I walked into the house in front of Emmet and ignored his questioning look. Alice and Rose where sitting in the lounge talking about something and Jasper was with them but he was watching some football game which I assumed Emmet had been watching judging by the two beer bottles on the coffee table. I put my bag down and got the attention of Alice and Rose while Jasper jumped up and whooped at the TV screen when his team made made a point or what ever.

"So how was it" Alice asked, turning around and leaning over the back of the couch while Rose just poured a third glass of wine and patted the seat next to her. I laughed and joined them on the couch taking the glass of wine and tucking my feet under myself and then taking one of the throw pillows and putting it on my lap. Alice turned around again and crossed her legs while Rose sat on the edge of the couch looking every bit the sophisticated gossip wife from those movie we liked to make fun of.

"It was amazing" I started but was interrupted by Jasper making a loud noise again only this time he was joined in by Emmet who sounded more disappointed than happy. They were obviously routing for different teams and it looked like Jasper's team was winning.

"Hello" Rose said, glaring at them "we are trying to have a conversation" they rolled their eyes and turned back to the TV with no promise of keeping the noise down so Rose being rose got up and snatched the remote from them and turned the TV off.

"Hey, we didn't ask you to gossip here" Jasper said glaring at his sister but she just shrugged

"We are not gossiping, we are having a very serious conversation" Rose stated seriously crossing her arms

"About Bella's date? Oh yeah that sounds so serious" Emmet said which only earned him a glare "come on Rosie, we just want to watch the game" he pouted at her, something he knew would make her give into him which only made me and Alice giggle so I stepped in to save them both.

"Rose why don't we just go up stairs, that way we can get ready for tonight and we can talk about this afternoon at the same time" I said and she sighed and agreed with me. Alice gave me a once over when we got up and I took the wine bottle with me

"I don't remembered you leaving in that hoodie" she stated, pointing at the over sized black hoodie that I still had on and I blushed. We got to the stairs and I noticed that Emmet was now looking our way, frowning at me or rather the hoodie so I decided to mess with him a little.

"yeah my clothes kind of got destroyed and Edward was kind enough to let me use his hoodie, to you know cover up" I glanced at Emmet who had turned red in the face and I tried not to laugh. He was worse than my father.

"What exactly happened to you clothes" he called out and I looked at him and put on an evil smile and shrugged my shoulders.

"oh you know things got a little wild" I said which wasn't a lie, rain was a natural part of the wilderness. "but don't worry about that, you just concentrate on your game" I said to his shocked face and saw Jasper laughing at him, I knew he knew I was messing with him and maybe he would explain it to him when we went up to the room. When we got up the stairs Rose looked at me and smirked.

"What really happened to your clothes" she asked and I let out the laugh I was holding in

"It started raining and I got soaking wet, Edward gave me his hoodie and I got undressed under it" I said walking towards Rose's room, she had the best bathroom and knowing her she would have all the hair care products and make up a girl could ask for.

"I thought as much" Alice said laughing "but why are you messing with Emmet" she asked and I shrugged and flopped down on the bed. Kicking my still wet shoes off and avoided the daggers Rose was sending my way when she noticed that they were still dirty.

"Because his acting like his got a stick up his ass" I said and turned to Rose who was moving my shoes to the front of the room where they wouldn't be in contact with the nice white clean carpet. "whats up with that by the way"

"Oh you know Emmet always the over protective older brother" she said and then smiled at Alice "He was even like that before we started dating, he would always give the evil eye or the cold shoulder to any of the guys I used to go out with but thinking back, I think that was just because he was jealous" she said and smiled. I knew for a fact thats exactly why he acted the way he did.

"He never did that when Jasper and I stared dating or even when me and Mike started going out" I stated matter of factly. If anything he was happy when I told him about them.

"He always suspected that you and Jasper would get together and he was happy for his two best friends and as for Mike, he was just happy that you were finally moving on from Jasper" she said while she got the hair products and any make up we would need, ready for tonight. "but now his seen you go through so much pain with Mike, his just scared that Edward is going to break you even worse than my brother or Mike ever has" she said sitting down at the table and giving me a serious look "we all are" she looked at Alice who nodded

"but why, it's not like we're dating or anything" I was confused at the way they felt about this whole thing with Edward. I mean sure it felt amazing to be with him but it wasn't like I was declaring my un dying love for the guy, I mean we had only just meet.

