Chapter 2: Answering Machines and Fashion Shows.
Edward's POV
"Emmett?" Jasper called out as he walked into our dorm.
Emmett, Jasper and I are in college, and share a dorm. We've been best buds since freshmen year, and have been practically inseparable since.
I hung up my jacket.
Jasper came out of Emmett's bedroom.
"He's gone, dam it, I wanted to meet Bella" Jasper went off and sulked on the couch, whilst I went to check messages on the answering machine.
There was…
Wait for it
Wait for it
…
20 MESSAGES!!!
We were out for lunch, less than half an hour, and we had 20 messages.
I pressed play.
"Hey brothers, sorry, but you took to long, Bella and I are off to our play date, I have no clue whether I'll be home tonight or what, but I'll be back tomorrow for sure, I think. Ok, Bella wants to say hi" there was a bit of rustling, then a voice that sounded absolutely wonderful, over the phone. "Hey yall'. Sorry we had to ditch and dash, but hopefully I'll meet you soon enough. Kay, cya, xoxo"
"Dude, she sounds hot" Jasper said from behind me, causing me to jump.
"How can someone sound hot?" I asked, pausing the messages.
"I dunno, she just does, ok? You have to admit, she sounds nice" Jasper asked, turning this onto me.
"I guess" I lied casually. To be honest, she didn't sound nice, she sounded beautiful, and on the phone. The urgency to meet this Bella just kicked up a level.
I pressed play, to continue through the messages.
"Hey Edward" said the horrible voice, now even more retched compared to Bella's, that I could recognise from a mile away.
"It's Lauren. I was wondering what you were doing tonight, or tomorrow night, or whatever night you're free. Maybe we could catch a movie or something. I have my dorm to myself a lot." She said in what I think was meant to be a sexy voice. "Anywayz, call me, love you"
"Oh my bloody God" Jasper said, staring at the machine. "What was that?"
"A message from Lauren" I replied, shrugging.
"Can you spell desperate?"
"D-e-s-p-e-r-a-t-e" I replied, playfully.
After that, Jasper went to sit on the couch, whilst I continued to go through the messages.
The other 18 messages were from Lauren, all within 10 minutes. I agree with Jasper, can you spell desperate.
Then there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it" Jasper screamed getting up of the couch.
I heard the door open.
"Hi, is Edward here?" Alice asked from the door.
"Um… give me a sec" Jasper replied uneasily. I just realised that Jasper had no clue who would be at the door.
"Edward, there's a girl at the door wanting you, um… Do I let her in?" he asked, so uneasy and confused.
Alice being here, in my dorm, to see me. This could only be bad.
Before I could stop myself, I screamed, "NO!!!"
"Edward Anthony Cullen that is no way to treat a lady, no wonder you don't have a girlfriend" Alice screamed at me. She must've pushed past Jasper to get into the dorm, because he came into the kitchen a couple of seconds later.
"Alice, what are you doing?' I asked, still shocked she was here. I mean we talked on the phone, but rarely actually saw each other.
"I am visiting my loving brother, because I am a loving sister" she said in her best innocent voice.
I looked down to her hands, which were filled with bags, I mean filled.
"Oh no Alice, no, No, NO" I built up into a scream before running away from her.
"Edward, suck it up. The clothes will suit you" Alice said in a know it all voice.
"Wait what?" Jasper said, trying to keep up with our conversation. "So, you're his… sister?" Jasper asked.
Alice turned to look at Edward.
"You don't talk about me?" Alice asked in a mock shocked voice. "Alice Cullen, Edward's sister, the one he'd do anything for" She turned and smiled at me.
"No Alice, N. O." I said, trying to be firm.
"Come on Edward, do a little fashion show for your loving sister" Jasper said with a huge smile.
"Oh don't worry, there are clothes in here for you to" Alice said. At this, Jaspers huge smile disappeared, no where to be found.
**********
Half an hour later and more than 50 outfits, Jasper and I were standing in front of Alice, in what she said were our best outfits.
"Oh, you guys look great" Alice said before squealing.
"Jasper, God, you look HOT! You'll have girls falling all over you, not that you need help with that" She said whilst elbowing me.
Jasper just stood there.
'Wait, did Jasper, Jasper Hale, just blush?'
"And Edward…" Alice began, 'Oh God, this is going to be horrible' I thought, silently hoping it wouldn't be to bad, "Well, since you're my brother, I can say much, only, Oh My God Edward, you look great. I should introduce you to my new room mate" Alice said, nudging me.
Alice just stood there and admired us, whilst we stood there awkwardly.
"Ok…" Alice said out of the blue, "I have to go, bye" she said as she kissed me on the cheek, before dancing and kissing Jasper on the cheek also. Again, Jasper blushed.
"I wanna see you guys in those clothes" Alice yelled at us before closing the door.
I turned to look at Jasper.
"Never mention this, again" Jasper said.
"Agreed" was my only reply, before turning and going into my room to change.
