Chapter 3
My dad came to the school, and picked me up. I got suspended for two days, and a first offense. My dad yelled at me the whole way home, about how it made him look bad, that I'll get on probation again, blah, blah, blah.
When we got home I went straight to my room. I pulled out my cell phone and texted James.
HEY?
HEY, BELLA YOU O.K.?
OH YA IM FINE, DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CUT CLASS AND COME OVER HERE?
YA ILL BE THERE IN A MIN.
OKAY SEE YA IN A FEW THEN
O.K.
I sat and waited for James I was not going to stay here by myself for two days. Jessica moved out today, she got a nice little apartment she said, and she'll come see me all the time, when she isn't working. I needed someone and I knew Christina wouldn't skip out on seeing Emmett, so I would have to wait until after school to see her she has a surprise for me. DINGGGGG-DONGGGG, the doorbell interrupted my thoughts. I went downstairs and answered the door.
"I told you I'd be here in a minute.", James said with a big smile on his face.
"I see that, so are you and Crystal dating?", I asked without even thinking.
"Oh, no she is another Christina, kind of stalker-ish we have our own fan club.", he said.
"Oh okay well I was going to apologize for messing up her face, but I don't think I need to now.", I told him and smiled.
"Well can I come in or am I confined to the front porch?", James asked.
"Oh no come on in, we gotta go to my room just in case my dad, you know he is kind of mad.", I told him while walking up the stairs.
"Where is Jessica?", James asked.
"She moved out. Why?", I asked.
"Oh cause, Jacob said yes.", James said while sitting on my bed.
"Wait what?", I asked.
"Jacob said yes, she told me to tell him she wanted to date him so I asked him and he said yes.", he told me laying back and patting the bed for me to sit so I did.
"Wow, my best friends dating each other, perfect.", I said. He laughed, then my phone started talking to me. "HEY TEXT ME BACK ALREADY IT'S EMMETT'S FUTURE WIFE.", I opened my phone and it was Christina.
HEY I'LL BE AT YOUR HOUSE IN FIVE
O.K. JAMES IS HERE CAN HE COME WITH US WHERE WERE GOING?
THAT WILL BE PERFECT, YES HE CAN. BE THERE SOON.
OKAY JUST WALK ON IN IM UPSTAIRS, FIRST ROOM ON YOUR LEFT
OKAY WELL IM HERE HAHA
OKAY
"Christina is coming over, she wants to go somewhere.", I told him, and he nodded his head.
"Emmett's future wife here is it safe to come in!?", Christina screamed at the door.
"Yes Christina, why wouldn't it be?", I screamed back.
"Well you said James was here, and you were in your room, with the door closed, put two and two together.", she said while walking in the room.
I smiled at her, "Well, anyway what's going on today?", I asked.
"I was getting to that, but were going to Emmett Cullen's house. I need some pictures.", she said.
"Wait that's the big surprise? Were going over to his house and asking him if we can take pictures of him?", I asked kind of confused.
"Oh, no were going to stand outside his house, its nothing but windows, and besides there is know way I would ever get up the nerve to knock on his door to see if he wants to hang out.", she said and sat down on the bed.
"Well I can ask him when we get there if you want?", James said.
"Oh my god, I totally forgot you hung out with him! You would do that for me?", Christina sounded like she was going to have a heart attack.
"Well you and your friends are our biggest fans so why not, come on I'll drive.", James said and smiled.
"Yes! I finally get to hang out with him outside of school!", Christina screamed and ran out the room.
I looked at James while we got off the bed. "Thanks, for doing this for her, she seems real excited.", I said and smiled.
"Hey, it's no big deal, you don't need to be cooped up in this house by yourself, and you need human contact.", he said and laughed.
"Well still thank you.", I told him again.
While we were walking out the room he put his arm around my shoulders.
"Well let's go help Christina get with her future husband.", James said while we were walking downstairs.
"Let's do it.", I told him, and stole his keys from his hand. "I'm driving!", I said and ran to the car.
Christina was sitting upfront, and James said that she needed to move, cause he was not going to let me drive without being up front.
James showed me how to drive a stick shift, and let Christina give directions to Emmett's house. When we got there she started freaking out.
"Okay I can't do this I think we should just take pictures I can't do this, I can't.", Christina said.
"Look just calm down me and you can stay in the car while James asks, okay?", I told her.
"Okay that works.", Christina said breathing regularly again.
"Okay James, go before she melts down again", I whispered. He got out of the car and walked up to the door. He didn't even have to knock before Emmett was there, I heard Christina sigh in the backseat so I laughed. James and Emmett walked up to the car.
"Why hello Bella, I never knew James to let anyone drive her car before, you must have a real hold on him.", Emmett said and I blushed.
"Hello Christina do you mind if I sit back here with you?", Emmett asked.
"Well of course I don't mind, it would be my pleasure, and by the way you look really good in that shirt.", she said and blushed, I got the hint that she talks a lot when she's nervous. James got up front with me.
