Chapter 10
I sped out of town limits and Edward and Jasper followed. Alice wouldn't tell me where she was taking me and she was doing an excellent job of blocking her thoughts. I sighed loudly as I drove looked over at Alice who had a huge grin spread across her face.
"Ok get off on this exit." She directed and I quickly crossed three lanes of traffic on the highway. Edward immediately followed and drove close to my cars bumper.
"If he even touches my car with his car…" I threatened and I knew that he heard me because he and Jasper were laughing. I pressed the gas pedal harder and Alice shook her head with laughter.
"I knew that you would love the speed once you were changed." I rolled my eyes at her.
"Ok where now?" I ignored her last comment.
"First you need to slow down and then make a right up there." She said pointing to a sign. I nodded and reluctantly lifted my foot off the accelerator. I turned right at the sign and slammed on the brake when I saw where Alice was taking me. Edward almost crashed into the back of my car except that he swerved out of the way.
"No way, Alice. I am not going in there." I said looking at the building in front of us.
"Bella, don't you love me?" She said looking at me with her puppy eyes.
"Well, of course, Alice."
"Then why won't you do this with me?"
"Because, Alice, I don't dance." I said matter of factly.
"Yes you do. Since you have been changed, you aren't as clumsy and you can do anything now." She relied. I let out a huge breath and gripped the steering wheel.
"No." I said stubbornly.
"Look Bella, there is no way out of this. And don't you dare even try to drive away." She must have seen my decision in her mind and I sighed. I stared into the dance studio and shook my head as I drove into a parking place. Alice squealed in delight and clapped her hands.
"Thanks Bella! You'll have fun!" She leaned across and kissed me on the cheek. I didn't say anything as I got out of the car and followed Alice into the studio. Edward and Jasper shrugged and followed me. I noticed that Alice now had a bag with her and I assumed that it had dance clothes in it.
She led me into a locker room and pulled out a blue leotard and short black shorts and handed them to me. I glared at her when she pulled out a matching green leotard and black shorts.
"You can't be serious." I said when she started to put her stuff on.
"Oh I am." She said and I glared at her one last time before putting the outfit on. I pulled the tight leotard on. I felt like I was wearing a one piece bathing suit to go dancing. I put the tight black shorts on over top and looked in the mirror. The whole dance outfit didn't look to bad on me because it showed all of my curves and the blue Alice picked out was my favorite color.
"I'm just wondering, why dancing?" I said as she gave me shoes and I put them on.
"You'll see." She said. I looked into her thoughts and saw Edward and Jasper and I smiled.
"I already can." I tapped my temple and she rolled her eyes.
"I forgot about that." She relied as we walked into the dance studio. Edward and Jasper were sitting on chairs outside the mirrored room. I shuddered as I remembered the last time that I had been in a ballet studio. Alice didn't notice and she led me over to a group of dancers.
"Hi Alice!" One of them said as we walked over.
"Hey guys. This is Bella." They all looked at me and smiled warmly so I waved back.
A muscular man walked into the room and clapped his hands. He stared at me for a few seconds before continuing.
"Good morning class. Pair up!" he shouted and I noticed that there was an uneven number of people. A couple of the men in the class looked over at me and were about to ask me when the muscular man put his hand on my shoulder. "Since there are an uneven number of dancers, you will be my partner."
"Um, ok… but I don't really dance." I told him.
"It's ok, I'll lead you. What's your name, sweetheart?"
"Bella." I mumbled at his attempt to flirt.
"Ok, Bella, I'm Joseph." I smiled lightly and nodded. I glared at Alice who giggled. "Stretch out everyone!" He attempted to help me stretch, but I listened to his mind and he had other things besides stretching on it. I shuddered and looked over at Alice who was gracefully stretching.
"Excuse me for a moment." I said before waking over to Alice. "Alice! You knew this was going to happen!" I whispered furiously.
"It's not my fault you didn't use your powers to see this." She said smiling innocently. She peered behind me and frowned. "Edward and Jasper are enjoying this… You have to dance with that guy and pretend to like it." She whispered. I looked back at my husband's smug expression and sighed.
"Ok, but you owe me." I said before stalking back over to Joseph. I put on a fake smile. "Ok I'm all stretched out." I told him and he nodded. Joseph walked over to the CD player and turned on a song.
"You will all follow Bella and me in this dance." He walked back over to me and took one of my hands in his and then took my other hand and placed on his shoulder. He placed his other hand on my lower back and began to lead me around the room. The other dance couples followed us as I expertly matched each of his steps.
"I thought that you didn't dance." He said with a confused look.
"I don't…" I replied and sighed.
"Very natural…" He said after observing my dance steps.
