Chapter 10: Romantic Evenings + Smug Schemers
Emmett POV
Sitting on the couch with my Rosie in my arms was absolutely perfect. She's definitely my perfect girl smart, tough, fun and beautiful. Did I mention beautiful? I felt really bad about saying those horrible things to her even if was just an act. I'm glad she understands.
Jasper and Alice are in the chair all snuggled up like bugs in a rug. And Bella and Edward are, hopefully, getting together right about now. If they don't Edward is seriously getting some crap. He better not pull the "Oh she's better than me" crap. And she better not pull the "Oh he's better than me" crap either. We went through a lot of hard work to get those two together so they should to do the nice thing and just go through with our plan!
Anyways, we're watching the "Amityville horror". Alice is so scared and keeps screaming at every little thing. Rose just seems bored.
"Gosh this movie is so fake," she complains.
"No it's not it's awesome Rosie now be quiet or I'll make you be quiet," I threaten with a grin. She smirks challengingly back at me.
"Go ahead and try." I lean in really close to her and whisper,
"Are you sure you want to do that?" She nods still smirking but I can hear her breathing unevenly.
"You get one more chance and I'll have to take drastic measures," I warn her with a smirk. She grins and then begins to open her mouth to make a comment but before she can I crash my lips to hers and silence her. She doesn't even resist. I pull away though and chuckle.
"Ha it worked," I would never miss a chance to gloat. She just smiles. Shakes her head and pulls me in for another kiss. Damn she's a good kisser. I should have asked her out years ago.
I smile into her lips. Rosalie giggles.
"Hey can you two keep it down some of us are trying to watch a movie," Alice says with a smirk.
"Please Alice you've been hiding your face practically the whole time," Rose shoots back. Alice laughs. We settle down and turn our attention back to the movie.
Suddenly Alice's cell rings.
"Hello?" We hear muffled speaking. Alice smiles and starts to laugh silently.
"It's Bella," she mouths. We smile. I can hear more muffled speaking.
"Put it on speaker," I say. Alice turns it on speaker and we can hear Bella loud and clear.
"Ok what did you do? Where are we?" We all laugh silently.
"Why Bella don't you know?" Alice asks innocently. She smirks at us.
"Alice why are we at a restaurant? Why do I feel like we've been set up?" Bella's voice takes on an accusatory tone.
"Cause you have," Alice says grinning from ear to ear. "Say hi everybody."
"Hi Bella!" we all shout.
"You guys suck," Edward's voice says. I don't miss the undertone of amusement though.
"No we blow," I say with a grin. Jasper and Edward laugh, Alice and Bella giggle and Rosie smacks my head.
"Ow," I complain.
"That's what you get," she says but I can see her smile. I kiss her quickly.
"So I'm guessing the whole fight between Emmett and Rose was fake then huh?" Bella says.
"Yup," I say.
"You guys are evil, evil people," Edward says.
"Oh just go on have fun on your date," Alice commands.
"But," Bella protests.
"But nothing," Rosalie says.
"Bye now!" Alice says and then hangs up the phone. We all laugh.
"Alice you are so devious," Jasper says.
"Thank you," Alice says proudly, "Now can we watch the movie please?" We watch the rest of the movie. When it's over Alice gets up and takes it out.
"Now it's mine and Alice's turn to pick the movie," Rose says with a devious grin.
"Fine but no chick flicks please," I say.
"We make no promises," Alice says. I groan. Jasper just shakes his head.
"Our girlfriends are evil masterminds," he says.
"You can say that again," I mutter as Alice pops in "Titanic". Alice climbs back onto Jasper's lap.
"Come on it's a good movie don't be such babies," Rose says. I roll my eyes.
"Shh the movie's starting," Alice says already staring at the TV like it was going to grow legs and walk away. I pout and look at the screen. The old lady is just discovering that they found her drawing. Whoop-de-doo.
The movie goes on and as it gets to the part when the ship is sinking and Rose and Jack are saving each other and bla bla bla, my Rose and Alice are crying. Jasper is smiling down at his crying little pixie and I just roll my eyes. Rose hits my arm.
