The word for the way Katie did my hair is PERFECTION. Anne fixes my makeup while Katie fetches the dress from the closet. Katie helps me into the dress and heels.
"Wow, you're beautiful." Anne says. "I'm glad my son finally found his imprint."
Katie agrees with Anne before Paul walks in, needing help with his tux. He freezes in his tracks when he sees me fully ready. I twirl the end of my hair and Katie scolds me.
Anne helps Paul with his tie as I take a seat on the bed. Paul escorts me to his moms car, we are borrowing it for this specific event. Paul and I hold hands as we enter the home of vampires. Rosalie hugs me and instantly compliments my hair and steels me from Paul, promising to return me.
Rosalie introduces me to their family from Alaska. Kate and Tanya are the ones who arrived, we don't know where Irina is. She could still be mourning of her lost love, Laurent. Kate and I walk alone and and chat about Alaska.
Kate introduces me to Benjamin, another vampire in the Cullen coven. He takes my hand and looks at the palm.
"Trust me." He whispers.
He starts twirling his finger above my palm and diet begins to swirl around. He begins a small tornado in my hand. Pauls eyes watch in amusement as Benjamin makes the dirt tornado disappear and he returns me my hand.
"Whoa." I gasp.
He smirks. "Nature is my specialty."
I smile widely. "I wanna see more."
"You should pay a visit to Denali, soon." He smiles.
"I will, that's a promise."
His family smiles their approval at me and they go on about the wedding. Benjamin bows and he walks away.
"I so wanna go to Denali." I gasp.
"I'll take you this weekend!" Rosalie insists.
"It's a plan!" I exclaim.
Paul goes to argue but I run off with Rosalie to plan our trip to Denali. Benjamin had joined us.
"I can buy your ticket, Melinda." He flirts easily. "Rosalie here can get her own."
"Oh, don't try in Benji, a wolf imprinted on her." Rosalie scowls.
"That's too bad." He smirks. "I'll still buy the pretty one's ticket."
"I appreciate it." I curtsy.
I sit beside Paul at the ceremony. He is kind of mad I'm going on a trip with Rosalie this weekend. I am not fronting his anger right now; this wedding is beautiful.
Bella looks absolutely beautiful tonight. I smile at her, she smiles back. They reach the priest and the restate the vows. I am in tears at the end. Paul scowls at me emotions and he leaves. Looks like I need another ride.
I'm right. Paul left me at the Cullen's. Rosalie said she'd drive me home after the reception. I find Benjamin again and he brings me to a lake. In a swift movement of his hand, water stands high. I smirk as he has it fall. We walk back and Paul's returned. I go to kiss him and he just shakes his head.
"He has to stop being jealous, Melinda." Benjamin says as Paul speeds away.
I nod and I call Anne. I explain everything to her. She said she will speak with Paul as soon as he makes it home. I hang up and I sit with Benjamin and his family at a table in the center of the room.
Rosalie drives me home after the entire wedding. I walk inside and kick the heels off. Sam approves of my trip with Rosalie. It is good to separate from my everyday life every once in a while.
I go to my room and realize, Rosalie and I are leaving in the morning for Denali. I get out a suitcase and I begin to pack for my trip. Paul walks in and he sees me packing.
"Where are you going?" He asks worriedly.
"I leave for my trip to Denali with Rosalie tomorrow, Paul." I remind him. "Wanna help?"
"No." He shrugs. "I don't even want you going."
I shrug in response and I finish packing a few outfits. Paul kisses my head and he leaves the house. I climb into my bed and I wrap myself in some covers. I close my eyes and I let sleep consume me.
