Disclaimer: For the last time! I do NOT own Twilight! Sheesh
A/N Because I felt bad that it took me so long to update here's another one. I tried to add link for the clothes her, but for some reason it didn't work, so they'll be on my profile.
"Bella! Bella get up!" I sat up and saw Alice hovering over me and Rose smiling and rolling her eyes groggily behind Alice's back.
"What time is it you demented pixie?" I demanded attempting to rub the sandpaper out of my eyes.
"It's 4:30." She stated matter-of-factly, climbing over Rose and out of bed.
"AM?" I screeched out walking to my duffle bag. "Why are we up now? Surely stores aren't open now."
"No most of the stores in Port Angeles open at 7:30, but we have to get ready, eat breakfast, and drive up there." She explained as Rose stalked passed her to the bathroom. "OK Bella Rosalie is obviously using my shower, but there's one down the hall you can use. Here just take your towel, bra, and panties with you; you can change in to your clothes when you get back." She walked me to the bathroom she was talking about, which happens to be right next door to Edward's room. I hope he doesn't wake up needing to use the bathroom. She deposited my shampoo, body wash, and puff; then walked away.
I turned the water on as hot as I could stand and stood under the spray. It was hot and relaxing, easing the tension out of my muscles. Just as I was adding body wash to my puff, the bathroom door opened. It was quiet for a minute…then the toilet flushed causing me to yelp as the water got hotter than I was prepared for.
"Bella?" I heard Edward ask a little shocked. I gave a squeaky "Yes" and turned my reddest ever. "I am so sorry. I had no idea Alice was going to put you in my bathroom. Well have fun today, I'm going back to sleep." I heard the door click shut and resumed washing.
When I finished I toweled off, put my under garments on, followed by my towel and checked that the coast was clear before stepping out in the hall. I padded down the hall and found Rosalie and Alice commenting on their outfits for today, still wearing their towels.
"Shut the door Bella." Alice said as I walked in the door. I did as she said and reached in my duffle bag for my own clothes.
We changed quickly; Rosalie wore a red sweater and black skinny jeans, over her red bra and thong, she pulled on red ankle boots, attached a gold heart necklace and gold hoop earrings.
Alice wore matching black bra and panties, a pink t-shirt that read 'Be Happy', a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, a dark wash cropped jean jacket, pink and gray striped socks, pink converse, black and pink hooped earrings, and black bangles.
Over my gray bra and panties I wore a white t-shirt with a girl outlined in black, light blue flared jeans, a light blue button up sweater, gray and blue ankle socks, with blue and yellow checkered hearts, pink and white Nikes, light blue leaf earring, and a pink and purple butterfly ring on my thumb.
We went to Alice's vanity, she applied my makeup, after she blow dried my hair I went back to my duffle bag and pulled out my flat iron and proceeded to her bathroom to straighten my hair.
After getting ready we headed downstairs for breakfast, we grabbed a granola bar and an apple juice from the fridge then headed out the door.
I was curled up in the backseat of Alice's yellow Porsche ( a birthday present from granddad Cullen) with my head resting on the cool window, listening to some P!nk song Alice had blaring. We pulled up near the boardwalk and I could see the peaking up over the horizon. I, very reluctantly, disentangled myself from my seatbelt and clambered out after Rosalie.
"So where are we going anyway?" I asked looking at my watch, it said 7:00, is anything even open yet? Alice just rolled her eyes and kept walking eventually she stopped in front of a coffee shop and suddenly I understood and felt the need to kiss her, a need I repressed. We left the coffee shop hot chocolates in hand (Alice said their coffee looked weak) walked to the store next door and waited for it to open.
Finally at 7:45 the doors opened, we threw our empty cups away and walked in. I knew I should have been suspicious, Alice kept sending me anxious looks and the questions she asked about Edward, I knew there was something. We walked in to a store filled with dresses and accessories; we're shopping for home coming dresses.
My companion immediately went to the racks and started picking out dresses; I however, took on this Endeavour with a bit more trepidation. I flipped through a rack that seemed promising until Alice came around and told me she wouldn't let me buy anything "frumpy looking" whatever that means.
After twenty minutes of looking I still couldn't find anything, Alice had been watching me with a look of frustration. After another five minutes of her huffing, I jokingly asked her if she would like to try. I didn't think she would take me up on it.
Eventually Alice found dresses for me, so we went to the fitting rooms to see how we looked. Rosalie went in first.
She tried on this red lace fitted dress that went down mid thigh but we shot it down. Her second dress was a bright pink bandage dress, which we also shot down (it was too sexy). Her third was a black fitted one strap dress which once again went down mid thigh, which we also decided against. Her fourth dress was another bandage dress, but this time red and black. Once again no, Rose is one of those people who are actually too hot for a tight, short dress. The next one she tried on was perfect though. It was a black strapless dress that accentuated her curves perfectly.
