So I really am sorry that I suck so bad at updating, but like I said, school comes first, and that includes midterms. Closely followed by spring break :)
I lay there for several minutes watching Edward sleep. He looked so exhausted, and I was afraid to wake him by getting up. But unfortunately, I still needed to get ready for my mysterious date with him that night. I pulled myself up slowly, trying not to wake him up, and walked into the living room with my hands over my eyes.
"Alice? Is it safe to open my eyes in here?" I teased.
"Oh, shut up Bella, you can open your eyes. Some of us can control ourselves you know." She said sarcastically, throwing a pillow at me.
I opened my eyes to see her sitting on Jasper's lap on the couch, watching TV. Surprise, surprise, they were watching 'What not to Wear'. Definitely Alice's choice, I thought. I was really afraid to start this stupid dress up extravaganza with Alice, but I knew it would make her happy, and hopefully I would come out of it looking at least decent. I sighed, and decided to just face it head on.
"We can start getting me ready for tonight now if you'd like."
"OOOOOOO yay!!!!!! I love dressing Bella up Jasper, its like getting Cinderella ready for the ball!" She squealed in excitement.
Jasper rolled his eyes and mouthed "I'm sorry". I giggled, and shrugged at him in acceptance. And then I marched off to my doom….
******************************************************************************************
It was pretty weird trying to pick out an outfit to impress my best friend, now boyfriend. I had never been all that concerned with dressing up for Edward before since we had been just friends. But Alice was basically a professional when it came to this sort of thing. She picked out a cute, flirty, light blue dress that fell around my knees. Normally, I would have whined and complained about wearing a dress, but I was so concerned with looking perfect that I let it slide, and just put it on. I stepped in front of my mirror, and turned all the way around, taking my outfit in. It actually looked pretty good on me, giving me more cleavage than I normally had.
"I hate to admit it Alice, but this actually looks great on me." I told her.
"I don't know why you continue doubt me." She scoffed.
I rolled my eyes, earning myself a punch in the arm. Thankfully, Alice is tiny and her punches are about as effective as Tinkerbelle's. She pushed me towards my chair so she could do my makeup. I sighed, preparing myself for my least favorite part of Alice's torture. She styled my hair into soft cascading curls and left it down. I had specifically asked for a soft, natural look that enhanced my looks instead of going crazy with makeup. Alice complied with my request, applying a sheer pink gloss, a light layer of mascara, and a peach blush that I insisted was pointless. After all, if there is anyone who doesn't need blush, it's me. When she was finished using me as her human Barbie doll, I stood up to see what I looked like. I examined my reflection in the mirror, and I smiled in happiness. She really was good at this- I looked beautiful.
"Thank you, Alice, really. I love it." I thanked her sincerely, giving her a hug.
"You're welcome, sweetie." She hugged me tight, and then pulled back to wake Edward up. I stopped her, insisting that I be the one to wake him up.
"What? Why do you need to wake him up??" she asked, completely confused. As soon as she said it, she realized what I meant, and her eyes widened. "OHHHH. Got it, ok I'm leaving." She hurried out after that, and shut the door behind her. I walked over to the bed and just watched him sleep for a minute. He looked so peaceful and handsome laying there. It seemed like such a shame to wake him, that I decided to make it up to him by waking him up in a way that he would appreciate. I slowly lay down next to him, and crawled on top of him. I placed light kisses across his jaw, and sucked gently on his ear. My hands roamed over his chest, dipping lower than I normally would. Edward shifted underneath me, slowly waking up. I kissed him, hard, and felt him respond , gradually. He moaned into my mouth, fully awake now. His arms went around, holding me closer, and our legs tangled together.
"Mmmm…hey." he opened his eyes, and smiled at me, kissing me lightly. "That's the best wake up call I've ever gotten." He said, laughing softly. "Usually I get a trumpet, or Johnson kicking my door in or something equally unpleasant."
"Ohhh ok, so I'm preferable to your door getting smashed in. that's quite the compliment Edward." I said, teasing him.
"Well I certainly wouldn't to this with Johnson." he whispered, kissing my neck. I shivered- everything he did just felt soooo good. "Or this." His hands moved up my stomach and lightly traced underneath my breast. "Or this…" his hands grabbed my ass, pulling me tight against him. I felt how hard he was and moaned loudly.
"Edward…we're going out tonight, remember?" I whispered in his ear, nibbling on it gently.
"I know, I know. Alright, just let me get dressed and then we'll go, ok?"
"Go where?" I asked hopefully.
"Bella, stop being so impatient, we'll be there soon." He poked my stomach gently. "Why do you want to know so badly anyway?" He said, poking me again, this time continuing to tickle me. I shrieked, trying to pull away- I was extremely ticklish.
"Edward! Don't tickle me, you know how ticklish I am!" I complained, running away from him. "I'll tell Alice you're ruining my hair…." I threatened. He raised his hands in defeat and backed away. I laughed, imagining Alice pummeling him with her tiny fists. I headed for the living room so he could change.
"Did I hear something about ruining your hair?" Alice demanded as soon as I shut the door.
I giggled. "I threatened to tell you that if he didn't stop tickling me. He seems to be a bit afraid of you, Alice."
She scoffed. " He should be! I worked hard on that hair, missy, don't you go messing it up. Not doing something silly like tickling anyway." She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively at me.
"Alice!" I threw a pillow at her, and she ducked. It hit Jasper square in the face, and he glared at me.
"Sorry, Jasper." I apologized, but I couldn't help laughing at the look on his face.
Edward came out of the bedroom, and walked over to me. "Ready to go?" He asked. I nodded, and he reached his hand out to take mine, and pulled me up from my chair. This was it…my first date with Edward. I could not possibly be more nervous for this night.
******************************************************************************************
Who's ready to kill me now? Still no date, I know. Next chapter. If I'm awake enough, I'll get it done tonight, honest. Which means that hopefully it'll be up tomorrow!!!
REVIEWS PRETTY PLEASE?! Hopefully with not too much hatred…
