Chapter 11

After everyone come out of the theater, we started talking about what we were going to do next and about the movie. I stayed out of that conversation being that I left in the middle of it to get away from Jessica and Edward, of course, mainly Skanksica. While they were busy chit chatting, I was trying to use my Jedi mind powers to make something, anything, fall on top of Jessica's head. Although, even if that happened, damage would most likely not be done since that hair of hers acted as a helmet. Maybe I should recommend her to the football coach. They could really use that to their advantage.

She was hanging on Edwards every word like it was the word of God, which it was far from. His words were probably more along the lines of a Sex God going off the things he could do to my body with just his lips. I was however pleased that Jessica didn't know that from firsthand experience according to what Edward told me in the theater. He said it hadn't gone that far, thank god for that! Who knows where she has been. Being the village bicycle, she looks like she got took for a ride TWICE around the bush.

Jessica hasn't talked to me since our last encounter in trig, which I'm not complaining, but that didn't stop her from shooting me evil glances as we all stood there in the lobby. Especially when she would playfully smack Edwards arm and giggle right before saying, "Ohhh Edward, you are just too funny! Tee he he"…..Let me go throw up now.

I couldn't help but mentally laugh when Edward looked around confused asking, "What the fuck did I just say that was funny? Anyone want to fill me in?"

Nutso Jessica rolled with it though, "Ha ha ha….You don't even know when you are being hilarious! I swear you are just so cute! I'm glad you're all mine to gobble up!"

That was it; I couldn't contain my laughter anymore. Everyone turned to me and gave me that "Do you sit in the corner and eat your hair", crazy look.

I cleared my throat, "Ahem…….Sorry. I just umm, saw something totally funny! You guys didn't see it? No? Well you all missed out, let me tell ya! You know that saying, you snooze you lose? Well yeah buddy, that's what that, was!" Fuck that was too much!! If I got the eating hair crazy look a minute ago, the next look definitely had to be, "We NEED to put this chick in the crazy house STAT!"

Alice looked at me with that one eyebrow rose, damn she was really working that thing hardcore every chance she got. "Yeah too bad we missed it Bella."

As everyone went on with the conversation, Alice mouthed "What's wrong with you?"

I gave a slight head nod toward Jessica, which caused Alice to mouth "What" again. I nodded a little more forcefully in the direction again.

Alice shook her head and asked again letting me know she did not understand. I finally got frustrated and stomped my foot yelling "HER!"

Once again, the conversation was interrupted and they were staring at me expecting an explanation from my outburst.

"Oh, the girl I was laughing at just passed by again. You guys keep missing it." I shrugged.

I looked to Alice who was just shaking in silent laughter. Ooooo…..That evil fucking pixie! She was doing it on purpose to make me look crazier! I shook my head, pointed at her, then ran my index finger across my neck letting her now she was dead, followed by me mouthing, "I'm gonna get you back."

"Soooo, what's the word? What are we going to do now?" I asked trying to get the group to think of something other than my madness.

"Well, we can go eat now. I'm starving!"

"I'm not surprised Emmett. You only ate, what, 10 pancakes this morning?" I said while laughing.

"No it was 9 and a half! Get it right Bella Head!'

"Well now, that makes a big difference!"

"What can I say, I'm a growing boy. I need to eat every chance I get, no matter the time."

"Jeez….Lucky Rose." I replied.

Jasper decided to join in the conversation, "Mind out of the gutter Bella! Sheesh, do you like live there 24/7?"

"I sure do! I have a paid for penthouse in the sky at Gutterville Inn. And really? I can't believe this is coming from the basement resident!"

"Yeah well what can I say? It's nice and cozy down there. It's a bit wet just like I like it." He nodded.

"Alright, you guys are just being down right vulgar now." Edward said with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Sorry Prudy Judy. We'll stop just for you." I said while rolling my eyes.

"Whatever, I'm not a prude. I'm just hungry…..I get grouchy we I need to eat."

Jessica ran her hands down Edwards's chest. "I can help you with that Eddie."

Edward pulled her hand away from his chest which made me do a silly dance on the inside. Even head Bella tripped while dancing. I was hopeless.

