Chapter 19
Edward POV
After I dropped Bella off, or more like I was in the car when she dropped herself off. I pulled out of her driveway and headed in the direction of my house slowly. Fuck, in a minute I would have to see Alice and Rose and I want to prolong that encounter for as long as I possibly could.
With one hand on the wheel, I took out my cell phone and called up Emmett.
"Yo bro, what's happen'?" Em boomed.
"I am not going back to that house only to get ambushed by those girls." I stated.
"So what are you getting at? Wanna go somewhere?"
"Anywhere but there."
"Well I'll grab Jazz and we can hit up a bar, I need a drink."
"I'm outside; get your asses over here." I flipped the phone shut and shoved it in my pocket. I turned onto the driveway and made a U turn at the end.
Moments later, the front door flew open and Jazz and Em ran full out. They pushed and shoved each other as they tried to get to the passenger side door. Emmett eventually won having the size advantage, leaving Jazz on his ass next to the door. Emmett threw himself in and slammed the door, pressing down the lock. Jasper stood up, wiping the dirt off his ass and gave Emmett the finger.
Unwillingly, Jasper got in the back. He sat low in the seat and crossed his arms, pouting like a fucking 4 year old. I couldn't help but laugh as we headed over to Port Angeles. According to Emmett, the new sensation was club "Body Shot." Apparently every hour the DJ picks two random girls in the crowd that look decent and they lay them down on the bar. Two bar tenders have to give body shots.
The streets were crowded with people getting out and enjoying the rare weather we were experiencing. The sky was bright with not a hint of clouds to block out the intense rays of the sun; it felt like a real summer's day.
Couples held hands as the walked down the streets in shorts and tanks. Of course Em was checking out the whores who were walked up the streets with the skimpiest outfits on. Warm weather for them meant they take as much clothes off as possible, just enough so they don't get fined for indecent exposure.
We pulled up to the bar which was unexpectedly crowded for early afternoon. I parked in the VIP section and we skipped the line walking right up to the bouncer. Jazz showed his Skelton card out and we held out our fake ID's complements to Jasper's dad who had gotten them for us. He owned pretty much every club that went up in our area and all along the coast.
The bouncer lifted up the red velvet barrier and we stepped in, ignoring the penetrating glares of the people on the long line outside.
We were immediately hit with the booming music and people having fun. The dance floor was huge with squares that changed colors along with the beat. Directly behind it, through the crowd, I could just make out the DJ stand. Flanking the floor was an expensive looking sound system, blaring out a fast techno beat through the big speakers. We went straight for the bar, getting the attention of the occupied bartender and getting him to serve us a round of shots. The place was alive with loud fast beat music blaring through the speakers. Strobe lights flashed threw the dance floor illuminating peoples faces as the grinded up against others.
"To our girls, especially Eddie boy who isn't a man whore any more." Em toasted holding his drink us and quickly downing it. I shot him a glare at the nick name but mostly for what he was calling me and brought my drink to my lips, tipping it back. The bitter liquid burned on the way down.
"Well, if it isn't Eddie." An all too familiar voice that sent unpleasant shivers down my spine purred.
"I love how you react to my voice." An arm wrapped around my waist from behind. I froze, my first instinct that came to mind was to whip my arm around and slap the ever loving shit out of Jessica for putting her disgusting grimy hands on me. My blood boiled and I tried extremely hard to keep my cool.
I grabbed her hand in mine tightly and all but dislocated her arm when I whipped her hand off me. I turned quickly in my seat and was immediately alert to the close proximity of her face. I leaned back instinctively.
"Don't touch me." I told her as calmly as I could, annunciating each word. I wasn't exactly sure how much even got through to her brain. I dropped her hand from mine, resisting the urge to spit on her make up caked face. She didn't even seem bothered by my tone. Jessica brought her hands forward and grabbed my shirt, she leaned in close about to kiss me but I turned my head and used one hand to push her face away, while I used my other to rip her arms away from me. I had had enough she needed to know who she was fucking dealing with.
"How about a quickie in the bathroom?" She slurred and all but threw herself at me. I jumped to my feet grabbing her by the shoulders and putting space between us.
Em and Jasper stood a few feet away watching the scene unfold with a few other people that had stopped to see what the commotion was about. Jasper was leaning slightly toward us watching us carefully, probably judging my expression, to see if he needed to jump in between us if I lost it. I knew I could never hit a girl. It was wrong and I despised people who did so. On top of that I would be terrified of Esme if that happened. She might just kill me, if anything she taught us that was important, this would top her list.
