Another Chance
Chapter 8-Swimsuits and Prom Dresses
Emmett POV
"Hey Emmett, I seated a group of six at table 7." Mandy informed me. I nodded and started a new tab.
When table seven came into view the occupants started laughing hysterically, or at least the girls. I glared at my brothers.
"I'm Emmett and I'll be your server tonight. Can I start you off with something to drink?" I asked through gritted teeth when they gained control of their laughter. Edward and Carlisle got their usual, Esme got coke and Bella wanted water. When I turned to Alice she looked like she was enjoying a joke with her self.
"Virgin sex on the beach." I smiled remembering our previous life. I turned to Rose and my smile grew.
"Can I get a virgin peach daiquiri?" she asked sweetly.
"For sure—I'll be right back." I went to fill the order and check on my other tables on the way.
On my way back to their table I ran right into someone.
"Oh shit—Sorry Rosey." I said scrambling with a towel trying to dry her off.
"It's okay Em. No worries. I need a new outfit anyway." she smiled up at me.
"Okay—Hey I have a change of clothes—you'll probably be swimming in them but at least they're dry. Do you want them?" I suggested and she followed me; I led her through the kitchen to the small dimly lit break room with a couple of lockers. I grabbed my black backpack and pulled the clothes out and handed them to her and turned to leave.
"Wait," She came over to him stood on her toes and pressed her lips to mine. I was shocked at first but then I slid my arms round her waist and pulled her closer. It felt great to have her in my arms. She smiled against my lips.
"I missed you." She whispered as we broke apart.
"Well isn't that just precious!" Rose jumped back from me looking for the source of the voice. Standing in the doorway was my manager. "McCarty—no one other than employees is allowed back here and get back to your tables!" I looked down at her apologetically.
"Sorry—I have to get back to work. You should change and get back to your table." I kissed her quick one last time and left.
I went to remake the drinks and went back to the table where my love was. As I passed Bella her drink I reached across Rose and whispered in her ear.
"You look really sexy in my clothes." She smiled at me but didn't say anything. After I put in their orders I continued with the monotony of my job.
When I brought them their food I sat down next to Rose and started talking to Carlisle and Edward.
"Emmett aren't you supposed to be working?" Bella asked.
"Yea, but I'm on brake more or less. My section is full and everyone has their food so I just have to go around every five minutes making sure they have everything they need." I said sliding my arm around Rose's waist.
"When do you get off work?" she asked me.
"In about a half hour." I smiled thinking about how much I wanted to kiss her again. "Okay, I should get back out there." I said before I did something else that would get me in trouble.
About a half hour later
"Emmett, can we get the bill?" Edward asked flagging me down.
"I got this one. It's already paid for, just give me a few minutes to hand my tables over and what not and we can go." I said going to find Alyssa to give her my tables.
When I returned to the table the girls were gone.
"The girls are changing. It seems Alice hasn't changed a bit, she bought them all new outfits for the end of terms celebrations." Edward explained. I nodded, sounds like Alice.
"Should we call Jasper? He'd be pretty pissed if we didn't."
"Yea, we should surprise them both though. Call him while you're changing." Carlisle instructed.
When the girls came back I couldn't take my eyes of Rose, she looks gorgeous. She handed me my clothes and kissed me once and sent me on my way to change.
Once in the bathroom I called Jasper.
"Hey Jasper we're all at the mall, and you should come meet us." I said once he answered.
"Why? I don't want to shop." He complained.
"Trust me, I can't tell you why but you won't regret it." I promised. I finally got him to agree and changed quickly.
The family was waiting for me at the table, Rose took me hand and we followed them into the mall.
Alice led us to some store filled with swim suits, the name had something to do with water. The girls said they need a new swim suit for some thing later this week; plus Rose wanted a new one for our date. The girls browsed while us guys stood back and just appreciated being with our wives once again. Rose and Alice seemed less then satisfied with the selection, Esme was iffy but Bella was happy.
"Guys, let's go, there's nothing here." Rose announced after only a few minutes. Bella frowned.
"Why? This store has a good selection." Rose and Alice laughed humorlessly.
"No, it doesn't." Alice corrected.
"What's wrong with this?" Bella asked holding up a plain black frumpy looking one piece.
"I'm going to pretend you didn't just ask that." Rose said wrapping her hand into mine.
"I was hoping this store would have some cute ones, but I knew we'd have to go there eventually, it's really the only good store." Alice said more to her self then us.
"I agree with Alice." Edward put in. I laughed loudly.
"He's only saying that cuz he wants to see more skin." I said causing Bella to blush deep scarlet and Edward to punch my shoulder.
"Shut up Emmett" he muttered. Just then Jasper walked into the store and spotted us.
"Hey, so why'd you want me to come, what's so great about a swim suit store?" he asked, not noticing Alice yet. Edward spun him around and Carlisle pointed to Alice.