"It's a beautiful story. If we were on a ship and it was sinking wouldn't you save me?"
"Of course I would Rose, but there's no need to be so dramatic about it," Rose just rolls her eyes are continues crying at the screen. I roll my eyes again Chicks. I wonder how Bella and Edward's date is going...
Bella POV
"I can't believe Emmett and Rose had a fight," I say to Edward as we're driving to the club Alice and Jasper had given us directions too.
"I know, I hope they can work it out. Emmett was being a real jerk," he replies keeping his eyes on the road.
"Ya but Rose can be a bit touchy sometimes. I'm sure they'll work it out though especially considering she's in-" I stop just in time. I'm pretty sure Rose would kill me if I told Edward that she's in love with Emmett. Well at least she's supposedly in love with him.
"In what?" he asks. I bite my lip and shake my head. He looks at me for a brief second to pout.
"Aw come on please tell me. I won't tell," he continues pouting.
"Keep your eyes on the road," I command, avoiding the subject, although the fact that he's not watching the road does freak me out. My father is a policeman. I've learned to abide by the rules, well at least I try to.
"Not until you tell me," he says childishly still pouting. Ugh his pout is so cute. Oh well if Rose finds out I can say that he threatened me.
"Fine but watch the road!" he turns his eyes back to the road, a triumphant smile on his face.
"Ok so tell me," he demands. I sigh.
"Alright well Rose told me and Alice that she was... in love... with Emmett," I say. I'm so dead. Edward looks shocked.
"Really? That's good," he says. His expression turns from shocked to a big grin.
"Well ya I guess but what do you mean?" I ask confused.
"Well I'm pretty sure Emmett loves her back. He hasn't actually said it yet but I'm sure he will soon. Well once they get over this fight," he says his smile turning into a frown. I suddenly had the strong desire to turn his frown upside down. And yes I know that's so corny.
"Well do you think Jasper and Alice have said it yet? I mean it's obvious looking at them but have they said it?" I ask, trying to change the subject.
"I'm not sure. And your right it is pretty obvious," he says with a grin. I smile. There, mission accomplished.
The rest of the ride we talk about random things. I learn a lot about him. Like the fact that he actually doesn't like girls like Lauren and Jessica back home. I let myself get a bit hopeful. Finally we reach our destination, although it isn't quite what we expect. The outside is a small building with a rose garden and a sign that says The Rose Garden Bistro. We get out of car.
"This is so not a club," Edward says.
"Thank you captain obvious," I reply. Sarcasm, it's my weakness.
"Why does this smell strongly of our four friends who just happened to have, unfortunately not been able to come," he says.
"They are so evil," I say. I pull my cell phone out of my purse.
"Who are you calling?"
"Alice," I reply. I press the speed dial for her number and listen to it ring. After the third ring she picks up.
"Hello?"
"Alice you are so busted. Edward and I are at our destination and this is not a club," silence on the other end.
"Ok what did you do and where are we?" I demand. I put the phone on speaker so Edward can hear.
"Why Bella don't you know?" Alice asks innocently. I don't buy it for a second.
"Alice why are we at a restaurant? Why do I feel like we've been set up?" I say accusingly.
"Cause you have," Alice says proudly. "Say hi everybody."
"Hi Bella!" I can hear Rose, Jasper and Emmett chorus in the back ground.
"You guys suck," Edward says. He's trying to hide a smile though. I just shake my head.
"No we blow," I can hear Emmett say. Jasper's voice and Edward laugh, Alice's voice and I giggle and I can hear the sound of a hand smacking something hollow.
"Ow," Emmett complains.
"That's what you get," Rose's voice says. Hmm Emmett's head, well it is hollow. I grin.
"So I'm guessing the whole fight between Emmett and Rose was fake then huh?" I ask. That would explain some things.
"Yup," Emmett says. Edward grins but I can't help but notice the relief that shows on his face. I understand I definitely didn't want to have to deal with Emmett and Rose fighting on this trip.
"You guys are evil, evil people," Edward says.
"Oh just go on have fun on your date," Alice commands.
"But," I protests. I don't really mind but I know that if I don't protest Edward would know something was up.
"But nothing," Rosalie says.
