Chapter 8: Shop till you drop
Monday : 5:30 am
APOV
I was up before everyone. Last night was just so perfect I couldn't help it. Today we were all going out as couples for the day. Then coming back for dinner together tonight.
I hopped into the shower and took my good old time. I couldn't stop thinking about my walk with Jasper last night it was completely amazing. I mean I did feel bad about interrupting Eddie and Bells, but I saw that they made up for it later. But that walk…
--
"So Jasper, how are you liking our little family vacation so far?" I asked. I was a little nervous to be alone with this god. I couldn't take my eyes off his face. His beautiful deep blue eyes sparkled on the dimly lit dock.
"I am having so much fun Alice. You have no idea how thankful I am that you allowed me to be apart of this. I feel so welcome and I'm pretty sure I will never look at volleyball the same way again." He looked and me and gave me a cutest little smirk I have seen in my life. I couldn't help the blush that crept up my neck.
"Just to let you know, that was a one time thing. You will never be seeing Bells and I play like that again. We do take our volleyball seriously, and when our training starts up for collage, you can't touch us. We are a great team." I was rambling. Why did he make me so nervous. I am Alice Cullen for crying out loud, I don't get nervous.
"Where are you going to collage?" He was really listening to me. I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face. I gestured for him to come with me to the end of the dock and sat down just looking out at the lake.
"Seattle University. Go Redhawks!" I cheered, with a little giggle. He joined me on the end of the dock and laughed at my silliness. "I'm excited, it should be fun and Bells and I together should really help their team out."
"I go there as well. Maybe I will be able to catch a game or two if that is fine with you. I could be your own personal cheerleader." He said as he winked at me.
A shiver went down my spin, and I couldn't tell if it was from him or because the wind picked up around the lake. Jasper must have noticed because he hesitantly put his arm around me and started rubbing the side of my arm that wasn't covered. I looked at him and gave him a smile and leaned a little more into him.
"So what are you going to school for?" I asked him continuing the conversation.
"I major in history. I love learning about our past, and to be able to get other people to understand and care about the right and wrong things that have happened would be something truly amazing for me." He said starting off at the lake.
"So you want to be a history teacher?" I asked just clarifying what I already knew.
"Yep, how about you? I know your not going to SU just for volleyball. What are you going to major in?" he asked as he look back at me. I knew that the shiver that went threw my body that time was from him and not the wind. "Do you want to go back inside?" how sweet is he. Oh I know I'm falling.
"We can if you want. But there is no rush as along as you keep your arm around me." I said looking into his eyes and giving him my innocent smile. Of course he gave me his dazzling smile as he stood up and offered me his hand. He helped me up and then put his arm back around my shoulders.
"So what are you going to school for?" he asked again.
"Oh, yeah... well I am going to major in management and miner in marketing. Bells and I want to open our own business." I added feeling pretty proud of myself.
"What kind of business did you guys want to start?" he asked. He seemed really intrigued by the idea.
"We have tossed out a couple ideas. I want to open clothing store with my own creations. Bells as clumsy as she is, is a beautiful dancer and would love to open a dance studio. One idea that we both got excited about, and we wouldn't have a problem doing is, opening a center for children that have lost family members or loved ones. Bells and I feel the need to help anyway we could. I mean seeing what Bells and Em have gone threw and how they both handled it differently, and how Bells is still dealing with it. We would like to help in anyway we can. Giving children an outlet to put that energy and emotion into something they love. So we both get part of what we want, and we are helping humanity as well." I didn't even noticed when we stopped walking. Jasper was just staring at me. I couldn't tell the emotion that was going threw his eyes but I was pretty confident that it was good.
"Alice you… you are simply an amazing women. I have so much respect for everything that you and Edward do. And I hope you will let me help all I can when you get this up and going. I will even help before then if you will let me." He said, almost pleading.
