"GIRLS! LET'S GO!" Charlie shouted up the stairs.
"WE'RE NOT READY YET!" Rose shouted back.
We heard footsteps coming up the stairs and knocked on our bedroom doors. I opened the door clad in a tank top and sofee shorts with my hair half up and half straightened. Rose's hair looked to be still wet.
"Girls…the reservation is for 6:30 and its 6:20. We need to go or else they will give away our table." Charlie huffed. We were stuck because they was no way that we would be ready in time. The restaurant was good 15 minutes away. They would already be late as it is.
"Um…I have my car. I can drive us over when we are done if that's ok with you…It will make things easier and you will be able to make your reservation." I said.
"Yeah do what she said." Rose agreed.
Charlie looked at his watch and sighed. "Fine, but girls no later than 7. Understand?"
"Yes Sir" We mumbled at the same time. I stepped back inside my room to finish getting ready. Charlie lumbered down the stairs and He, Sue and Seth went outside to his car.
Seth arrived at around 11 this morning and he was pretty cool. He turned 15 today and he chose to go some restaurant in town. I already forgot the name. Apparently it was semiformal dress, so we decided to just wear a pair of dark tight jeans and a nice top with some sort of sandals. I would have to go through my closet for my final choices.
Anyway, Seth was pretty excited to see us. He gave us hugs and my god was this kid tall. Not that being taller than me is a big deal, but he was a good 6'3 and he was only 15! His dad must be a freaking giant because he certainly did not get that from Sue. He had a charming smile, and seemed like a generally good kid. He cracked jokes and it seemed like we knew him for years…not only a couple of hours. He and Charlie also go along great.
The reason Rose and I are so late getting ready is mainly because of Seth actually. The three of us decided to go out for the day. We went out to the movies and lunch. We got to know each other and promised to take him out for paintball while he was here. I have never gone before, but he said it's a lot of fun…who knows.
While we out, Rose taught him how to pick up some girls. He already had the look; just needed a few more skills were her exact words. That was the highlight of my day when she told him to approach this 20 year old woman and charm her.
He did that's for sure. I smiled to myself and continued to straighten my hair. After I finished my hair, I started on my makeup. I am not one to wear a lot, just eyeliner, mascara, and some eye shadow. Foundation was usually for special occasions…plus I was running late. My mom also never let me wear foundation until recently. I have no clue with that woman. She let me wear eyeliner and mascara…but not foundation. I wanted to strangler her those years when I had zits I needed to cover up, but now that most of them are gone, it's not so bad!
I sighed and moved through the mess on my floor to my closet. I didn't feel like cleaning up my room lately so it is basically a big mess full of my shit. I open the closet doors and grab my favorite pair of dark denim jeans. They were basically tight all over, but it would go great with the top I picked.
It takes me a good 10 minutes to get my ass in them, and I grab a belt and begin the hunt for my shirt. It's a purple top that only goes over one shoulder. The waist is synched and has a black belt. The purple is a deep midnight purple and looks really good with my hair.
(Link on Profile. Second one on the top row.)
I find some black kambodia heels that's adds a good 3 ½ inches (on profile) onto my 5'4 frame. I find some hoop earrings, grab my purse, phone and etc., look in the mirror, turn off my lights and I am ready to go!
I bang on Rosalie's door and open the door.
"Babe, its 6:45 we need to go soon." I lean against the door frame and just watch her. She is scurrying around the room half-dressed and still has a chunk of her hair to do. Her room is worse than mine with perfume filling the air, her whole closet dumped on the floor and something burning in the corner.
"Ummmm….it might be a while?" She asked and looked at me for help.
I just laugh and go in to help her.
"I'll finish your hair while you do your makeup."
"Oh my god thank you so much!" She sits down in front of the mirror and begins working while I finish her hair. Together we finish everything we need done in about 10 minutes. She two is wearing dark jeans and black high pumps but her top is different. It's a black tube top, and over the tube top is this vest like thing that is open in the middle it ties at the top of neck and is full of intricate red and silver patterns. (On profile also)
"You look gorgeous now come on. We are already going to be late as it is. We don't want a repeat of last time do we?" I smirked and she tried to smack me.
