I took in a deep breath before walking over to my dorm door, "You coming?" I asked looking over my shoulder at him. He was watching me with some emotion in his eyes and after a second he nodded and followed me in.
Chapter Twelve
My Stupid Mouth
My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see
She was offended
She said "well anyway..."
Just dying for a subject change
Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find what soon
We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
My Stupid Mouth by John Mayer
EPOV:
It's been a week since the movie night. A week and I hadn't seen Bella once. After her telling me that she wanted to go back to the way things were before we started to date I was ecstatic, but now after a week all I wanted was to be by her side and that wasn't something just a friend did. Or did they?
Jasper walked through the door then and I ran a hand through my hair before I plopped down on my bed. "Hey man I'm supposed to tell you that everyone is going to this restaurant tonight, Alice expects you there." I nodded my head though I wasn't really listening to him. "So be at Johnson's at six that's when our reservations are for."
"Johnson's?" I asked looking up at him as he threw his bag down.
"Yeah it's this restaurant on Third Street… Chris, Blake, Jenny, Bella, and everyone else is going so you have to too. If you don't well-"
I cut Jasper off, "I'll be there, tell my sister to take a chill pill and stop bugging you about me." I stood up and walked over to my desk and signed onto my computer to do some term paper.
I heard Jasper sigh. "Will do Edward." He hit my shoulder and then stepped out of the room. I tapped my pencil against the keyboard of my laptop as I waited for it to boot up. It was going to be a long day.
By five fifty I was already sitting at our assigned table. I was itching to see that brunette… though she didn't have to know that. "Is this seat taken?" a light voice said next to my ear and I almost shivered from the familiarity of it.
I shook my head roughly and my angel sat down across from me… I mean Bella sat down across from me. "You… uh look really pretty," I stuttered as I caught sight of her little black dress. AN: Picture of outfit on Profile.
She smiled gratefully at me and I immediately did too. "Thanks you look pretty good too Romeo." I laughed with her a little. I was just wearing a blue button down long sleeved shirt and black pants; the restaurant was nicer than just a regular diner.
"So… uh do you know where everyone is?" I asked and I almost hit myself on the head, could I get any more awkward? It was just Bella that I was talking to. Just Bella. Just the funniest and prettiest girl-
"I have no idea, Alice came bouncing over to me earlier today talking about how I just had to come tonight and yet she's nowhere in sight." I nodded in agreement just as the waitress came by.
She flashed me a wide grin, "Hello I'm Abby and I'm going to be your waitress for tonight is there anything I can get you tonight sweetie?" she asked as she put her hands on the table and leaning towards me.
I just turned to Bella and saw her staring at Abby with a raised eyebrow, "Uh yeah… I'd like a glass of water, how about you Bella?"
Bella swallowed and then smiled up at me before turning to the waitress, "I'd like a glass of tea please."
Abby nodded slightly frustrated and then walked away. "Um so anyways… how have classes been?" I asked.
"Eh good I guess… its school so I'm enjoying it." I nodded in agreement.
"That's good… well… have you heard about what happened to the mascot?" I asked and I felt my forehead crease at my lame conversation starter.
Bella raised both eyebrows at me and I felt myself start to sweat, what the hell was wrong with me? "Um… no."
"Oh well," I felt like I was going to faint from my stupidity. "I heard that he got caught with drugs or something…"
Her eyebrows were still raised and I looked down at my hands. "Okay… well anyway-" she started to say but was interrupted by Abby walking over and giving us our drinks.
"Have you guys found out what you want to eat?" Abby asked looking over at me with a big smile. I shook my head roughly and then reached over for my water and ended up knocking it over.
"Oh!" Bella gasped as it landed in her lap.
"Shit! I'm so sorry Bella!" I said in exasperation at my clumsiness. She waved her hand at me as she grabbed her napkin and started to dry herself.
Abby smirked down at me, "I'll go get you another water… and someone to clean this up." I nodded but kept looking at Bella.
Bella sighed when Abby left and the looked up at me. "I'm just going to go to the bathroom and air dry this… if they get here ask Alice and Rose to meet me in there please… And Edward whatever's bothering you it'll be okay just take a few breaths and calm yourself." She said before getting up and then bending down and hugging me. She walked away right after I got a quick sniff of her shampoo, it was the same. I groaned and then let my head fall to the table.
"Hey sorry we're late but-" I heard Emmett say but he cut off as I lifted my head. "Dude are you okay?" he asked.
I shook my head and then looked over at Rose and Alice. "Bella needs your help in the bathroom; I accidentally spilt my water all over her." I sighed and then they giggled and left.
"You spilt your water all over her?" Jasper asked with a laugh. I shot a death glare at him just as Abby walked up with another water for me.
She took a double take as she caught sight of Emmett and Jasper, "Oh hello, I'm Abby and I'm going to be your waitress for the night. Can I get you something to drink?" she asked. I zoned out until I heard that giggle from the background.
"Oh god I'm such an idiot." I groaned out and Jasper nudged my shoulder sympathetically.
"Phew," Bella sighed as she sat down. "Good thing Alice showed up when she did because if she hadn't then I wouldn't have known that I'm fashion god."
"What?" Emmett asked in confusion as the girls giggled.
"Apparently my dress is just so in right now," Alice hit Bella's shoulder and I almost jumped out of my seat because it looked like it had really hurt.
Bella rubbed her shoulder as she continued to laugh, "So Chris called me right before I got here and he said they couldn't make it because he was going on a date with Jenny and Blake had some studying to do." Bella said before she grabbed her drink and took a sip. All I did was stare.
"That sucks…" Alice pouted. Abby walked up a little bit later and took our orders, after that I just sat silently in my chair trying not to humiliate myself any further tonight.
When it was time to pay for the bill Abby walked up and handed it straight to me with a certain smile on her face. I tried to open it but Bella quickly snatched it from my hands. "I don't think so, I'm paying for this one." She said and just as I was about to protest she opened it and then gasped.
We all stared at her with wide eyes and just as I was about to ask what was the matter she started to laugh uncontrollably. "What is it?" I asked in concern.
"I… think you were… oh my god this is so funny!" she squealed before throwing the black folder to me. I opened it and saw in lazy handwriting a note from Abby.
Hey Green Eyes how about you wait for me tonight and we can go off to my place and have some fun. My shift ends in thirty just wait for me outside.
My eyebrows rose so high and then I started cracking up. "I hardly said anything to her and she automatically thinks I'm into her?" I asked and I felt my start to blush again. What is up with me I never blush?
"Well what are you going to do?" Bella asked as she finished laughing.
I shrugged my shoulders as I put down a hundred and fifty down and then closed the folder. "Run."
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly, An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what JUST slipped out and what went wrong
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one
I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now... Starting now
One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire
I'm never speaking up again
it only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
than she desert me
oh I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
Starting now, starting now...