"Wow, Jazz thank you. I would really like that." I said with a dreamy look in my eye I'm sure. I was startled out of my thought when a loud boom came from the sky and bright red flairs showered and fell dimming graduly. FIREWORKS! "Oh.my.gosh. I totally forgot there are fireworks tonight. We have to go tell the others." I said as I grabbed Jazz's hand and we ran back inside.
--
I was broken from my thoughts when I heard pounding on the bathroom door.
"ALICE! Are you ok in there." She yelled. "Alice, if you do not answer me this minute I am running to get Edward and he will knock this door down!"
SHIT! How long have I been in the shower? Shit, shit, shit. I turned off the water, got out, and grabbed a towel wrapping it around me and I flew to the door unlocking it and threw it open.
Bella looked at me with tear filled eyes, and then flung her arms around my neck as she started yelling at me.
"What were you thinking? Why didn't you answer me at all? Do you have any idea what was going threw my head? God Alice I thought you knocked yourself out and were drowning. Alice, I thought I was going to lose you!" she said as she fell to her knees bring me down with her.
"I am so very sorry Bells. I was thinking about last night. I didn't even hear you yelling at first. I am so so very sorry. You aren't going to lose me ok sweetie. I promise I will out live you ok. How about that." I tried to laugh, but Bella wasn't having it. She was glaring at me threw her wet eye lashes, as I tried to whip away his tears with my towel. "Ok I'm sorry its not funny."
"What are you doing up so early anyway?" She asked as she calmed herself down.
"I couldn't sleep anymore. To excited about my day date with Jasper. Oh and Bells I am so sorry about walking in on you and Edward. I hope I didn't ruin anything to much. I so didn't want to pull an Emmett. I seriously thought they were still with you guys. I am so sorry-" Bella held up her hands palms facing me telling me to stop.
"Its fine. We well made up for it after you left so no worries ok." She said as she started to blush and bit her bottom lip. I couldn't help myself I was jumping up and down at the news clapping my hands. Bella put her hands on my shoulders, "Calm down Alice. Its to early."
"Ok… now lets get up, I'm going to finish getting ready and then we can get you all fixed up for you date with Edward ok?" She nodded and gave me a hug before we got up.
She must have had some talk with Jasper yesterday. Jasper wouldn't tell me what they talked about last night though. He said that it wasn't his place to tell me, and he was sorry but he felt that he owed Bella that much. I could respect that but Bells wouldn't tell me either. I guess maybe it was easier for her to talk to someone she wasn't so close to, and that made sense to me. But it still hurt.
Monday: 7:00am
JPOV
I stepped out of the bathroom, towel wrapped around my waist while I had another around my neck. I looked over to Edward's bed and he was still sleeping.
"Hey man, you should get up… I'm sure Alice has Bella up and soon to be ready for you to take her out." I said. I heard him grunt and put the pillow over his head. I let out a heavy sigh and walked over to the night stand to pick up my cell phone. "Look, I'm going to get dressed, if you are not in that shower by the time I am done getting dress I will be calling Alice over. Got it?"
"FINE! Geez, Bells likes to sleep in too you know." He said throwing his pillow in my direction and dragging his lazy ass into the bathroom slamming the door behind him.
All I could do was laugh as I walked over to my closet to find something to wear. Alice had an eye for style. She wanted to start her own clothing line for crying out load. I need to look really good for her. I guess technically this would be our first official date. I never worried about this stuff before. Not that I have been on many dates, but those few that I have been on, I never worried about those things.
Last night was more fun then I have had with anyone in my life. Alice made me laugh so much, and talking just came so easy for us. When it was silent it didn't feel awkward at all. I was completely comfortable with her, yet she made me so nervous.
I guess I could just wear what I normally would wear for a date, and if she needs to improve I am more then happy to let her.
First I went to my dresser and pulled out my white Hurley t-shirt. It was comfortable and if I was going to be able to be myself around her, I needed to be comfortable. I went to the next drawer down and pulled out my dark denim jeans, and a pair of white boxers. I went back to my closet. I had a feeling the t-shirt alone would be to casual for someone like Alice so I hunted threw my hangers and found my blue and white plaid button up. I kept the top two buttons undone.
