Chapter 10

EPOV

Emmett dropped me and Jasper off at Jasper's place to get changed. My parents were in Forks for the weekend as well but they were staying in a hotel. I had decided to crash at Jasper's pad. Emmett said he would pick us back up in about an hour to head out to the diner. I was so excited about seeing Bella again. Surprisingly, Emmett and Jasper didn't give me any shit about Bella... until Emmett came back by to pick us up for dinner.

"So Edward, you want to hump on Bella or what?"

Emmett had no tact.

"Geez Emmett, don't be so blunt."

Jasper was more sincere.

"Edward, what Emmett means to ask is how do you feel about Bella?"

That was a good question. I was drawn to her and felt a connection but I wasn't going to tell Emmett and Jasper that... they would tease me all through dinner.

"She's okay I guess."

Of course that answer didn't suffice.

"Just okay? That's not what it looked like when I saw you two almost kissing in Emmett's Hummer."

Jasper was just as observant as his little girlfriend. Emmett started laughing and I just shook my head.

"Edward and Bella sitting in a tree... K-I-S-S-I-N... OUCH!"

Emmett wasn't able to finish his sentence as Jasper threw a couch pillow at Emmett's head.

"Geez, what you do that for... only Rosalie can attack me."

Emmett was such a dweeb.

"I don't think we should tease Edward. Alice seems to think that they are going to hit it off well and that they have a nice energy between them."

Jasper was smirking at me as he spoke.

"Oh geez, can we just get going to dinner? You guys are starting to grow tits now with all this girl talk."

Emmett made a good point.

"I'm ready, let's go!"

I not only wanted to stop talking about all this feeling shit... I just wanted to see Bella again.

We arrived at the diner a little after 5:30 pm. The girls weren't there yet so us guys grabbed a big corner booth and waited. The girls arrived about 10 minutes later. They were all dressed casually and scooted into the booth we were all in. I was sitting across from Bella and she smiled as our eyes met. Yeah, I could safely say that the connection I felt was still there. I wish we could ditch the others and go somewhere alone.
