On my way home I was driving in my silver Volvo when I received a text message: You're going to meet mine and big oafs lady friends. –J
I replied with a quick okay and can't wait to meet them.
A few hours later I was sitting on my couch sitting in the dark starting to feel guilty for ignoring Jasper a few days ago. Of course this is my karma. Not listening to important conversations that would be useful in the near future.
Whenever I pull into my parent's home it always brings back emotions that I only got when I'm there. So here I am feeling the sense of comfort and love. As I walk through the door I have no idea what to expect; I was surprised to hear absolutely nothing. Not Esme talking, Emmett's booming laughter, or even any unfamiliar voices of the women I'm supposed to be meeting; nothing.
As I got closer to the kitchen I could hear really low, almost as if they weren't there, whispers. I couldn't understand what they were saying but could hear the noise.
I walked through the passageway of the kitchen saw a very small woman with black spiky hair who reminded me of someone for my past; I couldn't quite put a name to her. She was wearing a black long sleeve V-neck shirt, gold skirt with black lace over it, and tan boots.
To her right was a tall beautiful woman with long blonde hair. She had on a strapless black and white dress and dark blue heels, which made her, look even taller.
Both of them were talking to Esme who had tears in her eyes.
"Hey, ma. What're you pretty ladies talking about in here?" I tried to keep things light to keep my mother from crying infront of her guests'.
Esme looked at me with a faint smile and spoke, "oh, just one of Alice and Rosalie's friends. Have you been properly introduced yet?"
"I don't believe we have. I'm Alice Brandon and this is one of my best friends Rosalie Hale. Edward, I believe that we went to school together. You were a year older so that's why you probably won't remember me. But we did have gym and art together one year." So that's how I knew her.
"That's right! You were the girl that beat up all the guys that would make fun of your pixie qualities."
First she glared at me, then gave a laugh to let me know she was just kidding around, "yeah, that was me. The pixie."
My brothers then decided to grace us with their presence.
Emmett was laughing at something that I'm guessing Jasper was saying, "I see Edward that you met the ladies." He smiled at Rosalie. Who looked over at me.
"Hi, Edward. You can call me Rose. It's nice to finally meet the last Cullen."
"The pleasure's all mine. Mom, how much longer do you think it'll take the Lasagna? I'm starved."
"You boy's go set the table while it cools then it should be done." She certainly knows how to get us motivated: her food.
On our way to the dining room Emmett came up to me and whispered in my ear, "so what do ya think of her?"
"I think both of them are perfect for you. I must say Jazz that yours I never thought I would see again."
As soon as we finished my mother came in with the girls following carrying the food, "alright boy's it finished."
I would have to say that this was one of the best family dinner's I've had. It was easy to get along with the girls and conversation flowed easily. I found out that Alice and Rose own a clothing boutique together. Alice has her own line and Rose mostly manages. They have a best friend who just moved back a few years ago who they always help to watch her daughter. So their pretty busy.
As dinner comes to an end we start to say our goodbyes when Alice comes up to me to give me a hug. She leans into me putting her mouth by my ear, "you'll find someone perfect for you too. I have the perfect person in mind also," she whispers.
Before I can wrap my mind around what she just said Em's obnoxious laughter fills the house. And with that everyone leaves; with me just standing there.
