Hello my lovely readers! Finally! I get to WRITE! I've been so busy! I just haven't had the time to update! I went to a party yesterday and I'm REALLY tired (yawn)...
Anyway! This is Dinner and the movies... I think this will just be fluff... maybe not. I don't plan my writing, I just start and can't stop so I'm sorry if this chapter might not make sense...
LOVE MY REVIEWERS! Can anyone tell me what 'OCC' means? I honestly have no clue! Yes I'm that stupid sometimes! So... can anyone tell me? Please?
I am now officially giving names to my chapters, from now on!
Enjoy this chapter! There's going to be two parts to this chapter by the way. ;)
Chapter 12: Dinner and the Movies... and maybe something more... PART ONE!!!
Bella's POV...
As soon as Rose, Alice and I got home, I was forced into a Bella Barbie session. They still irritated me a bit, but I found that I actually felt happy that Alice and Rose were trying to make me look beautiful. But I'm still nothing compared to them, no matter how good I look.
Alice just began curling my hair when Rosalie gasped and dropped the hairspray she was holding to my bedroom floor – the designated Bella Barbie room. I stared at Rose, and so did Alice. What was wrong with Rose? Her eyes were wide and her mouth was hanging agape.
"What's wrong Rose?" I asked cautiously. Rosalie jumped, like she was surprised. Weird...she's always alert...
"What?" She asked. I exchanged a confused look with Alice. Rose was acting really strange.
"What's up Rosalie?" Alice asked. Rose seemed to have had an epiphany of sorts; that's the only thing that could be getting her to act like this.
"Oh! I just remembered that we've all got classes tomorrow, and none of us are prepared!" Rose exclaimed. Alice and I gasped. We all had classes at college tomorrow – Monday. Great. All of us went to the local college – just half an hour from our house – and we all had lots to prepare for. Oh god! Alice is in a Fashion major/Art major. Rosalie is in a... um... I don't know the name of her major but I know it has stuff to do with mechanic stuff. I, am taking an English major, but I'm also working as a journalist already. I want to become an Author someday, but until that day, I want to be an English teacher (AN: LIKE ME!) to middle school kids. Don't ask me, why middle school, because I don't know myself. I am working on a book, but I don't think it's good enough to be published, and it's no where near finished.
"Oops?" Alice said, more like a question.
"Shall we cancel our plans with the guys so we can prepare?" I asked. Rose and Alice looked horrified.
"NO!" They both shrieked in unison. I nodded my head slowly.
After that, the Bella Barbie session continued, and before long, we were talking about the guys.
"Jasper's so perfect," Alice sighed, a dreamy look on her face, "I love him so much..." She sighed contently again. I was gob smacked.
"Alice? You already love Jasper?" I asked.
"Well duh! And he loves me too, he already told me." She beamed. Wow... that was fast... I sighed then shook my head. Alice will be Alice. I saw how Jasper and Alice looked at each other; the word 'love' just rejoiced in your head, and glowed from both of them.
"Really? I'm so happy for you Alice." I approved sincerely. Rose nodded. Alice grinned, then got back to work on my hair. That's when Rose started...
"Emmett asked me out on a date yesterday before the party. We were supposed to go on our date tonight, but we decided to postpone it until next Saturday. He's amazing; annoying and embarrassing, yes, but amazing," She stared off into space, a dreamy look on her face. That's when they both turned to me expectantly. I blushed slightly. I knew what they wanted to hear, but I decided to play dumb. Maybe that way they would let it go.
"What?" I asked.
"Don't play dumb Isabella," Alice scolded; ouch, my full name, "what's happening with you and Edward? I saw the looks you were giving each other." Damn.
"Nothings going on guys, really. And before you say it, no, we are not together, we are not going on a date and nothing is happening between us." I said embarrassed and slightly sad. Of course I wanted all of those things, but I still don't feel that I can trust Edward yet, after what happened at the park. I know, he's sorry but what's stopping it from happening again? He could hurt me again. I was hurt, I need time to trust him again.
I explained all of this to Alice and Rosalie. They understood, but were sad that nothing was going on.
Soon after the Bella Barbie session finished and I was shown the mirror. I looked great. I wore a deep blue sweater that had no shoulders, a black vest underneath, black skinny jeans and dark blue one inch heels. My hair was curled and shiny, and I could see hints of auburn in my brown hair for the first time; I never knew they were there. My makeup was light; just a touch of mascara and eyeliner, some clear lip gloss and smoky eyes.
Rosalie had exactly the same outfit except her sweater was red, and her heels were red. Alice wore the same except her sweater was light purple including her heels. They looked awesome, better than me. I internally sighed.
The guys arrived at six. Alice, Rose and I ran down the stairs to greet them. We opened the door. Edward, Jasper and Emmett stood there, looking great, especially Edward. Emmett went to greet Rosalie and Jasper went to greet Alice, that just left myself and Edward.
"Hey," I whispered, looking shyly at him through my lashes. It was a few seconds before he replied.
"Hi Bella, you look beautiful," He complimented. I blushed a deep red and looked down.
Before I knew what happened, Edward was in front of me, lifting my face up with his index finger under my chin. I stared into the brilliance that was his emerald green eyes and had to smile. He smiled back.
"You look great," I whispered. Edward got a beautiful crooked smile on his face and his eyes were full of happiness.
"Bella..." Edward trailed off. He looked down and ran a hand through his bronze hair – a nervous habit probably.
"Edward?" I asked.
