Bella's POV
"Well this is so not going to work!"
"Come on it will be fun."
"We all can't fit in one car"
"Then we'll take two cars."
"Does anyone else smell smoke?"
"As long as I get shot gun I'm all right."
"Um guys I think something is on fire!"
Holy shit I though as I ran to the oven and pulled out the pizza Rose, Alice, and I made about 2 hours ago. I completely forgot about it with all of the commotion.
You see Me, Alice, and Rose had the perfect idea to go on a triple date. Rose and Alice both had guys and I would take Edward. They would give Edward and I some alone time so I could focus on the plan.
But of course my jack ass of a brother invited himself along with Jasper as his date, creepy, and somehow Jacob Black ended up in the mix. And just my luck Alice and Rose's dates bailed at the last minute. This is not what I had planned for tonight. Far from it.
I ran into the kitchen and opened up the oven door. Nothing but smoke came out making me turn my head and cough. I felt warm hands around me pulling me away from the kitchen.
"I got it, Bella." Edward said taking out the now black cheese pizza and walking to dump it outside somewhere.
The kitchen was full of smoke. Everyone started opening up windows trying to get the smell out. Alice started spraying air freshener everywhere, but I don't think it was helping.
"Great job Bella you almost burned down the house, and you know MY ass would have gotten chewed out for it!" Emmett yelled at me.
"Well I'm so sorry. It's your fault in the first place. Why did you have to ruin my night?"
"I love Chinese food women! I'm not going to pass up free all you can eat egg rolls and fortune cookies!" Emmett yelled.
"Well go on your own time." I yelled back.
"Okay stop with all the yelling. You guy are giving me a headache!" Rose said pushing Emmett and I away from each other before this argument turned into a fist fight.
"Look I'm hungry, we burned the pizza, Alice and I don't have dates, and I did not waste my precious time doing my hair and make up for nothing. We're going!" Rose said in a serious tone. She was right in a way. We did get all dolled up not to go out. I guess we better make the most of it. But I rather just stay home and hopefully plan this date for another night. Stupid Emmett!
"Fine." I said walking into the living room and putting on my coat and shoes. "But like I said before we don't have enough room for everybody so someone has to go home." I said looking at one person in particular.
"Aw come on Bells don't make me go home. All we have is left over tacos to eat back home. Billy is trying to starve me out of the house!" Jacob wined from the corner of the room.
"I don't particularly remember inviting you in the first place, Jacob. And I can care less if you starve. You have two hands and feet. Walk on over to the store and buy yourself food!" I said.
"I invited him, and I'm paying for his meal. End of discussion. We can all fight in my jeep. Now let's go, I don't like being late." Emmett said grabbing his keys off the table and walking out the door. He's such a drama queen. I really feel sorry for the girl who marries him.
"Shot gun!" Rose yelled. She quickly followed after him and literally pushed Jacob out of the way. Rose and Jacob hate each other so I know that made him mad.
"There's no way I'm sitting by Blondie." Jacob said running, too, out the door to pick his spot.
I turned to face Alice who was looking at Jasper and talking quietly to him. I don't know if they know each other very well. Of course they have met before, but we really never hung out with Jasper. I'm glad Jasper has a new friend. Edward use to worry about him when he was younger. He never liked hanging out with other people. He always played video games all day in his room and stayed home on weekends. I'm glad he finally got out of his shell.
"Well I'm going get a good seat before there all taken." Jasper said walking out the door.
"Me too." Alice said walking right behind him. Now it was just me and Edward left.
Edward was looking hot tonight, as usual. He had on a tight fighting dark green t shirt, which really showed off his muscles I might add, with his favorite jeans. He has worn those jeans so much that they are faded and washed out. And they look gorgeous on him. He walked over to me and brushed a piece of hair away from my face. I don't really recall the moment when we started to touch each other again. Like holding hands in the car and hugging each other, but of course I knew it was only a matter of time. It's all in the plan.
"We can stay here and let them all go if you want." Please say yes, please say yes! I chanted in my head.
"Come on Bella it's not going to be that bad." Edward said stepping away from me so he could put on his coat, and walk towards the door.
"Ummm, me and you, my brother, your brother, Alice, Rose, and an unwanted guest that's a recipe for disaster!" I said turning off the lights in the kitchen, closing the oven door, and locking the front door on my way out. It's funny how I was saying that I didn't want to go, and in the process I was walking out the door ready to leave.
