Hey readers. Welcome back to "Thinking of You".
Okay, so I'd like to thank all of the reviewers who have read and reviewed this story for me. I was surprised at the response I had gotten for this story, and I love it that you all thought of it as a hilarious and funny little story. You've been all very helpful and encouraging towards me in writing this story and everything about it. So, again thank you...
And, since all of you who have reviewed have helped me so much, this once one-shot will now be transformed into a short story! :D
I know; it's been way overdue of me to actually be updating any of my older stories such as this one. But, I really have been busy with damn school work - such as doing a Writing Portfolio thing, and then writing out a tiny novel of sorts. Thankfully though, I have all of that done and now it's only one more week of school left for me, and then, it'll be summer! :D
So, instead of listening to me ramble on about my absence, let's get the chapter on with already!
(I'll be trying my best in writing Bella's friends' POVs. I've never really written in Angela's POV, or Jessica's, or Lauren's, or Tyler's, or Eric's - not really any of them, period. Mike is my first "Bella's friends' POV" thing. XD)
~Thinking of You~
Chapter Two
Angela's POV
"I swear, I thought I was going to puke from the sight of what they were doing!" I rolled my eyes at Mike's ramblings, and turned my attention back to my book. He was prattling on and on about how he saw Bella and Edward basically "making out" and "groping each other" during lunch, while the rest of us were in the classrooms either catching up on our work or helping out teachers. Seriously, none of us knew if he was telling the truth, or not.
I for one was never a believer of Mike and his tales of how he thought of Edward as the most gross and perverted guy in the school. (Obviously, that title belongs to Emmett, his huge brother. Bella has told me of how perverted he was towards her and Edward's relationship with each other.) I thought of Edward as the most kind and most thoughtful guy ever. He was just a quiet teenager in the beginning, but when Bella moved to Forks, you could tell the difference in his behavior towards her. It was definitely plain to see that he was madly head-over-heels in love with Bella.
And, I am of course happy for Bella; deeply, I am. After Edward had left her last year, she was devastated and so depressed without him, that I knew she was still trying to fill the void in her heart when the Cullens left since she sat at their old lunch table mostly every day. I was pretty sad to see the family leave too, because it felt as if they had taken my friend away from us too. She was the living dead, and she was devoid of the capability to show any emotions. I knew it took a lot out of her to really bond with us again, but I was very happy to see her change of her state once the Cullens had returned to school when school had started again.
"Mike, seriously, do you expect us to believe all of this nonsense you're prattling on about, of what Edward and Bella did? They love each other, so get over it." I stated out bluntly, puffing out my cheeks when I gave a heaving sigh. Ben - my Ben - chuckled lightly from beside me, while I could feel everyone else either staring or glaring at me.
"I'm telling the truth! They even left the cafeteria, and they were still at it!" Mike cried helplessly at us, shuddering as if he was reliving the memory of it all. "Dude, why were you even watching them do that?" Tyler questioned him, snickering over at him while Eric laughed at Mike's red face. "Well - I uh - I was just, um - it wasn't my intention to watch!" Mike sputtered out stupidly, while we laughed at his embarrassment. "No one said that you had to watch them have a PDA moment, Mike." Jessica told him slowly.
Mike groaned out, and banged his head on the restaurant table we were sitting at for our "out-to- eat" dinner night we were having. "It's not fair that no one will believe me for once." Mike moaned out in agony, where Jessica sympathetically rubbed small circles on his back in hopes that it would comfort him. "We can't believe something that we haven't seen." Lauren pointed out to him, shrugging her shoulders.
Just then, the couple we were talking about right now decided to enter into the seating area of the restaurant. Bella looked very beautiful in her blue dress that she was wearing, while Edward looked handsome like always in a simply crisp white button down shirt with a black tie and black dress pants. They followed after the hostess that was leading them to a booth, where I could see that she had an extra sway in her hips and glancing over her shoulder at Edward to see if he was watching the motion of her hips.
Edward wasn't though. His golden eyes were solely focused on Bella's petite, blushing form who was clumsily walking by his side, her hand wrapped tightly around his. But when she stumbled for the fifth time, Edward smiled down at her and wrapped his arm around her waist tightly, his hand near her tiny hip of her dress. She blushed naturally, but smiled and giggled up at him.
