"Bella!" Jasper's voice rang through my phone. I squealed.
"Hey Jazzy!" I said.
"Listen, Ali wants you to come over right now to help set up and prepare food for lunch. Oh yeah and she said no grungy looking clothes and other crap she said you'd know. No sneakers also. You game?" he asked.
"Sure!" I said walking to my room to get ready.
"Great! See you soon. And bring those brownies you made. I know you made some" he said and hung up. Brownie obsessed freak.
After taking a quick shower I put my sevens and my white and gray knit v-neck sweater with a gray tank underneath. Sliding a crystal headband through my hair and swiping on some mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss. I don't give a crap what Alice says I'm wearing my Jack Purcells. Grabbing my iPod and phone off my vanity and throwing them into my purse I went out the door to my Mercedes and sped off to Jasper's house.
"I'm here!" I called opening the door with my key.
"Bella! Come here" Alice called. She was cleaning like a madwoman. And she needed too. This place was a mess. Kimberla was in a laundry basket playing with clothes.
"Get outta there" I cooed to her picking her up and taking off one of Alice's blouses off her little head.
"Alice you have a mad house!" I yelled.
"Oh I know. That's why you have to help watch little Kimmie and prepare food!" she yelled at me.
"why?" I asked.
"Cuz I said so!" she said and went back to running around the house.
"Is mommy sill
"Alice you have a mad house!" I yelled.
"Oh I know. That's why you have to help watch little Kimmie and prepare food!" she yelled at me.
"why?" I asked.
"Cuz I said so!" she said and went back to running around the house.
"Is mommy silly?" I asked my little niece.
"Mommy silly!" she giggled. I smiled at her.
"Bella don't teach her anything I wouldn't" Jasper said through the window in the kitchen.
"Ok ok brother bear" I joked and went back into the fridge.
"Ok well the food is marinating next to the grill" he said through the window.
"Is it covered?! Jasper you have to cover it so bugs don't get it." I said.
"It is! I wrapped the plate with the plastic stuff for food" he said. I sighed.
"Good."
"Has Alice always been like this?" I asked. He chuckled and nodded watching is short pixie wife run around cleaning.
"How do you put up with her?" I asked.
"Love" he said all lovey dovey, jokingly. I opened the screen and ruffled his big curly head.
"Of course." I said.
"When you gettin' a boyfriend?" he asked.
"When will you quit badgering me about that?" I shot back.
"When you actually get a relationship. And when you end it I will badger you more. I want to be able to walk you down the isle before your 30" he said. 25 ain't so bad!
"Jasper" I sighed. I don't really take marriage lightly.
"Bells. It's easy. You get all dressed up. Go to a church. Say your vows and 'I do', kiss and BAM! You're married! Then you have a party, then honeymoon" he said.
"Wow. Anymore things you want to explain to me like a kindergartner?" I asked. He shrugged.
"Just 'cause mom and dad's marriage didn't really work out doesn't mean yours won't. Or Alice's and mine won't. Mom and dad weren't happy together. Mom found Phil and Dad just happened to be in the car at the time. But they were at least friends. Most divorced parents are that civil towards each other, but ours were." He said. I nodded looking at the celery I was cutting.
"Yeah. I know Jazz"
"Bells, let go" he said simply and it went quiet between us. Our parents died. Phil, our step-dad, died too. Renee, our mother, and Phil died in a car accident with Charlie, our dad, in the same car. Jasper and Alice were new parents at the time and I was living with them. I got a call from Uncle Billy saying that they didn't make it. I have been sort of tense about marriage since that happened and the divorce. I always think karma will come back and bite you in the ass.
"C'mon, where's my fun silly little sister?" he asked.
"Only by 2 years" I grumbled.
"Still" he said. I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever"
"We need to talk about this" he said. I shook my head.
"There's nothing to talk-"
"Emmett's in the house!" someone boomed. Jasper laughed and gave me a kiss on the forehead before going to the backyard sliding glass door and greeting his old friends.
