Chapter 3: Dinner and Introductions
I made it back to the dorm in a daze and then suddenly Alice attacked me. She dressed me in skinny jeans, black ballet flats and a black blouse. She tortured me as she did my hair and make-up. For someone so small she seemed to be very persuasive. It must run in the family I thought…
We headed out to Alice's car. It was a really nice ride, a canary yellow Porsche 911 turbo. I soon found out the Alice drove like a maniac. The car ride that should have taken 10 minutes took us about four. We pulled into an empty parking space close to the restaurant and got out.
That was when I actually looked up to see the name, "Olive Garden," it read. I had been to this place hundreds of times, just not in this area obviously. But for some reason I was extremely nervous. I was certain that Edward wouldn't be here, I doubted that Alice really wanted him to meet me…too late, I thought.
We walked in and Alice immediately started walking towards a table in the back. I just followed with my head down trying not to trip on anything. I finally looked up when we reached the table and I noticed there were three people already sitting there.
There was a cute blond guy with some defined muscles and blue eyes. Totally not my type. He must be Jasper, I told myself. Then Alice gave him a kiss and sat down next to him while holding his hand. Yupp definitely Jasper, I mentally continued.
Next to him was a gorgeous blond. I could already feel my self-esteem taking another plummet down. She resembled Jasper, so this had to be Rosalie. And then next to her had to be Emmett. He was huge. Big muscles and brown hair and eyes. But it suited him well.
"Guys, this is Bella, my new roommate that I told you about," Alice announced.
Jasper was the first to speak, "Hey Bella, I'm Jasper," he said as he extended his hand to shake.
"Hello Bella, I'm Rosalie," she said as she smiled warmly at me. Wow I was sure that she would be bitchy, I thought, then mentally scolded myself for judging too quickly.
The next thing I knew I was in a bone-crushing hug. Gee Emmett is strong. That must run in the family too, I thought, thinking back to this morning when Alice attacked me after I told her I loved the room. Then I wanted to hit myself for my thought had taken another turn to her other brother. I sat down quickly and our waiter came to get our drink orders.
Emmett was supplying the conversation mostly while everyone would ask me questions about me every now and then. But my mind was else where and I hated him for it.
Suddenly I felt cool air next to my ear, then words followed, "Miss me?" I knew that voice too well by now because it was constantly playing in my head all afternoon.
He leaned back and said his next statement so everyone could hear, "Geez Bella, when you said you were going to meet some friends for dinner, I never anticipated that it would be my family and friends," Think of the devil, and he shall appear. I could already hear the smile in his voice that was sure to be on his face right now.
I turned slightly in my seat to see Edward standing directly behind my chair. His eyes danced in pure amusement. And sure enough, that smug grin planted on that stupid face.
He then sat down next to me. I finally looked up at the table to see everyone starring at Edward in pure anger and frustration.
Alice was the first to speak, or yell I should say, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!! AND WHY ARE YOU HARRASSING MY NEW BEST FRIEND?!"
Note to self, never make Alice angry. Emmett was next, "HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW BELLA!?"
Everyone at the table except for Edward and I were outraged. I was just embarrassed and blushed like crazy, whereas Edward was just amused.
"Well, Bella and I had a little run in at the library this afternoon," He smiled, wickedly amused. He knew that it sounded like we did more than talking and I'm sure that's what he intended.
Then everyone turned to me. "Uh-h-h y-yeah, I kinda met Edward w-while reading," I said.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER?!?!?!" Alice and Emmett yelled in unison.
"Absolutely nothing," Edward said, I could detect the sadness in his voice as he was obviously remembering me turning him down this afternoon. He then glanced at me for confirmation to his story. I just nodded, then excused myself to the bathroom.
When I got back, I noticed that Edward was gone. "Don't worry, we got rid of him," Jasper said as he noticed me starring at the now empty chair. I just nodded and ordered the soup, salad and breadsticks meal. I tried my best to ignore the nagging feeling of guilt that he had been forced to leave because of me, and tried joining in the conversation around me.
Every few minutes Alice and Rosalie would give me glances of worriment but I just smiled in encouragement and I knew that everyone knew that nothing happened between Edward and me at the library this afternoon.
Soon we left after Emmett practically ate the entire restaurant. When we made it back to the dorm, I took a shower and got ready for bed. I said goodnight to Alice who was playing games on her laptop while she was sitting in bed.
I normally would have read before going to sleep, but today had been very exhausting, and tomorrow I would start new classes. But no matter what I tried to think about, all I could see were those electric green eyes that now haunted my dreams…
