Chapter 11: Disturbing the Peace and Getting Even
Jasper POV
I can't believe I told Alice I love her! I'm so glad she feels the same. I can't imagine my life without her anymore. I don't know how I got along before we became friends. She's beautiful, vibrant, funny, energetic, loyal, caring and clever. I just can't stand not being with her. I know Emmett and Edward feel the same. Here's was happened.
Flashback to the past
We leave the girls in their room and go to ours to change. Once we get inside we close the door and Emmett and I corner Edward.
"Ok Eddie-boy spill!" Emmett says.
"About what? And don't call me Eddie-boy," Edward says innocently.
"You know what. Tell us about your date!" he says.
"Alright," Edward says. We sit down on the bed. "Ok so we got the restaurant and then there was the phone call, as you guys know, then we ate food we knew would piss off Rose and Alice, then we got ice cream then we started to drive home then I pulled over and we made out then we drove some more then we pulled over and made out some more then we got back here and caught Jasper and Alice making out," he smirks at me and I just grin and shrug my shoulders. "Then we went to sleep." He finishes.
"Wow Eddie you can even make a date with a hot girl sound boring," Emmett says. Edward smacks him on the back of the head.
"Don't call me that," he says.
"And Jasper, making out with Alice, very nice," Emmett says.
"Oh shut up Emmett," I reply.
"Well it took you long enough. Let me guess she had to kiss you first?" Edward says teasingly. I just shrug and look down.
"Dude!" Emmett says. "Alice has more balls than you do!" he bursts out laughing. Edward's laughing too.
"Shut up! I just didn't want to offend her!" they just ignore me completely and keep laughing. I push Emmett off the bed.
"Ow!" I chuckle.
"Oh Emmett, guess what? I have some news for you about Rose that might be interesting," Emmett jumps up back on the bed.
"What is it?!"
"Well Bella told me last night that Rose told her and Alice that she's in love with you," Edward says nonchalantly. Emmett freezes.
"Emmett? Dude? You still alive?" I ask waving my hand in front of Emmett's eyes. He doesn't even flinch.
"I think he had a heart attack," Edward chuckles. Emmett slowly blinks and then turns to face Edward.
"Really? She said that?" he asks. Edward nods.
"Yup According to Bella she did and Bella is a very reliable source. But I wasn't supposed to tell you so you can't let on that you know," Emmett nods still in a daze.
"Alright." He says.
"You too Jasper," he says.
"I'll do my best," I say. "Oh and guys there's... uh something I wanna tell you." They look at me.
"What is it?" Edward asks.
"Well this morning I sort of told Alice that I... love her and she said the same," They stare at me shell-shocked.
"Well I can't say I'm surprised," Edward says. "Bella and I were talking about you two last night and we figured it was only a matter of time."
"Ya same dude. Besides you two are so cute!" Emmett puts on a falsetto voice and bats his eyes. Edward practically falls of the bed laughing and I push Emmett off the bed again.
"Ow!" We get up and gets dressed. Then we hear noises coming from the other side of the wall.
"What's going on?" I ask. Edward moves closer to the wall.
"It sounds like shrieking and squealing," he says.
"Girls are weird," Emmett says. Edward nods.
"Amen to that." We hear a knock on the door.
"I'll get it" Emmett says. Edward and I put our shoes on. I can hear Emmett and the girls.
"You guys ready?" Alice asks.
"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." The girls start laughing.
"What? What's going on? Wait don't tell me I probably don't want to know," Emmett says. Edward and I go to the door and we head out to the street. We're all wearing comfortable clothes that we could walk around in all day. Alice and Rose's clothes though are slightly more fashion conscious than the rest of ours.
"So," Bella says, "Where to first?"
Back to the present
We decide to just walk down the street and stop at any place we want. Alice, of course, wants to stop at every clothing or accessory store we see. The guys don't want to but it makes her happy so I force them to go along with it.
Rose and Alice are having a field day finding clothes and shoes, and other things girls like, for themselves and for Bella while Bella is following behind them holding clothes and things they've picked out. Edward, Emmett, and I are following behind the three of them with all the day's purchases. I'm carrying Alice's 6 bags, Emmett is carrying Rosalie's 5, and Edward is carrying 4 for Bella as well, most of which Alice and Rose picked out for her of course.
"Dude, you have to get Alice to stop. This is insanity!" Emmett whispers.
"When you can get Rose to stop I'll get Alice to stop," I say. Emmett sighs.
"We're doomed. Edward do you think Bella could talk to them?" he asks hopefully.
"Sorry Em but Bella warned me that taking them shopping and then asking them to stop, was like asking a vampire to stop sucking blood. Futile." Emmett's head drops.
"We're double doomed! I'm going to die of boredom and of shopping overdose!"