"Bye now!" Alice says and then hangs up the phone. I look at the phone in my hand for a second then I put it back in my bag.
"Well I guess they've spoken and now we have to go on this "date"," I say. I put air quotes around the word date. I don't want him thinking that I'm using our friends' plan as an excuse to go on a date with him.
"Or it could be a real date," Edward says shyly. I stare at him in surprise. Not only did he technically just ask me out on a date but he was shy. Edward Cullen was shy. I wish I had my camera. I guess he takes it the wrong way though because he quickly adds,
"Well only if you want it to be I mean it would just be a friends dinner but you know a date would be fine and our friends you know would kill us for not going through with their plan to set us up and," I cut him off.
"It's fine Edward really, I was just a bit surprised that's all," I give him a reassuring smile. I hope my excitement isn't too obvious. I'm going on a date with Edward! I'm going on a date with Edward! The mini Bella inside my head does a little dance. I can feel my face turning red. Edward sees it and smirks. I do the mature thing and stick out my tongue. He chuckles. Gone is shy Edward and back is confident Edward.
We walk into the little restaurant. It's not very busy. Apparently they were expecting us. We get seated at a secluded corner with a reserved sign on the table, Alice's work no doubt. Edward chuckled.
"Is she always this enthusiastic?"
"Oh yes. But you know I'll bet she didn't plan this alone. At least they didn't go too overboard," I say.
"That would have been scary," he says.
"Definitely," I agree. We sit down at the small table and the waitress immediately walks over and hands us the menus.
"Is there anything I can get you?" she asks. She says this directly to Edward. I roll my eyes.
"Bella?" I look at Edward. "Are you getting anything to drink?"
"Umm.... I'll have some coffee please," I say, knowing Alice and Rose would kill me if they knew I was ordering coffee on this date. They'd want me to order something like wine.
"You know Alice and Rosalie won't be too happy if you tell them you got coffee," Edward says, voicing my thoughts. I grin deviously.
"I know," Edward grins and orders a coffee too. The waitress smiles "flirtatiously" at Edward one more time then heads into the kitchen.
"God some people have no dignity," I say rolling my eyes.
"Huh?" Edward says.
"Did you see how that waitress looked at you like you were a prize or a piece of meat? It was so obvious," I say. Edward still looks confused. "You didn't notice?" I ask. Maybe it's a girl thing? Or maybe it's just a me thing? Am I jealous?" I internally widen my eyes. I've never really been the jealous type. Does Edward have that much of an effect on me? Edward grins.
"Jealous?" Dang it's like he can read my mind.
"No," I reply. Lie. I've always been a horrible liar.
"Liar," he says. Gah stop reading my mind! I glare at him.
"I'm not reading your mind your just a very bad liar," My mouth drops open and he chuckles.
"Will you stop that?!" I exclaim. He just laughs. I pout and look at the table.
"Oh don't be mad, I think it's cute that you're jealous. Besides I was jealous of that guy back at the Holiday Inn," he says. I look up and smile.
"Really?" I ask.
"Ya I was, so now we're even," he says with a smile. Awww! He was jealous! I can't wait to see Alice and Rose and tell them all about this! I just stare at him grinning like an idiot and then the waitress comes back with our coffees.
"Thank you," Edward says. I thank her too as politely as I can manage while she's gawking at Edward. Why don't you take a picture it'll last longer!
"So Bella what would you like to eat?" Edward asks me.
"Umm...," I glance down at the menu and then find something I know will piss off Alice and Rose, "I'll have a cheeseburger please," I say with a grin. I hand the menu to the waitress. Edward chuckles.
"And what can I get you?" she asks Edward, her tone implying that she's not just talking about the food. I roll my eyes. Edward notices and smirks.
"I'll have a cheeseburger too please," he says and winks at me. My heart practically jumps out of my chest. Get a hold of yourself Bella! The waitress takes him menu and with one more "flirtatious" smile she leaves. "They are going to kill us when we get back," Edward says.
"I know," I say with a grin. "They'll probably have heart attacks first though."
"Wow they weren't kidding when they said that you're devious," he says with a crooked grin. Is he trying to kill me?