Jessica stepped back a little.
"Remember the fucking broken nose my sister gave you a couple days back." I reminded her, acknowledging the slight black and blue visible beneath the layers of makeup.
"Yeah if you bother with me, I'll fucking get her over here to bust a fucking hole in your fake ass plastic face." I told her firmly, hoping that was the best thing I could say. I could have settled for shouting profanities at her or fucking screaming about how she's a goddamn slut. How about how her parents don't know about the surgeries she's gotten? Why money just keeps magically disappearing from their bank account. I kept it simple and I would stand by my word.
"What you can't do anything yourself, you need your whore of troll little fucking sister? Hmm or is this about that girl at the pool? You sleeping with that ugly ass bitch when you could be sleeping with someone nine times better." She trust he finger at her self. "You're too good for that piece of fucking white trash. You will get rid of her fast because she's nobody but… a fucking gold digger! All she probably wants is your fucking money. You want me and you fucking know it. I'm way better then that bitch will ever be!" She yelled. By now a group had surrounded us and I was about to explode. My fists were clenched tightly and were turning white with the force and lack of circulation to my fingers.
"You listen here!" I fucking screamed at her. "No one calls my girl that and fucking stands there still breathing. You have no clue what you're talking about at all. Do you just make things up and think they are the fucking truth when there not? You're so fucking stupid and blind to think your better then my Bella. Your fucking dirt compared to her; a flee on the ass of a dog compared to my beautiful caring angel. Your worthless and will never size up to her. She is everything that is real and you're every bit of fake; you're the definition of fake! I'm not even gonna waste my time with you anymore. Don't ever fucking come near me again or something will happen." I finished my rant just inches in front of her disgusting face with two warning hands on my shoulders. I heard some faint clapping in the background and someone even patted me on the back saying they wish they had the balls to say that to the nightmare of woman in their life.
I left Jessica with a stunned and an angry expression on her face as people booed at her and laughed. I pushed through the crowd with Em and Jazz at my sides, both haven't said a word since the toast. I could here the words of people chanting to throw Jessica out as I unhooked the red velvet barrier and let ourselves out.
"Have a good day chief." I said to the bouncer, slipping him some bills. I headed to the car and opened the driver's side door. Jasper took front this time, Em being a nice guy for once and giving him a turn. I revved the engine and sped down the road. With a look in my rear view mirrors I saw a blob of bleach blonde hair get pushed out of the club and onto the street.
"Serves her fucking right." Em said breaking the silence and sticking his head out the window.
"You suck bitch!" He screamed practically shaking the car. I'm pretty positive she heard him, who couldn't hear him?
Jazz and I laughed feeling care free and wild. The windows were rolled down and my hand hanging out in the breeze, the other loosely gripping the steering wheel. Em reached forward and plugged his MP3 player into the iPod docking station.
The intense beat of Street Drum Corpse came blaring through the speakers. We all bobbed our heading in a mocking motion of rockers and sang along every time they screamed "We Are Machines!"
Having said that to Jessica had lifted a load off my shoulder, but I don't even fucking no why. It's not like I'm ashamed of Bella, far from it. I wanna show that baby off and show everyone that she's mine. MINE.
I guess I'm kind of worried what people will thing about how I suddenly changed and became whipped, because lets face it; I undeniably was.
But I'm Edward Fucking Cullen dammit and I don't get worried what other people will say. It was time everyone knew. I'm glad that bitch finally knows; Edward the womanizer is no more.
I reached over and pulled out Em's ipod in the middle of his air guitar solo.
"What the fuck!" Em yelled reaching forward and trying to grab it out of my hand.
"Give me a second." I yelled holding the ipod far out in front of me so I could glance at the road and the ipod at the same time. I scrolled through his song list and pressed play. I proceeded to plug it back in. My song came blaring over the speakers and immedialty I broke into a huge smile.
"I caught fire?" Jazz stared at me questioningly, inquiring about the song choice.
I ignored him and started to sing a long, Bella's face in my head. Her smiling face; bright and glowing.
"Well, it looks like Eddie boy and Bella have a song." Emmett established.
"I swear are you a fucking mid reader?" I asked completely dumfounded as to how in hell he knew that.
"The big goofy smile says it all." He said confirming it knowingly. I simply rolled my eyes.
"Wanna know me and Rose's song?" Em suddenly asked excitedly. "Its, "I Like To Fuck" by Hot Rod and Tila Tequila." He blurted with out even waiting for us to answer.
