2. The In-Laws

The rest of the 'Cullen Clan' lived down the road. Their house was the largest, by far. It was almost 6 times the size of Dylan and my house. It was modern and new, with its boxy shapes and its glass walls, it didn't belong here. It seemed like it belonged in the hills of L.A..
"Wow. It's beautiful..." I gawked.
"My parents built it when we moved her a year ago. My mother, Esme, designed it." Edward explained.
"She designer it!?" I gasped.
"She is very talented..." Bella added.
"Alright, alright, let's go inside now." Edward said quietly.
"Okay." Bella said softly. She grabbed my hand and squeezed it. She led me to the front door. The house was just as beautiful on the inside as the outside. It appeared that no one was there. Then I heard foot step coming from upstairs. Then came the sound of two people arguing about who won some type of game.
"Emmett!! I clearly owned your existence!" screamed a small musical voice.
"Alice!!! You cheated! You could see what I was going to do! Re-match right now!!!" A husky voice yelled. Bella laughed.
"Down here..." Edward called. The man and women ran down the stairs. The man was very tall with dark curly hair. He was very muscular. He was very intimidating. The women was short; barley 4'5''. She had short spiky black hair. She was very pixie like.
"Hey!" The girl sang, "I'm Alice, you must be Gianna and Dylan." Alice walked over to me and hugged me. I had to kind-of squat to hug her. She reached up to hug Dylan. She then floated over to Nessie and hugged her. She greeted everyone else, except Jacob. I didn't understand why....
"I'm Emmett... I know I'm big and strong, but don't be 'scurred'..." Emmett said while flexing his muscles. Bella laughed again.
"She beat you Emmett... I know she did fair and square..." Bella laughed.
"NO! She cheated! Re-match tonight Alice!" Emmett growled. Bella laughed louder.
"Right after we have our arm-wrestle re-match..." she laughed, "I'll win by the way!" she added cunningly.
"Puh-leze! You may have won that one time but you won't win again... especially now..." Emmett egged.
"We'll see..." Bella snickered.
"This is going well..." Jacob said in a cocky voice. Nessie elbowed him. He didn't flinch.
"Um... how about we meet the rest of the family..." Edward said breaking the awkward silence.
"By the way, Rose and Jaz went hiking..." Emmett added.
"Kay..." Bella said. She pulled my hand to lead me into what seemed like a living room. There was a caramel haired woman with golden eyes waiting for us inside. She spun around and smiled. She greeted Edward and Bella. Nessie ran to her and gave her a kiss.
"You must be Esme..." I concluded.
"Very good... You must be Gianna!" She said in a motherly tone. She was sweet. I'd never met anybody so sweet in my life. A tall blonde man walked into the room.
"Carlisle!" Nessie yelled as she ran to him.
"Hey kiddo!" he said in a smooth velvet voice. He had the looks of a model. His golden eyes matched the rest of the Cullen's eyes. He walked over to me and Dylan.
"Hello, I'm Dr.Cullen, just call me Carlisle." He said while shaking my hand. A hand shake to Dylan followed.
"Gianna and this is my boyfriend Dylan." I said.
"Not for long...." Alice said lowly. I laughed thinking she was joking. Edward mouthed her name. She giggled.
"By the way, Jasper is my husband and Rosalie is Emmett's wife. They're twins... they hike a lot because their parents used to take them hiking before they died." Alice said with a giggle.
"Oh.... So how are you all related?" I asked. Esme chuckled.
"Esme and Carlisle are me and Emmett's biological parents. They adopted the twins when we were younger." Edward explained.
"But Emmett's hair is so dark... and all of you have the same color eyes..." I said without thinking about how rude it was.
"Emmett dyes his hair... don't ask and when Esme and Carlisle went to the adoption agency, they adopted the twins because they had the same color eyes as us. Alice married in... We love just as much though." Edward said with a smile.
"Oh..." I answered.
"Alice!!!" Nessie screamed enthusiastically.
"What Ness?" Alice asked with a smile.