"Only when I want to be. Alice is the true mastermind of our little threesome," I reply, hoping my voice sounds normal.
"What does that make Rosalie then?"
"Well Rose is an evil genius too. Actually if it wasn't for Rose and Alice being so crazy I probably wouldn't have had half of the adventures that we've had," I stare off into space, reminiscing and then I realize that I just trailed off and I blush and look down. I raise my eyes a little from the spot on the table they were fixated on so I can see his face and am surprised to see that he actually looks... interested. Like what I say matters to him.
"Well they are crazy. If it weren't for Emmett Jasper and I wouldn't have gotten into as much trouble as we have, and if it weren't for Jasper Emmett and I would probably be in jail by now," he grins. I giggle, that sounds like them alright. We continue talking about anything and everything until the waitress comes back with our cheeseburgers.
"Thank you," we say. My mouth starts to water. Damn this looks good. I smile at Edward. He picks up his burger.
"Cheers! To the last meal we will probably ever eat once Rose and Alice find out about it," he grins and I lift my burger and touch mine to Edward's like they were wine glasses.
"Cheers!" We eat our delicious burgers in comfortable silence. Once we're done we wait for the waitress to come around and take our plates.
"That was good," I say.
"Yes it was. Do you think it was good enough to compensate for the tongue lashing we'll get once we get back to the hotel?" Edward says. I pretend to think about it for a few seconds then smile at him.
"Definitely," I say. The waitress comes by and takes our plates.
"Is there anything I can get you for desert?" she says. Edward looks at me. I shrug.
"Can we see the menu?" he says.
"Sure, I also am supposed to tell you a message now from 'The Fantastic Four'." She pulls out a slip of paper. "It says, 'Get dessert and get something you can share. Do it or else you will pay.'" Edward and I laugh. I look at him with a smile.
"Should we?"
"I'm not sure. Is giving up dessert really necessary for annoying them?" I think about it for a second. Idea!
"I have a brilliant idea!" I turn to the waitress. "We won't be needing the menus. Can we have the bill please?"
---- - -------- --------------- ------------ ------------
We walk down the sidewalk with an ice cream cone each. It is almost midnight and we were still able to find an ice cream shop open. They said we had to get dessert right? So we did. Ice cream is dessert. They also said we had to get something we could share. Well for the past ten minutes we had been stealing each other's ice cream cone so technically we were sharing. Edward agreed it was a brilliant plan.
We spend our walk back to the restaurant parking lot stealing each other's ice cream and talking about more random things in our lives. I tell Edward about how I had tried to take Ballet once and I was so bad that they actually had given us a full refund just to get me to stop going. He laughs so hard he almost drops his ice cream.
He tells me about when he, Emmett and Jasper had been signed up for baseball. The three of them had caused a huge pile up in the middle of the field and 4 players had to go to the hospital. Turns out the fight was about Emmett calling Jasper a wuss so he slugged him and then Edward punched them both for being idiots and it turned into a full out fight. The other players chose sides and starting fighting too. I laughed so hard my sides hurt. I could just see it too, mini Edwards, and Jaspers, and Emmetts fighting over practically nothing at all.
Once we get back to the car I'm disappointed that our date's coming to an end. Edward shares my sentiments. "I don't really want to go back yet. And it's not just because they're going to eat us alive for doing everything we could to break their "rules"." I laugh nervously.
"Ya, same," I agree. An awkward silence follows my words.
"I guess we have to though huh?" Edward finally says.
"Ya I guess so," I say. We get into Edward's car and head back to the hotel. We spend the ride back in comfortable silence. Edward puts on some music that I recognize.
"Claire de Lune?"
"You know Debussy?"
"Only my favourites"
"It's one of my favourites too," he says looking at me. I can feel my face turning red. He listens to classical music? Wow. Edward turns his attention back to the road but he moves his hand to hold mine. I feel a shock as our hands connect. My mouth opens in surprise and I glance at our hands. Edward's eyes are wide when he looks at my face. He pulls the car over to the side of the road.
"What are you doing?" I ask in confusion.