"Shut up you bitch!" She laughed and we turned of all the lights and headed downstairs. After the house was locked, we stepped outside into the twilight and headed to my car. I climbed in the driver's seat and cranked the car on.
"Lego." I pulled out of the driveway and stopped before pulling out.
"Um…do you know where it is?" I asked and looked at Rosalie.
"Oh shit. I didn't pay attention when they were telling us where it was. I thought you were!" She looked at me with wide eyes.
"Why is it always up to me! Why can't you be responsible for once?" I know I was bitching but still, everything was always my fault.
"Not my fault you weren't listing." She shrugged her shoulders. "It's not like I care if we go or not."
"Oh grow up Rosalie. Stop being such a brat." She glared at me but I have mastered to the concept of ignoring her looks. "You can call for directions." I said and sat back in the seat. I knew it would kill her to have to call and ask for help, but she needed to get over it.
She huffed "I remember the name of the restaurant, let's just drive around we will find it. It's called like Pete's Italian or something like that."
For some reason, a light bulb turned on in my head. Wait…we used to eat there all the time when we were kids!
"Rose! I know where it is! We used to eat there all the time as kids. Its downtown somewhere!" I stepped on the gas and hightailed it out of the neighborhood since it was 7:00…whoops. What can I say…we tend to run late?
While driving on the interstate which would lead us downtown, the radio was on, and I decided to put the top down.
"What are you doing? You are going to mess up my hair! Then the wind will make my eyes water and then my mascara will run and I will be a mess!" Rose complained but I didn't budge.
"You are already a mess sweetheart." I smirked and continued to roll down the top. The interstate was surprisingly empty with only a few cars which made it easy to gun it. Rose was on "cop patrol" which was to basically watch out for any police that would be on the prowl.
I pulled off on the exit which would lead us to where we needed and we could finally hear ourselves think.
"Ohhhh shit I forgot! We get to meet our step sister!" I said. She was going to meet us at the restraint because she couldn't make it earlier. Something about vacation. Who knows? I only know that her name is Leah and is in like her second year of college.
"Yay." Rosalie mumbled and just turned the music up. I shook my head and just ignored her. She could be really moody sometimes.
I finally spotted the restaurant and pulled into the parking lot. I looked at the clock. We were about 20 minutes late.
Whoops.
I put the top back up and took out the keys, grabbed my purse and locked my door. I saw Charlie's Car and about 15 others. I did see a few familiar cars, but I couldn't place where they were from. Man I really need to get out more.
Rose, having to be the first to enter a room, ran in front of me and opened the door slamming in my face.
"Fuck you." I mumbled and walked in behind her. Walking up the lady at the front she said a few things and the lady smiled and said "Yes, right this way. They have been expecting you two ladies for a while." She gave us a condescending look and walked off the left.
We just smiled and flicked her off behind her back.
I saw her take a right behind a corner and we apparently had rented out our own section. I instantly recognized the faces mixed in at the table. The Cullens and McCarthys.
Fuck.
So that is what Sue meant by 14.
"Oh Hell no. There is NO way I am going in there now." Rose put her hands on her hips and stopped abruptly. I bumped into her back unsuspectingly and caused her to move forward a little bit. I rubbed my forehead and muttered a few profanities.
''I really should control my mouth.'' I thought to myself.
"Well we can't exactly bail. Its Seth's birthday and we need to meet Leah. If we are good, then maybe Charlie will let us out past 9 o'clock!" I whispered
My mother told Charlie it was up to him to set our curfew, but she also told him about recent escapades of ours. That is the main factor in why we have to be inside or at the house by 9. It's ridiculous. We usually left the house at 9 in New York. Sometimes even later.
"I know I know….but I need to think. Let's go to the bathroom." Rose grabbed my arm and turned me around in search of the bathroom.
The poor hostess probably thought we were still behind her. Ha-ha Bitch deserved that one...
Now off to go create some sort of plan in a restroom that we have to find first. Damn we should try to get a GPS.
So hey guys :D
Any ideas of what should happen in the restaurant? Review and let me know your ideas!
And I know that there aren't any major things happening, but it is all about the baby steps!
Oh, and this is probably the story I am most focused on because this is the story that I have the most ideas for. I have a tiny case of writers block for my other two stories so please let me know if you have any ideas or details you would like in either story!
Thanks,
