BACK ! :) Summer is too crazy, even more than school :/ which is why I won't be updating much at all, but whenever I get a free moment, I WILL! I PROMISE :)I know exactly where this story is going, but I'm having a hard time getting it there :/ Ideas are helpful and welcome;)?
PLEASE read and REVIEW! They mean so much to me, even if its mean, haha :)
The next few days passed uneventfully. However, Bella was getting slightly annoyed at the lack of alone time she got to spend with Edward. Ever since the fight, and reconciliation, it had seemed almost like Alice was doing everything she could to keep them apart.
It was ridiculous of course. Alice was trying to get them together, not push them farther apart...right?
Little did Bella know, that it was all part of Alice's maniacal, multi-step plan.
"So," Emmett questioned his sister warily, "You making sure they aren't alone together is supposed to help them fall in love?"
"Yes." she replied, sure of herself.
"Explain how this works again...?"
Alice sighed at her brothers 'ignorance', "Oh Emmett,'' she pulled out three thick binders stuffed with papers, "Didn't you read my notes?"
Emmett's eyes widened, "What are those?"
"Shhh, they'll here you!"
"Alice, you're insane. What is that?"
"Well," she sighed again, "They're just notes on everything we'll ever need to know to hook up Edward and Bella. I've been collecting these for the past..three years or so. I have detailed notes on all of the great romantic comedies, a specific outline showing all parts to the 'plan', and graphic organizers and annotated lyrics depicting hundreds of classic love songs. I even hired a detective to make profiles of Edward and Bella."
Emmett's mouth dropped.
"You are seriously sick. Do mom and dad know about this?"
"No.." Alice muttered, "And they're not going to find out, are they?"
'No." Emmett gulped, 'Of course not."
"Good boy!" Alice patted him on the head before skipping out of the room.
It was midnight that night when Bella heard a few sharp taps on her door.
Before she could anser, Alice barged in pulling Emmett and Edward behind her.
"Alice!" Bella cried looking at her insane best friend.
"Oh hey Bella! We're playing truth or dare in your room, K?"
"I guess I don't really have a choice.."
"Exactly!" Alice smiled before plopping down on the floor. Emmett sat on a chair leaving Edward to sit with Bella on the bed.
He awkwardly sat down, and Bella scooted over to give him more room.
"Hey," he smiled sheepishly, "sorry about this."
"It's okay" Bella grinned back.
Suddenly Alice cleared her throat, "As cute as you two are, SOME of us are actually trying to play a game here.
"Go ahead Alice" Edward rolled his eyes at Bella and she giggled.
"Okay! Emmett, truth or dare?"
"Truth!" Emmett answered immediately, terrified of Alice's dares.
"Very nice.." Alice chuckled at a joke no one else heard.
"Okay Emmett, who's the girl?"
Everyone was confused by the question.
"Don't ask how I know, Em, just answer the question."
"I..I don't know what you're talking about." Emmett answered shakily.
"Emmett, come on. I know you. All this time spent away from the house with 'friends', missed phone calls, blah blah blah. Who's this mysterious girl that you're seeing."
"Goodness Alice, how do you find out these things?" Emmett cried.
"Oh my dear brother, I'm a genius."
"Evil genius, more like." Emmett muttered angrily, "Fine. Her name's Rosalie Hale. Sorry I kept it from you guys, she's different thought. I didn't want somebody," he looked directly at Alice, "messing anything up."
"I do not mess things up!" Alice exclaimed.
Alice rolled her eyes as Bella and Edward laughed at the little exchange.
"Don't worry, brother dearest, I'll make sure this Rosalie comes over for dinner. Immediately."
"Fantastic." Emmett sulked.
"Oh darling Em, don't cry."
Bella laughed once again.
"Oh you think its so funny?" Emmett demanded, "Your turn! Bella, truth or dare."
Bella hesitated, "Dare."
Alice laughed hysterically.
"Okay Bells." Emmett chuckled, "I dare you to kiss Edward, on the lips, five seconds minimum. Right here, right now."
"You have got to be kidding me!" Edward and Bella both exclaimed at the same time.
"Oh no. A dare's a dare." Alice glared at her brother and her best friend.
"Fine. Let's do this." Edward stated, "But you never said you had to watch. Em, Ali, get out."
"Wha...I..." Alice stuttered, clearly taken off guard.
"You heard the man Alice, he wants some alone time with Bells here. I have to say, I didn't think you had it in you Eddie. Always thought you played for the other team..." Emmett raised his eyebrows at his brother.
"Oh come on Emmett." Edward glared at the both of them.
"Alice. Go. Now." Bella joined in on Edwards tirade.
"Fine. But five seconds. That's it, then I'm coming back in."
Emmett and Alice charged out and Alice slammed the door behind her.
"We don't have to kiss if you don't want to." Edward said, always the gentleman.
Although it was well intended, Bella was a little upset, and felt a little rejected.
"Nope, you heard her. A dare's a dare."
"Alright then." Edward whispered placing his hand on her cheek and moving in closer.
Their lips met and Bella melted into Edward.
Suddenly, Alice barged in.
"Okay okay. Let's go."
"Jeez Alice." Edward sighed at his sister.
And Bella could only hope that he was just as unhappy as she was that their kiss had ended.
"Well, I'm tired." Alice yawned, "Goodnight Edward, Bella."
Alice charged out of the room leaving Edward and Bella alone again.
"Goodnight Edward." Bella whispered.
"Night Bells." He whispered back, before getting up and walking away.
Emmett and Alice sat in Alice's room a few minutes later.
"Kissing? Five seconds? Alice they could've gotten together right then and there if you hadn't barged in!"
"Oh brother, you don't understand. The time isn't right. Edward's not 100% good yet, he's going to mess up again. If they get together now, he'll break her heart and she'll never forgive him again. If we can hold it off until 'The Big Mistake' that Edward'll make, then the mistake and his pitifulness will only be another reason for her to get together with him."
"I have no idea what you just said," Emmett sighed, "But I'm going to trust you. Because I'd do anything to keep seeing that grin on Edward's face right after he kissed Bella."
"Me too, me too." Alice shook her head, "Speaking of smiles and girlfriends, I got Rosalie's number from your phone a few minutes ago, and I'm calling her tomorrow to ask her to dinner. Be prepared, dress nicely. Goodnight!"
"You got her num...whatever. I'm tired. Goodnight."
Alice just laughed some crazy kind of laugh, and Emmett left the room.
One more step of the plan: Complete.
