Its time again for Alice's favorite game… Bella barbie. Gah I hate this. I wish she would let me dress myself. "Ooh Bella I have the perfect outfit for tonight." She squealed with delight as the door bell rang.
"Oh Alice do we really have to play Bella barbie tonight?" I said as I walked to answer the door. "Hey! What are you doing here?" I asked the drop dead gorgeous blonde super model look a like that is our new friend Rosalie.
"Alice called me earlier today and told me that both of you are coming to the show tonight and she needed my help." She smiled carrying a large Prada bag filled with hair products. From what I could see in the bag, there was a blow dryer, flat iron, hair spray and a million other different bottles and jars. It was kind of intimating. As soon as we walked through the door, Alice greeted us. She practice pushed me up the stairs and into the shower.
In the safe refuge of the nice hot shower I start to think. Wow Edward is such a great catch. He is so prefect…too prefect to not have a girlfriend. Why didn't ask him if he was seeing any one. I told him I am my ex, Jake and what happen with him. And that I have been single since then. Why didn't I say 'Hey Edward are you single?'? Why am I so dumb. I finished washing my body and hair with having to think about it. It was like I was like my body was auto pilot a my mind could on thing of one thing the beautiful musician Edward that I have been head over heels in love with since the moment his emerald green eyes met my chocolate brown ones.
A sharp rapping at the door torn me out of my thoughts. "Bella, are you okay in there? "Did you drown and get sucked down the drain?" Alice asked from the other side of the door.
"I am okay Ali. I will be out in a moment." I said as I finished my shower. I got out toweling myself off and wrapped my bath robe tying it around myself. When I got to my room I saw that Rose and Alice had set up a chair in front of mirror with all of their hair and make up products set up on my desk. Rose look at me with a semi evil gleam in her eyes as she held a heavy duty, salon style blow dry.
The next few hours will a blur of pokes of make up brushes, pulls and tugs on my hair and then the many different outfits they had me try on. Finally they decided on a midnight blue halter top, a pair of light wash jeans and a pair heels. Why do they have to torture me? Alice knows how clumsy I am. Heels and Bella are not a good combo at all. It always ends with me flat on my face and me looking like the biggest ass. Oh my god! I am going to die tonight and these heels will be my death.

I have been on cloud nine since Bella and I had coffee last night. She is so perfect, but I don't think she knows it. Last night we learned a lot about each other. I love every thing about her, even little odd childhood habits like her crayons would marry each other and the couples had be next to each. (A/N: That is a weird thing I used to do as a child.) She even told me how red and purple would fight over blue and yellow would get stuck with brown. Things like that just make her more appealing to me. I know that she is single, but I didn't get the chance to tell hear I was single as well. But I will show her.
**********
Its getting close to 7 PM, we have to be at the club at 8 PM. I took a quick shower and change into a vintage Ramones tee shirt. I also packed a shirt to change into. I don't want to stink too bad when I see her again. I threw an under shirt and a black button up shirt into my messenger bag. Also into the bag I put deodorant and cologne. Oh yeah Rose is going to make fun of my bag or as she fondly refers to it as my merse or man purse.
I quickly pulled on my shoes and rushed over to Em and Rose's apartment where we were meeting up at to ride over to the show. I parked my car and started walking towards the van where I could see everyone is waiting for me.
"Nice merse Eddie!" Rose said to me just like I expected.
With some bite in my voice I said "Rose what did I tell you about calling me Eddie? You know I hate it and its not a merse it a messenger bag." I was literally growled. She just grinned at me as I got in and made my way to my seat in the back. I put in my headphones for my iPod. I really didn't feel like talking, I just wanted to think about her, the girl of my dreams that I need and want with a fiery passion.
Every song that play we exactly what I felt toward Bella. The first song to play, which has been my favorite for a long time and I didn't realize why until I met her. Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison rang in my ears. Oh how I wish she was my brown eyed girl.
Hey where did we go, Days when the rains came Down in the hollow, Playin' a new game, Laughing and a running hey, hey Skipping and a jumping In the misty morning fog with Our hearts a thumpin' and you My brown eyed girl, You my brown eyed girl.
The song continued to play as I day dreamed of Bella finally being mine. I don't mean to sound so possessive. But I want her to mine and mine only. I don't want to share her with any other man.
The next song came and yet another song about how I feel about Bella.
Ah Cheap Trick, "I Want You to Want me. That is exactly what I want. I want her to want me just as much as I want her.
I want you to want me. I need you to need me. I'd love you to love me. I'm beggin' you to beg me. I want you to want me. I need you to need me. I'd love you to love me. I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt. I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me. Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'? Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'? Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'. Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'? I want you to want me. I need you to need me. I'd love you to love me. I'm beggin' you to beg me. I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt. I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me. Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'? Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'? Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'. Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'? Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'. Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'? I want you to want me. I need you to need me. I'd love you to love me. I'm beggin' you to beg me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me.
As the my iPod continued to shuffle playing songs, it played more songs that sum up my feels for her. It was like my iPod could sense what I was feeling and thinking about and play song accordingly. It must be mind read as well as a MP3 player. Wow Apple you have figure how to make your product into a mind reader and I didn't even know it. I chuckled a little. With that ever in the van turned back to stare at me to see what was so funny. I pulled the ear bud from ear. "What? What's the staring for?" I asked the 3 set of eyes that were transfixed on me.
"You have been humming lyrics to those sappy love songs, I know you have on there even though you deny it. Who's the girl? Is it that cute little brunette from last night?" Emmett questions as he turned his head to focus back on the road.
"No I am not thinking about any girl dude. You know I am just a sucker for sappy love song." I knew I was a horrible liar and I knew this lie was really transparent.
