Hey guys, so here is chapter 7. I figured I quickly answer some questions from the review. Firstly, Edward is very possessive of Bella, because of the way he lost his sister his afraid of losing anyone else. Next Jasper isn't really avoiding Alice, it's just he is unsure of how to approach her. All other questions will be answered in future chapters. Thanks for reading guys and enjoy!
I stood at the counter waiting for Alice's coffee and trying really hard to eavesdrop on Edward and Rosalie's conversation. Yeah, I know eavesdropping is bad and shit but I'm too curious to care. I couldn't hear what they were saying to each other, but it sounded like they were having a heated argument. I grabbed Alice's coffee and was just about to head back to the table when another girl joined Edward and Rosalie in the line. She was dropped dead gorgeous. She had shiny long black hair and piercing gray eyes. Her face looked like that of a models' and was completed with full pouty lips that may or may not be fake. She had huge tits just like Tanya but she dressed a tad more classy and by that I mean her clothing covered more then underwear would.
She put her hand on Edward's shoulder and leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek. This would look completely innocent if it was someone else doing it, but the look in this girl's eyes was enough to tell you that she wants him. I forced my feet to keep moving to our table and not to turn back and rip her hand of Edward. Shit, when did I become so possessive? This is not healthy Bella! Stop obsessing. And with that in mind I focused on my friends and ignored the guy who seems to have a hold on my heart. After Alice finished her coffee we all went to our lectures. I promised Alice that I'll come by her dorm room later on so we can catch up. The day flew by and nothing interesting happened. I had two lectures which neither where of the magical nature. I didn't see Edward again that day. I had no idea where to look for him or how to contact him. I really wanted to kick my own ass for, not exchanging numbers with him.
I had about a hour to kill before I had to meet Alice at her dorm room. I didn't want to have to deal with torpedo Tanya so I decided to head to the library instead. It took me about ten minutes to actually locate the library. The bloody place is huge and it's so easy to get lost. The library entrance had floor to ceiling double doors with intricate designs on them. The doors looked way to heavy to push and I had no idea how to open them. I walked closer to the doors to see if I can find a way to open it. I ran my hand over the designs on the doors amazed at the amount of detail.
"What are you doing?" a very feminine voice asked behind me. I nearly jumped out of my skin at her voice. I turned around to find blonde bombshell, Rosalie Cullen, in front of me with a hand on the hip. Well this should be interesting.
"Oh umm I was just trying to find a way to open the door." I said trying to sound less stupid then I felt.
"You turn the knob and the door will open itself." she said while staring at me.
"Oh right that makes sense I guess. Thanks." I said turning around to head to the library.
"Are you in a relationship with the big burly guy you are always around?" she asked sounding nervous. Why do people always think me and Emmett are together?
"His name is Emmett and why do you care?" I asked not sure where she's going with this.
"I don't care who you date but if you get involved with my brother you better not hurt him or else I will come after you." she warned with the best bitch face I have ever seen. I didn't even bother to respond to her. I turned around to head into the library. Just as I went to turn the knob I felt someone grab onto my arm.
"Just wait ok. I'm sorry if I'm coming off as a bitch. Do you maybe want to go get coffee and go for a walk and talk?" she asked looking so unsure of herself. Have to say I was not expecting that. I checked the time and saw that I have about half a hour left before I need to head to Alice's room.
"Yeah, ok sure but I don't have a lot of time. I have to meet my friend Alice in a bit." I said and started walking towards Billy's. She silently followed me to Billy's and we got our coffee's and headed outside.
"Ok, where do you wanna walk to? I don't know the grounds at all." I said while sipping on my liquid heaven.
"There is a small park with benches that way." she said while pointing to the opposite of the dorm blocks. We started walking toward the park in comfortable silence. I have to admit that it was relaxing just walking and enjoying my coffee and the silence wasn't awkward but I know she has something to talk about and we don't have a lot of time.
"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked.
"Firstly I should probably introduce myself properly. I'm Rosalie," she said while extending her hand towards me.
"I'm Bella. It's nice to meet you Rosalie." I said while shaking her hand. We were both smiling at how silly this was.
