Better Man (P.L.)

Two.

The morning of August 13th, she sat in Rosalie's bedroom, the blonde vampire doing her hair. She worked on her own makeup, Rosalie smiling slightly.

"Is the mutt coming?"

"Paul isn't a mutt, Rose." Olivia corrected, applying her mascara. "And I'm not sure if he's coming or not. Sam has the pack patrolling to make sure Jacob doesn't act out."

"So, the house is going to surrounded by them?" Olivia nodded, Rosalie rolling her eyes. "Great."

She stepped back, making sure that Olivia's hair was perfectly straightened. Sure enough, it was, every strand sleek and smooth, shiny under the light. Rosalie had done a simple hairstyle, as Olvia's dress was simplistic and they had decided that her makeup would stand out. All Rosalie had done to Olivia's hair was straighten it and part it to the left, leaving it out and over her shoulders.

"Well, I'm gonna see if Alice needs any help with Bella. You get dressed and get downstairs, okay?"

"Okay." Olivia watched as Rosalie exited the room, closing the door behind her. She stood up from the vanity chair, heading to the bed and picking up the garment bag that laid there, unzipping it.

The dress inside was gorgeous, custom made for Olivia by Rosalie. It was a light purple color, the color had picked for the wedding and all the Cullen women were wearing, Rosalie and Alice making sure that Olivia would match them. The dress was made out a silk material, shaped like a slip dress with a coiled neckline. It was long, with a slit on her right leg that hit her upper thigh.

She paired the dress with some strappy silver heels, along with a pair of diamond earrings. Around her neck, she wore a diamond choker that matched her earrings, a small bracelet glittering around her wrist. Her makeup was the most drastic, a purple shimmer on her lid, black eyeshadow outlining it into a wing along with matte lips.

By the time Olivia was dressed and got downstairs, everyone was in the backyard, everyone being the whole Cullen family. They were all laughing and greeting guests, Rosalie and Alice ushering her over.

"The ceremony is starting soon, Liv, so you should go take your seat." Alice told her, Olivia nodding.

"Where is my seat, anyways?"

Rosalie motioned to where Esme stood with Carlisle, the two speaking with two dark-haired vampires that also had golden eyes. "Your seat is next to ours, between Esme and I's. Go, meet Eleazer and Carmen. I'm sure that Esme has already told then about you."

"Okay, tell Bella Good luck for me." With those parting words, Olivia winked at Rosalie and walked away, heading to where Esme and Carlisle were. Esme saw her coming first, opening her arms and pulling Olivia to her side when she was close enough.

"Eleazer, Carmen, this is Olivia, the girl we were telling you about." Carlisle introduced, the male vampire turning to her with a kind smile.

He offered her his hand, Olivia taking it with a grin of her own. "Hello, you are a part of the Denali coven, right?"

"Yes." Carmen hesitated, Olivia chuckling before hugging the vampire. "It's very nice to meet you."

"Alice says we have two minutes to take our seats." Emmett stated, approaching the group.

"And we don't want to upset the little lady today, do we?" Jasper added, placing a hand in Olivia's shoulder.

"No, we surely do not. Alice may look sweet, but she sure can be vicious when she is upset. Come, I'll show you to your seats." Carlisle led Eleazer and Carmen away, Esme squeezing Olivia's hand before going with her husband.

Jasper and Emmett both grinned at Olivia, offering her their arms. She went between the too, taking their arms and allowing them to escort her to her seat in the front.

"Okay, Fred and George. What are you two smiling about?"

"Can't we just be happy for Edward and Bella?" Jasper asked, his free hand going to his chest in mock offense.

"Yeah, I mean, it's a wedding. Everyone is happy at weddings." Emmett added.

Olivia rolled her eyes. "Sure, but knowing you two, you've planned a way to embarrass Edward and Bella without getting Alice mad."

Jasper chuckled. "Good guess, Olivia. Emmett just finished his speech for the reception."

Olivia turned to Emmett, shaking her head. "What are you gonna say about poor Edward?"

Emmett just smirked, the three stopping in front of their seats. "You'll see."

Olivia only took her seat, Emmett going to his. Jasper went to his as well, his seat being a little further down. Olivia could hear Emmett snickering to himself at the thought of the speech, Olivia shoving him as a signal for him to be quiet when Alice arrived, looking smug. Carlisle returned as well, all the vampires beaming when Rosalie began to play.

Everyone stood, turning to the aisle, where Edward was already gliding forward with Esme. Both looked radiant, Edward as handsome as ever and Esme looking like the proud mother she was. Once at the end, they greeted the minister and Esme gave Edward a kiss on the cheek, going to her chair.

The music changed, Olivia shooting Seth a wink when she caught his eye. He smiled back before turning to the house, where Bella and Charlie had emerged.

Bella looked absolutely stunning, her hair and makeup done simply, but beautifully. Her dress was gorgeous and fit her figure well, adding to the Swan girl's beauty. She was clearly nervous, her hand fidgeting with her bouquet and the arm she had in Charlie's tense. Bella didn't relax until she met Edward's gaze, her steps quickening at the sight if her soon to be husband.

Olivia couldn't help but wonder what her own wedding would be like, couldn't help but fantasize about Paul waiting for her at the end of an altar as stunning as the one Alice had curated for Bella and Edward. Her daydream was cut short when Edward grabbed Bella's hand, Charlie heading for his seat.

The minister spoke for the guests to be seated and the ceremony began, Olivia counting down the minutes until the reception.