"Look Emmett and Jacob are just hungry. They will be stuffing their faces the entire time so they won't be a problem." Edward said leading me to Emmett's gigantic jeep and helping me inside. I guess we got stuck in the back seat since we were the last to come out of the house, but I was surprised to see Alice and Jasper there too.
I looked up at the front seat and Rose was in the middle of Emmett and Jacob while Alice was almost sitting on Jaspers lap trying to make room for Edward and I. Emmett's jeep might be big, but not big enough to fix 4 people in the back seat. There aren't even enough seat belts. I'm pretty sure that's illegal to have one more person in the car than you can fit. Our dad is a cop for crying out loud. Emmett should be ashamed of himself.
"I thought you weren't sitting by Rose, Jacob?" I said mocking him while trying to make myself fit. Me and Alice were smushed together uncomfortably.
"It wasn't my choice." Jacob said through his teeth. He looked pissed, and I was happy about that. He had no reason to show up here tonight. Even if Emmett invited him. I was still pissed about the kiss. Hey that rhymed. Maybe I could come up with a lame song, and put it on YouTube and be one of those YouTube stars. I bet it would get a million hits in one day.
"Jacob is too big to sit in the back. He kept blocking my review mirror. And you and Alice are so small that you are practically the size of one person so deal with it." Emmett said.
Rose and Jacob have never gotten along as long as I could remember. I'm not really sure why they started hating each other, but whatever it was they sure didn't forget. I'm sure being so close to each other is killing them.
Emmett started the engine and we quickly pulled out of our drive way and down the street. I couldn't help but notice how close Edward and I was sitting together. And with every turn either I was pushed up against him or he was trying not to squish me. He kept apologizing but I didn't mind. In fact I didn't mind at all. I think I just might let him kiss me tonight. That's the next step in my plan.
No one was really talking while we were on our way to Port Angles. The music was blaring anyway so I guess it kind of made it hard to talk. Emmett asked Edward a question about football and that got a whole conversation started up between all the guys. It was boring for Rose and Alice to listen. They really aren't into the sport. But me I love football. I tried to put my thoughts on the conversation but no one would listen. Edward and I loved to talk about sports. It was the one topic I found we really connected on. We never ran out of things to say.
I zoned out of the conversation for a few seconds thinking about old times again. I really hated myself for doing it but it's my heads fault. It keeps letting me remember the past. Stupid brain. I zoned back to the present and I found that they stopped talking about football and instead everyone was complaining about how dirty Emmett's jeep was.
"You could have at least cleaned out the back seat Emmett." Edward said. I'm glad he said it and not me. Emmett and I are already on bad terms for the night. I really don't want to push him. He would have gotten so mad at me if I said it. Sometimes I think he likes Edward better than me. Well I can't blame him. I like Edward better than him sometimes. Then Edward starts acting like an ass and Emmett is god.
"Hey you don't like it then get out!" Emmett said. I swear he can be so rude and annoying all the time.
"But seriously dude why keep a tennis racket, a shoe box, 3 football helmets, an 11th grade biology book, and golf clubs in your back seat?" Jasper said pushing things around to make room for him to up his feet on the floor.
"Hey that's my book. Emmett, I had to pay that stupid teacher a hundred bucks because I thought I lost it!"
"Oh well don't leave your stuff in my car." Emmett said. How much longer do we have until we finally get there!
"So I saw the cutest little thing today!" Rose said enthusiastically turning her body so she can face us. Wow that was kind of random.
"Do you mean Rob?" Alice said smiling at Rose and poking her in the arm. Rose is still trying to win over Rob. She keeps telling us he's not worth her time, but we know she's still trying.
"NO! I told you guys he's gay."
"He's not gay!" Alice and I shouted at the same time.
"Whoa wait a minute. Who are we talking about?" Emmett asked.
"The new waiter at the diner. His name is Rob and he is C. U. T. E cute!" Alice squealed.
"Oh you just like him for his accent." Rose yelled getting pissed off.
"And what's wrong with that? You think we like him for his incredible waitering skills? I said to Rose.
"Whatever." Rose said turning back around facing the road in front of us.
"Oh come oh Rose. What was the cutest thing you saw today?" I asked.
"No don't try to be my friend now. Bitches." Rose said the last part under her breath, but still loud enough for us to hear. Me and Alice just laughed it off. She won't be made for long.
