Rose answered the door and looked stunning in a red strapless dress like mine except she was wearing some red stillettos. Her hair was pinned up neatly, she smiled at me as she invited me in. I looked around and about 20 or so men and women. I wasn't over or under dressed I noticed as I looked around. I followed Rose to the kitchen where she looked like she was aabou to cry.
"Bella I'm so sorry! I completely forgot you don't have a car! I'm so stupid I just left you there" she gushed " I'm such a terrible friend"
"Hey no your not it's fine I called a cab and tomarrow I think "i'm going to go car hunting If you want to go" I laughed it off it wasn't that big of deal anyways
"Thank you Bella your such a great friend" she hugged
"I feel so weird around these people" she said
"Me too girl" I said back. We both laughed
"Hey Rose" Emmett came in"Have you seen the wine bottle opener,Oh hey Bella" he said and gave me a hug.
"Hey" I said back. Rose handed him the opener.
"I think were about to get started" he told Rose
"Ok, hey Bella will you help me move all the food"
"Of
course" We moved it all to their dining room which had a long
wooden table that could seat about 25. Everyone wa standing in the
dining room. We Emmett tapped on his glass with his fork. Icouldn't
help but think how cliche. He told everyone thank you for
coming.
"And I would like to introduce someone to all of you
tonight" he looked right at me
"This
Is Bella Swan she just moved here from Forks, Washington and is a
journalist for The Boston Times" he said motioning towards me I
could feel the heat rise to my face. I smiled and looked around the
room and was met with a pair of beautiful green eyes. I'm pretty sure
my jaw dropped. I looked as his profile, he was the most handsome man
I've ever seen. He was tall and muscular but as much as Emmett he
hadly unruly bronze hair. I couldn't look away from him.
"Bella
would you like to sit here?" a man I didn't recognize asked me
"Mike" he held out his hand I shook it.
"Well you already know my name" Isaid and sat down the mysterious sat across from me and I couldn't help but glance his way every few minutes. Mike was sweet but he would not stop talking. I looked up and gave Rose a pleading look.
"Um...Bella would you help in the kitchen?" she said loudly the whole table got quite
"Of course" Isaid and got and made a beeline to the kitchen
"He won't stop talking" I said leaning aganist the counter
"Yeah Emmett is getting on my nerves! He is never this...this neat! For crying out loud he always making a sexual related comment!" she said
"Yeah, who is the guy with the bronzish hair" I asked and blushed
"Oh Edward? Thats Emmett's brother he lives in New York he is visiting trying to buy a place. He said he likes Boston alot better than New York so he is staying here till he finds a place" she explained "Why?"
"Er...just curious" I blushed
"Oh my god! You think he's hot don't you?!?"
"NO!" Isaid too quickly
"Sure Sure" she smiled and walked back out to the dining room.
The of the party went bye quickly. I was in the kitchen helping Rose clean up. We decided to take a break and when Emmett and Edward walked into the kitchen we were both sitting on the counter and we had a beer in our hands gigging lik idiots.
"Well what do we have here?" Emmett sais laughing reaching into the fridge getting his own and handing one to Edward.
"Oh nothing baby" Rose said" just cleaning" she winked at me and we both burst into a new fit of giggles.
"Oh Bella! I don't think you and Edward "offically" met. Bella this Edward my brother" Emmett said
"NO shit?" Rose said. He held out his hand to me and I shook it. It was warm and strong.
"So you used to live in Washington?" he asked
"Yeah"
"Our sister lives in Seattle, works for some fashion company"
"My brother lives there!"Rose piped in" and Bella's best friend!"
"You know Jasper?" Emmett asked
"Yeah we've been best friends since eighth grade, he's pretty much my brother" I said. We all talked for another hour, until I realized it was getting late.
"Rose, can I borrow your phone to call a cab?" I asked getting
"Nonsense" Edward said "I'll take you home" he said jumping off the counter
"No it's fine I-" he put his finger to my lips
"I want to take you home" he said I could feel his breath on my face
"Aww Emmett ar'nt they so cute?" Rose said looking at us. We both tooked a step awy from eachother. I felt the blush creeping to my face.
"Um...were going to...er go." Edward said
"Yeah, thank you two both so much for dinner" I said and hugged them both
"Just call me before you go car shopping tomarrow" she said
"Wait Your going car shopping?" Emmett whined
"Yeah" I laughed" do you want to come too?" I asked himl like he was a baby
"Hell! Lets just all go!" Rose said" we will be at your place around 11"
"Thats fine" I said and walked out with Edward
"So tell me about yourself Bella" Edward said once we were in his Volvo.
"Well...I like to write and read, I really love to watch sunsets" I admitted
"Your family?" he asked
"My parents got a divorce when Iwas little, I lived with my mom until I was in eighth grade then moved to my dad's house in Forks and then my best friend Jasper lived there too."
"What about you?" I asked
"We grew up in Chicago, My mother Esme is a fantastic person and my father Carlisle is a surgeon at a hospital in the city."
"So you just have two siblings right?"
"Yeah, Alice and I are twins so it feels weird being seperated and all. She used to live in New york too, but she got that job in Seattle and took it, and New York was just to lonly for me so I looking for a place here." he explained. We were stopped at a red light now
"Yeah thats what Rose said" I told him looking at him
" And what else did she say about me?" he asked amused
"Oh....that was it"
"Sure..."he said, I just rolled my eyes and lokked out the window and noticed we were here. He pulled right up to the door
"Thank you so much for the ride Edward" I said he gave me this crooked smile that nearly stopped my heart
"Anytime" he said"See you tomarrow, be ready to go car shopping!"
"Oh you know it!" I laughed and got out and shut the door and waved. Once I was in side my apartment my answering machine was beeping. I pressed the play button.
"Bella! It's Jasper, I think I'm in love! Oh god I am in love call me back I need my best friend!" he sounded excited and worried and scared. I called him back
"Bella! Oh thank god! I don't know what to do!"
"Ok just calm down, tell me about her" I encouraged. I learned her name was Alice and that she was amazing and he met her at the grocery store.
"Just tell her how you feel" I said "I'm happy for you Jas!" I said we said our goodbyes and hung up.
I fell asleep that night and dreamnt of Edward.
