Chapter 8
BPOV
"Okay, so I screwed up."
"You did not screw up Bells, he did, and he's the jerk!"
"Thanks Alice."
"I mean, he just offended the prettiest, smartest, most charming girl on campus!"
"So not true."
"True as. Honestly Bella, I don't know why guys aren't flinging themselves at you?!"
"You don't mean that!"
"I do!"
I nodded my head once. We were still on my bed, after my fit of crying. But I got over that, I was being stupid. It's not like we had anything special going on between us. It was like crying over a bad project. That's what it really was, just me trying to get the good in him out, but I know now there is no good in him, and he would no later shoot a person than to say sorry.
"Alice, you can stop worrying now! Geez, I don't know why I started crying in the first place! He is nothing and I know that."
Alice looked at me sympathetically, "You sure bells?"
"Quite sure."
"Okay."
"Now, I'm going down to campus to do some printing for my model, don't wait up."
"You sure you wanna go, I can go for you."
I stood up and gave Alice a half hug. "Thanks, but I'll be fine."
I grabbed my jacket and my bag and went out the front door, my converse shoes squeaking against the tile floor.
Once outside I paused to let some of the morning sun warm my face, and then continued into my truck.
I turned on the engine and played the radio.
All of the sadness and worries went away with the beat of the music.
Twenty-five minutes passed before I reached the printing centre for students.
I got my bag and turned off the engine.
I stiffened.
My knuckles went white on the steering wheel.
My heart thumped beneath my chest.
Anger raged in my heart.
Can you guess what I saw?
Edward was leaning against the wall next to the entrance, looking around wildly at the cars.
Suddenly, he spotted mine and pushed himself off the wall, and began walking my way.
I jumped out of my truck, bag on shoulder and slammed the door harshly.
Edward stopped a metre away from me and had his mouth open to talk but I just walked right past him, smashing my shoulder into his.
But he caught up to me and started walking at the same pace to me.
"Listen, Bella, I was a Jerk and idiot! I should never have assumed. I shouldn't have thought so much of myself!"
"Is that all?" I asked, stopping and turning towards him.
"Well, yeah, I guess. Listen, I just wanted to say I was sorry."
"Hmm, let's see, if you say all those things you just said about yourself one hundred times a day for about ten years, I might, MIGHT forgive you."
I said turning around and continuing with the same pace.
"What's it going to take for you to forgive me?"
"I thought I just told you, or aren't you listening to me anymore."
"You have to admit my hunch about you and Jacob could have been right."
I turned around angrily, "WHAT? You have to be kidding! If I saw you with a girl and you said it was your friend, would I start saying that you wanted to be with me but you didn't want to leave that girl so you played hard to get?! Fucking hell!"
I turned and pushed the door to the printing centre roughly open.
But then Edwards hand came out of nowhere and pulled me back outside.
"Bella, I'll do anything!"
An evil smirk played upon my lips as I thought of all the things I could do to him!
"You'll do anything?"
"Anything!"
"Okay, you're going to have to do a lot."
"So be it."
"First, I want to meet your roommates."
A puzzled expression came upon his face to why I wanted to meet his friends, but the truth was, I wanted to see if they had dared Edward to go out with me…just incase.
"Uh, okay. Is that all?"
"Yes, but remember that I have more for you!"
"Ugh, Bella, how much will I have to do?!"
"Let's just say, if you finish all of my tasks and don't disappoint me, then you can call me girlfriend."
"Done!"
"Good, now, arrange your friends so that we go to dinner tonight at some restaurant, you choose. I'll bring Alice, so be sure that Jasper comes. I'll also bring Rosalie, you never know, maybe Emmett and her will have something to talk about."
"Okay, what time?"
"7.30pm, oh and Edward."
"Yes."
"Don't be a jerk this time."
"Consider it done."
"Good." I said finally going into the printing centre.
Now how am I going to explain to Alice that the fifteen minute crying about Edward was now going to end in getting back together with him?
Oh god, I am so dead!
EPOV
Yes! She had forgiven me! Well, only half forgiven me, I now only had to be her slave until she had fully forgiven me! Let's hope that doesn't go over the bet limits, the two weeks we had planned. But if all her needs were met by the end of the two weeks I would be her boyfriend…and so all bet requirements met and I would not only have Emmett's $200 bean bag chair but I would also have bragging rights!
But I knew that wasn't the only thing, I knew that was not the only reason as to why I was overjoyed in her letting mr back in.
I was starting to like her, and I mean really like her.
Lover her even.
All I could think about was her,
I couldn't even think anything negative about her,
When I think back to when I called her a bitch and nerd, I shiver.
Something has possessed me to jump in front of cars, just for a girl.
