Bella's POV

It was a Tuesday evening, and I had been lounging in my room all day with my laptop comfortably seated on my lap. My fingers worked fiercely over the keys and my eyes stung over the amount of work I had done for this whole day. Eight thousand, five hundred and sixty four words later, I was exhausted.

I took a deep breath, saving my file and shutting the lid to my laptop.

I was exhausted, I had been for the past couple of days but I haven't really been doing anything but sat on my ass writing. But also, I was getting cramping a lot which was a sign of my period starting. My period had been about two days late, so hopefully I would be coming on soon.

"Bells!" Emmett called through the penthouse. I quickly pushed my laptop to the side and crawled off the bed. This better be important.

"Yeah Emmett?"

"Me and Edward have hosted a party for his match this evening. Are you coming?" He asked, popping his head around the door.

"THIS EVENING?! EMMETT THATS NOW!" I exclaimed throwing my arms up on the air. He shrugged and pulled the door wider. There stood was my two best friends that I haven't seen in a long time. They both wore smiles and screamed as they charged towards me.

"ALICE! ROSE!" I cried out as they tackled me down to the bed.

Alice was Edward's younger sister, and though me and Edward were best friends, Alice was just as close. She was the girl I'd run to for fashion advice or the one to do my make up and hair. We went to high school together, and Alice had always tried to set up me and her brother. Well I guess it worked now.

Me and Rose met through Emmett. They had been dating for a long time now, and I was proud to call her my sister in law to be. They weren't engaged, but as time went on I could see Emmett get even more nervous when he was a round her. It's going to happen, trust me.

"Girl! We need to get you ready!" Alice squealed. Ah, typical Alice.

"Really? It's been six months and that's all you say." I laughed, still beneath my two closest friends. Alice giggled and kissed my cheek, climbing off me and pulling out her make up bags.

"Questions come later." She smiled, setting up my desk.

"Just go along with her," Rose chuckled also pulling herself off me.

"You ladies have fun." Emmett said, closing the door behind him. Rose smiled to herself and then joined Alice. Rose opened up a suitcase, and pulled out multiple dresses inside.

"Who said I was going?" I asked, quirking an eyebrow.

"This note that was on the kitchen counter." Rose said, picking the note from her pocket and placing it on the bed.

I reached for the note and opened it. Edward's unusually neat scripture was scribbled on the back of a shopping receipt from last weeks shopping.

There's a party tonight, I need you to assist me. Please? ~Edward

I rolled my eyes at his request, and sighed. What a great best friend I was for doing this for him.

"Okay, give me your best." I said, standing from the bed and giving myself up to the fashion Satan herself. Alice Cullen.

Literally 20 minutes later, in Alice's record timing, I was ready. Hair done, make up done and finally in my dress. The dress was gorgeous, black, and fitted, I just knew Edward would like it. That's if he can keep it on me. . .