~&*^%$%~
We finally made it to the restaurant. Rose stayed mad the rest of the way there. Emmett sang way too loudly to that new Lady Gaga song, and everyone laughed at him. Edward still leaned into me on the turns but now he embraced them instead of trying not to squish me. We kept smiling at each other and scooted closer to each other more and more. I liked this. Everyone was together and having a good time.
We all got out of the jeep and walked through the packed parking lot to the front door. Edward and I stayed in the back of the group and we actually held hands. His big hand felt warn in my small one. He kept looking down at me not saying anything. He would just smile and I would smile back. This was easy. Like breathing. Everything was coming together and I liked it. The plan was going perfectly.
We got inside and there was a line of people waiting to be seated. Emmett was pissed, but his love for egg rolls made us stay and wait the extra 20 minutes just to be seated. At first there was nowhere to sit so we all just crowed in the corner. Edward and I, again, were in the back of the group. They acted like a curtain in front of us so no one really saw it when Edward leaned down and place a kiss on my check. It was soft and light. Like he scarcely touched my skin. He smiled at me some more and I couldn't help but to keep smiling back. We must look so weird just smiling at each other not saying a word.
I got brave and let go of Edward's hand. He looked shocked and worried, like he might have did something wrong, but I reassured him of his doubts when I put my arms around his waist and reached up on my tippy toes to give him a light kiss on the lips.
"What was that for?" he whispered in my ear.
"You have been a good boy lately so I thought I would reward you." I whispered back.
"Well I guess from now on I better be on my very best behavior if that's going to be my reward." He laughed.
"Yes and then some so be good." I said smacking him on his ass. He was shocked, but I know he liked it.
"Hey easy now we are in public." He joked. I gave him a seductive smile and turned around with my back toward him. I made sure to press against him in a place I knew he would like.
"Bella I'm serious." He ordered in my ear.
"Shhhhh…no one will know. They can't see us with Emmett, Jacob, and jasper in front of us." I said while slowly grinding against his man hood. I could start to feel it get hard. Excellent!
"Bella!" he ordered one more time in my ear.
"What? Do you really want me to stop?" I asked.
"No."
"Well then be quiet!"
"Emmett Swan your tables ready!" a young hostess yelled.
"Damn it!" Edward yelled making everyone turn around and look at us. My face started turning red because I knew at least Rose and Alice would know what I was doing to the poor boy. They both smiled.
"What?" Jasper asked.
"I ….uhh….forgot to turn my TV off before I left." Edward said.
Good cover up I thought. He's done worst.
"Well I'm sure it won't bother you too much. Let's eat!" Emmett said leading everyone to the table.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Edward said.
"Want me to come with you?" I smiled.
"No you did enough damage." He smiled and quickly walked away. I followed the group to the table.
"Where Edward went?" Alice asked.
"Bathroom."
"I wonder why?" Rose said raising her eyebrows at me.
"NO idea, but hey, when you got to go you gotta go."
Everyone laughed. Our waitress came to take our orders. Everyone knew what they wanted, and like Emmett would wait for Edward to come back to the table so I just ordered for him. thank god I knew what he like over here.
A few minutes passed and still no sign of Edward. At this point I was starting to get worried.
"Emmett can you go check on Edward?" I asked.
"He's Jasper's brother make him do it."
"Jasper?"
"Are you really going to make me go look for him in the bathroom? I'm sure he's fine." Jasper reassured me.
"Jacob?" I asked.
"Oh so you're only nice to me when you want me to do something for you?"
"Fine I'll do it myself." I said getting up from my seat and walking to the bathrooms. I really didn't know what I was going to do. It's not like I could just walk in the men's bathroom. Well I could but that would be weird.
So I just waited in the little hall way hoping that Edward would come out soon. I walked into the girl's bathroom and just checked my hair and makeup then walked out waiting again.
Another few minutes gone by and still no Edward. There was no way his erection was that bad that it would take this long for him to get himself under control. I was seriously about to go into the men's bathroom when Rose came around the corner.
"He's back at the table, but I don't think you're going to like It." she said.
"Why?"
"Just don't say I didn't warn you okay."
"Now you're making me kind of nervous." I said as we were walking back. Like she said Edward was back at the table but there was a blonde headed chick sitting right next to him in the seat I was sitting in.
"Who's that?" I whispered.
