Broken Promises: Chapter Ten - What Are You Guys Doing Here?


"Alice, come on! You're taking too long with this!" I complained.

Alice practically kidnapped me and hid me in her room to get me ready for my date with Edward.

She was sure that if I got ready in my room, Edward was bound to see me and he would do it on purpose to take me hostage and we'd end up not going on any date at all. Just an all nighter make out session.

And at least it would be a suprise for Edward.

I kind of hoped that he would "accidentally" come up to Alice's room just so I could see his face.

We've been dating for two and a half weeks and needles to say - we've been inseperable.

Whenever one of us woke up - we woke the other up by kissing each others neck and straddling our waist.

Needless to say; it's a certainly pleasant way to wake up.

We study together, help each other with schoolwork, go to dinner, watch movies, have intense make out sessions and talk each other to death before flling asleep.

I never thought I could feel this happy. Especially in a relationship with a guy who I'm crazy for.

Right now, I'm blissfully happy and I never want it to go way.

"Oh Bella, please sit still. We have to make you sexy so that you'll get laid more than once! Not that you'd need the help with Edward or anything.."

"Ew! Alice! C'mon, Edward's your brother! And I'm his girlfriend! You can't talk about stuff like that with me. Besides I highly doubt he would want to anyway." I said, appalled.

Alice laughed. "Geez, Bella, you're so blind. He wants it and so do you. You're just both too blind to see it because of you're problems."

I sighed and sat back, letting her continue to torture me.

Within an hour and twenty minutes - yes, I was actually counting - she was done.

"There we go, now go change into your dress and shoes." She handed me my clothes and shoes.

Not just shoes, but heels.

"Alice!" I gasped. "I can't wear these, I'll fall over!"

"Pft. You'll have Edward to hang on to, I highly doubt he'd let you fall." She said and rolled her eyes, as if the answer was quite obvious.

I grumbled and took off to the bathroom.

After I changed, I looked in the mirror and decided I didn't look half bad.

I was wearing a blood red tank top and a pale red flowery dress over it, revealing the tank top. (A/N: dress on profile, aspired by my friend)

And simple red heels.

My hair was dead straight. Alice gave me bangs and put the sides of my hair in clips.

The make up was just black eyeliner, peach eyeshadow and nude lipgloss.

I wonder what took her so long to do all this, I thought. Oh yeah, I thought to myself, it must take effort to make someone like me look like this.

Or maybe it's because my hair takes a miracle to get through.

"Bella!" Alice knocked on the door, pulling me from my thoughts. "Are you done yet?"

I cleared my throat and told her I'd be out in a minute and she went away.

I took a deep breath, smoothed my dress and opened the door.

Alice was waiting and when she saw me, she screamed so high, Edward probably would've heard her, wherever he was.

"Bella! You look good enough to eat!"

I chuckled nervously. "I hope that's a good thing? I don't necessarily want cannibals coming to eat my flesh and bones."

She laughed and hugged me tightly. "I mean you look beautiful better, more than usual."

She pulled away from me and looked me up and down. Obviously pleased with her work.

Then, there was a knock at the door.

Alice squealed again. "That's him!" She hollered.

"Geez, Alice, you act like you're the one going on a date and not me." I said.

I heard Edward laugh outside the door.

Alice pulled me behind the door and whispered "stay there", I gave her a puzzled look but she only winked at me.

She opened the door. "Not one step further!" I heard Alice speak.

"What?" Edward spoke in a puzzled tone that I supposed matched my puzzled look. "You mean she's not ready yet?"

"You'll look have to wait and see, so close your eyes." Alice sang.
Edward sighed. "Alice, why?"

"Because I want you to be suprised. Pleaseeeeeee.

"Ugh, fine."

I heard Alice run out of the room. I was even more puzzled.

"Alice, what are you doing?"

Alice laughed. "You think I trust you? You are Edward Cullen after all."

I heard Edward sigh in frustration and I laughed silently to myself.

I saw Edward enter the room with hands over his eyes, Alice's hands. Alice was guiding him to the centre of the room.

"Now stand there, don't move." Alice ordered him.

"Yes, Ma'am." He chuckled.

Alice removed her hands and ran to the door, closing it.

Edward's back was turned to me.

Alice took my hands and led me up to him, standing only 2 or 3 inches away from.

Alice moved to sit on the chair by her desk, to enjoy the show.

"Alright," Alice said. "You can open your eyes and turn around now.

And he did so.

At first, his face look annoyed. Then, his face turned to suprised, then excited, then finally on happy.

I blushed and he smirked.

"Well?" I asked, not wanting to be embarrassed further. "Do I look decent enough to take out on this said date?"

He chuckled. "Mm, you look far more than decent to me.." He trailed off, murmuring to himself. Non innocent thoughts, I expected.

He started to step towards me, closing the space between us, but then he suddenly hissed.

Was he showing how repulsive I was?

"Alice!" He shrieked.

I looked over to Alice and saw she was glaring at Edward.

I looked back to Edward and saw he was rubbing his foot, she must've stepped on it, hard, by the sound of his loud yell.

"What the hell did you do that for?!" Edward nearly shouted.

"Isn't it obvious? I noticed the way your thoughts were headed, and I'm telling you right now mister, you better not take her back to you guys' room - you better take her out. All my hard work better not go to a waste." Alice growled.

Edward tried to look innocent and said "But I never.."

Alice laughed. "Yeah, right, keep trying to be innocent, it'll never work with me. Now scoot."

