on television.
"I was checking on the women." Rick answered Jaspers question," Your mate feels a tad bit,-"
"Annoyed?" Jasper smirked," I know, Alice can be quite…energetic about certain things, especially weddings. I'm glad not to be in that room at the moment."
"Aw man! They lost!" Emmett suddenly blurted out, he switched of the television and looked at the others," Who's up for a little brawl?"
On cue Evelyn came running into the living room and jumped into her soon to be husband's arms.
"Hide me." She whispered as she hid her face against Jasper's chest who protectively wrapped his arms around her.
Alice walked into the room and stopped next to the couch with her arms crossed," Evy honestly, you're almost as bad as Bella."
"I really don't mind." Evelyn said with a muffled voice. She lifted her head and looked at her mate who appeared a bit taken back by her cocky expression.
"Shall we switch places? You can talk about the wedding with Alice, you know give your opinion about it and I will wrestle with Emmett."
Before Jasper had a chance to respond to her Emmett clapped his hands together and was about to lift Evelyn from Jaspers grasp, when all of a sudden Jasper decided he wouldn't have any of that. He jumped of the couch while holding Evelyn in his arms.
"I have a better idea…" He grinned and he turned his head towards Alice," Sorry ma'am, but me and the almost misses have other plans for a moment."
"Jasper, you can't do this to me!" She exclaimed, but it was too tale. Jasper winked at her and off he ran with Evelyn through the door (which was held open by Rick).
Evelyn's p.o.v.
I couldn't believe it. I tried my best not to laugh but I failed miserably. Jasper joined in on the laughter a bit more discreet then me of course. Somehow he couldn't believe what he had just done.
"Aw, poor Alice," I said immediately when Jazz had stopped running.
"You can't fool me, my love. You mean nothing of it." He smiled as he set me back on my feet.
"Oh the faith thou hast in me."
Tucking my hair behind my ear, Jasper leaned in and smoothly kissed my lips.
"I don't like it that Alice is keeping you from me. Perhaps we should elope and just get married in a remote village somewhere in Switzerland." I knew he was joking. He wouldn't dare leaving and deny the Cullens our wedding.
"Alice would eat you alive." I responded.
"After she finished nibbling on you, my Darlin'," Jasper smirked," speaking of a nibble…"
Hungrily he attacked my neck and nibbled down my collar bone.
"I guess…mmm- we'll be back…a lot later…" I tried to speak but I couldn't help but moan at the lovely shivers Jazz was causing.
"Hush." He commanded before kissing me fiercely. I was getting impatient with his teasing, his hot lips trailed back to my collar bone as he undid the buttons of my shirt. Now I knew for sure he was teasing, normally my clothes would have been torn to shreds. I couldn't control my lust any longer and he knew it for he pushed me up against a tree and held my arms above my head as he kissed me again.
"Is that how you want to play, love?" I whispered in his ear. The look on Jaspers face was priceless, the hunger and lust spread across his face was almost enough to send me over the edge. I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled him close, his desire pressed up against me.
"You know you can't win this game…"
Jasper stared into my eyes and smirked," I'll take that bet ma'am."
It was dark by the time we arrived back at the house. Before we went inside I waited for Jasper to scan the overall emotions in the house, I didn't want an angry Alice breathing (well not literally) down my neck.
Jasper nodded and we headed inside. As soon as I crossed the doorstep I stopped immediately. Someone was approaching the house and it wasn't any of the Cullens. Yet somehow the scent was familiar and disgusting.
"Can you tell who it is?" I asked Jasper rather nervously. He pushed me behind him and we waiting for the individual to show appear.
"Wolf…" Jasper growled which I had guessed by the awful smell. This was one thing I felt really terrible about, I knew of the treaty the Cullens had with the Quileute tribe but it gave me a nasty feeling. The only one who knows about me being changed in the Cullens home is Billy Black.
(Flashback)
"Did you choose this life Evelyn Swan, yes or no?" He asked me, not frightened by my voice.
I should have guessed, he's probably used to those mutts growling all the time.
I wanted to tell him, but I knew if I told him it could turn the wolves against the Cullens.
Something I did not want to happen.
But I did not want to lie to him either.
"I will not answer your question because it is none of your business."
I turned around and walked away from him, but then he said something that stopped me in my tracks.
"I know what happened to you on that mountain and I know what happened afterwards."
I couldn't help but swallow a lump in my throat away," It's something I'd rather not remember."
"You were changed without permission." Billy continued as he moved closer," It's something we are against. Actually even if they had your permission,-"
"I was dead Billy!" I said perhaps a bit too loud.
"If Sam or anyone else of the pack finds out you were changed here instead of on that mountain…"
This was new to me. I had no idea that the wolves were unaware of the whole situation.
They knew I had been changed, but they believed it was on top of the mountain…outside of the area…
"You're always welcome in my home." Billy said to me," I may be getting older but I sure still remember the old days when you were still a kid."
I gave him a small nod and waited until he left the kitchen. I leaned back against the counter and ran my hand through my hair.
Why am I feeling so tense…?
(end of flashback)
Billy's message was perfectly clear, the treaty stated that the Cullens were not allowed to bite humans or set foot on Quileute territory. Unfortunately by biting me, even though I was technically dead, they broke the treaty. Should Sam or anyone else of the pack hear of this… I shook my head. They should and will never find that out.
"It's Jacob." Carlisle had stepped out of the house with Esme by his side.
"Do you know why he's here Carlisle?" I asked nervously, Jasper held me close as he calmed me down.
Carlisle shook his head. At that moment Jacob appeared on the driveway on his motorbike, he hit the brakes and stepped off the vehicle.
"Where is she!" was the first thing he said, no demanded as soon as he had removed his helmet.
"Who are you talking about Jacob?" Carlisle asked him calmly.
"Don't play dumb with me, Dr Fang. I'm talking about Bella! I got a message from her saying she would return to Forks today."
I looked at Jasper with confusion, I wasn't aware of the fact Bella would return to Forks today. By the angry look on Jaspers face I guessed I was the only one who didn't know.
"Well Jacob, you managed to spoil the surprise we had planned for Evelyn." Carlisle sighed as he looked at me." we wanted to surprise you."
I smiled at Carlisle but soon turned my attention back to Jacob.
"Is that why you're here, because you wanted to see Bella?" I asked him." Or is because you want to check and see if she's still human?"
"I didn't know you were a mind reader Evy." Jacob sneered at me causing Jasper to growl at him.
"As you can see Bella isn't here yet, so I would appreciate it if you would leave." Carlisle said stepping between Jacob and the rest of us," when Bella arrives I'll tell her to contact you."
Jacob pressed his lips together and shook his head one quick second," no, I prefer waiting."
"You don't have to wait." The soft chiming voice of Alice sound from the doorpost," They'll be here in 30 seconds."
The trusted sound of Edwards car echoed through the trees and honestly I don't know what came over me but I moved myself out of Jaspers arms and started to run towards the sound of the approaching car. I heard Jasper calling my name but I didn't listen, I wanted to see Bella before anyone else would. I guess I was as curious about this as Jacob was. I turned the corner and immediately spotted the car. As I kept on running I started to wonder if Bella had been changed or if she was still…human. The answer was already there, Bella happily waved at me as I ran alongside of the moving vehicle. The image of her hit me harder than I thought it would. I stopped. Edward didn't stop and I stood there in the middle of the road not sure what to feel.
the flashback came from chapter 8 (incase you wanted to know)
I hope I tickled your interest with this chapter ^^