"Do you really think I wanna fucking hear this?!" Jasper complained shooting Em a dirty look.
"You're just fucking jealous that we actually have songs." Em retorted.
"For your information, we do have a song!" Jasper yelled.
"Well?" I asked with a questioning hand, "What is it?"
"Uhh, "You Have Stolen My Heart" by Dashboard Confessional." He said firm and proudly.
Em and I couldn't hold back our laughs. That song was so goddamn corny it wasn't funny.
"Good song." I tried to say through clenched teeth, a helpless attempt at keeping my laughter down, but I failed miserably.
"Shut up, it's a good song. You guys don't know anything about love if it bit you on the ass. When you're in love like me and Alice are you will be fine with a corny song like that."
"I'm in love okay. I know what it is." Em said. "He doesn't but I do." Em stuck his thumb in my direction.
"I figured it out okay. I may not have known what is was but Bella pulled me through the blindness and showed me just what it was like to be in love. I have no regrets." I told them tightly.
Em and Jazz simply nodded there heads and didn't question me or add any comments about it. We drove in silence.
It was around 11 o'clock when I turned onto the path. The gravel crunched under the tires and caused dust to shift around. When I parked the car I got out and bent down. Mud coated my tires and was caked around the rim and the bottoms of the doors were coated in a thin layer of brown dirt on the silver finish. Now how could I show up for a date with a dirty ass car?
When I walked inside I was immediately hit with a pissed off pixie.
"Ill beat her ass up right now if I could. My size doesn't fucking matter, I could take that bitch down." Alice stood fuming with her arms crossed and her expression livid.
"How dare she call our friend those things, fucking whore should die." Rose chimed in. I hadn't even seen her sitting on the couch next to Emmett's huge frame.
She stood up and walked over to us, standing next to Alice with hands also folded across her chest in anger.
"We will get her back, mark my words."
"Now," Alice started, changing the subject, her mood instantaneously lightening. "You've got a date tonight in which we need to get you ready for."
I sighed running a hand through my chaotic hair, and looked to Jasper quickly, desperately hoping he'd have something up his sleeve that would prolong the torture that surely seemed to be my future.
Jasper in turn looked to Emmett, who winked and nodded.
"Look, mom picked up the new copy of "Vogue." Em said suddenly pointing to the pile of magazines occupying the surface of the coffee table. The magazine which he mentioned was definitely not among those in the pile.
As Alice and Rose's heads whipped in the direction of the table, Em stood up and grabbed me. We made a run up the stairs and into his room quickly; locking the door.
"Well that worked out perfectly." I told them nodding my head in approval of the quickly thought out plan.
"Yeah, I'm just glad he was even able to say the name of the magazine right." Jasper and I laughed as Em pouted and looked away.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1." He counted down and no second later that he got to zero, was there pounding at the door.
"Give over Edward and I won't hurt you." Rosalie screamed from the other side and she tried to twist the doorknob. Em stood up and got close to the door; he leaned his head on it and began talking smoothly.
"Come on Rosey, Eddie just wants sometime before he has to endure you guys."
"Aww, Em; that was a big word." Rose said mockingly causing Emmett's smile to disappear.
"You'll never take him alive!" Em screamed dramatically, closing his eyes, crouching down, and thrusting his finger in the air.
Rose gave a sigh of defeat and pounded her fist once against the door. "Fine, you got 1 hour. By then it will be like 2 or some shit and we will be needing to get you ready." With that, I heard the clicking of her heels as she turned and descended the steps.
"All right!" Jazz said enthusiastically high-fiving us both.
For the hour we were given, all three of us lay back on his couch and watched Jackass. Occasionally Em would flick one of us behind the ear or call us a name that would result in a slap fight, or fist fight in Jasper's occasion. Emmett had whispered something about Rose and having to do with what happens behind closed doors with him, and he flipped. Jazz punched Em square in jaw. Em simply flipped over and pinned Jazz on the ground, laughing hysterically; the blow he had just received not fazing him at all.
"All right, times up." Alice called from behind the door. This time I did as I was told although I was unwilling, I hopped in the shower as commanded. It was quite annoying when Alice explained to me exactly how I was to wash my hair and what body wash I should use to lather up. All I wanted to do was throw that damn pixie out the window!
"We will lay out your clothes while you shower." Alice told me nodding to the clothes folded over Rose's arm.
"I'm not fucking three, I can dress myself. I don't need you to pick out my clothes for me. I don't need your help.
