WARNING: this story will contain adults themes later on.
This was going to be an entry for a contest but it got a bit too long for a one shot so I decided to turn it into a short story and see how it goes.
CHAPTER 1: ENTER.
"No" I answered simply.
Alice had been trying to get me to go on a shopping spree for weeks now and for weeks I have refused but that didn't deterred her in the least.
"Come on Bells, I promise you will have fun" she pleaded, I looked away before I would see her puppy dog face because the moment I caught a glimpse i'm done for.
I turned my head to look at the computer while Alice danced around trying to catch my eye, because Alice too had found out the consequences of her puppy dog face and the consequences usually went in her favour. All I had to do is look at Alice once and she knew as well as me, that I would give in.
"Bella" she whined, normally that would annoy me to no end but Alice has a way of making any noise sound like music notes, a trait that I was extremely jealous of.
I needed a distraction, I would not give in! seeming that my gaze was already on the computer a decided that I might as well check what is happening in the world. When I say world I mean, check the most loved website in the world, which of course was, Edward Cullen's website!
Ok, so i'm not one that usually gets into celebrities and what not but come on its Edward Cullen.
I'm not oblivious, I know that despite the fact that he was only one year older than me I didn't have a chance in hell but I just couldn't stop my self from looking at his picture and reading about his success and watching his movies and tunning into his interviews, ok you get it, i'm obsessed!
I tried to block Alice out as I typed in the familiar web address.
"Bella, just face it. You know i'm going to drag you along, so just give in." Alice whined, she was right, I was going to give in but not straight away anyway.
I was clicking away on the computer.
"Alice, you know that shopping and I don't go well with each other, why don't we just-" usually I hate pop ups but…..
"OH MY GOD!" I interrupted myself and Alice ran over to me.
I stared in shock at the computer.
"Alice, tell me i'm seeing things" I whispered in some sort of a trance. I was looking at the computer screen so intently that the words had become a blur.
"Win a date with Edward Cullen!" she read out loud and I fell off my chair, obviously not on purpose but I was in shock!
I quickly got up and took my seat back behind my desk.
Alice was giggling but I was too busy to notice, I was reading the words over and over again.
WIN A DATE WITH EDWARD CULLEN!
WIN A DATE WITH EDWARD CULLEN!
WIN A DATE WITH EDWARD CULLEN!
"Well, enter it" Alice said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
I looked at her in shock.
"Alice, its Edward Cullen, the chances are ten zillion to one that I will win, so why bother?" I said as I reluctantly closed the screen.
"Bella! Its Edward Cullen! Why not?!" she squealed and I laughed at her.
Hmm why not?
I really did need a little excitement in my life and even though I knew I wouldn't win, it would please Alice and it would make a good story.
I smirked as I opened the screen back up. The words were in bold and were capitalized and were accompanied with a picture of Edward Cullen himself. His bright green eyes standing out against his slightly pale skin, which was odd for someone that lived in Hollywood but i'm not one to talk. He had a perfectly proportioned face, with a strong jaw and full lips and a dazzling smile.
"Win a date with Edward Cullen" I read out loud and Alice was jumping in excitement beside me. I clicked on terms and conditions. Yes I know who does that, but the answer is me and I could tell Alice was getting annoyed but its just who I am and what I do. Cautious Bella.
"Want to win a date with Edward Cullen, most famous and most eligible bachelor known to man?" I read out loud.
"Duh" Alice answered the rhetorical question and I laughed at her.
I continued. "Well a one flight ticket to Hollywood and first class accommodation and not to mention a date with Edward Cullen is just one mouse click away" I read out loud again and Alice sighed in frustration and moved my hand away from the mouse and clicked 'ENTER'.
The screen changed and my happy mood blew up.
"One mouse click and one hundred dollars entry fee" I said glumly as I exited the site.
"What are you doing?" Alice yelled and I turned to her with a dull face.
"Alice, its one hundred dollars, I haven't got that kind of money" I told in an exasperated voice and she rolled her eyes at me.
"Don't be stupid Bella, I'll pay" she told me. I hated when she pays for me.
"No Alice, i'm not going to let you-" she cut me off by holding up a hand.
"Its just for fun Bella and besides I will make you a deal" I didn't like where this was going but I was curious.
"What kind of deal?" I asked cautiously.
"If you win, then you don't have to pay me back but if you lose, then you do" this pixie was driving me crazy! What kind of deal is that! I'm so going to end up paying her back and that's just a waste of money.
I had no chances of winning this competition.
"Alice…" I started to say but she interrupted me.
"Come on Bella, let me have my fun, besides I have a good feeling about this" she said in her chirpy tone and I raised my eyebrows at her and she giggled.
"Beside, if you don't enter i'm going to do it behind your back" I had no doubt that that's exactly what she would do.
"That's illegal" I stated the obvious and she rolled her eyes.
"Since when has that stopped me?" she said dismissively and I let out a sigh of defeat and she started to jump up and down clapping her hands.
"Alice, you know that there isn't even the slightest chance that I win?" again I stated the obvious and she rolled her eyes.
"Oh hush Bella" she said and with a restrained sigh I got up and flopped onto my bed while Alice filled out the details.
"This is insane Alice, you know that I will never win!" I said mostly to myself although I addressed Alice.
I heard Alice sigh "Bella, when was the last time that you did something adventurous?" I had no idea where she was heading with that question but nevertheless I shot to my own defence.
"Alice everyday that i'm with you is adventurous and trust me its not by my own will" I told her and she turned around in the computer chair to look at me.
"Exactly Bella!" she said and I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion.
"I'm not following you" I said in a confused tone and she stood up from the chair with a sigh and came and sat beside me on the bed.
"Bella you are one of the most fantastic people I know but your afraid to put yourself out there. Be a little outrageous for once and go along with me here, something good is going to come out of it" she told me in a soft tone.
"How can something good come out of a competition to win a date with a man that wont even acknowledge my existence after the date is over and plus like I said before the chances of me even-" I was cut off as Alice jumped up from the bed.
"Screw the chances Bella!" she said loudly. She knelt down so she was face to face with me.
"Have a little fun for once" she said almost pleadingly.
I let out a frustrated sigh and rolled my eyes.
I stood up from the bed and Alice watched me curiously. I made my way over to the computer desk and sat down.
"I don't know how I will ever get the money to pay you back" I said in defeat as I confirmed my entry in the stupid competition, a stupid competition that despite my better judgement I was actually excited about.
Alice let out a squeal and bounced over to me give me a hug.
"Oh this is going to be great Bella, your so going to win this" I rolled my eyes at Alices assumption and just hugged her back.
Just be positive, I told myself.