Before I was able to grab my socks and shoes, the bathroom door opened and Edward walked out completely naked.
"Whoa, man warn a guy before you do that!" I yelled as I shielded my eyes from him.
"Well I wouldn't have to come out here like this if someone didn't take all the towels."
Oops. I couldn't help myself, I had to laugh. I didn't even realize I took all the towels. And now he was dripping wet with nothing on.
"Hey I will call Em and see if he can bring over an extra towel or two." I said as I laughed and grabbed the hotel phone on the nightstand.
"Alice will approve by the way. It's good that you can dress yourself and she won't need to dress you. Not that she wont try to do it anyway." He said as he looked at me. I still hadn't looked at him. I am totally fine with my masculinity, I had no problem with that. It's just if I don't have to look at a male's birthday suit, then I would rather not.
"Thanks." I said as the phone rang.
"Hello?" it was Rose and she sounded like she was still asleep.
"Hey Rose, I'm sorry I woke you up. I had a question for you." I asked kind of timidly. I didn't want the wrath of Rosalie Hale.
"Sure shoot." She said. She must have had a good night last night.
"Do you have any extra towels? I kind of left Edward with none and now he is just walking around the room naked." I heard silence for a second then her laughter. Then I heard Em mumble something. Rose must have put her hand over the mouth piece because I heard her mumble something back and then Em's booming laugh filled the ear piece so loud that I had to hold it away from my ear. Edward must have heard it and he walked over to me and pulled the phone from my hand. I jumped back to the far side of the bed. I didn't want to bump anything accidentally.
"Look Rose I just need one towel. Will you tell Em to get his ass over here so I could get dressed? Please!" He begged. I don't know what she said but she must have agreed. He let out a sigh and thanked her before he hung up and went back into the bathroom.
Sitting there waiting for one of the two to bring the towel. I started to think about things that happened last night with Alice and I.
--
"Wow Jazz, aren't they amazing?" Alice asked as we walked back down to the dock to watch the fireworks over the lake. Well, she was watching, I was watching her. I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
"Yeah, amazing." I said absentmindedly. She looked at me and I gave her a little shy smile, and she gave me her bright heart warming smile back. "So, your boyfriend couldn't come on the trip this weekend?" I asked. I know it was stupid, but I couldn't help but second guess myself. I didn't know if I would have to work extra hard to win her over or not. I would do pretty much anything to get her to be mine.
She giggle at my question, "No you silly, my perfect man has not swept me off my feet YET." She said with a smirk on her face.
"And what is your perfect man like?"
"Let's see, Tall, Blue eyes, and Blond hair… how about that? Good enough description for you?"
"Sounds familiar." I said with a smile on my face. I looked her in the eyes and I knew she was talking about me. I needed to sweep her off her feet. How the heck am I going to do that? Shit, I can't screw this up. I took her one hand with my free one and held her finger tips in the palm of my hand. My thumb was rubbing soothingly over her knuckles. "Alice, would it be alright if I took you on a real date, perhaps tomorrow. I know day dates are supposed to be for friends, but I didn't want to mess up your plans. But I also didn't want to wait until we were back from vacation, so-"
Alice put up her free hand, palm facing toward me, telling me to stop. "I would love to go on a day date with you Jasper. It sounds like fun." She said excitedly.
I lifted her hand that I had in mine, and brought it up to my lips and left a gentle kiss on her fingers and whispered against them. "Thank you."
The rest of the night she just leaned against my side until the fireworks ended. She had fallen asleep on my shoulder so I carried her back to the jeep. We all left together with Alice still asleep in my arms. I never wanted her to leave this spot.
--
Knock, knock
I was broken out of my day dream by the knock at the door. I still hadn't put my socks and shoes on because I was so lost in my memories. I walked over to the door and opened to a half naked Emmett with the biggest grin on his face.
