ok, cut me some slack this is my first story. BPOV= Bella's point of view. EPOV=Edward's point of view.
(I do love Eminem but niether Bella nor Edward seemed like that type)
BPOV
Welcome to housing online! To find a time to move in, click here.
I had signed up for a roommate to live with because I couldn't afford a house on my own. I was at Stanford and got my Bachelors degree, but then I couldn't afford it and so I had three days to move out. Now I had a place to go to, but I didn't know the people living there. They were just moving in too and I had about four hours to start moving in.
My packing was finished and so I started to load up my truck. The drive was three hours so I needed to start driving if I wanted the keys to be handed over to me so I could get first pick on rooms. As I drove, I noticed a man about my age, 23, and I almost caused a car crash; I couldn't take my eyes off of him! Maybe we would run into each other, he seemed to live around where I would.
I pulled up in the drive way and noticed a note on the door:
Hello new roommate! Sorry you couldn't get here first, but we did save you the best bedroom! It's up the stairs and toward the front of the house. We are out going grocery shopping. Hope you like chow-mein. If not we can go back and get something else. -Alice & Rosalie
Alice and Rosalie must be nice if they would go back and buy me a different dinner. I opened the door to find a kitchen diagonally the my back right and stairs to my left. The kitchen had a granite counter, stainless steal fridge, sink, and red wood cabinet and lighter red wood flooring. The rest of the house was carpet. There was a big TV. and a ton of movies along with one big couch and one love seat. I headed upstairs to my room and found that I had a desk, bed, dresser, and closet. First, I emptied everything on my bed and found all my clothes; hung up the pants and shirts in the closet, and folded everything else in the dresser. When my dresser top was covered with jewelry, buttons, two family pictures and makeup, I was almost done.
"Hello? Anyone home? Ouch! Rose, don't shove!" I heard a sing song voice chirp. I opened my door and looked down to see Alice being rushed by Rosalie. They both had three bags of groceries in there hands. I casually went down stairs.
"Hi, I'm Bella. You must be Alice?" I asked taking one of her bags.
"Ya! Oh how nice to finally meet you. This is Rosal-" She was cut off by Rosalie.
"Rose. This is Rose." She said glancing at Alice. I took one of her bags too and she smiled in thanks. Once we sat the bags down on the counter, I extended my hand to them. They took it and she shook. After we finished packing, eating, putting away groceries, and the doing dishes, it was 6:17.
"Who want's to go out?" Rose shouted. We looked at her in astonishment.
"How? I'm too tired!" Alice cried and I nodded in agreement.
"Come on, no one can be too tired to party and drink. Bella?" She looked at me to try to convince Alice. I guess it wouldn't be that bad. Plus I wanted to try to be on their good side.
"Well I guess it wouldn't be that bad as long as none of us go to crazy or leave one another." I said looking at my feet.
EPOV
It had been a week since my arranged online housing and I had learned some thing about Emmet and Jasper:
Emmett was super strong; Jasper was very sensitive
Emmett was the clubbing type; Jasper was a bit shy
We acted as if we were brothers and had known each other our whole lives
It was about 6:08.
"Come on fella's, get your game face on!" Emmet's booming voice came from the hallway.
"Oh no." Jasper didn't have the time to continue.
"No more going out for the week alright? I don't want to be around so many babes unless I'm really in to at least one of them." I wanted an actual relationship unlike Emmet.
" Stop being such a pussy! Let's go!" You couldn't say no because his mind was already made.
"Fine." I grumbled, "Let's make him happy, Jasper."
"All right, let's get this over with."
BPOV
After we were all dressed up and at the club, I got this feeling dull feeling. I knew that all I wanted was a relationship and not just some random guy. We all three went over to the bar but I didn't order anything. I wasn't in the mood to drink.
"Bella, stop moping and tell us what's wrong." Rose said. I didn't want to talk about it but something came over me and so I did.
"Well, I'm just sad because I would much rather have a relationship and not just a bunch of meaningless guys." Why did I tell them? I don't know.
"Oh I went through that same thing. It goes away when you get in a relationship. Trust me, if you put yourself out there, maybe you'll find someone special." Alice suggested as she patted my hand. She was right and so I tried to perk up.
EPOV
Right when those three entered the club, I knew I had to talk to one of them. I could feel it.
"Let's sit here." I suggested. Six open seats all next to each other would be perfect. We sat. They sat next to us. I was sitting next to her. I didn't know her name, but I knew I had to talk to her. I over heard her saying she wanted to be with someone. I couldn't help but smile. She was in the same position I was and she was hot and she had two friends that could keep Emmett and Jasper occupied. I had to try and talk to her.
BPOV
Right after I told the girls what was up, I heard a deep booming voice, "Why?" then a pause, his friend telling him not to shout, "Alright, whatever." Then he stood up and asked Rosalie to dance. A weird song came on, 'Just Loose It' by Eminem. I smiled because this song, if you listen to the lyrics, can make you laugh so hard! I heard a chuckle from the person next to me and…wow…he was amazing. He had bronze hair and green eyes. His voice sounded like velvet.
Just after Rosalie stood, his other friend came over to Alice, took a deep breath, and asked her to dance. When she smiled and stood up, I looked over at the mysterious hot dude. With normal luck, I would have been able to look at him without him knowing. But I didn't have normal luck. With my luck, he turned his head and caught me staring. When he flashed me a crooked smile, my heart skipped a beat. I tried to smile back, but I didn't know if I did.
"Let's not leave you lonely." He said standing. He offered his hand, "Would you like to dance?"
I stuttered a bit, "Ya, sure." I smiled and took his hand as he led me to the dance floor.
(to get the full effect, listen to that song on you tube.)
'Now everyone report to the dance floor, to the dance floor, to the dance floor, now everyone report to the dance floor. Alright Stop….pajama time.'
