Chapter 6-All I Want Is you
Wait, am I dreaming? Did Edward just ask me out? No, not possible. Did he say he broke up with Tanya?
"Huh?" I blinked as I tried to snap out of my stupor.
"Will you go out with me?" asked Edward with a crooked smile. "I promise that I am not a cheater."
"Um, yeah. I would like that." I responded shyly. That's an understatement. I think I see rainbows and stars and sunshine all at once. My insides are about to burst.
"How about tonight?" Yes! Wait, crap, no.
"I can't tonight. My grandparents are coming from Arizona and I have to visit with them," I said sadly. I saw a flash of disappointment in his eyes.
"Tomorrow?" he questioned.
"That's the dance. I promised Alice I would go with her. I can't ditch her. But maybe you can dance with me?" I asked hopefully. Would he bother to wait for me, or would he ask someone else? "I understand if you want to get a date for tomorrow," I said with despair in my voice. Please, please don't get another date.
"Bella, I'm not going to ask anyone else. I want to go with you. See you tomorrow." He walked into the gym and I had to pause to get control of myself. My heart was beating wildly and I had trouble breathing. I definitely needed to write every moment of this in my journal so I would remember this always. I walked into gym in a trance.
Poor Mike had to play badminton by himself because I was in Edward Cullen dreamland. I stared at Edward like an idiot for most of the period, until he smirked at me. Busted. Yeah, well, it was his fault for being so hot and sweaty and perfect.
"Don't forget about our dance tomorrow. The guys didn't believe me when I told them you would dance with me. They think you are like all of the other popular girls. I told them that you are different," Mike said proudly.
"Sure, Mike. I promised."
"You're not sick, are you? You seem kind of out of it," he said with concern in his voice.
"I'm fine, just distracted," I replied as I stared at Edward doing layups. "See you tomorrow."
The bell rang and I practically ran to change so I could tell Alice about my date.
"Oh my god, what happened? You look like you just met Robert Pattinson and he asked you to be his baby momma!" Alice squealed as we got in her car.
"Better." I could hardly contain myself.
"Not possible. There's no one as hot as Rob-"
"Edward asked me out and he said he broke up with Tanya!" I blurted out in one swift breath.
"You. Are. Shitting. Me." Alice looked stunned.
"I swear. I couldn't believe it either. He asked me out for tonight, but my grandparents are coming. And tomorrow is the dance, so we haven't set up a date yet."
"Why aren't you guys going to the dance together?"
"You know you are my date, Alice," I said with conviction and she smiled back at me. "Now tell me what happened during sixth with Jasper."
She sighed. "I totally screwed up. He said hi to me and I gave him a dirty look."
"Oh, Alice."
"Yeah, I know. I just had a flashback to freshman year and I freaked out."
"I told you what Edward said. Jasper likes you."
"Yeah, I know. It's just hard to believe it. It's been three years of misery. Bella, I'm so glad you are my best friend. Things have changed for me so quickly since you got here."
"For me too, Alice." She dropped me off at home with a promise to return early tomorrow to get ready for the dance.
"Isabella Marie! Look at you! You've gotten so big. You look like a little lady," my grandmother exclaimed as I walked in the house. They were dressed in their Arizona retirement finest. Polyester stretch pants, orthopedic shoes, and sweaters with little characters all over. Wow, getting old sucks. I hope my mom and dad won't dress like that.
"Hi, Grandma, hi Grandpa. It's good to see you." I hugged both of them hello.
"We're looking forward to a nice long visit with you sweetheart," my grandmother cooed, and my grandpa nodded at me.
"Hi Bells." My grandpa was a man of few words. Just like my dad. No complaints, here.
"Granmare and granpere who ez zis?" A young man grabbed my hand and kissed it. He was tall and looked like he should be on the cover of GQ. He had dirty blond hair, blue eyes, and a rockin' body. It was hard not to notice as he was wearing a wife beater and skintight jeans. Christ, he was huge-well, you know where. Daammmn. So hot. Must look away.
"This is our granddaughter, Isabella. Isabella, this is James Laurent. He is an exchange student who is living with us for this year. He's from France, dear. He's going to attend U of A," my grandmother explained. "He's about your age, Isabella. Maybe you can show him around tonight and help him make friends."
"Aren't we supposed to go to dinner tonight, Grandma?"
"We're too tired from our trip, sweetheart. Why don't you take James to see the sights?"
James looked at me and winked. "Eet wood be my plezure to meet zure friends." He looked like he checking me out.
I coughed and sputtered. "Yeah, sure." I ran into my room to call Alice.
"Alice! It's an emergency. Totally hot Euro stud at my house. I was temporarily blinded by his 'Le Dong,' but I think he wants me. I need backup."
"I'm on it. Be there in a minute." Thank god she lives next door.
About five minutes later she walked in my room, laughing. "Oh that James is a charmer. Come on, we're going shopping."
"What? Wait. I don't think it's a good idea to go somewhere with a hot guy. What if he tries something? He totally kissed my hand and winked at me."
"Bella, he was looking at your outfit. He just wants to go shopping. He likes designers. He's completely fabulous. Don't you have any 'gaydar' at all?" She laughed at me. "Suddenly you are Miss Popular since Edward Cullen asked you out?"
"Oh, crap. I'm an idiot."
"Come on, let's show 'Le Donger' all the hot spots in Port Angeles."
James was fabulous. I loved listening to his accent, and he was a great shopping partner. Alice absolutely adored him, and he helped us pick several hot outfits for our dates (hopefully) with our dream guys. Alice was practically drooling as he described the newest Paris fashion trends over dinner. We had decided to eat at a diner in the mall to get 'American' food.
"I'll be back. I've gotta pee," Alice hurried to the restroom. James and I continued to talk about guys. I told him about how hot Edward was, and I laughed as he said he was going to steal him away.

"Come on Jasper, I'm hungry. Let's get a table." We approached the diner and as I looked through the window, I noticed a beautiful, laughing brunette. Bella. My heart soared at the sight of her, then it crashed into my chest. She wasn't alone. She was sitting with some blond guy. They were laughing and talking. She was on a date. She lied to me. Grandparents my ass! I turned and walked away with Jasper following behind me.
