EPOV
"Ok, Edward, you know all the table manners, opening the door for the lady, pulling her chair out…" Alice was ticking things off her fingers. After she had gotten over taunting me for taking a liking in a girl, she had started helping me with things to do tonight. She had reserved seats for Bella and I at an Italian restaurant in Port Angeles.
After Alice helped me with what I should do and also what I should wear, she raced out of the house. There were still two hours left until I had to pick up Bella… it felt like two days! I did everything I could think of; pacing, playing the piano, and watching Emmett play his x-box… I was getting extremely impatient.
Why?! Did God hate me or something?! I wanted to see Bella!
BPOV
I was looking in my closet, wondering what I should wear. I didn't have many options, so I was starting to panic. There were about two hours left till Edward would pick me up. I wasn't even sure if I liked this guy yet, but I did know that I didn't want to screw this date up.
The door bell rung, pulling me out of my thoughts. I raced down stairs to get it, stumbling a bit in the process.
I pulled back the door to see Alice grinning evilly at me with a large white bag in her hands. This could not be good…
"Bella," Alice started, her voice full of innocence. I didn't trust it for one minute. "CanIhelpyougetreadyforyourdatetonight?!" Alice gushed. I was quiet for a minute, trying to figure out what Alice said. I gave her a confused look. She sighed heavily and dragged me back into my house, closing the door behind her. Then I realized that she didn't just have the bag, but also a container that was a box shape. It seemed to be made of metal. I didn't know what all this was so I just continued to hold my confused expression in place.
Alice pulled me into my bedroom and sat me down on the bed. She raced into the bathroom with a strange devise that was long and had one of those cords to plug it in. I didn't know what it was, but I thought it might be weird if I asked, seeing as it was probably something that was common in the human world, but in the end, my curiosity got the better of me.
"Alice, what was that thing that you took into the bathroom just before?" I asked as she entered my room again.
She looked at me flabbergasted. Uh oh…
"You poor soul! It's a curler!" she gasped in horror.
"Oh, right," I said, pretending that I knew what that was.
"Ok, Bella. Have a shower and then we can get started," Alice started to push me into the bathroom. Uh oh times a billion! Could I handle that much water without growing a tail?!
"Uh… Ok," I agreed slightly nervous and reluctant. Alice didn't seem to pick up on that, so she just continued to push me along.
"Don't wash your hair. I don't want to mess it up by blow drying it and making it all frizzy," she said seriously. I agreed before closing the door behind me.
I took a deep breath. I can do this, I chanted over and over again in my mind. I stripped off my clothes and got in the shower.
I turned on the water. It was cold, but I soon found out that when I tampered with the taps, the temperature changed. I didn't mind it cold, of course, seeing as I live in the sea, but it was pleasant having warm water run over me.
I quickly started to wash myself, chanting over and over again that I would not loose my legs. My thoughts suddenly drifted to Edward. I wonder what he's doing right n-
Thump, dammit! I fell to the floor, not able to stand anymore.
I looked down at my 'legs'. Dammit all! My tail was back.
I sighed, aggravated, and turned the water off. There was a knock at the door.
"Bella? Are you ok?" Alice's worried voice came from the other side. I was nervous that she would come in.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I yelled back. I held my hand over my tail and started to slowly evaporate the water that was in my tail. In about a minute my legs were back and I was completely dry. I wrapped myself in a towel and made my way back into my room where an impatient Alice was waiting.
"Finally," she muttered as she handed me a dress and some under garments for it. It was a very pretty dress, gold, with an over layer of some kind that flowed down about mid-thigh. There was a belt just under the bust. (Pic on profile)
"Wow Alice, its great!" I complimented enthusiastically. I raced into the bathroom, chucking on the strapless bra and panties that Alice had gotten me from Victoria's Secret. Huh, I wonder where the name came from…
After I pulled the dress on I ran back to my room so Alice could see. Once I re-entered the room Alice's mouth dropped.
"Bella! You look amazing!" she gushed, jumping up to give me a hug.
"Thanks," I laughed. "Now, what's in that box of tricks?" I asked, pointing to the big metal box/bag thing/
"Well, I thought I should do your make-up, duh," Alice giggled, as if it was obvious.