"Honey, you need all the help you can get. Do you want Bella to think you don't give a shit about her and the date? It matters now hurry up and shower." Alice pushed me into my bathroom and shut the door.
I did as Alice said lathering my hair with a clear shampoo and letting that sit as I washed my body. I ached to reach down and grab my swollen shaft, images of Bella's half naked body haunted me; but the words of Alice kept my hands away.
I shook dirty thoughts away and focused on the fact that I didn't even know where the hell I was taking Bella. This was her first date and I needed to make it special; I had to pick the right place.
The perfect place, to me was a small Italian restaurant on the outskirts of La Push. It stood between the trees always glowing with festive lights. Bella Italia it was called seemed to be the perfect place to take my angel.
I rinsed and repeated twice as instructed and turn off the water. I grabbed a towel and ran it over my hair in hopes to somewhat dry it. The cool air hit me as I stepped out of the shower and onto the cold marble floor. I wrapped a towel around my waist and stepped onto the rug in front of the mirror.
I towel dried my hair and patted down my body before opening the door and cautiously stepping into my bedroom. Alice and Rose were no where to be found; the door was shut and just as I was told, there was a pile of clothes folded neatly on the bed. The thing that quickly caught my eye was the price tags that hung from each item. Just like Alice to go shopping for my date.
I let the towel drop to the floor and I pulled on a pair of blue boxers which I had insisted I pick my self. I stepping into the slim but comfortable some what faded blue jeans and slipped the tight dark blue shirt over my head; I turned my head towards the floor length mirror on the back of my door. My hair was in total disarray and my shirt was slightly twisted.
At that moment, Alice and Rose walked into my room, giving me a once over.
"You're so lucky you have us." Rose stated pointedly. The pushed me down into a chair and began to work on my hair.
Usually I would just run my fingers through my hair a few times and hope that it would be decent. Never had I ever given thought to how I looked, I used to just think that girls didn't care how I appeared they just wanted in my pants; I used to be fine with that. But today, I wanted Bella to think I cared enough to look better then decent. So because of the woman I loved I endured the fifteen minuets it took the girls to get my hair looking good.
They combed it down and took there time moving certain pieces a certain way. They added some gel and spiked it before both agreeing they didn't like it. They shook it around and started again. Finally they both approved of a look that they called sex hair. My slightly wet hair glistened and was pointing in every direction. It looked good and I have to admit, kind of sexy. I think Bella would like it.
I sat in room staring out the window as the sun moved lower in the sky until it completely disappeared beyond the horizon; the only remnants were the streaks of pink and yellow glowing around the trees. I flipped through some channels and watched about five minuets of something before changing it again.
Alice and Rose had left about 15 minuets ago so I knew I should be leaving soon. I turned off the TV and grabbed my wallet and car keys from my desk. I found my dad sitting on the couch in the living room, staring through the windows at the sky as I had been before. He turned his head in my direction and stood up.
"I got this for you." He said holding out a box covered in black velvet. I took the box from his outstretched hands and opened the lid. In side, lying on a small cushion was a Rolex. It had a silver band and a platinum dial. It was sleek and modern.
Wow, thanks dad." I said slipping it onto my wrist and admiring it up close.
"Your welcome." He said casually, simply sitting back down on the couch and turning the TV on. "Have fun on your date."
My phone rang in my pocket and I picked it up.
"Hey, were gonna need another hour." Alice said, her voice raspy as if she'd been crying. Immediately got worried and started yelling.
"Where's Bella?! What's wrong?" I shouted causing Carlisle to turn quickly and look at me worriedly.
"No, Bella's fine, it's just that we haven't started yet."
"You don't need to get her all fancied up. I like her the way she is."
"Not gonna happen. I will not be caught dead letting Bella leave the house this way, she's a mess."
"Well what you consider a mess is probably a hair out of place. I really don't care. I wanna see her now." I argued.
"I don't give a fuck if you care or not. Just be here at 10:15." Alice said irritably. I gave a sigh of defeat and ran my hand through my hair exasperatedly. "Fine," I settled, "but I will be there at exactly 10:15 and I will take her no matter how she looks." Alice then hung up.
"What's wrong with Bella?" Carlisle asked.
"Apparently they need another hour to get her ready." I said tightly.
"Girls will be girls. Well, you need your car washed so get on that." He said turning back to the TV, glancing at me as if he wanted to say something.
I had the door open when he looked at me once more.
