The dorm room~chapter2

I do not own anything twilight, anything I write isn't meant to cause any offence to anyone and I will try to keep things as close to the facts as I can :D I did notice that my last chapter was rather short and I will be trying to keep my chapters around 7 pages long from now on. Apart from that, hope you enjoy, this is my first story so I would love it if you could leave me a comment? Thanks for reading~TommyZoom


Chapter 2 Epov.

Someone must have muted the T.V because it all went quiet on the other side of the door. I shuffled from one foot to the other nervously and ran my hand through my hair, apparently I got this trait from my father.

I heard footsteps getting closer and closer until what felt like hours later the door swung open to reveal the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

She was medium height at about 5'6, her body was slender and toned and she had amazing legs that went on for miles. I could tell since she was wearing a pair of boxers and an over sized band shirt. She had a pair of batman slippers on her feet and a huge snake wrapped around her neck, a headset and the Xbox pad in her hands seemed to complete her rather strange outfit.

But her attire was not the thing that stuck me the most, what struck me the most was her deep chocolate eyes. They were big and expressive and I found myself getting lost in their depth.

Wow...

When she cleared her throat I realised I had been staring and looked down, the very tips of my ears heating up ever so slightly.

"Hey, I'm Edward Cullen. I'm, uhh, your new room mate?" it came out sounding more like a question then a statement and I risked a glance up at her. Her eyebrow was raised and she was looking at me expectantly. It felt like the same look the blond had given me not 5 minutes earlier.

"You're joking right? Did Emmett put you up to this? God, I'm gonna kill that bastard one day" she has the most beautiful voice...

When my brain caught up to what she was saying I stumbled over my words.

"No, I, uhh, I'm not joking, uh... look." I said, handing her the email with my-or should I say our- dorm room details. Her eyes scanned over the page and her brow furrowed.

"One second," she said with a tight smile. She paced back and forth with her mobile pressed to her ear. "Paul, no, of course there's nothing wrong. Just one quick question... Uhh-huh, yeah, WHY THE FUCK IS EDWARD CULLEN AT MY FUCKING DOOR?" fuck me backwards she is sexy "No, I will NOT calm down."

She was silent for a moment and then continued in a more controlled voice. "Just because there is nothing I can do about it doesn't mean I have to like it," After that she slid the phone shut and sighed. "Well, come on in, room mate"

That's it? 'come on in room mate' wait, why the fuck am I complaining?

I grabbed some bags and hurried in, afraid she might change her mind. The room was rather big compared to some others I had seen on my journey up here. By the time I had spun full circle and taken everything in she had pulled on a pair of purple skinnies and was watching me.

Oh my god she's watching me!

"Uh, so... is it just us two then..." I trailed off, only now realising I didn't know her first name.

"Bella" she supplied for me. "and yes, it is just the two of us, well, unless Paul decided two room mates would me better company for me now Em and Rose are gone" she practically growled out.

Bella. Bell-ahh. Isabella. Beautiful...

Bella tossed the headset she had been wearing on the sofa and walked over to a huge glass case that filled most of the wall. Its content looked like it had been taken right out of the rainforest. She carefully placed the snake down and whispered something I didn't quite catch to it.

"You know staring can be considered rude" she stated without turning to look at me.

I mumbled an apology, embarrassed I had been caught, my shoes now the most interesting thing in the room.

"Look, here's the deal, this is my room, has been for two years and I don't do room mates. But, under the circumstances I think I can work something out for you... okay, stay out of my way, and unless someone talks to you, don't try and be part of the conversation-sorry, it's just how it is-... who are your favourite bands?"

"Linkinpark, muse, greenday, all American rejects" I replied.

"IPod?"

I took my IPod out and threw it too her, she caught it easily, thank god. After flicking threw it she seemed to approve.

"Good, put any music on you want" she stated. "hmmmm, that's your bed," she pointed. "only you are to sleep in it, don't bring anyone here. You wanna fuck someone, you fuck them in their dorm, not ours, got it?"

I felt my cheeks heating up. "I got it" I mumbled.

"apart from that, if you finish something off, add it to the shopping list, and add anything I don't already have that you want, I'll pay for everything."