"I mean for actual food Jessica." Jessica looked at him like he just booted her dog into a lake, or shall I say booted he kitty?

"Ok, so let's go eat at the Chinese restaurant I saw down the street. I'm in the mood for sucking some noodles. Maybe I'll even have a side of crab balls." I winked.

We all were laughing, except for Edward who replied with a groan making us laugh harder, "Gutter! I swear you all own that damn place."

Jessica and Lauren were just standing off to the side and staring off into space, not getting any of our jokes obviously.

"Like seriously? What's so funny about noodles? They're not even funny looking of funny tasting. It's just stupid to be laughing about something so ridiculous as that." Jessica sneered.

"Well space cadet, consider it an inside joke between US. We don't need you to get it or try and hurt your brain by thinking about it too hard." I wanted her to feel like she was the outsider freak, not us. We're normal damn it!!

"Anyways," Jessica flipped her hair getting some of her fingers stuck in the stiffness. She struggled a bit to get them loosened from the hair sprayed mess. "I can't go with you guys. I have other stuff I need to do."

"What like wash your hair?"

"No, I washed it yesterday. Duh…it was Friday." She rolled her eyes.

"Oh sorry, I was under the impression that you're supposed to wash your hair every day, silly me."

Jessica didn't say another word to me. Instead she turned toward Edward, "I can tell you really wanted me to go with you, but maybe another time sweetie."

"Uhh…Yeah sure." Edward replied.

Then it happened. It was something that I could have done without seeing in my life time. Jessica grabbed the sides of Edwards face and pulled him down into a kiss. I just couldn't deal with that.

"I gotta go to the restroom." I didn't even wait for anybody's response. I just bolted to the theater restroom. As soon as I got in there, I locked myself in the stall kicking the door closed. It wasn't the doors fault, but damn it, it was there!! I stood in the stall willing myself not to cry like, pardon my fucking language, a weak little bitch even though I wanted to. Yesterday, seeing that wouldn't have mattered, but today was totally different. We both knew how we felt about each other, so witnessing that was tough.

"Bella?"

I opened the stall door to find Alice standing right in front of me.

"Are you regretting your decision now?" She asked.

"Decision….What are you talking about?" I didn't tell her anything about what Edward and what I had decided; did he tell her?

"Oh come on Bella, I might be small, but that doesn't mean my brain is just as tiny. I figured something was up last night when I first saw hat hickey you've been sporting. I was Edward right?"

"Yeah you're right. We kind of shared our feeling about each other this morning, and to answer your question, yes I regret my stupid decision." I sighed.

"Which was what exactly? Work with me Bella, help me help you!"

"I told him that I wanted to wait before I jumped head first into a relationship with him because of some issues in my past. He said that he would wait for me and give me time. We also agreed to leave it open to casually date other people during this time. That was my fantastic idea."

"Well being that Edward said he wanted a serious relationship with you, and he was willing to wait for it says a whole lot! I mean this is Edward we are talking about here. Mr. I don't date! This is a big step for him. I don't see him taking a step back and continuing dating that disaster known as Jessica though. He has to be working another angle."

"I know right! That's what I said! He practically ditched Jessica last night, but then today he invites her to sit with us during the movie. That just doesn't make sense to me." I threw my arms up.

"By George I think I got it!" Alice yelled with one finger in the air, "He's trying to make you jealous! Maybe he's trying to rush your thinking time!"

"No way, he wouldn't do that." I started to think more about Edwards's mentality, "Shit! He's trying to make me jealous!"

"Is it working?"

"Hell mother fucking yes its working! That's a low move on his part!"

"Why are we yelling?!?"

"I don't know!"

"How about we stop!"

"Ok." I said in my indoor voice.

"So, as I was about to say or yell…..two can play that game Bella." Alice shrugged.

"You know what? You're absolutely right. First I wasn't so sure that I was going to do the whole dating thing, but now…..Oh things have definitely changed. I'll just kill two birds with one stone. Bird one- dating and Bird two-make Edward jealous. Perfect!!"

"Ok great! Now that that's settled, can we please get out of this restroom and go eat?"