"Some chick Emmett and Edward know from college. Don't freak out but Edward asked if she wanted to sit with us and she accepted." Rose said with an apologetic smile. My heart sank into my stomach, and it started to beat really fast. I felt the tears forming but I held them back and kept my head held high. I pushed passed Rose and walked toward the opposite side of Edward and the blonde chick, pulled up a chair and sat in the middle of Emmett and Jacob. Jacob was pissed but right now I didn't care.
"Of all the places to sit you sit by me?" Jacob asked.
"OH Jake you know I love you and can't stay mad for long." I said pinching his checks.
"Great! Now you love me!" Jacob said in a sarcastic tone.
"Hey Tanya this is my sister Bella. Bella this is Tanya she goes to school with me and Edward." Emmett said in between stuffing his face with egg rolls. It's embarrassing to be seen out in public with him when he acts like that.
"Nice to meet you, Bella." She said in a fake voice. She was tan, but it wasn't natural. It's looked like she sprayed herself because she was looking kind of orange. She of course had blue eyes and her hair looked like it came out the bottle. I could see some darker roots poking out. She had on way too much make up for my liking, and her perfume was strong. I could smell her from across the table. The smell was starting to give me a head ache. And of course she was wearing a tight fitting hot pink dress with rhinestones and glitter. It looked like she was going to the prom!
"Nice to meet you, too." I said with as much enthusiasm as I could muster up and with a fake smile.
I looked at Rose and Alice to see what they were thinking. They both rolled their eyes. As if to say that I shouldn't worry. But I was worrying. Especially when Edward's arm was draped on the back of her chair. I knew he did it out of habit, but it still hurt. That was supposed to be me sitting in that chair tonight. And his arm around me. There goes my night. At this point I can't see how it can get any worst. Then Jacob and Emmett make it even worst.
"So Tanya where are you from?" Jacob asked.
"I'm from Cali originally but after school I plan on moving to New York to pursue my modeling career." She said with confidence.
"Oh so you're a model?" Jacob asked with a smile.
"Well I'm trying to be. I'm waiting on my call back from playboy." She said turning to smile at Edward. Edward smiled back as if they were sharing some secrete. He's dead to me!
"Hey Alice aren't you moving to New York to be a model or some shit?" Emmett yelled across the table with a mouth full of food.
"NO Emmett I'm moving with my mother. I'm going to school up there." Alice said.
"Oh right. Isn't your mom like a model?" Jacob asked.
"No she's not!" Alice yelled getting annoyed.
"Oh well then we might run into each other in the Big Apple then!" Tanya said.
"Yea I doubt it. New York is a big city." Alice said rolling her eyes at her.
"Rose you should be a model." Emmett said.
"Why would I want to be a model Emmett? I like to eat. No offence to you." Rose said looking at Tanya.
"It's okay I know the life style can be crazy, but it's what I was born to do, you know?"
Was this chick serious? 'It's what I was born to do'? Why is she sitting with us?
"I don't know. You're hot. That' one thing you got going for you." Emmett said.
"Emmett!" I yelled.
"What? Just saying." Emmett said.
"You think I'm hot?" Rose asked. And smile was forming on her face.
"Yea I'd tap that ass." Emmett said smiling at her. I thought Rose would yell at him and called him a pervert, but she surprised me. She actually blushed! I've never seen Rose blush in my life.
"Okay new topic!" I yelled. Slamming my hands on the table making my water spill out of my glass.
"So did you and Edward date?" Jacob asked Tanya.
"Jake!" I yelled. That was so not the new topic I wanted to get on.
"No we didn't date." Tanya said. Edward was looking uncomfortable. He pulled his arm off of her chair and started eating his food on his plate. He hasn't looked at me yet.
"Oh." Was all Jacob said. I think he was happy with her answer. And for Edward's sake I was happy with her answer too.
"Yea we just hooked up a few times. No big deal. Then we actually became friends. Isn't that right Eddie?"
My face was red with anger, my heart was about to explode, and my fist were balling up just waiting to hit him. He choked on his food with this new information. Then when he finally got himself under control he looked at me. His face was apologetic, but his eyes where wishing that I didn't make a scene. I tried to hide my anger as best as I could. Everyone at the table was speechless. All eyes were on me and Edward just waiting for someone to speak. I felt the tears, but I held them back.
"Bella?" Emmett said putting his hand on my still balled up fist. I looked at him and his eyes told me to cool down and don't say anything. I actually listened to my brother's unspoken words and let it go. I took a deep breath and let it out with all my anger. And grabbed my fork and began eating my food in silence not looking up from my plate for the rest of the time.
