When I woke up the next morning it was sunny! I decided that perhaps it was a sign that today's shopping trip wouldn't be as bad as I was anticipating.
I grabbed a pair of jeans, a cute white top and headed for the bathroom. After showering I felt a little more awake as I made the trip downstairs to the kitchen. Rose was making breakfast, pancakes, while Alice was sitting at the breakfast bar poring over fashion magazines.
"Morning" I said happily.
"Morning Bells" they chimed, "Coffee?" Rose offered.
"Please" I replied. Alice looked up from her magazine.
"Today is going to be so much fun!" Alice exclaimed, while I doubted it would be I smiled back at her, I had to remind myself that I had bought this all on myself. "Oh and Bella by the way this shopping trip is on me and Rose" she said with a grin.
"What! No you guys, I have a bit of money saved up" I protested.
"No arguing" said Rose sternly, "It's a welcome home present" I backed down sensing I wasn't going to win this argument.
After breakfast we all piled into Alice's bright yellow Porsche 911 turbo, a Christmas present last year from her parents. She turned up the stereo and sped down the drive. Less than fifteen minutes later, due to Alice's penchant for fast driving, we pulled into the mall car park. It was early, before 9:00am, the girls informed me that it would take us the whole day to buy everything I would need, all day? I thought groaning inwardly.
Rose and Alice dragged me into every store in the entire mall devoted to woman's clothing, after explaining that we would need to purchase shoes, accessories, hand bags and beauty products after we knew what outfits we had to work with.
I was in a state of shock when in one of the designer stores they had dragged me into, the sales woman rang up our purchases and the figure was in the thousands. Rosalie didn't even bat an eyelid as she handed over her credit card, after we left I began to protest but it fell on deaf ears.
Both Alice and Rosalie's parent were well off. Alice's father Darryl Brandon was the CEO of Eclipse Records while her mother Jennifer was a successful events planner.
Rosalie's mother Lillian was an art gallery curator/owner of the Port Angeles Art Gallery and her father Ian was a lawyer. Both families despite their wealth were kind and generous and incredibly down to earth.
Finally we stopped for lunch after much begging on my part. Rose pointed out a little café and we decided to eat there.
"Having fun yet?" asked Rose looking over her menu.
"Umm" I said, I was having fun much to my surprise but I was well aware that if I admitted this now I would be dragged out on shopping trips more frequently than I could handle. "Yes" I admitted.
Rose and Alice looked smug, "Told you" replied Alice.
At 5:00pm Alice and Rose finally declared we were done, I was exhausted. We had had to make several trips to the car to unload bags during the day but my arms were full again. They had gone completely overboard, I now had new everything, and I mean everything!
They even dragged me into Victoria's Secret and forced me to buy new underwear. But I had to admit I was pleased with most of our purchases, there were a few items I was less than thrilled to now possess including a dress that showed more skin than I was used to but Alice was very persistent.
We finally arrived home and unloaded all of my bags. While we were putting away my new clothes the girls announced that we were going out for dinner tonight with the boys and that tomorrow night a friend of theirs was having a party since summer vacation was almost over. I was pleased that we would be spending time with the boys tonight; this was mainly because I was excited to see Edward again but not so thrilled about the prospect of a party. No doubt being the new comer I would be a novelty and I was clumsy enough as it was without being the centre of attention.
"Bella Barbie time" Alice exclaimed after we had finished putting away all of the days purchases. I groaned. I knew what this meant.
"We will have to be quick Alice" said Rose glancing at her watch, "Reservations are for 7:30pm".
It was only 6, plenty of time I thought, "Crap!" exclaimed Alice.
One and a half hours later we were ready.
Alice was wearing a cute pair of dressy black shorts with a white top and a thick black belt and heels.
Rose had on tight black skinny jeans and an off the shoulder red printed top with stilettos.
They had dressed me in a pair of dark wash skinny jeans and a black sequined top, my hair was lightly curled and they had given my eyes the smoky look. Rose had even managed to get me into a pair of heels, with a small heel. I was feeling a little apprehensive about this, my track record for injuring myself while attempting to walk in heels was high.
We met the guys out the front. Emmett proudly introduced me to his baby, a red Hummer; it was fitting considering how huge Emmett was and told me we were all going to ride together. I climbed into the massive car and Edward jumped in and sat beside me.
"How was your shopping trip?" asked Edward with a knowing smile.
"Long and tiring" I replied smiling, "But it was fun".
He chuckled, he opened his mouth to reply but was cut off by Emmett who turned up the stereo and shouting in a booming voice "I love this song!" when he heard Katy Perry's Hot N Cold through the speakers.
Jasper sniggered, "What?" exclaimed Emmett, "its Rosalie's CD not mine" he said defensively "and besides it's an awesome song".
He knew all the words and had even invented his own dance moves; it was hilarious seeing him bouncing around in his seat. When Alice and I began to sing along with him, Emmett grinned at me through the rear view mirror, "See Bella knows the words too!" he said excitedly.
"Yeah Em but the difference is Bella's a girl! It's totally a chick's song" retorted Jasper laughing, we all laughed.
"Jazz is just jealous" Emmett informed me, "He just wishes he could pull off these awesome dance moves" Emmett began waving his arms around singing louder than before.
Ten minutes later we pulled up outside Bob's Seafood and Steak Bar and piled out of the car. Our waiter for the evening, Patrick, showed us to our seats. Patrick handed us all menus and asked for our drinks orders. I began to feel a little uncomfortable when I noticed him staring at me.
He returned with our drinks and took down our dinner orders; Emmett ordered for himself enough food to feed a small army!
"And what can I get for you beautiful?" Patrick asked me in a suggestive tone, eww I thought what a creeper.
I looked at him with one eyebrow raised, "I'll have the steak burger, thanks" I said in a dismissing tone.
"Be right back" he said with a wink, obviously my subtle hint wasn't enough. Edward was sitting beside me with his fists clenched looking irritated, I wondered what had got him all worked up?
"That was so gross" complained Rose.
"He was such a creep" agreed Alice.
The rest of the meal was great; Jasper became very chatty after a few drinks and had us all laughing with some ridiculous jokes.
At the end of the night Patrick bought the bill to us, when Jasper opened the folder he burst out laughing, "Ooh look Bella he left you a wee note!" he said in a girlish voice.
Alice grabbed it out of Jaspers hands, "with his phone number" she added. I looked at her unimpressed, "maybe you should call him Bella?" she asked,."
I hope you aren't being serious?" I replied annoyed. She laughed.
"Bella can do better than that!" exclaimed Rose snatching the note from Alice and screwing it up into a ball.
"He was totally unprofessional" piped up Edward in an agitated tone, "You should say something to his manager" his fists were still clenched resting on the table.
"Gee Edward! No need to get so worked up!" said Alice rolling her eyes and exchanging a smirk with Rose.
I had a strange feeling that little pixie was up to no good.
