Hi everyone! Thank you for reading my story! So here is chapter 2! It's a bit longer than the first one. I know Edward hasn't been mentioned a lot but give it time he will be featuring a lot more in Chapter 3 ;) Enjoy Chapter 2 for now though :)
Alice had to literally drag me into dorm block C as I was still rather dazed by Prince sex on legs.
"Hey Alice, what year are you in?" I asked and wanted to high five my own face for, not asking her earlier.
"I'm a sophomore and yes I did have classes with the luscious prince," she said as she winked at me. My face must be looking like a tomato at this stage. I blush, a lot!
"Oh, really that cool. What's he like?" I asked in a disinterested tone, or at least what I thought was a disinterested tone, but the look on Alice's face made it clear I failed.
"His an absolute jackass. Thinks he's too good for everyone and that we should all bow down to him," she said.
"Oh well, guess that was expected and all since he's a prince. I didn't think he would be nice or anything." I said in a deflated tone looking down at my shoes. I don't know why I cared, it's not like I want to date him. I just want to lick him or have him lick me. Shit I need to stop this line of thinking! I already need to change my panties as it is.
We continued chatting about all the fun things to do on campus. Apparently there is even a nightclub for students on campus that's open on the weekends. Alice went through the list of social events, which scared the shit out of me. The amount of balls this place has is insane! This first one up is in two months for Prince Edwards birthday. Yup, there is a ball for every royal family members birthday.
We were standing outside dorm room 213, the room that'll be my home for the next year. I tried listing if Tanya was already there before unlocking it. I didn't hear anything and Alice and I went inside. The room was larger than I expected. There was a double bed on either side of the room. Each side had a desk with a book shelve above it and a sizeable closet. The best part was that each dorm room had its own bathroom. No communal bathrooms! Happy days!
Alice stayed and helped me unpack all my stuff. We kept talking and she told me which Professors to avoid. Prof. Banner was a pervert that liked looking up girls skirts. I shall be staying far away from him thank you very much! We went through my schedule of class and found that we share an elective. As we have normal electives as well as magical ones the university made them available in both freshman and sophomore year. We both got the normal elective, Biology 101. Our excitement was short lived as the Professor is none other then pervert Banner! We were in the middle of complaining about Banner when suddenly the door swung open with a loud crash against the wall and in walked the roommate from hell. She was taller than me and looked like a stick... a very fake stick at that. She had long strawberry blonde hair that looked like half of it's fake. She had so much makeup on it looked like cake bake! Her long fake lashes cover piercing blue eyes. Her boobs were pressed up to her chest and looked like they are rock hard. Those things could suffocate you! She was wearing the lowest cut top I have ever seen. She might as well be walking around in a bra since the top covered hardly anything really. The same could be said for her skirt. It was denim and tight and barely covered her ass. Kinda looked like it would pop open any minute. The only non-fake thing I found about her was her lovely tan. I hated her simply for that since I nearly white enough to an albino and the sun only turns me into a flaming red tomato. I suddenly felt very plain. I was average at best. I was 5'6, slim built with chocolate brown eyes and long mahogany wavy hair. My boobs and ass were moderate in size, especially compared to torpedo Tanya. By the way, she is dressed and her posture I can see why Alice refer to her a skanky hoe. This girl didn't look like she simply had a stick up her ass, I'm sure there's an entire tree up there.
She dropped her, what I'm assuming to be a fancy designer's bag on her bed and turned to look at us. Well, it was more like a glare really.
"Oh great! Which one of you will be my roommate? Is it you Tinkerbelle Alice?" she all but sneered at us.
Someone should put a muzzle on this girl! I turned to look at Alice and the little pixie was giving torpedo Tanya the best bitch glare I have ever seen! Note to self: Don't mess with Alice!
"No, you skanky hoe, I'm not your roommate. If you actually bothered reading your registration pack you would know that Bella is your roommate. But I suppose reading must be hard for you considering your plastic tits are nearly covering your eyes at this stage or have all that hairspray killed off all your brain cells?" Alice nearly growled at her.
"Fuck you Alice! My tits are not fake and I have more brains than any of you! You would be lucky to have me as a fucking room you stupid midget!" Tanya screamed nearly spitting all over the place.
My eyes must look like saucers by now, I just couldn't stop staring at them.
"Oh, please your tits are so plastic you can recycle them! And the only thing filling your fucking brain is hairspray you dumb bitch!" Alice yelled at Tanya. Poor Alice was starting to turn red in the face. I need to stop her and get her out, there is clearly some bad history between the two of them. I grabbed Alice's hands and said "She's not worth it Al, let's just leave her to pump up her tits some more." and pulled her towards the door. We were out the door and walking towards Alice's room when torpedo talked again.