The hostess showed them their booth, throwing in a wink over at Edward to which he of course ignored for he was still focused on his girlfriend, and then she walked off, while Edward let Bella slip inside the booth before he slid in beside her and replaced his position of his arm around her waist to fit comfortably around her shoulders.
"Great, they're here." Eric muttered, rolling his eyes while he nonchalantly sipped his drink. I could also see that Bella was looking over at us in curiosity, while Edward simply stared down at his menu. "Guys don't be so mean to them." I warned them, scowling at their animosity towards them now. Really, they were hypocrites. The guys worshipped the ground Bella walked on, and they still do. It's just whenever they hear or see that Edward is with her, they treat the both of them as if they were some disgusting disease.
"We won't. But if I start hearing them making the sounds they made in the cafeteria, I'm out of here." Mike grumbled, shaking his head while he looked over his menu.
Our meal together went on like normal, except I would occasionally glance over at Edward's and Bella's table, and normally, I'd see them whispering to each other, or nuzzling their noses together, or just Edward kissing Bella quickly. I found all of it rather adorable and so romantic. My Ben was never one to show Public Displays of Affections with me, because he was more reserved and thought that our dating life should be quiet. I was fine with all of that really. I hated to be the center of attention just like how much Bella hated it, but I still found it adorable whenever Edward would do the simplest of romantic things with Bella.
During our meal, Bella got up and went stumbling off in the direction of the bathrooms, while I could see Edward staring down at something in his lap, before he had answered his ringing cell phone. "You think we should confront Bella in the bathroom?" Lauren muttered to Jessica, while I glared at her. How could she be so darn mean to Bella? I thought she was way over the fact of how Tyler flirted with Bella in the beginning.
I excused myself to the bathroom to go protect Bella from these two, and when I entered the bathroom, I saw her fixing up her hair in futile. "Need some help, Bella?" I asked her kindly, causing her to jump. "Sorry." I apologized to her, only to get her giggling. "It's alright, Angela." Bella murmured to me, giving me a smile. I walked over to where she was standing in front of the mirror, and tried to help her fix her mussed up hair - I'm not an Alice, so it wasn't the best looking hairstyle - that no doubt had been run through by Edward's fingers.
"So, mind letting me in of how your date is going so far, Bella?" I asked her in a questioning tone, leaving it up to her to decide whether or not she would want to tell me. Bella blushed and hid her head, while she dug her ballet flat covered foot in linoleum floor bashfully. "It's going good, really. I mean, it seems like Edward is acting all more so lovey-dovey than he usually does, but that's not a bad thing." Bella mumbled, where I smiled.
"Well, that's Edward for you. I still think that he's so romantic." I told her honestly, to which she lifted her head and giggled at my comment. "We should head out so you can get back to him." I suggested to her, taking her hand and leading her out of the restroom. Bella, smiling, nodded before she enveloped me in a huge hug. I laughed at the sudden hug, and patted her on the back while squeezing her lightly, before we released each other and headed back over to our tables.
I sat down beside Ben, and continued eating my meal, watching the couple every now and then. "What is he doing?" I heard Eric ask Mike, and I looked up from my meal, to see Bella digging through her little bag for something, while Edward was lifting up a little black box from his lap and then set it down on the table. He began nudging it towards her while he was whispering something to her, and with a gasp, she looked up at him with wide eyes until the little black box hit her hand.
She stared down at it with her wide eyes, while Edward whispered something to her, and then leaned in towards her ear, probably still whispering to her. Bella gasped again and her hands flew to her gaping mouth, with little tears starting to stream down her eyes. Edward leaned back from her ear, and watched as she grabbed the little box with one hand, and opened it up with the other, and then, she gaped at him.
Because now in her hand was a beautiful, diamond encrusted, silver-band ring.
"Holy... Shit..." Mike muttered in awe, his mouth gaping wide open like ours from the romantic and gorgeous scene before us. Bella, with tears streaming down her face, nodded her head repeatedly while letting Edward slide the ring onto her "ring" finger, and then with her hand clasped in hers, he kissed her lips, using his other hands to wipe away her falling tears.
Edward Cullen has just proposed to Bella Swan... and I was extremely happy for her - my best friend.
So, was this chapter any good at all? I found it all so cute. :D
