Ch 37 Joe?
Bella's POV
I got ready for school and walked to Edward's Volvo. We agreed I wouldn't use my Ferrari to school, considering someone might steal it.
"Morning," I said cheerfully. He turned, giving me his crooked smile.
"Good morning Bella."
When we arrived to school, I saw Joe—a friend I made—standing by the school. Joe was pretty cute. Light brown hair, with light hazel eyes. His face was boyish in a way but cute. He waved at me when he saw me, and wanted me to walk towards him.
I said goodbye to everyone, telling them I'd see them at lunch. "What's up Joe?"
"Hey Bella," He greeted with a smile. "Nothing much, just wanted to talk to you and ask you something."
"Go ahead."
"Well, Bell, see I like you a lot and I wanted to know if you would consider being my girlfriend." My mouth formed a small 'O' when I heard this. I didn't know he liked me. I mean, sure he's cute—not as cute as Edward—but still. Should I do it?
"Sure Joe," I answered with a fake smile. Something deep down, told me this relationship wouldn't be good for me, but I pushed that feeling aside and just went with what I had now.
He beamed and hugged me, giving me a kiss on the cheek. I blushed slightly, but it wasn't the same as when Edward kissed my cheek. Arg! Why do I keep thinking of Edward in a way that's not brotherly? What's wrong with me?
When it was time for Spanish, I saw Alice literally bouncing up and down in her seat. Stupid see it all happy pixie. "Bella, tell me everything!"
"About what?" I asked innocently. Her eyes narrowed and she glared at me.
"Don't play around with me Isabella," Oh here we go with the full names. "You know what I'm talking about, you and Joe."
"Ohh, yeah he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yeah." I said like if it was nothing.
"Aww, Bella" She gushed. "How cute, but why aren't you happy and bragging about it? I mean any other girl would be like 'I got a boyfriend' especially with a really cute one like yours."
I just shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know."
"Ooo invite him to sit with us at lunch." She said, clapping her hands.
I chocked on nothing. "Are you crazy?!" I whisper yelled. "Emmett, Jasper, and especially Edward would kill him, or just sent him death glares."
"Don't worry Bells."
"ookkayy??"
I walked with Alice to lunch, just chit chatting, until I saw Joe, waiting by the lunch doors for me. "I'll…let you guys talk." She said giggling.
"Hey," I said a little awkwardly.
"Hey Bella,"
"So, my family wants you to sit with us today, you want to?" I asked. He nodded and grabbed my hand.
"Sure, why not." I led him to our table, where everyone was laughing and talking, but when they heard me approaching, they looked up; stopping what they were doing.
"Hi, guys, um I'd like to introduce Joe my…my…" For some reason the word boyfriend, didn't seem right talking about him.
"Boyfriend," he finished with a smile. My mom looked up at me for confirmation, Emmett raised an eyebrow, Alice was jumping, Jasper cracked his knuckles, and Edward looked murderous.
"Boyfriend, huh?" Emmett asked looking him up and down.
"Yes Em." I said rolling my eyes. "Ohh how rude of me. Joe these are my sisters Rosalie and Alice and my brothers, Emmett, Jasper and Edward." He smiled at each of them and nodded his head in acknowledgement.
"Um, Emmett—" Joe started but was cut off.
"Mr. Emmett." I slapped my forehead and shook my head.
"Mr. Emmett, Mr. Jasper, and Mr. Edward," my mom cleared her throat as if asking for acknowledgement. "Oh and Ms. Hale, I ask for permission to take Bella out tonight." I stared at him in shock.
"What?" The boys chocked out.
"May I take Bella, out on a date tonight?"
"Sure." Alice chimed in.
"Alice!" The boys hissed.
"Oh shush up boys, leave Bella alone."
"Ok, whatever, just be over at 7 pm at our house for inspection. See you." Jasper said. Joe nodded and left my side.
"Guys!" I hissed.
"What, I didn't say no, I just said he had to come to our house. You think Carlisle would let you go without knowing him?" Jasper raised an eyebrow.
"Ugh, whatever."
When we got home, Alice grabbed my hand and pulled me upstairs. "Here." She tossed me a little white knitted dress with black leggings, black boots, and a black waist belt. She gave me a light silver eye shadow, mascara, and lip gloss. She straightened my hair and pulled my bangs back, giving me the supermodel "poof"
"Done!" She squealed. I looked in the mirror and gasped looking at the new me.
