Bowing for Love

Chapter 1

"Okay. Stop Rose I'm gonna be late for work."

"Just five more minutes. I promise I'll be done."

"..Ugh. Fine. Make it fast."

I was home trying to get ready for work but Rosalie was doing my hair. I don't even know why.

She acts like she's 5years old and I'm her play doll.

"She's right Rose. She is going to be late" Alice stepped in

Ah. Alice. The mature one in the group. Well besides becoming bankrupt one day from buying way to many clothes. Although she does have the money. I felt something burn my head

"Ow. Okay enough straightening. My hair doesn't even need to be straightened." I pulled my head away before she can burn my head once again with the straightener. I walked over to the key holder, grabbed my keys and walked out the house. Rose and Alice followed behind me.

"What time are you going to be done with work?" Alice asked

"Not until late at night. I gotta help Jake close up the Bowling Alley." I replied

"Tell me again why you work at that place again." Rose said

" Because I need the money."

"Oh. Well if you need money then here." Rose pulled out a twenty and held it out in front of me. But I just stood there staring at her. This was always the routine. She would ask me why I work , I tell her, She hands me money, and I don't take it. Her blue eyes begging me to take the money. Alice just stood there watching us but also checking her nails. Rose gave up so I got into my old lazy truck and closed the door. " One day you're going to regret taking this money. And come crawling back to me saying 'Rosalie please give me money. I'm begging you. I never took the money because I was just to jealous of your beauty'"

"I'm am jealous of your beauty. The world's most famous stylist could dress me and put makeup on me and I still wouldn't look half as good as you and Alice. But that's not the reason I don't take your money." That's another thing about Alice and Rose they're way to beautiful in a way that's not normal. "So can you please stop offering money."

She sighed. "Fine."

"Thank you. Now let's get this show on the road. I'm already late as it is."

"Okay. But Bella" Alice skipped over. "Can you come over for a sleepover tonight, with me and Rose?" she asked.

I thought for a minute "…Fine." I groaned. A huge smile played across Alice's pixie little face.

"Thank youuuu." She sang "I promise, it won't be as bad as you think." She took a step back from the car, so I took the chance while I could, and pulled out of the driveway. On my way to the Bowling Alley I thought about how this sleepover would be any different from the others. Because it wouldn't. But I also felt bad because I always tell her no and then I make up an excuse on why I won't. But I'm happy now because she was happy. And now I have to survive another one of her makeovers. Uhhhh..

As I walked through the doors of the old bowling alley, I spotted an old couple. A man and his wife. She was sitting down on a seat watching, as he bowled a strike. "Whoo-ee!! I still got it in me, honey!" The man yelled with joy. His wife smiled and stood up to give him a hug and a peck on the cheek. I smiled too as I put my things down on the countertop of the front desk. Jake was a couple feet away giving shoes away to a man in a shirt that said "I see dumb people".

I walked behind the counter put on my vest and name tag, then rested my arms on the countertop. I watched the old couple bowl. Wishing one day I would be as happy as them. Not that I hate my life. I have the two most greatest friends mankind could ask for, but I needed more excitement in my life other then working, eating, sleeping, and visiting friends. My life's getting to be such a drag.

…

"What time is it." Jacob asked a couple minutes later

"Hmm?-Oh the time..I don't know. Why don't you just look up at the big clock on the wall next to us." I pointed out. Still watching the old couple

"Oh I forgot. Thanks." He said staring at me… "Their name's Leo and Georgia"

"Huh..Who is?"

"Them."-he pointed at the couple-"You're staring at them. They're good friends with us. They come here a lot."

"How come I've never seen them then?" I asked

He shrugged his shoulders. "They come when you're usually off, I guess." He started whipping the counters with a wet rag. "My dad said when he was my age and worked here, he would see Leo and Georgia a lot." He started cleaning the counter more and put away some pencils in cups "..So anyway..You thirsty?"

"Yea sorta. Mind getting me a cup of coffee?" I asked

"Sure. Hold on." He said. I looked back at him as he walked away. He wasn't looking so I took out my phone and started texting Alice.

I typed in, is it okay if I come at 10pm. That's when I'm done.

And in a matter of minutes she wrote back, yea take your time..no actually don't take your time I need you here as soon as possible.

