Chapter 9

Repercussions

EPOV

Jesus, Mary and Joseph! That was literally the most fucked up spectacle I have ever witnessed. Don't get me wrong, I like a good girl fight as much as the next guy, but shit! Did this one have to involve the girl's friend that I have trying to get off my mind for the last few months?

When I gave her my cell number at the beginning of the summer I literally would wait for it to ring, wishing each time it would be her. I just needed to hear her voice again, smell her scent and gaze into her eyes. But I was let down every time I looked at the caller id, she never did call. So I tried my damnedest to push her to the side, but I just couldn't. There was just something about her, almost like fate was playing her hand and dealt Bella straight to me. Now I am pretty sure after the On the Border beat down her friend gave Jessica, Bella will probably never speak to me again.

What was I thinking going out with Jessica Stanley anyway?

It wasn't like I was looking for a date; I ran into Jessica at the grocery store while I was picking some things up for mom, she just walked up and struck up a conversation. Some how I do not think this was her first time to do this. She asked if I wanted to join her for drinks tonight and I figured it wouldn't hurt. I have not really gone out since moving here, and honestly I was getting stir crazy being in the house with mom and dad all the time. So I accepted Jessica's invite.

Man! That turned out bad! I shake my head returning my attentions to Jessica who is still trying to compose herself in the passenger seat of my car. I can't get this girl home fast enough! Even though her blouse is torn to hell and back, her face has red splotches all over it and she is sporting a bloody lip, she is still looking at me like she thinks something is going to happen when I take her home. Hate to break it to you honey, but that is not going to happen. There is just one woman I want and she will probably never speak to me again. I need to make this right with Bella.

When I walked in to the bar and saw her sitting there with her friends, it was like my heart had wings, I had totally forgotten that I was there with plastic Barbie. Then when said plastic Barbie knew her, I just about died. I was going to try and suggest another restaurant, but Jessica had to go over and speak. The look on Bella's face when she saw who was with her arch nemesis was horrific to say the least. She looked at me like I was the Anti-Christ, all I wanted to do was take her into my arms and kiss her senseless.

I pull up to Jessica's house, thanking God we're finally here!

"Uh…um…Eddie? Would you like to come up for a night cap?" I look over at Jessica and her mangled face. Man, that elf sure did a number on her. I can't help but laugh as I look at her.

Still not able to control my laughter as I try to answer her, "I honestly do not think that would be such a good idea Jessica." I say between guffaws. She unhooks her seat belt and gets out of my Volvo and slams the door hard. Thank God that is over with!

BPOV

My head is aching, my mouth is dry and all I want is for that damn sun to go away! What the hell happened last night? It is apparent I drank way too much. I will myself out of the bed and amble over to the bathroom, I look up and groan. God I look like hell!

I go about my morning routine, and head downstairs to the kitchen. Alice and Jasper are sitting at the bar, heads hung down over their orange juice. "Morning guys" they both look up and groan and look back down, I chuckle to myself. "So Ally, what the hell was that last night? Were you trying out for the UFC or something?"

"Don't even start Bella, you know about the history between me and that slut; if I am remembering correctly you have bad blood with her too. I was just doing the greater Phoenix area a favor by taking that bitch out before she infests millions of other unsuspecting men…like Edward Cullen." She raises her eyebrow at me. Jasper looks up shakes his head and goes back to staring at his juice. Damn that pixie is good.

"Shut it Alice! You saw him last night, he could barely care less that I was there. Who was I fooling anyway?" I shake my head as I grab the Cap'n Crunch Berries out of the cabinet.

"Bella evidently you weren't paying attention, because even as I was laying the smack down on that skank, I saw that Edward never once took his eyes off of you. I could have ripped all of that succubus's clothes off and he could have cared less. He. Was. Watching. YOU. Bella! The man is infatuated." She smirks.

"Get for real Alice." I say rolling my eyes as I set my cereal bowl down.

Jasper finally is broken from his OJ induced trance, "Seriously, Bella it is true. Even I noticed it. Are you that clueless?"

Am I? I guess I am. Was I too distracted by all that was happening last night to notice? What the hell do I do now? Call him? No! I know! I will see him Monday when he comes out for the scheduled vet call, maybe then all my questions will be answered.

Just then Alice is jumping out of her chair, "Bella there is somebody at the door!" She runs out of the kitchen to the front door and returns shortly with a huge bouquet of red and white roses.

Jasper jumps up off his stool, "ALICE! What the hell? Who is sending you roses?"

"Calm down Jas, they are not for me….They are for Bella."

Wait! What? Did she just say those are for me? Surely this is some kind of sick joke, I never get flowers!

"Come on Al, that is not funny, who are they really for?" I ask her as I reach for the card attached to the flowers. I grab the card off and open it, and written in the neatest penmanship I have seen is simply:

Look forward to seeing you on Monday.

Edward

I am blushing ten shades of red by now. Alice rips the card from my hand. "Oh my God, Bella, see I was right! Never doubt me! You should know that by now!" She gloats.

Well this changes everything!
