Chapter 3
I was so hung over the next day. And I had to go to school. Who has a party on a Thursday night anyway! I knew as soon as I got onto the bus that something was wrong. Bella, Alice and Emmett couldn't even look me in the eye. Especially Emmett. But Edward could. I swear, his smile literally touched both ears. Freak.
I wish I knew what had happened at the party; by the look on everyone's faces, it couldn't be good. I was so drunk that night… maybe even high. At the time, I didn't even remember GOING to a party, let alone what happened when I got there.
Edward was the first to break the silence- of course. He said, "Don't you owe me $10?" And I looked at him like he was crazy.
"What for?" I genuinely had no idea. God, I'm such and idiot. Edward raised and eyebrow at me and smirked. Cocky Bastard.
"Don't need to play the innocent, babe." Urgh. He continued. " We all know what happened yesterday night. The bet still stands. You owe me $10."
I looked around. I didn't have the energy to deal with this. "Edward, you are lying." I said. I turned to look at the others. " Did any of you actually SEE us doing anything of the sort!"
Bella, Emmett and Alice looked uncomfortable. They all looked at me in that guilty, shifty way. Emmett started "Well, no… not exactly, but…" I interrupted.
"EXACTLY! You didn't see anything! So NOTHING HAPPENED!" God, I should have listened to him, it would have saved me a whole lot of bother.
That moment was really awkward. It was then, that I realized I was still standing up, and the bus was moving. I started to step forward into my chair- where I always sat. But Edward found it upon himself to grab my waist and pull me down into his lap. What was his problem! I tried to get up, but he held me firm. I rolled my eyes. The others raised their eyebrows at one another. Dammit- I guess the least I could do now is try to look graceful.
I felt his hot breath in my ear. It made me REALLY uncomfortable. I felt, more than heard, him whisper " Don't be embarrassed, Rose. You've got some impressive moves…" I could feel myself blushing. What could I stop myself from blushing ! I could have thrown up at the thought of Edward….
I'm not saying he's not good looking- he is. His tousled dirty blonde hair, and his sparkling blue, gray eyes; so perfect, it was almost sickening. But he's a player. And he was SERIOUSLY violating the point of the friend-zone. If we were even friends.
I heard him chuckle against my ear. His lips were scratchy. He could've done with some Vaseline. "Don't get be shy- I was talking about your dance moves." I didn't reply. I closed my eyes, and waited, until I felt his arms unwind from around my waist. I got up as quickly as possible. The bus jerked, and I lunged into my seat. So much for graceful. Alice and Bella got ready to catch me, and I must say, they did a very good job.
Bella didn't waste any time in asking: "OMG! What did Edward say to you just now!" I just looked at Edward. Edward raised one eyebrow at me, as if to say 'What now, bitch?'.
I'd get him back. Lord knows, I'd get him back.