"Alice you're amazing!" I squealed, she laughed.
"I know. Now come on!"
When I got downstairs, Edward eyed me, and I blushed. Suddenly the door bell rang.
"I'll get it." Emmett said. "Why hello Joe," he pulled him inside, and patted his back lightly. "How wonderful for you to join us."
"I said I would come." Jasper walked by him next.
"And how right you are," Oh God, kill me now! "Now I would like you to meet, our father, Dr. Carlisle." Joe looked up at Carlisle.
"Nice to meet you sir." Carlisle nodded.
"Hello, I see you are going to be taking my daughter out tonight." Joe nodded and grabbed my hand. "Well, let me establish a few rules. No kissing, no late night movies, no unnecessary gestures, which include touching." My father eyed our hands. I quickly let go of his and blushed. "Bring her back by 9:30. I'll leave the rest to you boys." He said patting Jasper, Emmett's and Edward's shoulders.
"Go ahead Bella, wait in the car." Joe said, I looked up at him and nodded.
Edward's POV
Oh this is going to be good.
"Come and sit, Joe," I said as sweetly as I could muster at the moment. He sat down in one of the couches. Jasper, Emmett and I all wondered how to start.
"Dude, let's eat him!" Of course that had to be the one and only Emmett!
"I don't trust him Edward, why don't we go spy on them?" Jasper suggested. My head snapped up at him.
"What a brilliant idea!" I whispered too low for Joe's human ears to hear.
"Ooo, what? What? What happened Eddie, I wanna know! Ooo tell me!" Emmett whined.
"Shut up." I turned back to Joe. "So let us get the point across,"
"No touching." Jasper warned.
"No kissing." Emmett said.
"No unnecessary comments." I warned. "Control your hormones."
At the same time, we all said, "And most importantly, break Bella's heart, we break you." I gave him a little glare for extra effect and he looked scared crapless.
"Oh shitt bro, you see his face? You…haha…see…haha…it?" I swear Emmett's a doofus.
"Okay, you may leave now." I said. He nodded, running out the house. I looked back at my brothers, smiling evilly.
"Guys, why are you smiling like that? It's kinda creepy and scary." Emmett said, backing away.
"Emmett, do you approve of our little Bella having a boyfriend and going out on a date?" Jasper asked with a raised eyebrow.
Emmett became serious. "No, any boy—including you Eddie—is going to get the speech and our glares." I internally groaned at facing my brothers' glares and speeches.
"Well, Em we've got a plan, just go get ready. Put something black, that will keep you hidden in the dark," Jasper said. He nodded and ran upstairs. When he came down, it took all my strength not to die laughing.
Emmett was wearing a tight black SPY suit, with a beanie hat and gloves. He looked like he came out of a bad James Bond movie.
"Emmett, what the hell are you wearing?" I asked placing my hand over my mouth and coughing to cover up for laughing.
"I'm going incognito," he whispered tip toeing out the house. Me and Jasper looked at each other, before busting out laughing.
"Duh duh, duh duh, duh duh duh duh duh, duhhhhh duh duh da da…" Emmett was singing the stupid pink panther song over and over, while we were hiding in the back of the movie theaters.
This Joe had apparently taken Bella to the movie theaters to see the movie, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Jasper kept laughing through the whole movie. He thought it was hilarious that they had white eyes, fangs, and burned in the sunlight.
"Aw, look at poor Sonja, her father was so mean. How could he kill his daughter like that?" I heard Bella murmur.
"…Oh God," I heard Jasper say after he caught his breath, from laughing so much. "Are they serious, burn in the sun, vampires falling in love with werewolves? Are they nuts? None of this would happen!"
"Jazz, shush." I said. When I turned around I saw Joe doing the stupidest move ever. He was "yawning" and putting his arm around Bella. I smacked Jasper, Jasper smacked Emmett and we all glared.
"Go get him Emmett," I whispered. He saluted me and ran off. Next thing we saw was a blur of black run past the screen; suddenly Joe's popcorn and soda was thrown on Bella.
She yelled at the coldness.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry Bella." He apologized. She just shook her head with a small smile.
"It's ok Joe, but I think it's time you take me home." She said. Emmett came back to us with a congratulatory smile.
"How'd I do?" He asked.
"Perfect," we said.
"Now we should get home." I said. They nodded and we sped home.
Bella's POV
When we walked to the parking lot, I caught a glimpse of a silver car, speeding at a speed no human would dare. Oh no they didn't.