"Oh," make-up? Um… yeah, I know what that is…
"Sit, sit, sit! I have to hurry! We only have an hour and a half left!" Alice cried as she pushed me onto the bed, getting to work.
Half an hour later she was done. She dragged me into the bathroom so she could use the curler. I was curious again, seeing as I didn't know what it was for.
"I'll be back in a minute," Alice raced out of the bathroom, coming back with a chair from down stairs.
"Now sit, I want to do your hair," I obeyed silently, watching her in the mirror. I saw what she had done to my face, and I loved it. She had added colour on my lips and eyelids, and also drawn a black line under my eyes. It looked great.
I saw her use the curler on my hair. It curled it. Duh, I thought to myself. I couldn't believe my stupidity.
Another half hour later and I was ready. I looked myself over in the mirror, and thanked Alice again. I looked pretty! I ran to my room and grabbed my holler-phone, replacing it around my neck.
We had half an hour left. I was getting impatient, but Alice was chatting to me like she didn't notice. I really wanted to try human food, other than pizza. After I found out how to pronounce it I have been repeating it out loud ever since. I was pulled out of my thoughts by a sudden knock at the door. I looked at the time, there were still ten minutes left until it was time.
I got up to answer the door, but Alice beat me.
"Edward, hello!" Alice chirped. I was about to run over, but, since I am not quite used to my legs yet, I tripped over and landed with a thud in the living room.
"What was that?" I heard Edward ask, sounding worried. Alice looked over at me and burst out laughing. I blushed and got up, walking slowly to the door.
When I got there I saw a very handsome Edward waiting on the porch. I smiled, my blush still not quite gone. Dammit, I'd embarrassed myself already.
"Hi," I greeted nervously, scratching the back of my head and avoiding eye contact with him.
It took him a while to answer, so I looked up at him.
He was looking at me with his mouth open slightly. He raked my dress over and then stopped at my face. We looked into each other's eyes for a while until I heard someone clear their throat. Oh, right. Alice.
"Bella, here are your shoes!" Alice chirped excitedly. "Oh and Edward? Close your mouth, you're attracting flies," Alice joked.
I giggled, as he blushed slightly, glaring at Alice.
"Shall we?" Edward asked, extending his arm. I wrapped my arm around his, smiling.
"I suppose we shall."
We made our way to his car. His was nicer then mine, obviously, seeing as my dad bought his a long time ago.
He opened my door for me, which made my heart flutter. He was well mannered; I'll give him that.
I was excited. My first human date! I wonder what is going to happen…
EPOV
I couldn't take it any longer. I pulled up in front of her house ten minutes early, anxious, excited and nervous to see her. I wanted to be in her presence again. I didn't like being away from her.
I knocked on the door and Alice answered it.
"Edward, hello!" Alice chirped. I was about to ask what she was doing here when I heard a loud thump.
"What was that?" I asked. Was Bella hurt?
Alice looked over in the direction the sound came from and started laughing hard.
A blushing Bella came into sight, embarrassed. She must have fallen.
But I wasn't worried anymore.
She looked stunning! Her hair was loosely curled, her dress fit her perfectly, and she looked amazing with the natural make-up. I knew I was gawking but I really didn't care at that point in time.
"Hi," her beautiful melodic voice, slightly nervous and embarrassed, greeted. I was still gaping, there was not a single thought in my mind that didn't circulate around Bella.
I looked at her face and met her eyes. Those deep brown pools seemed to suck me in. I never wanted to get out. She was a dangerous creature; I'll give her that.
I was brought back to reality when Alice cleared her throat, smiling smugly.
"Bella, here are your shoes!" Alice chirped excitedly. "Oh and Edward? Close your mouth, you're attracting flies," Alice joked.
I blushed, but didn't feel that embarrassed, seeing as I was lost in the beautiful giggle that was escaping Bella's lips. Man, I was falling hard for this girl.
After regaining my voice, I extended an arm to Bella. "Shall we?"
"I suppose we shall," Bella answered, smiling while looping her arm through mine. Her touch seemed to send little sparks of electricity and heat through me. It was amazing.
We walked to me Volvo. I opened the door for her, and was rewarded by one of her breath-taking smiles.
This was going to be one hell of a night, I thought, smiling as I made my way around to my side of the car.
