A/N: Disclaimer I don't own twilight!
Chp.2 Ravenous Chihuahua
BPOV
As I made my way out of the Chicago-O'Hare International Airport, I couldn't help but be exited, I was surprising Rose for her birthday! And I hadn't seen her since Christmas that was for months ago! Rose came to visit Jass three years ago and six months later she is telling me that she is transferring to SAICH University because she missed Emmett, one of Jasper's friends, they met and apparently it was "love" at first sight! I miss her so much! Sure I have my other friends but the two I consider family aren't living in New York anymore.
I was staying at one of our hotels for the next two months, it needed a facelift and I offered to do it, it would just give me more time with Rose and Jass, that part of the surprise neither of them know about. Redecorating isn't usually what I do, I usually supervise, give business ideas, and am in charge of marketing and advertising, I also deal with human resources and Press control.
I was brought out of thought by the shrill of my cellphone
"Hello?"
"Hey!" Jass exclaimed excitedly "I'm here! I just saw the jet land, where are you?" "I'm on my way out!, almost to the door! I'm so excited! I'll see you in a minute" "K" I saw his golden blonde curls as soon as I walked out the door, I squealed and started running towards him! I jumped in his arms wrapping my legs around his waist, I was so happy to see him! I may have seen Rose a few times over the last three years, but I haven't seen Jass in almost four! Of course we speak on the phone at least three times a week but it's not the same. "Your hair's longer" I whispered he just chuckled.
I let go and took a good look at him, gone was the lanky nineteen year old boy he was the last time I saw him, he was built and seemed more rugged, don't get me wrong he had always been handsome, but before he had been like any typical upper east side new York boy, with the preppy clothes and his hair cropped short, and gelled back, now he had an edgier look, suits him. He was looking at me too, "Well I can't say your hairs longer, cause it's the same its always been, but other areas have matured" he joked while signaling my breasts
I just had to laugh " I have missed you so much!" I said hugging him again
"Me too B me too" he smiled sadly
"She has no idea right!?" I said changing the subject onto lighter topics, we were both to blame, I could've come visit sooner but Chicago isn't really my favorite place in the world.
"Nope, none at all" he smiled
"Good! I'm dying to see her!" I exclaimed
He just laughed
"Come on lets go get you settled in"
"Ok"
When We got the "V" in Chicago and up to my sweet, he made some comment about how much clothes I needed for a week, and that knowing me and Rose we would be out shopping by tomorrow morning, I made some sarcastic comment about a girl needing all her necessities, and left it at that, he would get why I had so much with me later. We cached up and started the party early, meaning we got to drinking while we caught up, by the time we made it to "Berney's" we were a bit tipsy, we were laughing about all the stupid dares we had done in highschool, when I heard the shriek, it was annoying, I looked around wondering what happened when I locked Eyes with Rose, I didn't see anybody else, I just ran to my best friend and hugged the hell out of her! She was squealing like there was no tomorrow ,we started jumping up and down like 13 year olds whose crush just told them he liked her, haha, "Oh My God" she squealed, "What are you doing here! I thought you said you couldn't make it!" Rose exclaimed excitedly still jumping up and down…."And ruin the surprise no way! Jass and I have been planning this for far to long for me to tell you I would come when you called a week ago!"
