Chapter 4: You won't regret it …
We moved in two days later. Nana and Gramps took the day to show us around the area. Once Angela's check came Nana took us to get some stuff. I ended up buying a bicycle and Angela splurged on some art supplies. Gramps took us to make sure our phones worked. We spend the Sunday before class began at Nanas and Gramps house. We had an early dinner before they sent us home with Damien, Nanas driver/bodyguard, and some leftovers.
Next thing I knew two months had passed by. Saying that Angela was enjoying her classes would be a big understatement. The first week she barely came home at all. But after I found her asleep in the bathroom of all places, I put my foot down.
The first month was the hardest. I spent my Tuesday's in class and the rest of the week working at the company. Don't get me wrong I loved it, but after the first month I was starting to get home sick. But, I was able to talk to Dad and Sue every Tuesday night. By the second month I was settling in nicely. We also had a standing dinner appointment with Nana and Gramps ever Saturday for brunch.
It was Friday and I was waiting for Angela at an Italian restaurant before we were headed to the movies. Angela was twenty minutes late. I had already called and sent a hand-full of messages before I ordered something, I was starving and my stomach wasn't waiting anymore.
I just finished sending her the tenth text message when I finally saw her. Her hat making it easy to spot her.
"I know, I know! I'm sorry I'm late Bells!" Angela gave me a hug and plopped herself in the seat next to me. "But, remember that guy I've told you about?" Angela has gushed about this guy she has for one of her classes and is 'hot in that sexy nerd way'. Her words not mine. "He finally asked me out Bella!" she said, bouncing in her seat.
I smiled, "That's great Angela. But, you could had sent me a text or call." I slightly scolded her throwing a piece of bread at her.
"I know and I'm sorry! But, I lost track of time. I got here as soon as I could Bella." Angela apologized picking the bread out of her shirt.
"That's fine, but next time at least send me a text or something. Now you're gonna order something and let me finish my food and you can tell me all about this guy." I laughed.
Angela's big date was on Friday and I was glad when Thursday finally came. She had been annoyingly happy the past week. She even asked me for advice on what to wear. She was meeting him at a restaurant just in case it didn't go well. I made sure she had her pepper spray, her phone was charged and she had enough cash to grab a cab if she needed to.
"Your worse than my dad Bells." she shook her head. "What are you up to this lovely Friday night?"
"I have a date with my computer." I joked, "I have a paper to finish for Monday. As well as some reports to look over and a report to finish." I said pulling my hair into a loose bun and took out my phone to order some takeout.
"Well don't work too hard." Angela chided.
"I know, I know." I said, "Don't worry about me. Have fun tonight, but not too much fun." I said wagging my brows suggestively.
"Shut up Bells." she smacked me. "I'll see you later." she grabbed her keys and with a wave of her hand she was gone.
Thirty minutes later I was finishing my report when the intercom rang.
"Miss Bella, there's a delivery for you." Harper's voice called.
"Thank You Harper, I'll be down in a second."
I paid the delivery guy and gave a nice tip and had a small chat with Harper before returning to work. I finished with enough time to do some laundry and clean up before crashing.
The weeks that followed were chaotic. Angela brought her new boyfriend, Benjamin or as he preferred Ben, over for dinner. He was nice, funny and obviously cared for Angela. I was happy for them.
It was another Friday. Angela was meeting Ben for dinner and I was enjoying a nice bath.
Angela walked in and sat on the sink. "So what are your plans today Bella? And PLEASE don't say work." she said.
I smiled, "Actually, no. I'm all caught up."
"That's good. How about you come out with me and Ben? And before you answer, no you won't be the third wheel. I'm finally meeting the roommate." she said
"So your finally meeting the elusive roommate? Wait, why do I need to go?" I answered confused. Angela and Ben have been together now a month. I looked at Angela. She was messing with her rings and she only did that when she was nervous.
"Why are you so nervous? Ben worships the ground you walk on." I laughed. Ben was smitten with her.
"It's just... this is a big deal! His roommate is like his best friend; his brother even. They've known each other since they were kids, they grew up together. What if he doesn't like me?" Angela said.
Angela rarely gets nervous. She must really like Ben. "Fine. But I have to be back by ten. I need to catch up on some sleep before going over to brunch tomorrow." I sighed. Now I had to put on clothes that weren't as comfy as my pj's.
"Yay! Now get your ass out of the tub and get dressed. I already laid your clothes out for you. You have twenty minutes." she said handing me a towel. "You won't regret it."
Thirty minutes later we were in a bar and grill. I had refused to put on the skirt and shoes Ang had picket out. I was tired and wanted to be comfortable so I opted to wear jeans and sneakers. Which of course didn't sit well with Ang, but I did my hair and makeup (sorta) so she didn't give me any lip.
We walked in and the place was filling up. Angela spotted Ben and we headed to the booth/table. After Angela and Ben said their hellos', which involved a lot of tongue, they took the booth side.
"Hey Bella." Ben said in his slight accent.
"Hey Ben, how's it hanging?" I laughed.
"Fine." he smiled. "Babe, Bella this is Edward my best friend and roommate." he said.
"It's nice to finally meet you." said Angela. "Ben's told me a lot about you." smiled Ang giving him a hug.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you too. Ben hasn't stopped talking about you." he laughed and turned to me, "I've heard great things." he smiled.
A/N: Okay so I need some help. I'm still relatively new to this writing stuff and I need some help. I have a general outline for all of my stories, but I have come to a stand still. I'm looking for a co-writer on this story because lets be honest we all want some lemony goodness and it seems i'm too green and they aren't coming out right. Anyone interested send me a PM, I would love to hear from you. X) Who am i kidding i love hearing what you all think ... it makes my day :)
