BPOV- Swan Day Part 1
I woke up early Sunday morning. I rolled over to check my clock and it saw it was only 6am. There was no way I was going to be able to go back to sleep. I can't wait until my brothers get up and Swan day can start. It is time for my brothers to get in touch with their inner feminine side. I got out of bed and decided to make breakfast for my brothers. I know if I want Emmett and Paul to get pedicures I will need to butter them up first and breakfast is the perfect way.
I grabbed my Pod on the way to my bedroom door. I slowly opened the door listening to see if any of my brothers were up. The only noise I heard was Emmett snoring. I went downstairs and into the kitchen. I made my way to the counter where the iPod dock Jasper got me last Christmas sits. Plugging in my iPod, I decided to listen to my guilty pleasure of Justin Bieber. I realize that I am 22-year-old woman but some of his songs are so catchy plus, they really annoy my brothers. I decide to start with one of my favorite song Baby. I sing and dance while I cook the eggs and bacon for breakfast.
I am just about done with breakfast when I hear Paul yell, "Bells turn that damn music off. I don't understand why you listen to shit!" Guess someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
"Good morning to you too Paul. I am doing wonderful this morning, thanks for asking." I sarcastically yell back while turning up the volume.
"Isabella don't make me come down there and turn that shit off myself." Paul replies.
I pull my thoughts together and get ready to reply with another smartass remark, when Seth decides to butt in. "Paul did you forget today is Swan day and Bella gets to pick whatever she wants to do today?"
I heard someone stomping down the stairs and figured it was Paul coming to apologize. "Bells I am so sorry. I forgot that today was your day. Please forgive me. I am just really tired and wanted to sleep in later than 7am. I will do whatever you want today." Paul is right where I want him. He shouldn't put up too much fight when we go get our pedicures.
"I guess I can forgive you Paul has long as you don't fight me on what we do today."
"I promise I will go along with whatever you want Bells." I love manipulating my brothers!
Paul and I made our plates and went to sit down out the table as the rest of my brothers slowly came downstairs to eat.
"What is the plan today Bella?" Jasper asked. All eyes were on me, waiting for my answer. I didn't want to give too much away yet.
"If I tell you I have to kill you." I joked. I knew I was giving them nothing and they would keep asking through-out the day.
"Come Belly just a hint…please" I am surprised Emmett is even up let alone functioning this early in the morning.
I decide I would give them a little hint. "We are going somewhere that I like to go a lot." I figured they would already know we were going to the bookstore since I always want to go there when it is my day.
"Really Bella, the bookstore again." Sam rolled his eyes at me. Jasper and Ben are my only brothers that are really into books.
"Shut-up Sam! It is my day and when do whatever I want to do."
"I think the bookstore will be fun. There is this new book out about the Civil War that I really want to get." Jasper said trying to prevent the argument between Sam and I.
"We all know you love the Civil War Jasper. What else did you have planned Bella?" Seth knew I had something up my sleeve but I wasn't ready to reveal my hand yet.
"Sorry Seth. You will just have to wait and see what else we are doing today." I got up from the table and went to the kitchen to start doing dishes.
"Bella we will do the dishes since you made breakfast." Ben said following me to the kitchen.
"Thanks Ben. Be ready at 9am." I left the kitchen and went back upstairs to my room. I grabbed my phone off the bedside table and decided to text Edward.
"Good morning Edward! I hope you are having a good morning. I won't forget to take lots of pics of Emmett's pedicure." I hit the send button and figured he was probably still sleeping.
I decided I would go ahead and get ready. I brushed my teeth, combed my hair and put on a pair of jeans and t-shirt. Only 10 more minutes until my brothers should be ready to go. I heard my phone beep. Edward must already be up.
"Good morning beautiful! I hope you slept well last night. Have fun today with your brothers." Edward is so sweet. I am lucky to find someone like him.
I went downstairs and saw Ben, Jasper, Seth and Sam sitting on the couch ready to go. Emmett and Paul always take the longest to get ready. Sometimes I think they are more girly than me.