"We see the way you look at him Bella, it's different to how you looked at Mike"

"And even my brother" rose cut in and alice continued

"And the way he looks at you as well, I cant explain it but we just don't want to see you get hurt thats all" Alice said and took my hand in hers. I ran through what they were saying in my head and took a breath. They were right, with Edward it was different and I had never felt anything like what I felt when I was with him and we had only been on one date so far. I didn't know what it meant and I wanted to find out but my friends were worried about me and I didn't want that.

"I understand what you guys are trying to say I do and I promise to take things slow with Edward" I said smiling at both of them

"Good now tell us everything about what happened this afternoon" Rose said and I did. I told them how we started the walk and how he lead me off the path. Alice of course objected to that, telling me that that was a very stupid thing to do but Rose told her to shut up and for me to carry on with the story. I told them about the secret meadow and how beautiful it was and I told them that we almost kissed but that the rain had ruined it. The aw'ed at the right places and smiled when they saw how happy I was about the whole thing.

After I had done with my story telling we took turns showering, Rose went first then Alice then me. I tried not to sniff Edwards hoodie when I slipped it off and let it fall to the floor. It smelled just like him. By the time I got out alice had finished with her hair which wasn't a surprise considering it was so short and Rose was working on curling her hair and then brushing them out so that he hair become wavy. Her hair was naturally straight and she hated that my hair was naturally wavy and that she had to sit and curl it to get the desired effect but she wasn't envious of me which was good, envy just turned into bitter hate at the end of the day and if I was correct Rose still loved me.

"So Bella what do you want to do with you hair" Alice said but before I answered Rose did for me.

"I believe you said I could dress you tonight that means I get control over your hair as well" she said holding a brush in one hand and a straightener in the other "as well as your make up" she said and I groaned. The last time I had let her dress me, I had landed up looking like a hollywood social light and while Alice and her could pull that look off I could not.

"Please go easy on me"

"I make no promises" she said sitting me down in the chair and getting started. Alice laughed at me while she did her own make up and I shot her a glare and it wasn't long until she took over to let Rose do her own make up after giving Alice strict guidelines about what she wanted to do, not that I heard anything. When they were done with my hair and make up they moved on to the cloths. Rose and Alice argued about what I should wear until they both agreed on one thing and were pushing me into the bathroom to get dressed. I looked in the mirror and let out a relieved breath. They had gone easy on me this time and I had to admit I looked good. My hair had its soft natural waves but Rose and pulled half of it back and let some fall around my face to frame it, my make up was light and simple. My checks had a slight light pink hue to them as well as my lips and they had made my eyes look bigger by using white eyeliner and then just a little bit of black on the outer corners. The eye shadow they had used was a pale green that complemented my eyes and I saw a little silver as well and what ever mascara that had used I needed to get a hold of because my eyelashes looked amazing. I got dressed quickly into the white high low style dress, but the back only reached the bottom of my knees and it had a blue tribal pattern going down the front of it, I slipped on a pair of black ballet pumps, which surprised me. I thought I would have ended up in heels tonight.

I walked out of the bathroom to find Alice and Rose already dressed and putting some jewellery on. Rose was wearing a black skirt and white top with low hanging necklaces and a pair of black pumps while Alice wore a black dress that had a silver belt around the bust and then flowed out and stopped about mid thigh. They both looked amazing, as usual.

They looked up at me and gave me approving smiles. Alice come over to fix an invisible problem with my make up and Rose got out a necklace for me to wear.

"There perfect" she said and stepped back to see her master piece.

"I don't understand, this is something I would have chosen to wear myself. I was expecting something a little more out there" I said giving them both a suspicious look

"we know that you are hoping to run into Edward there so we though that we should make you look more natural and more Bella like but if your complaining I could always just put you in heels and squeeze you into that black dress I know you hate" Rose joked with me and I quickly told her that I was perfectly fine with what I was wearing

"good now lets get going I'm starving"