"Oh Alice! Jazz asked me to say hi to you. He was looking so fine this summer. He looked even better naked." she said and winked at us. I had to chase after Alice as she just started running. Damn that girl was fast or maybe I'm just really unfit. Ah, don't look at me like that! I don't believe in running unless something is chasing you.
I finally manage to catch up with her. She was sitting on the edge of this beautiful round fountain. It was made out of different stones and had three square tiers in the middle that had the water flowing out the top one and down the rest. It was so peaceful here. Poor Alice was swirling her finger in the water and trying not to let me see she's crying. I have no idea what to do or how to comfort her. Em has been my only friend and he's a guy that has cried once in his life! I'm not prepared for this!
I slowly made my way over to her and sit on the fountain ledge so that I was facing her. I mimicked her movement in the fountain and created patterns in the water with my finger. I figured she would start talking when she was ready. After a few minutes of silence, she let out a big sigh and turned to face me. Her eyes were puffy and red, but she still manage to look cute. When I cry I look like I belong in the freak show.
"Jazz is Jasper Whitlock. He's the love of my life. God I really just love him so much. But he doesn't even know who I am anymore." she said between sobs. Her voice was so soft and low. Gone was the hyper over friendly girl I met a few hours ago. The girl sitting in front of me with tears in her eyes is broken. I felt my heart clench for her. Before I had time to respond she spoke again.
"He is the most handsome guy I have ever met and not just on the outside. I met him when I was ten. He was twelve at the time. I was running along the beach looking for seashells. I found the perfect seashell for my collection and as I went to pick it up a wave came crashing over my feet. That wave brought a jellyfish along with it. The jellyfish got tangled up in my feet and I started screaming and crying. Jasper must have heard me cause the next thing I saw was him trying to push the jellyfish away with his hands. He picked me up bridal style and started walking with me. He kept telling me that I'll be ok and that his dad will help take away the pain. I kept crying out of pain and then I realized that I forgot my seashell and I started crying harder. He was so sweet asking me what's wrong and he kept calling me darling." she said as she was full on sobbing at this stage. I started rubbing her back and encourage her to continue. After a few deep breaths she continued.
"He carried me for nearly half a mile up to his parents house. He yelled for his dad to come and help me. He kissed my forehead and promised me the pain will go away soon. His parents came rushing to our aid. His dad put some medicine on my legs that took the pain away while his mother hugged me and stroked my hair. I was starting to feel sleepy and just before I fell asleep I heard his mother ask him if his hands got stung by the jellyfish too. His hands must have been burning in pain. I forgot that he pushed the jellyfish away from my legs and it must've stung him too. I couldn't believe that he would carry me that far while in so much pain. He really was my hero. That was the day I fell in love with Jasper. When I woke up later that day I was in my own bed. They must have found my parents and taken me home. I cried myself to sleep cause I knew I'd never see him again but as luck has it I saw him last year for the first time in 8 years. He's a student here. I've never had the guts to go up to him and talk to him. He never really sees me, like I said he doesn't know who I am anymore." she said in such a low voice that if you weren't listening you wouldn't have heard a word.
I moved closer to her and gave her a hug and let her cry it out. I couldn't relate to what she was going through cause I have never been in love. My heart broke for her though.
"Alice, why are you so afraid to talk to him? Maybe he does remember who you are and just doesn't recognize you all grown up." I said in a soft tone.
"He is way out of my league and I doubt he'd even give me the time of day. And why would he remember the helpless girl from 8 years ago anyway. I'm just a forgotten memory for him." she sobbed into my shoulder.
"Al I don't understand why you think his out of your language. You're gorgeous and funny and any guy would be lucky to have you." I tried reasoning with her.
"You don't know what he looks like. He's a Greek god! He has the most amazing baby blue eyes that stare right into my soul. He is tall and tanned with wavy blonde hair. He looks like he belongs on a surfing magazine cover. And he is the cousin of Prince Edward which makes him even more out of my league. He is part of the royal family Bella! He'd never look at some like me." she said as she wiped her eyes and got up and started walking towards the dorms.
It took me a minute to register what she just said to me. He was part of the royal family. I'm guessing they are all drop dead gorgeous. I still think there is a chance he remembers her. You don't get stung by a jellyfish for a girl and just forget about her. I need to find a way to get Alice to talk to Jasper. I'm not big on romance, but I can't bear to see Alice so heartbroken. I need Emmett's help to come up with plan, 'Get Alice and Jasper together'. Yeah, I'm sure the two of us will come up with a brilliant plan. Maybe we should start watching romcoms instead of horror and gore.
"Alice wait up! Where are you rushing off too?" I asked out of breath as I ran to catch up with her.
"We made plans with Emmett and we are going to be late," she said in a 'well duh' kind of voice.
