I never told rose about what happened at the wedding because I was still processing it myself but as usual she could tell when something was bothering me. I don't know why I mean I agreed to go but now I was having doubts about it, my conscious was telling me to be careful and my head was telling me to take a risk and my heart was telling me it wasn't ready for any extra baggage.
"Bella" rose called
I was still thinking over my problem.
"Bella!"
"Oh, sorry"
"What on that mind of yours?"
Well here goes nothing
"You remember the wedding I went to?"
"Yes, what about it"
"Well I met someone"
"What, really!"
"Not exactly, I met him before when I bumped into him outside "
"Aww it's like fate"
"Get real rose, anyway he asked me out…"
"Bella Swan, You have a date?"
"No, yes, no" I struggled
"Sweetie you remember that talk we had" rose began
"I know I know, that's why I told him yes!"
She smiled "I'm proud of you"
"let me finish, I told him yes but it won't be as a date, as friends getting to know each other and now I'm not so sure anymore" I finished lamely
"What aren't you sure about?"
"Everything!" I said exasperated
"it's been three years Bella and you should be over it by now, I know your past will come to haunt you sometimes but only if you let it! But if you're not sure then I guess you're not ready and I won't push you" she turned away
I sighed "I'm sorry rose..." I begin
She cut me off "don't apologize, Bella you should do this for you, so you can move on, not because me and Emmett said so, I'm sorry if I put pressure on you"
That was the last time we talked about it but on Friday she brought it up
"Just out of curiosity, what's he like?"
"He's nice" I said stalling
"Bella details, is he ugly or hot tall or short..." she pressed
"His name is James he's tall and handsome and he has the prettiest eyes I've ever seen and he seems nice"
"What color are they?"
"They are like honey with little specks of hazel"
"Definitely pretty"
"Do you want to come with me and Emmett?" she asked
"To where"
"It's Friday, were going out dinner and club"
"Oh sounds nice but it's okay, I don't want to be the third wheel"
She smiled "you wouldn't have to be a third wheel if you had a date" she quipped
"Ha"
"Bye Bella"
"Have fun"
The conversation came to me again while I was home, when was the last time I went out? Or had fun and I said it didn't have to be a date, it could be with friends getting to know each other and with that thought I grabbed his card and went to make a call.