"Oh relax they've got to stop sometime right? They're going to need food eventually," I say somewhat doubtfully. At that moment the girls stop and come up to us.
"We're hungry," Alice announces.
"Can we go eat after we're done here?" Rose says. Bella's face lights up.
"So we're done?" she asks hopefully.
"After this store," Alice says. My mood lightens considerably. All of the sudden Bella starts darting around the store with Alice and Rose.
"Come on guys, hurry up! The sooner we finish the sooner we can stop shopping and go eat!" Bella yells from the other end of the store. I chuckle.
"Wow she really doesn't like shopping," I say. Edward just laughs. Emmett starts bouncing up and down.
"Come on you heard the lady let's move so we can go get some food!" he runs after them. Edward and I follow behind laughing.
Half an hour later, we leave the store with all 6 of us each carrying 3 bags. All together that is 18 bags! "You girls are insane," Emmett says.
"No they're just shop-a-holics," Edward says.
"I'm not!" Bella protests.
"I know that, I'm talking about your two wacko friends," he says.
"Shopping is fun!" Alice says. "I'll bet heaven is just one big shopping mall," she sighs dreamily.
"Well I'm not as bad as Alice," Rose says. "I enjoy shopping and make-up and stuff but I also like cars. My heaven would be a big mechanic's office," Rose says. Alice gives her a look.
"OK, OK with a shopping mall down the road. How's that?"
"Better," Alice smiles. We all laugh. Alice is hilarious. She's definitely something special. I can't imagine going through life without her. What about college? What are you going to do then? The little voice in my head taunts me. The truth is I'd been thinking about that a lot. What was going to happen when we three guys went to Dartmouth? Alice had mentioned that the girls were going to college together but she hadn't said where. I hadn't remembered to ask her where they were going. They didn't even know where we were going. I made a mental note to ask Alice where they were going for college later. Right now we were going to find a place to eat.
As we walk down the streets of New York I look at my 5 friends. So much has changed during this past week. Emmett and I had girlfriends and I'm sure Edward and Bella were just one step away from being officially dating. And just to think that only such a short while ago these girls were considered our enemies. It seems so ridiculous now. Alice notices my staring.
"What's up Jazz?" I shake my head and smile.
"Nothing I was just thinking," I reply.
"About?..." I chuckle. Always so curious.
"Nothing just you guys and New York and college and stuff, that's all," It's the truth pretty much so she takes it and smiles. She's about to say something when Rose shrieks.
"Stop! Let's go in here!" She stops in front of a big, fancy restaurant. She grabs Emmett's and Bella's arms and drags them in. The rest of us follow. The inside of the restaurant is huge and dimly lit, probably for a romantic ambiance. We wait in line for a table. When we finally get seated we get a table in the back right hand corner of the restaurant. We sit down and order some drinks. We all get coffee, even Alice.
"Fine Alice you can have some," Rose sighs after Alice gives her a puppy dog pout. "But if it gets too bad we are so taking away all caffeine privileges forever." Alice squeals and hugs Rose.
"And Jasper if she gets too hyper you're going to have to deal with her. It's your fault she's started having coffee again you know," Bella says pointing her finger at me.
"Alright alright," I say. Our coffee comes and Bella, Rose and Edward watch Alice warily as she downs her cup.
"We are so going to regret this," Rose says. Bella just shakes her head and sighs. Emmett laughs.
"Come on guys stop being such party poopers!"
"We are not! We're just being careful. You never know what could happen with Alice," Bella protests.
"I know what that's like," Edward says as he looks pointedly at Emmett.
"What?"
I change the subject to what we're all doing in the fall, hoping to find out where the girls are going for college. "So where are you girls going in the fall?" I ask as nonchalantly as possible.
"Dartmouth," Alice says. "What about you guys?" A huge smile breaks out across the faces of me, Emmett and Edward.
"What is it?" Bella asks.
"Ya you guys look really stupid," Rosalie says. I look at Alice.
"Guess where we're going for college?" I ask. She looks at me for a second then shock and happiness dominate her face.
"No way!" I nod. Bella's and Rose's mouths drop open.
"So all 6 of us are going to Dartmouth?" Rose says. Emmett stands up in the middle of the restaurant, pulls Rose up and twirls her around.
"Hooray!" he shouts. The other people in the restaurant turn and stare and the waiters and waitresses look angry so I pull Emmett back into his seat with rose on his lap.
"I was afraid I was going to have to go to college without you!" he says. Bella and Edward are just staring into each other's eyes, holding hands with big goofy grins on their faces. Alice squeals.
"This is perfect!" she jumps into my lap and crushes her lips to mine. I forget there is anyone else there and kiss her back. God she is so hot! Finally we pull away embarrassed. Our friends are staring at us with smirks on their faces. Then Emmett, being Emmett, starts to cheer.