"OH MY GOD! I can't believe you're here!" Rose Squealed again while hugging the me tighter
I just chuckled, by then Jasper had reached us and just looked at us shaking his head, but I knew he was just nostalgic, it used to be like this all the time, the three of us going put with whomever we were dating at the time, sometimes we'd get drunk just because, or we'd do something completely crazy, like swimming naked in the ocean at the Hamptons just because, of course we had been drinking since breakfast, we started with mimosas, by lunch it was beer then margaritas and after that whatever we could find, we aren't alcoholics by any means,That was jyst us celebrating getting rid of Jaspers "stepmom" she wasn't even married to his father but that's what she called herself, actually she once told him he could called her mommy, but we did have our crazy days. Thank god my dad was cool with us drinking, as long as we didn't end up on page six or with alcohol poisoning he was fine with it, of course I had had page six moments, I was followed all the time, due to the fact that both my grandfather, and father were two of the most powerful men in America and Europe, but we never got so bad to end up with alcohol poisoning, some of our other friends though are a completely different story, the had been in with drug overdose, alcohol poisoning, whatever you can think of at least one of them had been in for it. But all of us haven't been together in almost four years, so I could understand the sad smile on his face. Rose spotted him and squealed again and moved over to hug him, and then punched him in the arm! "Why didn't you tell me!" she asked "furiously" by then she was back to hugging my shoulders with one arm "And ruin the surprise, are you crazy, the nutcase your hugging would've killed me!" Jass responded
"Who are you calling a nutcase! You ass! I wasn't the one that spent the night at a looney bin, now was I" I joked "It was a dare! That you made me do! So, NO that does not count!" Jass whined
Rose and I started laughing, but our laughs were drowned by boisterous one, that rang through the bar, It made me realize that we weren't alone, I looked up and locked eyes with the most beautiful, piercing emerald green eyes I had ever seen, "Sup, little one, I'm Emmett, Rosie's boyfriend" he introduced himself with a dimpled smile, that made me unlock eyes with the beautiful stranger.
Hmmmm, this could be fun, Jass saw the sparkled I'm my eye and smirked Rose was too busy drooling over her boyfriend "Oh so you're the giant, she dumped me for" I pouted, Emmett looked taken aback by my words, I had to let him of the look that face didn't look good on him, He needed the dimples, they were adorable, so I just laughed and introduced him" Isabella, Isabella Volturi, but just call me Bella" She smiled
I decided to have a little more fun with Emmet " So Dimps, I can call you Dimps right? what did you do to steal her away from me?" I asked
"I was just my usual charming self" he laughed "why Dimps?"
"Because your dimples are just so adorable!"
"She's a sucker for dimples, she says a baby with them and she just has to go coo over the baby's dimples not the baby itself" Rose explained half making fun of me, I hit the back of her head denied her statement"that's not true!" Jassper chuckled and put his arm around me "sorry babes its completely true" he said I didn't think anything of the nickname, it was one of the many he had for me, this one just stemed from me being the baby of the group
"Babes!" an annoying high pitched voice said, " You just called her babes!" she said as if she was insulted, I turned to Rose with a questioning stare, she just mouthed the word girlfriend at me, and I understood what the pixies dilemma was, his boyfriend just called me babes and she doesn't even know me. Before I could say anything she was screaming at me and calling me a slut and trying to attack me, Jas held her off of me and took her a side while sending an apolegic smile my way.
An awkward silence filled the air
"Hi I'm Edward, Edward Cullen" the beautiful stranger said, and broke the tension that had fallen among us. I composed myself and smiled at Shaking his hand "Bella, Bella Volturi, but you can just call me 007!" I joked
After that Rose wrapped my arm through hers and started pulling me towards the table.
"So, whose the Ravenous Chihuahua" I asked once we reached the table
They all just laughed and Rose answered," That would be Alice, Jasper's girlfriend, she's usually really nice, I don't know what's up with her, she's my closest friend here….she's been behaving really weird latetly"
We ordered a round of drinks and waited for Jasper and the Chihuahua to join us.

"AlLICE! WHAT THE FUCK!?" I whispered yelled
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT THE FUCK, I SHOULD BE ASKING YOU THE THAT! NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!" she exclaimed pistly "YOU JUST" I took a deep breath and started again without yelling "You just attacked my best friend Alice, she didn't do anything and out of nowhere you're calling her a slut and trying to attack her! And it just hasn't been today, you've been acting pretty fucking weird for the past month or so, so I ask again what the fuck!?"
"You called her babes! She is gorgeous, any girl would worry, when we came in you were sitting so close to her it actually seemed like you were going to kiss!" she replied
"Alice, nothing will happen between Bella and I, ok? You have nothing to worry about, she's like my sister, we tried the whole lets be more than just friends thing, and while it was good it was awkward because we were never meant to be anything more than friends." I said
"Yes but you two have history, maybe when you gave it a go, it didn't work out, but what about now, she's gourgeous and tall and -.."