"Well I know you probably won't want me to driving when I do this." He brings his hand to my cheek then leans in and kisses me softly on the lips. It feels like my whole body is getting a shock now. The kiss deepens. I put my hand to the back of his head and he puts his around my waist. My mouth opens and our tongues dance around each other's. Finally I pull away for air.
"Wow," I breathe. He smiles his crooked smile and my heart melts again.
"Ya," he whispers.
"You were right about pulling over. We'd probably be wrapped around a tree by now if you hadn't," I grin. He strokes my cheek softly.
"You're so beautiful Bella," he whispers.
"Really?" I whisper. He nods.
"You have no idea," he smiles and kisses me softly one more time before pulling back and turning back onto the road. He takes my hand again. The rest of the ride back is silent but my mind is racing. Omigod Omigod Omigod I just kissed Edward freaking Cullen! We like made out! What does it mean?! Are we dating? Does he even want to date me? I mean just cause he kissed me doesn't mean he wants to date me?! Do I even want to date him? I'm so confused! God he is such a good kisser! I try to keep my face calm but I can feel myself blushing again. Edward notices too and grins.
"What are you thinking Bella?" he says.
"Nothing," I lie. Edward rolls his eyes.
"Tell me the truth," he demands.
"Just about New York and what we're going to do while we're here and about everyone and stuff," I babble, not making much sense at all.
"Uh huh," he says. I just look away so he can't see my face.
"Bella what's wrong?" he asks in a worried tone. Aw he's so sweet. I don't know what to say though. I'm so confused. I know I like him but how does he feel?
"Nothing, I'm just thinking that's all," I reply. It's sort of the truth.
"I know you better than that," he says. "Do you... regret me kissing you?" he asks hesitantly.
"No! No it's not that," I say. How could he think I regret that? It takes two people to make out.
"Then what is it?" he asks.
"It's just... well what are we?" I ask quietly. There I said it.
"What are we? Like do you mean our relationship?" he asks.
"Ya, I mean I don't know how you feel and after our... well I just am so confused," I conclude. I guess that's the perfect word to describe how I feel, confused. After a few moments of silence he says,
"Well how do you feel?" I pause for a minute. That's a good question. I've had a hard time with relationships after I was cheated on and I'm not sure if I can trust a boyfriend like I used to. On the other hand Edward just doesn't seem like that type of person at least I hope he's not and I really like him. I know I do. I guess I should just start with that.
"Well I know I... I like you," I finish quietly. I stare at my feet. I wish we weren't in a car that way I could run away. I'm afraid to look at him but I can't help it. I glance at him slightly and see a big grin on his face. What that grin means I don't know. He takes one hand off the wheel and lifts my chin so I'm looking at him.
"I like you too Bella," he says, "I like you very much." I can't believe it. A goofy smile comes on my face.
"Really?" I whisper.
"Really," he says and then he leans in and kisses me again. I kiss him back and smile into his lips. And then the car swerves. We jump apart and Edward grabs the wheel and steadies the car.
"Oops," I say laughing sheepishly, "I guess we should wait until we get back to the hotel for that." He smiles.
"I have a better idea," he says as he, once again pulls the car to the side of the road.
Alice POV
Rose and Emmett are asleep and Titanic has ended. Emmett thought it was stupid that Rose and I were crying but it really is such a beautiful movie! He's just insensitive, unlike my Jasper that didn't make fun of us at all.
Gosh he's so sweet. I wish he would kiss me though. Emmett and Rosalie are sucking face practically all the time and Edward and Bella are probably making out somewhere right now and that's why they're so late, or at least that's what I think, but Jasper is just too much of a gentleman to try anything without being like a gazillion% sure that I'll be ok with it. Which I obviously AM he just doesn't know it. But he will. If he's going to be so slow I'll just kiss him myself. Now that we're past the awkward stage of if he likes me or not I'm feeling much more confident.
Anyways so we're sitting there talking quietly as to not wake up our two little sleeping beauties and the subject of Bella and Edward comes up.
"So how do you think it's going? They're certainly taking their time aren't they?" he whispers.
"Oh they're probably making out somewhere right now. I mean did you see the way they were looking at each other? I thought we were all going to get electrocuted, the electricity between those two is so strong." Jasper laughs.
