B.P.O.V
Yesterday by: THE BEATLES was playing on the radio in the kitchen. Tonight right after dinner I was going to Alice's to get ready for my date with her twin brother and my amazing, considerate boy friend (since sophomore year) Edward. Apparently, he's going to take me somewhere secret and special. He told Alice where but he won't tell me. Then afterwards I would go back to their house for a sleep over with "Alice" even though we all knew I would be sleeping in Edwards room (it's not like were doing anything).
Just thinking of him made my heart melt but it also reminded me of how I didn't know where he was taking me. He only told Alice in the first place to make sure she dressed me in the right attire for the "Secret Destination". It's just really annoying!
The buzzer on the stove dinged, indicating that the roast and carrots for Charlie's dinner was ready. Now I just have to take them out and beet the potatoes with the hand mixer.
"Charlie," I called. "dinners ready."
I could hear him groan as he got up from his lazy-boy. It was basically a never ending routine: make dinner, call him in from watching the game, eat in silence, he would go back in and watch something else on the T.V, do the dishes, take a shower, and finally go to bed. It was pretty boring but a tradition none the less.
He walked in just as I hit the power button on the radio.
"Wow Bells it smells great," he commented.
" Thanks, dad. Now eat up because I have to do the dishes and head over to Alice's. I'm going to eat over there okay?" Secretly I was wondering if I should have asked if he was taking me out for dinner. Just so I knew if I should have eaten at home.
"Okay, but could you pack me some of this for lunch tomorrow? It tastes great." he said after chewing his first bite.
"Alright, will do."
After the dishes were done and the food was put away I headed over to the Cullen's. It was only 5:22 and I was suppose to be there at 6:00 but I knew Alice would probably be ecstatic. It gave her more time to play her favorite game BELLA BARBIE.
As I drove up to the white old fashioned mansion they called a house, I saw Alice sitting on the rap around porch bouncing with anticipation. Her black spiky hair and petite frame had a pixie feel to it. The endless bound of energy emitting from her was almost tangible.
Great , I thought.1and ½ hours of BELLA BARBIE and perky Alice. Don't get me wrong I love Alice to death but she is so full of energy it's exhausting.
"Bellaaaa," She sang in a 1st soprano tone. "WOW you're actually early."
" Yeah," was my smart reply.
"Okay let's get you upstairs so we can get you changed, do your hair, your make-up…." She named off everything on her internal list and drifted off as we approached the top of the stair case.
Once in her room she sat me down at the enormous make-up station in a luxurious chair designed like one you would find in a salon only comfier. She had a blue print for this thing when we were like 12, and finally got it built into her bathroom last year. It contained a 12foot by 4foot mirror with big orbs of light along the perimeter. It also has a counter over stacked with more make-up than any stylist in holly wood. Plus droors underneath stuffed with even more make-up, flat irons, curling irons of all sizes, and all of her hair accessories. It was over the top but when I've asked why she needs so much she replied, "it's essential for you, Rose, and myself to look good." end of story.
Rose is Edward's older brother Emmett's girlfriend. She is Alice's boyfriend Jasper's twin sister. But in the end we're all like family.
Just then Alice started to do my hair. She brushed through all of the tangles and then straitened it. After that she curled it with a large curling iron and pinned it back on both sides. It was really beautiful and sheik. Next was the make-up. I totally zoned out for this one. I hated make-up. Sure I always looked glamorous after Alice put it on but I hated taking the time to take it all off. And before I knew it Alice was taking my hand and leading me over to her walk in closet the size of my room. She pulled out a black zipped up bag which contained a dress. That to my displeasure probably meant heals!
I looked great in them they accentuated and enhanced my otherwise average outer beauty, but sometimes I had a tendency to fall or slip at the wrong moments.
flashback: Alice's 13 b-day party
Alice had dressed me in a beautiful black summer dress with a 3 inch deep purple ribbon under the bust line. The thing came down to my knees and I must say I looked great. She then paired it with 3 inch strap-less black heels(on profile). I was scared but she reassured me I would be fine and that no mishaps would occur.
Soon Edward asked me for a dance (as a friend back then ) and of course I said yes I mean I didn't want to seem rood. As he twirled me around about mid-song my heel somehow slipped out from under me and I fell on my butt hard bringing Edward down with me. Everyone laughed except Edward. The infamous blush instantly stained my cheeks scarlet.
He picked me up right away and took me into a near hallway to see if I was alright but, couldn't ask me with a strait face. Emmett wouldn't let me live that down for weeks.
endofflashback Alice suddenly unzipped the bag to reveal an floor length midnight blue dress (on profile). It was made of satin and crossed in the back forming an x shape. It was the most beautiful dress I had ever seen and being Alice's best friend I had seen my fair share of beautiful dresses.
"Now I'll wait out side while you put it on." Clearly pleased with my awed reaction. I quickly slid into it but had trouble with the zipper.
"Hey Alice," I said coming out. "can you zip me up?"
"Of course." Then she ran back into the closet to the wall of shoes. She came out moments later with a black box, the edges lined with silver. Alice always the tease, opened it slowly… It revealed… always in style black…brand new… STALLETOES!!!
"Alice they're gorgeous but are you serious?! I really don't want to risk tripping. "
"I am and you should be glad they are only 5 ½ inches. Plus you've only tripped 6 times out of the many times I have forced you into them."
"Ya right! Even if it was only 6 times they were done in front of many-"
"Stop your wining and put them on. You have 10 min. until Edward comes back to get you."
I just realized how pretty they were. They tied up neatly around my ankles into an elegant bow. I just couldn't get the idea of falling in them out of my head. I also kept wondering where Edward was taking me. My clues were: dress formal and he was coming back from the place from probably making arrangements. The dress Alice put me in screamed FANCY! This sucked! He knows I like being treated well but, he also knows I don't like him spending large amounts of money on me. I had no idea where we were going. Humph!
Alice got a text. She read it and replied to it quickly. "Okay, I'll position Edward at the end of the stairs and send you a text when you're suppose to come down." Alice informed me.
She walked out leaving me with my thoughts. The 1 topic in my mind is 'HE'S HERE !'
Suddenly my phone vibrated indicating it was time to make my grand entrance.
Deep breaths, I told myself. Just keep breathing.
As soon as my foot hit the second step I saw him. My breath caught and my heart raced. He was dressed in a sexy black suite with a tie that matched my dress perfectly. His hair was as messy and as disheveled as ever. His emerald eyes flaked with gold bore into mine. I felt lost in the depths of them. I immediately reminded myself to breath.
I was finally brought back to reality when he held out his hand. I, of course, took it. The soft warmth made my heart skip a beat. As I felt the inevitable sparks in me that happened when ever we touched I smiled.
"You look… incredible." He complimented.
"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself." He let out a soft chuckle and led me to the door.