"We're having a sleep over at Gianna's for my birthday!" Nessie said loudly and redirected her attention to me, "Alice is an excellent party planner and a kick-butt cosmetologist!" She explained.
"You're making me blush Ness." She giggled. Edward and Bella giggled too.
"You and Au... I mean Rosalie are invited too Esme!" Nessie said happily. She floated towards Alice and hugged her.
"Sound like it will be fun!" Esme said.
"Woot! Guy’s night! Football! Oh man! Prepare to be dominated!" Emmett said while he clapped and jumped. It reminded me of a touch-down dance. I laughed.
"Dylan, you are welcome to join us while we let the girls have their fun..." Carlisle said.
"Sure. I'll bring some pizza's. We're gonna party-hardy on Nessie's birthday I presume..." Dylan asked.
"Yeah, but at night, cause I want the day with my girl... " Jacob said while his face softened. It was clear to see that Jacob was totally in love with Renesmee. Even if he was at least 10 years older than her. Nessie smiled and blushed. Edward sighed. Bella elbowed him. Nessie made her way into Jacob's arms. He kissed the top of her head lightly. Edward growled. I didn't know if Edward was really protective of Renesmee or if he despised Jacob. I stared at him, trying to read him.
"We'll all have the day with her Jacob, she is all of our family..." Bella reminded him. Edward grew calmer.
"I'm okay as long as I get to be the center of attention..." Nessie laughed.
"You are the exact opposite of your mother in that way Ness... " Alice said. The Cullen’s laughed. Bella's eyes widened.
"Umm..." She said changing the subject, "how about we take a tour of the house?"
"Um, I'm actually supposed to pick up my car today..." Dylan explained.
"Excellent!" Alice yelled. "We'll let the boys go get Dylan's car while us girls go pick out new P.J.s for Nessie's party!!"
"Uh, I wanna come too, even if this makes me a girl. My hairs long enough." Jacob laughed. I laughed too. Jacob had the longest hair I'd ever seen. It wasn't really that long, I was just use to Dylan's short hair. His hair wasn't short either. It could be described at skater hair, but it was at least a foot and a half shorter than Jacob's.
"Uh, okay... " I said.
"I'll see you later baby. I love you. " Dylan said while her took me in his arms and kissed me gently.
"I love you too. " I said while catching my breath.
" I have my cell if you need me." He said while releasing his grip from my waist.
" I have mine too." I said. Edward walked over to Bella.
"I'll be back love. " He said in his velvet voice. Edward had this way about him. Although he was my brother-in-law, he dazzled me. He was perfect. He made me feel weak when he spoke to Bella, it made me feel guilty.
"I know, I love you." Bella answered. He whispered something into her hair. I guessed it was an inaudible 'I love to too'. He walked over to Nessie and kissed the top of her head. Edward shook Carlisle's hand and hugged Esme. Emmett decided that if was far too time consuming to say good-bye to everyone individually so he simply threw one of his massive arms in the air and waved.
"Bye! Tell Rose I love her if you see her before I do!" Emmet said while he walked towards the door. And like that he, Edward and Dylan we're gone.
"Ready to shop ladies?" Alice asked in a funny accent.
"I was born ready!" I joked.
"Oh, I like her. So Gianna, how do you feel about Fendi, Prada, Gucci.... hmm?" she asked in the same fake French accent.
"I love them, now if I could afford them, then I'd be in heaven." I laughed.
"Oh, I really like her! Looks like we'll be sharing a closet!" She laughed.
"Alright... can we go now, I'm starving!" Jacob interrupted.
"Gianna, why don't you go invite Marcie?" Bella asked.
"I would but I highly doubt that Carol will let her near me now that I’m not speaking to her." I said.
" Why wouldn't you be talking to you mother?" Esme asked.
"She kept me away from Charlie by telling him I was dead to I refuse to talk to her." I explained.
"Goodness." Esme said. She seemed shocked.
"He would have loved you, you know." Bella said.
" I wish I could have met him." I said with a sigh.
"He will always be with you both, remember that Gianna." Carlisle said.
" I guess you're right." I followed. I looked up and smiled and added, "Let's shop!!"
