I paced up and down my dorm-room trying to figure out how the hell I was going to confront Edward. I laced my fingers through my hair and pulled. I stopped short when the doorknob started to jostle and my roommate Angela came rushing through.
"Hey Ang," I said as she was unloading a shit ton of bags from Walmart.
"Hey Bella… do you mind putting some of this shit in the fridge? I figured we needed to re-stock on the whipped cream and oreos." She didn't wait for my response when she was walking back out.
I started unpacking the containers of mouth-watering food. Now that I think about it, I haven't eaten in about eight hours, fuck me I was hungry.
Angela came back a few minutes later with two more bags. We talked about our Latin homework in the process.
"So… I need to ask you something." I said. I wanted her advice on how to do this… without making myself look like a complete idiot.
"Shoot," She stuffed all of the plastic bags into the bin next to the bar fridge and plopped down on her bed.
"So last night I met this guy-" She cut me off before I got to the point.
"BELLA! Who! Oh my god! You have never met a guy, tell me everything!" She squealed, I almost had the urge to put my ear plugs in.
"Jesus woman, calm down! His name is Edward and Alice gave him my number… he's really hot and all but-"
"Alice! Oh fuck, I love that girl. You know she and Jasper have been together for like 3 months now? They will last forever!" She said completely changing the subject, I wont lie it irritated me.
"Dude, Ang, listen okay? So he didn't even order any food-" I started, then she was interrupted again.
"You met him at Rita's?" She didn't sound amused.
"Yep, what's the problem with that?" Now she was really making me mad. Normally Ang wasn't this bad. Well except when she first met Ben, and when Ben broke up with her… but yeah that's a different story.
"Anyways… as I was saying he left me a one hundred dollar tip, he goes to our college so my only problem is how do I approach him? Like he can't expect me to be bought or something..." I started wringing my fingers together.
"I'd say just go up to him and shove it in his chest, then walk away. Be a complete bitch." She whipped out her compact mirror and started smearing lip gloss over her little lips. I could not wait until Alice and I could room together, I mean Angela meant well and all… but to me it felt as if she didn't care about anyone besides herself.
"Are you sure?" I didn't want to make him stay away from me, I mean he was eye candy. I really would let him steal my damn virginity, even though I didn't even know him! Way to go Bella.
"Yes, of course I'm sure." She rolled her eyes and smeared her lips together making an annoying popping sound.
I started chewing on my lower lip and decided that Angela was right. That's a first.
"Alright I'm going out with Lauren, don't eat all the food." She said grabbing her coach purse and her Gucci sunglasses. I let out a sigh of relief when she was out of the room. I yanked off my sweatpants and pulled out my favorite pair of faded skinnies, a red t-shirt that Alice said makes me look too hot for words and my little black ballet shoes. I wanted to show Edward look what you can't have yeah that would put him in his place too, I kept my hair in the ponytail I had put it in and headed down the confines of the dorm.
My dorm was huge. Plus it was Co-Ed, how sick was that? I figured Edward would be in the main dorm so I headed towards that direction, letting the chilly fall air whip across my face.
I was halfway there when some jock came up to me.
"Hey cutie." He said, he had a Mariners shirt on and a SSU baseball cap on. His muscles were beyond jacked and it was sort of disgusting.
"Hey." I said, not stopping.
"Where do you think your going?"
"My boyfriends." I rolled my eyes and internally laughed at my lie. Funny thing is that lie I really wanted to be true.
"Oh well… he doesn't have to know." He said slyly, casually rubbing his hand on my ass. What the fuck?
"Fuck off." I picked up my pace a little and he thankfully left me alone, I could hear him laughing in the background.
I nearly ran to the guys dorm on South side and was breathing hard when I reached the entrance. Fuck there were so many guys here.
I went up to the first 'nice' looking one I saw.
"Hi… do you know if there's a guy named Edward in this dorm?" I asked cautiously looking at my surroundings.
All the guys around me looked my way and 'ooohed' like fourteen year olds.
"Hey Edward! You getting laid tonight!" Some asshole screamed down the hallway.
"What the fuck are you talking-" I heard Edward say, then I saw him and he saw me.
"Bella?" He asked, I could definitely tell he was shocked to see me here.
"Yes and you can take your damn pity money back, I don't fucking want it." I said shoving the $100 bill into his hard chest.
I turned around and he grabbed my shoulder. All his 'friends' were laughing at the situation.
"Hey, what's going on? It's wasn't pity money." He whispered.
"Bullshit." I rolled my eyes and tried to make my way out of his dorm. At least I knew what dorm he was in.
"Here, let me explain… please?"
He grabbed my hand and led me into a small messy room.
"Sorry for the mess, if I knew someone worth cleaning up for was coming… I would've." He plopped down in his desk chair and pulled over another one for me to sit in.
"You don't even fucking know me!"
"Yes… but I'd like to get to know you. Your right, I shouldn't have left you that tip."
I didn't respond at first, I looked around his small room instead. There was a set of bunk beds two desks, a black rug in the center of the room and a shit load of clothes on the floor.
"Why? So you can get laid?"
"What? No. Your, Fuck. Your really hot." Wow, way to be a complete dick.
"Wow." I got up to leave but he yanked me down.
"Please? That came out wrong, but I don't know, im not saying this right… can I take you out on a date?"
"What! No! Are you serious?" I squealed. I heard manly giggles on the other side of the door… apparently so did Edward.
"JACOB GET THE FUCK AWAY!" He screamed, I almost cringed from the pitch of his voice. The laughing started again, then got quieter.
"Please?" He asked me in this seductive tone. He was so hot. So hot. So fucking hot.
"Fine." I said, trying not to sound so excited.
"… Really?"
"Yes ill go on a date with you, seeings as you asked so nicely by pulling me into a dirty room..." I said trying to sound disinterested, but it kinda came out bitchy.
"Oh, yeah sorry about that...So, What do you want to do?" Was he joking?
"Your kidding right? You can figure that out. I can't believe I'm going on a fucking date with such a douche bag." Ooops, harsh one Bella.
"Ouch." He said.
"Sort of just slipped out." I didn't feel sorry though, after all that fucking pain I'd been put through I was not taking shit from anyone.
"I have to go…" I said hesitantly, I'd been there for a good seven minutes and well I wasn't interested on spending the night with him, well not yet anyway.
"Tomorrow… meet me at the library at 7:30, okay?" He said. He looked hopeful. He looked sexy. How could I say no.
"Tomorrow then, if you want to get to know me, you will have to prove your not a complete dickhead" I said and I left him like that.
I could hear his dorm-mates 'hooting' and 'hollering' and saying shit like 'fuck yea Edward!' It was sad, really.
I shook my head clear of all thoughts and wondered how much stupider I could get, I was letting myself go out with someone just because they're attractive… yet he was such a complete douche bag. That was my opinion on him at the moment, guess he will have to prove otherwise.
Erg.
I made my way back to my dorm and was thankfully blessed with no jocks trying to get with me.
Thank God Angela was not in the dorm room, I seriously think I would've pulled out all my hair from stress if she'd been in there.
I stripped down into my bra & undies and then pulled on my best flannel pajamas and a simple black singlet then crawled into the confines of my bed, praying for a long dreamless sleep.
That wasn't the case, that night was the first night I had dreams of only Edward Cullen.
If only it could be like this every night.
