When we arrived back home, Emmett was waiting for us, on the sofa, as was Edward. This looked like an awkward scene when we both walked in the living room and both their heads snapped up at once and smiled the same, keen smile at me.
"Hi Bella." Emmett said, blushing a little.
Rosalie was sat on a chair next to a massive computer screen, clicking and typing away, totally absentmindedly.
Edward looked over at Emmett, who was intently staring at me..
"Hi Emmett, Edward, Rosalie." I wished I hadn't said that to her, because now she turned around at the sound of her name and gave me daggers, whilst logging off of the computer and joining Emmett on the couch. She lay across his legs, desperate to get his attention and get it away from me. Edward sniggered inwardly at Rosalie and turned around to smile at me. Emmett looked embarrassed, so he sat and cooed over Rosalie, pretending not to listen.
"Hi Bells. How are you today?" He asked, as if he hadn't even seen me today, which he had, and it was extremely awkward.
"Fine." I answered shortly. Edward looked at me as if butter wouldn't melt on my tongue.
"Ok." He stood up and came to my side. "Bella, to apologise about earlier today, was wondering if perhaps you'd like to go to see a film tonight at the cinema?" He asked nervously. How could I say no to that. Emmett looked like he was smiling slightly at my hesitation, but he still looked down at Rosalie, who was totally lounged across Emmett's lap.
"Um… who else is going?" I asked just as nervously.
"Well, I was thinking it could be just us." He scratched his neck anxiously. I could see that he really meant for this to be a date, but I wasn't ready yet. However, I was trying to get over Mike, so I decided to let him take me out.
"Well, I don't see why not." I told him. Edward smiled deeply to show his excitement, and I felt happy to see him like this. Although, I couldn't really be bothered going to the cinemas tonight.
Just then, Jasper walked into the room and he looked slightly anxious, until he laid his eyes upon Alice's petite frame, standing next to me.
"Alice." He breathed happily. I used to have that with Mike… NO Bella. Stop thinking about Mike all the time. He is history. He was sad enough to take away my life and stop my heart from beating.
Emmett looked destroyed that I was going out with Edward tonight. I felt really bad for him, but I couldn't invite him without Rosalie and then Alice would get very jealous.
"Guys, Jasper and I have some kind of… big news." She looked round smiling, catching everyone's attention. Jasper smiled and held her hand so dearly. I had to smile back, in a loving way. "Well, we have been a couple for a long time now, and so we have decided to get married!" She shrieked at the last word with excitement. I clapped instantly for her, and hugged her excitedly.
"Great. I'm happy for you Alice!" Edward expressed. At least he wasn't as sour faced as Rosalie was.
"Yeah, Alice. So, am I going to be your best woman?" She asked, with clear desire.
"Well, I was coming to that soon. As you all know, except for Bella, the addition to our family," She smiled at me and carried on, "This is a big tradition for vampires to have a best woman and a best man, and they have to dance together. Bella now knows this as I have spoken to her earlier about this. And, Bella and Edward are going to be the Best man and woman!" She pepped. Rosalie gave me the scariest look I have ever received by anybody. The phrase, 'if looks could kill', sprung to mind. I looked away, gulping my fear of her. I could tell the outcome of this news to her was not going to be very pretty… for me.
"Oh. And why is Bella getting this honour? She isn't even a Cullen Alice."
"Well, it was a nice idea to ask her, because maybe she will be. Maybe." She looked at me with hopeful eyes, and I looked back shocked at what she just said. "You see, Edward and Bella are going out on a date tonight!" She smiled and looked at me as if I was her daughter with her first crush.
"OK Alice. It's not a date, and I have no intention of becoming a Cullen yet." I stood my ground.
"Yet?" She raised her eyebrows and clapped. "She's planning on becoming a Cullen in the future!" And she stopped bouncing around instantly. The blank look on her face was scaring me, but everyone else seemed perfectly at ease. This must've been her having a vision. Mike always told me that she looked pretty intense when it came to that.