"Guys! That's borders girl! AND! Guess what? Yea, I talked to her, her name is Ali, and she is Alice!" He didn't notice we were nodding and agreeing.
"Yea, we know, go talk to her." I pushed him. Ed rolled his but laughed.
"Jay! What are you doing here?" Alice asked loud enough for the rest of us to hear.
"My brothers called, what are you doing here?" I slapped my forehead, she was obviously shopping.
"Shopping with the girls and…I guess your brothers." She smiled brightly, I had no doubt that she knew he was coming.
"Well, before Bella goes and buys the hideous thing lets get out of here and go to the only option for swim suits." Rose interrupted.
Alice POV
"Well, before Bella goes and buys the hideous thing lets get out of here and go to the only option for swim suits." Rose said interrupting Jasper and I. I smiled and took his hand leading him out of the store.
"Okay where to?" Emmett asked once the whole group was collected by the escalators. I looked at my sisters and grinned.
"Victoria Secrets," Rose and I said at the same time, the guys' eyes grew round as I can only imagine they were thinking about what they sell there. Bella groaned loudly.
"Why do we always have to go there? Aren't there other stores?" she practically begged.
"No" I said simply before leading Jasper and the rest of the group down the escalator and to the store.
Jasper POV
"Jay! What are you doing here?" Alice asked.
"My brothers called, what are you doing here?" I mentally slapped my forehead, she was obviously shopping.
"Shopping with the girls and…I guess your brothers." She smiled brightly; I couldn't help but smile back at her.
"Well, before Bella goes and buys the hideous thing lets get out of here and go to the only option for swim suits." Rose interrupted.
She smiled and took my hand leading me out of the store.
"Okay where to?" Emmett asked once the whole group was collected by the escalators. She looked at her sisters and grinned.
"Victoria Secrets," Rose and Alice said at the same time, my eyes, as well as my brothers, grew large. I couldn't help but picture Alice in some lacy piece that she had the first time around. Bella groaned loudly.
"Why do we always have to go there? Aren't there other stores?" she practically begged.
"No" she answered; I hid my smile as Alice led us to the store.
When we walked in I couldn't help but look directly at the lingerie then at Alice. She smiled up at me probably knowing what I was thinking about. She drug me the opposite way of what I was looking at to the swim suit racks. She started handing me different suits. I smiled, just like old times. Rose, Esme and Bella followed suit. Bella had the least amount of suits by far.
When Alice decided she had enough candidates she had me follow her to the dressing room. The rest of the group followed soon after.
"Okay, we have to come out of our rooms so we can see each other 'k?" Rose and Esme nodded, Bella on the other hand started to protest.
"Bella, come on, you know you want our opinion." Rose said. After a little more convincing she finally agreed. The first bikini my beautiful love came out in was black and had a jeweled scull and cross bones on the left breast and on the right of back of the bottoms.
"Ali, you look amazing." I said breathless. She smiled mischievously and went back into her dressing room after getting her sisters thoughts.
Esme POV
Rose had nearly given Emmett a heart attack when she came out in an emerald green bikini with gold hooks holding the bottoms together. Bella surprised us all by coming out in a dark blue print bikini. I wore a red retro halter one piece.
"Ez, please tell me you grabbed more than just one pieces." Alice started in on me.
"Of course." I said going back into my dressing room to try on a bikini. I came back out with a white halter push up that had red flowers on it, with matching string bikini bottoms.
"You look exquisite." Carlisle whispered to me. I gave him a swift kiss on the cheek before deciding I didn't want to try on any more suits, so I changed and sat with the boys to watch the others model their choices. Bella only tried on one other swimsuit, a light blue polka dot bikini, before joining me and the guys. Rosalie came out in a stunning bikini that was a pinkish bright orange. After changing she called my sisters and I into her room to show us a secret one for her date with Emmett.
Alice of course went slightly overboard and ended up with four bikinis, a hot pink one, a pink polka dotted one, a white one with interesting teal designs and the black skull one. After swim suits Rose and Alice drug us to the clothing section for a couple of shirts and summer pajama's; although they're the only ones who got anything from there.
"So, where next?" I asked once we had paid and left Victoria's Secret.
"I was thinking we should look for prom dresses while we were here." Bella suggested.
"Good idea Bella!" Alice said bouncing up and down with excitement.
Alice POV
"Good idea Bella!" I said bouncing up and down with excitement.
"So meet at my house?" I asked the girls two hours later, we smoothed out details before separating and going to our cars.
Jasper walked me to my car, helping me with my many bags; I had ended up with the two Abercrombie bags I got before we ate, two bags from Victoria Secrets, and two prom dresses. I got a long a-line hot pink dress with a jeweled bodice and a short black poofy strapless dress with a gold overlay and black bow around my waist. As I had explained to my sisters, I would wear the long dress for before pictures and dinner then I would change into the short one for the actual dance so I'd be able to move easier.