"Are you and Bella going to…?" He started but I sent him a look saying don't even say it.
"Be safe!" He yelled as I shut the door quickly and made my way out to the car. I shook my head and shuddered at the fact of what my dad was getting at. She wasn't ready for any thing and I knew I needed to respect that, although it had been a long time since I fucked last.
I honestly couldn't picture myself fucking Bella. She deserved better then that even though that's all I know how to do. It will be hard to resist slamming into her tight pussy.
I pulled open the driver side door and slid in, pushing the key in and starting the ignition. I drove down the drive and turned right, the windows rolled down; letting the warm air freshen up the car.
I drove for about a minute or two until the small family owned car wash came up on my left. I turned into the driveway and not seconds later a short man came walking out of the small office next to the wash.
I was greeted by Tommy, who was an old friend of the family. My dad had been the one who had helped him start the business that is "Locatelli & Son Car Wash."
"If it isn't my favorite boy." The stout man bellowed, shaking my hand through the window. "What can I do for you son?"
"I'm just here for the premium wash." I told him nodding my head up to the sign that showed the prices.
Tommy guided my car onto the tracks and I put the car in park.
"See you on the other side." He said smiling as my car was pulled along the moving tracks and into the building.
Colorful soap coated the windshield and side windows, leaving me in darkness for the time being. My car passed under some heavy rollers that basically moved all the soap around and then passed under streams of water that washed all the soap off. Huge blow driers moved up and down as my car passed, drying up all the water.
My car exited out the other side into the night which was slightly lighter then inside the building. Three men came forward with clothes and wax in there hands. They spent the next 15 minuets waxing and wiping down my car to get that perfect shine as I talked to Tommy about his kids.
When my car was completely cleaned, I paid the man and got back in my car. I headed left once again and drove to the nearest florist. I had about 2 minutes to get in there before the small store closed up at 9:30.
As I pushed open the door a small bell chimed and an elderly woman surrounded by thousands of colorful exotic flowers in vases and pots; looked up from wiping the counter down.
"You're cutting it kind of close." She observed in a soft calm voice as she placed the towel under the counter. She finally looked up at me and smiled delicately.
"I'm sorry about the lateness of my visit but I just want to buy something quickly." I told her politely. She simply nodded and looked me over.
"She is very important to you isn't she?" The woman observed smiling at me.
"Excuse me?" I asked completely bewildered by her assessment.
"You seem nervous and anxious and I'm going to go with my instinct and say you have a date and want to but her a flower." The lady told me. I turned red; she was absolutely right.
"What flower best symbolizes love?" I asked. The lady looked deep in thought as she turned around and scanned the wall for flowers before placing her hands delicately on a red rose. "One for love." She said pulling it from a bunch and placing it on the counter. She turned back and grabbed a different one. This flower was bright red also. "And one for beauty. This is the Amaryllis" She pulled out the flower and handed me both of them.
"Free of charge." She said placing a warm hand over mine.
"I can't just take it. How bout at least a really good tip?"
After much arguing I left with two perfect flowers and 60 less dollars. I may have dropped the money on the counter and bolted out of there with a friendly wave before she could slip it back.
With much time to spare, I drove down to the coast, a place I haven't been in ages. I parked my car on a cliff that jutted out over the water some 100 feet up. I opened my door and stepped out into the warm breeze. The sea spray from the waves that crashed down below came swirling into my face, salty and cool. I leaned against the guard rail and stared off at the horizon thinking of everything yet nothing.
I thought about how blessed I was to have come across an angel as special as Bella was; how fortunate I was that she could fall for a jackass like me, and I in turn could love her as deeply as I did.
I picked up some stones lying aimlessly at my feet. The smallest one in the pile was deep brown that practically sparkled, reminding me instantly of Bella's eyes. I placed that one in my back pocket and threw the others out over the cliff and down into the dark waters below.
Seemingly that it was 10 o'clock I dialed Bella's number and waited eagerly to hear her voice.
"Hello?" She answered on the second ring almost breathlessly and my heart melted.
"Bella." I sighed happily "I thought I would never hear your voice again." I confided.
"I'm leaving now. Are you sure my evil sister and her wicked minion didn't hurt you?" I said trying to joke around but I was absolutely serious.
"I managed to get out unharmed." She said laughing lightly; it sounding of wind chimes. I couldn't help but smile.
"Well I'm leaving now, ill see you soon." I hung up not giving her the chance to answer. I pushed my self to a standing position and ran to my car. I all but shoved the keys in the ignition and gunned the engine.
