Chapter 12:
All Dressed Up With Nowhere to Go
BPOV
The loud and obnoxious beeping of my alarm clock rang into my ears, causing my eyelids to flutter open quickly. I leaped out of my bed and slid on my slippers in one swift motion, without tripping for once. I spent about 30 minutes in the bathroom, doing my daily morning wakeup routine: taking a shower, brushing my teeth, getting dressed, and doing my hair. I got out to see Edward still sleeping, all tangled in his sheets. I sighed lightly as I rolled my eyes. I walked quietly over to his bedside and stood by him, hesitant about what I should do to wake him up. I thought about some good ways that you see in the movies like a splash of water, or a tickle to the face with a feather, but I'm not that cruel.
"Edward, wake up." I said bluntly in a normal tone.
"Hm." He hummed gently in his sleep.
"No seriously! Don't make me smack you, Edward!" He let out a loud snore and continued to stay in his deep slumber. "Nothing infuriates me more than what you're doing right now!" I let out an exasperated sigh.
I looked at him lying there in front of me and then studied his facial features closely. He was perfect, and seemed to have no flaws at all. It just recently hit me that I'm actually living with this god-like human being! An idea struck me as I looked away from him, and it was to just scare the life out of him. I took a few steps back and got into a running stance, getting ready to pounce. I leaped onto his bed and began jumping over his still body. Okay, maybe I am a bit cruel.
"EDWARD, WAKE UP!" I shouted as I bounced up and down on his bed.
"Whaaat!" He groaned as he sat up.
"Get up, get up!" I continued jumping.
"Why? What's wrong?" He rubbed his eyes slowly.
"Nothing's wrong…" I looked at him oddly.
"Then what's the reason for this?" he yawned.
"You need to wake up."
"But what for?" he whined, in his 'I'm annoyed' voice.
"You're kidding, right?" He kept a tired and blank stare. I plummeted onto my knees next to him.
"What?!" he glanced at me confusedly.
"You seriously don't know what today is?"
"Not really..." My stomach dropped instantly due to his response and I dropped my head in disappointment. "I'm joking; of course I know what today is." He grinned at me.
"You do?" I snapped my head up as a wide smile crept upon my face.
"How could I forget? You've only mentioned it ten times daily all last week." He smiled. "Happy birthday, Bella."
"Thank you!" I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck, squeezing him into a hug. He hugged back and we stayed like this for about two minutes. "I should probably get off you now." I chuckled nervously as I hopped over his legs and off the bed.
"So, uh, what do you want to do today?" He asked as he got out of bed.
"I don't know, I guess stay in, order pizza, and movies or something." I shrugged.
"We do that everyday. We need to get out for once." He laughed.
"My birthday celebrations are usually small and boring; just my parents and my friends. Oh! That reminds me, its Alice's birthday, too. I need to call her." I rushed over to my table where my phone was charging, unplugged it, and quickly dialed Alice's number. It went straight to her voice mail. "Hmm, it must be off. I'll try again later." I spoke to myself, throwing the phone onto my bed.
Suddenly a loud knock on the door sounded, catching me off guard. But before Edward could open the door, Emmett rammed it down and stampeded inside, with Jasper following behind.
"Where's the Birthday Girl? There she is!" She sang as he ran up to me, lifting me up into his arms. He spun around numerous times before I yelled at him to stop. "Happy birthday, Bella!" he set me down and gave me his gift with a card.
"Oh, Emmett, you didn't have to." I smiled sweetly up at him. (A/N: you know how the actual Bella despises her birthdays, haha, well this one doesn't that much xD)
"Open it, open it!" He repeated excitedly.
"Okay, okay!" I laughed as I tore the tape off of the gift.
"I wrapped it myself." He smiled charmingly down at me.
"Hm, I can tell." I struggled to rip the paper off, but when I finally got it unwrapped, it was a wooden case. I opened it and my eyes shot open in astonishment. It was a set of paint, paint brushes, pastels and a book of drawing paper.
"You like it?"
"Emmett-"
"I saw these awesome paintings and drawings in the art room one day, and they all had your name on it, so I figured you loved to do art." He said.
