Bella was right about that jealous thing. I was furious at Charlie for trying to set my Bella up with another guy, and I had to something about it. I walked down the hall to Alice's room and knocked on the door.
"Come in." I opened the door to see Alice holding up a purple shirt in front of the mirror. "Can I help you with something, brother?"
"I need you to go and keep an eye on Bella." I said as I went and sat down on the bench that sat at the end of her bed. As soon as the words came out though, Alice put down the shirt and stared at me like I had just grown a second head.
"You want me to do what? I am not going to spy on your girlfriend." Alice turned back to the mirror acting like this conversation was over but I had just begun.
"Look Alice, you would be more like watching Charlie then Bella. You see Charlie tried to set Bella up on a date with this family friend guy because he doesn't think that I should be with Bella. Just for an hour or so, please Alice." I was ready to get on my knees and beg her to do this for me.
"Fine, I guess I can say that we have a project to work on to Charlie and I could help Bella put some outfits together for the next week." I got up and hugged Alice and then went back to my room. Hopefully Alice could find something out about this guy that Charlie brought home, and keep him and Bella away from each other. It wasn't that I didn't trust Bella, but she was a very beautiful girl and guys seem to have a very strong attraction to her. So I didn't want to take any chances. Now I only had to find something to do to pass the time till Alice came home to fill me in on the details.
After finishing my homework, cleaning my room, and organizing all of my 264 cds alphabetically by artist and album release date, I sat on my black leather and started to bounce a tennis ball against the wall. 114, 115,116…..
"Edward, that has to be the most annoying sound ever. No wonder everyone is sitting out back." Alice came prancing into my room taking a seat next to me. I threw the ball towards my open closet but missed. Oh well.
"So, tell me what happened. Who is this guy? What did Charlie say? What did Bella say...?" I started to talk really fast before Alice cut me off.
"First off, Bella is a little angry with you because you sent me to babysit her. But she will get over that by tomorrow and second his name is Jacob Black and I must say he is pretty cute." I must have had a look of concern because Alice quickly continued. "But Bella has only platonic attraction to him. You are still the apple of her eye." She said as she pinched my cheeks like a little kid and then she got up to leave but stopped when she reached the door. "Oh and I would bring some flowers or something sweet tomorrow for Bella if I were you to make up for the whole sending me to spy on her thing."
"Thanks Alice." I could rest easier knowing that I had nothing to worry about on the Bella front. I turned on my computer to check my email and I saw that Bella was online. It wasn't two seconds later that I received an IM from BellaS19. I clicked on the message box,
BellaS19 (6:07pm): Alice? You sent Alice to keep an eye on me; did you really think that I would actually do something to hurt you?
EdwardC05 (6:08pm): I'm sorry love; it's not that I don't trust you, I just don't him. And never denied that being jealous part. I am so sorry!
BellaS19 (6:09pm): It's alright. I actually had a lot of fun with Alice, so I guess it was a win win situation.
We talked till midnight, until it seemed like Bella was falling asleep at the computer when she didn't answer simple questions for ten minutes. It was so much easier to talk to Bella then it ever was to talk to Lauren. We talked about everything from movies to books to crazy cartoons that we use to watch as kids. Bella was amazing.
The next day before school I made sure to pick up some simple blue daisies for Bella. I knew that she didn't like anything to fancy, so a dozen roses would have been too much. Bella was sitting on the picnic tables under the shelter by the school by the time I pulled up. I hid the flowers behind my back as I approached her. She put down the book she had been reading when she heard me approach.
"Hey there beautiful." I said as I walked up to Bella, placing my free hand on her check and a kiss on her soft lips.
"I like those hellos. What do you have there behind your back?" She asked trying to peer behind my back. I brought them forward and I heard a soft gasp escape her lips. "Oh, Edward they are beautiful!" She threw her arms around my neck and kissed with a lot of passion.
"If I knew that was going to happen then I would bring you flowers every day." I chuckled, "Well we better get to class before we are late." I grabbed Bella's hand leading her into the building, when we passed through the doors however Lauren came up on the other side of Bella knocking the flowers from her hand.
"Oops. Sorry slut." Said Lauren and her laughing gang of friends as she passed.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO REVIEW! THANKS- WISH-ELEVEN!