It took me exactly 15 minuets to find myself turning onto her street. I could just make out a form sitting on the small swing hanging from the big tree in off to the side of her house.
I passed her home, making a huge U-turn and stopping short in front of her driveway.
"Show off!" I heard her yell as I got out of the car. With twinkling eyes she began running toward me and I picked up the pace.
Bella crashed into my body her arms going around my neck and pulling me to her tightly. She buried her face in my chest and I heard her inhale deeply.
"It's been too long." She mumbled happily gripped my shirt in her hands and attempting to pull us closer.
"I know baby." I said cupping her cheek and lifting her gaze to meet mine.
"If we go this crazy being apart for a couple hours I think we'll die if we ever had to be apart for a while." I told her.
"I know I would." She said, staring into my eyes. I leaned forward and the second our lips touched she practically attacked me. Bella jumped up and wrapped her legs around my waist, her arms around my neck and parted her lips practically shoving her tongue into my mouth. I gladly allowed her entrance moving almost as eagerly as she was.
"If we keep this up," I gasped breaking away, "We'll never get our date going."
"I honestly don't think I'd mind." She sighed hopping down and grasping the front of her shirt and moving it to get air circulating under.
"Got a little heated there." She smirked turning and heading over to the car inspecting it. I wonder if she how enticing her ass looked as it swayed slightly when she walked. I followed behind her like a puppy dog. I was in no mood for the hard on I was now sporting!
Bella took two fingers and ran them along the hood of the car.
"Hmm." She hummed. "First time I've seen this car this clean." Bella assessed and I turned red. I guess I wasn't the best at maintaining a clean car even though my Volvo was my baby.
I led Bella to the passenger side, opened the door for her and helping her step in.
Bella sat silently, one hand out the window, fingers open feeling the wind slid between; the other resting just above my knee, her thumb rubbing circles. Her brown perfectly curled hair flew around her face as the car accelerated, strands falling in front of her eyes. She really didn't seem to mind. I once saw a girl practically glue her bangs to the side of her face when they kept falling in front of her eyes. Bella simply tucked them behind her ear delicately, each time that blew in front.
I couldn't believe how wonderfully breathtaking Bella looked tonight, not that she wasn't always spectacular. It was just the way she looked, her face illuminated in the glow of the moon, her eyes bright, her legs kicked up on the dash; care free as always.
I couldn't find the will to yell at Bella considering her shoes were on my Gucci dash that I had ordered special. If it had been anyone else I may have thrown them out of the car but the view was just too good to change.
Bella's pants were extremely tight, defining the muscles in her calves and making her hips look more prominent and curved. I gripped the steering wheel tighter as my inappropriate thoughts took over. Images of Bella bent over the hood or spread open on the seat next to me danced in front of me every time I blinked.
I shook away these erotic thoughts and focused on the road, noticing quickly that the trees were becoming more close together, there trunks were skinny and practically inches apart; there branches intertwined and overlapping each other. This being my sole indication that the restaurant was coming up, the only reason I knew we were near anything. Trees out here were normally well spaced out so that there was a possibility of walking through although theses trees permitted none.
"Where are we going?" Bella asked exasperatedly for the hundredth time, the only thing she asked the whole ride. In fact it had been practically silent, although not an awkward one. It was pleasant to be sitting here next to her just enjoying each others company.
"Here." I finally answered.
As expected, the trees parted a bit and nestled in between was a small restaurant, with a tinny area for parking off to the right; only a few cars scattered. The place was nearly glowing with lights strung across the roof. Bushes sat tall up against the light brown terracotta stone. It was the warm Italian restaurant that I had only eaten at once. It was family owned, only full blooded Italians were known to work here. This place seemed perfect.
"La Bella Italia." I stated as I parked the car and hurried around to open her door for her. Bella stepped out onto the gravel, her gaze fastened on the restaurant, taking in it traditional décor.
"It's beautiful." She assessed, leaning against the door. She her head was turned; I pulled out the two flowers from the back seat. I held them in front of her. When she turned her face lit up and she ran a delicate finger over the pedals.
"One for love," I indicated to the red rose specifically, "and one for beauty." I indicated to the other. It's an Amaryllis."
"There stunning." She gasped taking them from me and bringing them to her nose; taking a long inhale.
"We should be getting inside." I said grabbing her elbow and leading her down a cobblestone path flanked with flowers up to the double doors that were immediately opened up by two men dressed all in black.
They greeted us with a nod of there heads as we walked up to the stand.
