'Okay. So why were you in trouble?'
'My girlfriend.' My heart flinched. Why would I have these feelings? What happened to me? 'Tell me, why did you hate me?'
'It's a long story.'
'Well, I am sure I could follow.' He smiled to me.
'Did you remember that you made fun of me on the first day in the academy? I thought it was just a one time thing. But you acted like an arrogant jerk. Every time we had to work together, you always interfere with my job. You…' But I was interrupted by my phone. The caller ID said it was Alice. Did she figured out I wasn't in my bedroom anymore? I smiled apologetically to Edward. 'Excuse me. I have to take this call.' I went out of the diner.
'Swan.'
'BELLA!!!! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU????'
'Chilled, Alice. I have gone back to the department. I was having …' but I was cut off by Alice.
'Bella, come back as soon as you can. Rose and I are going to have a double date tonight…' I looked back in the diner. Edward was on the phone too. He had frown on his face. 'BELLA!!' I was brought back to the phone. 'Bella, did you hear what I had just said?'
'Ahhh… you and Rose are having a date tonight…' I never knew the name of Alice's boyfriend. She always addressed him as Mr. J.
'No. We will have a double date tonight. Mr. J said he want to set a blind date for his friend. He said his friend was a perfect gentleman and considering you are single, so I am setting you a blind date too.'
'What?! Alice, no blind dates. Did you forget what had happened last time? I had to get a restrain order on that guy.'
'Bella. I trust my boyfriend. He said his friend is a gentleman, and then he will be. Okay, this is the last time and I won't bring you to shopping for two months. Please.'
'Alice...'
'Then three months.'
'Alright. But this is the last time.' I added sternly.
'Thank you. You are the best, Bella. Come back as soon as you can. Then I will dress you up.' She hung up before I could say goodbye. I went back in the diner. Edward had finished talking on the phone.
'Edward, I am so sorry. My roommate asked me to go out with her. I have to go now.'
'No, it's okay. I have to go too. Come on, I will walk you back to the department.'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I went back to my unit's office. James was still there.
'I thought you went grabbing something to eat with Cullen.' James said suddenly.
'Is there anything wrong I go and grab something to eat with him?' I couldn't believe he sounded so jealous.
'You hate him. The whole department knows about that. Did he hypnotize you with his pretty face?'
'James, calm down.'
'Or what?' He challenged.
'Or I will call the security.' My words made him took a few steps back. I grabbed my coffee-stained clothes and stuffed them into my messenger bag.
When I wanted to leave the office, James was on the doorway.
'Do you mind?' I referred to the door.
'Tell me, what had he done to you?'
'I don't know what you are talking about. Would you please move? I am in a hurry.' He stepped aside reluctantly. He could never stay in this team. He was too emotional. I knew he had a crush on me on the first day I joined this unit, but I kept saying no to him whenever he asked me out. I just didn't understand why he couldn't let go.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I was standing at my apartment door. I sighed and tried to insert the key. But before I could do so, the door swung opened.
'Bella! You are ho…' Alice was cut off when she saw me. 'Whose clothes are you wearing?'
'It's one of my colleague's'
'What happened?'
'Alice, would you please let me in? I will tell you what happened.' She stepped back and I went in the apartment. 'When did you found me missing?'
'Right before I called you. You haven't answer my question, detective. What happened?'
'When I reached the street, someone bumped on me and I spilled my coffee on me. When I got back to the department, one of my colleagues offered his clothes to me.'
'Don't tell me it's James.' Alice showed a horrified face. I had told her about James before.
'No. I won't accept it even if he begs me to.'
'Then who?'
'You don't know him.' I tried to avoid her question.
'Guys, we are running out of time.' Rose came out of her bedroom. She had all her makeup and a dress. She saved my ass. I had to thank her later.