"It's nice to meet you too Bella. I really am sorry for being a bitch earlier. I was really hoping we could be friends." she said nervously. I could tell she was being sincere. It was staring to feel like I entered an alternate universe where I'm friends with royalty.
"It's ok, you weren't that bad. I'd like to be friends too." I said giving her a reassuring smile.
"So what is the story with you and Emmett?"
"Ha, we are just friends. He has been my best friend since we were five. Why do you ask?"
"Umm well, it's just you too looked very close in defense and I was just wondering," she said while still not making eye contact. Oh, there is more to her questions about Em for sure.
"Well, we grew up together and have been there for each other through everything. But we will never be anything romantic. Emmett is too much like a goofy older brother. It would just feel weird." I said and notice her smile at that.
"That's sweet. I take it he isn't dating Alice either?" she asked.
"No, they are just friends. They are already teaming up against me." I said with a laugh and she chuckled.
"So Emmett is single then?" she asked while blushing. I never expected her to be so insecure about stuff like this.
"Yeah, Emmett is single but I do know he has eyes for a certain girl he saw yesterday," I said while looking at her face to judge her reaction.
"Oh,", she said disappointed and looking like someone just shot her puppy. Oh, she so has the hots for Emmett.
"Yeah, he couldn't stop staring at this blonde bombshell in defense yesterday," I said with a wink.
"Me?" she asked with a goofy smile while pointing at herself. I nodded at her and her face beamed with a smile.
"You seem very happy. So I take it there is nothing between you and Jasper then?" I asked trying to fish for info on Jasper.
"Eww no! Never going to happen. Jasper is to me like Emmett is to you. Plus Jasper is all messed up, about women at the moment." she said with a disgusted face.
"Haha yeah, the thought, of being anything other than friends with Emmett, is just wrong. What's Jasper's story? What women problems does he have? I asked curiously and hoping that she will answer the questions.
"Jasper has a girlfriend named Maria. She is an absolute fucking bitch. She treats him like crap and I'm pretty sure she is cheating on him. I honestly don't know why he puts up with her! I mean he is clearly so unhappy and he is so in love with the mystery seashell girl." she rambled on. Crap that's bad news about the girlfriend. Mystery seashell girl? I wonder if that is Alice.
"That sounds bad. Who is the mystery seashell girl and would he not just go after her instead of staying with that bitch?" I asked wondering how anyone would stay with such a person.
"He is an idiot for staying with her. I don't know who the seashell girl is. He told me the story of how he met her when he was twelve. It's a really sweet story. He saved her from jellyfish and still remembers her and is absolutely crazy about her." she said. He saved Alice from the jellyfish! He remembers her! I almost did a little happy dance but then I remembered I'm meant to meet up with Alice. I only had ten minutes to get to her dorm room. I had to leave now but I didn't want to end my conversation with Rosalie.
"Hey, Rosalie I have to head back to meet up with Alice," I said slightly disappointed. I liked talking to her, it was easy.
"Ok. Do you mind if I walk back with you? I need to get a few things from my dorm room before I head to the library." she said as we started walking back.
"Yeah, that's fine. I didn't know you stayed in the dorms. I figured you would be staying up in the royal quarters of the university." I asked intrigued.
"No, me and Edward both decided to take dorm rooms. We wanted the normal, well normal for here, college experience," she said. That makes sense, it gives them a breakaway from their parents. I wonder what dorm room Edward is in and if he has a roommate. I wouldn't mind being his roommate...his very naked roommate...
"Bella what dorm block is Alice in?" Rosalie asked breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Umm Block C room 220," I said blushing about my inappropriate thoughts about her brother.
"Oh, that's cool. I'm in block C too. I'm up on the fifth floor though. Such a pain to get up the stairs. I hate using the elevator so I'm stuck climbing the stairs every day." she said annoyed.
"Ouch! Five flights of stairs at lease twice a day would kill me." I laughed.
