"Alice!! Wait the FUCK up!"

I screamed.

" Bella, we are going to be late to the wedding! Rosalie will KILL us!"

She peeked around the corner of the small hotel room bathroom, where I was finishing the last touches on my hair. I looked in the mirror at myself, and sighed.

My dark brown hair hung in loose waives down to my waist.

I awkwardly fidgeted, trying to make the "lame excuse for a dress" that I was wearing seem a little longer.

The teal piece of material clung to my body, barely hitting me mid thigh.

I felt like my boobs were going to pop out of the top, it was so tight.

I had to admit though, the blue tint did make my pale skin seem more appealing.

" OK alice. Im almost done."

I set down the curling iron on the sink counter, while checking to make sure the small amount of make up I applied hadn't smudged.

" Ready!" I proclaimed as I slightly wobbled to the door, in the death trap heals Alice had made me worn.

Alice is my best friend, ever since I was 13. Same with Rosalie.

I loved them both as my sisters. They were the most important people in my life since my father past away. My mother had died years ago, committing suicide.

I was so thankful for Alice adopting me when I was 15.

I had no where to go.

Moving in with her was a dream come true. She was fully supported by her parents, and they didn't mind help dishing the extra money to support me until I graduated highschool.

I am now 16, and forever grateful to a 24 year old Alice and her parents.

Rosalie has always been there for me also.

She always helped me with boy problems, math homework, and the other normal problems in life. We all have grown really close.

And today Rosalie is getting married to one of my close friends Emmet.

I couldn't be happier for her.

Both Alice and I are bridesmaids, and almost running late.

" ok. I think we will be fine. I will just have to break the speed limit in order to get us there in time."

I nodded at Alice in agreement, and then smoothly slid into the passenger seat of her yellow Porsche.

What can I say, the girl has money.

As soon as we pulled out of the hotel parking lot, we sped off down the road, towards the courtyard where the wedding is being held.

" ohhhh Bellaaaaaaaa. Guess what?"

Alice squealed while visibly gripping the steering wheel tightly.

" yes Ali?"

" Okay. The one and only Mr. Edward Cullen himself will be attending the wedding. He is Emmets cousin."

My jaw fell open and I gasped.

"WHATTT!?"

"yuppp."

Oh my lord. Edward Cullen. He is literally, the most powerful man in the world. He is CEO of Cullen CO,, and owns most of the hospitals and insurance agencies across the United States and many other countries as well.

Not only is he business savy and the richest man in America,but he is gorgeous. Probably a major player too.

Wow. I totally did not know Emmett is related to him!

That is pretty cool.

Although ive never been too fond of Edward as a person, whenever I see him in interviews he always seems aloof and distant. Almost rude. But I have to admit, he is DROP DEAD gorgeous.

" That's crazy Alice." I said in awe.

She paused and bit her lip.

She always does that when she is nervous.

Uh. Oh.

" Well Bella, the reason I am telling you this is because… I… sorta put you at the same table as him during the reception because I thought you two might make a good couple?"

She glanced warily at me.

" ALICE BRANDON! You WHAT!!??"

I screamed.

" Do you want me to tell you how many things that are so wrong with that sentence!?"

I was quieter now.

" I am 16 YEARS OLD Alice. HE is 26 or something like that! Completely illegal! Second of all, He would NEVER want me!"

She scoffed and raised her eyebrow at me.

" Yeah right Bella, you are beautiful! And you look and act so much older than your age."

" Maybe so… but that doesn't change anything."

I paused thoughtfully.

" OH! And thirdly, I don't even really like him! He is an arrogant player! I also will be Completely dumbstruck in his presence! I won't know what to say!"

" YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT TO SAY."

She stated loudely.

" AND… why would you be completely dumbstruck?"

She smiled, already knowing why.

" You know why Ali!!!!"

I was blushing by this point.

She laughed and held up one hand in surrender.

" I guess we will just see how it plays out. No going back now Bells. I can't rearrange seating now, it's too late."

" fine."

I slumped into my seat and pouted the entire ride there.

As we pulled up to the courtyard, I could see all the people starting to make their way to their seats. We rushed out of the car and up the narrow path in our small bridemaids dresses.

Why Rosalie Picked them… I really don't know.

They look like something you would wear to a night club, not a wedding.

I opened the glass door to the small building to the side, from where we would be walking up the aisle.

I then spotted Rosalie, looking as beautiful as ever in her white princess dress.

" Where the HELL where you guys? I was starting to freak out!"

I suddenly felt bad, this was Rosalie's day, and she shouldn't feel more stressed than necessary.

" Sorry Rose, it was my fault." I smiled apologetically.

She hugged me and Ali at the same time unexpectedly.

" Oh honey don't worry! Its fine! Im so glad you both are finally here though!"

" us too." Alice and I said in unison. We both laughed and beamed at eachother.

We were interrupted by the wedding planner telling us to get in position.

I did as I was told and went to stand by Jacob, the sweet guy I was to walk down the aisle with. Jacob was about 6 feet tall, tan, kind, and charismatic. He was a great guy.

" Hey Bella." He smiled at me as I walked up to him and we linked arms.

" Hey Jake."

We had gotten to know each other the past couple days we were here, during rehersal, back at the hotel, etc.

He was a good friend, and about 5 years older than me.

HA.

What is it with me and older people, huh?

The music started playing and the first couple started walking down the aisle.

We were next.

" Ready?" Jake whispered.

I glanced at him and nodded.

He then tugged on my arm and we started walking.

There were so many people here. Everywhere.

All the people in the seats turned around to look at us as we continued our decent. I tried to hide my blush and looked above their heads, avoiding their critical stares.

And then I saw him.

Edward Fucking Cullen.

He was sitting in the very front row off, to the left, and staring directly at me.

He was so gorgeous.

Even sitting down, I could tell he was tall and very well toned. His bronze hair styled up into a casual disarray, and his smoldering eyes a green, topaz color. His jaw was so chiseled and well defined, it could cut glass. I was sure of it.

I glanced down at my feet for the first time, and kept my eyes down until I got to the end of the aisle and Jake and I parted.

I went to stand on the left side next to the other bridesmaid, Angela.

When I looked up, I once again met the smoldering gaze of Mr. Cullen, sitting directly in front of me. He was Still staring at me.

If I wouldn't have known better, I would say he was….

Checking me out.

No way.

I averted my eyes.

Angela leaned over to whisper in my ear.

" dude… Edward Cullen is thoroughly eye fucking you right now."

My jaw slacked, and she began to chuckle nervously.

I guess my suspicions have been confirmed.

Me, Edward Cullen, and eye fuckery, just do NOT belong in the same sentence.

Who would have known.

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! should I continue?