"Welcome to La Bella Italia. Party for two?" A heavyset elderly woman with a thick accent and graying hair greeted us. Bella nodded her head and the hostess grabbed two menus from a shelf on the wall behind her.
"Right this way." The lady led us through a small stone dimly lit passage and into the small dining hall. The room seemed to be able to only fit 12 tables some two-seaters, others that could fit four. Only five of the tables were being occupied at the moment.
We were lead to the far right corner and to a two-seater. She placed the menus down, nodded once and retreated back towards the front. I pulled out Bella's chair and went to sit across from her.
The room was fairly quite except for the small chatter and clanking of forks on the plates. It was a very cozy atmosphere, dimly lit, with a lamp hanging low over each table.
"I really love this restaurant." Bella commented picking up her menu and scanning it.
"Bella?" I familiar husky voice questioned next to us, and I froze. I turned my head up slowly and came face to face with the filthy Jacob Black. He wore a white button up shirt and a black apron wrapped around his waist; the customary waiter attire.
Bella looked slightly shocked before, nodding.
"Um, hi Jacob." She greeted and my anger skyrocketed. How the fuck did he know her and how did she know him back? My eyes narrowed and my fists clenched as he gave her a once over, and nodded slightly. He must have sensed my uncomfortableness considering he smirked and stepped just a bit closer to her.
"You know him?" I asked tightly and she nodded.
"I ran into him at the store this morning. He introduced himself." Bella bit her lip and looked back and forth between us.
"I bet he did." I said straining to keep myself under control. I had no clue what had gotten me so ticked off, it was just another guy, he only said hi. I wasn't one of those jealous over protective guys at all, never…was I? Did he only just say hi?
I looked up from plate and noticed how close he suddenly was to her, practically over his shoulder.
"How bout you bring us some drinks." I snapped at him. He finally pulled his eyes away from Bella and flashed an angry glare at me, quickly disguising it with a cheesy smile.
"Sure. What can I get you Bella? Edward?"
"Coke." I stated and looked at Bella. I guess she could feel the tension at the table because she averted her eyes from Jacob's persistent stare.
"Same." She said in a small voice and finally looked up when he had walked away.
"I'm not about to ruin this date, but if he looks at your chest one more time, I'm gonna hurt him." Bella looked down at her cleavage and pulled up the top of her shirt a little, I couldn't help but smile.
"You don't like him." She stated.
"He's bad news, he does everything that should put him in jail, but he never seems to get caught or when he does the cop that catches him, always seems to be the same one; just lets him off with a warning. How many warnings are they gonna give him?" Bella shrugged her shoulders.
"What shit does he do?" She asked.
"He smokes, drugs, steals, he's got connection with gangs or something, at least as far as I've heard. I think he's even raped a girl but as I said that's what I've heard."
"He actually gave me the creeps when I first met him." She admitted.
At that moment Jacob appeared with our drinks and a basket of bread sticks.
"What would you guys like for dinner?" He asked in a bored tone eyeing us both, spending more time checking Bella out.
Calm down, I told myself. This is Bella's night and I'm not about to ruin it by getting us kicked out or something.
"Mushroom Ravioli." Bella told him and I looked at the menu, not being able to see anything I really wanted.
"Same." I said smirking at Bella and she smiled. Just to be a prick, I leaned forward and cupped her cheek pulling Bella's lips to mine.
"Should be ready soon." Jacob muttered tightly walking through the double doors into the kitchen.
We spent the whole time waiting for our food talking, with no interruptions from Jacob. He occasionally assisted to the other customers sending a view glances in our direction, other wise he wasn't seen.
We talked about everything! School in September, to the bitches that walked the halls of Forks High; I had to admit I didn't like that she would be in school with some of the pricks that went there. All they wanted was in a girls pants and some didn't take no for an answer. They were sick pigs who stared at girl's asses and tits and didn't give a fuck about them.
It hit me suddenly that I was exactly like the people I now despise. These guys are just what I was not too long ago at all. It would be quite a shock when they see what I've turned into.
Our food arrived and with out paying any attention, Bella dug in and I followed suit. We ate in silence, occasionally looking up to catch the other one staring and smiling and looking away. Bella blushed so many times that I couldn't help but laugh and rub her pink cheeks. She was so cute.
"Check please." I called as Jacob walked by.
"Yeah." He pulled the check out of his pocket and handed it to me. As I was looking over it, I noticed Jacob move very closer to Bella, practically over her shoulder and start whispering in her ear. I could make out every word.
