Hey guys don't skip this message. I only got 4 reviews. But I got a lot of alerts, so you girls obviously like it, so why not review to? So I will not be finishing the story unless I get another six within the next 24 hours. Here is the thing I know some of you think that because I have lots of readers they will review and so you don't, because you believe that I get my ten reviews. Guys all I need is a yes or a no! That's it. So for you 4 who reviewed I will post a segment of Serious. So I suggest you all seriously review!! Last chance; come Monday evening if I don't have six more reviews I will discontinue. Thanks to Redhead Obsession, jc55, lotus-petals, fluffylove151. You guys have been great and totally made my day by reviewing.
Love,
Angela
He finally called, but I still wasn't relieved. Some thing was wrong, even though he asked me out to dinner; there was something in his voice. Maybe he was just nervous. He said he had something to tell me.
The next morning I called Jessica to see if she wanted to go into Port Angelus with me to find a dress. It had to be perfect, just like me and Ben. She picked me up and we head off to the only mall close to us. If it even counted as a mall.
"So, I went out with Mike again last night. It was so much fine! He is so romantic." Jessica sighed and turned to look out the window. Man she had it bad! Ben had told me that Mike wasn't really into her though; he still had it bad for Bella.
"Jess, I was talking to Ben the other day and he said that he thought that Mike still like Bella." Immediately her face fell. 'Why is it always Bella? Everyone wants to go out with her. She has only lived in Forks, for like a year! Plus she is like glued to Edward." I understood why she was upset; Mike had been the point of interest since Edward had turned her down in ninth grade.
"Jess, maybe you should go out with someone different. What about Tyler? Last time I heard, he was single and liked you." She just shook her head and turned back to the road. I really was just trying to keep her from getting hurt.
"You, have no idea how lucky you are Ange, Ben is perfect! He calls you everyday and takes you out to dinner all the time." Ha if only she knew we hadn't talked all week. I hadn't told Jess that the first time he had called was last night. "He's smart and sweet and loves you! Sure he might be shorter than you but I wouldn't break up with him, even if someone paid me a million dollars." I laughed at that. Jessica would kill Lauren, her best friend for a million dollars.
"I bet he's going to say the 'L' word or ask you to marry him!" Maybe he was! I think I love him too. Wow I was already nervous and the date wasn't for another six hours.
"Okay, Jess just pay attention to the road. I would rather not die before my date." She wasn't the worst driver but she wasn't the best either.
We drove into the Bloomingdale's parking lot and got out. It wasn't very crowded since it was a Friday morning. I got out of the passenger's seat. Jessica started talking about our trip to the beach, where I first met Embry.
"I actually saw him yesterday! He looked so hot! Maybe you're right Angela! I should use Embry to make Mike jealous." My heart dropped when she said his name. "Jessica I didn't tell you to make Mike jealous!" She stopped and looked up at me with a confused glance and shrug. "I think maybe we should go to the beach and invite all the La Push kids!! I want to get a cute two piece to wear. So I can get Embry to like me and make Mike want me." When had Jess turned into a slut? She was never like this last year.
We walked into the juniors department and I began to wander around. "Hey Ange what do you want the dress to say."
"I don't know. This dress has to say I know you love me, but I'm not desperate. If he is going to propose, it can't say I'm waiting for it, ask me already." I flipped through racks while Jess looked on the other side.
Unconsciously I pulled out a light pink dress with fuchsia flowers scattered on it. It was a spaghetti strap with a thick fuchsia ribbon that sat under the bust. It had an empire waist. I knew it was the one.
"Jess! I think I found it!" I held it up to show her and she gasped. "Omg, it is perfect! Ben's going to die when he sees it!" I ran to the dressing room to find out if it fit. I pulled it over my head and looked into the mirror.
About ten minutes later I was waiting in line to buy my dress. Jessica had wandered off to the shoe area to find a pair of flats for me to wear. They were the only type of shoe I could wear since Ben was so much shorter than me.
After paying I joined Jess and we looked for shoes for an hour. "I can't believe we haven't found anything! No white or silver. I would settle for ivory if that means finding something." I could Jessica was losing patience. I remembered I had a pair of silver flip-flops, they weren't the most elegant shoe but they would do. "Jess, I have a cute pair of flip-flops that will work. I think we should go because I still have to paint my nails." She nodded and we walked to the door. She was so tired of looking for shoes she didn't talk the entire ride home.
When she pulled into my hose she stopped the engine and turned to me. "Hey call me the minute you get home! I want to here everything! Unless he proposes and then I expect you to drive to my house to show me the ring!" I laughed and she smiled and unlocked the door.
"Okay Jessica I will call you the minute I get home, unless he proposes, and in that case you will be the first to know." I got out of the car and walked into my house. No one was home and it was nice to get ready in silence. Thoughts were racing through my head at a million miles a minute. My heart started racing when I heard the door open. But it was just my mom. I looked at the time and the clock in the family room said six. Two more hours until he came to pick me up.
I was sweating and so I hopped back into the shower and then had to redo my make up and hair, which had become flat. I couldn't help it, I was so nervous and realized too late I had started getting ready to early. I re-curled my hair and put some light pink eye shadow on my eyelids.
I packed my purse with lip gloss, a mirror, a small brush, and mints. I checked the clock again and it said seven thirty. Only thirty more minutes to go and Ben was always early.
Eight o-clock came, and then eight fifteen, and then finally he showed up.
"Wow Angie bear you look great!" Ben said when I opened the door. We walked out to the car. "Sorry I am late, my mom wanted to talk to me."
"It's okay, I don't have a curfew since it's the weekend. We can stay out as long as we want." I walked to the passenger side of the car and waited for him to open my door. He got in the car and rolled down the passenger window. "Hey are you getting in the car?" I was shocked. He always opened my door. Maybe he was nervous, so I just got in and he turned on the engine and we drove off towards Port Angelus.
