Disclaimer: You know this is my second time writing this and I'm already annoyed….sigh…I don't own twilight…The amazing, wonderful Stephenie Meyer does.
A night of "Fun"
I was lying comfortably in Edwards arms, wishing it would stay like this forever. We were at his house, lying on his couch. I had asked Charlie if I could spend the weekend at the Cullen's. Surprisingly he had agreed, and willingly too. Alice may have had a little part in this, since she was by my side when I asked.
It was Friday afternoon, and school had just ended a couple of hours ago. The clouds were, as always, there. Dark gray, and gloomy; I didn't mind though, as long as Edward was with me.
As we sat there, marveling in our own thoughts, I heard the door open and bang shut two stories down. They must be home.
Edward sighed. "They're home already. I was hoping for a few more hours." He mumbled.
I giggled. Just then we heard Alice yell, well sing more like it, "Edward, Bella, can you come downstairs please. We have something to tell you!"
I looked up at Edward questioningly. He looked back at me and gave me my favorite crooked smile, and shook his head. The mischievous glint in his eyes didn't escape my notice. I glared at him. But before I could say anything, he had me in his arms and we were racing down the stairs.
A second later, literally, we were downstairs, seated on the couch. I glanced around at everyone. Alice was sitting beside Jasper, with a wide smile on her face. Emmett was sitting alone on the chaise with a madman's grin on his face. Jasper was the only one that looked sane, while he was smiling gently at me.
I looked around, but the others weren't in site. "Where are Rosalie, Esme, and Carlisle?"
Alice answered, the suspicious smile still on her face, "Oh Esme and Carlisle are going to be busy tonight."
I blushed and looked down, I heard Edward snigger. I thought I would get used to the fact that even though Esme and Carlisle acted like parents, they still liked their time alone. I decided not to ask them to elaborate. Still looking away I asked, "Then where's Rosalie?"
At this Emmett gave a booming laugh, however it was short lived when Alice shot him a death glare. I muffled my laugh. Even though Alice was small, she could be pretty scary when she wanted to be.
I saw Jasper raise his eyebrows at them, and answer, "She is preoccupied with her shopping at the moment." He said this as politely as he could, but I could still notice the look of amazement in his face. Probably from wondering how anyone could shop as much as Alice and Rosalie did. I wondered the same thing.
"Oh", I answered. "So what did you have to tell us?" I asked looking at Alice. At this she giggled and clapped her hands. I just stared at her, with my mouth slightly open. How that girl could be so energetic all the time…
"Well I had a vision…about us…," she left off there, looking expectantly at Edward. I looked at him too and noticed him quickly shaking his head at her, and raising his eyebrows.
I heard Alice give an exasperated sigh, and I turned back to her. "Well, actually I saw a vision of you and Edward…," she paused. I had never seen her struggle with words before. I wondered what she was so nervous about. I waited impatiently.
"Well…I saw you two dancing….at a club." She said this very slowly, all the while looking anywhere but at me. Everything finally dawned on me. Edwards mischievous face, Emmett's and Alice's happy faces, Jaspers calm look. They were trying to convince me to go with them!
"No! No! No!" I said, shaking my head furiously. "There is no way in this world that you can make me go…clubbing! By all means, you guys go ahead. I won't stop you at all. Just drop me at my house; I'll explain everything to Charlie."
I heard Edward sigh, and looked up at him. He rolled his eyes, "Bella, why would you even think that we would do that. You are going with us, and that's final."
I glared at him; sometimes he could be so infuriating. "Edward, haven't you already learned! You of all people should know that I can't dance! I can barely walk on a stable surface without falling down! You saw me at the prom, are you really going to make me do this again?" It was only after I finished my little speech did I realize that everyone else was still in the room. I blushed furiously, but I wasn't going to back down.
"That was because of your walking cast. You can use both of your legs now. And you've forgotten what I told you. It's all in the leading." He smiled smugly down at me.
I gave him my meanest look. "Well, this type of…dancing…can hardly be simple, even with your leading!" But before he could respond, Alice spoke up.
"Oh Bella, come on! Please." She was suddenly in front of me, looking me straight in the eyes. I couldn't help but soften up a bit. Her eyes were orb-like and persuasive, and she was pouting. I was sure that look would have melted Jasper, and he would have done anything Alice asked at that moment. But I wasn't Jasper.
"I have everything ready. Your outfit, makeup, hair style, everything. Please. I really want to go, and we would never go if it weren't for you." I looked at her, confused. Why did they need me in order for them to go clubbing?
