Playlist : 'No Sleep Tonight', by The Faders.
Bella...
Alice pulled me through to our room and shoved me towards the bathroom.
"Shower, now! And don't forget to wash your hair! With the strawberry shampoo, Jasper said Edward loves the smell of it!" I groaned and grabbed a towel from the fresh pile of laundry on the sofa before heading through to the bathroom. I stripped down and stepped into the warm, and welcoming, shower. The warm water relaxed my muscles and I washed my hair thoroughly, using conditioner twice so it was really silky smooth. I stepped out and wrapped the warm fluffy towel around my body and reached for my toothbrush. Alice waltzed in and grabbed my clothes off the floor.
"Hurry up Bella, we've got to get through the shower too!" I rolled my eyes and brushed my teeth hurriedly, not wanting to keep Alice and Rose waiting. Rose rushed into the bathroom when I stepped out, slamming the door closed behind her. I looked at Alice, who shrugged.
"I think she was bursting for a pee..." I laughed and followed Alice through to our room. A set of lacy underwear was already laid out on my bed and a dark blue silky dressing gown. I pulled them on and rubbed my long hair with the towel to get it semi dry. Alice was standing at the dressing table, a hair dryer and a brush in each hand and a determined look on her face.
"Let the torture begin..." I murmured, sitting down.
Ten minutes later my hair was blow dried to perfection and Rose had come back from her shower, clad in a matching dressing gown to mine, but in crimson not dark blue. Alice had already plugged in a pair of curlers and handed them to Rose.
"When those heat up can you start curling her hair? I'm gonna go for a shower." She grabbed her green silk dressing gown and rushed to the bathroom. I settled back into the chair again and Rose began curling my hair perfectly.
Alice came back when Rose was half done, her black spiky hair almost dry. She rolled up the sleeves of her dressing gown and reached for her make-up case.
"No, Alice, not the make-up bag of torture!" I pretended to cry. Alice stuck her tongue out at me through the mirror and Rose laughed.
"Now, now Bella. You should know by now the more you struggle, the worse it is for you. So zip it!"
--
Two hours later, we were all ready. I had to say, we all looked stunning. Rose was wearing a red satin dress, with a pleated skirt and a red satin belt sucking in her waist and the same pair of shoes I had been wearing today. Her blonde hair was in its natural state, slightly waving down to the middle of her back and Alice had sprayed silver glittery hairspray in it. She had simple make-up on, lots of eye liner and glossy red lipstick. Alice was wearing an orange jersey dress, with a halter neck and a jewelled design at her lower back and a pair of orange and silver high heels. Alice had applied orange Barry M Dazzle Dust on her eyelids and a clear lip gloss on her lips. Her short hair had been spiked up to perfection with lots of gel. And finally, me. I was wearing a dark blue halter neck dress, with a chiffon skirt. A black ribbon was tied around my waist and at the back was a criss-cross design of straps. I wore a pair of dark blue strappy high heels, with a diamanté pattern down the front. My hair was curled perfectly and messed up like 'sex hair' as Alice put it. My eyes were dark with lots of dark blue eye shadow and mascara, and I had a dark red lipstick on my lips. I smiled at Alice and Rose and they smiled back.
"We look good..." Rose grinned.
"Correction! We look amazing!" Alice squealed, jumping up and down in her heels. I didn't know how she did it! I could hardly walk in heels, let alone jump around in them! I grabbed my digital camera off my bedside table and switched it on.
"Picture time!" We snapped a few shots, some serious, some of us pulling faces and finally catwalk ones of us. Then we were ready to go. My hands were shaking as we went down in the lift to the car park. Lots of boys were eyeing us up as we walked past and we played it up to our best advantage, we all swung our hips and Rose dropped her purse and bent down to pick up, almost flashing people with her fancy underwear. In Alice's car we all burst out laughing.
"That was hysterical!" Alice laughed, clutching her stomach.
"Did you see Tyler?! He looked like he was about to explode!" I giggled from the back seat. Rose nodded in agreement.
"Or he was about to pitch a tent!" Rose cackled gleefully and we all fell about laughing again, not able to contain it. When we all stopped Alice checked our make-up before starting the engine and racing off the restaurant.
Edward...
"Eddie poo! We have to go soon!" I was in the shower when Emmett started hammering on the door in an annoying fashion. It sounded like he was about to punch a hole through the actual door. I switched off the shower and wrapped a towel around my waist before peering at my reflection in the steamed up mirror. Emmett banged on the door again. "EDWARD! Other people need the shower too you know!" I grabbed my toothbrush and brushed them quickly before opening the door. Emmett landed at my feet with a funny noise. I laughed and stepped over him nimbly.
"About to burst open the door were we Emmett?" Emmett mumbled something inaudible and slammed the door shut behind him. I shook my head and walked through to the bathroom. Jasper was standing in front of the full length mirror, pulling at his cuff links. He was completely dressed in black. Black jeans, a silk black shirt and a loose red tie. He pointed to a pile of clothes on my bed.
"Alice brought these over. Apparently we all have to be matching..." I spotted no red amongst the black in my pile, just a flash of yellow. "Apart from the ties. So you've got yellow, I've got red and Emmett's got..."
"Pink?!" Emmett stormed into the room, his silk shirt totally undone. "I got pink?!" I laughed at the pink tie in his hand and Jasper tried to keep a straight face.
"Apparently Rosalie likes men in p-pink..." Jasper's voice broke at the last word and collapsed into fits of laughter like me. Emmett growled and stormed out the door again. I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked at Jasper.
