Woo! Chapter Two! Finaly!
I want to send a BIG shout out to my new beta reader izzy (dot) bella 322!!! She is amazing and this would have taken MUCH longer to get out without her!
DISCLAMER: nope, sorry. I still don't own Twilight.
"How did you do it?" Alice said, slightly dumbfounded.
"I just talked to him…" I said, feeling the blush rising to my cheeks.
"CoughflirtedCough." Rosalie said, causing the blush to get darker.
"Well since you set us up-" Alice started to say.
"With three guys that we don't know!" Rosalie interrupted.
"We have to look entirely out of this world." Alice said with a smirk.
I gulped, Alice only gets that kind of look when she is about to have a long round of Dress-Up-Bella. She was already getting her curling iron and makeup bag and everything else set up in the bathroom.
"Alice…" I said slowly, in a warning tone as I started to back away. But Rosalie stopped me and pulled me in the bathroom.
"Bella we can do this the easy way or the hard way, now sit down." Alice said, pointing at one of the chairs in front of the mirrors.
"Fine. But I'm bringing my iPod." I said as I reluctantly sat down.
While she pinned and curled my hair, Jimmy Eat World ran through my head. A Praise Chorus was what was playing when she finished. The last line kept running through my head, giving me inspiration and courage.
I want to always feel like part of this was mine
I want to fall in love tonight; I want to fall in love tonight
I want to fall in love tonight.
I looked in the mirror at myself, and I couldn't believe that Alice had done all this in the short time she had been working on me. My eyes were a smoldering blue, that made my brown eyes pop, and I had a light bronze blush on and it all looked incredible.
I went to put on my dress, which was still laying on the bed, and when I went back Alice and Rosalie were both finished with their professional looking makeup. Alice was finished with spiking her hair and was working on Rosalie's hair, which she was curling and making it gently curl down her back.
"What shoes am I wearing?" I asked Alice.
"I set three sets of heels by the bed, yours are the ones with the five straps that go over the toes and are connected in the middle, and two straps that wound half way up the ankle. They also have the smallest heels"
" The blue ones" She added at my dumbfound expression.
I went to look and I almost had a heart attack. Sure they were the shortest of the three, Rosalie's made me dizzy just looking at them, but they were still taller than I would have liked.
They were lacy and fit perfectly. At least I can walk in them, I thought.
After we put on our shoes and Alice handed Rosalie a beautiful necklace that fell right above the top of the dress, we were ready to go.
"Wait, do we sit in the open and let them come to us or look for them?" I asked.
"We sit in the middle and wait for them to come to us." Alice said confidently. And with that we headed down to the dining room, I only tripped once, and Rosalie saved me from doing a face plant. Kate was waiting for us at the door.
"There you are! I have a table for you right here." She said as she lead us to a small table in the very middle of the room, there were two flours and the second one was open in the middle and you could see down to the first and it was a perfect view of us.
We ordered our food and sat talking. After awhile I saw three guys coming towards our table, and they were exactly how Edward described them.
"Guys… I think they're coming." I whispered. I sat straighter in my seat and took a drink of my strawberry daiquiri, counting down from three in my head.
As I got to one they were at our table, and I smiled at them. Only one of them caught my eye, don't get me wrong the other two looked like models too, but he was beautiful. He had messy bronze hair and bright emerald eyes. He wore a dark blue - darker than my dress - dress shirt, and black slacks. I was silently praying that he was the one I talked to, Edward.
"Hi I'm Bella... Or Klutz." I said, holding my breath and his gaze.
"Hey I'm Edward." He said, with the most breath-taking crooked smile on his face.
"I'm Rosalie." Rosalie said, she was looking directly at the weight lifter - Emmett.
"Emmett." He said.
"Alice." She said. She only had eyes for the honey blond though.
"Jasper." He said with a slight Texan accent.
"Do you ladies mind if we join you?" Emmett asked smoothly.
"Not at all." I replied with a smile.