Alice chuckled. She walked over to me and put her arm around my shoulder.
"This is the beginning of a beautiful relationshop.... did I say shop?... I meant ship." Alice giggled. We walked outside to Bella's car; a sexy black Lexus .
"Meet Lexi!" she chuckled as she pet the car.
"Ha- Lexi, I get it." I joked. Bella. Nessie, Jacob and I got into Bella's Lexi and Esme and Alice ducked into a slick yellow Porsche
The ride to the mall was filled with talk. Bella and Nessie acted as tour guides and told me everything about everything we passed on the way. Jacob stayed quiet. He was the only man in the car after all.
The mall was pretty quiet. I guess all malls are on Tuesday mornings. Alice led us straight to an intimates store with a French name I couldn't pronounce.
"How do you say that?" I asked while I gawked at the name. 'Au-dessus de Beauté'.
"Don't worry about it..." Alice giggled, "it means Above Beauty."
I sighed at my inability to read the sign. I had taken French in 9th and 10th grade. Then I laughed at myself and followed Alice into the store that defeated me. Nessie ran to a rack with silk shorts on it. She picked out a pair of green shorts with cute blue polka dots on them. She ran to another rack with silk camis on it and picked out a blue one to match the dots on the shorts. I was so busy paying attention to Nessie that I lost Alice. Bella just seemed lost herself. She clearly wasn't into that stuff. Jacob looked so uncomfortable. A woman that passed him stared in awe. She didn't stop looking until Jacob yipped at her.
"Take a picture! It will take longer!" he growled in frustration. I giggled. The women ran off in fear. Jacob was quite intimidating.
"I should have eaten her..." He added. I burst into a compulsive laughter. Jacob looked my way. I imagined him going all big-bad-wolf on the poor old granny and eating her. Jacob could play a big-bad-wolf quiet well, he just needed a fur coat. He grinned.
"You must REALLY be hungry, preying on little old ladies?" I giggled.
"You have no idea." He laughed. I returned to what I was looking at. I picked out a silk night dress with lace on the neckline and hem-line. The baby blue silk turned platinum when it was moved around in the light. I picked up the price tag.
'$365!?!?!?' I thought to myself in shock.
"Those blasted French..." I said quietly out-loud. Bella walked out of her dressing room in the blue satin pants and tank top duo she had picked. She walked towards me.
"Picked anything?" She asked.
"No, I don't have the kind of funds to pick something out. Maybe I'll get some undies and throw on an old t-shirt of Dylan's and call it a night." I laughed in defeat. The panties were probably 50 dollars. Bella picked up the price tag to the dress I was looking at.
"Let me get it for you." She said kindly.
"Uh, No... I won't let you..." I said.
"Oh common, don't be like me! I never let anybody get me anything. Think of it as 17 years of belated birthday presents on top of 6 years worth of anniversary presents on top of 17 Christmases on top of 17 more holidays where it is tradition to endow one's family with gifts! Please!!!" Bella begged.
"No!" I laughed.
"I'm getting it for you! Now go try it on!" She commanded. She pushed the night dress in my direction and pushed me to the dressing room.
"Bella,... I..." I tried to debate.
"Uh-uh, go." She swayed. I gave in.
"I should eat her too." Jacob growled at a women that had stared at him too long. I laughed again. Bella shoved me into the dressing room and close the door.
"Just because I'm in here doesn't mean I'm going to try it on." I called to her.
"I'll come in and dress you!" She warned with a giggle.
"What's up?" I heard Alice ask.
"She won't let me buy her the night dress." Bella explained.
"You two are definitely related. I'll go half if it makes you feel better..." Alice called in to me.
"No!" I laughed while I reluctantly slipped on the night dress. It fit perfectly.
"Yes!" Alice laughed. Bella and she knew they would win. I did too.
"See?" I said while walking out of the dressing room.
"Very nice. Size 4 I'm guessing?" Alice asked. She elbowed Bella. She grinned and ran to the rack where I had found the dress. She pulled up an identical dress and ran to the register with it. I hadn't realized she had changed. She threw the dress, her pajamas and Nessie's onto the counter. I sighed. Jacob appeared next to Alice. He gasped.
