Chapter 18

Edward POV

"Finally", came a voice from behind us, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes, and grimace. Alice had arrived. She had impeccable timing; as per usual.

"Now can I invite her to the wedding?" Alice carried on, placing her little hands on her little hips, and raising an eyebrow at me. I'd been worried that Bella might be a little…overwhelmed if Alice suddenly invited her, then again, Alice's idea of inviting her to the wedding, was announcing that Bella was going to be a bridesmaid. She'd have liked to have made her the maid of honour…but she'd already asked Rosalie.

I grinned back at Alice, and she gave me a massive, beaming smile, before turning to Bella, who's cheeks had flushed a beautiful cherry red colour; which was attracting me to her even more. I was now quite partial to the colour on her pale face. Then again, I was pretty much partial to anything Bella-fied. She was the closest to perfect you could be. I reached across and brushed several locks of hair out of her face.

"Bella!" Alice exclaimed in her 'excited' voice; which was several octaves higher than her 'normal' voice. Any higher, and nobody save dogs would be hearing her. "Will you be my bridesmaid? Please, please, please, please?!"

She gave Bella the 'Alice pout': her deadliest weapon. That face had disarmed many a man, and woman alike. No wonder she'd never had any detentions…or speeding tickets…or nights in a cell…

Bella, on the contrary, appeared slightly…very shocked.

"Alice", she gasped, "are you sure you want me to be your…uh…bridesmaid?"

"Of course I am", Alice replied, matter of factly. "If I wasn't, I wouldn't have asked."

She gave Bella another big smile, and Bella returned it this time. She looked extremely happy.

"Then yes, I wouldn't miss the chance to be in my best friend's wedding," Bella spoke with a happy lilt in her tone. "It'd be an honour."

I watched, almost in slow motion, as Alice bounded over and threw her arms around Bella's shoulders from behind the couch. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she screamed as she clutched Bella. I couldn't help but grin my face off at the sight. My sister and my…girlfriend; happy together…best friends. Bella wanted her 'dream guy' to have a nice family didn't she? Was this a start?

I caught her little smile, that was directed at me, and I grinned back at her, apparently it was. I wrapped my arm back around her waist, and told Alice she ought to get off Bella before she suffocated. Bella gave me a grateful look, before Alice began to wiz her off and out of my sight.

Then I got up off the sofa myself, and cleared everything away whilst Alice helped Bella get ready for bed. Wondering when I could ask Bella to join me in my bed.

Not for sex or anything…I just wanted to sleep by her side…wake up with her by my side.

I wanted my pillows to smell like her strawberry shampoo. Actually, I wanted Bella as a pillow. Hell, I was just obsessed with her. She was…amazing; I didn't want to spend a single second without her. Even now, as I knew she was in the bathroom with Alice, I was missing her. I wanted…I wanted a hug.

I was turning into such a girl.

I walked over to my piano, and decided to lose myself for a little while. It wasn't long before I heard Bella exit the bathroom, and turned around to grin at her. She was changed into different pyjamas, and her hair was still a little damp, but she looked lovely. Alice danced around her, and bounded out of the door with a quick 'goodbye', and Bella and I were left just staring at each other.

"That sounded…really good." Bella said softly, gesturing to the piano. I smiled at her, and patted the stool next to me. She hobbled over and joined me, and I began to play again. A small, smug, smile was unsurpassable, as I watched the awed look on her face. I couldn't help but remember once again the disgusted look on Tanya's face when she discovered my hidden talent. I found myself contrasting the two of them in my head. Bella was a short, genuine, intelligent, talented, polite, loving, wonderful brunette, who appeared to like my piano skills. She got along with my family, and she didn't like having money spent on her.

Tanya, on the other hand was a rude, insufferable, materialistic, fake cow, who had no talents of her own, and instead crushed the hearts of others by taking the piss out of their talents. Wow, I'd become bitter in my old age. I wondered how I'd been stupid enough to fall for her as a teenager. I turned to look down at Bella, and saw everything I wanted.

Tanya was the embodiment of everything I didn't want. Obviously my priorities and preferences were very much different as a teenager, than they were now. I was definitely, one hundred percent far more sensible than I was back then. I supposed that I wasn't looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with back then. Now, I wasn't exactly getting any younger, and my little sister was almost married. My brother was also pretty much settled down, though he was just waiting now to pop the question. That left me the loner of the group, as usual. Would Bella finally complete our little gang? Would five become six, and would I abandon my position as the fifth wheel? After all, Alice already loved her, and I was positive that she'd get along with everyone else in the family - how could she not?

I sighed softly under my breath, and sent up a little prayer for just that as I finished playing. I leant gently against Bella and felt her warmth against my side. Yes, I thought to myself, as her sturdy frame supported my leaning, this is what I want. Someone by my side.

I leant down and kissed Bella on the forehead.

"Come on", I murmured, "let's get you into bed."

She nodded, her eyes sparkling, and I helped her to her room. When we reached the door, she reached up to cup my cheek in her hand, and I leant down to press my lips against hers. Electricity coursed through my body as we kissed, and I had to restrain myself from not pushing her back into the door and kissing her harder. I suddenly wanted to make out like teenagers right there. But I found myself pulling back, and squeezing her little hand in mine. I watched her go back into her room, and close the door, before walking to my own.

I flopped down on the bed without changing, my head filled with thoughts of the woman just a few metres away from me.

It was going to be a long night.

A/n: Okay, okay, I know this chapter is pretty rubbish. But hopefully I'll be able to make a better job of the next one. I just needed a bit of a 'filler' or something here. I'll try to make a long chapter for you guys next time! Anyway, REVIEW! PLEASE?! And, of course, go check out my other stories. And if anyone fancies doing any Beta Reading for me, then drop me a line, okay? Cheers.