"Thanks." I said looking over at Edward who still had the same smug look on his face. I looked up into Joseph's eyes and smiled. He smiled back and continued to lead me around.
"I need to look at the other dancers and help them. Since you seem to know the steps, you can help too." I nodded and walked over to Alice and her partner.
"Very nice. You two make an excellent couple." I said just loud enough for Jasper to hear. Alice winked at me as I straightened their arms and then moved on to the next couple. I helped them with their steps and then the song ended.
Joseph came over and put his huge arm around my shoulders and explained the next step. He then turned the music back on and then put his arms around me the same way as for the first dance.
This was a faster paced song and his arm that was on my lower back kept getting lower and lower. I looked over at Edward who looked ready to kill this man and Jasper was holding him back. I grabbed Joseph's arm and pulled it back up. I felt Edward's emotions relax a bit when I did that and Joseph held me closer as the song picked up the pace. I let him pull me to his body and Edward stiffened again.
"Relax." I muttered too low for human ears to hear. Alice glared at me and Edward smiled at me but I pretended not to notice. Edward listened to my one word and sat back in the chair. He was still stiff but didn't look ready to kill this human… yet.
"Do you like dancing?" Joseph asked.
"Yeah it's ok." I said as I mindlessly did the steps to the dance.
"You're really good. I've been looking for a partner for a while and you seem to be the one. You have the moves and the looks." He said and stroked his finger down my cheek. I stiffened and pulled my head back.
"Um… I'm not really sure." I said and I felt a blush creeping up my cheeks.
"I'll let you think about it." I nodded silently and stole a quick glance at Edward. His eyes were turning black and I could feel jealousy rolling off of him. I looked at Jasper and he was acting the same way as Alice's partner tried to hit on her several times. I sent some calming waves towards them and they both glared at me.
The song ended and we got a water break. I walked over to Alice who was smiling hugely at me.
"It's working! They are so jealous." I rolled me eyes at her.
"I know, I can feel their emotions going out of control. I think we should go and get a drink at the water fountain." She nodded and followed me out into the hall past our husbands. I heard them get up and follow us.
"Bella and Alice, this has gone on for too long." Jasper said as I pretended to take a drink. Alice bent over and pretended to take one. I wiped the water around my mouth off because water tasted just as bad as human food.
"Come on… talk to us." Edward pleaded. I had to look away from his beautiful topaz eyes. I concentrated on the floor as Alice and I walked past them. I heard them both groan as they followed us to the studio. Edward and Jasper took their places outside of the room on the chairs and watched as we made our way over to the group.
"Ok, so now we are going to work on lifting." Joseph said once we were done with our water break. I looked at Alice skeptically and she just shrugged. I returned my gaze back to Joseph. "We will be using the same partners. Bella and I will demonstrate in the front and then you will all try it." Everyone paired up and I walked with Joseph to the front of the mirrored room.
"First we will play the trusting game. You must trust your partner in order to lift with them. Bella stand in front of me and face the class." I followed his instructions. "Now I want you to fall back into my arms." I didn't trust this guy but I knew that it wouldn't hurt if I fell. I closed my eyes and let myself fall gently into his arms. "Perfect. Now you all try it and then switch. How was that?" he asked me.
"It was fine." I said. "Ok, it's your turn." I said and stepped behind him. He nodded and fell back into my arms. I caught him easily and helped him stand straight up. I noticed him rubbing his arms where my arms had touched his. "Oh… Sorry." I mumbled to him.
"No, no, its fine. You have excellent muscles. Perfect for a dancer." He said leaning closer to me. I looked out the door at Edward and he was gripping the seat and I was sure that he was putting a dent in it.
"Um… thanks, I think." I was backing up from him.
"I just to ask, why are you so cold?" He said touching my icy hand.
"Oh, um… I just get really cold because… um… I don't have very good blood circulation." Yeah if I had blood, I thought to myself. I heard Alice, Edward, and Jasper giggle when I said that and I blushed. He seemed to believe me and turned back to the class that was still playing the trusting game.
"Ok, that's enough. Let's try some lifts." He did some lifts with me and held me in the air demonstrating the correct formation.
Eventually the class was over and I skipped over to Alice. "Well?" She asked.
"It was interesting but I liked it." Alice went to get her bag and Joseph came over to me.
"Hey, great job today." He said.
"Oh, thanks." I said putting a fake smile on.
"So what do you think about being my partner?"
"I don't think that I am ready for that. Sorry." His face fell but he was determined to get me as his partner.
"How about you think about it and then give me a call." He handed me a slip of paper with his number on it. "We can get some dinner or something and talk about it." He added with a wink.