But she wasn't any ordinary girl, she was Bella, Bella was the only way to describe her, when you began to think about all of the things that makes Bella the best, well, there are just too many, you don't know where to begin.
That's it, I love her.
Now, how am I going to convince the Emmett to come out to dinner with me and Bella and her friends so I can win the bet?
Ugh, I'm going to have to show my feelings!
I trudged off into my silver Porsche, and then engine roared to life under my command. I sped off quickly, wanting to get this over and done with.
Another stupid fifteen minutes of me trying to go over my speech to Emmett in my head,
Uh, Emmett, look dude, I really need some help here. Uh, believe it or not, I'm in love. Well, uh, I mean, well what I mean is that I think I'm falling for Bella head over heels, and, uh, well dude, we could keep going with the bet, but I think that might jeopardize my relationship with Bella, so man, could you have a heart and let the bet go…
I am so dead.
I pulled up to the driveway and entered the parking lot and parked in a convenient place near the door. I jumped out and locked the car, heading to the front doors of the dorm block.
Pressing the button for the elevator, and them re-opening to my level.
I stepped out of the elevator, my hands twitching nervously.
I opened the door to my room and instantly heard the booming laugh that resembled the one to Emmett.
Of course, it was his laugh, and I found him watching the comedy channel and laughing until he cried.
I stepped over to the TV and turned it off.
"Woah, what the heck Edward, turn that back on, I was watching that!"
"Listen Em, we have to talk."
He eyed me suspiciously as I sat down next to him on the couch.
"Okay, what's up?"
"It's about…well, uh, you see…"
"Dude, are you okay? I haven't seen you this nervous since you peed in your pants in primary!"
"Ha ha, very funny. Listen, it's about the bet about me getting Bella. I need it to be cancelled."
"Excuse me?"
"This is the thing, I'm falling for Bella, I'm falling hard, and I…well, I haven't felt this way about a girl in a long time!"
"Fine."
"What?" I asked incredulously, did he just give up for Bella that easily?
"Fine, BUT," uh oh, here it came, "You got to give me your Ipod."
"Fine." I sighed, if that was all he wanted, then fine, I would gladly give up my Ipod for Bella anyway.
This time it was Emmett's turn to be incredulous.
"What?"
"I said fine."
"Woah, this isn't the cocky Edward I know. What happened to the confidence, or have I become too superior over you?"
"I'd rather give up my Ipod that risk jeopardizing my relationship with Bella.""Wow, this girl has definitely changed you Eddie, do I get to meet the changer of lives?"
I sighed, "Oh thank god, uh, well she wants to meet you too, dinner tonight, 7:30pm. Alright?"
"Woah, man, who'll be there."
I smiled "Alice, Jazz, me, you, Bella…"
"Is that all?"
"Let me finish." I snapped,
"AND, Rosalie!"
"Rosalie, who's she?"
"A very hot strawberry blonde you just might like!"
"I'm there!"
"Good, be ready by 7:30 and we'll go meet the girls."
"Alright. But dude, could you do one favour for me?"
"What?"
"Turn on the god damn TV!"
I chuckled, "Sure can do." I said jumping up and switching the TV back on.
I ran up the stairs and got my mobile and quickly called Bella.
Her sweet voice answered the phone and I confirmed that Emmett and I could come.
She confirmed that Rosalie, Jasper and Alice could come, including herself.
"Alright, see you at 7:30pm then."
"See you then." She replied before hanging up.
I checked my watch, only 4:30pm.
I wish I could speed up time.

"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!" Alice yelled at me.
"Yeah, well, I'm not." I replied harshly.
"I DID NOT JUST SPEND FIFTEEN MINUTES TRYING TO CONSOL YOU ABOUT EDWARD CULLEN SO YOU COULD GO GALAVANTING ABOUT WITH HIM TONIGHT!" she screeched.
"Thanks mum, I won't need your help next time."
"You won't expect me to come tonight!"
"Yes, I am, you know Jaspers going to be there!"
Alice loosened her stance and a softer look came into her eyes, "He will…?"
I nodded once.
Alice shook her head, "That's beside the point. I don't want you hurting yourself again! You are being so reckless Bella, where was that responsible girl I once knew. The girl who refused to go out with…"
"JESUS ALICE, GIVE ME A BREAK! Listen, I truly think that Edward has changed. I know you don't believe me but give us one more chance, I know you're worried but please try and consider."
"BELLA, I ALREADY HAVE! I was against you going out with him in the first place, but then he said those stupid things and…"
Oh boy, this was going to be a long night!
so, next chapter will be the dinner, Emmett and Rosalie finally meet...LOVE IS IN THE AIR! Also, Edward talks to Alice...will she be persuaded that he can change for Bella? Will Emmett see the love Bella and Edward share? (Bella obviously isn't aware of it though)
PLEASE REVIEW!