"Excited?" I asked, pulling on the jeans. Jasper nodded and paced around the room. "Nervous?" He sighed and flopped down onto his bed.
"Oh God Edward... You have no idea how nervous I am. I think I'm gonna ask her out, you know, to be my official girlfriend... I just..." He trailed off and rubbed his hands over his eyes in an exasperated fashion. I grabbed the shirt and started doing up the buttons, leaving the top two undone.
"You don't know how to do it, do you?" I asked, sitting down to tie my shoes. Jasper shook his head. "Well, whatever you do, you'll know she's gonna say yes." He looked up.
"What? How?" Jasper looked confused.
"Oh come on Jazz..." I straightened up and picked up the tie. "You guys are so into each other it's unreal, it's not like she'll say no..." I started doing up the tie and I saw Jasper smile slightly.
"Really?" I nodded and Jasper stood up, a wide grin now plastered on his face.
"Ready?" Emmett asked, walking into the room, I tried not to laugh at his pink tie. We both nodded and headed out to my Volvo. Jasper handed me the directions and I immediately remembered the place.
"Shit..." I cursed, having a sudden flashback to when I was there last.
"What?" Jasper asked, his face concerned.
"Nothing..." I scrunched up the bit of paper and put it in the empty cigarette ashtray. "Nothing at all..."
We arrived at 'La Bella Italia' about twenty minutes later and as I stepped out the car, I noticed a yellow Porsche parked a few spaces away. Alice... I shook my head and took a minute to admire the car. What? I was a guy, I could admire a car now and again... Jasper pulled at my sleeve and we went inside. It was a small cosy restaurant, small circular tables with candles sat dotted around the room. A female waitress with bleached blonde hair and an orange tan walked up to us.
"Hi, I'm Nicole. Do you have a reservation?" She smiled at us, eyeing us up and down in turn. I cleared my throat.
"Yeah, I think we're supposed to meeting some friends here. Under the name of Alice Cullen?" The waitress looked over the leather book and smiled.
"Sure, follow me please. They haven't arrived yet, but your table is prepared." We followed her into the restaurant, to the back where a large table was laden with red checked table cloths and candles. We sat down and Nicole reached into her pocket for a pad and a pen.
"Can I get you anything to drink?" She asked, smiling at me.
"Um, a bottle of sparkling water with six glasses and six Cokes please." Jasper jumped in to order before I could. Nicole nodded and smiled again.
"I'll be right back with those." She walked away, swinging her hips in a ridiculous fashion. Her skirt was way to short and her top rode up, showing some bare flesh. I looked away, disgusted. My Bella would never wear anything like that... Wait, my Bella. Shut up Edward, shut up!
"Hi boys..." We all looked up simultaneously and gawped at the sight. The girls were standing in front of us, all wearing amazing dresses. Alice's was orange and matched perfectly with her dark hair. Rosalie was wearing a red dress and a tight belt that looked stunning with red lipstick and blonde hair. My eyes worked their way up Bella's body, taking in every inch of her. She looked stunning. She looked beautiful. She looked like an angel. She wore a dark blue dress that went well with her gorgeous pale skin and dark hair. Her usually amazing hair was curled and hung about her face, making her look even more sexy. Her red lips were plump and looked so kissable. I fought the urge to leap over the table and kiss her senseless. The dress was simple yet stunning, dark blue with a floaty skirt, and a black belt that pulled in her tiny waist. I blinked a few times then raised my eyes to her face. She was smiling angelically.
"Hello Edward." She giggled, a slight blush creeping over her face. I cleared my throat.
"Evening Bella." She walked around the table and sat down in the seat next to me, causing her scent of strawberry shampoo and flowery perfume to wash over me. I breathed deeply and leaned close to her neck.
"You look, absolutely, stunning tonight..." I whispered, my lips moving against her ear. She shivered and I kissed her cheek lightly. Nicole came back to the table with the tray of drinks and gawped at the three girls.
"H-here you go..." She stammered, setting the drinks down in front of us. I smiled my infamous crooked smile at her and she scurried away quickly. Bella punched my arm lightly and laughed.
"What?" I asked, raising my hands in mock surrender.
"You shouldn't dazzle people like that!" Bella laughed. Dazzle people? That was a first for me.
"Do I dazzle you?" I asked, raising my eyebrows suggestively. Bella took a drink of her Coke.
"Frequently..." She sighed. I ran my hand over her bare thigh and squeezed it lightly.
"I'll try not to..." I murmured. Soon enough Nicole came back over, still looking slightly disappointed.
"Are you ready to order?" We ordered quickly and then Alice turned to Jasper.
"I see you didn't wear the pink tie then Jasper... Why not?" I looked at Jasper, then at Emmett who was fuming.
"Um..." Jasper looked down, trying to avoid Emmett's death glare.
"Your pink tie?" Emmett growled, clutching the edge of the table. Rose laughed and placed her hand on his.
"Now now Em. Don't break the table..." Everyone laughed apart from Emmett.
"Jasper?" Jasper looked up at Emmett.
"Yes Emmett?"
"Swap... Now!" Jasper pulled off his red tie hurriedly, without un-tying it. Emmett shoved the pink material into his hands and pulled on the red one with a flourish. "That's better..." I looked at Jasper who was tying the pink tie with a frown on his face. Alice cupped his chin.
"What's wrong Jazz? Don't you like pink?" She giggled and took the tie in her hands, tying it for him. "I think it suits you..." This time everyone laughed.