Edward sat next to me, Jasper sat between me and Alice, and Emmett sat between Alice and Rosalie.
"Took you long enough to find us." Alice playfully teased.
"Emmett's an idiot and Edward barley described ya'll. We didn't have much to work with." Jasper said.
"Hey!" Emmett said.
"Hey! I told you everything Bella told me Jasper!" Edward said.
They teased each other so lightly, almost carelessly, that it just makes you start giggling. Plus, the look on Emmett's face when jasper called him an idiot was priceless.
Just then a waitress appeared and asked if the boys wanted anything to drink, Jasper got a margarita Emmett got a pina colada and Edward got a Mojito, and if they wanted to order.
Edward looked at me after he ordered his drink and saw my questioning look.
"What?" he asked.
"What did you order?" I asked.
"A Mojito?" he said.
"And that is…?" I said.
He got that crooked grin on his face again, "You'll just have to wait and see, wont you?" he said.
After the waitress left the conversation picked up again.
"Where are you all from?" Edward asked.
"Were all from a little town in Washington." Rosalie said.
"Really? That's cool. Were from Phoenix Arizona." Emmett said.
"That's where my mom lives." I said suddenly and randomly, but Edward seemed interested.
The waitress arrived again with our refills and the guys drinks. Edward's was in a tall glass with an icy clear liquid in it, with a lime slice in it and some mint leaves mixed in the drink.
He handed it to me, "Go on, taste it." He urged.
I took a sip and was surprised, it was sweet, with a hint of citrus and mint, but as I swallowed it I tasted the kick of the rum and gasped. He laughed.
"That got me the first time too." He said.
"Wow." I said, still in shock from the sudden taste in the drink. I reached out and took a big gulp of my drink, trying to get rid of the intense taste of rum on my tongue.
"Thirsty?" Rosalie asked, while raising an eyebrow.
"That drink is wicked." I said pointing at the drink that was currently in Edwards hand and he was taking a drink.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Ummmm…" I said biting my lip. I couldn't remember.
"It's a Mojito. It's got strong rum in it." Edward said.
"Really? I'll have to get that sometime…" she said.
When the waitress brought us our food the guys ate some of ours too. There was enough that we all ate till we were full, and the conversation never ceased. We talked about everything and nothing at the same time. I learned so much about them. They had always lived in the same house. There mom was an architect who loved to design houses, and personally designed there's. There dad was a doctor. Then we started to talk about our jobs, and I learned that Emmett was a body builder, big shocker there, Jasper was studding to be a history professor, and Edward was a musician. They learned that Rosalie is an aspiring model, trying to be discovered, Alice is a personal shopper for some of the best, and then Edward asked what I do.
"I work a day job at starbucks, but I want to be an author. I have already started to write my book." I said with a smile. I have always loved to read, and one day my dad said I should put all that knowledge to use and write a book.
Edward was fascinated, and kept asking about it. What genre is it, what is the plot, who are the main characters, on and on and on.
Finally I started asking about his job. I learned that he is writing a symphony, and he writes music a lot. He said he visits the music room often too, because they have a piano and he plays routinely.
Finally we discovered a common ground. The music that we listen to. We love classical, but then we got into a debate between Jimmy Eat World and The Spill Canvas. I like Jimmy Eat World, and he likes The Spill Canvas. Finally, we decided to go to the music room one day and listen to the other band.
Then it was time to go. They walked us to our room, and while we were saying goodbye Edward said, "What are you three doing tomorrow? Maybe we could meet at the pool or something."
"The pool sounds great. Do you want to meet at one thirty at the indoor pool?" Alice asked.
"That sounds perfect. See you ladies tomorrow." Jasper said.
When we got in our room, Alice decided we needed to celebrate meeting such great guys so we called room service and ordered a picture of margaritas, picked a movie and wasted away the night in Margareta Ville.
My mind wasn't there fully though. Half of it was thinking about Edward and how exited I was to meet him the next day.
