Chapter 11
I heard Alice tell Edward to hurry up, his planning to ask her soon and that his going to have to do better than that. Obviously she didn't think I heard her. I was determined to forget all about what I had just happened and that stupid kiss. Even though it was amazing, stupid Bella you shouldn't be thinking like that. You have a boyfriend who loves you and cares about you. His the one you can see yourself having a future with, he would never hurt you. I really tried to push all thoughts of Edward out of my head as I made it back to my room.
I quickly freshened up and changed in to something more suitable, Ryan didn't want us to just get in to a routine and become bored with the relationship so we had dates every so often. Tonight he was taking me to a little Italian. Once I was dressed, I applied a little makeup and clipped my hair up for a change and headed over to Ryan's dorm. He would be driving tonight. I knocked on his door, and was greeted with a kiss and he took a step back to look at me and let out a content sigh, "how did I ever get to be so lucky." He said smiling as he took my hand and we walked to his car. Being the gentleman he is he of course opened my door for me, in fact he opened every door for me, never taking his eyes off me for more than a few minutes, in fact I was the same. He held my hand in his on the table, while we had waited for our food, which was amazing to say the least. I didn't object when he paid the bill, we had come to an agreement that when he chose our date he would pay and when I chose I paid.
During dinner I had told him about Edward being back, there was no way I could hide it nor did I want to, of course I didn't say anything about the kiss. He had already met Emmett and jasper, who he seemed to get along with and said how it was good they were looking out for me. He liked Alice as well but said she seemed a little full on, and asked whether she was always like that, at which I had to slightly laugh. He hadn't met Rosalie yet or Edward. He didn't push the subject of Edward, only asking how I felt about seeing him again. I told him that I was surprised and a little confused. Ryan didn't enquire any further and left it there. Overall it was a pleasant evening, I had good food, great company and I barely thought about Edward.
Ryan drove us back to the dorms and walked me to my room. The door was closed, so obviously Alice had already left to go be with jasper. Ryan leaned in for a goodnight kiss, when he pulled away I pouted so he kissed me again, and I tilted my head and wrapped my arms around his neck deepening the kiss. He was responding, as he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me tighter to him and I knew if I didn't end this soon we would get carried away and I wasn't ready for that yet and especially not in the corridor outside my room. I pulled away but not before kissing him lightly making him smile. "Goodnight my angel don't forget we have a party to go to tonight so I will pick you up around 8. Sweet dreams" he said kissing my forehead before turning and leaving for his own room.
I opened my door and walked in, I was right Alice wasn't there, which meant I would have some peace tonight. No annoying hyper pixie to annoy me and try and play dress up with or question me to death. Instead I took a nice relaxing shower before changing for bed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day, although I only had two classes, I was meeting up Alyssa in the morning and then when classes finished I had to get ready for the party. During dinner Ryan had mentioned that we had been invited to yet another party and although I still wasn't one for parties as long as I wasn't the main focus and I was with Ryan I could enjoy it. When I came out of the bathroom Alice was sitting crossed legged on her bed, as if she had been waiting for me. "Hey Alice" I said as I climbed in to bed. She seemed to consider her thoughts while she waited for me to get into bed and get comfortable.
"Don't worry I'm not going to overwhelm you, you need your beauty sleep ready for tomorrows party. It's bad enough that I only have an hour to get you ready, without having to spend time covering up your lack of sleep. One other thing before you go to sleep, we would appreciate it if you toned down the public displays of affection, after all I'm still not used to seeing you with someone other than my brother, especially as his still in love with you. Anyway time for you to sleep" I tried to protest but she wasn't having any of it. I guess she and jasper must have seen our little display. I would consider toning down the pda but sometimes it was unavoidable. I fell asleep thinking Edward.