"Woohoo!" Rose wolf whistles and Bella is laughing so hard that tears are streaming down her face. Edward is laughing too and pats me on the back.
"You know that's the 2nd time I've had to watch you two make out," he says and pulls a disgusted face. I slug him in the shoulder. Finally everyone starts to calm down. I look around and notice that almost everyone in the restaurant is watching us some laughing, some smiling and some glaring at us for disturbing their lunch. Our waiter comes up to our table with a frown on his face.
"I'm sorry but you're disturbing the peace here so I'm going to have to ask you 6 to leave,"
"Fine, you restaurant people have no sense of humour," Emmett says and pulls Rose up with him. I lift Alice of my lap and stand up. Edward and Bella are right behind us. I'm trying not to laugh. Once we get outside though, all of us burst into laughter.
"You know this is all your fault, Em, you're the one that started it," Bella says through her laughter.
"What can I say? I'm a master at disturbing the peace," he says and takes a bow.
"You know that's the second time we've been kicked out of a restaurant on this trip," Alice says.
"Ya, pretty soon they're going to be putting up signs saying 'Beware of these people' with our faces on them," Rose giggles. I grab Alice's hand and smile at her. She smiles back. Could it get any better than this?
Rose POV
After we got kicked out of that restaurant we had to find somewhere else to eat, so we decided on going back to the hotel by cab and ordering room service. After all that shopping and "disturbing the peace" we were exhausted, even Alice because we were kicked out of the restaurant before we got our coffee. I was waiting to find the right time to tell Emmett I loved him. It's a difficult thing to do you know.
Anyways, back at the hotel we all hang around in room waiting for room service.
"So what do you guys wanna do?" Alice asks lazily.
"Sleep," Emmett says.
"No way, no sleeping. I know! Let's play truth or dare!" My head shoots up.
"Um I'll pass," I say. Alice and truth or dare is a dangerous combination, almost as dangerous as her and alcohol.
"Sorry Rose no passing this time," I groan. I mean truth or dare is bad enough when it's just us girls but with guys too? It just spells disaster. Bad memories. Bella gives me a worried look. I give her a helpless shrug. There's nothing we can do now. The guys look confused. Really we need to make a list of all the things we should keep Alice from doing and give it to the guys because they're definitely going to need it.
"What's wrong?" Emmett whispers in my ear.
"Alice. Truth or dare. Bad idea," I whisper back.
"What happened?" Emmett asks knowing that there's probably a reason as to why Bella and I are scared to play truth or dare with Alice.
"Bella was dared to wear high heels to school for a whole day and she tripped down the stairs and sprained her ankle, and I was dared to kiss this one geek in our science class and then for a whole month he followed me around like a lost puppy. Even after I told him it was just a dare! And that's just a couple of incidents," Emmett chuckles.
"That's funny. I remember that. I always wondered why Bella wore high heels when everybody knows she's so clumsy she's practically disabled,"
"It is not funny! It was horrible! That nerd went around and told everyone we were dating!"
"Oh you mean Eric don't you. I remember that too. He also told everybody that you guys were planning on going to the 'next level'," Emmett laughs and our friends give us curious looks.
"What?! The next level of WHAT?! It was a dare!" Unfortunately I said that a bit louder than a whisper, ok so I shouted, and everyone else heard me.
"Oh you're talking about the Eric incident," Alice says. "That was pretty funny," and she starts to giggle. Bella laughs too.
"Hey you shouldn't be laughing Bella or do you want me to tell them all about the dares Alice made you do?" Bella stops laughing immediately and a look of horror takes over her face.
"You wouldn't," she says. I smile deviously. "Rose, my dear, sweet, kind Rose you love me don't you?"
"Yup," Bella's face softens in relief, "But that doesn't mean I'm not going to tell," horror once again replaces the relief.
"Come on Bella I'm sure they're not that bad," Edward says.
"Oh they are trust me," Bella says pouting. Edward chuckles and wraps his arms around her waist.
"Go on Rose," Jasper says smiling. Alice is already giggling beside him.
"Well there was this one time when Alice dared Bella to stand up on a table in the cafeteria at lunch and start doing the chicken dance," I giggle. I can still see it in my mind. "Bella's face was so bright red the whole time. Everyone laughed so hard. People didn't stop talking about it for days," Everyone bursts out laughing except for Bella, who is still pouting.
"That was humiliating," she grumbles.
"Oh ya... I remember that. I always wondered why Bella did that. She always had a reputation for avoiding attention whenever possible," Jasper says with a chuckle.
"Why don't you yell us something that happened outside of school. Something we don't know about," Emmett suggests. I smile.
"Rose!" Bella pleads with wide eyes. Ah revenge gotta love it.
"One word Bella. REVENGE." Bella glares at me. Hey it's not my fault she told Edward about me being in love with Emmett and it's also not my fault she decided to mine and Alice's rules during their date. I warned her I was going to get revenge. BWA HA HA HA!