"That's… um… nice of you to offer but I don't think so."
"Ok, well you just think about it, sweetheart, and then give me a call." I nodded as I held in my laughter.
"Bella! Come on!" Alice called from across the room. I threw her a grateful glance because I knew that she was trying to save me from this guy.
"I have to go. Bye." I said running out of the room with Alice. Once we got into the locker room we started laughing. We changed quickly because Alice claimed that we had reservations somewhere. We emerged from the locker room and Edward and Jasper were leaning casually against the wall looking like gods. I was about to leave the building when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and it was Joseph.
"Please just think about it." He pleaded.
"I did." I said with a bored voice.
"Why not? I'm single; you're gorgeous and single too." I held up my hand with my huge ring.
"See, I'm not single." His mouth dropped.
"Oh… Well he doesn't have to know." I raised my eyebrows.
"Excuse me?" I said. "You expect me to hide something like that from my husband?"
He nodded slowly and I heard the car door slam. I knew Edward was coming so I needed to act fast. I pulled back my hand and slapped him gently across the face. Well it was gentle for me because I didn't want to break his jaw. He clutched onto his face and I dropped the slip of paper with his number on the ground. I stormed away past Edward and got into my car. I heard him laughing and it made me angrier.
"Ok let's go." I said. Alice chatted mindlessly as she drove us to her next destination. We pulled up in front of a spa and I looked over at Alice.
"First dancing, now a spa?" I heard the guys groan from Edward's car.
"Yeah, why not?" Alice said cheerfully.
"Because a spa is wasted on vampires." I said calmly. She took a deep breath.
"Bella, this is our girl time. I want to have fun. You need to relax so this is how we are going to do it." She took my hand and dragged me into the spa. As soon as we walked in the door, I wrinkled my nose at the sweet smelling lotions and perfumes. Edward and Jasper cautiously followed us in and stood behind us as Alice checked in.
"We have a reservation with Liza and Zoe." Alice told the girl working at the front desk and she nodded and paged someone on the phone. She hung up and led us to a room. She opened the door and let Alice and I in.
"I'm sorry, but you will have to wait in the waiting room." She said to our husbands before shutting the door.
We both giggled and Alice threw me a robe that was on one of the tables. We both undressed and put the robes on and sat down on the sofa. I looked around the room and saw that there were two nail stations and two massage tables. Alice picked up a magazine and was flipping through it when the door opened and two vampires walked in.
"Alice!" They both squealed and Alice jumped up to hug them.
"This is Bella." Alice said and I stood up and received hugs from the vampires. I assumed that they were Liza and Zoe. Liza led me to one nail station and Zoe took Alice to the other. We all talked as they did our nails. Alice told them about our plan to ignore Jasper and Edward and then prank them when they weren't expecting it. They both laughed and told us that it was an excellent plan.
Liza and Zoe took up to the massage tables and gave us massages. I had never had one before but I really liked it. Too soon they finished and I stood up feeling refreshed and relaxed. Liza and Zoe left and Alice and I redressed and walked out.
I giggled when I saw Edward and Jasper sitting on a sofa flipping through woman life magazines. Alice elbowed me in the ribs and I remembered to ignore them as they looked up at us with relieved expressions on their faces. Alice paid and we got into the car and headed home.
The rest of the night was uneventful and it led to the beginning of the next week. Alice and Jasper somehow managed to get into the college and had all the same classes as Edward and me. For the rest of the week, Edward and Jasper continued to follow us around as we refused to speak to either of them. They had both tried different stunts to get us to talk to them but neither of us cracked.
During the middle of the week, Alice and I had texted Emmett and he helped us come up with the prank and Rose and he were coming tomorrow to us to help with it.
It was Friday night and it was exactly a week that we had been ignoring our husbands. Alice and I decided that it was time to move on with the plan. We turned around and faced our husbands who were trailing behind us as we cleaned the house.
"Edward." I said.
"Jasper." Alice said.
"We have decided to forgive you and we are not going to be ignoring you anymore." I told them and they both ran and wrapped us in a huge hug.
"Bella, I missed you so much." Edward whispered, kissing my neck. I hugged him tighter and kissed his soft lips that I had missed for the past week.
"I never left." I mumbled between kisses.
"I know but this week, you didn't say one word to me and I need your voice and your kisses like I would need air if I were a human." I giggled and he cradled me into his chest.
I looked around the room and Alice and Jasper had disappeared and I knew where they were when I heard something crash upstairs. Edward chuckled and shook his head. I titled my head up and kissed him again.
"I love you." I said as he ran up to our room.
"I love you, too." He told me as he gently placed me on the bed. He closed the door and it didn't open until the next morning.
