Chapter 5
EPOV
Okay. Talking with Alice wasn't so bad. In the car on the way home I admitted my feelings for Bella and told her about the quiz. Of course Alice had to make sure she got 'I told you so" in the conversation, but I was so excited I didn't care. She told me I should just be honest with Bella because she feels the same way. She would help to make sure we had a little alone time tonight sans Emmett and Rose.
I saw Bella when she arrived at our house. Well, heard her first because that rust bucket of hers makes itself known way before it arrives. God, I think she is perfect just the way she is, but my sister loves to perform makeover sessions.
Emmett, Jasper and I left for the dance before the girls. Something about not being ready yet, they'll meet us there. I was disappointed because I wanted to see what Bella looked like and maybe talk to her. I spent the time in the car thinking of how I would do this tonight. I should just say hi to her when they arrive and then just ask her to dance. That way the two of us could talk without everyone butting in. Perfect right?
When we got to the school, we headed into the gym. It was decorate with balloons and stuff. Looks cheesy if you ask me, but whatever. Emmett started in on Jasper and I on how he was going to find us a woman. He has the attention span of a flea, I swear.
"Emmett" I cursed, "I told you I am not going to hook up with any skank that you pick out. Not happening."
"Oh come on Edward. One dance and see how it goes." He retorted.
Next thing I knew Tanya, one of the cheerleaders, saunters up to start flirting with Emmett. She has nailed almost every guy on the football team. Emmett is a conquest for her because he has turned her down many times because he is with Rose. So of course, what does the ass wipe do, pawns her off on me. Son of a bitch.
"Hey Edward, one dance with Tanya won't kill you." He claims.
She then takes that as her cue to try to flirt with me. "Oh Edward. One little itsy bitsy dance." YUCK is running thru my mind, but if I can do this and get her off my back then so be it. I do not want any interruptions tonight with my plan.
We head out to the dance floor and I make sure there is space between us. She keeps trying to get closer, but I keep pushing her away from my body. She is talking about god knows what. I have completely tuned her out when I glance at the doors to see Alice, Rose and Bella walk in. Holy shit. Never in my life have I seen someone so striking. My mind is trying to catch up to all of the thoughts running through my head. She has a dark blue dress on that just makes her skin glow. Her breasts are peaking out of that low neckline and I just want to plant my face in there for days. Her mahogany hair is in loose curls falling down her back. Her legs look a mile long in those fuck me shoes. Oh lord above help me get though this night without jumping on her.
The bitch Tanya in front of me breaks me from my thoughts as she grabs my face in her hands and makes me look at her.
"Aren't you listening to me Eddie? I said we should get out of here and go somewhere quite." she spews.
"Sorry Tanya, I need to go." I answer. She huffs and stalks off. I turn back to look at Bella and she is gone. I see Alice and Rose talking to Jasper and Emmett, but no Bella. I head over and I get a glare of death from the ladies. What the hell?
"Hello ladies. You look wonderful tonight." I offer.
"I don't want to hear your shit Edward." Alice spits "I cannot believe you were dancing with that whore. What were you thinking?"
"Hey, I did not want to dance with her. Emmett forced me to." I plea.
With that, Rose smacks the back of Emmett's head. "Hey Rosie, what was that for?"
"Because you are a dumbass Emmett. Edward is supposed to be with Bella. Not one of the school sluts." Rose explains. Emmett gets a look on his face like he is a kid who just got a time out.
"Where is Bella?" I ask Alice.
"She saw Tanya's hands on you and got so upset she ran out of here. I tried to stop her but she was so wounded. She is in love with you Edward and she thought you were with Tanya. I don't know where she went. She won't answer her phone."
"NO NO NO…FUCK EMMETT! If I cannot fix this I am going to kick your ass!!" I scream as I run out the gym doors. I check the parking lot, the halls. FUCK FUCK FUCK. Where did she go? I am so pissed I feel like curling up in a ball on the floor. This was my chance to tell her how I feel and make her mine. Damn it. I head back into the gym and head back over to the group. Rose is giving Emmett an earful. He apologizes, but doesn't do me any damn good does it. Alice tries to make me feel better, but I sit and sulk instead. What am I going to do now?