Alice was next; trying on a gray sleeveless dress with a ruffled bodice, but it didn't fit her personality. Next was a white dress with black polka dots, that went mid thigh; also a no. Next was a sunflower yellow thick strapped dress, but it didn't fit the occasion. Third inline was a deep purple dress with one strap, but it didn't quite capture Alice. Finally she pulled out a one strapped pink dress that just screamed Alice.
Unfortunately my turn came next. I tried on a thin strapped black and purple dress that I felt uncomfortable in. A pale green dress that came to my knees, but Rose and Alice didn't like it (even though Alice picked it out). A fitted hot pink dress with a ruffled skirt that made me feel exposed was next. Then a dark blue version of Alice's white polka dot dress. Finally I tried on a simple white dress that we all liked.
After we tried on our dresses we shopped for accessories and finally paid. I paid more than I would have liked especially since I don't have a date, but it'll be good to get dressed up and feel pretty. Who knows Edward may even ask me. Wouldn't it be worth it then?
We walked to the shoe store on three blocks away and found our shoes to go with our dresses. I was set against heels, but Alice and Rose assured me that it would be easier for me to keep my balance in platform heels because of how wide the soles are and that I should wear the around as practice.
I looked at my watch and saw that we had been shopping for over four hours and I was starving. We dropped our bags at Alice's car and walked to a tiny Italian restaurant a couple streets away. It was pretty crowded when we got there, but Rose flashed the host a dazzling smile, needless to say we got seated almost immediately. I wondered why Rose had gotten us a table for six when there were only three of us, but my unasked question was answered just after we ordered our drink. Edward, Japer, and Emmett came walking in the door scanning the room looking for us.
Edward noticed us first, he nudged Jasper and the guys made their way over. Edward look amazing in a dark wash jean, gray t-shirt, white and gray Adidas, and a gray hoody that set off his eyes. Jasper sat next to Alice wearing a dark wash jean, a light blue flannel shirt, and white and blue Reeboks. Emmett sat across from Rosalie and next to Jasper wearing dark wash denim, a light blue shirt with a white skull, a black hoody and black Ecko's.
The waitress came by and took our orders, while ogling Edward the whole time, which went unnoticed by everyone but me; which is a very embarrassing realization.
"What did you girls get today?" Jasper asked taking a drink of his water.
"Homecoming dresses!" Alice announced she had clearly been waiting for one of them to ask. "Rose got a black one, Bella got a white one, and I got a pink one!" She was positively bouncing now.
Edward turned to me. "You got a dress Bella?" I nodded in affirmation fighting the urge to blush. "Has anyone asked you yet?" I shook my head looking at my feet. "Would you like to go with me?' My head snapped up and I saw the smile on his face, I'm sure I'm beet red right now.
"I…ummm…sure." I stumbled out. His smile grew.
"Fantastic." He managed before our food arrived. I looked at Alice and she had a self satisfied smirk on her face. I tried t fight the urge to roll my eyes, but lost.
When we finished eating we settled the bill and headed out and parted ways with the guys, us to continue our shopping and them to do whatever it is guys do. Alice and Rose so far have been very tight lipped about Edward asking me to homecoming, which I am very thankful for, but I know it won't last. Rose mentioned something about needing a corset so we went to the lingerie store.
"Bella you need one too." Rose called from one of the displays.
"For what?" I very nearly demanded.
"To wear under your dress" Alice explained rolling her eyes. She continued noticing my confused expression. "It'll push your boobs up. Don't look at me like that Bella! Edward will love it." She had me and she knew it.
So I ended up with a silver corset, black bra and panties, and a light pink bra and thong. I've never worn a thong before, but wearing certain underwear can give a woman a certain amount of confidence, so who knows. Alice got a pink corset, a sequined pink bra and thong, and white bra and panties. Rosalie was the quickest to choose a red corset, silver sequined bra and thong, and a black bra and thong.
Finally we decided we were done shopping and were on our way back to the car when I noticed a figure just ahead of us. It was James.
"Hey Bella! Got a sec?" James asked looking genial
"I…ummm…" I wasn't sure if I did or not. He creeps me out, but he looks OK now.
"Bells we'll just wait right here." Rosalie motioned to the side and Alice nodded.
"What can I do for you James?" I asked gaining composure.
"I wanted to know if you would go to homecoming with me." He said smiling a thousand watt smile.
"Oh sorry James. I'm already going with Edward." I explained not feeling the least bit sorry.
"Oh well I should have asked sooner. Thanks Bella." Then he turned and walked away.
Rosalie and Alice joined me almost immediately and asked me what he wanted. I told them and Rose didn't look happy at all. "Stay away from him Bella. I dated him before Emmett, he's controlling and sick."
I watched his retreating back and was very thankful that Edward asked me first.
A/N What a creeper!
