I do not own Twilight.
Hello :D. Almost 200 reviews!! Do you think we can make it?!
Oh yeah, girls, there's this guy that I've had my eye on for a REAAAALLLLY long time and he keeps smiling at me and whenever I'd pass him in the hallway he'd look straight in the eye. Any good signs there? Well, enough with my personal life, let's get on with Bella's!
BPOV
The next week passed by fast. With the math test I aced, Alice's constant voice asking me for opinions on colors, decor, and guests for my 21st, it was pretty much a blur. Except for the glares I got from almost every single girl whenever Edward would hold my hand.
The phone rang throughout the empty apartment.
"Hello?"
"Bella?"
"Edward! What's up?"
"Just wondering what you were doing. Jasper & Emmett are being dragged off by Alice and Rosalie to pick out presents for you."
"I'm completely bored out of my mind. How come you didn't go with them?"
"I already have my present for you, don't you worry your pretty little head," he mused.
"You didn't have to get me anything!" I said, remembering all the past birthdays. "Can you come over? I'm seriously gonna die of boredom."
"Sure. I'd hate for you to die," he joked. "I'll be there in 15 minutes."
"Bye." I said before hanging up. I suddenly remembered I was still in my pj's. I ran back to my room to pick out my outfit for the day. Ugh, Alice's rubbing off of me. I settled on some jean shorts and a blue t shirt. After attempting to brush my hair, I heard a pounding from my window.
I saw Edward, up on the fire escape ladder. I rushed over to the window and opened it for him.
"Are you crazy?!" I asked.
"Nope." He responded, brushing off his jeans. "And what fun would that be if I went up the stairs?"
I laughed and hugged him before we plopped down on my bed. Edward grabbed my acoustic guitar and started playing random riffs.
"Have you thought of anything to play for the ball?"
"I was thinking of doing a cover of a song. Paramore?"
"Which one?"
"Decode or Pressure," I answered, reaching over for my stereo remote and hitting play. Decode began to play and Edward soon followed the riff, playing along.
The song ended and he handed me the guitar.
"It's pretty simple," He sat me up against his chest, his arms draped over mine to guide me with the fingerings. "But it's not that much if it's only you."
"Well, I kinda figured out Pressure." I began playing the chords, and humming the words.
"You should sing it," He said, a smile on his face.
"You know I can't sing."
"Bella, Bella, Bella. What am I gonna do with you? You really don't see yourself clearly." He kissed my hair softly. "You're perfect."
"Being mushy again?" I laughed.
"I can try, can't I?" He joked.
"I'll figure it out later. Do you want to watch a movie or something? My fingers are starting to hurt."
"Sure. What do you have?"
I made my way over to my DVD rack, filled with all kinds of movies. "Pick."
"You should pick one too. I don't think they're gonna be back any time soon." I nodded and we picked out DVD's. He chose Kung Fu Panda. So Edward.
"She's the man?" Edward asked, studying the cover.
"It's funny!" Edward just laughed and popped the disc into my DVD player.
...
"Wakey wakey, sleepy heads!!" I heard Alice's voice. I rubbed my eyes and sat up.
"Finally! Geez, you were knocked out!" Emmett said. I shook Edward awake.
"Hnn? I'm alive, don't worry." He sat up. I heard the doorbell ring.
"I'll get it!!!" Alice skipped to the door, me following.
There was a delivery guy, from Fedex, holding something all wrapped up in plastic, a hanger coming out from the top.
"Ms. Isabella Swan?" I stepped forward. "Sign?" I signed the board and he handed me the big plastic thing.
"What is it?" Rosalie asked. I unwrapped it and saw a royal blue gown. It had a keyhole front and was very ruffly. And sparkly. Mom didn't mention that part.
"Oh. My. God. That look GORGEOUS!!" Alice squealed.
"There's another dress." I lifted out a satin white and blue polka dotted dress with a bow.
"That looks pretty too! Go try them on!" Alice pushed me to the bedroom, tossing me the two dresses. I tried the white one first, since it was the easiest to put on. I heard a knock from the door.
"Yeah?"
"It's Alice and Rosalie. Can we come in?"
"Yup." I twirled in the mirror to get a better look. Alice looked thrilled and Rose had a smile on her face.
"It looks perfect on you," Rose complimented.
I smiled. "Thanks."
"Try on the other one!" Gosh, I've never seen Alice this happy since I wore a dress to graduation. I unzipped myself out of the white dress and Rose and Alice helped me into the gown. The fit was perfect, hugged all of my curves and then flowing out into a dark sea of ruffles and sparkles. The keyhole front rested snugly against my chest.
"You look absolutely gorgeous Bella!" Rose and Alice chorused together.
"Are you decent?" Edward, Jasper and Emmett came in, covering their eyes.
"Yeah, I have clothes on," I said. They uncovered their eyes and their eyes widened. I probably looked like an alien now.
"Wow," Edward whispered. I couldn't help but smirk at his ogling.
"Now I know she's gonna fall off the stage." Emmett commented. Rosalie smacked him.
"How come you have two dresses?" Jasper asked.
"This one's for the modeling competition," I gestured to the white dress. "And this is the formal introductions one." I pointed to the one I was wearing.
Jasper just looked confused and shrugged. They all left, leaving me and Edward alone.
"You look so gorgeous, you know that?" Edward whispered as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Really?," I mumbled, looking into the guitar. To me, even in that dress, I looked plain next to Edward, the gorgeous, good-at-everything soccer player.
"Like I said, you don't see yourself clearly," Edward repeated, planting a kiss on my lips. He rested his head on top of mine. "I'll let you change."
"I wasn't done kissing you yet." He chuckled and pressed his lips against mine again while I involuntarily threw myself at him.
"Breathe, Bella." He reminded me when we broke apart. "Now you should change. Your mom won't be that happy when she sees that dress all wrinkled up."
As soon as he closed the door, I changed out of my dress and met the rest in the living room.
"Bella, you have shoes yet?" Alice asked me.
"Shoes for what?" I asked as Edward pulled me into his lap.
"For your dresses, of course!"
"I was thinking of wearing my old converse for the modeling part. I can't walk a flat stable surface with any shoe with a heel."
"Oh yes you will. And you'll like it." Alice stated.
"And Edward will catch you when you fall," Emmett added. I shot a glare at him. Edward just chuckled and hugged me tight in his arms.
"We need to look for shoes. We're going shopping tomorrow," Alice said to Rosalie.
How many times does that girl have to go to the mall?!?!
