BPOV
I was sitting on the shotgun seat holding on for dear life while Rosalie sped up through the highway towards our new home for the next four years, U.W. and singing "right round" by Flo-rida. Rosalie is my step-sister since we were 14, but for what matters she is my only and true sister. We are extremely close, so when I got the scholarship for U.W. she decided to go with me. Ever since her dad, Phil, and my mom Renee married 4 years ago, we've been pretty much inseparable. We understand each other, my dad- Charlie- died six years ago in a job-related accident, he used to be chief police back in Phoenix, so I assume it was a gunshot or something, mom never told me much. And Rosalie's mom died when she was four, but her parents had divorced when she was two and she lived with her dad, so she doesn't remember her much, I guess that's good- for her.
Both our parents are filthy rich, so I didn't get the point in making this a road trip instead of just flying here, but Rosalie is dead-scared of plains and she said it would be a fun, bonding experience- as if we would need more bonding. But she was right as always, it has taken us about five days- just because we absolutely HAD to stop at every single mall to shop- I' m surprised there is still room in her M3, but apparently every item bought was absolutely necessary, and in the end I love her, with her flaws included, and I'm a sucker for her puppy eyes, so I let her have her way.
So there I was, at about half an hour till we arrive, and going at what I assume is at LEAST 150 mph –but I'm too much of a chicken to actually check- listening to my lovely sister talking about who-knows-what, when THE topic came up- my boyfriend. I had the most amazing boyfriend back home- Tyler.
We had been together for two years until I had to come here and he stayed in Phoenix. He had been my first kiss, first boyfriend, even the first and only guy I've ever been with, he was so special for me, but we decided a long-distance relationship was too complicated, and would be even harder to break up over the phone, so we ended it a couple days before I left. I was devastated, and Rosalie knew it was a hard subject for me to talk about, so I couldn't figure why the fuck she would bring him up.
The only thing I actually heard was Rosalie saying his name, and when I turned my head around to glare at her for even mentioning him I realized she had my cell phone in her hand, it was ringing to The Veronicas and the caller ID said "Love".
I picked up quickly and answered…
-"Hi babe!"
-"Hi princess! How are you?"
-"I'm okay, much better now that you called, how about you?"
-"Much better now that I called you, hahahaha! Hey! I was thinking… since I don't start class for a week, how about I go and visit you for a couple of days? Would it be okay?... I mean I know we broke-up so if it would be too hard for you…l…I understand…"
-"No! Nonsense! I would love to see you! When are you coming?"
-"Well I'm actually at the airport, so if I leave now I could be there in a couple of hours…that okay?"
-"Yes! Of course! See you later babe! I love you!"
-"I love you too love, bye!"
"So… what did he say?" Rosalie asked me in a cautious voice, she knew how sensitive I'm about this… "Umm… he said he is coming to visit for a couple of days before classes begin…" I answered in a sad voice, "that's great! But wait, why aren't you exited…?". I actually didn't know why I wasn't exited, I mean the love of my life was visiting me, I was going to see him again, I guess is just that I know after those few days it would be over again, and I was already healing, so it feels like I'm reopening the wound, "I don't know I guess I'm just thinking of how hard it's going to be to say goodbye once again…". We stayed silent for the rest of the ride, which was like 10 minutes.
Our dorm was more than acceptable, and I know once Rosalie and I get our hands on it, it is going to be gorgeous. It had a dining room/ living room and a small kitchen, on each opposite sides of the room there was a door, Rosalie decided she wanted the one that was next to the living room, so I took the one next to the kitchen, I didn't care.
Both rooms were equally big with a private bathroom and walking closet- a gigantic walking closet. I gave Rosalie permission to decorate the whole apartment-my room included, with the sole condition that I have veto power over everything, if I don't like it, it is gone. With this new power, Rosalie decided we needed to go shopping for the essentials that were missing.
"Rosalie, how is this essential exactly?" I asked her holding up some scanty piece of lace she liked to call lingerie, it was supposed to be a bra and panty set, all I saw was a couple of lace pieces, that would not cover a hand if needed. She insisted that we absolutely needed to buy at Victoria's, I just didn't get it, I mean I don't even have a boyfriend anymore… she just insisted.
"Because Bella, I know you are single now, but you won't be for long, you are an amazing girl, you'll see, you'll have a boyfriend in no time, and for that you need new sexy underwear! Now, let's go, try that on so I can take you to get a mani-pedi."
