"Bella, get up!"
I waved my hands around half asleep to try and get rid of whatever was waking me up from my slumber.
"It's too early, go away," I mumbled.
"It's only 8:30, it's not that early. Come on, I want to help get you ready for Seattle!" Leah whined.
"Fine! Just give me five minutes! Go find some clothes or something!" I shouted and pulled the pillow to cover my head.
After an amount of time that must've been way shorter than five minutes, Leah was pulling me out of bed with more strength than I thought a person could hold.
"I found you some clothes. Your wardrobe is lacking, we need to fix that. We'll make Embry come crawling back to you on his knees, not that you want him back," she said and stuck her tongue out at me. "Go ahead and get dressed. I'm going to get the curling iron ready; come to the bathroom when you're done."
I got dressed and actually liked the clothes Leah had picked out. They were much better than what I usually wore, but it was still my style. Unlike Alice, Leah wanted me to feel comfortable.
Once I got to the bathroom, Leah did all sorts of crazy things to my hair and then went to my face.
She only put on minimal amounts of makeup, making comments on how great my natural beauty was.
"I would ask how you even got into my house this morning, but I don't think I want to know," I told her as we ate a quick breakfast of cereal in the kitchen.
"Nah, your dad let me in. He was glad to know that you were getting out of the house, with a girl nonetheless. He's going fishing with Harry and Billy. Charlie told me to tell you to quote, 'have fun and don't worry about his food.' He's eating over at Billy's tonight, since Jake won't be home either."
I rolled my eyes at her and we were off.
Thankfully, Leah's car went much faster than my truck. We arrived in Seattle a little after two and a half hours, and Leah dragged me straight to the mall.
Shopping with Leah was better than anyone else I'd ever been with. She found me a lot of clothes, but didn't pressure me into getting anything, like a certain pixie would.
She seemed to know my style very well for knowing me less than two days. We became fast friends and happened to have more than guys abandoning us in common. Leah was easy to be around, and I found myself making a new best friend.
Well, shopping seemed fun until Leah decided to drag me into Victoria's Secret.
One, it brought back unneeded memories of a certain vampire. I may be getting over the loss of the Cullens, but the thought of the redhead vampire still out there for me gave me the shivers.
Two, I didn't have a boyfriend, nor did I sleep around. I didn't need anything from that store. Victoria didn't keep much a secret.
But nope, Leah dragged me around grabbing panties and bras and anything else that covered less skin than the thing before. Before I even had time to argue, Leah was at the checkout counter buying everything.
"I could've bought my own stuff, ya know?" I told her.
"You could have, but you wouldn't have. So I'm buying it for you. Just buying this stuff will get under Embry's skin, and he'll know you're moving on. It'll make him mad. Even if you're getting trying to get over him, it doesn't hurt to make the man realize what he's missing," she said with a wink in my direction.
She did have a point. Alright, maybe even Victoria's Secret wasn't that bad with Leah.
It was nearing three when we left the mall, and we just went for a small snack on the way home. We were going to pick up some pizzas for us and the boys.
Jake and Quil were spending the night too, except with "Seth." At least that's what they had told their parents. All of the boys were just planning on crashing in on our girl plans.
I was sure the night was going to hold many embarrassing moments, as it always did for me. Especially with their obsession with the game of truth-or-dare.
When we got back to the Rez, it was a little past six. Jake and Quil were both already there, waiting to torture us.
I grabbed my bags from Leah's trunk, including the -shudder- Victoria's Secret bag. I attempted at hiding it behind the others so the guys wouldn't see it, but with pizzas in my other hand, I failed.
"Ooh, what's in the bag Bell-uhhh?" Quil questioned me, with a flirtatious grin.
"Come on, Bells, just show us!" Jake said reaching for it while Seth busted up in laughter.
I ran away from them laughing, with my bags in tow, and set the pizzas down on the table.
After everyone had grabbed a couple slices -a couple meaning half a pizza for the guys- we sat down on the couch.
"Lespaytuthrdur," Jake said in the middle of a mouthful of food.
"Chew and swallow, babe," I told him like he was a five year old.
After he had swallowed, he repeated himself, "I said, let's play truth-or-dare."
Everyone jumped up in excitement, while I groaned. "Guess I knew this was coming," I muttered to myself.
"Aw, come on! It'll be fun," Leah said giving me a teasing pinch on the arm. "But you only get one truth, so you don't wimp out!"
The game progressed and I had more fun than I thought I would. I used my truth the first round. I had to tell them the worst thing I've ever done -which was the motorcycles with Jake, Charlie would flip! Jake was dared to flirt with some nerd at their school, Seth had to smell Jake's feet, Leah drank something that Quil and Seth had concocted blindfolded, Quil had to kiss a girl that lived three houses down.
Harry still hadn't returned home, and Sue was out of town visiting family. I had no way to get out of the question I knew Quil would choose me to ask.
"Bella, truth or dare?" He said, almost on cue, with a smirk.
They knew my answer, my forced answer. "Dare," I groaned.
I figured it couldn't be too bad, could it? The dares so far hadn't seemed horrible.
"I dare you to try something on that was in that bag, and show us. Leah gets to choose what," he said with a wink in Leah's direction.
I sighed. I didn't even know what was in the bag, Leah had gotten it all. Now I was being forced to try it on, and show hormone-filled sixteen year old guys! And I knew Leah would choose the most revealing sexy thing she could find!
"Seriously? No way I can back out?" I asked him giving him puppy dog eyes.
"Nope," he said, popping the p.
Leah went away to her bedroom, and returned moments later.
"I laid it on my bed. I have a robe in their too, but it has to come off when you come out here," she said mischievously.
I walked into her bedroom, moping. I didn't know what I was putting on, but it was black and lacy.
After I had it on, I went to look in the mirror. Geeze! I actually looked good! Sure, it barely covered anything. But I had to say that it fit me well. I tugged on the robe, and walked slowly back to the living room.
"Take it off!" The guys chanted.
Just after I pulled off the robe, the front door opened.
Embry looked at us wide eyed and jaw dropped.
"What's going on in here?" He shouted.