"I love this, a lot. It's perfect! Thank you." I gave him a huge hug and a quick peck on the cheek.
"Aw shucks, it's nothing." He blushed deeply, making me giggle.
"Here you go, Bella, happy birthday." Jasper handed me a card that had forty dollars in it.
"Thank you, Jasper, but you didn't have to-"
"I didn't know what you would like, so I thought about just giving you cash, and then you can get whatever you wanted." He explained.
"That's very thoughtful of you, thank you." I walked over and gave him a hug.
"Thank you guys for the awesome gifts. It means so much to receive things from you." I smiled at them.
"Don't forget to open my present!" a sweet, feminine voice spoke out from behind me. My body stiffened at the thought of who could actually be standing by the door. I turned around slowly and my eyes met with Alice's bright green orbs.
"Alice?" I questioned the figure in front of me, making sure it wasn't some kind of mirage or crazy fantasy.
"Hey there, best friend!" She extended her arms out to me as I ran up and yanked her into a hug bigger than what she's ever given me.
"Oh my god, it's really you! You're really here!" I began to cry as I squeezed Alice tighter.
"Yeah I know, I can't believe it either!" She let go of me and stepped back, examining me from head to toe. "Did you get taller?" She laughed.
"You probably just got shorter." I giggled.
"Happy birthday!" We exclaimed excitedly in unison.
"Um, a little help here!" I heard another familiar voice call out from the hallway.
"Is that…" my eyes widened at Alice.
"Mhmm." She nodded, smiling back. I ran outside and saw Rosalie struggling down the corridor, hauling a month's or two supply of luggage behind her.
"Rose!" I ran to her happily. She dropped everything immediately and pulled me into a warm hung as we collided into each other. "I missed you so much!"
"I missed you, too! When Alice told me we were coming to visit you, it took me about twenty minutes to get all packed up."
"Haha, you packed all of this in less than a day?" I asked astounded.
"No, this is all Alice's. My three suitcases are still with the taxi outside." She said, emphasizing on the "three".
"I'll go help you. Hey Alice, why don't you roll these inside, I'll be right back." I called to Alice before I headed outside with Rosalie to get the rest of the luggage. When we got everything and walked back up to the room, Alice was sitting on the couch with Jasper, making small talk.
"Bella, oh my gosh, I envy you so much!" she whispered into my ear when she ran up to me.
"I see you've met Jasper and Emmett already." She nodded back in response with a wide grin plastered across her face.
"Emmett, Jasper, this is Rosalie. My other, other half." I laughed as I introduced her. Jasper shook Rose's hand lightly then continued on chatting with Alice.
"Hello there, I'm Emmett Cullen." Emmett sauntered over to us and reached out for her hand.
"Rosalie." She giggled back
"What a pleasure. That's a beautiful name, Rosalie, is it French?" He asked in his flirtatious voice.
"He tried that on me first day I got here." I muttered to Alice jokingly.
The bathroom door opened and Edward stepped out looking incredibly handsome. He was wearing a nice pair of denim jeans and an American Eagle graphic T-shirt and his hair was nicely fluffed. He must've blow dried it, I thought to myself. He looked up and grew confused at the large number of people in the room. "Umm, did something happen while I was gone?" he asked confusedly scratching the back of his head.
"Edward, meet Alice and Rosalie. They are my two best friends from back home. Guys, this is my roommate, Edward." He waved at them and they waved back in return. "He's Emmett's brother."
"I'm guessing the good looks run in the family." Rosalie giggled. I blushed slightly at that comment.
"Why, thank you very much." Emmett pushed Jasper aside and positioned himself next to Rose.
"So, guys, what are doing here; not that I don't want you two here." I smiled.
"Oh my, funny story, you won't believe! Our school got on fire!" Alice exclaimed gleefully.
"What?! How'd that happen?"
"Some stupid teacher who didn't know how to use a damn microwave put a container with foil in there. He then left, and when he went back to check on his meal, the teacher's lounge was engulfed in flames. The walls, the floor, the door, everything, including that microwave-"
"And his lunch!" Alice butted in.
"…And his lunch were ruined. The principal then issued a month off of school, so that the whole section of the school can be repaired and constructed back to normal. So we decided to come visit you!" Rosalie said joyfully.