RPOV
I know Bella has being going through a rough patch since she broke up with Tyler, but I need her to bounce back, and like my nanny used to tell me whenever I broke up "un clavo saca otro clavo" which basically means that to forget a man, you get another man, I has worked so far for me, I mean I've never had a lasting relation like the one between Bella an Tyler, but I've had my fair share of guys.
I still remember the day Bella introduced Tyler to our parents, it has horrible and I got into a huge fight with my dad. He has always been a racist son-of-a-bitch, and I hate profoundly that about him, we always fight about that, I stay pissed for a week, and after five minutes of the fight he is begging for forgiveness, which I of course- no matter how much I love him- don't grant. I think any kind of discrimination is unacceptable, so when he saw Tyler and began yelling at Bella saying how appalling it was that she would even think about being with a black guy, all hell broke loose.
I couldn't believe he would say that in front of him, especially since Bella was scared as hell for his reaction. Tyler was the new guy in school, a dark piece of eye-candy, and not only that, he was a straight A student and had a charming personality, all and all, PERFECT. All the girls in school-me included- would flirt our asses off, all except for Bella, and of course she was the one he noticed, I was so jealous, but happy for her.
They were perfect for each other, but it had ended and she needed to get over it. "Because Bella, I know you are single now, but you won't be for long, you are an amazing girl, you'll see, you'll have a boyfriend in no time, and for that you need new sexy underwear! Now, let's go, try that on so I can take you to get a mani-pedi."
We had agreed that since I had gotten my manicure and pedicure a week ago, that she would get one now while I go and drop off everything we bought, and then I'll pick her up.
She looked amazing-as always- in that deep blue bra and panty set, it was all lace and had one dark blue ribbon tying together in the front the bra (it was purely decorative) and two ribbons alike on each side of the panty, it was gorgeous, and she looked astonishing. "See? A perfect fit. Now go on and change back! I can't wait till we are back so I can begin decorating!" I said clapping my hands together and bouncing a bit in lace, it was just something I did when excitement over-powered me.
I was going back to the car to drop off all our shopping-which let me tell you did not constitute of a small amount of bags- when I saw him. He was a big, burly, sweet piece of ass. He was bent over the hood of his jeep and he seemed to be having trouble fixing it. His ragged jeans were stained with oil all over and so seemed to be his brown t-shirt. His short, curly brown hair was a mess, which now I saw was because he was pulling at it in frustration. I went and left our bags at my BMW, and turned his way. My dad being a car collector an aficionado taught me everything there is to know about cars and fixing them, this was a '94 Wrangler jeep - a piece of cake.
"Hey! Nice ride! What's wrong with it?" I said to him while I approached him. He turned around probably surprised by my voice, and stayed equally if not more shocked as he eyed me up and down from my leopard-print Prada stilettos, up to my extremely short white shorts, to my V-neck hot pink tank top with a thick black belt around my waist, and finally to my loose, natural blond hair hanging in defined curls to mi waist. Finally I locked my turquoise eyes with his beautiful honey-colored ones. "Umm…. I-I-I don't kn-know… there is some-something leaking" He stuttered, how cute! I love to make men nervous, I feel powerful. I walked closer and spotted the damage immediately- the antifreeze was leaking from the bottom of the engine. "Look, see here? The antifreeze is leaking; it's coming from the water pump weep hole. You need to change the water pump. You'll need to take it to a mechanic." I told him with certainty, there was a 99% chance I was right.
"Umm… thanks, but how do you know what's wrong with it?, I've been here over an hour and you just looked at it, and I mean, no offense, but you don't seem the kind that would know cars…" he said while looking to the floor, he looked so embarrassed that a girl- especially a girl like me- could know more about cars than him, he was in total denial. I started giggling a bit, I just couldn't help it, his face was just contorted in between frustration, admiration, denial and confusion, and it was hilarious!
"My dad collects cars and he taught me everything there is to know about how to build and fix cars… yours is quite simple, no mean to offense… plus the leak is like right there, it was quite obvious…" I said pointing to the leak. "Look if you want we can take your car to the mechanic and then I can give you a ride to wherever you are going… how does that sound?... I'm Rosalie by the way…" I said smiling and extending my hand for him to shake.
"Uhh… Emmet… and sure, if it isn't too much of a burden for you…" he said shaking my hand and looking shocked, but smiling. "No, not at all, actually I would fix it myself but I don't have a water pump replacement hahaha!" He laughed along with me and got up in his car. "Okay do you know a mechanic near here? I'm kinda new so I don't know my surroundings yet…" I asked him. "Yeah! Follow me" he said back with a grin, probably happy that there was at least one thing he knew that I didn't.