She noticed my look and answered before I could speak. "Bella, you're the only human we know. Now, I know you would never go clubbing if it were left up to you. Just like the prom. We just want you to experience every little, trivial, human thing. Before…" She left of there, after hearing Edward's growl. I looked at Edward, but he was determinedly looking anywhere but me.
I was about to reply when a sudden thought occurred to me. I looked from Edward to Emmett to Alice, and then my eyes came to rest upon Jasper. This had to work, if nothing else. I looked back at Alice, with confident eyes.
"If we go, I think it would be hard for you guys to control your hunger. I mean, from what I've heard, there are a lot of humans…in a very compact space. Don't you think it would be hard to control your thirst, even if you fed yesterday?"
To my surprise, Emmett answered.
"Well, it really won't affect us that much." He said in an overly confident tone. I raised my eyebrow at him, and asked, "How is that Emmett?"
With a smug smile, he answered, "Well, since all or most of the people are dancing, they do get very sweaty. Body odor isn't very…appealing, so it doesn't bother us that much."
I just stared at him with my mouth slightly open, as did everyone else, but they were a little more composed.
Suddenly, Jasper sniggered. "Surprisingly, he does make some sense. I don't think it will bother us."
Alice beamed at him. And then turned to face me again. "So Bella, what do you say?"
I looked warily at her, "Why are you even asking me again Alice? Even if I refuse, you guys will just force me to go. And as you're ten times stronger….I have no chance."
She squealed in delight, and clapped her hands. "Oh Bella, I'm so excited! This is going to be so much fun! Oh! I have to go upstairs!"
She said this all in one breath and was off, a blur of black hair and pale skin, up the stairs. Jasper looked after her, with a dazed look. He slowly got up and started following her. But not before Emmett could get a word in.
"I think she meant she has to go upstairs to get everything ready Jasper. Not what you think." He said with a wild grin. Jasper just scowled at him, and I thought he was going to let it go that time. However, I saw a pillow soar across the room and hit Emmett square in the face, before Jasper was gone. I giggled. Emmett looked surprised, but quickly regained his composure.
"Cheater", he mumbled, looking annoyed. Edward suddenly cleared his throat, and Emmett and I looked at him. He was staring at Emmett with his eyebrows raised. I glanced back at Emmett, and with a frown realized he must be thinking something. Emmett then grinned knowingly, and got up to leave.
"Well," he cleared his throat, "I will see you guys later. Edward, behave." Edward growled at him, causing his laughter to get louder. I turned around to look at Edward.
With a sigh, I said, "I better go get ready. I'm really not looking forward to this little dress-up session with Alice." I shuddered, remembering the prom.
Edward smiled crookedly, making me forget what I was thinking. "It won't be that bad Bella. I'm sure she won't do anything…drastic." I raised my eyebrows. Then a quick thought came to me. I widened my eyes and I pouted.
"Edward," I said in my most alluring voice, "what do you say about us staying together at home. No one will be here. Just you and me."
He actually seemed dazed for a minute, but he shook his head and it was gone. He grinned and said, "No, that won't work this time. You saw how excited Alice was. It'll be great."
Before I could retort, he gave me a quick kiss, and then I was in his arms, cradled against his chest. He raced upstairs, and we were in Alice's room within seconds. Jasper was nowhere in sight. However, I could see Alice in her mansion-like bathroom, flitting around. Edward set me down just inside the door, and turned me toward him.
"I'll see you in a while." He kissed me one more time and was off to do something. I stared after him, already missing him. I turned, unwillingly, towards Alice. She was standing next to a black, leather chair, looking excitedly towards me. "Come on Bella!"
I sighed, and walked towards the chair, and sat down. Before I could make myself comfortable, she was in front of me with shampoo in her hands. "I have to wash your hair first and then I'll work on your make-up." I stared up at her anxiously.
She wheeled me to the sink and told me to lean my head back. I did, and she started wetting my hair. After she was done, she used my favorite strawberry shampoo to wash it. I couldn't help but relax as the smell surrounded me. She quickly finished and rinsed my hair. She went to get a towel, and wrapped my long hair in it.
Then she started on my make-up. First, she put on a moisturizer and then started with the foundation. After she was done, she put on blush and eye shadow. Then she took out black mascara and lightly shaded my eyelashes.
Suddenly, she stopped and took a step back. She analyzed my face with a critical eye, and then her face lit up. She mumbled something quickly and rushed out the door. A second later, she came back with clear lip gloss and put a light shade on my lips.
She pulled the towel from my hair, and got out the hair dryer. Quicker then I have ever done, she dried my hair, and it was straighter, and shinier then I had ever seen it. She got out the curling iron and started curling the bottom of my hair. After what seemed like hours, but was only about 15 minutes, she put everything away and allowed me to stand up.