I rolled my eyes. Typical Alice for you. I wrote back, Okay th-

"What are you doing?" I heard a loud voice question. I looked up and there was Jacob with two coffee cups in his hands. That was fast.

"Uhhhh-mmm-hhh..nothing." I said scrambling to put my phone in my pocket. "Just whipping the counters." I said beginning to do as I said.

"Nooo. Then what's in your pocket."

"What pocket-I have no pocket-there's nothing in it." I stammered. He looked at my pocket. "Oh come on Jake. It's just a phone doing no harm."

"Yea. Until you get fired."

"For this little thing." I took my phone out and held it up. "I don't think so."

"Well I don't really know. But if you can. You have to stop. Here." He said, handing me my coffee.

"Thanks."I took the coffee and started drinking it. I looked over to the door as 3 guys walked in. And right then and there it was like the earth stopped moving. One of them had dirty blond hair, thin, and a mysterious/in pain look; the other one had dark hair, and very bulky, looking around the bowling alley like a little child entering a toy store with a big grin on his face; and the next one caught my attention most, bronze hair, fit, and the greenest eyes I've ever seen.

I still had my coffee up to my mouth as they came over to me.

"Hi." He said. And with just that single word my whole body went all jelloid, and I dropped my coffee cup everywhere. But the worst part is that most of it went down my shirt.

"Ow-ow-ow-ow, shit… Umm..hi. Can you give me a sec?" I tried looking for a paper towel or something I could wipe myself with. Then Jacob came in the room.

He looked down at my shirt and started cracking up. "Oh my God.-What did-you do now?"

"Really? Honestly, I don't know. I think I might've spilled something all down my shirt. I couldn't figure it out but I do know that my chest feels like it's burning majorly and is on fire. What do you think?" I asked sarcastically. I said it all while I was looking for a paper towel, because I couldn't bother stopping to tell him.

After he stopped laughing he began talking. He walked past me."Need me to take care of the custom-"

"NO."I yelled "I-i-i-mean, no thank you. I got 'em."

He stared at me for a while."Okay then." And then he left. What seemed to be a century later I finally found a wipe, so after I was done I asked.

"Three people?"well duhh..obviously its three people Bella. pull it together. But wait. What if some girls are meeting up with them. They can't be this good looking and not have a girlfriend. What if he had two girlfriends. That's possible right? What if-what if-

"Yea. Just the three of us. Two sizes of 13 and a 14." He said. When he said 14 the big muscle man saw the question on my face.

"The 14's for me." He said with a proud smile.

"Okay." I said handing them their shoes. Thankfully this bowling alley doesn't take the customers shoes. "You guys have lane number..um..14." The big guy smiled again as if it were to be his lucky number.

"Thank you. And I'm Edward," He looked at my name tag, that was covered in coffee, and it made it seem like he was looking at my boobs. "Bella." Then he smiled and left

I watched the three boys as long as possible. I even stayed after my job was done because Jake said I didn't have to help close the place. But finally an hour later they were done bowling and headed out the door. They didn't spot me which was good.. I think.. I didn't want them to think I was stalking

"What are you still doing here?" I spun around way to fast and was about nose-to-nose with Jacob. i breathed in a gasp.

"oh my goodness Jacob Black don't you ever scare me like that again." I took a step back.

"Oh sorry..but what are you still doing here? I told you to leave an hour in a half ago."Jake said.

"Yea I know. I ..waaas-uhh..just," I looked around thinking of what to say, because I couldn't have Jake know I was watching those boys even though its already obvious "checking out how many people we get after dark. I answered.

"Yea right. I saw you watching Masen. Most girls do, that's why the guys envy him. But don't worry Bella. If he ever hurts you i-"

"-you would do nothing about it. Riight. And besides Jacob..I don't even know the guy besides the fact that he's a size 13 and his name is Edward-"

"Size 13. You do mean in shoes right?" I pushed him a little, but my little effort didn't budge him bit.

"Ha ha. Very funny. Now I gotta go. If I don't leave now, Alice will try to kill me, literally."

I gave him a hug then left. On my way to the car I saw a silver Volvo with three heads in it..one guy I knew as Edward Masen.

Ounce I got in my truck I started it then drove to Alice's house.