He looked at me through his long lashes. I bit my lip to stop the gasp that was trying to form. He looked even more beautiful when he did that, really adorable.
"Nothing," He sighed frustrated. I looked at him questioningly but he just shook his head.
"Right everyone! Rose and Emmett can go in Emmett's Jeep, Jasper and I can go in my Porsche and Edward and Bella can ride in Bella's Beetle," She finished with a wink in my direction.
"PUNCHBUGGY!" Emmett boomed while punching Jasper and Edward.
"Em! You didn't even see Bella's car! You can't shout punchbuggy when you don't even see a bug!" Jasper yelled. Emmett, Rose, Alice and I laughed.
"You think that's funny?" A velvety voice whispered in my ear. I shivered as Edward breathed on my ear. I turned to him and smiled mischievously.
"Yes," I shrugged, and I was suddenly attacked with a pair of hands tickling my sides. Edward was laughing as I laughed and gasped for air.
"Stop!" I gasped. Edward shook his head and continued his assault. I started to flail my legs at him, trying to hit him, hard. I eventually hit him in his right shin and he collapsed on top of me. I laughed and so did he, breathlessly. We eventually calmed down, but Edward made no move to get off of me. I started to blush as I realized that the room was silent.
"Um... Edward?" I gestured to him.
"Oh!" He exclaimed and grabbed my hand as he stood up, pulling me to my feet. I looked at everyone and blushed even more. They were all staring at us, mouths hanging open, eyes wide. I cleared my throat but they kept staring!
"Let's go," I muttered to Edward as I dragged him to the garage. We were still holding hands as we entered the garage. I looked at our entwined hands and reluctantly let go. We got into my dark blue Beetle and I turned on the radio. Edward looked slightly frustrated as I started the engine.
"What?" I asked him.
"I don't mean to be rude, but I would prefer if I could drive," he sighed.
"That's not that rude..." I teased, he rolled his eyes, "but if you haven't noticed, this is a Beetle, I don't think this is the sort of car you would like to drive. Also, are you questioning my abilities to drive?" I teased further.
"No! No, it's just I think it's the gentlemanly thing to do." He explained. I aw'd and patted the top of his head. His hair was so soft! Edward caught my wrist as I was pulling my hand away. I gave him a puzzled look, but he just smiled that crooked smile and kissed my hand and released my wrist. I blushed and pulled out of the garage.
We didn't talk while I was driving, but it was a comfortable silence. We arrived in Port Angeles and headed towards La Bella Italia where we would be eating.
We were the last ones to arrive since my Beetle is slower than the other cars. Edward – being the gentlemen he is – opened my door for me as I climbed out the car. I murmured a 'thank you' and he bowed and winked at me. I blushed – no surprise there! - and chuckled nervously. I kept staring at him pointedly because he wouldn't move from his bowed position. He sighed and pointed to his gorgeous bronze hair. What? What does he...Oh! I mentally slapped myself. I patted his head and giggled, shaking my head. He gave me that damned crooked smile and I felt weak at the knees. I blushed – insert eye roll 'here' – and swiftly made my way over to a smug Alice and Rosalie.
"'Nothings going on' yeah right." Rosalie snorted, followed by Alice's giggles. I didn't really have the patience to deal with them, so I gave them the finger and walked off towards the restaurant, leaving my two shocked sisters behind.
I waited patiently at the entrance for the rest of the gang, and frankly, I got extremely frustrated. They wouldn't MOVE! God! Haven't they seen someone give the finger before? The five of them, stood there, looks of disbelief mixed with amusement on their faces. I huffed, crossed my arms over my chest, jutted one hip out to the side and tapped my foot impatiently. I was hungry...
"For the sake of my stomach, can we please get something to eat! I'm not waiting here for you until I finally starve you know, and I am certainly not going into that restaurant alone. So, I would suggest that, if you don't want to go to McDonalds, that you get your butts in this restaurant!" I growled at them; stamping my left foot. They started to laugh. I didn't find it funny. I stalked off hissing a 'fine! Have it your way' and heading in the general direction of McDonalds, but was stopped by a familiar strong hand on my arm. I turned to find Edward, looking at me with amusement, but his eyes were scared. Why...?
"Where are you going?" He asked. I glared, pointed in the direction of where I was going and sighed – feigning exasperation.
"That way; to McDonalds." I said like a five year old. He chuckled and started to pull me back towards La Bella Italia.
"Silly Bella," He smirked. I rolled my eyes. We reached the rest of the group, but Alice and Rose pulled me aside.
"What?" I asked, annoyed. I just wanted to some food!
"What was up with that little tantrum?" They asked simultaneously. I gave them a 'you seriously don't know?' look.
"Remember what happens when I get hungry?" They suddenly realized what I was talking about. Rosalie smacked her forehead and Alice's mouth shaped into an 'o'. You see, when I'm hungry, I get quite grumpy and tend to throw tantrums if I don't get fed soon enough. Childish.
We walked back to the boys and headed inside.
Dinner passed uneventfully. Everyone laughed at my eagerness to eat and I had a competition with Emmett, to see who could finish there dinner first. I won. Everyone was surprised, well I couldn't blame them, I was surprised myself. Emmett sulked for awhile, but Rose made him perk up by whispering some things into his ear. Edward would watch me, sometimes and when I caught him he would smile crookedly, then look away. Hmm...
We left the restaurant and headed to the movies. Unfortunately, everybody agreed on a new horror movie. Oh no... this could not end well...