"and my best friend nothing more! Ali I'm in love with you, yes I love Bella and would do anything for her, but its more of a brotherly love, like you and Em, or you and Edward, ok? You have nothing to be worried about, now take a few calming breaths and let me see that gorgeous smile on that beautiful, face of yours" I said as I pulled her back to the table
when we arrived they were all laughing.
"So, where are you staying?" Edward asked
"ummm…I'm stayint at my suit at the "V" " she replied with a bashful smile, she hates that she has a suit in every "V" hotel in the world but that also came in handy when out of nowhere you decide you want to celebrate your 18th birthday in Paris, or any spontaneous vacation…I saw her interacting with my friends, Alice was still being a bitch, she fit right in, I realized then how much I had really missed her over the last few years, she's always been my best friend, I always go to her for advice, she knows things about me that not even Rose knows about.
When I saw her walk out of the private area of the airport I had to do a double take, she had always been beautiful, but now she shinned, she looked amazing, she was all grown up! And I haven't exactly been there for her in the last four years, truth is I met Alice and I knew she was the one for me, I already bought a ring and everything and plan on proposing in the course of the this week, so Bella could be there.
I looked at Bella, and saw she had a smile on her face and a sparkle in her eye, she's flirting I followed her line of sight to Edward, they were sitting next to each other, speaking very closely, I just threw him a warning smile and joined the conversation with the others, Alice was still wallowing in self-pity, I decided to let her, tonight wasn't about her.
"I'll be right back" Edward said
"where you going" I asked
" I need a smoke" he said
"god me too! Its been such a stressful week" Bella said
they stood up and started walking towards the main entrance
"I cannot believe she's smoking again" Rose said
"at least its not constantly, like when Renee left" I said
"Ugh what a slut, you see I wasn't wrong in my assumption of her, she couldn't have been any more subtle about the fact she wants in Edward's pants, careful Rose after she does Ed she might go after Em, I mean she already slept with Jass right, why not all three" Alice commented
wrong move, Rose was like mama bear when it came to Bella! Ever since Renee left, she's been even more over protective of Bella. " I looked her way to see her having a glass of whiskey , and on the table were four others.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?" Rose yelled at her
"Yeah Al, that was a really shitty comment" Emmett scolded
"are you drunk?" I asked appalled Alice didn't drink her dad is an AA and she refused to have one drink ever "and at what time did you have time to order?" I asked
"Maybe while you were of fantasizing 'bout in your own little world" she replied
"You want to know what I was thinking about! I was thinking about how and when to ask you to marry me, so Bella could be here! I don't know why you are so threatened by her, but you better get your act together! So STOP insulting her! She's been threw way more than you ever had to imagine, and would never hit on Emmett, she knows Rose loves him, and would never put her through the pain of your sister sleeping with your boyfriend! Because guess what she's been through that too! I whispered/yelled yet again it wasn't until then that I realized I had let it spill that I was going to ask her to marry me…My eyes
went wide, and I heard Rose and Em gasp
She just blinked up at me and stayed quiet.
"I'm going to take her home, she needs to sleep it off" I said "Tell Bella I'll see her tomorrow, Are you following tradition?" I asked looking at Rose
"I don't see why not!" she smiled "I just might have a quickie with Em first though" she added
I just chuckled, she could never just give a simple answer
Before I left I could see Emmett's worried gaze "call if you need anything man" Emmett said before I was out of earshot.
After making sure that Alice didn't need anything, and wouldn't barf all over my car, I made my way to the drivers side, out of the corner of my eye I saw Edward and Bella laughing, huh now that I think about it they would be perfect for each other, both workaholics, shared the same taste in music, actually they share similar taste in everything….I guess we'll just have to see where that leads
A/N: Sorry for the wait here is the first part to the second chapter

P.S. Alice has her reasons to be acting the way she is : - )