"Well we'll just have to see when they get back. Of course they probably won't tell us if they were making out will they?"
"No but if Bella comes in blushing and Edward comes in beaming then we'll know." Jasper just smiles and shakes his head.
"You've got everyone figured out don't you Alice?"
"Yup," I say and Jasper smiles. We don't say anything for a minute or so but the silence isn't awkward it's just... silent. And I don't really like any type of silence. I don't know what to say though so I decide to make my move. I lift my chin and gently bring my lips to his. He's a bit surprised at first but then he deepens the kiss and hey I wasn't complaining. He's such a good kisser and he's so nice and sweet God he's perfect. Eventually we stop kissing and just look at each other breathing heavily.
"What brought that on?" he says with a smile.
"You were taking too long," I reply and then I kiss him again. Unfortunately at that moment Bella and Edward decide to grace us with their presences.
"Hey guys we're back!" Bella shout-whispers as she and Edward enter the room. Then they notice our situation.
"Oh er- sorry... we'll just... uh go in the other room," Bella stutters. Edward chuckles and guides her out. Before he leaves he winks at us and then he is gone.
"Well that was embarrassing," Jasper says.
"I think it was more awkward," I say, "Now where were we?..."
---- ------------- -------------------- ---------------------- --------------- ---------------
The next morning I wake up in Jasper's arms. Perfect. I sigh contently. I can feel Jasper stir and I look up at his face. He opens his eyes, looks at me and smiles.
"Good morning," he whispers. It sends my heart into a frenzy.
"Good morning," I whisper back. I wonder if he feels it like I do?
"Do you wanna go get some coffee?" he asks. Coffee!!
"Yes! Let's go before anyone realizes that you're giving me coffee. Again." He laughs and helps me up. We grab our shoes and head downstairs, creeping past our sleeping friends on the couch and the room next door where Edward and Bella are. As we passed the room I realized that I didn't know how their date went. I'll have to ask her today how it went
We walk downstairs and walk into the dining room. We get 6 cups of coffee and charge it to our rooms. I take a sip of mine.
"Aaah," I sigh.
"Wow you really do love coffee don't you?" Jasper says looking amused. I nod.
"And being deprived of it for so long makes every drop taste like heaven in a cup," Jasper laughs.
"You are a strange one aren't you Alice?" he says jokingly.
"But that's why you love me," I say jokingly not realizing what I had said. Jasper freezes. I look at him confused then I realize what I had said. That's why you love me. I said it to Rose and Bella all the time. I didn't even realize how awkward it would be. I mean I knew I loved him. I was sure of it, but I didn't know he if he returned the feelings yet. I knew he would eventually I just knew it, but that didn't mean he did. I try to backtrack.
"I mean... what I meant was..." he cuts me off.
"Alice, it's ok. That is why I love you." He looks me right in the eyes and I know that he's telling the truth. I guess this makes up for me having to kiss him first. I smile.
"I love you too," Jasper breaks out into the most gorgeous smile ever and kisses me deeply. Well as deeply as you can when each of us are holding 3 cups of coffee. He smiles sweetly at me.
"Come on we should get these upstairs," he says. We continue the walk to our rooms in silence but this time it doesn't bother me. After a deep and emotional moment like we just had I allow for a little reflective silent time.
We get to Rose, Bella's and my room and walk in. Bella and Edward have joined Rose and Em, who are awake, on the couch and they're all arguing about who is better, superman or Spiderman. I clear my throat when they don't look up.
"Coffee!" they exclaim. I take mine and try to discreetly sneak away with it so they don't know I have coffee but Bella, the ever observant one, notices and calls me out.
"Alice has coffee!" Rose and Bella look at me with horrified expressions.
"Jasper!" Rose says now glaring at him. "Again!"
"Sorry," Jasper says sheepishly. "She wasn't so bad last time," he says.
"You weren't stuck in a car with her!" Bella argues. I dance over to Bella and pinch her cheek.
"Aw come on Bells don't be such a grumpy umpus," Bella swats my hand away, hides behind Edward, and looks at me like I'm insane.