"Very nice, I got to go." He said while practically running away.
"Jacob!" Nessie screamed in a laugh. She was mad and found it funny all at the same time.
"Can we eat now, I'm starving!" Jacob complained. I laughed and went back into my dressing room and changed back into my clothes. When I walked out Bella greeted me with a gift bag. She pushed it at me.
"Happy birthday, Merry Christmas, Happy Valentine’s day, Happy Anniversary, Happy Easter... etc. ect. ect.... Just take it and be happy. I already know you love it." Bella cooed. I sighed with a laugh.
"Thank you. I'm getting lunch though." I protested.
"Fine, you can pay for Nessie and Jacob, Esme, Alice and I all ready ate." Bella said in compliance. I laughed.
"Fine, I'm sure Jacob will eat enough for the 3 of you." I laughed. Jacob nodded in agreement. Bella's phone started going off.
"Rosalie." She explained "Hi!... no we're in the mall... getting pajamas for Nessie's sleep over party... no for her birthday.... Esme, Alice, Nessie, Jacob and my sister Gianna... we got you something too... no I haven't said anything... yet.... Rose... we're going to have to tell... whatever, tell Jazz I say hi and tell him Alice loves him... oh ... okay... whatever... Ro... whatever... bye." Bella conversed.
"It will be fine Bella, don't worry. Rosalie is just being Rosalie. She was like that with you too, remember, and look where you two are now? Huh? It will be okay. Trust me." Alice said.
"I know and I always trust you Alice." Bella said.
"Lunch! Before I eat somebody!" Jacob begged. I laughed again.
"What?" Nessie asked.
"Keep all little girls in hooded red capes and poor unsuspecting grannies away from him!" I teased.
"Ha-ha! Jake, the big bad wolf!" Alice laughed. "It really suits you Jake!"
"Lunch now Jakey-wolf man!" Nessie teased. He smiled at her and nearly ran to the entrance of Au-dessus de Beauté. We all giggled a bit and walked after him.
By the time we caught up with Jacob, he was already online at Burger King. Nessie and I walked towards him.
"There is my wallet now..." Jacob joked while he motioned towards me. Nessie giggled a little and touched Jacob's arm. He jumped a little.
"Oh! Add a number 3 to that, and whatever she wants’." Jake said.
"I'll have the Chicken Fries, small with a coke." I laughed. The cashier put in mine and Nessie's order. A girl from the back brought 5 wrapped burgers, 2 boxes of chicken nuggets, 7 fries and one package of chicken fries. I went wide eyed. Nessie burst into laughter. I stared at Jacob.
"I didn't eat breakfast... and besides... it's free." Jacob said with a giant grin.
"That will be 57.38, ma'am." The cashier said. My jaw dropped. Jacob grabbed the tray of food and ran into the lot of tables. I handed the cashier 3 $20 bills.
"Keep the change." I said. I tried to pull myself together as I searched for my family. I spotted them and walked towards them. I sat down next to Alice. My jaw was still dropped. Bella laughed. I still didn't know how it was humanly possible for him to have eaten that much. I picked at my lunch while Jacob inhaled his. I don't think he stopped to breathe. Nessie ate slowly.
"I guess we're even?" Bella said with a giggle.
"3 more lunches and we're square... Oh my God! Jacob... no comment." I laughed. Jacob looked up briefly and smiled widely. Nessie shook her head as she laughed. She pushed her food towards Jacob. He inhaled it too.
"Not hungry Ness?" I asked her.
"No, I'll eat later." She said while she stared at Alice.
"Okay, Okay, I'll take you later Nessie." Alice said.
"Take her where?" I asked while I offered Jacob the rest of my French fries. He gladly accepted.
"Our secret pizza place." She explained. I laughed a little. My phone started going off. I dug for it in my bag. I toughed the screen gently to answer it.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey baby! Where are you?" A familiar voice said. It was Dylan.
