Sorry I haven't updated in a while…my ideas for the story aren't coming together smoothly. The ideas are coming better for my other story Need You Know. And it doesn't help that I have two more story ideas going on…ugh! But anyways, enjoy and I will try and have another chapter up on Monday.
OH and PS. The places I talk about in the chapters about the trip are all real. I'm from Texas so I had to show some love to my state!
Chapter 8: Deep in the Heart of Texas
The flight wasn't too bad, except Emmett was snoring quite loudly. The nicest thing about the flight: Bella sat next to me and feel asleep on my shoulder. We arrived at the Bush Intercontinental Airport and picked up our rental car. A black Tahoe…Emmett must have had a say in the car. After that, we were headed to College Station.
"Geez, could this drive be any more boring!" Emmett yelled.
"Hey, don't hate on our home man! This…" Jasper gestured with his hands, "is peaceful."
"Whatever," grumbled Emmett.
I looked over at Bella who was nearly bouncing in her seat.
"So, cow crap makes you excited?" I asked.
She made a face. "No. I'm just excited to be back in the South and to be on a trip."
"Been a long time for you?"
She sighed. "Too long."
She looked out the window again and I continued staring at her. We finally pulled into Hilton Hotel and went to check in. Alice bounced over to the check in desk while the rest of us started unloading the luggage. When we walked in Alice handed us guys are room key.
"Ok guys, y'all are in room 1201 and we are in room 1202. So come let's go. We're going out tonight!"
I groaned. "This soon…we just got here."
She huffed. "Yes tonight. The wedding is tomorrow so we will be there and Sunday we are going to the winery here before we head to Houston."
We got into the elevator and headed to our rooms. The girls disappeared into their room while we walked into ours.
"Oh freakin' sweet!!!" Emmett yelled. After you walked in past the bathroom was a staircase leading to a closed off room with a hot tub.
"Score!" We all hurried and changed into our swimsuits.
"Now this is a nice way to start off the trip," Jasper said as he slid into the tub. We all just sat there not saying a word. Then Emmett of course had to go and ruin the peace.
"So Mr. Edward, will we be making a move on one Miss. Bella on this trip?"
My mouth dropped. She wouldn't dare tell him…
"Oh come on, we see the way you look at her."
Whew.
I just shook my head. "No it's not like that. It's complicated."
"What's so complicated about it?" Jasper asked.
I just sighed. "I'd rather not go there right now.
"I'm not trying to really go there…"Jasper started, "but is it still because of Natalie?"
I just looked down. "No, no it's not that." I laughed. "Never thought you'd hear me say that did ya?"
Emmett and Jasper chuckled, though not with much humor.
"Don't worry man, you don't have to tell us," Jasper stated.
"Yet," Emmett added.
I just rolled my eyes. Just then, Jasper's phone started ringing and he answered it.
"Hello? Hey babe. Yeah…ok…ok…yeah I'll tell them…yes I'll let them know you will hurt them if they don't…ok…love ya." He hung up
"So what did short stuff want?" asked Emmett.
"Well we are going out to eat at 8 and then going to a place called Harry's. It's your typical country dance hall. It really is great. But we have to start getting ready now…" Jasper looked like he didn't want to say the next thing.
"And…" Emmett and I asked.
"She said to make sure y'all wore your boots."
"Well of course. I'm not half assing this country thing," Emmett said jumping out of the tub.
We headed back down to the room and started getting all dressed up. And I couldn't believe it but I was looking forward to going tonight. After I put on a white pearl snap shirt with the sleeves rolled up, dark wash jeans (we all told Alice we were not doing wranglers.) and the boots. I couldn't help but laugh. Once we were all dressed, we headed down the wait for the girls in the lobby.
"I can't wait to see my Rosie. Damn she's going to look hot as a cowgirl!" Emmett boomed.
Jasper and I just rolled our eyes, though I think we both wanted to see what the other two girls looked like too.
We heard the dingy of the elevator and heard the girls laughing and talking. All three of us stopped breathing for a bit. Rose was in a red tank top, brown sparkle belt, jeans and brown boots. Alice had on a pink tank top, a pink sparkle belt to match, jeans and pink boots. And then there was Bella. Looking gorgeous. She had on a simple white tank top on, a turquoise cross necklace, turquoise sparkle belt, dark jeans, and boots to match her belt. I don't know how long we were staring until Alice cleared her throat.
"Ok guys, wipe the drool off your face and let's go. We're hungry!" We jumped up and followed the girls out of the hotel. Yes…tonight will be fun.