"Em I have seen enough naked guys this morning, couldn't you have put at lest pants on?" The only fabric that was covering… himself, was some black boxer briefs. He laughed and pushed his way past me and went to the bathroom.
"EDWARD, you owe me big time fore this!" Em yelled while banging his fist on the bathroom door.
The door flew open, I went straight to the bed putting on my socks and shoes.
"God Emmett, couldn't you put cloths on?!" Edward yelled. I assumed he went to shut the door on Emmett but I am thinking the thud was Emmett's hand against the door.
"I could say the same to you."
"Ok guys, I will leave you with your gay moments I'm going to go pick up Alice now." I said as they were arguing with each other after Edward had wrapped the towel around his waist.
APOV
Jazz came and picked me up around 7:30, which is major points for him. I was so happy that he wanted to spend time with just me, plus he complimented Bella on her outfit and told her that Edward was getting ready and he would be over soon. Major times 10 points for looking out for Bella as well. He is so thoughtful.
"Hey Jazz, where are we going?" I asked as we walked out of the hotel and onto the busy sidewalk. For us it was vacation but for people living here it was just another work day. Haha.
"Well, you have scheduled so many activities for us this weekend, I thought you would like a shopping break. If that's ok with you, if you want to do something else that is fine too." He said nervously.
I was speechless. I didn't even realize I had stopped walking. I was just staring him in the eyes. I know I am crazy about Bella's wardrobe but how did he figure I need a shopping fix?
"Alice, are you ok? We don't have to-" I cut him off by jumping up and down squealing in all my excitement.
"Oh.my.gosh. Jazz that is totally perfect. You read my mind. Thank you so much for planning that. Really I don't know what to say, but thank you!" I was rambling. I was still a loss for words.
"It's fine Alice. Come on lets get a move on, shopping isn't the only thing I have planned for us today." He was with a smirk on his face. I would have been satisfied with just the shopping trip, but I wasn't about to argue with him.
The mall we went to was really close to the hotel, so anything I bought they were able to send right to my hotel room. Bella is going to freak when she can't get into our bedroom. I was hitting my last store which of course was Victoria Secrets, or VS as we call it so my brother and Bell's brother don't freak on us for shopping there. I wasn't sure if Jazz was going to be ok with going in there or not with me. So I grabbed his hand and walked him in. He didn't put up a fight at all, he walked proudly right by my side. That was refreshing.
"Do you mind if I shop here? I need to pick out some stuff for Rose and Bells." I wasn't about to tell him I was shopping for myself as well. It was too soon for that.
"No be my guest. I will just go find one of the really comfortable chairs and have a seat. If that's ok with you, I would really rather not picture anything Bells and Rose could possibly be wearing." He half laughed, but I think he was serious. I had to laugh at his attempt to laughing off the images.
"No problem. I will get you when I'm done, ok?" I smiled sweetly at him and squeezed his hand before I walked off. Jazz was truly perfect for me. And we are going to be going to the same school. This is completely awesome and I just know, he is my soul mate. He is the one I am supposed to be with.
I had picked out Rose and Bells "outfits" but I couldn't find the perfect one for myself. It was disappointing, I usually never had a problem picking anything for myself before and I was started to get upset. I decided to go find Jazz and tell him I was paying when I spotted him with one of the employees. To say I got a little jealous was an understatement. She was all over my man! Ok well he wasn't mine, but still this was supposed to be our day date. I huffed my way over and I noticed that Jazz was holding something in his hand and the employee walked away from him.
"What do you have there Jazz?" I was all feelings of jealousy gone when I saw what he was holding. It was the cutest pick plain babydoll I had ever seen.
"I had a feeling you would like this, so I asked one of the workers to help me find one that was about your size since I didn't know that… yet." He whispered that last word, I think she couldn't hear but I did and I was elated to know that he was thinking about that. I know, I know, what boy isn't. But hey he is gorgeous, plus he has been nothing but nice to me. He hasn't even tried to kiss me yet, so to know he was physically attracted to me was a big ego buster.