"Hi! The mall why?" I asked. He was hard to understand. There was a lot of noise in the back ground. He chuckled.
"Turn around G..." He said. Bella laughed. I flung around in my chair. Dylan was standing across the food court with Edward and a tall blonde man. I guessed that he was Jasper because Alice giggled.
"There's my boo." She joked.
"Jasper?" I asked to make sure.
"Yeah." She answered. She motioned for them to come over. They started walking our way. I jumped up to meet Dylan. I jumped into his arms.
"I got you something." Dylan said in rhythm. I giggled.
"What? What?" I asked.
"You can have it later." He chuckled while he put me down. I sighed.
"I got you something too, but I guess you will just have to wait too." I laughed.
"I guess that's fair..." Dylan said.
"Where's Emmett?" I asked Edward.
"We dropped him home to Rosalie." He explained.
"Yeah, we switched for Jasper... Baby, wait to you meet Rita! Black Mercedes. Almost as hot as you." He laughed.
"Rita?" I laughed. "Can't wait to meet her..."
"Damn! This car is sexy!" I yelled when Dylan 'introduced' me to his new 'baby'.
"Her name is Delilah... sexy name for a sexy car," he laughed.
"Then I think you should have named the car after me, don't you?" I giggled.
"Props awarded... that was good. And this car is on the '5th floor' of the 'National Sexy Head Quarters Building' and you, my love, are in the 'top floor Penthouse'.
"So this car is nowhere near as sexy as me? Bravo baby, you are playing your hand well." I laughed. I glanced at my watch. Six o'clock.
It was almost seven by the time we arrived back in Boxford. Dylan pulled over to the curb in front of Carol’s house. My things were sloppily thrown on the front lawn. I reluctantly looked for the handle on the door of the car. I found it and pulled it towards me. Dylan took my shoulder. I turned to look at him. He looked concerned.
"I'll get them." Dylan suggested.
"No," I shook my head, "I want to, it will really hit her if I take them. Besides, I want to."
"Okay. I'll be right here," he said. He leaned over the seat and kissed my forehead.
I dug into my shirt and pulled out my locket. I let it hang visible. I took a deep breath and opened my door again. I got out of 'Delilah' and walked toward the trunk. I pulled it open. I made my way onto Carol's lawn and started grabbing my still unpacked suit cases. Once I was done packing those, I went and grabbed my bedding. I stuffed that in the back seat. I was grabbing my last few wall hangings when Marcie came parading outside. I smiled at Marcie. She looked like she was crying, but she remained silent. Then she broke the sound barrier with a loud scream.
"GIANNA! Please come home! I miss you so so much! It's not the same without you! Please G!" She cried. I sighed.
"I'm not staying Marie, but you can come and visit me at mine and mine and Dylan's house whenever you want. I promise that I will always be down the street." I said in a soft voice to comfort her. Marcie was one of the only reasons that I didn't pick and skip town with Dylan. Bella was the other.
"Okay, I'll try and come!" She said. She seemed happier now.
"Hey, why don't you come over on the 10th. I'm having a party for one of my friends. Why don't you come? It's a slumber party."
"Okay!" she smiled.
"I'll get you at 8 on the 10th." I giggled. Me and Marcie had never been close but it was like now that we have been apart, we knew what we were missing.
Carol came storming out of the house. The was crying heavily. She threw her arms around me and continued to cry. Marcie glared at her. I rudely pushed her off of me. I hear Dylan open his car door. This was where his line was drawn.
"I'm so glad you're here Gianna! I'm so sorry, but I did it for you." Carol cried after I pushed her away.
"Don't ever touch me." I growled through my teeth. Carol stared at me blank faced.
"I'm your mother, who do you think you are?!" she yelled. I grabbed my last few things and started towards Dylan's car. 'I did it for you! I did it for you? Is she on drugs... Ooo I could kill her now!' I thought to myself. I put the last few thing in the trunk and slammed the trunk door down.
"Just where do you think you are going?!" Carol belted.
"Home," I said coldly.
"You ARE home! Who do you think you are?!" she repeated over and over again.