"That teacher is never coming back!" Alice scoffed out loud.
"Wow, that's crazy. But I'm so glad you guys are safe and that you came to visit me!" I hugged them both.
"Oh, your parents say hi and send you all their love. They miss you a lot, and they want you to call them as soon as possible." Rosalie mentioned.
"Oh, shoot, I forgot. I haven't spoken to them in like 3 days! I'll be right back." I rushed out of my room and into the hallway where I got to call my parents. The phone call didn't last too long. They asked how school was, but I just couldn't tell them that I'm in an all guys' school, only because they'd have my butt on a plane back home in an instant. They wished me a happy birthday and I promised to call them back a little later in the day. When I got back into the room, everyone was sitting around in the living room and talking amongst themselves.
"So, Bella, tell us everything. How's the school?" Rosalie patted the open space next to her on the couch, calling me over to have a seat.
"It's good."
"Oh, c'mon Bells! You're the only girl at this school; there has to be some crazy stuff that's happened." Alice teased.
"Well, other than my roommate being a guy, Mike Newton bugging me everyday, and having eyes on me twenty-four seven, everything's pretty normal here." I laughed.
"Do you like it here?" Rosalie asked.
"Yeah, it's great. I've met these three awesome guys right here, and school's pretty good."
"Well the important thing is that you're happy here." Rosalie smiled.
"Yeah, and I am." I grinned back.
"Alright, alright. So what's the plan for tonight? It's our birthday and I wanna get my par-tayyyy on!" Alice exclaimed.
"It's not like we're turning twenty-one. We can't do much, really."
"Yeah, we can't get into a club or anything." Rose pouted.
"I can get us into one." Emmett suggested. "Well, if you guys are up for it, I mean."
"Really!? Oh yes, I'm totally up for that!" Alice shouted with glee.
"How?" I questioned him.
"Well, my friend's brother is a bouncer at one of the local clubs, and he can get us in."
"Are you positive? I don't want my hopes crushed." Alice said.
"And I don't want to get into any kind of trouble." Rosalie said worriedly.
"Don't worry ladies. Just stick with me and everything will be fine." Emmett stated while wrapping his arms around my friends' shoulders.
"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes.
"So is everyone in?" He asked.
"Yeah!" Everyone aside from me responded.
"So, you in Bella?"
"I don't know-"
"C'mon Bella, you only turn sixteen once!" Alice begged with everyone else pleading with her.
"Fine, I'm in." I shrugged. They all cheered in victory.
"So if we're going to celebrate our birthdays in a club, we need some out of this world outfits. I say we hit the mall A.S.A.P!" Alice grabbed her jacket and headed for the door.
"But you guys just got here." Edward said confusedly.
"That's Alice for you." I laughed as Rosalie pulled me out the door. "I don't know when we'll be back; heck I may never come back alive!" I joked.
"Oh hush! Let's go already!" Alice pleaded.
"Emmett, can you take us, please!" I asked.
"WHAT!? You crazy." He folded his arms across his chest.
"You don't have to stay. Just drop us off, and then I'll give you a call to pick us up." I reasoned with him.
"That's a big waste of gas and my time!"
"Emmett, don't be that way. It's their birthdays." Jasper tried to change his mind.
"Nope, I refuse to be their chauffeur to the mall and everywhere else they wanna go!" He refused.
"Let me try." Rosalie whispered to me. "Hey Emmett, do you think you can reconsider? Tonight's special for Alice and Bella, and I want to look nice." She walked up to him and purred in his ear flirtatiously.
"Heh, well, I guess I can drop you guys off."
"Awe, you're such a sweetie. Thank you." She batted her eyelashes at him.
"Seeing you tonight will be thanks enough." He sighed.
"CAN WE PLEASE GO ALREADY!?" Alice shouted with her teeth clenched tightly.
"Alice, the mall isn't going anywhere." I said.
"No, but my patience is!" she said as she left the room. "I'll be waiting outside." She shouted from down the hallway.
"She's adorable." Jasper sighed in infatuation.