"I can pa-"

"-don't worry, think of it as me taking a brake from being a bitch about this" she cut me off.

A few hours later we had unpacked all of my bags and were making easy conversation. She told me about Matilda, her pet snake, but when I had asked about Emmett and Jasper she just said I would find out later when I met them. I don't know why but it felt kind of like I would be meeting the parents.

A rather scary thought...

She also mentioned that she hoped for my sake I didn't have to meet Rosalie any time soon. I didn't ask any questions about that; afraid of the answer she would give me.

"hey, you hungry?" Bella broke me out of my musings.

"yeah, actually, did you want to order something in?"

"well, I was going to eat at Jaspers today, a few beers and some pizza, your welcome to join us, if you'd like?"


Bpov.

Okay, it's official. My name is no longer Bella.

It's, Bell-ahh.

I don't think I have ever heard someone say my name like that before Edward did that afternoon.

My goodness it sounds sexy.

When he spoke it sounded like he had just swallowed melted chocolate. His voice was all smooth and velvet.

I wonder if he tastes as delicious as he sounds? Whoa, where did that thought come from? Pull yourself together Swan.

We had unpacked all of his things and Jazz had sent me a single text.

Come round for beer and pizza. Bring the kid~ jazz

He obviously new something about Edward and I'm guessing he wanted to run background checks on him so I had invited Edward to come along and he had accepted.

So that's where we were headed. To Jazz's that is.

Jazz was the only one left on campus now that Em and Rose had finished Uni and moved into a mammoth house about 20 minutes away.

We were all doing 4 year courses. Me and Jazz being the youngest at 20 and Rose and Em were both 23. Now Edward was the youngest I guess, since it was pretty inevitable that he join us. I was younger than him when I got into the 'business'.

Anyway, we were on our way to Jazz's dorm when I heard someone shouting. I looked up to see a small, pixie of a woman bouncing up and down, trying to grab something a boy with blond spiky hair and a baby face was holding just out of her reach. There was another pimply kid laughing at the scene.

I immediately stepped up to her and wrapped my arm around her.

"Is there a problem here?" I asked the boy. "Is he bothering you darlin'?" I directed this at the girl.

She seemed a little confused so I sent her a reassuring smile. Edward flanked her other side and grinned at us. Something seemed to click into place in her head and she caught on to what we were doing.

"no, everything is fine Bella" she winked.

I raised en eyebrow, she had obviously done her homework if she knew who I was.

"Mike was just helping me with me things, weren't you Mike?" she stated, taking control of the situation. He glowered at us.

"Well, we're here now, so, if you don't mind" Edward spoke up, holding his hand out for the bag that baby face was holding.

He dropped the bag into Edwards outstretched hands and mumbled something under his breath to his pimply follower.

"Hey, are you Bella Swan, like, thee Bella Swan?" he asked in awe. I sighed, I was being questioned already, the news that I was back for another year would spread like wildfire.

"The one and only," I said.

"you know, I was banking on meeting you before anyone else, and I was wondering, I'm holding a party, would you be my date, we could always ditch the party and go strait to-" I cut him off right there.

"look, I'm sure you've heard a lot about me, and a lot of it's true, well, at least the part where I could put you in hospital and you would be eating threw a straw for the rest of your life. So unless you want on of us to pay you a nice visit, I'd fucking back off. And if anyone asks'; there with me now," I nodded towards Edward and the pixie. "You got that?"

I wasn't taking any shit this year.

Baby face just stood there, his jaw almost touching the floor. I'm pretty sure he was trying to catch fly's. I stepped up to him and smiled sweetly.

"Fuck off and stay out of my way" I shoved him lightly and he stumbled back before running down the hall. I love being scary, it's so much fun!

"Ooh, that was so good! Thank you so much Bella!" the pixie giggled from my side.

I turned and grinned at them both. "Well, since you seem to know who I am, may I have the privilege of knowing your name?" I asked

She stuck out her hand for me to shake. "Hi, I'm Alice Brandon!" she bounced on the balls of her feet. Wow, a pocket sized ball of energy.

"Hey Alice, it's nice to meet you," I shook her hand. "That's Edward" I pointed.