"Soooo….?" I asked him as he got in my car. He sighed "You were right…" he said rolling his eyes; I know it's childish, but I just love to hear I'm right. "Nice car by the way- a chick's car, but still… nice!" He said looking around while I started the engine and sped up. "So… where to?" I asked him so he could give me the directions to his place, or wherever he was heading before his car broke down. "Huh?... Oh yeah, umm… to U.W…. do you know how to get there?"He said shaking hs head to clear his mind, I had totally caught him staring at me, but he reacted quickly and answered. "Yeah! Actually I go there now! I mean me and my sister…" I was so exited this guy-Emmet- was going to the same university as me, he was really cute and I totally caught his attention.
"Really?! You go to U.W. too?" he said way too shocked. "I mean it great! But you just don't look like you're from around…" He backed up once he saw my expression. "Well maybe it's because I'm not from around… actually I'm from Phoenix, I'm here because my sis got a scholarship there and we are sort of never apart…so here we are…" I told him, I don't know what was it about him that made me trust him, I mean I would have never got a stranger, especially one that size into my car, but I did, and now I was telling him my life.
We talked like that until we arrived. When I asked him what building he was staying at, he happened to be in the one next to mine, so I parked in mine and he could walk to his. After I got out I went to the trunk and popped it open, inside was half the bags, the rest was in the back seat.
"Man! You like shopping!" I hadn't realized he was standing behind me, and since he had a booming voice I jumped. "Holy crap! You scared the shit outta me!" I said grabbing my chest for my heart to steady. "I'm sorry, but I saw the bags in the back seat and when you went to open the trunk I assumed you were going to need help." He said in a rush trying to reassure me. "Yeah okay, it's just that I scare really easy and you are loud man."After he helped me get everything back to my place we said or goodbyes and I went to pick Bella up to the beauty salon.
"Bella! You won't believe what just happened to me! I met the cutest guy EVER! And I took him to the mechanic because his car broke down… and…and he asked me out! He goes to U.W. too! Can you believe it?... Bella?... Bella!" I knew that face far too well, she was not listening to me… I hate when she does that! I end up yelling at her and she ends up apologizing and of course I can't resist her puppy eyes. She says she can't resist mine either but she doesn't know that I copied hers.
"Huh? Oh yeah, uh huh…" Like I was letting her get away with it. "Really Bella? You'll let me paint your bedroom hot pink and lilac?" I knew how much she hated those colors, but if she wasn't listening to me, then I'll play hard. "What?! No! Rose I hate those colors!" Ha! I knew it. "But, then why would you say 'uh huh'? were you not listening to me?" I said with mock horror, she smacked my arm soft, but still and I started laughing along with her. "I'm sorry I was just thinking about Tyler, I don't know what the best solution to this is, if I should see him and make the best of it or leave it alone to keep healing." She sighed. "What do you think I should do?" I honestly didn't know what to say. "Honey I think is best for you to keep healing, and I think that telling him you love him and kissing him will just give you false hope. Listen why don't you see him today and tell him it's over and that you'd rather not see him in order to heal?" I said with compassion, I know it must not be easy to go through what she's going through. "Yeah that sound right, thanks Rose you always know what to do, I love you" she said and pecked my cheek.
"So what were you telling me before I didn't pay attention?" She asked laughing a bit, I laughed too. "I was telling you I met this guy, his name is Emmet and he asked me out, he goes to U.W. too. He is a merchandising major, and he is 19 so he's only a year older than us. He said he and his friends were going for pizza tonight since obviously everyone is starving and no one wants to cook the first day, and he said we could come along. I told we'll meet them there at 7 is that okay?" I asked nervously while I checked the clock, it was 5:23pm. Maybe she wouldn't want to go out since Tyler was arriving today. "Actually that sounds amazing; I think I'll talk really fast to Tyler-cause honestly I don't think I can take another long talk- and then I'll need to eat something and go to a bar… I think I'll need to drink tonight… you game?" "That sound like the Bella I know and love… of course! We are so getting drunk tonight! Yay!"
A.N/ So… did it suck or was it decent? Please bear in mind English is my second language so it's kinda hard for me ok? Love you guys! And please review! Make happy or just cut to the chase and tell I suck and to stop writing… thanks ;D --Emma
