Without further ado. Chapter 2-Prom dresses & I'm sorries
"Edward!" I gasped
I playfully smacked his arm "You scared me I didn't know you were anywhere around"I wiggled around in his arms trying to stand up. For a few seconds I couldn't think of anything else to say. I was to busy replaying the scene in my head. His strong arms around my waist, His wonderful eyes boring into mine, His amazing breathe on my face. He is so perfect. If only.... NO BELLA! You need to stop thinking like that. He is your best friend that is it! That's all it will ever be! Just as I snapped out of my trance.
The front door swung open and the little pixi stepped out.
"Bella!" Alice squealed. "Come on you are already late, what is taking you so long?"
"Sorry Alice. 'Murphy's law' with me remember? "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." I got..caught up at home and then tried running over when I missed a step and fell."
"Are you alright?"
" Yes I'm fine, been through worse."
"Alright well come on we are running late..like they say "So much to do, so little time" Lets go. Lets go. Lets go!"
In that moment I turned to Edward and smiled, whispering a genuine thank you as I started to walk to Alice.
Not even 5 minutes later we were in her Yellow Porsche Headed to Port Angeles. Or so I thought.
I laid my head back and stared at the sky through the back window. I couldn't help but think of Edward. He hasn't been over in awhile and we barely get time together. I think when we get back tonight I'm going to ask him if we can do something tomorrow after school.
"What's up Bells?" Rosalie said pulling me out of my day dreams.
"Nothing just looking up at the sky"
"You're thinking about him aren't you?"
"No...not at all"
" It will be okay Bells. Once he sees you at the prom he will see what he is missing. I promise you he will realize he loves you more than a best friend."
"I could only dream. I'm not good enough for him Rose. I never have been. I sure as hell never will be."
"Yes you are! You are more than good enough for him. He's not quite good enough for you. But you can't help who you fall in love with. Just give him a little more time. He will realize it. If he doesn't, well then I will just beat on him until it finally clicks. maybe he needs a good smack across the head to knock the gears back in place." She said with a huge grin and mischief in her eyes.
That had Alice and I both laughing. About 10 minutes of silence later and we arrived at our destination.
"Where are we Al?" I asked Alice.
" We are at 'Proms and Promises' we will all find great dresses here.
I no more than got through the door, and both girls were shoving me into a large fitting room full of mirrors and throwing dresses at me from the top.
I mentally slapped myself for agreeing to come. I think I'm more desperate than before to get out of going to prom. About fifty some dresses later, I walked out of the dressing room in shock.
"OH. MY! BELLA IT'S PERFECT!" Alice squealed.
"YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!" Rose gasped.
"I can't believe I'm saying this but I LOVE IT! You guys rock. I don't know how but this dress makes me look very pretty! I'm so amazed."
"Very pretty?" Alice stood tapping her toe with her hands on her hips.
"Yes Ali that's what I said." I replied with a smile.
"Bella pretty is no where near good enough. Perfection is closer!"
"Okay Ali. Either way, I love it!" I went back into the dressing room to put my regular clothes back on. I walked out dress in hand and went to sit on the sofa that's place right in the front of the dressing rooms.
"Okay you two find dresses. I'll be right here until you're done.
Four hours after arriving we are finally walking out the door.
"I can't believe its 9pm Alice. I told my parent I would be back by 8."
"It's okay Belles. I called them and I told them I would have you home by 10:30."
"You could have told me that a long time ago ya know."
"Well if you would let me buy you a cell phone, you could have called them."
" Don't start on me Alice. You're lucky I let you pay for my dress."
"Yeah and it only took me four hours to convince you."
" Yeah, so stuff it."
Alice looked at me through the rear view mirror and stuck her tongue out at me. I just sighed. Her and Edward have been on my case for years to buy me a cell phone. I don't see why I really need one. This town is too small for me to need one and usually if I leave I go right next door. Not very hard for anyone to find me or to get a hold of me. Not to mention I hate getting 'gifts'. I always feel like I should give back and I don't have anything to give to people who already have everything.
We arrived back in Forks after 10 so I decided I had enough time to run in and show Esme ( Alice and Edwards mom) my dress. Esme is like a second mother to me. She is so sweet and caring. She would do anything for anyone. I showed her my dress first after Alice reminded me that I didn't have much time before I was expected home.
I took my dress out of the garment bag and Esme instantly gasped. "Bella that is such a pretty dress. You are going to look amazing! You are such a pretty girl and that is the perfect dress for you!"
"Thank you Esme." I said with a grin.
My dress was dark blue shimmery material,and strapless. The top of the dress to my stomach was flat and had amazing silver detail. From the waist down flowed out like a 'princess dress' and bunched up in places that the silver detailed type things pulled it up to create little bunches of fabric all the way around. It was very gorgeous and fit my 'curves' well. Or so Alice said. The shoes Alice picked to go with my dress are very pretty. I tried to warn her I would fall on my face with heels on but she insists I will be okay. They are silver with 3 straps going across my feet and 3 straps going up my legs. The straps are diamond studded and go perfect with my dress. I just pray I don't bounce my face off the ground the second I stand up in them.