"Why don't you drop his ugly ass motherfucker and come home with me tonight. I could fuck you better then he ever could." He breathed. Bella's eyes widened then squinted angrily. I was gonna step in and beat the shit out of him when Bella held up her hand. I could see that her face was at the same time, paler and redder then usual.
She pushed back her chair and whipped her fist around I didn't even get my head around it until Jacob was falling back clutching his jaw tightly. Blood seeped from under his hand and hit his white shirt.
Everyone in the room turned there head at the sound of Jacob's yell and Bella's. She stood holding her own hand, pain evident in her expression. He jumped up and was about to get in her face when I shoved him back into the arms of another waiter who managed to grab Jacob's arms and pull them behind his back. The manager of the place was out here in a second.
"What is going on here!" He yelled eyeing Bella, who was standing off to the side breathing deeply and holding back the tears and she held her now bleeding hand to her chest.
"He made a very inappropriate comment about my boyfriend," She stated annunciating the word boyfriend. "and I. He deserved the punch in the face. Even though I think I seriously hurt my hand in the process."
I quickly was at Bella's side, taking her bruised bleeding knuckle in my hand softly. I kissed it once and wrapped the handkerchief in my pocket around her cut.
"You and Edward won't last more then another week. He's a whore and your no better!" Anger clouded my vision till i was practically seeing red. I lunged forward at his comment but was immediately pulled back by the manager. I yelled profanities at Jacob as he was pulled into the kitchen.
"I am so very sorry about him." The manager apologized, then offering the meal free of charge. I gladly agreed and grabbed Bella's good hand getting her out of the restaurant quick.
Once we were in the car and on the road, I began apologizing.
"I'm so sorry the date didn't go as planned. I'm sorry that prick ruined our dinner. I swear he deserves way worse then what he got."
"Edward the dinner was absolutely amazing. I'm so happy we got to do that even though the very ending didn't go exactly that well. It was neither of our faults. He deserved what he got."
"By the way how is your hand?" I asked.
"It should stop throbbing soon." She smiled weakly and leaned over to kiss me lightly on the cheek. I leaned into it and reveled in the feeling of her warm lips on my cool skin.
Bella POV
The date went well besides the little fight that had me practically shaking. The look of anger in Edward's eyes when he lunged at Jacob reminded me a little too much of what Phil had looked like. I had brushed it off so that we could get on with our dinner although it tugged at the back of my mind.
On top of that my hand hurt extremely badly. I had torn the skin and bruised the bone. Just great! And now I had a new fear of Jacob, not for being the little creeper at the convenience store but as the seemingly dangerous druggy.
It was so romantic of Edward to buy me flowers, two extremely beautiful ones at that. They represented love and beauty which was exactly what Edward was to me; perfect!
The restaurant was also breathtaking, small in size but homey too. The food was absolutely amazing, and appetizing.
The whole car ride home after we had established the date was perfect even though it didn't go as planned, I blared out the lyrics of any song that came up on his I pod. Edward sang along with me, and when our song came on, I simply stared at him as he sang every word with a passion I can't even describe.
Edward also couldn't stay with me tonight, because his mom wanted him home for once because apparently Alice was out.
Edward walked me to my front door.
"I love you Bella." He said suddenly, looking into my eyes and stepping forward. He leaned down and ghosted his lips lightly across my jaw and up to my lips. I gripped his shirt with my good hand and pulled my self up against him. He broke away and picked up my injured hand, running his lips lightly over it. Suddenly the front door was pulled open from the inside scaring the ever living shit out of me! Who was in my fucking house?!
Alice and Rose stood inside my front door in there pajamas, smiling.
"What the fuck?" I yelled. "Do all of you like to break into people's houses? Was is it, a course they provide at your school?" I asked incredulously.
"Oh silly Bella, we got in the same way we broke in before."
"Damn window." I muttered glaring. "Well what are you fucking doing here?" I asked.
They exchanged a look and smiling widely.
"Slumber Party!" They screamed happily and I groaned. "Of course Edward could join us for some girl time."
"Well, I guess I should be going now." Edward suddenly said, glancing between Alice and Rose like they were wild animals about to pounce. He gave me a pleading look and I nodded my head, maybe I could be up for some girl time. Edward pecked me quickly and practically ran to his car.
"I can't wait to see you again, because I'm going to smack the shit out of you." I screamed jokingly as he got in his car and I was dragged into the house by two very excited girls. This ought to be fun.