-+-
"Are you crazy, I can't wear that" I looked at Alice astounded as she held up a fiery red cocktail dress that had a black bow tied around the waist. We were at Macy's for about an hour or so and none of us had found the right outfit for tonight.
"You're the crazy one. This dress is hot! You'll look gorgeous in it." Alice chimed.
"No I won't! I've never worn a dress like that before in my life."
"Just give it a try, Bella. We've only got an hour and a half left to find our outfits." Rosalie pleaded.
"Yeah, go try it on!" Alice shoved me into an empty fitting room stall and pulled the curtain shut.
I grudgingly slipped into the dress, adjusted it, tied the bow around the waist, and stepped out to show Alice and Rosalie.
"Oh my god!" they gasped in unison.
"What?"
"It's perfect on you, you're definitely getting that!" Alice smiled at me.
"I don't know. I mean, it's really short, and I don't really have the boobs to fill it out." I looked down at my chest. The dress ended around my thigh, it didn't even come up to my knees.
"Oh shut up, you're boobs are bigger than mine, and you look fine. You're getting that dress!" she argued with me.
"Alice is right. That's your party dress. It suits you perfectly!" Rose agreed.
"Well, if you guys say so. You two know best." I said sarcastically. "But I'm only getting it because it's on sale!"
"Whatever, you know you love it!" Rosalie giggled.
"Yay, now my turn!" Alice ran into the cubicle and pulled the curtain closed. She stepped out seconds later wearing a short cocktail dress that came down an inch above her knees. It was a swirling mix of black, hot pink, and ivory and it had a cute bow by the bust.
"Awe, Alice. I love it." I grinned at her.
"It's so you. Get it!" Rosalie agreed.
"I love the colors!" Alice spun around in circles as the dress twirled around with her.
"I can't find my dress yet." Rosalie pouted in disappointment.
"We'll help you." I grabbed her by the hand and pulled her to the nearest rack that had the most colorful party dresses.
"How about this one?" she pulled out a blindingly bright hot pink dress with huge puffy sleeves and even bigger ruffles at the bottom.
"This isn't the eighties, Rose!" I laughed at the monstrosity that was in her hand. She slipped the dress back into its place and continued looking through the rack.
"Oh, this one's pretty." I picked up a pink halter dress that had a lacey black print on it and two black bows on each shoulder. I handed it to her and she held it up to her body as she examined herself in the mirror.
"This is cute. You have good taste Bella." She smiled.
"So, Rosalie James, is this lovely number going to be your pick to wear on the awesomest night ever?" Alice held her fist up to her face, then to Rosalie's, as if it was a microphone and they were on a game show.
"Yes Alice, this one's a winner!" Rosalie played along.
"Oh ya, now let's go pay for our dresses and get out of here!" Alice rushed to the nearest check out area.
"Alice rushing to leave the mall, well that's a first." I laughed.
"I just wanna go back and get ready for our partying tonight!" she squealed like a little girl.
So after we paid for out dresses, shoes, and found some great accessories to go along with them, we got into Emmett's car and headed back to the dorms to get ready. It took long since there is only one bathroom and three girls getting ready. Edward went over to the guy's dorm room to get ready, leaving the room to us.
"So, how long will you be staying?" I asked the two of them.
"Until you get tired of us and kick us out." Alice joked.
"Not long. We don't wanna get in the way of your studies and everything." Rosalie said.
"Studies schmudies, we'll be staying for about five days, a week tops." Alice nodded.
"I'm not staying in a dingy motel room for a whole week. Ew."
"Oh please Rose. Ever since she saw the movie Vacancy, she freaks every time the word motel is mentioned." Alice rolled her eyes.
"No! It's just I don't like how those cheap motels keep their rooms. It's like they barely clean them." She cringed at the thought.
"Haha, have you even stayed in one before?" I chuckled lightly as I asked her.
"Well, not really, but I've seen all I have to in the movies and TV."
"You're guys know you can stay here." I smiled.
"Are you sure? This is a school and we're not students here." Alice asked.
"I'll confirm it to be positive, but I think the head mistress will allow it."
"How do you think Edward will be about it? This is his room, too." Rosalie rose an eyebrow.
"I'll take care of that, also. Don't worry!"
"Maybe we can go to classes with you at least once." Alice suggested.
