I don't own it
Didn't See That One Coming
BPOV
As soon as Edward had left I came back in to explain the situation to my heartbroken best friend. I was embarrassed to say the least, it is Monday and I'm pretty sure my face is still beat red.
Even though Alex's date was ruined he didn't mind, apparently Edward was cute, but not his type. Please cute!? Try incredibly sexy! Alex still encouraged me to go out with Jake, I reluctantly did so once I stopped crying and after I reapplied my make-up. We just went out for some pizza, I wasn't in the mood for anything else.
Jake was nice enough and very good looking. Our conversation mostly took the format of a two-way interview since we both knew absolutely nothing about each other. He enjoyed working on cars and had an extreme love of dogs and sports. He really was a sweet guy but I just couldn't bring myself to like him because he had one major flaw. He wasn't Edward.
At the end of the night he kissed my cheek and we made plans for the next weekend. He had trouble planning things spur of the moment because of his career. I was just another appointment in his PDA.
I miss Edward, why did I have to be such a tike, see I am now even using British cuss words.
I realized that if I didn't get out of bed soon that I would be late for work and then I would be fired, even though I wouldn't mind getting fired because now I have to face Edward daily and he hates me. Oh the joys of my fucked up life.
I got out of bed and took a longer shower than necessary in attempt to relieve some of my stress build up. The strawberry scent of my shampoo helped me relax a little bit but not fully. I tried to think of what I could possibly tell Edward.
I straightened my hair and put on a very minimal amount of make-up, thank goodness Alice was coming home tonight so I could have my stylist back.
I went into my closet and picked out a simple baby pink Elizabeth and James Adele dress. It is short and has a scoop neckline along with a U-shaped back, the waist has a clinched drawstring to give my body some shape. I put on a pair of black Jimmy Choo sandal booties.
I rushed downstairs and saw that I really was running late, I only had twenty minutes to get to the office. I grabbed my purse, an apple, and my two garment bags quickly as possible and rushed off to my car.
I sped the entire way and made it there with five minutes to spare.
When I entered all the interns were inside preparing their presentations, Edward was sitting in his chair looking pissed off and anxious. I quietly sat down beside him and unzipped the bags that held our dresses.
I hadn't even looked at our evening gown yet. But I am betting on it being more gorgeous than a Vera Wang wedding dress. I turned to face Edward, "Look Edward I'm really sorry-"
He cut me off, his voice was high and feminine, "Oh hey girlfriend!" He then snorted in disgust, "Look Bella I just want to get today over with so just save it okay."
"Fine but you haven't even heard my reasoning yet so bite me." I was not in the mood to deal with an asshole today no matter how gorgeous and flawless this asshole might be.
"Wow are you always a fuckin ray of sunshine in the morning?"
"Shove it." This was going to be an interesting day.
I might be judgmental but he was stubborn and pig-headed. He couldn't even listen to my fricking apology!
Rose entered and immediately took her seat at the head of the table. "Okay interns I don't have much time I have an important meeting with a friend of mine," She smiled like a little schoolgirl and continued, "Leah and Eric you're up first."
Leah and Eric both nervously got up from their seat and put their dresses on the two mannequins. Their first one was a white lace dress with drop sleeves. It had a simple v-neck and it hung loosely off the mannequin. It was adorable, something I would definitely wear. Rosalie went up and inspected the dress closely, "The hem is a little off but the design is very modern and unique. Good job. Now for your evening gown please."
Leah looked relieved but Eric looked ready to piss his trousers. They gently placed the strapless gown onto the mannequin. It was a gorgeous white to blue ombre chiffon gown. It showed a front ruffle design and a pleated bodice, the tailoring looked magnificent. I gave Leah a thumbs up for approval, she mouthed back 'thanks'.
Rosalie examined it closely, "Very pretty, I like it. Thank you, you may take your seat."
They sat back down and let out the breaths that they had been holding.
Rosalie looked across the table, "Lauren and Jessica. Place your dresses on the mannequins please."
Jessica spoke with respect in her voice. "Ma'am we hired some models to show our dresses for us."
"Very well, bring them in." She rolled her eyes looking annoyed with Jess and Lauren's kiss-ass attitudes.
"Okay Eden and Mary please come in!" Eden? My favorite waitress Eden, oh dear God! What has she gotten herself into?
The first girl, a stick skinny blonde walked in wearing a kelly green halter top with an empire waisted and a pleated skirt. Very typical day dress, I wasn't impressed. And neither was Boss Woman. "Okay well then, I guess it's very well put together. Next model please."
Eden came in wearing a dress or maybe it was just a bunch of dark bronze duct tape wrapped around her. She wobbled in, I could tell she couldn't move or even breathe for that matter. Her mocha colored face was turning purple. Rosalie ran over to her and unzipped the back. "My God! Can you even move in that thing!? Let alone breathe?"
Eden took a deep breath in, "Yeah when it's unzipped." We all giggled.
Rosalie looked at the dress skeptically, "The ruching is good, but don't ever use this fabric again! Or that color!"
Lauren and Jessica looked terrified but murmured, "Yes ma'am, sorry."
Rosalie looked at us expectantly, "That leaves us with Isabella and Edward."
We both stood up, Edward grabbed the dresses, he placed the day dress on the mannequin.
The dress had a deep v-neck and kimono styled sleeves, there was a keyhole design in the back. I quickly wrapped the belt around the mannequin to give the dress some shape. I was right, the light brown leather looked amazingly perfect with the slate blue color of the dress. All Rosalie said was, "Hmmm…" Okay so that made me nervous. I nodded to tell Edward to put up the evening gown.
