Hey everyone! Sorry for the long wait. I was sort of delaying doing my homework. And seeing as it's the last day of my holiday and everythings do tomorrow. Well you get it.
Again i Don't own anything
Thanks for all the reviews! They mean so much to me : )
I made my way over toward the counter to pick up our drinks. We always had the same thing so when I went to pick them up Jill from the counter just smiled and handed them over.
I always got a caramel frappacino with whipped cream, and a blueberry scone, Alice always got a mocha frappacino with one of the houses signature brownies. I started sipping my drink before I even got to our table. Mhmm caffeine always made me feel better, it also got me hyper but who cares about that part.
I pulled out my chair and hopped up, it was one of the taller tables. "Thanks Alice." It was a rule whoever got here first had to pay. I slid over her order and started putting the cream on top of my scone.
"No problem!" She said as she bit into her brownie.
"So when's this cousin of yours coming?""He said he'd be here in 5 minutes, he just got done with an interview."
I just nodded my head, I had a mouthful of scone and it was rude to talk with your mouth open.
"I have some bad news to tell you Al." I said frowning and placing my scone back on the plate.
"Uh oh, what's up bells?"
"Well when I left your house and went over to my parents house, my mom told me that I was moving back in with them. Wait scratch that, moving is the wrong term. More like they sold my place packed my stuff up, shipped it back to their house all in a matter of a day!" I could feel my face getting red from lack of oxygen as I managed to get that all out in one breathe.
"They wont even let me go to the interview with your friend tomorrow!"
"What?! Why not?"
"They don't want me working, they want me to be some debutante. What ever that is."
"That sucks, but the good thing is that you'll be ten minutes away from me." Alice smiled trying to lighten up my sour mood.
"Yeah that is a plus, but they sold my house with out even warning me!" I was still kinda pissed off but I was coming down now, it felt good to get that all out. I didn't feel guilty this time, but I still remembered blowing up in Edward's face.
Note to self next time you see Edward apologize.
"Well bells you know my cousin is coming and he would happily move the interview to right now, he does run this part of the business with Rose and Emmett."
"Uhh sure? I guess I mean I don't want to force him to."
"Don't be silly he would love to!"
"What do they do?"
"Well Rose runs the school, Emmett is more of an investor, and Edward is an investor but he also is a music producer."
As soon as she said Edward, I heard that little bell by the door that rings when someone new walks in.
And in comes the devil himself, sorry I mean Edward.
I ducked and tried to hide from him, I can just see me now, 19 year old me trying to hide under a table.
Real attractive.
"Bella! What are you doing?" Alice said as she leaned to the side and looked down at me.
"Uh sorry I um dropped my.." I looked down and saw a napkin. Yes!! I jumped up banging my head on the table. "Bloody hell!" I screamed. Causing everyone in the shop to look my way. "Uh haha I dropped my napkin?" I said waving it so everyone could see.
Unfortunately Edward saw this and made his way toward us.
My face was still fire truck red and I tried to shake it off. I started to drink my coffee.
"Hey cousin." He said while giving Alice a hug.
Cousin?! I thought and spat the drink that was in my mouth onto a surprised Alice's face.
"Oh Al I'm sorry!" I jumped down from my seat and ran over to her. I started to wipe her face off with the napkin I had in my hand. "I'm so SO sorry! "I said repeatedly.
"Bella. Bella. Bella!" She said finally grabbing my hands and pulling them away from her face. "It's ok, just go sit down." I turned around and hung my head as I jumped back into my seat.
During the whole show, Edward had pulled up a seat next to me and was trying to hold in his laughter.
Let me tell you it wasn't working.
"Any way" Alice said while turning to glare at me, "Bella this is my COUSIN Edward. Edward this is my best friend Bella" I could tell she stressed the word so it wouldn't shock me as before.
"Hi." I said I just wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole right now. Come on show me some mercy!!
"Well it's nice to see you again Bella." He said. God was his voice always this perfect?
"Again?" Alice said her eyes lighting up.
"Yeah uh we met at my house today." I said while looking down at my hands. I just wanted to get out of here. This whole conversation was making me uncomfortable. It seemed that the floor just wasn't answering my prayers of swallowing me up and spitting me out in some other world away from this.
"Oh well Bella you didn't mention that in your whole rant."
"Rant?" Edward asked lifting up one of his perfect eyebrows. Snap out of it Bella! I yelled at myself.