"Joe, please take me home." I asked once again while grinding my teeth. Joe probably thought I was mad at him, because fear over took his face.
"I'm so sorry Bella," he apologized for the hundredth time, which is sorta getting me annoyed.
"Joe, its ok, just please take me home." He nodded and drove off. The whole ride was pretty silent, so when I got home I opened the door, but he stopped me. When I looked back I saw his small smile.
"Sorry Bella again, I'll call you later okay?" I nodded, and he leaned in and kissed my cheek. "'Night"
"Night" I said as I walked out the car and into the house. I threw my keys on the table and yelled. "Ah!"
Alice, Rose, Esme, and Carlisle came out. "Are you ok, dear?" Esme asked.
"No mom I'm not." I said.
"What's wrong?"
"Where are Jasper, Emmett and Edward?" I spat. They all shared a look.
"Um, I'm not sure honey, why—" Just when Carlisle was going to finished they walked in.
"Oh my God Emmett, if you were human, you would have won yourself an ice cream for what you did." Edward bragged, and I raised an eyebrow. Emmett saw me; his smile faded.
"Uh guys…" He tried to warn.
"Seriously dude, you did something right for once." Jasper said.
"Uh guys…"
"I know what you mean—"
"GUYS!!!" He yelled.
"What?" They asked, before they froze. "Bella's right behind us isn't she?" Emmett nodded.
I clapped my hands, as they slowly turned around. "Bravo, bravo, guys. Thanks for ruining my date, love you guys too." I said sarcastically.
"Bell—"
"What did you guys do!!?" Rose yelled.
"Stupid morons, why did you do that?" Alice mumbled.
"Um, we feel a little left out, can someone tell us what happened?" Carlisle asked.
"Yeah, boys why don't you tell him all that happened." I yelled as I stomped up to my room.
Edward's POV
"We're waiting?" They urged.
I shifted uncomfortably. "Um, well you see…Jasper why don't you tell them?" I suggested.
"Uh, Emmett tells stories best." He urged.
"Hey!" Emmett complained. "Well what happened was we followed Bella on her date, and when Joe used the old yawn put arm over shoulder move I kind of made him throw the popcorn and soda all over Bella."
"YOU RUINED HER OUTFIT!" Alice yelled slapping Emmett.
"Boys, how could you?" Esme asked, shaking her head disappointingly.
"Esme, they didn't do anything, they protected their sister from an unnecessary gesture." Carlisle argued.
"Carlisle, they did wrong." Esme said sternly. "They had no right to disturb her."
We knew Carlisle wouldn't fight against Esme, so we lost.
"Alice, come with me to talk to Bella?" Rose asked. Alice nodded and they flew upstairs.
Bella's POV
I finished taking a shower; washing my hair. When I walked out I put my Victoria's secret, silky red dress with matching robe. I grabbed a comb and started combing through my hair while muttering under my breath.
"…Stupid brothers…how could they...embarrassment." I sat down on the low chair and started to think of tonight. I was mad at Jasper and Emmett, but for some reason I wasn't that mad at Edward. In fact, I liked that he spied on me and had the reaction he had. What's wrong with me? Why do I feel differently towards Edward now? I mean he's gorgeous, but he's my brother. He is a perfect gentleman; kind, polite, always worries about me…Oh my God, I'm day dreaming about him! Could it be that I liked Edward…?
I looked up at my reflection in the mirror. I liked Edward. I had a crush on my brother! A light knock make me jump. "Come in." I croaked.
"Baby, are you ok?" Rose asked. I nodded and she walked in, followed by Alice. "I know you're mad, but forgive the boys, you know how they get." I just giggled.
"Mommy, Alice, I have never hidden a secret from you and I don't want to start now. I have to tell you something."
"What up Tink?" Alice asked from somewhere in my closet, probably looking for things for me to wear on Monday.
"I-I think I have a crush on Edward." I admitted so low only they would hear. It all went silent and it was quite uncomfortable.
"Are you sure Bella?" Rose asked touching my face.
"Yeah, I mean watch, I'm always day dreaming about him, I think he's amazingly handsome, kind, polite…"I trailed off.
"Oh my God!" Alice squealed jumping on me. Someone was happy.
"Ow, Allie," I whined rubbing my shoulder.
"Sorry, Bella, that's so cute."
"Alice, mom, you can't say anything! Promise me that." I said.
"But Bella—" Alice whined.
