Model This

Chapter 5: I thought…

Since I've had such awesome reviews, here's chapter 5! I hope you love me for this. :P

-Model This-

"C'mon, Bella. Don't be such a baby. A date with Edward Mason will not kill you."

I snorted and got up from the chair Alice had forced me to sit in. She had insisted on doing my hair and make-up for my date with Edward. No matter how much I fought, I somehow ended up in the chair. Alice brought over the outfit she had picked for my date. I sighed dramatically.

"Alice, I can dress myself. You and Rose don't have to dress me up all the time."

"If we didn't dress you, Bella dearest, then you'd be fired and would never be allowed to model again."

I crossed my arms and glared at the pixie. I was getting really tired of being treated like a baby.

"I am doing my own make-up and hair and I'm dressing myself, Alice."

Alice huffed and walked out of my bathroom.

"Good luck!"

I sighed and sat back down and did my make-up. Once I was done getting ready I actually looked pretty good. I pulled on a white tube-top and a pair of black skinny jeans. I quickly pulled on my white flats when the doorbell rang.

I swear I was not walking to the door quickly because I was excited…I have my own reasons. I opened the door and smiled when I saw Edward on the other side. He had a blue button-down tucked into a pair of black dress pants.

"You look lovely this evening," he said with a smile.

I looked down a blushed.

"You don't look too bad, yourself."

He stepped out of the way and motioned for me to walk out. I grabbed my purse and locked the door. We walked out to Edward's silver Volvo which he stroked on the way to the drivers' side. Once we got in he started speeding down the road.

"Don't you think you're going a little fast?"

He smirked at the nervous tone in my voice.

"We'll be okay. You worry way too much, Bella."

He pulled up to a pizza place and held the door open for me as we walked in. Once we sat down and were looking at the menus, I heard a voice that I despised.

"Oh, Eddie! I didn't know you were going to be here!"

I put the fake smile on my face as Edward looked up at Tanya.

"If you would have told me we could have come together," she purred to Edward.

"Sorry to disappoint, Tanya, but I'm on a date. In case you hadn't noticed."

That was the first time Tanya looked over and actually noticed my presence.

"Oh. I didn't see you there, Isabella."

I nodded curtly and looked back down at the menu. I was hoping that she would go away soon. I didn't want her ruining Edward and I's first real date.

"Well, I came here alone. Is it okay if I join, Eddie?"

His hand instantly went to his hair. It was one of his nervous habits.

"Any other time I'd say yes, Tanya. But, we're on a date right now…"

Tanya nodded with a sad look on her face.

"Okay. I understand."

She walked away with her back hunched and I was praying that Edward would not invite her back. She left and I had a sigh of relief.

"Tanya seems to think that I have an undying love for her," Edward stated. "I can't stand her."

I started laughing and the waitress gave me a weird look when she came to take our order. We ordered our personal pizzas when I heard a crash outside the restaurant. Edward got an aggravated look.

"I hope that's not who I think it is," he said.

I looked out the window and felt the same aggravation. The paparazzi had decided to join in our date. A man came out of the kitchen and he was giving orders to some of the waiters. I guessed that he was the boss. Some of the bigger guys went outside and got the paparazzi away from the door.

"Can we ever get some alone time?"

I shook my head at Edward. In our line of work, alone time was impossible.

"Do you just want to go to my place? I can cook us dinner," Edward said.

"Yeah, let's go there."

The boss came over and apologized profusely for the commotion. Edward interrupted,

"It's okay, sir. Could we just take our pizzas to go?"

He nodded and continued apologizing while yelling at a waitress to get our pizzas. Edward paid and we snuck out the back, arriving at his house just ten minutes later. Once we got inside I could not stop laughing. Edward looked at me like I was crazy.

"You never have a dull moment in our lives, Edward." I explained between laughs.

He just shook his head at me and handed me my to-go container.

"I thought you were going to cook for us," I said in a disappointed voice.

He chuckled as he brought in the hot sauce.

"I could always cook for us another time. We don't want to let this delicious pizza go to waste," he explained in a 'duh' voice.

I scowled at him when he turned on the TV. I didn't mind watching sports, but this was supposed to be a date. I took a bite of my pizza and wasted no time in voicing my thoughts.

"Bella, we had to leave from our date. Now we're just hanging out," he said in an exasperated voice.

"As far as I remember, you said we'd continue our date here."

"Maybe I changed my mind. You really need to learn on how to get a hold on your temper, Isabella."

I stood up and dumped my water on him. I thought that he was actually going to be the good guy this time. Oh, how wrong I was. I stormed out before he had a chance anything and took a cab back to my condo. I was done with Edward Mason; the world would know it after my interview tomorrow.