"So where we headed to?", I asked.
"How about the beach?", James said.
"La Push?", I asked.
"No, Forks beach, want me to drive since I know how to get there?", James said.
"Nope, just give me my lefts and rights and we'll be all good.", I told him.
"So how does the beach sound everybody?", James asked.
"Fine by me, just I need a bathing suit.", Christina said.
"Oh let me run in and get mine, James do you wanna borrow a pair?", Emmett asked.
"Ya I'll go in with you and the girls can take the car, and go back to the house and change. If they want to?", James said.
"We can just swing by there on the way the less driving I have to do the better.", I told him.
"Okay well b- r- b.", Emmett said and laughed. They walked off, and I turned around to face Christina.
"So are you happy that you finally get to hang out with Emmett?", I asked her.
"Well what kind of question is that, of course I am. I am super excited, it's not even funny. Plus I get to see him without a shirt on, so if I pass out in the water grab me.", Christina said. We both laughed. James and Emmett walked out with the swim trunks on and there went Christina hyperventilating again. James looked like, well a sex god. I laughed to myself.
"Ready to go girls?", Emmett asked.
"Uh-huh", Christina mumbled.
"Uh, let's go already.", I told them and they got in the car.
We drove to the house, me and Christina got out and went to into the house to go change.
JAMES POV
"So Emmett, what do you think about Christina?", I asked,
"Hey, don't get me wrong she's hot, but I don't know if I can get the nerve to ask her out.", he told me.
"Well you know the deal. I ask out Bella, you ask out Christina.", I reminded him.
"Ya, ya, ya I know, I know.", he said and smiled.
Out came Bella and Christina. Whoa, buddy did she look good. Perfect features, perfect body, I definitely had to ask her out today. They got in the car after they put there stuff in the trunk.
"Wow Bella, you look nice.", I told her.
"Thanks, you too.", she said and smiled.
"Well let's get going," I said, and we were on our way.
BELLA'S POV
"Well were here, what do you want to do?", I asked everyone.
"Let's go swimming since that's what we came here to do!", Christina said and ran to the water.
"Last one there has to by drinks!", I screamed and ran to the water also.
"Bye, Emmett!", James yelled and followed us.
"Ya'll suck!", Emmett screamed.
We were all in the water Emmett made it last so he had to buy the alcohol.
"Let's play chicken,", Emmett said, "I can carry Christina and James can carry Bella."
"Alright lets do it.", I said and everyone else agreed. I won of course. We swam for a little while and Emmett took Christina to go help with the beer. I was in my thinking zone when James splashed me.
"Hey!", I screamed at him and splashed him back. He went under water, and picked me up and we both laughed.
"Hey come walk with me.", James asked me.
"Okay?", I said and he grabbed my hand and we started walking down the beach. It was getting dark. We walked for like twenty minutes, without talking. Finally James stopped and sat down. I sat down in front of him and leaned back on him.
"This is my favorite spot, Emmett knows where it is so if they can't find us he'll come here.", he said.
"So why did you drag me all the way up here?", I asked.
"Can I ask you a serious question?", he asked.
"Sure.", I told him.
"Do you like me?", he said.
"Yes I do actually. Do you like me?", I said.
"Yes, that why I was wondering if you would go out with me?", he said.
"Yes, but I have one condition.", I said.
"And what is that?", he asked.
"I get to be the girlfriend.", I said and smiled.
"That won't be a problem.", he said then bent down and kissed me.
"Hey guys, we got the beer.", Christina said.
"And Christina wanted some Smirnoff, so we got green apple.", Emmett said and smiled at Christina.
"Well pass me a beer!", James said.
"I want a Smirnoff!", I said. Emmett gave us our drinks. Emmett sat down and Christina sat in front of him. We drank our alcohol, and just sat there for a little while.
"Hey do you think I can stay the night, Bella?", Christina asked.
"Ya, I don't care.", I told her.
"Yo, James, can I stay at your house tonight?", Emmett asked.
"Well im staying with Bella so you gotta ask her.", James said.
"Bella?", Emmett asked.
"Ya I don't mind. You and Christina can sleep in Jessica's old room.", I told them.
"That's fine with us.", they both said together and laughed.
"Well im tired ya'll ready to go?", I asked.
"Ya, but im driving.", James grabbed the keys from my pocket and ran, I chased after him, and Emmett and Christina followed. We got home after I had a fit cause James wouldn't let me drive, but he finally gave up and gave me the keys. Emmett and Christina told us goodnight and went to there room. James followed me upstairs, which he finally just picked me up and carried me, cause I couldn't do it myself.
"You light weight.", he said and laid me down on the bed.
"Shut up, and come lay down, I want you to hold me.", I told him.
"Yes, ma'am", he said and saluted, then laid down next to me. He wrapped his arms around me, and I buried my face in his chest. I felt his heart beat, and it made me feel safe. About ten minutes later his breath evened out and I knew he was asleep, and pretty soon so was I.