"Wow, thank you so much. I was having such a hard time trying to find something. Let me see, yes perfect size too. Thank you Jazz!" I gushed, just to be positive he knew how much it means to me I stepped closer to him, I could hear him inhale deeply but it never came back out. I reached up for his neck, he was really rather tall but I loved it, and pulled him down and gave him a little peck on the cheek. I know I wanted more… the little peck was not satisfying but it would have to do for now. I pulled away and just looked up at him with a huge smile. He looked back at me with a genuine smile and adoring eyes.
"So how about some lunch?" Jazz asked as we walked out of the mall. "I don't know about you but I'm pretty hungry."
"That would be great. What did you have in mind?" Lunch, when I shop I don't even think about food. And now that he brought it up I was really hungry.
"Alice, do you trust me?" Jazz asked. I thought it was a random question and he caught me off guard. All I could do was nod, as words were hard to form at the moment. "Good, don't ask questions and just fallow me. I kind of set something up for us." Wow, that was rather hot if I do say so myself. For Jazz to take charge like that, it sent a shiver down my spine.
He grabbed my hand and led me to the corner of the street. Then we crossed the road and walked a couple more blocks until the buildings started to disappear and you saw more grass, trees and dogs.
"Awww, look at that puppy over there Jazz. Isn't it just the cutest thing you have ever seen?" I have always wanted to dog. There really was no reason why we never had one growing up. We were just not home enough… I guess.
"You like dogs? I didn't know that." Jazz said. "I used to have a dog when I was growing up. They really are the best animals."
"Are we having lunch here?" I asked Jazz, as we got closer to a picnic that looked like it was set up for two.
"Yes we are. I hope that you don't mind."
"Of course not, that is perfect."
JPOV
It was crazy how nervous Alice was making me. Our conversation throughout lunch was amazing. I found out more about what kind of dogs Alice likes, and one day she would own one.
"So what kind of dog would you like to have?" I asked.
"I have always wanted a big dog. I really don't care what kind really, but it would have to be a big dog. I can't stand those small yippy dogs. They are so annoying sometimes." She rambled on with excitement. It was so adorable the way she got excited about the littlest thing. "What about you? Do you want any animals?"
"I would love to have a dog again someday." I said, remembering back to my younger days with my family and my best friend, Toby.
"Again?"
"Yeah, I had a chocolate lab growing up. He was my best friend." I didn't want to talk to much more about it, and I think she could sense that. She reached over the table and lightly touched my hand. The sweetest smile spread across her face.
"This is the best picnic I have ever been on, Jazz. Thank you again for this." She purred. I couldn't help the grin that was now plastered on my face.
"Only the best for you, Alice." She squeezed my hand before she pulled it away. Looking down at her plate of food I noticed she had a slight blush go across her cheeks. "Hey do you want to play a little game?"
"Sure!" she said as she looked up at me again.
"Ok I am going to say a word, and you tell me the first thing that pops into your mind." I explained.
"Ok, you start."
I looked around me for some ideas. "Lake…"
"Boat."
I raised my eyebrow at her questioning her answer.
"I didn't know explaining each answer was part of the game." She challenged with a smile tugging at her lips.
"Fine, ummm… Apple…"
"Banana."
"Red…"
"Rosalie."
"Now you have to explain that one to me." I pleaded.
"She just reminds me of red. Maybe because she wears it all the time or because it's her favorite color. Either way Rosalie is red to me." She said and a giggle slipped her lips on that last statement.
After some more word play and embarrassments between the both of us, I noticed the clouds rolling in. The wind had picked up but it was still hot, and humid which was giving the air a sticky feeling. I thought Alice might not want to get caught in the rain.
"As much as I hate to take you back to the others so early..." It was only around 2 o'clock, "I didn't think you wanted to get caught in the rain storm that looks like it will be heading this way. It's going to hit soon." I told her.
