Chapter 8
Learning to learn!
Bella
I couldn't stop myself. The thought of spending more time with him was making me agree to spend the night alone with him. Study my ass! How stupid can I be? What are we going to do all night? READ? The only guy I had ever been alone with was Emmett. And he doesn't count. My stomach was flying. I couldn't even relax in the shower. I wrapped myself in a towel, still cursing at myself, while I flung the door open, only to be met by a very angry blond.
"How could you agree to do anything with that punk!" Rosalie's arms were crossed over her chest and she was tapping her foot on the hardwood.
"I don't know. I just thought it would be interesting." I pushed past her and headed into my room. She was right on my heals.
"You don't even know him." She was beginning to sound like a mother.
"Not really, but we both know that Em would never let me hang out with anyone that he thought wasn't safe." I pulled my good dark wash jeans and a red shirt out of my dresser.
"Yes, but Emmett isn't very intelligent sometimes. You will be alone here with him. What if he tries something, or what if you have a…" I turned to her and raised my hand, stopping her rant.
"Look, mom, I appreciate what you're doing. But I am a big girl. Do you expect me to never have any guy friends other than Jazz?" She shook her head and looked at the floor. "I know what he did earlier was stupid, but it was also an accident, which he has apologized several times for. I just want to give him a chance to be a really good friend to me. At the moment I don't expect anything else from him."
"Ok, but if he tries anything, you kick him in the balls." She smiled at me.
"Don't worry, last time someone tried to do something to me, Felix gave them a piece of his mind." She laughed, then turned and left my room. I had gotten to know Rosalie over the years, as she was dating Emmett. She can be really sweet, and then… she can scare me. But if they get married, I couldn't ask for a better cousin-in-law.
I got dressed and decided to do something drastic. I went to Alice's room and found her in front of her mirror.
"Hey Alice, do you think you have time to blow dry my hair." I smiled at her in the mirror. She squealed and jumped at me. She grabbed my shoulders and pushed me down into a small pink chair she kept in her bathroom.
"So are you excited to have your first study date?" She started to brush out my hair.
"Yeah. But I'm a little nervous though. Maybe I should have asked him to study with me at school." I blushed and looked at the floor.
"Oh don't worry. Just relax and be yourself. Try to have a normal conversation with him. Before you know it, you'll be talking about all kinds of stuff. You may even have a lot in common." I shrugged my shoulder, and she turned on the blow dryer. It only took her forty minutes to blow out my hair. Then she pinned some of it back off my face.
"Thanks Alice, you're awesome." She kissed my cheek and went back to her primping.
The girls were busy getting ready, affectively leaving me alone to think, A LOT. Where should we study? If we did it at the table it would be formal. If we did it on the couch it would be comfortable. Or there is always my room…No stop that! Maybe I should just let him chose.
When five came around, I was startled by a loud knock at the door. Felix jumped up and ran to the door barking. I opened the door only to be met by Emmett and Jasper grinning at me. I looked past them just in time to see Edward getting out of a cute silver Volvo. Well, he has good tastes in cars! Em and Jazz walked in past me, both giving me a wink as they did. They are not going to make this easy for me, are they!
Edward came jogging up the stairs with his book bag slung over his shoulder. He smiled at me when he reached the door. I smiled back and waved him in. God his eyes amazing!
"Thanks for doing this for me, I suck at English Lit." He smiled and looked down at his feet.
"Don't thank me until after we are done and you actually learn something." I smiled at him. He let out a short laugh and moved into the living room, placing his bag in my favorite chair.