"What ever you say dude! You know we know you better than that and if I heard correctly through the grapevine this girl, I believe her name is Bella and you went out for coffee last night. And she was home until after 2 AM." Jasper said with a knowing smile.
"What about you man? You hung out with Alice for a while last night. What happened there?" I asked trying avert the attention from Bella and me to Jasper and Alice.
"Edward, Alice is great. I knew from the moment that bump into her last night I felt this deep connection with her. We spent most of the night…" Emmett cut off Jasper quickly.
"Spent the entire night having many, many rounds of sex." Emmett just start laughing.
"No! We just met. We hung out, just drinking coffee and talking. I learned so much about her life. And in turn I bared my entire soul to her. Before I left I asked her out on a date tomorrow night and also I invite her and her room mate, Bella to the show tonight." He stressed the E of her name. He said it so childish.
Rose just smile then said, "So Edward what do you think about Bella?".
I just smiled that dopey smile. They knew what I my answer was. Just then we were pulling up into the back alley way of the club. As Emmett parked the van as close to the back door he turn to me as Jasper and Rose hopped out of the van. "Oh my god Edward! You have that gleam in your eye. I know that look perfectly. Your in love man!" I smiled at him. "Yes, I think I love her. I know I have only know her for less then 24 hours. But I knew from the moment I saw her standing outside waiting to get into the venue and when I saw her in the front row last night. And when we went out for coffee last night, oh my, that was it. I knew that I was head over heels in love with her." I admitted to him.
I knew at the moment what I had to do. I knew that Rose was over at Bella and Alice's apartment earlier tonight. I need to take to her and find out what she knows. Girls must take about guys when they are together. You always see girls gossiping about boys on TV and in the movies. Rose must know something.
**********
After loading everything out of the van and into the club, Jasper and Em were setting up our equipment on the stage, I went up to the small balcony in the back where Rosalie was setting up our merch table. "Hey Rose! So how are Alice and Bella when you went over to their place earlier? Emmett told me that Alice called this after noon and then you rush off to their place." I tried to place it cool as I asked about her.
"Bella is great Eddie! Alice just told me they are walking right now." As Rose said that I whipped my head around towards the front and so the girl of my dreams a midnight blue halter top, skinny jeans and a pair heels. Damn she looks so delicious in that color. Everyone else in the club disappeared as she walked towards us. My angel floated gracefully. What a second? My angel? Do I have the right to even think of her some day being mine? Well guess everybody can dream.
Finally she reach where we were, I was afraid to speak because of the possibility of my mouth betraying my brain. She stood next to me and touched my arm. "Hello, Edward." She said in a sweet sultry voice that she probably had no clue she was using.
I was completely flabbergasted. Come on Edward you need to say something before she walks away and you never have a chance. "Hello." My voice broke a little. I quickly tried to cover my voice cracking my clearing my throat. "Hello Bella, you look beautiful." I said cool.
"Thanks I guess. Are you saying I was beautiful last night? I guess I must have been ugly last night." She said.
I was really floored by her comment. "I… I didn't mean it that way…. You are always beautiful." I smiled and tried to my blush.
"I was only pulling you leg Edward." She was grinning. I would love you to be doing something else too. A wicked grin slowly spread across my face. Bad Edward. I mentally slapped my had for this impure thoughts.

What did you just say? Did you really say that he must think you were ugly yesterday? Well that could be true. I know I am not stunning beauty super model looking woman like Rosalie or ever compact ball of energy and perfection like Alice. I am just plain old me. Nothing too special, just another plain Jane that a dime a dozen. He just smiled at me. I guess my comment didn't cut him too deep.
"I am sorry Bella, I didn't me to offend you. I have to go get ready for our set." Edward said.
"You didn't offend me. I was only joking." I said as I pulled him into a hug. "Good luck Edward!"
*********
We stayed in the balcony during their set. The floor was totally packed with wall to wall people. During their set Jasper and Emmett's eyes were completely fixated on Alice and Rose. I would periodically catch Edward stealing long glance at me. They dedicated that last song to good friends and new friends alike.
After there set was over went back to the merch table to wait for the guys.
"Hey you two, can you watch the merch and sell stuff for a while? I really have to pee." Rose said as she made her way down the balcony steps.
The next thing I knew 3 girls we approaching us. "Hey ladies, how are you?" Alice asked. They mumbled answer and something about thinking that the bassist player is really hot and something about jumping. Alice started fuming.
"Do you guys want to buy anything?" I asked know full well Alice might kill them.
Well the bitchy blonde who had a look that she was going to give me a hard said "Well all three of want a cd, I want the black shirt in a small. She wants the blue shirt in a medium and she wants the white shirt in a extra small and that sticker." She said as she point the merchandise and her friends.
"Okay your total is $25, her total is $25 and her total $26." I pointed to her and her friends as I got out what they want out of the big Rubbermaid containers. They paid me and I gave them their stuff. After they left there was a steady flow of people making purchases. It was over an hour. Damn do I need to send out a search party for Rose? Oh wait I might not want to do that. God only know what she is doing in the "restroom".
Finally, Edward and Jasper approached us. Both had changed their clothes. "Hey how did you guys get stuck doing merch?" Jasper asked.
"Rose used the old I have to pee line." I laughed.
"Yeah she used that on us more that once." Edward smiled.
"Well you guys see me really good. We need some good merch girls on tour. And I know Rose hates being the only girl on tour in a van with three stinky guys." Jasper smiled. "Well that if you guys aren't busy this summer and would like to see the country out of band van window."
We both agreed. My summer schedule was completely free because summer time is a slow time for freelance writers like myself. Next I knew we were packing the marching and heading out to get some late night pizza with the guys at some late pizza place.