God, now I'm talking to myself. Well more like yelling at myself. Someone call the Looney police. Maybe they'll take me away.
"Yeah Edward a rant." Alice said smiling toward me. I was gonna kill her.
"Yeah I kinda vented out my horrible day with Alice." I said
"Oh like you did with me?" He asked. Ah the guilt!
"Yeah about that, Look I'm sorry I was having a bad day."
"It's ok. Apology accepted." He smiled at me.
"Well look at the time, I have to go meet up with Jasper. Edward this is the girl I was telling you about. Your interview for tomorrow, since something came up for both of you for tomorrow, and I'm leaving you guys could do the interview now." She smiled.
She was leaving me?! No!!!
"Sure Alice I'll see you later." He said
"Yeah bye Alice." I glared at her.
She smiled picked up her trash and waved good bye before leaving the shop.
Edward turned and smiled at me, "I guess it's just you and me now."
"Unfortunately" I mumbled.
"What was that?"
I blushed, "Nothing."
"Ok. So lets start with this interview?" He asked
"S-Sure?" I answered, it sounded more like a question.
"Ok hmm lets start with your age."
"I'm 19."
"Where do you go to school at?"
"Harlem School of the Arts."
"What are you studying?"
"I'm majoring in art."
"What year are you in?"
"I'm a freshman."
"How long have you danced for?"
"Since I was five, I also did gymnastics."
"Anything else?"
"Um, I played soccer since I was 7 till I was a senior in high school. In high school I also played volleyball, track, gymnastics, and lacrosse."
"Oh so you like sports?"
"Duh lol." I laughed, and he joined in.
"Ok well that sounds good."
"Good?" I asked confused.
"Yeah you have the job."
"I don't know, you met my mom. She doesn't want me to work."
"Oh yeah." He said frowning, I'm guessing at the memory of my mother. "Well, you can always say that your hanging out with me." He smiled.
"Hmm that sounds like a good plan. She's pushing me to hang out with you, so this will get her off my back." I stated.
He laughed, "Oh so anytime I ask you to hang out, you'll only say yes because your moms making you?" he teased.
"Who says I would say yes?"
"Oh well who wouldn't want to hang out with me?" He said playfully pushing out his chest and sticking his nose in the air.
"Well you seem boring, what would we do?"
"Well, hmm lets see." He said tapping his finger on his chin. "Well I would first take you to a library, then make you read the encyclopedia."
"Oh how did you know that was what I loved to do!" I laughed
Just then my phone started ringing.
So give it up, I guess it's overdue I'm over you
Give it up, even in your dreams I bet you think of meYou're so untrue, baby, I know you're nothing newSo give it up, cause I'd never give it up to.
"Oh sorry um let me take this." I blushed and got out of my chair.
I walked away from the table.
"Hello?" I asked answering the phone.
"Yo bellsy!" I heard sky and brian yell at the same time.
"He guys! Did you make it out of there ok?"
"Yeah we sure did, gave that old bat a run for her money we sure did."
"W-What did y-you two do t-to her?" I asked in-between laughs.
"Well sky here decided that since they weren't giving you up, that he was going to streak and run around th old bats lawn."
By now I was doubling over from laughing so hard.
I heard sky yell in the back "you know she liked it"
"Look guys as much as I would love to stay and chat, I gotta go. Is there a reason that your calling?"
"Oh yeah! Remember Friday my place beer and pizza night. Be there or be square!" They yelled together.
"Don't worry remember I pay for the beer you pay for the pizzas."
"You got that right! See ya!"
"Bye guys."
I hung up and made my way back to the table.
"Sorry about that."
He smiled, "No problem, it looked like an interesting conversation."
I laughed, "You have no idea."
I looked at my phone. "Well I better get back before my mom calls NYPD on me."
"Yeah jumping from your window might lead her to do that."
"Hey when you want freedom, you'd do anything to get it." I stated.
"Anything for you really means anything."
"You bet."
We laughed and walked out together.
"Well till later then I guess." I said stupidly. Great Bella.
"Till later then." He smiled.
He gave me a hug and I kind of jumped, it felt like electricity running between us.
He smiled, and I waved as I made my way toward the subway.
I had a stupid smile on my face.
It had been a bad day, but it just had a good ending.
Hope you enjoyed it, and it just wasn't a load of crap : )
Please review, i would love to see if i could get somewhere in the 20's pretty please? Or am i asking to much?
Ok i'm shutting up now.
