"That is weird, but then again there are some people who don't kiss on the first date. Maybe he's one of them."
I shrugged, taking a seat on Alice's bed.
"I guess. It's just; I'm not used to guys being so shy around me. All the guys I've dated in the past were very forward and definitely had no problem kissing me on the first date. Maybe I'm not his type."
Alice sighed annoyed before responding.
"Didn't we go over this already? If he didn't like you, he wouldn't have asked you out again, now would he?" She challenged.
"I know, I know, but it's just so frustrating, we've been on two dates now, about to go on our third and he hasn't even tried to kiss me on the lips. I hate that he's so shy, seeing him nervous makes me nervous."
"I think it's cute. It's like your both teenagers again. Maybe this will be a good thing for you, to have an innocent relationship for once." Alice voiced.
I chuckled at her words.
"Yeah, because I'm so scandalous." I said sarcastically.
Alice rolled her eyes, lightly nudging my shoulder.
"You know what I mean. You haven't had the healthiest relationships."
I ignored her comment, changing the subject.
"So how are things working out between you and Rose?" I asked seeing Alice's mind start to wonder.
"Were good for now, I mean there's bumps in any relationship, but so far we're both willing to try. We'll see what happens."
A lot has happen in the last two weeks. First, Alice and Rose ran into each other, or rather Alice headed to one of her favorite gay clubs which Rosalie just so happen to be working that night. Alice headed in for another night of harmless fun with yet another clubber when she noticed Rose was there. She said she felt awkward hitting on girls at the same club where Rose was working and could clearly see. So, instead of spending her night having another one night stand she headed to the bar and order a drink from Rose. She said they talked the whole time, remembering all the good memories they shared together and realized there was still something there. So they started up again and it seems everything is working out.
Second, I went out with Jasper again and he was sweet and shy just like our first date. I hoped maybe his nervousness was just first date jitters but that wasn't the case. Jasper had yet to kiss me but he did ask me out again. Hopefully, third time will be a charm.
Lastly, Angela called me up a few days ago saying how she missed me and wanted to see me soon, so we made plans to meet for lunch, today actually.
I was nervous about meeting up with Angela again. It's been a month since I last saw her and a month since I last heard anything about her or Edward. I wasn't even sure if they were still together or not, but judging by how happy Angela's tone was when she called me, I had a feeling she was still with Edward. which worried me. I wondered when I did meet up with her if she would bring Edward.
I made my way over to the table seeing Angela's friendly smile. I sighed in relief noticing she was Edward free.
"Bella, I missed you so much." She gushed giving me a death squeeze.
"Yeah, me too." I lied.
I hated to admit it because Angela was a genuinely nice girl but, the last month without her felt great. I felt relieved because it meant I was away from all the Edward drama.
I took a seat once we parted, and grabbed the menu, scanning the food list. I could feel Angela's eyes on me the whole time which was quite unnerving. It was as if she was expecting me to start the conversation. There was an awkward silence before she began to talk.
"So, what's new with you?"
"Umm, not much. I got a new roommate, she's nice. Her name is Alice." I said not sure what else to say.
Angela frowned slightly at my reply.
"So, nothing else?"
"Well, I've seeing this guy."
She smiled brightly at the news.
"That's great Bella. I'm so happy for you."
"Thanks." I replied before the waitress came to get our order.
Once we had our food order Angela blurted out.
"Hey, we should have a double date."
I shuddered at her words.
"Double date?"
Angela was beaming.
"Yeah, you know? You and your new guy with me and Edward."
Edward.
Angela noticed my lack of enthusiasm.
"Oh, come on Bella it will be fun."
"Angela I don't know if that's such a good idea."
"Bella it's been a month and I know you haven't been around, but Edward really pulled his act together. He's never late anymore. He always comes over to take me on our dates on time; he treats me how a woman should be treated."
"Uh huh, so you two are still going strong than?" I asked skeptical.
"Well, yeah. I love him." Angela confessed.
I nearly choked on my soda at her words.
Love?
"Listen, Angela, I'm not sure if my date will want to double date. I mean, we had a date planned and it was meant to be just the two of us, you know?"
"Oh, I understand, I just thought it would be cool. I want to be a part of your life Bella. I mean, you were more than just my roommate, you were my friend. Please don't shut me out because of your past with Edward." She stated sadly.
I let out a heavy sigh.
"I'll ask him."
"What?" Angela asked in confusion.
"I'll ask my date if he wants to double date with you guys."
"Oh, thank you Bella. You made me so happy." Angela claimed embracing me in yet another hug.
"Yeah, yeah. We'll see what he says."
I asked jasper and he agreed much to my dismay.
Jasper and I made our way hand and hand over to Angela who was waving us over.
"That girl looks familiar. I think I know her." Jasper announced as we head toward the table.
"Really?" I asked turning to him in disbelief.
"I'm so glad you guys could make it." Angela voiced breaking Jasper's and my stare.
It wasn't till than that Edward emerged from the back heading towards us. He looked the same, attractive but cocky. His eyes landed on mine briefly before moving to Jasper's.
"Jasper?"
"Edward?"
I looked back and forth between the two in shock.
"You know him?" I whisper to Jasper somewhat panicked.
Before he could respond Angela spoke letting out a nervous giggle.
"Well this is awkward."
Jasper let out a chuckle at the weirdness before answering.
"Edward's my roommate."
"Roommate." I repeated meeting Edward's narrowed eyes.
"Wait, this is the girl you were talking about, the knock out you liked so much." Edward questioned.
A smiled grew on my face; I turned to find Jasper blushing.
Edward laughed out loud harshly.
"This is unbelievable." He said in annoyance.
Angela gushed.
"I know right, who would of thought?"
She was the only one clueless and completely thrilled about the situation, as if we were one big happy family.
The night consisted of hard stares between Edward and me. Jasper and Angela were the only ones trying to make light of the situation.
"You two are so cute together. I can really see a connection between the two of you." Angela babbled on about Jasper and me with a smile on her face.
Edward looked just as uncomfortable and stiff as I was.
"Yeah, that reminds me, you should meet my parents." Jasper joked giving me a side squeeze.
Angela squealed in delight as if Jasper was being serious. I attempted to smile at Jasper's joke but I'm sure it looked strained. I knew Jasper meant well but nothing could ease the tension I was feeling at that moment.
I watched as Angela gave Edward a peck on the check, taking his hand in hers. His eyes stayed trained to me the whole time. It was as if he didn't even realize Angela was there.
Once the awkward dinner was over Jasper walked me to my door. I just wanted the day to be over with already. I gave Jasper a quick goodbye about to go inside when he halted my steps, taking my hand in his.
"Look, I know it's awkward that I'm your ex's roommate, if it's too weird we can end it. I just have to be honest with you; I don't want to do that. I really like you and…"
I interrupted Jasper in the middle of his speech capturing his lips in a soft kiss. He open his eyes stun when I broke away from his mouth.
"I really like you too, and I can deal with it."
"Really?"
"Really."