"Oh yeah. I didn't realize the time." I said as I checked my watch. Wow, can't believe we were at the fountain for an hour. We were power walking to the coffee shop Alice told Em to meet us at. Damn Alice is really fast. My lungs are burning, I think I've gotten enough exercise for a decade! We were meeting up at Billy's Brew. Alice said it is the nicest coffee shop on campus and that their chai latte's are to die for. I'm a sucker for good coffee, it has become my lifeline in the past couple of years. Em was waiting outside Billy's for us and when he saw us he gave each of us a massive bear hug. I really do love Em's hugs. After the hello's we walked inside. Wow, I already love this place. It was unique and wasn't a carbon copy of all these shitty modern coffee places like Starbucks. This place was original and old school. One wall was completely covered with bookshelves and had a sign that said 'feel free to read just remember to return'. It had different couches and armchairs placed around the cafe with artistic wooden tables. This place just had a homey feel to it. I knew this will be our hangout place for sure.
"Wow Alice, this place is awesome! I love it." I said and uncharacteristically gave her a hug.
"Yeah Ally, Bells here just found her nirvana. She loves books and coffee even more so," he said while laughing at me.
"Oh well then you are in the perfect place. Plus the owners son works here and he is delicious!" she said while winking at me.
"I'll go get us some seats and you girls get us some coffee. I want my usual Bells and a chocolate muffin if they have please," he said as he tried handing me some cash. I just swatted him away. I knew Em's parents aren't the wealthiest and it was hard enough sending him here so I would never take money off him. My parents left me with a big inheritance so I can live a very comfy lifestyle so I have no need for his money.
"Oh, their muffins are out of this world!" Alice squeaked and ran towards the counter.
I just chuckled and followed her. I was glad to see the return of happy Alice. Behind the counter stood a very tall native American guy. He was nearly as tall and burly as Em. He had shoulder length black hair and such beautiful skin you just wanna stroke it. He had a friendly smile and shining black eyes.
"Hello, pretty ladies. What can I get you?" he said in a rustic voice giving us a big smile. He was attractive, but I couldn't stop myself from comparing him to Edward. I wonder what Edward's voice was like and how it would sound if he was moaning my name. Damn it Bella, stop that kind of thinking! YOU WILL NEVER HAVE HIM! Even so I couldn't get him and those eyes out of my head.
"Hey Jake! How was your summer? I'll have a chai latte and a blueberry muffin thanks." Alice said and broke me out of my thoughts.
"Summer was good. Glad to be back though, how about you Alice?"
"Urg same old same old. Did some shopping and partying. I'm so glad we are back too. I really missed this place."
"Yeah, it really feels like home now. I'll be sad when we finish here. And what about you gorgeous? What can I get you?" he said to me and I'm pretty sure he was flirting with me.
Suddenly the air around me changed and it felt like all the air has left my body. It was like the air was suddenly electrically charged and everything seemed to quite. I just shook it off as me being weird.
"Um hi Jake. I'm Bella, I'm new this year. Can I get two Americanos and one chocolate muffin and a slice of carrot cake? The humming electricity was still in the air and it felt like it was getting closer to me.
"Nice to meet you Bella. I'm sure we will get to know each other better soon," he said as he winked at me. I heard a low growl from behind me and my heart stopped. I slowly turned around to try and find where it came from and what I found made me forget to breathe. I was staring into pools of smoldering green and I couldn't look away. There in front of me stood none other than Prince Edward and fuck me he looks even better up close. Those berry full lips were calling my name. Hold on someone was actually calling my name and pulling on my sleeve. Alice broke me out of my haze as our coffee's were done. I grabbed my stuff and thanked Jake which he returned with another wink and I could've sworn I heard that growl again. We made it to our table and I had to remember how to breathe like a normal person. It was not an easy task as my eyes landed back on Edward. He was putting in his order so he had is back to me. My eyes nearly fell out when they landed on his perfects ass. I wonder how amazing that ass would look naked... with my hands on it. Stop thinking about him Swan! You are a strong independent woman who will not let a Greek god distract her like this! Alice and Em were chatting away, but I heard nothing. No matter what I say to myself I still couldn't take my eyes off him. He was like a magnet and I'm helpless fighting the pull. He got his coffee and made his way out of the cafe but when he reached the door he looked over his shoulder and found my eyes. I once again forgot how to breathe. I am about 30 seconds away from hyperventilating. He gave me one of the sexiest smirks anyone has ever seen before he turned and left. My panties are soaked and my heart is going to crack my ribs it's beating that fast!
I turned to face my friends and they just gave me a knowing smile and lucky for me didn't say anything about me mentally fucking Edward. We chatted away and finished the most amazing coffee and carrot cake ever before we headed back to our dorms. I was dreading going back to my room, back to torpedo Tanya.