"Paul, Emmett let's go. We have a busy day and can't get behind schedule." I yelled up the stairs.
"Two seconds sis." Emmett yelled back while Paul came running down the stairs.
We all sat there in the living room waiting on Emmett. Somehow, his two seconds turned into five minutes but he finally came down the stairs.
"Okay Belly I am ready. Who are our designated drivers?" Emmett asked.
"Actually I thought we would just walk. It is really nice outside and everything I wanted to do is really close." I figured without cars it would be harder for my brothers to escape once they figure out what I have planned.
"Okay Belly. Lead the way." We all went out the front door and started walking towards the bookstore. The walk only took 10 minutes but of course, Paul decides to complain the whole time about how long the walk is.
"Okay Bells we are at the bookstore. What do we do now?" I knew Paul, Sam, and Emmett wouldn't know what to do when we got here. They didn't see how much fun can be had reading books. Ben, Jasper and Seth had already left the group to find books that interest them.
"Why don't you three go over to the kids section and look at picture books. You could also go look at the magazines while the rest of us go look at books."
"Belly do we have to be quiet in here like the library?" Emmett asked with a serious expression on his face. I can't believe these three and their dislike for reading.
"You are not required to whisper in here but just try to use your inside voice." I felt like I was talking to little children instead of grown men.
"Okay Bella. You can go look at books and we will go find the magazines." I walked off and hoped those three stayed out of trouble and didn't get me thrown out of my favorite bookstore.
After spending three hours at the bookstore I decide it was time to round up my brothers and go to lunch. Jasper, Seth and Ben were sitting in some armchairs reading some books.
"You guys ready to go to lunch?" I asked while walking closer to them.
"Yeah, we are just going to go checkout. Did you find any books you want Bella?" Seth asked while gathering up the two law books he had found.
"I didn't find any book I wanted this time. I am going to go look for Emmett, Paul and Sam while you guys are checking out. We will meet you at the front door." I figured I would go look where the magazines are first. I didn't see them there so decide to go check out the kids sections. I didn't really think they would actually go look at books there.
Rounding the corner to the children's section I heard someone talking. I saw a bunch of kids on the rug and a lady reading to them. It must be story time at the bookstore. Scanning the crowd of children, I spotted my brothers front and center listening to Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham. I can't believe my brothers. Luckily, the story was almost over and I wouldn't have to wait long. I pulled out my phone and took a picture of them sitting there during story time. I bet some guys on the team would really like to get their hands on this picture. This is perfect blackmail material.
Once the story was over, I ducked behind the shelf so my brothers wouldn't know they were caught. I saw them walking out of the children's section and decided to go and meet them.
"Hey guys did you find any magazines you wanted?" All three had guilty looks on their face,
"We didn't find anything Belly. Are you ready to go because I am really hungry?" Emmett is always thinking about his stomach.
"Let's go eat lunch. I have something special planned that I really think you will enjoy." The guys followed me to the front of the store where we met with everyone else.
"So Bella, where are we going to eat?" Ben asked me while exiting the front door.
"I have been wanting to try this place out for a while. Just follow me." I could tell by the looks on my brother's face they were confused but decided to follow me.
We rounded the corner and the tearoom I was taking them to came in view. "Belly there is no way we are going to eat there. Isn't there a McDonald's close by?"
"Sorry but today is my day and I want to eat at the tea room. I didn't complain when you made us go eat pound hamburgers on your day." I knew Emmett would eventually cave.
"Fine, let's get this over with." I could tell my other brothers wanted to say something but knew it would be smarter to keep their mouths shut.
Walking through the front door I could tell the hostess was shocked to see six grown men coming to the tea room.
"Table for seven please." I politely asked. We were all a little underdressed in t-shirts and jeans but it doesn't matter. The hostess led us to a table in the back of the room. I guess she figured we might be a little loud and scare off some of their more refined crowd.
"Your waitress will be right with you." The hostess said leaving our table. I watched my brothers faces has they took in the people in the tearoom. I could already tell this lunch was going to be unforgettable. Hopefully, we won't be asked to leave.
