Chapter 7: Bella
It was the end of school and I was heading to Edward's Volvo.
"Hey!" I suddenly got spun around and I laughed.
"Why do you do that to me?" I asked looking at Edward.
"Because it's what I've always done to you," he said and I nodded.
"I know that," I said and we started walking again.
"So… I'm going to be like an overprotective brother when it comes to you and Jacob," he said and I nodded. Great, I didn't want him to be a brother.
"I can take care of myself," I said as we got to his car and waited for Alice.
"Yeah, sure," he said and I hit him and leaned against his car.
"Where is she?" I asked and he shrugged.
"She's my sister, I don't keep track of her," he said and I blinked.
"I'm your best friend and you watch who I'm with," I said and he nodded.
"Like you said, you're my best friend," he said and we just stared at each other. He started leaning his head down and almost touched my lips but he jerked away suddenly.
"Hey guys!" Alice said and kissed Jasper lightly before skipping over to us
"Hey," I said and went to the other side as Edward got in.
"So, we have to go get dressed for our date!" Alice said when we were driving off.
"Yes we do," I said and Edward groaned.
"What? You're the one who suggested this," Alice said and Edward nodded.
"I know that, I'm groaning because I can't believe Bella's actually going on a date with him," Edward said and I sighed.
"Give it a rest, maybe if you didn't hate him so much you could like him," I said as we got out at his house.
"Yeah, problem there, I hate him!" Edward said and I sighed.
"Whatever," I said and walked in.
"Hey guys!" Emily said greeting us.
"Em, what are you doing here already?" Edward asked and Emily stared.
"What did you want to spend time with Bella?" Emily asked and Edward shook his head.
"No, I was just wondering," Edward said and I sighed.
"Well, we'll be out in the backyard," I said pushing Alice out.
"Bye!" Alice said and I sighed, "Why did you want to leave?"
"I've known him long enough to know when he doesn't want us there!" I said and Alice nodded and sat down.
"Whatever! I love to eavesdrop," Alice said as I sat down.
"I know that! I'm so nervous about my date with Jake," I admitted.
"I know that! Even Edward knew that," she said grabbing her sunglasses out of her purse and putting them on.
"He doesn't know that, he just doesn't want me to be alone with Jake on our first date," I said pulling a leaf apart.
"Bella, maybe if you had asked him out before he and Emily got together again, you wouldn't be with Jake,"
"I know I wouldn't be with Jake if I had asked Edward out, but I don't want to ruin our friendship," I said leaning back.
" 'I don't want to ruin our friendship Alice,' " she was mocking me, "that's all you ever say! Take a chance!"
"Don't make fun of me Alice!" I said and sighed, "Alice, he's my best friend if we dated and it didn't work out, it would ruin everything,"
"Hey guys," Edward said sitting down.
"Where's Emily?" I asked and he sighed.
"Don't ask me, I don't care!" he said and Alice stared at me.
"Why?"
"She's mad because we're going on a triple date," Edward said and Alice smiled. Oh no she better not.
"You know Bella wouldn't have minded," Alice said and I rolled my eyes.
"Alice, shut up!" I said and Alice glared at me.
"You know what, I'm going to get something to drink, BRB!" Alice yelled running in.
"Man, she gets annoying!" Edward said and I slapped his knee.
"She's my best friend," I said and he stared at me.
"I thought I was," he said and I nodded.
"You both are, we'll be friends forever no matter what," I said and he nodded and held my hand.
"Deal," he said and we just sat there, holding hands like a couple.
"Well I leave you two alone for 5 minutes and you're holding hands," Alice said with a bottle of water in hand.
"Alice, we don't have to include you in the deal," I said and she raised her sunglasses.
"What deal? There's a deal?" she asked and I sighed.
"That we'll be friends forever, no matter what," I said and she sighed.
"Oh, okay!" She said and looked at her watch, "Edward, come on, it's 4:45, we are going to Bella's house,"
"Let's go," he said and I sighed while getting up.
"Edward, I'm sorry," Emily said when we walked into his house.
