EPOV
I'm such a fucking idiot.
Bye Bella.
That's all I can come with? In three hours?
Other than the hair comment, of course, but that doesn't count.
What the fuck was wrong with me? Why couldn't I have a nice normal conversation with a woman?
Now Nessie on the other hand, that was the cutest freaking kid ever. I was relived when she confirmed Bella was her sister. I had a small worry that Alice had heard wrong and she was actually Bella's daughter. Though Bella looked a little young to be a mother to a kid Nessie's age.
I'd fished some information out of Nessie about Bella. She was only nineteen, but as I looked at her, I noticed she carried herself like she was about ten years older than she was. Nessie said that their parents had died, and I suddenly understood why Bella seemed so mature for her age. She had to take care of her sister. Nessie didn't say when their parents died, so for all I knew, Bella could have been taking care of Nessie for years.
"Smooth." Jasper laughed as we watch Bella walk away.
"Shut up." I groaned.
"Bye Bella." He mocked me.
I huffed and punched him in the arm, standing up.
"I'm gonna go back to my room. Call me when you guys are ready to get dinner." I muttered, stalking off so I could sulk in my room.
The ship was subtly rocking along with the water, waves crashing against the sides. Thank God I didn't get sea sick, or I'd probably be barfing over the edge.
Making it to my room, I threw myself down on the bed, cursing quietly to myself about my stupidity.
She probably thought I was some weirdo idiot.
The swaying motion of the ship was making me tired, so I decided to go ahead and sleep for a while before Alice came by to drag me down to dinner.
