BPOV
I sat in the back seat of the Volvo wondering what was in store for me. I was obviously being kept out of the loop. I tried to act like I wasn't interested but I really was! What was happening? Every so often there was a snort of laughter from someone, which only made me more confused. I guess I'll have to wait until I get there, wherever 'there' is.
We pulled up outside a restaurant. Well, I say restaurant, I really meant Toni's Pizza. I'd never seen it before. I never even knew it existed! Emmett helped me out of the car whilst Edward stood back and rolled his eyes.
"If I were you, love, I would enjoy his chivalry whilst it lasts." I smiled as Emmett gave his brother an evil look.
"What are you on about, I'm always full of chivalry-ness." I coughed trying to disguise my laughter. "What's chivalry again?" Emmett scratched his head making him look a little like a monkey.
"I'll explain later." Alice danced in front of us all. "Everyone knows what to do, right?" Everyone nodded. I stuck my hand in the air. "Yes Bella?"
"I don't know what to do." I looked around at everyone's expressions. Seriously, everyone looked as though I'd just asked if bananas were really yellow.
"Well duh! That's kind of the point." Rose spoke from behind me. "Can we just go in please?" Then before I got a chance to ask why I wasn't allowed to know what was going on I was caught in the current and was being pulled through the front door. I sighed and followed the crowd to a table near the windows.
Almost as soon as we had sat down a waitress came up to us and said, "Well, hi there! Welcome to Toni's! My name's Kellie and I'll be you're waitress for today. Can I get you folks something to drink?" She had long red hair and was extremely over enthusiastic.
"Yes thank you. I would like a broccoli and pickle smoothie for my girlfriend please." Emmett beamed as he squeezed his way in between me and my real boyfriend.
The smile disappeared off Kellie's face. "I'm afraid we don't serve them here. Can I get you something else?"
"Oh. It's just that she's craving at the moment. Weird I know but she really likes them don't you sweetie." He turned to me and tapped the end of my nose. I swatted him away.
"Can't get enough of them." I said with heavy sarcasm. Apparently, Kellie hadn't noticed I wasn't serious.
"Ohmigosh! Wow! Well in that case I'll see what I can do." And before I had a chance to protest she turned away and walked to the kitchen.
"Emmett! I don't want that!" I whispered trying not to draw any unnecessary attention towards myself.
"I love you too pumpkin!" He simply said, totally ignoring what I just said. I folded my arms in a huff and stared angrily ahead. I heard splutters of laughter but I don't know who it was. I would get them. I would get them all.
"Here we go! Freshly made for our mommy-to-be! Enjoy!" Kellie almost ran over and plopped the drink on the table in front of me. She hung around, waiting for me to take a sip and give her a 'thumbs up'. It looked vile. All green and lumpy. It made me feel sick.
"I can't drink this." I said pushing the tall glass away from me.
"Why ever not?" Kellie looked concerned as if she had made it all wrong or something.
"It's okay Bella, I know why." Alice leant over and patted my hand sympathetically. Finally, someone who was on my side. "No one's said grace." What the-
"In fact no-one in this room has said grace before they ate. How sinful!" Rose looked disgusted. "I don't know how all you people can live with yourselves! Shame on you." She stood up and scolded the entire restaurant. Everyone's eyes focused on our table. Some of the people in the room put down their food and hung their heads slightly.
"Bella is very religious." Emmett stage whispered to everyone. For some reason that made all of this more understandable for all of them. People nodded their heads and whispered to each other before bowing their heads and putting their hands together. "Bella, honey, would you like to do the honours?"
"Fine then, if you insist. Dear God. Thank you for this wonderful food you have provided for us all today." I stared down at the disgusting drink in front of me. Yeah, thanks a lot! "I also want to thank you for being a general good guy and never annoying me for entertainment and slash or amusement." I looked at the stupid grinning lump beside me. Emmett is such an idiot. "Amen."
"Amen" Everyone echoed before resuming eating and chatting loudly to one another.
"Well done sugar, that was perfect. Go on then, you can drink it now." Everyone was staring at me, waiting for me to taste it. Kellie was biting her lip in anticipation. It wasn't that exciting was it? Did this girl get out at all? I lifted the cup gingerly to my lips and took a sniff. I gagged. That was revolting! But it gave me an idea. I smelled it again, knowing it would have the same effect on me. I gagged again and set the glass on the table. One more for good measure, I gagged for a third time and knocked the glass over, spilling the lumpy green mixture all over the table. I stood up and ran to the bathroom. As soon as I was behind closed doors I let the smile spread across my face. I was supposed to be pregnant. When you are pregnant you get morning sickness. When you get mornning sickness you puke. Perfect excuse to leave the table.
I saw the door open and panicked for a second. Then I saw it was only Edward and relaxed and let the smile take over again.
"How are you? Were you sick?" His eyes were anxious and checking me over to make sure I was all right.
"I'm good thank you. In fact I'm more than good, I'm great! I don't have to drink that icky smoothie thing anymore! And, no I wasn't sick. It was just an act to get away from the table. Fooled? I think so." I held up my hand for a high five but was left hanging. I brought my hand back down and laughed at Edwards confused, yet stunningly beautiful, face. "What?"
"I really don't know. Anyway, I could tell you were getting annoyed with certain people out there." We both knew he meant Emmett. "But don't let them win! They have all bet me that they can make you loose your temper by the end of the day. I, of course, have betted against them." He shot me a cheeky grin that made my heart stop.
"Don't worry. I will not let them win if it's the last thing I do. Or not do. Do? I don't know what the right terminology is but I won't loose it." I finished blushing slightly. That sentence didn't come out right, I just ended up getting muddled. Edward's eyes were laughing at me even though his face was trying not to.
"Good, then let's go." He held out his arm for me to take and led me to the door.
I took my seat next to Emmett again. This time he cringed away from me and pulled a face. Sick human, yuck! I smiled at everyone and looked at the menu. "Sorry about that guys. Morning sickness. Pregnancy sucks." I looked at Alice and Rose in particular. I knew they would figure it out. But their faces stayed calm, trying not to give the game away. "So how are you going to annoy me now then? Whatever it is, I'm ready." My smile turned into a huge grin as everyone figured out that I knew about the bet. They all looked away from me.
Just at that moment, the moment when I thought I had won everyone, Jessica and Lauren walked through the door. Arms linked and chattering away I thought they had missed me. And they would have done if Emmett hadn't stood up and shouted, "Hey look everyone, it's Jessica and Lauren. Hi girls!" I pulled him down before he did anything else. Anyway, apparently this shout out was like a free invitation to sit at our table or something because they came sauntering over to us with slightly evil looks on their faces.
Oh dear! I can't picture this going well.
