Chapter 4 - Plans & the Apartment
The three of us walked up one flight of stairs and stopped on the landing looking at the cars and the trees surrounding the apartment complex. The sun was just starting to set.
"Okay so this isn't the best complex we found but it is absolutely stunning at night. The sun always falls to sleep right behind those trees there. The five of us use to have like barbecues and we'd dance under the moon and ohhhhh! I know! We should have a welcome Bella to the apartment party." It was as if a mouse could speak it would have spoken the last part. you could tell the idea of the a party was this girl's fantasy.
Edward leaned down to whisper in my ear, "Run Bella. Run away like your ass is on fire while you still can." I couldn't control the laugh that erupted from my chest. Can she really be that bad? As if he could figure out what my brain was wondering Edward simply replied. 'Yes she can."
Alice must have caught on to what he had because she looked at him with fury behind her eyes. For the first time I noticed she had the beautiful eyes her brother has. Must be a family thing. I bet both their parents are gorgeous.
"Watch it Edward. I know where you sleep."
"Ohhh an threat from a faerie. I'm real scared now."
She huffed loudly and kept walking up the stairs muttering under her breath. I followed behind her not wanting to see the wrath of a tiny faerie. My wandered to Tinkerbell the faerie and what she would be like if she was always mad. I shuddered at the thought realizing it could a whole lot of havoc. Alice abruptly stopped in front of one of the doors. "This is our apartment Bella. I hope you weren't expecting to much."
She opened the cream colored door and walked in. The walls were decorated with gorgeous pictures of sunsets and sunrises and candles were scattered around the room. There were a few couches with cushions thrown around a huge television set. Under the tv a couple of game systems sat but I was extremely excited when I saw my favorite gaming system ever. I squeaked with delight when I saw the Wii. "Oh my god I love Wii Fit! You guys have it right?"
"Of course Bella. Alice loves the jogging which I don't understand why because you don't even have to move really to Wii jog but whatever her choice."
I rolled my eyes and sat on the couch staring at the television. "The jogging game? Really? The yoga is much better. It's fun getting my body all yogafied."
'Yogafied? Really? Is that a Bella copyrighted word I should?"
"Yes and yes, I guess! Until you both can fit both your legs behind your head and feel at peace I don't want to hear it from you! I just happen to think it's one of the most perfect poses in the world."
Edward turned a dark shade of red. He doesn't think of me in a sexual way. He's my teacher and my room mate. I wonder why me working out makes him that shade. Seriosuly. Maybe he doesn't like to think of his students in that way. Those poor little bunnies that are in philosophy. Poor poor bunnies.
The three of the sat on the couch for a couple of minutes. I guess Alice realized I hadn't gotten the full tour of the apartment yet. "Get off your butts you two. We have to let you see your new room and move your stuff in. I bet your clothes are all wrinkled now. good thing I have two irons."
We walked down the hallway and she pointed out her room, the kitchen, and then Edward's room. It was all so fast i didn't really get to see their personalities in their room. I guess the tour was just so I wouldn't get lost. She pointed out that she had her own bathroom and Edward and I would have to share one. Right next the last door in the hallway we all stopped. "And this Miss Bella is your room. I hope you like it."
She opened the door and the first thing I noticed was the floor was littered with clothes. It wasn't like my room back home once upon a time which had a few shirts scattered about. When I say the floor was littered it was covered with everything from shoes to purses to belts. "Sorry about that Bella. I had been using this as a spare accessory closet since Rosalie moved in with Emmett."
I chuckled secretly hoping she would let me wear a pair of the shoes next to the desk. The were a black pair of Jimmy Choos and I knew even though I had nothing to wear them with I wanted them. "I only have one suitcase with clothes in it Alice. I won't even use half the closest. I promise you can use the rest of the space."
"Really? Cause I'll only need one or two drawers. And maybe a little closet space."
I looked at Edward and he must have realized what I was thinking He gave me a don't you dare do it or you'll regret it look but it didn't stop me. I laughed thinking she can't really be that bad and I need to get some fresh air. "Hey Alice I was wondering if we could go shopping. I just realized I have nothing for fun in Florida. Jeans are only so comfortable in 105 degree weather. And I think I forgot to pack my yoga drawer. I was in a hurry when I packed. And if we do have a welcome Bella party I need a dress."
"Oh my god Bella I love you! I thought you'd never ask. Come on I have to show you a few of my favorite stores!" It was all a blur of meshed words but I was able to understand it somehow. I could have sworn she was out of the room before she had ever said yes. Edward chuckled softly I guess trying to make sure hse didn't hear it.
"You know you going to regret that right?"
"Yeah probably but it made her happy and got her mind off kicking your ass."
"Silly Bella you have no idea what monster you just launched onto the town center. I promise your closest will at least doube by the end of the night."
I thought for a second as I heard her searching for her keys. "It can't be that bad can it?"
He rolled his eyes as he grabbed my hand. "You have no idea. I guess I'll have to come along and help be a reason to bail. if it gets to bad. Just don't expect me to go into Victoria's Secrets after you. That store is far to creepy."
I stuck my tongue out. "You can't abandon who you are trying to protect you know. I might need saving. Knowing me I'll fall or get trapped in a dressing room or something."
His lips pulled back and he showed the smile I really was growing to love. It was slightly mischievous but perfect. "From the little I know you Bella, you are the type of girl I would stop the world to save. "