"Oh yeah, definitely." I smiled. I was so glad my friends came to see me; I couldn't wait to spend time with them, to catch up on everything I missed.
Just then a knock on the door was heard and put our conversation on hold. "It's open." I shouted out. The door opened and Emmett entered.
"Okay, something has been added to our plans. Get dressed and be ready before seven."
"Wait…what? What for?" I asked confusedly.
"We're going out to dinner first, and then we'll hit the club."
"Awe, how sweet." Alice cooed.
"Alright, so you girls know the plan. Be ready by 6:45." And with that, he left, shutting the door lightly behind him.
"I can't help but think that these guys are up to something." I pondered.
"Well, you heard the big man, let's start getting ready. There are three of us and only one shower." Alice said.
"And it's almost four, we need to hurry up."
"Thanks for the early warning, Emmett." I whispered as I rolled my eyes.
"Wow, we only have about two hours or so to shower, do hair and makeup, and get dressed? That's not possible!" Rose worried as she gathered her things from a suitcase and headed first for the bathroom. "I call dibs on first!" and she slammed the door shut.
"That's no fair!" Alice pouted as she folded her arms across her chest.
About twenty minutes later she came out and got all her hair products ready. "Next!" she called out.
"You can go Alice. You honestly take longer than me." I laughed.
"Ok, I'll try to not take too long." She scurried off to the bathroom. While I waited I decided to get my dress out from the bag and my black pumps and lay them on my bed. When Alice was done, I myself got in and took a quick shower. When I finished, I dried myself off and wrapped my hair up in a towel and slipped into my bathrobe.
"Bella, hurry up! I wanna style your hair and do your makeup!" Alice shouted.
"Typical Alice." I thought to myself as a smile crept onto my face. "Okay, I'll be right there." I stepped out and took a glance over at Alice who was gripping a round brush in one hand, and the blow dryer in the other.
"Should I be worried?" I said.
"Not at all! When I'm thru with you, you won't be able to recognize yourself."
"You mean that in a good way, right?" I asked feeling skeptical.
"Just sit!" she pulled out a chair and forced me to sit down. After what felt like forever of drying my hair, Alice then took out her curling iron and began curling sections of my hair.
"We're not gonna make it!" Rose panicked as she looked over at the clock. It was 6:15 and we still had a long way to go.
"Don't worry. I'll call the boys and tell them to give us another hour or so. They'll understand." I assured her.
"Yeah, they should know that it takes at least three hours for a girl to get completely beautified." Alice smirked.
I took out my phone and called Edward. It rang four times until he picked up. "Edward, we have a problem."
"Err, I don't know if I'll be able to help you with that, seeing that I'm not a gir-"
"Edward!" I yelled at him through the phone.
"What!" he mocked me.
"We need more time to get ready."
"How much time?" he asked.
"A lot more; we're not even close. None of us are dressed yet because we're still fixing out hair and doing our makeup." I explained to him.
"Okay, one second." He put me on hold.
"Kay." I began fidgeting in my chair.
"Alright. Do you think you'll be ready by seven thirty?"
"Yeah, that's fine! Thank you."
"The three of us will be there by then."
"See ya later." I hung up and allowed Alice to continue with my hair. When she was finished curling it and adding a nice rhinestone barrette, she started with me makeup. She gave me nice smoky eyes and red lips, but not that bright too much red. She told me to go check myself out in the mirror, and when I did, I truly did not know the girl starring back at me. Alice was right; I was unrecognizable, and it was definitely in a good way.
"You likey?" she giggled.
"I love! You are my beauty guru. Thank you so much." I hugged her tightly, but cautiously, to not smudge anything.
"You're welcome; besides you deserve it."
"I'm gonna go get dressed now, so you can go doll yourself up." I smiled as I walked off. I walked over to my bed and slipped on my ruby red dress. I tightened and straightened out the bow and got into my black pumps. I stalked over to the mirror and was in awe. I looked like a runway model. I turned and examined my reflection a bit more.
"Yes, your butt looks big, if you were wondering." Alice joked as she walked out of the bathroom.
"Alice!" I looked at her incredulously.