I have never seen such a beautiful piece of clothing in my 22 years of life. The ivory fabric was beautiful and innocent looking, the beaded collar was intricate and the gold beading, as Edward said it would be, contrasted perfectly with the ivory. The front keyhole showed an innocent amount of cleavage and the front slit showed some leg, even though the mannequin doesn't have legs. The dress flowed away from the body giving it a goddess look. He turned around the mannequin to show off the back.
The back of it was U-shaped but four golden strips connected the lowly placed fabric to the collar. Gorgeous, just gorgeous was all that came to mind.
Everyone gasped and stared in awe, including the fashion queen herself. "That will be all." She left for her office.
Edward ran a hand through his sex hair and tugged on it, smiling shyly.
I think my jaw is still on the floor. I picked it up.
"Edward, wow."
"Thanks." It was now or never.
I grabbed his arm and pulled him over to a corner. I stepped in front of him making sure that he couldn't escape this time. "Okay will you please listen to what I have to say this time?"
He just looked at me with those breathtaking green eyes that were dark than usual and sported dark bruises right below.
"Well how about I start from the beginning? On our first day here I was instantly attracted to you. " His eyes flickered up to meet mine, my face reddened at my confession, "But I saw Lauren and Jessica talking to you and hitting on you, you said something that looked like you were rejecting them. They are very pretty girls Edward, the only rational reason I could think of at the time for you to be rejecting them was that you weren't into girls. Then they came over by the water fountain while I was getting a drink and they were talking about your homosexuality. Plus I have only met one or two straight men that have careers in the fashion industry so that just added to the suspicion. And I know that it's wrong to judge based on career so you don't have to harp about that to me."
He opened his mouth to say something. I put my hand up to stop him. "And then once I started to get to know you you seemed way to good to be true, you weren't a pig and you didn't drop sexual innuendos where most guys would. You didn't even tell me one dirty joke. You were such a gentleman and I knew you were too amazing to be straight. But now I feel like a total ass and I truly am sorry, I'd like to start over again. Please."
"Bella what I don't understand is why you didn't just come up and ask me it wouldn't have been that hard."
"What the hell was I supposed to say, 'hey Edward I have a feeling that you're into guys, are you?'"
"Bella you could ask me anything."
Just then I heard Rosalie's door open and Edward and I hurried back to our seats.
She stood at the head of the table, looking powerful and intimidating. "Overall it was an easy decision. The two dresses that have been chosen are different and perfectly put together. The colors were phenomenal and I have a feeling that they will be huge hits in the upcoming season. Congratulations Edward and Isabella."
Leah and Eric clapped ferociously and I forgot to breathe.
Edward leaned in close, "Congratulations love."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
When I got home I shared the amazing news with Alex, we both jumped up and down and celebrated with a glass of expensive French wine. We turned on the music and celebrated even more.
Just when we were about to pass out Alice burst through the door with 4 large suitcases, "Get your lazy asses up and help me roomies!"
"Alice! I missed you so much! I have so much to tell you."
"Bella, suitcases then stories please!"
"Yes ma'am."
When I carried up the last of Alice's suitcases I heard my phone ring from in the kitchen. I rushed to grab it.
New text from Emmett.
Hey lil' sis whatcha doin tonight?
Not a damn thing, why do you ask?
I was wondering if a special friend and I could stop by so I could introduce you, maybe eat some grub.
Uh yeah sure, this 'special friend', would it happen to be a girlfriend maybe?
You know me too well, we'll be there in a half an hour.
Thanks for all the time to prepare, (btw that's sarcasm) bye love you brother bear.
Love you too sissypoo!
Emmett had never brought home a girl ever. Usually he did the hump-and-dump. He'd go out with a girl once, bang them, and then never talk to them again.
Alice and Alex were watching 'Project Runway' and debating on which designer would be out next.
"You guys, Emmett has a girlfriend!"
Alice's jaw dropped but Alex looked amused, "Bella you little jokester!"
"No I'm serious, they're coming over like super soon, precisely 26 minutes!"
Alice jumped up from the couch and started cleaning up our neglected living room and dining area, Alex started on the kitchen throwing away all the trash littered about and cleaned all the dirty dishes. "Bella we'll get the house ready and you can go upstairs to get ready, you need to make a great impression on her!"
I sprinted into the elevator and up to my room, I was jittering with nerves combined with excitement. Once the elevator reached my floor I didn't waste anytime, I full out sprinted into my closet trying to find something decent to wear. I settled on my favorite Bebe Intarsia tank dress. It was striped but had a subtle diamond print in the background. It was alabaster and a darker colored khaki. There was a metallic cream sash going around the waist. It was casual and comfortable.
I retouched my straightened hair and added some lip-gloss. I quickly headed back down to my living room to start dinner, maybe a nice and simple lasagna. I usually had enough supplies for that.
The elevator jolted to a stop, I had ten minutes. "Alice! I need your help in the kitchen get out the-"
"Lasagna noodles, meat, sauce and pans. I've got you covered." I stared and rolled my eyes, typical Alice.
I started dinner quickly, trying to throw together a decent meal.
I had everything placed in the dish when the doorbell rang, "Alice can you get that."
She opened the door I heard Emmett say, "Midge! I haven't seen you in so long, I would like you to meet my girlfriend."
"Oh holy hell Emmett! Not her! Please God, why!?" Alice dramatically fell down onto the couch.
I peeked around the corner, I saw a gorgeous model looking woman standing beside my brother in a red satin-tiered dress that fit her like a glove, it was an original Rosalie Hale design. I looked up at the woman's face and the beauty was all too familiar, I definitely didn't see that one coming "Ms. Hale!?"
Her bewildered and shocked expression mirrored mine. "Isabella!?"
Oh hell.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