'Right. Bella, we are not done yet. Now go and have a shower.' I sighed. It's only 4 in the afternoon. There were few hours before dinner. I just didn't get it, why would they need so much time to dress up. I turned tap to the hottest side. The hot water relaxed my muscle. I let the water ran through my body until I ran out of hot water. I put out my sweat pants and a tank top. I dried my hair with the towel. When I walked out of the bathroom, Alice and Rose were waiting for me on the both side of the door. They grabbed my arms, one on each side and brought me to a chair in the middle of the room. Once I was sit in the chair, my hands were cuffed on the arms of the chair. I recognized that those were the cuffs which were supposed to be in my bag. I struggled, but Alice and Rose just smirked at me.
'Let go of me.' I struggled.
'No. You will try to escape. So not a chance.' Rose said as-a-matter-of-fact.
'Alice, I agree to come to you blind date. When I agree, that means I also agree to let you dress me up. So I wouldn't try to escape. Please let go of me. I will be nice. I will listen to you. Please.' I used the negotiate skills on them and it worked every time.
'You know what, Rose? She's right. She said yes to come to the date. I promised I won't take her to any shopping trips in three months. We should let go of her.' She pulled the keys out of her jeans pocket and unlocked the cuffs. How come she had the keys of the cuffs? I got to turn her room upside down to see if there was anything she took from me.
'Thanks, Alice.' They started working on me. Mascara, lip gloss, eye shades, they used everything in their bags on me. Alice worked on my hair. She used the curl iron and I could feel the heat radiate from the iron on my hair roots. I always held myself still when Alice used that iron. The pixie could be very scary when she got mad.
When they finished, it's already six thirty in the evening. Rose went to the walk-in closet to get my dress.
'Bella, close your eyes.' Alice ordered and I followed. Alice and Rose helped me up and fitted me into the dress. After they finished, they led me to another room and shut the door.
'Okay, Bella. You can open your eyes.' I opened my eyes slowly. I was in the bathroom, facing the body length mirror on the door. They got a black and white strapless dress for me. The upper part of the dress was shiny black and the lower part was a tulle white skirt. The dress ended right above the knees. (Pic in Profile!) They also gave me a jacket. It was a navy blue jacket. (Pic in Profile!)
'Wow, Rose, Alice. It is perfect.' I turned to them. But when I saw what's in Alice's hands, I gulped. It was the black pumps in her hands. 'Alice, I don't think I should wear those.'
'No, Bella. You agree to let us dress you up. And these go with the dress.' She had a point. I did agree with letting her dress me up. I sighed and took the pumps from her and put them on. (Pic also in Profile! Check it out)
'That's perfect.' Alice smiled. 'Bella, could you wait us down stairs? We need to get ready.'
'Okay.' I got and paid extra attention to the steps I took. I managed to walk down stairs without break any bones. I sat on the sofa to wait for them.
10 minutes passed, they still hadn't finish. Suddenly, the door opened.
'Bella,' Alice called. 'We still need some more time. But we are getting late. Can you go to the La Bella Italia? You where it is, right?'
'Yeah. I will be there.'
'The reservation was under Brandon. And take my Porsche. The key is on the kitchen counter.' The door was closed again. I sighed and took Alice's car keys.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Hello, Ma'ma. What can I do for you?'
'Yeah. I had a reservation under Brandon.'
'Brandon. Let's see… yeah. Come with me please.' He led me to a table. It was a table for two.
'Excuse me. I think there is a mistake.'
'No. Brandon, a table for two.' Uhh. Alice!!!
'Are there any reservation under Hale or Swan?'
'I will check it for you.' He walked away. I sat down. Why did Alice do that?
'Ma'ma. I am sorry. There is no reservation under Hale or Swan. Will you take the table?'
'Yes. Thank you.'
'Here's the menu.'
'Thank you.' I went through the menu. The dishes were quite nice.
'Bella?' a velvet voice said behind me. I looked up and met with emerald eyes.
Okay, I know what you guys are thinking:'What kind of cliffhanger is that?! Everyone know who was that!!!'. I am so sorry I have to stop here.
If you guys don't like the outfit I picked, tell me what kind of outfit I should pick.
Guys, REVIEW!