"What! Every girl wants to look good. There's nothing wrong with that." She laughed. Rosalie then got out of the bathroom, with her hair and makeup all done. She got dressed and into her heels and then walked over to the mirror to get the final look.
"Oh, Rosalie, you're gorgeous."
"Thanks, you look incredibly pretty, Bells!"
"Why, thank ya!" I placed a hand on my hip and laughed.
"Is Alice almost ready yet? The boys will be coming soon." I glanced over to the clock which read 7:25.
"Here I am!" Alice exclaimed as she twirled out of the bathroom and into the center of the room.
"Wow." I awed at her. Her dress looked perfect on her and the way she did her makeup made her look like a Covergirl.
"Awe Alice, it's perfect!" Rosalie smiled.
"So will they be coming anytime soon?" Alice paced back and forth as she put on her diamond earrings.
"Yeah, any minute now."
45 minutes later…
"WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY?!" Alice grunted loudly in anger.
"They said they would be here like a half an hour ago. What's taking them so long?" Rose questioned as she took a seat in the kitchen.
"I called each of them at least twice already and no one answered their phone. I'm worried; what if something happened to them?" I chewed on my finger nails in anxiety.
"Try reaching them again." Rose insisted.
"Ok, but I can't make certain that they'll pick up." I pulled out my phone right when the door was opening.
"Hello there, ladies." Edward walked in, with Emmett and Jasper following behind him.
"Oh, very pretty ladies." Emmett smiled widely.
"What happened? You've got us waiting here going crazy. You didn't answer your phones, or call. You know you should have called us-"
"Very angry, pretty ladies." Jasper joked.
"I'm being serious here!" I yelled at them.
"Okay, sorry mom!" Emmett answered back sarcastically
"Something came up at last minute, Bella." Jasper shrugged.
"Something like what?"
"Ask Edward, it's his entire fault." Emmett pointed his thumb over at Edward who was plopped down on the couch, relaxing as if nothing wrong happened. I slowly walked over to his side and stood there glancing down at him.
"Edward." I spoke softly.
"Wow, Bella you look very beautiful." His eyes widened as he inspected how I looked.
"Thank you. But it'll be all for nothing if we don't get out of here."
"I'm sorry, it's just, that annoying lady, ugh!" he sighed in anger.
"What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, really. We should leave now." He got up from the couch, straightened out his shirt and pants, and headed to the door.
"Let's go ladies!" Emmett called out to Rosalie, Alice, and even Jasper.
"Excuse me?" Jasper scoffed.
"Oh, what-ever; it would've taken longer to call all of your names!" Emmett rolled his eyes.
"Yay! Tonight's gonna be so fun!" Alice squealed at me and Rose.
-+-
We got into Emmett's car and rushed to the restaurant, just making it there before the clock struck 8:45.
"Emmett, hurry up. You're driving like a grandpa!" Alice whined.
"I'm doing 75 in a 50 zone. Cool your jets."
"Whatever, let's just hope we don't get stopped by a –"
Weee-oooo-Weeee-oooo! The piercing noise of a cop car siren rang through my ears as my stomach twisted violently in knots.
"Emmett, pull over!" Edward told him.
"I can run him out, I just-"
"EMMETT!" the other five passengers yelled out.
"Okay, okay! Gosh!" Emmett slowed the car down and pulled it over to the side of the road."
"Oh my god!" Alice began panicking. "We're gonna get booked and jailed!"
"Alice!" I scolded her.
"Just stay clam, act normal." Jasper commanded. The cop got out of the cruiser and stalked over to our car, tapping on the glass.
Emmett rolled down the window, "Good evening officer."
"Do you know why I pulled you over, son?" The cop asked sternly.
"Uhh-"
"This is a 50mph zone and you were way past sixty. Care to explain."
"Well, you see sir…uh…my friend Isabella, became suddenly ill. We think its food poisoning," The officer took a glance over towards the back seat and Alice nudged my side, ordering me to act sick.
"Ohhhhh, I'm gonna die. I can see the light. Someone help meeeeee!" I moaned in fake pain.
"Stay out of the light, Bella! Whatever you do, don't go in!"
"Err…" the officer grunted in confusion.
