Chapter 6
Bpov
When I woke up I was in my bed Edward's arms around me, but I couldn't remember coming upstairs.
"Edward how did I get up here?" I asked sleepily.
"We fell asleep downstairs and when I woke up you were shivering so I thought you might be more comfortable up here. I brought you up then fell asleep with you."
I turned my head so I was looking directly at Edward finding his beautiful green eyes looking into mine. His eyes were mesmerizing, I couldn't look away.
"You know, you have the most beautiful chocolate brown eyes I've ever seen."
I laughed, feeling suddenly insecure at the compliment.
"What are you laughing at love?"
"Just what you said about my eyes. I wouldn't call them beautiful."
"I would," he said quietly. Edward jumped off the bed and held out his hand for me and I happily took it, feeling the warmth of his words ripple through me. Edward pulled me up, pulling me close to him, wrapping his arms around my waist. He leaned in and kissed my lips gently, but pulled away at the sound of the door opening. I looked over to see Alice standing at the door .
"Hey you guys. Do you want to go with me, Jazz, Em, and Rose? We're going out to breakfast and then to do a little shopping." She looked at us for an answer, belatedly noticing Edward's hold on me.
"Oh I'm so sorry. Am I interrupting something?"
"No, not at all." I looked to Edward for an answer he nodded, letting his hands drop from my waist before walking out of the room.
"Yeah Ali we'll go. Just let me get dressed then I'll be down."
"Ok Bells. I'll be downstairs with the others. Hurry ok?" Alice danced out of my room and down the stairs. I walked over to my closet and pulled out a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a black and grey stripped shirt. I pulled on the clothes I'd selected then got down on the floor, rummaging around under my bed, and pulled out my black high top converse. I yanked on my shoes, put mousse in my hair, and ran downstairs. Everyone was waiting in the living room, sitting in pairs. But the person who caught my eye was Edward. He was sitting on the arm of the loveseat wearing a long sleeve powder blue button down shirt and khaki pants. He looked amazing.
"Are we all ready to go?" Alice asked impatiently.
"Yeah," everyone said in unison.
"Where we going for breakfast Al?" Emmett asked.
"We're going to IHOP. They have the best pancakes ever."
"Sounds good." We all headed out the door. I walked over to Alice's car and started to open the door but she locked the door so I couldn't get in.
"Why did you do that Alice? I'm trying to get in."
"Because Jasper is riding with me and you're riding with Edward, Rose and Emmett."
I laughed at Alice, walking over to Edwards Volvo, and hopped in the front seat.
"Are we ready to go?" Edward asked as he looked back at Rose and Emmett. They nodded briefly before turning back to each other and started making out in the backseat. I looked at Edward's radio and it looked like it had a CD in it so I turned it up. When I did a soft melody came on I recognized it at once. It was Debussy by Clair de Lune.
"You like Debussy?" He asked shyly.
"Yeah Clair de Lune is great."
He smiled softly and pulled out of the driveway, heading towards the IHOP. We arrived in 10 minutes and well before Alice, thanks to his crazy fast driving. We waited for Alice to pull up, and then we jumped out of his car and headed inside to get a table. We walked up to the front desk were a small blonde girl stood. Her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw Edward. She smiled then greeted us.
"Hello. I'm Lauren. How may I help you?"
"We need a table for six," Emmett said loudly.
"Right this way." She led us to a big booth in the middle of the room then turned to face us.
"There are no available waiters right now, so I'll take your order. What would you guys like?"
"Pancakes," Alice squealed.
"I'll have the same as her," Jasper said.
"I want eggs, bacon, sausage, a breakfast biscuit, pancakes, and some coffee," Emmett said causing the waitresses eyes to widen.
"I would just like some coffee," Rose said.
"What do you want Edward?" I asked because this was my first time to IHOP and I didn't know what was good.
"I'm getting the breakfast platter."
The waitress wrote it down then looked at me.
"I'll have the same." She rolled her eyes then walked away.
"Did you see the way she was looking at you Edward?" I asked, feeling a little jealous, trying to play it off as lighthearted teasing.
"What do you mean?" He asked, oblivious of the effect he had on girls, and even some guys.
"Come on Edward," I said rolling my eyes."That girl was practically drooling all over you. Tell me you didn't notice that," I said exasperated. "I bet they did have waiters available and she just wanted to take your order."
"Bella, I'm sorry. I guess I never really noticed before. I really don't care about any of those girls. I only care about you."
A wave of relief washed over me and I felt warmth spread through me at his words. Then I heard a high pitched squeal that wasn't Alice's and turned to see a petite girl with strawberry blonde hair making her way over to our table.
"Eddie! I've missed you so much," she said pushing me out of the booth.
"Tanya go away!" Edward hissed, getting to his feet. He pushed past the small girl and reached down to help me to my feet.
Tears started to well up in her eyes. "Edward, I don't like the way we left things," she pouted, big crocodile tears pouring down her face. "Can you please talk to me?"
"Fine Tanya,talk."
"I mean privately," She whined loudly, drawing half the room's attention. Edward looked to me apologetically. "I'll be right back," he promised before following Tanya out the door. I watched him walk outside with her and then slid into the booth.
"Who is that girl?" I asked.
"That's Tanya, Edward's ex-girlfriend," Emmett answered. "They used to be pretty tight. I'm not really sure what happened between them," he said, a confused look on his face.
I jumped out of my seat and so did Rose and Alice.
"Where are you guys going?" The boys asked.
"To get Edward away from Tanya," I said over my shoulder as we all walked to the door.
When we got outside I saw Edward and Tanya standing by his car. Tanya's lips formed a pouty smile, her eyes glued to Edward. She glanced up and saw me, flashing me a triumphant smile. She pulled Edward to her, her lips crashing into his. I stopped, frozen to the spot I stood. My heart twisted painfully in my chest as I watched, heartbroken as I saw Edwards arms move to grasp Tanya's shoulders. I couldn't stop the agonized cry that escaped my lips. I saw Edward's back stiffen, watching as he pulled away, turning to see me. I felt a stabbing pain in my heart, tears falling down my face. I turned around to look at Rose and Alice, who had walked up seconds after I had.
"I need to get out of here," I said quietly, my voice breaking as a new wave of tears fell down my face. Alice nodded sympathetically, pulling me to her side and placing an arm around my shoulders protectively. She glared at Edward before steering me to her car.
"Bella!" Edward called, pulling away from Tanya who had been desperately clinging to him."Bella, wait. Let me explain," he called out, rushing forward only to be confronted by a furious Rose. "Stay the hell away from her," she hissed, standing in his way. I walked silently over to Alice's Porsche, ignoring Edwards continued attempts at explanation, getting into the passenger side without a backward glance.
Alice got into her Porsche, driving away with a squeal of her tires.
"Bella I'm so sorry," Alice said quietly. "I never would have thought Edward would do something like this."
"Neither did I," I said brokenly. I felt hot tears roll down my cheeks. I reached up and angrily wiped them away."Can you take me to a hotel?"
"Absolutely. I'm here for you Bella. Whatever you need," Alice said firmly. "You know that right?"
I nodded then turned to look out the window. My phone started ringing "My Boo" by Usher, startling me. I didn't have to look at the ID to know who it was. I flipped it open silently then threw it out the window.
"Alice, looks like you won't be able to call me on my cell phone. I'll give you the hotel room number when we get there."
She nodded solemnly then went back to driving. I looked back out the window at the passing city, wondering what tomorrow would bring.