"See! See what you have unleashed on the unsuspecting world!" she cries.
"Ha ha, if this is Alice on coffee I wonder what drunk Alice would be like," Emmett says grinning mischievously.
"No!" Bella and Rose shout. I laugh. Last time I got drunk I screamed at the top of my lungs while running down the main street in Forks with Bella and Rose chasing behind me. They were so embarrassed Bella was red for a week. Edward grins.
"Aw come on how bad can it be?" he says. I skip around the couch.
"I have coffee, I have coffee!" I sing. Bella looks at Edward like "Do you really want to give alcohol to that?" Edward just stares at me.
"Point taken."
We then discuss our plans for the day. We decide just to explore the city. The guys head to their room so they can get ready and then Rose and I pounce on Bella.
"How'd it go?"
"Are you dating?"
"What did you get to eat?"
"Did you follow our desert orders?"
"Did he kiss you?"
"Did you kiss him?"
"STOP!" Rose and I freeze. "Ok I'll tell you what happened as long as you two promise to shut up!" We nod. "Ok so we went into the restaurant, the waitress flirted horribly with him, we ordered coffee, and cheeseburgers," My mouth pops open when she says that. Coffee!! Cheeseburgers!! They are so dead! Bella giggles at mine and Rose's expressions. "Oh get over it. Anyways we got your note and went out and got some ice cream," I could stay silent no longer.
"You went out? And got ICE CREAM?! We said to get something you could share!" Bella smiles smugly.
"We did. We shared our ice cream cones." I just stared at her with my mouth open. "Can I finish the story now? Thank you. So then we got in the car and drove off but then... Well he pulled over and kissed me," she finishes with a small smile.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!" Rose and I squeal. Bella covers her ears.
"Thanks for totally deafening me guys!" she says.
"He kissed you?! Did you make out? Are you dating? EEEEEE!" Rose squeals again.
"Ok so yes we made out I guess and I don't know if we're dating. I mean he said he likes me but I'm not sure if we're actually going out."
"Well find out!" I shout. "This is crucial information!" Bella rolls her eyes.
"Can I just go get dressed now" she says.
"Wait I have some news," I say. They both look at me expectantly.
"Well this morning Jasper told me he loved me and I said I loved him back!" I can feel a huge smile come on my face. Bella and Rose shriek.
"You guys are perfect together!" Rose says. "I'm not surprised you two are the first ones to use the L word," she giggles. I think I might soon though."
"Umm... about that Rose, I sort of told Edward that you were... in love with Emmett," Bella says warily. Rose's mouth opens in surprise.
"Bella!" she shrieks, "How could you?!!"
'I'm sorry! He made me tell him! He wouldn't look at the road unless I told him! On the bright side he said that he's pretty sure Emmett loves you back," Rose's expression softened a bit.
"Really? He does?"
"I'm positive," Bella says confidently.
"I agree!" I chime in. Rose gets a dreamy look on her face for a second but then snaps back to reality.
"This doesn't mean you're totally off the hook Bella. I will get my revenge," she says with an evil grin. Bella gulps.
"What kind of revenge?"
"You'll see," Rose smiles. Bella groans. I just shake my head.
"Never cross Rose Bella, you know that," Bella just sighs.
"Oh well," she says. "Anyways I'm going to get dressed," she gets up from the couch.
"Oh Bella? Before you go can we just say...," I look at Rose and we communicate silently.
"YOU'RE WELCOME!" we say together. Bella rolls her eyes but I can see a smile. Rose and I giggle and Bella goes and gets changed. After she comes out Rose and I get changed in turn and then we knock on the boy's room.
"You guys ready?" I ask. Emmett opens the door.
"Ya we're ready. What the hell were you guys doing in there? We could hear you shrieking and squealing and screaming through the wall." We girls look at each other and start laughing.
"What? What's going on? Wait don't tell me I probably don't want to know," Emmett says. Jasper and Edward come to the door and then we set off. We're all wearing comfortable but stylish clothes (well with the exception of Bella, she wasn't really going for stylish) that we could walk around in all day. We walked out of the hotel and onto the busy New York sidewalk.
"So," Bella says, "Where to first?"