When he said stop, everyone paused their movement and when he said pajama time, we all started back up again. Out of no where, He pulled me up onto the bar top and I saw Alice, Rosalie, and their dance partners up there too so I continued to dance.
When the song was over, he whispered in my ear if we could go sit down. I said sure and he led me over to the more private areas. We sat down on the couches and he pulled the blind around us.
"So did you know that song?" he asked me.
"Ya why?" I smiled a bit.
"Well it was either that, or your just a really good dancer. But you moved your body perfectly to that beat."
"Ya. I like Eminem, he just went through a lot so he would have something to sing about." I answered hoping that he didn't despise Eminem. I listened to him but he was more of my second choice.
"I know. I like him too." He flashed me another crooked smile. Again, my heart skipped a beat, "I'm Edward." He stated in his perfect voice.
"Bella." I don't know why I smiled again, but I did.
"So did you just move to Portland? I haven't seen you before have I?"
"No I just moved here with my new roommates about," I paused to look at a clock, "seven hours ago."
"That recent?" He raised his perfect eyebrows.
Just then, Alice and Rosalie ripped open the curtain.
"Bella we need to go," Rosalie glanced at Edward and added, "right now." I looked at him and we both stood up. Without even thinking, I grabbed his phone and punched in my number. I heard his chuckle and I smiled. He must have been amused by how urgently I gave him my number. I slipped the blackberry into his pocket.
"Well, maybe we will see each other around town." He said hopefully.
"Bella, now!" Rose shouted getting irritated with me.
I ignored her, "Ya." I slipped him one more smile before being pulled away by my anger filled roommates.
"What was that all about?" I asked Rose.
"I can't really like him, I just can't." She mumbled to herself while Alice started up the car.
"Rose? Why can't you really like who? Edward's friend?" I was confused as usual.
"Ugh! I can't really like him because he is so…so…so perfect for me, I can't have a real relationship, and I definatly can not let him crush me! I'm not just a hot body! I'm not just sex and money! I can have feelings too but I can't have feelings for him!" She was pissed and Alice and I could tell.
"What is it?" I asked.
"She doesn't want to get her heart broken again. Even though he is totally right for her in every way possible." Alice clued me in.
"Let's change the subject. Alice, how was what's his face?" Rosalie was done talking about her problems.
"Well, his name is Jasper, and he's really nice and sweet but he's shy too. I hate to admit it, but he is 110% my type." She mumbled, smiling with a bubbly look to her face. When she snapped out of it, she said, "So I could tell you and um, that guy, were pretty happy." Alice wanted same information.
"He likes Eminem! And he thinks that I moved my body perfectly to the beat. His name is Edward and his voice is like velvet. His smile makes my heart skip a beat." I couldn't believe how much I liked him.
"We are in the same boat. Emmett does that to me too." Rosalie was upset about this spell he had over her.
"Jasper does the same thing to me." Alice was also under the spell.
"The only bad part is…I don't want him to stop. The feeling is so magical." I was dazed. Alice nodded in agreement. Rose just pouted and said she didn't want him to stop either but she doesn't want to get hurt.
Just then, all of our phones got a text message.
I really liked talking to you.
Hope we can see each other soon.
Well, you have to see me again…
-Edward
"Was that from Jasper and Emmett?" I asked them both.
"Ya." Alice said peeking at Rose's text.
I was so happy he had already text me back. But what was this about I had to see him again? Of course I wanted to but I didn't know what he was talking about.
How do you figure I have to?
Bella
"What Bella?" Alice asked with a look on her face like she knew what he had said to me. "Does he have something of yours? Did you leave something with him purposefully? Bella, do you want to be with him?" Alice swarmed me with questions and I chose to only answer the last one.
"I said I wanted a relationship when we first showed up didn't I? And don't call me desperate." I told her stating the obvious. I got another text from Edward.
I didn't really think that part through yet.
Would it be an ok answer if I just said
that I wanted to see you again?
-Edward
I sighed. He wanted to see me again! How? Why? He was perfect and I was far from it.
Yes that would be fine.
Bella
It was now 8:30 and I was getting ready for bed. I hoped that if he really did want to see me soon, his soon would be in the next 14 hours. Then It would be morning and we could hang out. I was interrupted by a Alice and Rosalie shouting.
"Alice! Look what you did!" Rosalie yelled.
"It's not my fault! The popcorn bowl slipped! I didn't mean to-" Alice's chirpy voice was cut off by Rosalie.
"Fine but you have to clean it all up." She stormed upstairs with popcorn in her hair. She didn't know about that part. I slowly inched my way to her room. Away from my room, away from Alice's and to her door.
"Rose? It's Bella. Can I come in?" I tapped on her door. And didn't wait for a response. She was lying on her bed, unknowingly getting popcorn all over it.
"Let me help you." I walked over cautiously afraid she might snap.
"Help me with what? I'm fine."
"The, um, popcorn in your hair." Why did I tell her? I didn't want her to freak out again. It must be that persuasive look she was giving me.
"You know what? I'll do it myself. I need to get to sleep anyway. Goodnight Bella." Where was that coming from? I guess she didn't really like me much.
"Ya goodnight." I gave her a smile and then closed the door. Afraid that Alice might be upset because I went to Rose before her, I went down stairs to help her with the popcorn. She was crouching down with a dust pan and brush in her hand.
"Do you want some help?" I asked stepping on a piece of popcorn and hearing the crunch.
"Thanks Bells. Could you get the other pieces in a pile so I can scoop them up more easily?" I grabbed a broom and got to work. Three hundred pieces of popcorn and a trash bag later, I was in bed. But how could I sleep? How could I think of anything else except Edward? The last thought I had before I started dreaming about him: I hoped that I would see him soon.
