Chp 14
Bella's pov
Ugh. I woke up with a groan. Hmmm, how did I get into my bed? I don't remember going to bed. I looked over and saw my cell phone on my nightstand, holding down a note.
Call me; I added my and Alice's numbers. Love, Rose
I smiled to myself, thinking about the mini-reunion I had had with Rosalie the previous night. The smile faded as I thought of the interruption, courtesy of my so-called boyfriend. I use that term loosely. He's really more of a rebound guy slash friend with benefits. I remembered when I first met him. I had been hurting so much from Edward's betrayal. Jamie....well Jamie was the opposite of Edward in so many ways. Because of him, I've developed a stronger sense of self-confidence (hello, who would've ever thought that shy Bella Swan would get a rush from performing onstage....in front of people even!) and who I am as a person, as well as what I want---what I deserve in a relationship. I know it's not gonna happen with Jamie. I mean rocking out and partying with him is fun and all....but that's all it is. And Edward....oh....jeez....where do I begin.....ugh.....I need a girls day. Hmmmm, wonder what Rose and Alice are doing. I reached over and grabber my phone.
Rosalie's pov
I couldn't stop smiling. First, I had made peace with Bella; then I found out that Edward finally threw out the Trash. I only wish I could've seen it myself. Oh well, she'll probably come back, thinking that Eddie-poo (gag me....Tanya is a true insult to blondes everywhere) still wants her and I'll get to see a repeat. Just then Alice started bouncing around giddily. I was about to ask her what was up, but my phone started ringing. The chorus from Independent Woman by Destiny's Child played. I grinned at the sound of the ringtone I picked for Bella and understood Alice's glee.
" Hey hot stuff, what's up?" I asked
Bella giggled., " not much gorgeous....just needing some girly time with a couple of fabulous vamp chicks....a lil spa time....retail therapy....maybe hit up a club tonight and drive some boys crazy....know anyone who would be interested?"
I laughed and replied, " I think I can find someone....suitable, hang on a sec, okay?"
" Okay" she giggled. I turned to Alice who nodded happily.
" Wait," she asked, " what's retail therapy?" Thru the phone I heard a slight gasp followed by a thud.
"Bella!" I cried worriedly, " are you okay?" I heard her pick herself up.
"Yeah I'm cool...I was just surprised....I mean I thought that Alice, of all people, would know that retail therapy would entail shopping!" At the sound of the S- word, Alice let out an ear peircing squeal of delight.
" I take it, she accepts the invite?" Bella asked innocently.
" I think so, " I responded, " We'll be on our way soon"
"Don't want to share me just yet?" she asked slyly. I grinned as Jasper bounced in, followed by Edward and Emmett, who had a video camera.
"Share who?" Edward asked. Bella must have heard him because she yelled, "Rosie and Allie don't wanna share some Bella-licious!" At the sound of her voice, they all started clamoring for the phone, especially Emmett. Bella heard the ruckus and giggled, "I'm hearing some serious chaos over there...Rosie, be a doll and call me when things have settled."
"Will do," I promised. We both hung up and I turned to my family with an innocent smile.
"What's up?" I asked, feigning innocence. Emmett exploded. "What's up?!.....What's up?!!?....My baby sis finally calls after 3 years...doesn't say hi to me and all you can say is....what's up?...Rosie!" I shrugged. "She didn't ask for you, honey...She said she needed some girly time with a couple of hot vamp chicks and wanted to know if I knew anyone". Emmett pouted, " I'm hot...I'd want to spend time with her."
"Yes, you are...but it's girly time," I soothed my big baby, who continued to pout. Edward spoke next, "Well I guess we know why Jasper started bouncing around like Alice...He must be experiencing excitement-overload" I nodded in agreement. " Did he get even more excited at one point?" Edward nodded and asked, " yeah....what happened?"
"Bella suggested a shopping trip," I explained. A look of understanding washed over his face. By that time Jasper had calmed down enough to speak.
" What was that nickname she referred to herself as?" he wondered. I smirked and replied proudly, "Bella-licious....suits her...don't ya think?" Edward replied, " yeah but is it really safe for her to have a nickname like that if she's going to start hanging out with vampires again?" Alice snorted.
"Maybe around you, but Rosalie and I would never hurt her....Come on Rose, we can call her from my sanctuary; no one will bother us there." She was right. Alice's sanctuary—otherwise known as her closet—was easily the size of a small apartment. With that, we flounced off to call the girl we hoped would become our sister again.
AN: I wasn't expecting to update, but this just flowed out so....yeah...hope you liked... I'll get in a Tanya pov soon....her character makes me wanna punch puppies, so I'll be keeping her pov's as short as possible, until she's written out....Bella Voultouri is being updated next, then I will work on (finally) updating Bella's dark side.