"Oh well, we should clean up so we can head back." I nodded and helped her start clearing the picnic table. Once we were done, I grabbed Alice's hand and we started walking, slowly I might add, to the entrance of the park.
"What should I be wearing this evening?" I asked. I knew we were going out, I just didn't know wear.
"I would say something nice, a little dressy but not suit and tie type of thing, and dancing shoes." She chirped.
I smiled at her and nodded my head. Tonight was going to be a great night. I couldn't help but notice that we couldn't stop touching each other. Whether it be a brush of the arm, holding hands, or anything as simple as her wiping the sauce off the corner of my mouth after I had taken a bite. It was so little, but it meant so much more then she could have possibly known. I needed to make my feelings known.
No sooner did the entrance come into sight did it start to drizzle. I knew it was going to down poor soon, I could just tell by the way the clouds were looking. I started to walk a little faster, but Alice was not walking nearly as fast. I knew for a fact that her little legs could move faster than they were just by running around the mall with her today. I looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't mind getting a little wet, it's refreshing with this hot weather, if you don't mind." I just smiled at her. The rain was very refreshing and so was her attitude. Sure, she was very fashion forward and all, but she didn't mind getting a little dirty, and that was such a turn on. I could not help but stare at her lips as we slowly started to walk again.
I stopped again, and Alice stopped as well and turned, looking confused. "What's wrong Jazz?" she asked with concern dripping in her voice.
"I was just wondering… well." I was so nervous. "nevermind, lets go." I started walking again. I was killing myself, should I ask to kiss her? Would she rather I just do it? Would she think I was to controlling, or I was expecting more from her? What is the right think to do here? Does she even want me to kiss her? God I should have talked to someone about this before hand.
Alice wasn't saying anything, she just kept throwing side glances at me. I knew she thought I was loosing my mind. Alice stopped again right in front of the beautiful pond we passed on the way in with at least half a dozen ducks swimming around.
"Jazz, what on earth is wrong? Did I upset your or something?" She looked upset and confused.
"Oh God, no, Alice, I'm sorry. I have a lot on my mind. You did absolutely nothing wrong. You have been so wonderful going along with everything I had planned today." I reassured her and I whipped some of the rain off her cheeks. I could feel her lean into my hand a bit before she nodded and took a step to walk away but I pulled her back before she could go any further. It was now or never.
She turned and looked me in the eyes. Her eyes were so beautiful, almost like emeralds. I lifted both my hands to her face. My thumbs caressing her cheeks as I leaned closer to her face. I whispered as our lips were only inched apart. "Alice, may I kiss you?" She said nothing just nodded in my hands as I felt a shiver run threw her body. I took that as a good sign and I gently brought my lips to her finally closing the space between us. Touching the soft pinks lips I have been dreaming about since the day I meet her was heave. I didn't push my luck though. I kept it short and sweet, but when I pulled away I didn't pull away too far, only keeping a couple inches between us. I slid my hands down from her face and took both of her hands into mine.
Alice slowly opened her eyes, but looking up at me was hard for her because of the rain. But she kept eye contact anyway, and what she did next I was not expecting. Her whole face lit up, her smile was breath taking, and then she dropped my hands and wrapped her arms around my neck putting her fingers threw my hair as she pulled me down. Our lips joining together again with more passionate emotion. It was like nothing I have ever felt before. She was completely in charge and when she slid her tongue across my bottom lip, I didn't hesitate to grant her entrance. Our tongues moved together, exploring each other with our new experiences. Excitement started to fill my body, and I knew I had never felt this way for anyone before.
When we broke apart we were both breathing heavy. Oxygen was defiantly needed. I never broke eye contact with her. Her smile was so reassuring and I couldn't help the smile that was spreading across my own face.
APOV
The walk back to the hotel was silent, but not uncomfortable. We had are fingers interlocked and every now and then I would peak at him from under my eyelashes. He really was a beautiful man.
"Alice?" Jasper said as we approached the door to my room.