"It's cool," Edward said and walked out.
"What's wrong with him?" Emily asked Alice and Alice just shrugged.
"Like I know, he's just my brother," Alice said giving Emily a hug.
"Bella, do you know?" Emily asked and I shook my head.
"Nah, he was fine a few minutes ago," I said and she sighed.
"Okay, well I'm going home to get ready for our date,"
"That's where we're going but Edward's giving us a ride," I said and Emily nodded.
"Cool," she said and we stood there until we heard Edward honk.
"WE'RE COMING!" Alice screamed as she ran out.
"See ya at home," I said getting into his Volvo.
"What took you so long?" Edward asked putting his car into reverse.
"We were talking to Emily, what is your problem with her?" I asked and he sighed.
"I don't know, she just gets on my nerves!" he said and I sighed.
"Why are you dating her then?" I asked and he shrugged.
"I don't know," he said and parked behind Emily's car in my garage.
"You coming in?" I asked and he nodded.
"Yeah, who knows how long it will take," Edward said and walked in.
"Alice, come on!" I said grabbing her hand and pulling her up to my closet.
"EDWARD!" Alice yelled when we were there.
"What?" he asked coming up.
"Which should I wear?" I asked, "a dress? Pants? Or a skirt?"
"I think you would look cute in any of them," he said and I smiled. He said I would look cute!
"Bella, wear this!" Alice said tossing me a white skirt and a belt.
"White?" I asked and she nodded.
"Go in there and put it on," Alice said pushing me into my closet. I put it on quickly and stepped out, "that is it! Now lets find a shirt to go with it," I stepped out of the way and let her look.
"You look great!" Edward said and I smiled.
"Thank you," I said self-consciously.
"Hey, I mean it, as much as I hate him he's lucky to be going on a date with you," Edward said and I moved some hair behind my ear.
"Thanks," I said again and he smiled.
"BELLA! COME HERE!" Alice yelled and I laughed and went over.
"What?" I asked.
"Try this on," she said tossing me a pink long-sleeved shirt. I put it on and stepped out.
"THAT IS IT!" Alice yelled and Edward smiled, "lets get to work on the makeup,"
"Alice, I think guys like natural beauty," Edward said and I squealed inside. He thought I was beautiful without makeup.
"And some think it makes us look hot!" Alice said and I looked at her.
"Jasper?" I asked and she sighed.
"Don't question my boyfriend," she said and went to work. Edward sighed after 10 minutes and I was ready to scream after 15 minutes.
"DONE!" Alice yelled and spun me around.
"Wow!" Edward said staring at me.
"Do I look bad?" I asked and he shook his head.
"No way! You look beautiful," Edward said and I smiled.
"Bella, your boyfriend's here!" Emily yelled upstairs.
"Already?" I asked and ran down.
"GOOD LUCK!" Alice yelled and I smiled.
"Thanks," I said and ran downstairs.
"WOW! You look cute," Jake yelled and I was kind of hurt. Edward said I was beautiful.
"That's an insult!" Edward said coming downstairs.
"Really? So you don't think she looks good,"
"I didn't say that, she doesn't look cute, she looks beautiful, she's always cute, she can't do anything without it being cute," Edward said and Jake chuckled.
"Come on Bells, I'm taking you to eat before our date," Jake said grabbing my hand.
"But I'm not hungry, and we're going on a triple date with Alice, Jasper, Edward, and Emily," I said and he stared at me.
"What?" he asked and Edward laughed.
"Oh yeah we decided that, sorry Jake, can't brag about your date with Bella to your friends," Edward said and I sighed.
"Okay, well we can hang out here until then right?" Jake asked and Edward sighed.
"Emily, can I talk to you?" Edward asked walking off.
"Be right back," Emily said and followed him.
"Well come in," I said and shut the door. We would hang out and then go on our date it was going to perfect.
A/N: How was it? This was a long chapter so be glad! The date won't happen until Chapter 9. Next chapter will be Edward's POV on this chapter. They almost kissed! Edward said she was beautiful numerous times, so reviews?