Bella POV
I groaned as Edward helped me put my new prom dress and Victoria's Secret bag into his car.
"What's the matter Bell?" he asked closing the trunk.
"Nothing, I'm just trying not to think about how much money Rose and Alice spent on me tonight." I explained, causing him to laugh.
"Same old Bella." And I was; I had ended up with not one but two bikinis that I didn't need as well as a prom dress. I'll admit though I did really love the dress. It was a floor length dark blue goddess type of dress with a jeweled inlay around the waist and right under the chest, a short one just above it and one the straps. Plus Edward thought I looked amazing in it and my dad wouldn't have a heart attack if I wore it.
Esme POV
Two hours later I had a bag of swim suits I didn't need but loved as well as an amazing dress. I smiled as Carlisle carefully laid my new prom dress in the back seat of his Mercedes. I was absolutely in love with it. It was an aqua color that had a form fitting bodice with a sparkly design on it down to the low waist that went into ruffles. Carlisle gave me a quick kiss as he helped me into the front seat.
Rose POV
I stood on my tip-toes and pressed me lips to Emmett's silky smooth lips one last time before I had to go. He tried to deepen this kiss, his tongue begging for entry, but I pulled back.
"I have to go; the girls will be waiting for me." I said opening the trunk of my M3; I had the top down so I didn't want to put my incredible prom dress, even if it was in a protective bag or new swim suits in the passenger seat.
The dress I ended up with one that was form fitting and a little darker then Esme's, with a sweat heart neckline and a gold halter that matched the gold bands directly under my breasts and around my waist. It had a high slit that went to my upper thigh and pooled in the back.
"I'll call you later 'k?" I told Emmett climbing into the driver's side.
"Okay, drive safe." He said bending down and kissing my forehead.
I was second to Alice's house, she was already there unloading her trunk.
"Hey, want some help?" I asked coming up behind her.
"Nope, I got it, just get the door for please." She said miraculously being able to carry her two dresses and four shopping bags. I opened all the doors between the garage and her room before saying anything else.
"So…I'm sorry I doubted you when you said borders guy was Jasper…you were right." Alice smiled.
"I know and it's okay…so you and Em looked pretty cozy huh?" she said with a hidden suggestion in her voice.
"Yea I guess." I said trying to sound casual.
"Oh, shit that hurt!" I heard Bella curse loudly from up stairs.
"We should go see if she's okay. And help her bring her stuff down here…maybe you should carry her dress so she doesn't step on it and rip it or something." Alice laughed turning off her bedroom light and motioning for me to go first.
"Bells, you ok—oh." I stopped mid word and started laughing. Bella was backed against the door kissing Edward. Alice and I tried to sneak back out but we had already interrupted.
"Sorry, we'll just go." I said between laughs. Edward held his hand up for us to wait.
"No, its okay, I should get going. I'll see you ladies later." He said before leaving. Once Bella had shut the door Alice and I were doubled over in laughter.
"I'll see you ladies later." Alice said attempting to lower her voice to sound like Eds. "Since when does he talk like that?!"
"I know, Ez is going to be sorry she missed that huh?!" I laughed. Bella glared at us and took her stuff down to Alice's room.
I peered out the window to look for Esme but was surprised to see Carlisle's Mercedes was in the drive way.
"No she won't! She's in the driveway..." I revised. Alice came and peered out the window with me. The windows of the car were tinted but we had a fairly good idea of what was happening.
I started laughing again.
"Oh man! Tonight was great! We're going to have A LOT to talk about tonight." I said slumping down onto the couch I was kneeling on.
Bella came back up stairs and was in a better mood.
"What are you guys laughing at?" She asked probably thinking we were still on about Edwards parting comment.
"Look out side!" Was all Alice could get out.
"Oo; a car backing out and Esme coming up the walk-way, that's hilarious." She said with a tone in her voice that was like what the hell.
"What?!" I said kneeling on the couch again. "Well, that's not what was happening a minute ago."
"Hey, sorry, Carlisle still can't take directions very well; I guess some things never change." Esme said hanging up her coat. I bit my lip looking at her and nodded; she looked at us suspiciously but said nothing; instead she took her bag and dress down stairs.
"So…you guys want to play truth or dare?" Alice asked when Esme had rejoined us.
A/N: Okay, so I just realized it was supposed to be in like February but I changed the date in Chapter 3 so it's now April, 18. Also pictures of everything bought in this chapter are on my homepage. OH and next chapter will probably be the guys but when I come back to the girls I'm not going to focus on the truth or dare because it gets a little boring…just a few big dares and some truths then I'll gloss over it. Okay so…reviews?