But.."

"Go.."

"Alice, I never.."

"Now!"

I laughed and Edward glared at me.

"Looks like you got burned Edward." I joked.

Alice laughed and high fived me.

"Go on you two, get out of here." Alice said.

I laughed and walked out of the door, I looked back and saw Edward wasn't following.

I kept on walking, and decided to go back up to the dorm to taunt him.

"Bella!" I heard him shout after me.

I kept on walking, pretending not to hear him.

"Hey Bella!" He shouted louder and I heard running.

He caught up to me and grabbed my wrist.

"Bella, where are you going?" He asked, puzzled.

I sighed and shrugged. "Well you obviously aren't interested in our date anymore, so I figured I'd go up and change and do something else."

He grabbed me shoulders and looked me in the eyes. "Woah, woah, Bella, of course I'm interested in our date, I've been looking forward to it all week. Please don't cancel."

I laughed. "Relax, I'm kidding, Edward. Unless you've got some other girl you'd prefer to entertain." I shrugged again and pouted.

He shook his head and laughed. "You know that's not true Bella. I have now and always will have only eyes for you."

"Really?"

"Really, really." He laughed.

I laughed back and he bent down and kissed me on my lips.

"So let's go, girlfriend." He grinned.

"Alright, boyfriend." I laughed.

He led me down to his Volvo, opened my door for me and guided me inside. Then, made his way over to his side.

"So, boyfriend, where exactly are we off to?" I asked.

"Relax, it's nothing big, nothing too pricey. Just a restaurant that reminds me of you."

"And which restaurant may that be?" I asked.

"La Bella Italia." He answered, simply.

My eyes widened in horror. "Edward! That place costs a lot to dine there!"

He laughed. "Relax Bella, I'm paying."

"But I don't want you spending money on me."

"Tough."

"But.."

"But what?"

I sighed. "I'm not worth it." I whispered to myself.

He heard me. "Yes, you are worth it." He told me.

He leaned over and took my hand in his, kissing the palm.

I sighed contently and sat back.

Edward smiled, knowing he could make me feel this way.

Within 15 minutes, we pulled up in front of the restaurant.

"Wait there." Edward told me.

I just nodded, wondering what he was up to.

He got out and walked to my side of the car, opening the door.

I chuckled. "Well, aren't you the gentleman?"

He chuckled back. "Edward Cullen's girlfriend only deserves the best.

He offered his hand and I took it, carefully stepping out of the car as to not trip over my heels.

The door shut behind us and he led me up to the restaurant.

We walked in, hand in hand, up to the host.

"Reservations for Cullen." He said.

The host held up a finger. "One moment.. Ah, here we are, Cullen. Follow me right this way please." He said, grabbing two menu's.

Edward and I followed him and he showed us to a private booth, probably requested by Edward.

Edward walked over to a seat and pulled it open for me.

I smiled and sat down in it.

He walked over to his own chair and sat down.

The host handed us our menu's.

"Hi, I'm Eric and I'll be your host this evening. Would you two like something to drink?" Eric said in an odd voice, staring at Edward.

Could he be.. was he.. flirting with Edward.

I grinned to myself. Edward stared at me, wondering what I was grinning at but I just shook my head.

"Bella? Drink?" Edward asked.

"Uh.. I'll just have some water." I replied.

"Same for me, thanks." Edward said.

"Great, I'll be right back with some bread baskets and your drinks!"

And with that, Eric was gone.

"Alright Bella, what are you laughing so madly at?" Edward asked me.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just.. the waiter was gay. And he was.. flirting with you." I laughed.

"Really?" He asked, shocked. "So what? Are you.. jealous?"

I laughed. "No, I don't get jealous." He smirked.

I looked down at my menu, wondering what to have.

Before I knew it, Eric was back with our drinks and bread basket.

"Have you guys decided what you'd like to order?" He asked us.

"Uh.. Bella?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

"I think we'll just split a mozzerella pizza?" He asked me.

I nodded.

"Great! I'll go put in your order! You guys have fun now." Eric squealed and went to fill in our order.

Edward and I burst into giggles.

We made small talk through eating and drinking, overall it was a pretty good date.

I wasn't jealous at the whole Eric thing, I truely wasn't. It was just irritating.

He even gave Edward his number in the bread basket! I thought it was hysterical. Edward found it annoying.

On the way home, I was beginning to fall asleep in the car.

Edward didn't seem to mind, he even gave me his jacket to lie my head on.

I was barely conscious when Edward carried me bridal style up to the dorms and into our room.

He laid me down on my bed and kissed my forehead.

He went to go back to his bed but I grabbed his arms.

"Edward? Sleep with me?" I asked.

He raised his eyebrow and I hit him square in the arm.

"Not that way, you perve! Just next to me." I laughed, and he laughed back at me.

"Okay, Bella." He said, lying down next to me. "I was kind of hoping you'd ask me to, there's no place I'd rather be, you're so snuggly."

He wrapped his arms around my waist and I snuggled my way into his chest.

I fell asleep almost immediately.

But then I woke up to a blinding light. Edward was still asleep beside me so I nudged him.

He stirred, then woke up and his face went to shock.

"Mom? Dad?"

OOOOOH. Cliffy! Just had to. I wanted this chapter to go a different way but I just wanted to update you guys with something.

Next chapter will be fun and either in that or the next chapter, Edward and Bella will finally have that discussion!

Give me a week or so. School is draining and my insomnia is killing me. Plus, I want to make it the best chapter!
