Hey you all. Thanks so much for your reviews. I love to read them and I wanted to say that you are all so sweet!
Anyway, on with the chapter. :)

Oh, this was bad. Bella was standing there, being all gorgeous and dazzling and hardly wearing anything. And I was over here, having a tiny situation. Below the belt.
Why couldn't I be my confident self around Bella? I didn't have to be the jerk, but I could at least have my confidence. But something about Bella took that all away. Something about her made me feel like a complete moron.
"So yeah. My room." I said. Bella nodded.
"Right."
And we both walked away. I was so distracted by my meeting with Bella that I almost forgot I was heading to my room. I opened the door and quickly put on some music. I needed to be distracted. I had to stop thinking about Bella. Oh, Bella.
But nothing could keep my mind from her. I don't know what is was. I tried everything, but my mind kept slipping to the towel. This was not helping.
Ooh, I wanted to be with her. I wanted to kiss her again. But then she wouldn't push me away. I wanted to press her body against mine, my hand in her hair and one on her hip. To feel her lips against mine…
Oh, STOP IT Edward. This is getting out of hand.
I thought about taking a shower. But that wouldn't help much. Bella came out of the shower when I saw her.
Maybe I was in need of a guys night. Maybe I shouldn't be here hanging out by myself in my own room. I mean, maybe my so called friends wouldn't come (They were all on a stupid date with some stupid chick.) but there was still Emmett. And Jasper of course. I could just hang out with them. That's what I needed, a night without girls.

Stupid me. What was I thinking, a night without girls. Note to self: Never, ever again, decide you should hang out with Emmett and Jasper if you want to get away from girls and especially talking about girls.
With Jasper dating my sister and Emmett dating Jasper's sister, girls were all they talked about. Of course, they didn't discuss the details, since the girls they were talking about were still the other person's sister, but they discussed them a lot. And when I say a lot, I most definitely mean a lot.
I was just sitting there, pretending to listen to their stupid stories about their stupid girlfriends and their stupid advice about their stupid sister for each other. I know I probably mentioned stupid too much, but right now I was so bored, I didn't even care.
"So sometimes, Rose is like totally acting… weird. She's all like: 'Oh Emmett, you know what romantic thing Jasper just did for Alice?' or some other friend. I mean, why's she telling me that kind of stuff?"
Oh duh. How dumb could a person be. Emmett so didn't get girls. It was a miracle he was able to find a girl who could stay with him. And, I had to admit, Rosalie was definitely a hottie. Still, not my type.
"Well, she just wants you to be a little more romantic. Make a nice gesture." I saw Emmett's face full of understanding now.
"Still, why doesn't she just say so?"
"Because girls are weird. They don't go around saying stuff like that right to your face." Jasper thankfully was a little smarter than Emmett.
"Oh, thanks man. You're a genius. It's a good thing you're dating Alice. Otherwise I'd never know this kind of stuff."
I felt completely ignored. Hello? I was his real brother. And I knew a thing or two about girls, too. I mean, he knew that. Although.. Emmett wasn't the smartest person I've met, so that would explain it.
"No problem. If you have any questions, you can always ask me." Jasper said. I wished that'd count for me too.
"Oh thanks. I wouldn't know who else to ask." Hello, was I actually in this room? This was getting worse and worse. Now they acted like I never existed.
"Well, maybe Edward?" Jasper suggested. Was that really my name? Was I actually.. mentioned? In this conversation?
"Well apparently Edward doesn't really know a lot about girls. Seeing how he doesn't even get Bella to like him." My eyes popped open. Oh, he did not say that.
"Excuse me?" I asked him, not with a very nice tone in my voice.
"You get what I mean. I mean that you obviously want to date Bella, but I think she's not really up for it, seeing how she doesn't like you and all."
I was shocked. Really shocked. Didn't he get that that subject was a little painful? And I don't know how he has the guts to say it out loud.
"Ehm, I'm sorry Edward, but he's totally right. You have two options: 1. Forget about her. There are more girls around." I immediately shook my head. That was no option. "Okay, then option 2. You have to stop acting like such a moron, and actually try to get her to like you."
I thought about that.
"Definitely option 2. But how were you thinking on doing that?"

Oh my. Why did this always happen to moi? I never heard these stories from Alice before. Or Jessica. That's probably because they're no losers like I am.
But to run into Edward with just a towel on? I mean, come on. That was way over the top. That's even ridiculously stupid for me.
As soon as Edward walked to his room, I quickly ran to Alice' room. I didn't want to run into anymore people. Carlisle almost saw me, but luckily I managed to just trip twice on my way over there. So I was a little faster than normal.
"Bella?" Alice asked me when ran into her room. "Is that you?" I couldn't see Alice, but she was probably in her giant closet, picking out clothes and shoes and all that for tomorrow. And I had an idea she was also doing that for me.
"Yeah it's Bella. If you were hoping I would be Jasper, that's too bad. I'm not doing the things with you that you do with Jasper." Alice had to laugh about that.
"Good, Cause I'm not so sure I want to do those with you. Not that you're not a fantastic person.. But, you know why." I laughed too.
I was thinking about telling Alice about my meeting with Edward, but I decided I'd better not. I didn't know how Alice was going to react if I told her that.
"So, tell me? How did you like Jacob?" Alice asked, walking out of, indeed, her closet. I thought about her question. What díd I think of Jacob?
"Oh, I mean, he's a great guy. Handsome, nice and all that stuff. But I don't know.. I don't think he's really my type." Alice gave me a strange look.
"Handsome and nice is not your type?" She asked me.
"Well, I don't mean it like that.. It's just, I don't think we could be a couple, or whatever."
"To be honest.. I don't think that that's the problem. You two could definitely be a couple." Alice said, I looked at her curiously. "The problem's Edward."
That's it. No more Edward and Bella for the day. I'll try to update tomorrow, but it's gonna be hard.. I don't have a lot of time.. So I'll really try. Really!! Don't hate me if I can't find the time.
Please tell me what you think!
Xx me.