I sat down in the front seat next to Dylan. I rolled down the window. I didn't make eye contact with Carol. She knew how pissed I was. She demanded to know who I thought I was. I finally answered her.
"Gianna... Swan." I jabbed. Carol took a step back and began rambling on about how she wished I was never born and how I'd need her someday and she wouldn't be there for me.
"I never wanted you Gianna! You were a mistake! I should have taken care of you like everyone told me to!" Carol screamed. Dylan gritted his teeth and growled. He leaned over me to look Carol straight in the face.
"Go FUCK yourself Carol!" Dylan growled. Marcie seemed to be enjoying this. She looked at Carol.
"Yeah, screw you mom!" Marcie said loudly, but not in a scream. I smirked. Carol continued to curse my existence. I closed the window and looked at Dylan. He nodded and took off towards the house.
When we got there, Dylan brought my things in. I tried to help but her refused. When HE was finished unloading he joined me on the couch. He took me onto his lap and held me tightly. He breathed into my hair a little.
"Are you okay?" he asked me in a concerned manner.
"I'm fine..." I growled through my teeth. I took a deep prolonged breath to calm myself down. "Can we talk about something else?"
"Sure... what did you get me?" Dylan chuckled. I smirked.
"What did you get me?" I questioned. He smiled widely.
"Hold on, I need to check if I can give it to you yet. I'll be right back." Dylan gently pulled me off of his lap and ran into the kitchen. I heard him dial his phone. It was obnoxiously loud.
"Hey... did you do it... which room?...Sweet... I owe you man! Thanks bye." Dylan conversed. He walked back into the room.
"Who was that?" I asked.
"Edward." Dylan answered. He pulled a black cloth out of his back pocket and handed it to me.
"Humph..." I said as I examined the cloth. I cocked my head to the side. I was confused.
"It's a blind-fold and part one of your present."
"Kinky..." I laughed and put it on. Dylan suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled of off the couch. He picked me up honey-moon style and brought me up the stairs. He set me down on my feet after he walked a few more feet. I smelled something sweet. 'Roses?' I thought to myself. Dylan grabbed my shoulders and led me closer and closer to the aroma. He suddenly pulled the blind-fold off. Our bedroom was dark but lit faintly by a few randomly placed candles. It was very old-time Hollywood. I gasped. Then I began to laugh.
"Are you sure Edward did this? I think Bella may have helped..." I chuckled. Dylan nodded in agreement. I stained my eyes toward the darkness. There was a small letter on our bed. I couldn't read it from the door. I advanced. Dylan followed me closely. He suddenly grabbed my shoulder and spun me around. He pulled me into his arms and kissed me fiercely.
"I've wanted to do this for a long time," Dylan confessed. I stared at him. He obviously didn't mean sleep together, because we'd been 'sexually active' for two years now. So I was really confused. Dylan put me down and let me continue to investigate the room. I walked to the bed and was able to get a closer look at the small card. It had my name written on the front of it in the most beautiful script I'd ever seen. I picked up the note and flipped it open. The two words written inside were large and took me back.
'Will You?'
Such simple words. Why were they causing me to cry? It was because I knew what they meant. I turned to Dylan who was now kneeling to the ground. He had a small box in his hands. I wanted to faint.
"So?" Dylan said softly.
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you, what do you think my answer is?" I cried happily. Dylan stood up and pulled me into his arms. He kissed my forehead gently. The he chuckled.
"I guess you want to see your ring..." He laughed. I nodded and chuckled. He sat me on the edge of our bed and opened the ring box. He took the ring I had been dreaming about my entire life and put it on my finger. I still couldn't believe the ring was mine. It had a very large, cushion cut, square diamond in the center, surrounded by smaller square diamonds. The band was filled if an uncountable number of smaller diamonds that sparkled faintly in the candle light.
"Do you like it?" He asked softly.
"Baby, I've been dreaming about this exact ring since I was a child. It is literally my dream ring... how did you know?" I rambled.