"Bella! Thank god I finished!" Alice squealed. I smiled.
"Come on" she said grabbing her daughter and dragging me to the living room. There was a couple with a little girl and a baby boy younger than Kim on the blonde's lap. The man next to the woman had a girl next to him and…MASON!
"Miss Bella!" he yelled and hugged me. I hugged him back.
"Mase, what are you doing here?"
"Daddy said he's visting a old friend" he said.
"Jasper?" I asked. He shrugged.
"Hello again Bella" Edward said. I nodded.
"Hi. Wait. Are you guys the old friends?" I asked. They nodded.
"You've met?" Jasper asked. I nodded.
"Mason goes to the daycare" I said.
"Oh! Oh! That's awesome" he said. I nodded again.
"Hey Bella. I'm Emmett. I didn't introduce myself last time. This is Rose, Henry, and little Lily." He said. I smiled.
"Hi" I said.
"That's my sister, Miss Bella. Emma" Mason said pointing to the girl next to Edward.
"Hello Emma" I said. She smiled shyly.
"Hi Miss Bella" she said.
"Call me Bella. That goes for you too Mason" I said ruffling his bronze head.
"Jasper, she's not that depressed!" Emmett said looking at me. I gasped at looked to Jasper who was rubbing the back of his neck.
"It was when I had to drag you out of bed!" he said. I looked the other way.
"Not my fault you were completely fine" I said.
"Don't retort" I said. He sighed.
"So, how old are you bella?" Rose asked.
"25" I said. She nodded.
"Where's the boyfriend?" Emmett asked.
"Broke up and moved to South Carolina with his new girlfriend" I said simply.
"She didn't let me kick his ass!" Jasper said.
"'Cuz I didn't want him to have his ass kicked. I wasn't good enough for him anyway" I said. They gasped and Aice slapped my arm.
"Shut up! He was a jerk. Standing you up like that" she scolded. I shrugged. It's true. His new girlfriend is a model and tan with perfect blonde hair and sparkling brown eyes. I have pale skin dull brown eyes and plain brown hair.
"Ali, let's not talk about this" I said. She sighed and gave me a look. I smirked at her.
"So what do you guys do?" I asked.
"I'm a mechanic for my friend's business." Rose said. Wow! She was dressed in True Religion skinny's, juicy couture bag, and Jimmy Choos.
"I own a gym, and work out there all the time" Emmett said flexing his muscles.
"Daddy, you have big muscles" Lily said from his lap. He laughed and kissed her blonde head.
"Yes he does" he said. I smiled.
"I'm a pediatrician, taking the doctor business from my dad. They call me Jr. there since my father still works there" Edward said.
"Rose no offence, but you don't look like someone who would work with cars" I said and blushed. She laughed.
"It's ok I get that a lot. I actually love working with cars and I can go on and on about them" she giggled.
"She can. She told me everything about my Volvo that I didn't know." Edward smiled at her.
"Your car's a sissy car" she said.
"Don't hate on the car" he told her.
"Aunt Rose, never hate on daddy's car" Emma giggled.
"I'm not hating I'm just saying. I have a BMW and he has a sissy Volvo" she said.
"Whatever rose" he said.
Most of the night was just talking. I got Rose's number and she said she was going to drag me shopping with Alice. Alice and her just clicked and they talked about clothes. I felt out of the loop but it's just clothes.
"Jasper this was good. It's nice to see you again. Come by the gym" Emmett said giving him a one armed hug. They said their good byes and I decided to go home too.
"Bye Jasper love you" I said and gave him a hug and a kiss. He kissed the side of my head.
"Love you too"
"Bye Ali bye Kimmie" I said giving Alice a hug and kissing Kim's head.
"Nice car Bella. Give me a call." Rose said getting into the Jeep.
"See you Bella, nice to see you again" Edward smiled.
"Bye Miss Bella!" Mason waved from his rolled down window as Edward drove after Rose. Emma stared at me and pushed her ear buds into her ear and rolled up his window. Getting into my car I sped off towards my apartment.