"Ok, so one time Alice dared Bella to walk up to a cashier at a grocery store in seattle and start speaking French. So she walked up to a cashier and started speaking frantically in French. The poor guy was so confused and Bella was beat red,"
"Shocker," Emmett snorts. I glare at him for interrupting. "Sorry."
"So after about five minutes of watching him trying to understand Bella, Alice and I intervene saying that Bella's our cousin from France and she doesn't speak English. Then I say some words in French to Bella, I think I said 'The grapefruit is orange', I don't speak French very well, and then Bella says some words we can't understand while glaring at me and Alice...," I break off because I'm laughing too hard to continue. Alice is hysterical and the guys are chuckling. Bella turns and hides her face in Edward's chest because she knows what happens next.
"And then Alice nods like she knows exactly what Bella is saying and then tells the cashier," I struggle for my breathe, "That her cousin was wondering where to find the condoms!" I burst out laughing again. Everyone is in hysterics except for Bella of course.
"I still don't forgive you guys for that," Bella grumbles but I can barely hear her over our laughter.
"Ooo I have a good one!" Alice says excitedly.
"Alice!"
"Sorry Bella but they were my rules too," Bella just shakes her head.
"Go on Alice," Edward says with a smile. Bella glares at him and he kisses her forehead. Aw.
"Ok so one time we were just hanging around Port Angeles and then I said we should play truth or dare. So Bella goes first and chooses dare," Alice grins evilly, "so I dare her to song one whole song on the corner of Main Street like a street performer. At first she refuses so Rose says that we'll be her backup singers. So we stand together on the street corner and then Bella starts to sing Untouched by the Veronicas." Alice dissolves into giggles. "Rose and I backup sing for her and then I get this brilliant idea, it was so genius,"
"More like devious," Bella interrupts.
"Shut up. So I steal Rosalie's hat and put it on the ground like a real street performer! I put it out of Bella's way though so at first she didn't see. When people started putting money in Bella looked around and saw it and turned bright red. We had gathered a huge crowd of people by the end of the song. And when we counted the money later at my house we had made over $100!" We all burst out into laughter. I remembered that day. Some people still recognized us when we went to Port Angeles. Bella tries to hide a smile but I knew that she thought it was pretty funny... well now she does.
We tell more truth or dare stories until the food comes.
"Food!" Emmett shouts. He barrels toward the cart of food coming into our room. Alice jumps around him with one of her kung fu moves though, and beats him to the food.
"Alice!" he whines.
"You snooze you lose," Alice sings as she fills a plate with food. Emmett fills his plate next and takes most of the remaining food. I'm not too worried though because one good puppy dog pout from me and he'd give me his whole plate. Bwa ha ha ha! The rest of us get food and then I steal some from Emmett.
As I look at my plate I realize that I'd forgotten about my diet. But all the food looks so good! I stare at my plate. On one hand I want to eat every single piece of food on my plate and Emmett's too. But on the other hand I want to stick to my diet and only eat half of my plate. Ok so I don't want to stick to my diet but I should.
As I battle over the food in my mind out of the corner of my eye I see a hand inching towards my plate, Emmett's hand to be exact. Without thinking I slap his hand away.
"No way mister this is my food," Emmett pouts.
"But you're not even going to eat it," he whines.
"Says who?" I reply. My friends look at me with surprised faces.
"You're breaking your diet?" Alice asks incredulously. I sigh and look forlornly at my plate.
"I guess so." Edward smirks.
"I bet you won't. Besides even if you do you won't be able to eat all that food," Alice and Bella smile.
"Actually Rose used to be able eat more than me, more than Emmett even," Alice grins proudly at the guys.
"No way," Jasper says.
"You bet," Bella says. She winks at me. I nod.
"I can prove it. I'll eat this whole plate right now," I say. Well I guess if I'm going to break my diet I might as well get some bragging rights out of it. "If I eat the whole thing you guys owe us girls $5 each. If I don't we owe you," Alice and Bella nod their approval. The guys smirk at each other. I wouldn't be so confident if I were you, boys.
"Deal," They say and we all shake on it. I look at my plate. It's not much more than what I used to eat. I put a hand on my stomach and hope that it can still hold as much as it used to.
"Well honey you better get started," Emmett says with a grin. I smile back and pick up a fork. This is going to be the best bet we ever made.
ok I'm so sorry it's taken so long. I've been SO busy you would not beleive. But rest assured SVR is not forgotten. (Btw its short form for a summer vacation to remember it's a lot faster to type lol) So I'll start on a new chapter but as usual it will probably be awhile. but I will update. Thanks so much for the reviews they really make my day. Well hope this chapter is worth waiting for and once again I do apologize for the wait. xoxo