"You described it when you were in Freshman year. I had it made like 2 years ago. It is literally one of a kind." Dylan said. I kissed him as intensely as my body would allow me to. I whispered 'I love you' to him over and over again.
"You really remembered?" I laughed as he put me down.
"Yes. I remember everything you say to me, no matter how dumb it sounds." He said. I kissed him again.
"So where's my pres..." Dylan cut his sentence off when the lights flashed on. I looked over Dylan shoulder to see who was there. I have to admit, my heart was racing. I thought it was Carol. I calmed down when I realized who it was. Bella and Edward were at the door, smiling widely. I laughed. I had thought it was Carol or someone else I didn't want to see. I relaxed when I saw it was Bella.
"I guess you'll have to wait for your present until later baby," I teased. Dylan sighed. I giggled at little and broke from his hug to greet my sister.
"Thanks a heap Edward," Dylan said sarcastically while he shook Edward's hand. Edward crookedly smiled and chuckled.
"Alice will want to plan your wedding. And you should probably let her, because, she is a genius... and she literally won't take no for an answer. She planned Edward's and my wedding, at it was perfect." Bella said. I'd never seen her that giddy. She wasn't the giddy type, but she could have passed for a blonde cheerleader there. She took my hand.
"Yeah Gianna, Alice did do a great job with the wedding. It was absolutely perfect, a sight to be seen. Alice may be my most annoying sister, but she is good at something’s, like party planning. You can bet on her with your wedding." Edward said. He emphasized 'bet on her'. Bella quietly giggled and tried to fight back a smiled. She obviously lost the battle.
"Let me see your ring!!" Bella demanded. She flipped my hand over. She examined the ring from every which angle. She seemed infatuated with it.
"It's beautiful G, really!" She squealed. I smiled.
"Thanks, and tell Alice when you GO that she is welcome to plan my wedding. If she really wants to." I said while smiling. I tried hinting at conspicuously as I could that I wanted Bella and Edward could leave so I could give Dylan his 'gift'. Bella smirked. Edward's eyes widened. I stared at him.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell her. Have a nice night children. "Bella chuckled. I laughed at her. Dylan smiled and looked at his feet.
"Bells, one thing before you go... be my maid of honor?" I asked. Bella smiled and hugged my tighter.
"Of course. "She answered.
"Thanks." I said as I walked back to Dylan.
"Hey Edward, 'bro-2-be'," Dylan joked seriously....
"Yes, I'll be your best man." Edward answered a non-existent question. I smiled. That didn't seem real. So fairy-tale, or tackily written, poor budget movie. I laughed at myself. Bella and Edward left a short while after. I closed the bedroom door and pushed Dylan to the bed.
"Ready for your present?" I asked seductively. Dylan nodded in silence. I walked into the bathroom and grabbed my night dress. I slipped it over my head. 'Use number one' I said to myself. I giggled and tossed my hair a little, making it even bigger! Then I toughed up my make-up.
"Close your eyes." I called through the door. "They close?"
"Yeah," Dylan called. I walked out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom.
"Open..." I told Dylan. I giggled as he opened his eyes.
"My prayers have been answered," Dylan said as he got up from the bed.
"Un-Uh..." I said as I walked to the bed and pushed Dylan down. "Now answer mine."
"Gladly." Dylan said, practically drooling. Such a man. Dylan stood up against my wishes and pulled me into this arms. He fiercely kissed me and practically threw me onto the bed. I laughed as he struggled to get his button down off.
"I'll get you a new one." I said as I grabbed his collar.
"Why?" He asked. I smirked and pulled the two halves of the shirt apart, popping the buttons. "Oh," he laughed. I chuckled and pulled him down on top of me. He kissed me gently, starting at my jaw bone, working down of my cleavage as I fiddled with his belt buckle. We were naked in a matter of seconds after that.
Coiled in each others arms, sometime later, I fell asleep. I dreamt about our wedding and about how beautiful it was going to be. I also kept dreaming about Dylan, different memories we have created over the years, memories we might create, one's I hope we create. It was oddly one of the most peaceful nights of sleep, I'd ever had.