"Hmmm?" I answered back. I wasn't able to form any other words once I looked into his eyes.
"Would you honor me by going on a second date sometime?" He asked with a pleading smile on his face. It was so adorable when he didn't know what I would answer, even though I thought it would be fairly obvious.
I smiled sweetly up at him. "I would absolutely love that." I said. I ran the hand he wasn't holding up his arm and I rose to my tip toes so he would get what I wanted. He freed his hand once he realized what I was hinting at and cupped my check before he gently molded his lips to mine. It was sweet, and worm and perfect. He never even pushed for more or to take things further.
"Hey you two get a room!" Em yelled from down the hall making both Jazz and I to basically jump out of our skins.
"GOSH, Emmett get a life." I yelled. I looked up at Jazz and pulled him down one more time for a quick peck on the lips before I went into my room, glaring at Em as I walked in.
I put my purse down and looked at all the bags that I had all over the floor. "I wonder where my VS gifts are for my girls?" I thought out load. Yes I talk to myself, ALL the time.
I found the bags over near Bella's bed. Thank goodness she didn't get back before me. She probably would have been able to tell that I got her many things just by looking at half the cloths that I got. When I lifted the two bags off the floor I noticed Bella's phone. It must have fallen out of her purse when Edward picked her up this morning, or whenever he did.
When I picked her phone up, I started to walk over to her night stand to set it down when it beeped at me. I looked down at the screen to see Jake's name in it.
"Oh no you don't buddy boy. You have caused enough trouble, you psycho."
I flipped her phone open, I know… I know. Invasion of privacy, but this is Bella. I know that's no excuse but I am trying to look out for her. I know for a fact Jake is no good, and she doesn't listen to me. She doesn't see him when he knows she's not around.
She had a bunch of text messages from him and quit a few missed calls as well.
Bells,
Hey babe, I have the best news ever.
We are going to be going to the same college in the fall.
Isn't that awesome.
Where is your dorm going to be?
Jake
Oh no, this isn't good. I hit delete and read the next message.
Bells,
Hey why haven't you answered my txt or calls?
I wanted to talk about Friday night with you.
Jake
I know I didn't want to go before, but I'm starting to get a really bad feeling about Friday night. I might have Edward invite Jasper to go as well.
Bella,
Answer your damn phone!
Jake
"Who does he think he is?"
Isabella,
This is ridiculous!
You have always answered when I called before.
What are you doing?
Answer that damn phone of yours.
Jake
"Wow" I couldn't read anymore. I just deleted her entire inbox. And erased all her voice mails. Bella does not need this kind of drama right now. Things are just getting somewhere with my brother. I refuse to let some psycho freak mess things up.
I put Bells phone on the night stand and started to unpack all my bags. It took me a good hour and a half to two hours. But I also had to run Rose her gift and hide Bella's. After unpacking I took a shower and changed out of my wet cloths and into my outfit I was going to wear tonight.
I was passing the door waiting for Bella to get back. "What the hell are they doing? Dinner is soon and I have to get Bells ready!" I said frustrated and ran my hands threw my hair and I let out a big sigh.
"Chill Alice. Just be happy that they are doing something. This is a big step for them." Rose said.
Then I heard voices in front of our door. It was them and I flew to the door, startling Rose a bit. I cracked the door to make sure it was them, then I grabbed Bella's hand. "You are so late come on Bella!" I pulled her threw glared at my shocked brother and slammed the door in his face.
"Hey!" Bella yelled at me.
Knock knock
Bella got out of my grip and ran to the door throwing it open. Edward was there glaring at me like I had done to him. I just crossed my arms in front of my chest and tapped my foot. Edward got this mischievous look in his eye, then looked at Bella.
"I had a great time Bells." He purred, then he leaned down and she rose on her tip toes to meet him half way and they kissed. I was expecting it to be shot and sweet, but no Edward had to be a jerk about it and waist more of my time.
"Alright Bella that's enough, you will see poor Eddie in a few hours."