Alice was next to show Esme her dress. It was perfect but it was VERY short. It was shiny grey with black and white stripes going up and down. It was very form fitting from the top to the hips and strapless like mine. From the hips to about a foot down her thigh which is where it ended it was ruffled in bunches. It also had a shimmery grey bow on the left hip. The dress is so short it barely covers her bottom. But it is absolutely perfect for her. The shoes she got are grey heels. They strap on around the ankle. The have ruffles in a line going from the middle of her ankle in the front to the middle of her toes. They look absolutely stunning with the dress.
Rose was next to show off her dress. Her dress was simple yet elegant. It was shiny black. Very tight around her body but flared out slightly at the hips. When she walked the dress gave a perfect sway. It has a simple white ribbon around it just above the stomach and tied in a knot to let two pieces of ribbon hang down to her knees. She looked above and beyond perfect in her dress. Tho I don't think there is a time at all she doesn't look perfect. She got a simple white pair of heels that tie around the ankle to match the dress perfectly. The heels had one strap over the top of the foot. It was small circles entwined together with diamonds around the circles. Simple yet gorgeous.
While the girls Showed their dresses off I took off to Edwards room praying he was home. I lightly knocked on his door and heard a faint "come in." I walked in and froze. Edward was laying on his bed in nothing but a pair of boxer briefs. Okay so this wasn't the first time I had ever seen him like this. But it has been many many years. Back when we were young kids. I instantly felt the blush flood my face and I quickly turned around hoping I wasn't to late and he hadn't see it.
"Edward, would you mind putting on a pair of pants" I said while thinking 'before I rip your boxers off.
"Sure Bella sorry I wasn't expecting you." He replied followed by that amazing chuckle of his.
"Okay you can turn around now."
"Thank you. So I don't have much time I just wanted to see if we could get together tomorrow after school for a bit."
"Sure that would be nice. I'm sorry I haven't been around much Bells."
"That's ok Eddie. You have a life you gotta live." I chuckled.
"I know but it makes me feel bad. I mean Bells you're my best friend. I feel like I'm ditching you or something."
"It's fine,really. Don't worry about it. I need to get going tho before my parents send a search party after me."
"Okay I will meet you on my porch tomorrow after school is that okay?"
"Sure, talk to you then."
" Mmkay. Night Belly"
"Night Eddie." I said while turning around to leave.
"Oh hey Bells?"
I spun around. "Yes?"
"Can I see the dress you got for prom?"
"No sir, you cannot." I replied with a smile on my face.
"Aww I really wanted to see it" He replied while trying to 'dazzle' me.
"That won't work Mr. Sorry. Bye!"
"WAIT!" He shouted."
"Yes?"
"Who are you going to prom with?"
"Nobody. I'm flying solo this year as of now."
"Oh." He replied looking down at the ground.
"Sorry Bells. I'd go with you if I could."
"It's okay Edward. You have a girlfriend now. I completely understand." I tried to give my best smile. Meanwhile my heart felt like it was crumbling inside me.
"Yeah I guess so." He relied.
"Night Eddie."
"Night Belly." He replied as I shut his bedroom door.
"Alice, Rose." I called from the stair. They showed up at the bottom of the stairs in seconds.
"I'm headed home. Thanks again for the dress. I will see you two tomorrow at school."
" No prob Bells. Anytime. Have a good night. See ya."
I stepped off the last step and headed for the door. "Bye Esme." I said loud enough without shouting. "Goodnight Bella."
With that I walked out the door and started for home.
I walked in the door and saw Charlie and Renee sitting in the living room watching T.V.
"I'm home"
"Did you have a good time?" My mother asked.
"Not really, But I got a really pretty dress."
"Eeek!" Renee squealed. I swear she acts like a child at times. One of the many things I love about her.
"You gotta let me see Bella."
I took it out of the bag once more to show it off to my mother.
"Bella I think that's the most gorgeous dress I have ever seen! Its going to look amazing on you. It's almost like it was made just for you!"
"Thanks mom I'm glad you like it. I'm really tired I'm gonna head to bed. I will see you in the morning."
"Okay, sweet dreams sweetie."
"You to, Night dad!"
"Night honey." My dad replied.
When I got to my room I grabbed my bag of toiletries and headed back to the bathroom to wash up. I quickly brushed my teeth and washed my face. I finished getting my sweat pants and "Go Spartans" pajama pants on and headed back to my room. Instead of heading to bed I walked over to my couch that has been places right in front of my window looking out for the last 5 years. As I sat down I looked up and saw Edward pacing back and forth in front of his window. He was on the phone and it looked like he was arguing with somebody. He hung up the phone and looked up at me. He walked over to his couch and sat down looking at me through our windows.
I reached down to grab my marker and paper. I quickly wrote down " Is everything alright?" He reached down and grabbed his pad of paper. We have been doing this for as long as we have been able to write. He quickly wrote on it and turned it around. It read "Tired of drama." I wrote on my paper again. "I'm sorry." Then turned it around to show him. He gave me a small smile. I could tell it wasn't a real smile. Right at that second I have no idea what came over me but I bent down to my paper again and started to wright. When I was done I looked up and noticed his curtains were closed. 'Obviously not meant to be' I thought. I held up my paper, in a way happy he wasn't there anymore, It read "I Love You!"
Please review and let me know what you think! :) Will update A.S.A.P but can't promise it will be tomorrow. Sorry for any spelling errors and bad grammar. That was always my weakest subject.. I try to do my best tho.
