BPOV: A Very Busy Day
I tried sleeping but it didn't work. I was up most of the night, just staring at the walls of my bedroom. It was hard to be away from Edward so much, but he needed his space and I some how needed mine to. Around 6 am I got up and showered and changed. When I was done I had breakfast, trying to waste time before I called Alice and asked how Edward was. I finally broke my hold to call after I washed my dishes. Alice picked up right away.
"Bella! How are you feeling?" She asked me a little to excited, I mean it was only 7:30 in the morning.
"Good. How is he?" She sighed and I heard a door close.
"He didn't sleep all night, I know because I heard him get up about 10 times every hour. But whatever..." I heard an engine starting in the background. NO!
"Alice you are not coming over here!" She laughed.
"Yes, I am. All be there in 5 minutes. Don't have a stroke." And she hung up on me. She was right it only took 5 minutes for her to make it. No doubt speeding, in her little yellow Porshe. Crazy pixie. She didn't even knock. Which reminds me to move the spare key from in the mailbox. I was sitting at the table when she came bounding in.
"Alice." She smiled and sat down.
"Was any one else up at the house?" She shook her head. Shocker.
"Well I was going down to La Push for the day." Her face looked shocked and then turned curious.
"Why are you going there?" She asked more curious now.
"I'm going to visit Jacob Black, you remember him don't you?" She nodded. Alice had met Jacob a couple of times. But she didn't really care for him, mostly because she told me that he was really over protective about me. Also, that he was madly in love with me. Ha. Ya right.
"Can I come?" She asked, which surprised me.
"You...Alice Cullen...wants to come with me to see Jacob Black. You hate him." She stuck her tongue out at me and I laughed.
"Ya, it's really boring at the house for a couple of days anyway." I raised an eyebrow at her. Alice never had boring days.
"Why are the next couple of days going to be boring?" I asked her. She shrugged.
"Rose and Emmett are going to some car show. They are leaving in an hour. I already said my goodbyes, and Jasper is working on school project that he's suppose to do during the summer. He figures that if Rose and Emmett aren't here he can get it done, and not worry about it for the rest of the summer. I didn't argue because that means more time with me." She smiled at me.
"How many days are Rose and Emmett gone?" I wanted to know because when they came back I would most definitely have to talk to Edward, Alice would force me.
"Just for the weekend. Until Sunday since there leaving tonight. Which by the way is a Thursday." She said seriously and I laughed. Does she think that I've lost my mind. Because she better reevaluate what she's saying.
"Alice I know it's Thursday. I didn't crawl under a rock. I'm just taking a break so Edward can relax...and realize that he is totally barbaric." The last part slipped out and Alice chuckled.
"Theirs the Bella I know. Okay. Let's go...see Jacob." She cringed as she said his name. I laughed once more. But I followed her out and sat in the passenger seat of her car as she got in and pulled out of my drive way.
"I don't see why you don't like him. He's nice." I told her and she rolled her eyes as she stepped on the gas a little harder. Making me hold onto my seat, she giggled. Giggled! At my life, hanging by a thread because of her crazy driving.
"He is not nice. He is a JERK! I can't believe you don't see it. There is just something with the way he looks at you. It creeps me the hell out. The first time you introduced us I thought he was going to jump me because I got to close to you. Weirdo." Whenever Alice said she didn't like someone she always told us if we didn't like us, that we would pay for it. I always listened just not with Jacob. He seemed so different that's why I like him. I must have been in a haze because when I looked up Alice was pulling into the drive way of Jacob and Billy Black's little white house in La Push.
Alice pulled behind an old rabbit car. She looked disgusted and came running over to me. Probably didn't want Jacob to touch me. To late. Jacob came running out of the house all smiles. When he saw me his smile got even wider, and he came up to me and pulled me into a big bear huge. Just like Emmett's. Jacob was super tall. Don't get me worng he was hot. But Edward was just something more to me and I didn't care for any one but him.
"Hey Jake." I said as he put me down and smiled to Alice. Who cringed and gave a small wave at him.
"Hey Bells. It's been to long. Come in." We followed him into his house and into his living room which had a two small couches. Alice never left my side so she sat with me and I swear that I saw Jake's eyes fill with hurt. He sat down on the opposite couch and smiled. I couldn't help it I smiled back.
"So what's new with you." He smiled at me. I instantly smiled back without thinking about it.
"Nothing really. I'm home for summer break, and I thought I would come down and say hi. Since I haven't seen you in a while. So...what about you? You still working on cars." He smirked.
"Ya. I'm gonna open my own garage. It's my passion." I laughed and he joined me. Alice just sat there, staring between him and I. We talked for about an hour. I felt as if I could stay there all day and talk to him, but I noticed that Alice had barely said anything or done anything. We said are goodbyes. Alice waved and practically ran for the car. I stayed and gave Jacob a huge and he kissed my cheek. Okay, that's my cue to leave. After an awkward moment, I said goobye once more and went to the car. Alice was had smug smile on her face and I slapped her on the arm. As soon as we pulled out of the drive way, Alice burst out laughing. I couldn't help it anymore I started to also.
"Okay I'll give you this one. He was a little, clingy. I can't believe I never noticed it before." Alice nodded.
"It was probably because you never thought about Edward as your only love. Now it's like no one appeals to you. You notice what everyone does to you because you feel as if your someone else's." I stared at her with my mouth wide open, mostly in shock. She said everything I was thinking and...doing.
"Your good." I said, without thinking. I tried to cover my mouth as fast as I could but she already heard.
