I knew he knew I was worried. I couldn't hide my expression. What did he want to talk to me about? Why was he so serious?
"I can see that you are worried but don't be. I understand me being here is hard on you. And I don't want you to have to hold back just because I'm here. I want you to be you. I know John does not know about me so just to make things easier, try to just be the Bella he knows. This way he won't suspect anything," before he could continue my phone started ringing. I looked at the call I.D. and saw it was Alice and Edward's oldest brother Emmett. I ignored it.
Emmett and I were always close. He loved when me and Edward were together. But ever since Edward broke up with me, Emmett hasn't really talked to him. And ever since their families last visit (minus Edward) me and Emmett have been getting even closer. He isn't very fond of Edward. No matter if I have a boyfriend or not, Emmett saw how hurt I was and he can't help but still be mad at Edward. Edward didn't know that we walked a lot either.
"Sorry about that. It is no one important," I said, knowing he had more to say even though I just wish he'd stop.
"I just really want to make everything easier on you. I still really care abo…" my phone rang again. I ignored Emmett once again and nodded at Edward so he could continue.
"I just think you should have fun. I will stay out of your way. I just really want to say I'm sor…" my phone rang again.
"Just answer it," he told me before I could ignore Emmett again. If only he knew it was his brother calling.
"What!" I answered the phone sounding annoyed.
"Well Hello to you too Bella," the cheery Emmett was on the other end.
"Why did you feel the need to call me 3 times. Did you not get the hint I was doing something."
"And what are you doing," he asked curiously.
"Talking to someone."
"John?" he asked
"No."
"Alice?"
"No."
"Jasper?" he guessed one last time.
"No!! Stop guessing! What do you want?" I demanded.
"Well you see Rosalie is going on a business trip this coming up weekend and she said if I didn't want to stay home I could come visit you. So I was calling to see if I could," he sounded so excited.
"Um how about I get back to you on that. I will call you back," I said quickly and hung up. I felt bad. But Emmett could not come down with Edward here. That would be a mess. He would not be happy. I don't know what I'll do. Edward was staring at me.
"Sorry Edward, stupid friends." I tried to play it off.
"Um yeah. Well I just wanted to let you know not to act different tonight because of me," he said with such sincerity.
"Ok well I'll try. Thanks. But I want to finish getting ready if you don't mind," I just really wanted him out of my room. I couldn't take it anymore. He nodded and walked out.
About 15 minutes later John had arrived. I looked at myself in the mirror. I had put on a jean skirt and my favorite blue tank top. My hair was straight and silky, my make up was done just like Alice taught me. This will make John go crazy.
I walked out in the kitchen where Edward and John were becoming best friends. It made my stomach ache to see them getting so along. I don't think I can handle them being friends. Edward looked so good. I swear I heard his heart break when I saw him. John as always looked yummy. Jean pants with a buttoned down black shirt. The top 5 buttons were undone teasing me with his perfectly sculpted, tan chest. His short black hair done just right and the smile he gave me when I walked in made me melt.
"So, you know you are by far the most gorgeous girl ever to walk the earth right?" John told me while admiring my stomach that was showing between the bottom of my tank top and the top of my skirt. Then he worked his eyes down to all the amount of leg I was showing with my short skirt. I closed the gap between us and kissed him.
"Well thank you. You look amazing too."
"Perfect couple," he smiled and I bit his lip.
Edward watched for a moment but he went to let in the rest of our friends who were at the door. Once he left the kitchen I pushed John against the counter to take charge. I couldn't control myself. I kissed his lips, then his jaw, down to his neck and I slowly kissed my way down his chest. He let out a little moan and then I stopped.
"Not right now babe," I put 2 fingers on his lips when he went to kiss me.
"You are killing me Bells!" I winked at him and took his hand while we went into the living room with our friends.
We figured out the car situation after picking out the restaurant. I was driving John, Edward, and Chad. Mike was driving Christina, Mike, and Angela. And we were on our way to an Italian restaurant 10 minutes away.
Edward and Chad were chatting in the back while John fumbled through the radio stations to find a song he liked. He finally stopped on a song he liked. And when I heard the words pouring in my head I wanted to die. It was our song. I couldn't focus anymore. This was the one song that always made me think of him.
The strands in your eyes
That color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains
Thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows
Of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
He sang that to me on our first date. It was the sweetest thing I ever heard. I wanted to change the station so bad but I couldn't. It was like I was frozen. Edward had stopped talking when he heard the song. What should have been a short car ride turned into a long painful ride. Even when the song was over I still couldn't move. It was the longest few minutes of my life. I knew tonight was going to be long. And I knew I wasn't going to be able to look at him for the rest of the night.
All dinner we never looked at each other. We both just faked our way through it. He was much better at it. He always was.
"Hey Bella, when is the next time Emmett is coming down for a visit?" Scott asked me towards the end of dinner. I didn't know how to answer. I just sat there. Edward wasn't suppose to know Emmett came down here!
"My brother?" Edward asked curiously.
"Um yeah," I said, not knowing how to answer.
"He visits?" he asked while raising an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah he has a lot. Your whole family has really. But Emmett and Lindsey have become really close, so him and Rosalie visit anytime they can for a weekend. Him and Bells talk almost everyday," John answered before I could make up a lie. He looked mad.
"That is interesting," yes he was mad.
"So when is he coming?!" Scott asked again
"Um I don't know. I'll ask him next time we talk," I said quickly and avoiding all eye contact with Edward.
The rest of the dinner dragged on, longer than the car ride. I was really hoping we weren't doing anything after this. I needed to go home.
"My friend is having a party tonight if we want to go there," Mike offered. I was screaming no in my head while everyone, even Edward, agreed to go. This was going to be a long night.
Well I hope Bella is ready for the party! Hope you liked : ) review please!