"Promise me." I insisted.
"Fine," Alice huffed, "I promise." Rose smiled.
"I promise too. But what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to stay mad at them for a while, act like nothing, and I'm going to stay with Joe. Maybe I can learn to like him."
Alice brushed my hair. "Maybe, now go to bed Tink."
"Ok, goodnight."
"Night."
Edward's POV
I sneaked into Bella's room to find her covers down halfway down her body, showing her red silk pajama. Her hair was sprayed out on top of the pillow and her breathing was calm.
I walked lightly over to her and sat down in the corner. I knew Bella was mad at me and I don't know if I'll be willing to take it. I love her so much, and her ignorance is like the worst punishment for me.
"Edward," she breathed with a small smile. I smiled into the darkness. At least she's thinking of me.
"Please don't go Edward…" She moaned in a desperate way. "No, stop, please don't go…" I got up and walked over to her.
"I'm not going anywhere Bella, don't worry. I love you." I leaned down and kissed her forehead. When I straightened up I saw a smile form her lips. I couldn't think of any other happy moment, until Bella came into our lives.
I sat back down in the corner and watched her sleep, until the sun came back up.
I snuck out of her room at dawn and went to the living room to watch some TV.
It was around nine in the morning when Bella, walked down stairs in her pajamas. Esme appeared by the stairs and greeted her.
"Morning, dear," She said with a warm smile.
"Morning mom," she answered back with a smile and hug.
Emmett got off his wii and went to go say hi.
"Hey Belly," he said with arms extended. She looked at him and turned away with a girly "hm". He looked at me with a pout.
"Eddie, we got her mad. She's mad at us." I nodded, when I saw her not even look at Jasper.
"Dude, how did a perfect plan go wrong?"
"Morning Bella," I tried greeting. She looked at me, pouted and stomped her way into the kitchen.
"Morning, honey," Carlisle greeted. Bella looked up and gave him a hug.
"Morning daddy." Just then Alice and Rose walked in from the mall.
"Tink!"
"Alice! Mom!" She yelled, running towards them.
I instantly felt jealous of them, because Bella's running to them, like she used to do to me and is ignoring me now.
I shared a look with Jasper.
"Something's not right with her feelings…Hmm…" He lost his train of thought, and I hung my head.
It's been seven hours since Bella's even looked at us. Emmett's getting really depressed and Jasper is about to have an anxiety attack with his emotions and everyone else's.
"Alice," I called from the couch. She turned to me and skipped my way.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Alice, tell me what to do to make Bella forgive me." I pleaded.
"What you guys did was wrong." She said sternly with a little glare.
"I know, I know, but you know why I did it."
Her eyes softened and she nodded. "Ok, why don't we do a scary movie weekend?" She suggested.
I nodded. "Okay, but how will that help?"
"Well, we'll pick a mild scary movie tonight, let her warm up to you a bit, for protection. Then tomorrow apologize to her and we'll give her a full blown scary movie." My mouth must've been on the floor because she burst out laughing.
"Edward, pick your jaw off the floor!" She laughed again. "Here, I got the movies."
I grabbed them out of her hands taking a look at them. Huh, Child's Play and Paranormal Activity. "Believe me; I've heard they're good." She defended.
"Ok, get her to come down though," I said. She nodded.
"No problem."
"Guys, looks like we're watching scary movies this weekend." I said. Emmett stood up and banged his control on the floor full force, shattering it into a million pieces.
"YESS!!!" When he looked down at the mess, he looked like a kid who has been told Santa isn't real. "No! My remote, it died so young!" I just rolled my eyes and set up the DVD.
Bella's POV
"Come on Bella!" Alice whined. I let out a gust of air in frustration. Little pixie is really annoying.
"Alice, I'm not in the mood for it." I argued. She wanted me to watch scary movies with the family, but I just wasn't in the mood. I mean, being mad at my brothers, knowing I have a huge crush on Edward is a lot and I'm not in the mood for anything.
Alice pouted and stomped her foot. Hey, stomping the foot was my way of getting everything. "Fine, if you won't come, then I guess I'll tell Edward that you like him." I froze. "Or maybe, I can call Tanya to keep him company."
I jumped of the bed. "Let's go." I said with gritted teeth. She giggled.
"Ok, but maybe you should change." She said eyeing my silky pajama. I nodded and pulled on a pair of cotton black shorts and white tank top. "Better. Now let's go." She grabbed my hand and pulled me downstairs