I sighed with relief. "Can I see myself now Alice?" She shook her head furiously and said with a slight smile, "Not until I'm done with everything!"
"Alice! What else is there to do!" I was getting frustrated now, and I desperately wanted to see Edward.
"Oh relax Bella! You just have to put on your clothes and shoes." She saw me open my mouth, and she quickly said with a roll of her eyes, "And then you can see Edward!"
I smiled, satisfied. But then, it dawned on me. Alice shopping for me without me present was never good! But before I could say anything, she had scooped me up in her arms and raced us to her bedside. On there was a big bag, with a designer name on it, that I couldn't even pronounce, and beside it was a shoe box. I could have sworn I hadn't seen those there when I came in.
"Alice, is that new?"
She smiled, "Of course, silly."
I frowned, "But when did you have time to get it. You didn't come in with a bag or anything for that matter."
"Well," she looked at me from the corner of her eye, "I didn't exactly get it for you…" She left off there and it was driving me crazy. I raised my eyebrows and waited for her to finish. "Well, you know when Jasper said Rosalie was shopping?" I nodded. "She was buying you an outfit." She said this very quickly and waited for my reaction.
All I could do was stare at her, looking completely idiotic. I cleared my throat and started to ask, "But why did Rosalie--'' But Alice interrupted me.
"Bella, you know Rosalie doesn't hate you. She's just having trouble adjusting. She's not the highest fan of change. She likes things as they are, and it bothers her that someone new was added to her family. Just give her time; she will come to accept you."
I listened to her, and could feel the tears filling my eyes. I quickly blinked them away and thanked her. Alice smiled happily, and opened the bag. "I'll leave you to get dressed and I'll go get ready in the closet."
Then she was gone, and I was left with the impending bag. I slowly walked to it and looked inside. I could see what looked like dark blue pants and no shirt. I quickly pulled out the pants and opened it up. I gasped.
It was beautiful! On the back pocket were embroided white and navy blue flowers and in the front were the same flowers but were stitched on the side of the right leg. I looked in the bag again, and found a navy blue top, the same color that Edward loved on me. However, it could hardly be considered the same as the shirt he loved. Before me lay a beautiful satin, sleeveless, halter neck top. I felt the cloth and it was silky soft. The color perfectly matched the embroidery on the jeans. I sighed. What else would I expect after the off-shoulder dress Alice had put me in for prom? I decided to get it over with and quickly took off my clothes. I put on the jeans and the top, and as I looked down at myself, I had to admit it seemed to look pretty good.
I looked back in the bag, and saw another smaller bag inside. I reached in and opened it. Inside was a blue rhinestone bracelet and matching chandelier earrings. They were very beautiful, and looked extremely expensive. I put them on, and looked around for a mirror. But as I predicted, all the mirrors were gone, probably Alice's doing. I reached for the shoebox, and pulled out a strappy, silver, 2 inch heel. I sighed. I hadn't imagined anything better. I carefully put them on and sat down on the bed, waiting for Alice.
In a minute, the closet opened and she walked out. I gaped at her. She looked absolutely gorgeous in a black mini skirt, with a bright pink lace trimmed camisole.
"Oh Bella, you look absolutely amazing!" She squealed. I blushed, and said, "You should see yourself."
She giggled and came up to me. "Do you want to see yourself now?" I nodded vigorously. She smiled and led me to her closet. Inside was a full length mirror.
I stepped up to it and stopped in my tracks. I had to admit, I looked very pretty. The top was very well fitting, and it defined the little curves, and bust that I had. The jeans were, of course, a perfect fit. It fit snugly around my thighs, and flared at the bottom, but the shoes were still visible. The jewelry sparkled in the light, and brought out my makeup, which was very well done. My hair was still long, but the curls made it seem fuller. I turned around and enveloped Alice in a big hug. "Thank you Alice!"
She laughed, and patted my back, "Come on, we better get downstairs. The others are ready, and Edwards getting on my nerves." I raised my eyebrows. "He keeps tapping his foot and I can hear it up here. It's getting very annoying." I giggled. Edward must be as anxious to see me as I am him.
We slowly walked out the door and started down the stairs. I held on the railing for support. The corner came into view, and I could see the light coming from downstairs. I took a deep breath and stepped on the last step, and turned around to look at everyone.
Hehehe, a cliff-hanger! Well sort of :D…Sorry if this chapter was kind of slow. I swear the next one will be more fluff-filled…definitely :D
Curious about what the other look like, and what their reactions will be, especially Edward? Well, review and you will find out. If you have any criticism please don't be afraid to tell me:).
