Previously:I knew it was unnecessary to respond but I didn't care.
To: Edward
Goodnight.
Bella
And with that, I was sleeping, dreaming my sweet dream of the forest.
I woke up slowly, feeling the sore spots along my legs. It wasn't anything new and barely hurt, but still I knew they were there. I was still lying on my bed, eyes closed, and barely moving. I took a second for my ears to register the noise centimeters from my face and when I opened my eyes I was looking into bright blue eyes.
I jumped and Alice moved back. "Wow. So you're not a morning person. Got it." She made a clicking noise with her tongue. I was still trying to steady my breathing.
When I could breath evenly I turned to her and glared, "Is there something I can do for you, Alice?"
Alice grinned at my dark mood. It wasn't the kind of grin that made me think something I said was funny. No, it was an evil glare. Alice's evil glare. Oh, no.
"No way! Alice, no." I was shaking my head before she got a word out and I kept my eyes closed so I couldn't see the little demonic pixie. "Whatever you have planned, no. There's no way. Nope. Notta-"
She cut off my ranting, "Edward will be there."
She knew what what shut me up. I sat up and she sat back. As I mentally calculated the odds of getting out of whatever this was, Edward's godlike face popped before my eyes. Even my pathetic mental picture of him in the back of my brain turned me to mush. I was putty in his hands and he wasn't even around me.
I sighed, defeated. Alice squealed and jumped from the bed, rushing to the closet.
"Can't I pick out my own clothes, Alice?" I whined as she began throwing my clothes around the dorm.
"Nope." She popped her "p".
I rolled my eyes and got out of bed when I heard my cellphone beep. I picked it up and it read
One New Text Message.
It was from Edward.
From: Edward
Hello, beautiful. Sorry if my
little sister is torturing you.
I had her do me a favor since
I have something planned.
I hope you like it. I'll see you
soon.
Edward.
I smiled because even though I knew what was in store for me with Alice, it would be worth it to be with Edward. I walked over to my computer, clutching my phone because even though I knew Edward probably wasn't going to call or text again, well, a girl can dream, right?
I got on the internet and began watching random music videos on you tube. Mostly One Republic or Daughtry. Sometimes I even watched the Jonas Brothers, my guilty pleasure. Alice wasn't paying any attention to me as she was still throwing clothes around. She was tossing them around for about ten minutes before she finally settled on one and then called me over.
"Perfect," She paused and stepped back, checking the outfit that she forced me into once over. What she picked out for me wasn't bad, at all, actually. I might have pick it out myself if I really cared. I was wearing nice sleek black pants that didn't flare out with round toe mini heels. For top wise, I had on a dark gray tee that had music notes on it and a black double breasted vest over it.
"Now as for the hair and make up..." She trailed off and I groaned. It was absolutely the worst part. Alice took me to the bathroom and sat me down, playing with strands of my hair. Eventually she settled on loose curls and a black headband with a buckle on the side. It didn't take long and before I knew it she was putting on a little bit of eyeliner, mascara, clear lip gloss, and I was done.
"Ta da!" She had me stand before the mirror. I looked over what she had done and found myself shocked. It took her only and hour and already I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Who was that? "So, do you like?"
I looked at myself for a few more seconds and then turned to Alice, enveloping her in a hug. "Amazing," I breathed. She laughed her bell laugh.
She pulled back and walked back into our dorm with myself following close behind.
"Where are we going?" I asked. She shook her head.
I began to gather my things, my back turned to her and the door. All my stuff was at my desk and it was difficult to walk in these heels. I turned around a little fast after getting everything and tripped over something. My soccer bag.
I braced myself for the impact pushing my arms out. I was ready to hit the floor and possibly break my arm when something, or someone catch. After I realized I wasn't going to fall I steadied myself before looking into the eyes of my savior.
When I did I thought I was going to faint.
Edward was there with myself in his arms. I stared into his sparkling green eyes and couldn't breath.
He chuckled, "You alright there?" I loved the sound of his laugh. Still unable to find my voice I nodded my head. He chuckled some more. "Then how about we get going?"
I nodded again and turned to look at Alice. I hadn't noticed until now, but she was still in her pajamas. "Why are you still in your pajamas? Aren't you coming, Alice?"
She shook her head, "Nope. Edward told me specifically that this was for you and him. I just had to have you ready by noon." She smiled and I laughed.
I looked back at Edward when I heard his magical voice, "Thanks, Alice." He sounded so sincere. "How about we get going, Bella?"
I nodded my head, because he, once again, took my breath away. I don't think I'd ever seen him in all black before, but him in a black dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and black slacks was amazing. He was beautiful. God-like. Breathless.
We walked through the door and I could feel the electricity coming from him where he keep his hand on the small of my back. Silently we walked through the corridors, out onto campus where a silver shiny Volvo. Like a gentleman, he opened my door for me before taking the drivers seat. When we were situated and out on the road I finally had my voice back and had to ask, "Where are we going?"
Edward had been so focused on the road before he turned his gaze on me and laughed. I tired my best to look innocent but I must have failed miserably because his only response was, "Wait and see."
Your eyes are holding up the sky
Your eyes make me weak, I don't know why
Your eyes make me scared to tell the truth
I thought my heart was bullet-proof
Now I'm dancing on the roof
And everybody knows I'm into you
Your Eyes, by Alexz Johnson/Jude Harrison
Again, so sorry for the wait. I know I promised sooner but I was so busy. I still have to read my book for school and I recently took up guitar so I've been practicing non-stop. If you're still out there reading please let me know by reviewing. The next chapter will be much longer but that's only if you're still there and want to read. So please! REVIEW!