"Bella where are the menus?" Ben asked and I could tell they were all thinking the same thing.
"They don't have menus. The waitress will bring out an assortment of sandwiches and the soup will be whatever the chef decided to make today." I left out the part about what will be on the sandwiches. While they were digesting this new information, the waitress walked up to our table.
"What would everyone like to drink?" Luckily none of my brothers asked for beer.
The waitress left to get our drinks and Emmett turned around to look at me. "So Belly, what made you choose a place like this for lunch?"
"Like I said earlier this place is new and I wanted to try something different. Plus I am kind of tired of hamburgers all the time." I saw the waitress coming back with our drinks and food.
"The service here is really fast." Seth said also spotting the waitress coming back.
The waitress placed broccoli cheese soup in front of everyone and then placed a tray of cucumber and ham salad sandwiches in the center of the table. She then left the table.
"I guess she went back to get the rest of the food." Paul said while watching the waitress walk away.
"Actually this is all the food." I politely said waiting for the fallout.
"Belly, tell me you are kidding. There is no way soup and cucumber sandwiches are going to fill me up. Where is the meat?"
"Sorry Emmett but this is all we get." I tried to diffuse the situation. Looking at my other brothers I could see they were also in confusion about the amount of food.
"Bells, who in the fuck would pay for this tiny amount of food?" Paul was talking louder and the old lady at the table next to us turn around to glare at Paul.
"Fine. Let's just eat and then we will stop by the next McDonalds we see and you guys can get some hamburgers." I realized I needed to placate them or we would soon be asked to leave before we got to eat.
My brothers picked at the cucumber sandwich and barely ate there broccoli and cheese soup. I thought the food was really good but apparently it doesn't live up to their high standards. The waitress brought the check and handed it to me when I asked for it. I knew if my brothers saw the bill I would have another fight on my hands.
We quickly left the tearoom after the bill was settled. "Where to next Bella. Anything is better than that tearoom." Even Seth didn't like tearoom. Guess I will never be going there again with them.
"Let's find a McDonalds and then we have an appointment." There was a McDonalds right around the corner for the tearoom and the spa where we were getting pedicures was right next door.
"Okay guys eat fast because our appointment is at 1."
"What is our appointment for Belly? Are we playing laser tag? I knew you liked it when we went last month." I decide I would ignore Emmett's questioning and text Edward instead.
I left the booth I was in with my brothers and sat in one in the back. "Hi. The first part of the day was a lot of fun especially when I caught Emmett and Sam listening to the children's story time. Is your shoulder feeling better?"
Ten seconds later my phone buzzed with a reply. "Did you get pics? The ice is helping my shoulders. Are the pedicures next?"
"Of course I took pics. Pedicures are next. Wish me luck" I also sent Edward a picture of the boys listening to story time.
"ROFL. I can't believe they sat on the floor listening to story time. Good luck with the pedicures." Edward replied back.
I went back and joined my brothers," guys we need to leave or we are going to miss our appointment."
"Can't you give us a hint of what we are doing Bella." Sam whined while they all gave me puppy dog eyes.
"Sorry boys that doesn't work on me anymore. I have become immune to your puppy dog eyes." I started walking out the door with them following me.
I walked next door to the spa and could see the wheels turning in their heads trying to figure out what we were doing here. "Are we getting massages Belly because after all the practice coach has us doing I am really sore." I could see the excitement in Emmett's eyes about the massage and was a little reluctant to disappoint him.
"Actually Emmy we are getting pedicures." My brothers were so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
All of a sudden they all spoke at once.
"No way in hell" was Jasper's and Ben's response.
"Fuck that" was the eloquent Paul.
"I am out of here." Sam's
My twin didn't disappoint with "why are you torturing us Bella."
And last but not least Emmett's response was "What the fuck is a pedi… pedi… whatever the fuck you said?" This is going to be fun…
Hope you enjoyed it. Don't forget to review!