Alice and I both walked out of the restroom laughing. As we walked back to the group I noticed that Jessica and Lauren were already gone. We finally got out of the theater lobby before we were kicked out and started walking to the restaurant. We didn't find the need to take the Jeep to get to the place. It was only a few block away. No need to put my limbs through crammed torture when our legs worked just fine to get us where we needed to go.

There was silence between Edward and I till he finally decided to speak, "You alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine." I gave him a small smile although I was pretty sure he could see right through that.

"I didn't kiss her back. She kissed me and took me by surprise. If you would have stayed, you would have seen that I broke that shit up as fast as it happened."

"I'm not going to lie, it was hard to see, but I know that comes with the whole dating other people thing."

"It does?" He had a mixed look of confusion and anger. Perfect, I got him just where I wanted him.

"Well yeah of course. What else is there to do, and handshake or an awkward side hug? I mean what happens at the end of a date? The guy or girl goes in for a kiss. It's inevitable, as we just witnessed with Jessica." I needed him to keep in mind that it was possible for me to do it when I started dating. I could practically see smoke coming out of his ears as he kept his hands balled up into tight fist and kept his eyes straight ahead.

"I guess I can see how that can happen." He scowled. Silence again.

"So change of subject!! What was up with your prude tendencies back there at the theater? I figured you would be all on conversations like that, considering you were this morning."

"Nothing was up. I was just….hungry." He looked at me from the corner of his eye. "Besides, being that Jasper is dating my sister and Emmett is dating Rose, don't you think they should keep comments like that to themselves?"

"Ummm…well being that we are all friends and I compare NOTHING to their girlfriends, no I don't think I mind them talking like that. Wait! Hold the train! You're jealous aren't you?!?" I laughed. "Wow, interesting."

"I'm not jealous, I'm just. Oh fuck it, just never mind."

"No way! You have to tell me now."

"Fine, when you're as………worked up as me, you and your dirty mind don't mix so well. It took all I had not to grab you and take you somewhere private, hell; I would have done it in public if it came down to it. So….unless you are willing to help me out in that situation, I'd suggest you be careful of the things you say around me." He laughed.

I laughed along with him, "I'll pass on that for now. Until then, I'll just TRY to limit my dirty-mindness. I'm gonna tell you now, it won't be without difficulty." Yeah right, I would work that shit to my advantage every chance I got.

We finally got to the restaurant, quicker than I would have liked if I was being honest. It meant that my talking with Edward was over. We sat down and did the whole typical eating, talking, and joking bit while the people around us looked like they wanted to gag each of us with an eggroll. If they didn't like it, maybe they should have turned their hearing aids down. Once we were done, we started our walk back toward the jeep.

"I'm so full, I can't walk anymore." I whined.

"Seriously Bella? It's only 2 blocks away." Edward said.

"That's too far….I'll just sit here and you guys can pick me up. I just hope I don't get mistaken for a prostitute."

"No, I'm not gonna leave you here to sit on the curb." Edward kneeled down in front of me. "Hope on you big baby."

I smiled and jumped on his back.

"Giddy up cowboy!"

"I'm not gonna prance around like a horse, so you can just get that thought right out of your head."

"Ahhhh…Booo! You're no fun."

"Really, you think that?" I felt Edward letting me slip as if to put me back on the ground.

I locked my legs around his waist and held on tight to his neck. Don't worry; it was enough to let him breathe…..a little. "No, no, no I take it back! Just don't put me down!" I laughed.

"That's what I thought Swan."

We finally got the Jeep and headed back to Forks. I was pretty tired, so I decided to lean my head back and try to catch some sleep. At some point I woke up to find myself snuggled into Edward's side with his arm wrapped tightly around me as his head was lying on top of mine. I sure wasn't complaining about space now. I sat there for a bit listening to the soft sounds of his breathing like some weirdo stalker.

I had to think about a way to get Edward back for making me jealous, and I wasn't sure how I was going to accomplish that yet, but I'll hold off on that thinking till tomorrow. Today, all I wanted to do was enjoy the feeling of sleeping in Edward's arms as I closed my eyes and drifted back to sleep.

AN- Ok……I hope that was a likeable chapter. If not, ummm…..well…..Sorry?