"Why thank you, Bella." Great now she has an even bigger smug smile on her face.
"So what are we doing, it's almost 10 am." She was about to say something as we were pulling back up to Charlie's house. But we both saw something that shocked us even more, making us sit in total silence as Alice turned the car off. Oh great. I thought just as the Volvo's driver side door opened up. Edward stepped out looking like a Greek god, as always. He wasn't smiling but he was looking right at me. His eyes full of love and...hope.
"Alice why don't you go home. I'll call you later." She nodded as I opened the door stepping out.
"Good luck, love you see ya later." I smiled back at her but my smile vanished when I close the door and turned to the man who stole my heart.
EPOV
I had everything planned. Everything perfect for Bella. I wanted her to forgive me for being so stupid and rash. I got to Charlie's after begging Alice to tell me where she was. But there was no answer. So I waited, I went back in the car and waited for my angel. Not long after I listened to a couple of songs on the radio, I saw Alice's Yellow Porshe pull up the drive way and my nerves shot through the roof. What if Bella didn't like what I had planned. What if she hated it. Does she hate me. A lot of things ran through my head as I got out. I watched her get out, she was smiling at Alice and then when she turned to me it faded.
"Hello." She said as she came up to me. Still no smile.
"Hi. I'm sorry. I know you probably won't accept it. But let me show you how much I love you and how much you mean to me." She thought it over and nodded her head slowly, my smile got wider and she smirked.
"I haven't forgave you yet. Just let me go change." She told me, but I shook my head. Making her frown. Instead I lead her to the passenger side of my car.
"No need to change. You look fine. More like beautiful." She blushed and looked away as she put on her seat belt and I closed the door.
"So are you going to tell me where were going. Since I don't need to change, out of my jeans and shirt." I turned the car on and started driving to our destination. She always hated surprises, making a big deal out of people doing anything for her. She truly was amazing.
"Nope. It's a surprise and yes, I know how much you hate surprises. Deal with it." I turned and smiled at her, but what I didn't expect was that she would be smiling back. She must have realized what she was doing because she turned fast to look out the window. She stayed like that until she saw where we where going, her face went from shock to happy when I pulled into the paint ball arena.
"So you ready to shoot me." She laughed and I got out to open her door before she could. She thanked me when I opened her door and lead her into the huge warehouse that housed this madness. We got suited up, more things for Bella just in case. I was thankful that I rented out the place for the day. Bella rolled her eyes when I told her, after she asked why it wasn't crowded. After the guy gave Bella her paint ball gun she disappeared. Only looking back at me to wink. I waited as patiently as I could, when it was my turn to get my paint ball gun I started to chase after her. I couldn't find her though.
I looked everywhere I thought. Until, I felt that I got hit on my back a couple of times. I turned quickly to see Bella not to far away, still shooting at me. She saw my face and tried to hold back giggles. But it was to late she was already giggling and trying to run at the same time. I shot her a couple of times but suddenly stopped when she vanished and was gone. At first I paniced but then I knew she was getting ready for another attack. I lunged behind a pillar and looked around to find her.
Sure enough I caught her trying to hide in a circular tube. But she didn't make it through all the way before I shot her in the butt. I was laughing so hard I didn't notice she left the spot that I had just shot at. I was about to turn around and look for her again but before I did I got shot in the head and it made me jump. Bella was laughing so hard she was clutching her sides. Once again we would hide on each other and then get caught and shot at. After a good half an hour. I was sore and tired, I knew Bella had to have been too. We handed back out gear and gun. Bella was covered in paint but not as much as me. What could I say she got a lucky shot...okay she got about 20 lucky shots. We got in the car and I was ready for part 2 of our date. Hoping that she wouldn't fall asleep.
"Where not going home?" She asked, looking at her surroundings from the car.
"I still have one more place on our date." She shook her head and my heart began to drop. She doesn't want to go. She hates it. I hate thinking to myself like I'm a crazy person.
"It's not a date, it's a peace offering. So I can forgive you and you don't have to feel like such an ass any more." I shrugged and she laughed. I drove up to my house. She laughed even harder. I raised an eyebrow at her, wondering what she was laughing at so hard about.
"What?" I asked her as I made my way up the stairs first holding the door open for her to go in.
"I already met your family, Edward." I rolled my eyes at her and shut the door. Sometimes she thought about the weirdest things.
"Ha. Ha. Your a comedian, Bella. Follow me, please." I walked to the front room, and went in first wanting to see Bella's face. She came through and smiled. She looked like she was almost in tears, but she held them back and looked up at me.
"It's beautiful Edward." The room was decorated with rose petals everywhere. All on the piano, and the floor. Candles were lit, it was perfect. Just like her.
"Your more beautiful." She blushed and I grabbed her hand gently bringing her over to the piano bench. We sat together our bodies close. I played a couple of songs, but finished with Bella's lullaby that I made for her. When I was done I turned to her and saw her crying. I put a hand on her cheek.
"Don't cry, love." I told her.
"it's perfect Edward, I love it. but you do know that your stupid for over reacting. I love you. I want to be with you. I can't live without you. So your just going to have to not freak out and at least come into the coffee shop next time." I kissed her softly on the lips.
"There's going to be a next time?" I asked her trying to hold back my laugh. She playfully slapped my thigh, and began to kiss me back.
"Never do it again. Oh and you better have cleaned my room you big jerk." She laughed and I rolled my eyes. She was to much...but enough for me to love every once of her.