"You see, I told her shellfish would do her wrong. Well, I was just rushing to get to the hospital before anything could get worse." Emmett lied straight to the officer's face.
"I'll let you off with a warning. But this vehicle is over the passenger limit and I don't want to stop this car again for speeding." He said.
"Yes sir, will not happen again. I promise." Emmett assured.
"Alright, get this young woman to the nearest medical center." And with that, the police officer allowed us to be on our way. About a few minutes away from the area, we let out a sigh of relief.
"Food poisoning?! I'm going to kill you Emmett!" I shouted.
"Well, it worked. Now let's get to the restaurant, we're wasting time."
"Yeah, we're to busy get pulled over by the law enforcement!" Rosalie said sarcastically.
Twenty minutes later, we arrived at Chez Pierre, a very formal and expensive French restaurant. We got out the car and entered the eatery. The maître d' greeted us kindly in a lovely French accent.
"Yes, reservation for six, under Cullen." Edward. The man checked up and down in the book, but shook his head.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing here under Cullen." He said.
"There must be some mistake. I called at around ten in the morning today." Edward stated.
"Let me check vonce more." He suggested in his accent. He searched thru the listings of names, but said that there was nothing for us.
"Are there any free tables?" Edward asked.
"No, vee are full." He snorted.
"Well, I think my friend Mr. Washington might help you rearrange something for us." Emmett pulled out a dollar bill and waved it in front of the man's face, bribing him.
"I can't accept that. For all I know, you may need that for you're order at Mickey D's."
"Hey, you listen here, Frenchie…!"
"Leave the premises now, before I call security on vu all." He ordered us away.
"Fine, we'll go."
"Merci beaucoup."
"Merci my ass." Emmett muttered under his breathe. We followed each other back outside and piled back into Emmett's car.
"What now?" Alice pouted. "Our birthdays are jank!
"Hey now ladies, we still have the night club." Emmett said.
"Alright, let's do it to it!" Alice shouted.
"We're gonna have a blast, I promise you."
-+-
"Have you my good friend Mr. Washington?" Emmett pulled out the same crinkled dollar from back at the restaurant.
"How about no." The bouncer argued back.
"Hey, he's got a twin." He insisted.
"Man, get the hell outta my face!" The man who had total control over the red velvet ropes yelled at Emmett. They were about the same size and had about the same body form, but the bouncer was bald, had piercings, and his arms were covered in tats. He was allowing us no entry into Club Mo Jo. We waited for about a half an hour on the long line outside. I checked the time on my cell which read 10:15 p.m.
"Wears Vinnie? He would us in." Emmett said.
"In the hospital with a concussion, wanna join him?!" The big meat head answered back with a threat.
"Fine be that way!" Little Alice stood up to the bouncer. "I hope your life is a long, lonely, suckish one!" She poked his hard chest with her skinny index finger. He let out a loud grunt, like a bull ready to charge. "Heh, well have a nice night!" She backed away and ran beside me.
"Let's just get out of here guys." Edward stepped out of the line and motioned for us to leave. As I was getting out the line, the bouncer grabbed my arms and pulled me back.
"You're a very fine babe. You can go ahead in." he jerked his head towards he entrance.
"What about my friends?" I asked.
"No way."
"Then no thank you." I tugged my arm away from his grip, but it was tightly secure and I couldn't get free. "Let go of me!" I yelled at him.
"Get your hands off of her!" Edward stepped up and pushed him back.
"Get outta here." he pushed Edward back, making Edward shove back. The club bouncer then punched him hard and fast in the face, making him fall back into Jasper.
"Edward!" I gasped at the scene happening in front of me.
"Oh hell no!" Emmett stalked up towards the man his size and threw a quick uppercut to his jaw, catching him off guard. "Mess with someone your own size, bastard."
"Emmett, stop it!"
"Let's go before they call the cops!" Rose shrieked as she grabbed me and Emmett and pulled us away. We ran all the way to the car, with Emmett and Jasper holding Edward up by his arms. We got back in the car and raced home, making sure no one followed us, and that we wouldn't get stopped by the police.
"Let's just get back to the dorms. My birthday doesn't matter at all anymore!" I cried as I held onto Edward's hand.