"Hey Edward!" she trilled.

He just gave her an amused smirk.

"So, since we are here, would you actually like some help? You look like you have a lot to carry" I offered.

"Oh this," she motioned to her bags. "This is just hand luggage, the rest is down in my car"

Me and Edward both gaped at her, eyes wide. She giggled. How could such a small person have so much hand luggage.

"What room are you in? Edward asked.

"Uhhhh... 237" she read from her sheet.

"Jazz's room is 239, we were headed that way anyway. He can help us get the rest of your stuff from your car too, sounds like we are going to need all the hands we can get" I laughed and ruffled her hair. She huffed and grabbed some bags, waiting for me to lead the way.

5 minutes later we had all of her 'hand luggage' in her room and were outside of Jazz's. I fished my keys out of my pocket and unlocked the door

"Jazz" I called out into the room.

He appeared a moment later, looking frustrated. Ahh, the Edward situation, I had forgotten all about it. It just seemed so natural to be around him I didn't notice the difference.

"We need you man, this is Alice" I said, nudging her forward into jaspers line of sight. "She's next door, and she has a hell of a lot of luggage she needs getting from he..." I trailed off. The clock was still ticking so time couldn't be standing still, but Jasper and Alice had yet to take a breath since seeing each other, it appeared for them time really had come to a stand still.

I waved my hand in front of Alice's face, in the fraction of a second their eye contact was broken they seemed to come back to reality and both looked down embarrassed. I glanced at Edward, he seemed to have noticed too as he chuckled quietly and shook his head.

Jasper looked up at me and his eyes were burning, he walked swiftly to Alice's side, took her hand and gently raised it to his lips.

"m'lady" he whispered to her "you were saying Bells?" he said this part louder.

"Luggage, come on, we can do beer and pizza later" I nudged Edward with my shoulder on my way past him and he fell into step with me, leaving Jasper and Alice to walk together.

The weather really did have bed timing since it took the four of us 3 trips to the car and back for Alice's luggage.

It was now 4o'clock and we were all tiered out.

How does such a small person need so much luggage!

Me and Edward were lounging on the couch in Alice's dorm and Alice and Jasper were at opposite sides of the room, throwing each other glances and looking down when the other caught them, it was really quite amusing to watch.

"Jazz, a word?" I motioned for him to follow me out into the corridor. "Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked when we were out of hearing range.

"It's already been done Bells" he sighed. "I just don't know how much I want to involve her in the business, is all"

"I know, I know. It doesn't look like I have much of a choice with Edward living with me. Paul said there was something in his background, his parents, and that he should be part of this, that's the reason he gave for putting him in with me. I didn't ask for anymore info, if he wants to tell me about himself he can, I'm not going rooting. And I don't want you too either" I gave him a stern look.

"Are you sure he can be trusted?" Jasper asked, he brow furrowed.

"Are you really questioning me, Jazz, really?" I asked, my tone full of authority. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that" I apologised quickly, it was extremely unfair for me to do that, we both new I had more grounds of authority than him since I had been living this way of life for literally half of my life now and he had only come to us three years ago, but we were all equal, it just worked better that way.

I put my hand on his shoulder and squeezed once. "Hey, everyone ready for beer and pizza?" I grinned, walking back into the room.

"Hell yeah!" Alice sang as she clapped her hands.

Jazz walked in and went to lean against the counter by Alice. They clasped hands and Alice ducked her head, trying to hide a smile.

N'aww! That's so cute!

I pulled the cordless phone from its stand and searched the phonebook for 'bollywood' it was our favourite local takeout.

'hey, it's Bella, is fatboy there?" I asked. Fatboy new our orders and usually delivered for free too. I waited.

"Hey, fatboy! Our usual and a ..."

"Pepperoni" Edward stage whispered

"Ham and pineapple" Alice giggled

I pulled my face at pepperoni, and finished the order.

When I placed the phone back down Jazz tossed me a beer. We all cracked them open and I raised mine, making a toast.

"To a new year at oxford-"

"New friends" Edward added

"And new possibilities" Jazz said, watching Alice

"To the future!"