"Oh, trust me it sucks but it's a good work out so less time in the gym for me," she said while smiling. We kept chatting about random stuff. I could tell that she and Emmett would be perfect for each other. We made plans to meet up for coffee tomorrow and agreed that we would invite Alice too. We said our goodbyes when we reached Alice's room and poor Rosalie continued her trek up to the fifth floor.
I knocked on the door and Alice ripped open the door and nearly tackled me to the floor with the force of her hug. I had to grab onto the door frame to stop us from tumbling to the floor. I didn't know if this was a happy or sad hug until she untangled herself from me. She had a big smile on her face and was jumping up and down.
"Hey to you too Alice. What have you so excited?" I asked while walking into her room.
"I got permission from the university to go off campus for both of us! We can go shopping for sexy dresses for the party on Monday!" she squealed. I hate shopping but her enthusiasm was infectious and I desperately needed a dress for the party. I wonder if we would have some time to fit in a bit of sightseeing since I'm new to California.
"That's great Alice. I need a dress for the party and a few other things. When are we going?" I asked while moving to sit on her bed.
"We are going on Saturday, that way we have the entire day and we can go for lunch at my favorite restaurant." she said excitedly.
"Perfect. Can't wait. So how was your day?" I asked.
"It was good. Sooooo glad I'm back in my room. I'm so tired. I nearly fell asleep in one of my lectures." she said through a yawn.
"Alice if you're that tired, then we can call it a night and catch up later if you want," I told her.
"Oh no, we need to talk plus I had a coffee so I'll be alright." she said looking at me expectantly.
"So what is it you wanted to talk about?" I asked innocently.
"You know damn well what I want to talk about Isabella Swan," she said in her serious voice. I knew I couldn't avoid it anymore, I'm going to have to tell her about what happened between me and Edward in Billy's yesterday but I sure as hell wasn't going to tell her about last night. So I told her what happened and she was squealing with excitement.
"Oh my god! So what do you think you two will start dating?" she asked bouncing in her desk chair.
"Umm Alice I don't know. I'll see how it goes, plus he is way out of my league so it could just end badly." I said trying not to think about what could go wrong between Edward and I.
"I think you guys will work out. I can just feel it!" she said.
"Ha, ha you can feel it Alice?" I mocked her.
"You can make fun of me all you want, but I'm warning you I'm never wrong about these things," she said seriously. I wonder if there was more to these 'feelings' she gets.
"What do mean Alice?" I asked.
"Sometimes I get a strong feeling about things or dream about things and it's always right or happens. I don't know how it works but I'm never wrong," she said seriously.
"Wow, that's cool Alice. So what happened to you last night? Why didn't you get a lot of sleep?" I asked.
"I had one of my dreams and it freaked me out so badly that I started having a panic attack. Angela, my roommate, sat up with me all night trying to calm me down," she said in a sad tone.
"What was the dream about Alice? What happened?" I asked worried about what could have her so freaked out.
"I saw a girl kinda like floating in the hallway of the university. She was so pale and she was lifeless. I could feel something dark and evil suck the life out of her. It was so horrible Bella." she started crying.
I moved offer to her and hugged her until she started calming down.
"Something bad is coming Bella. I can feel it," she said while sniffing and rubbing the tears out of her eyes.
"Whatever happens Alice we will fight it, ok. Everything will be ok." I tried to reassure her.
"No, you don't understand Bella. It's is going to get bad, very bad. There will be a lot of deaths, blood and tears." she said trying hard not to stop sobbing. I felt a shiver run through my body and for some reason I knew she was right. Whatever is coming was going to bring destruction. This made me think of Edward. Oh god.. he will be in the front line fighting off whatever dark evil is coming. He goes into the Unknown a lot. Oh no, what if something happens to him. I need to figure out all the power I have and start training. If my mark is so powerful as it claims to be then I could use it to fight. I could help defend against what ever is heading our way. After a few more minutes of talking we decided to call it a night. Poor Alice was exhausted. That dream was clearly weighing heavily on her mind.
I made my way back to my dorm room. I was happy to find it skank free. After my talk with Alice, I just don't think I'd be able to handle her. It was already well past nine so I hopped into the shower and got ready for bed. I grabbed the book I was currently reading and crawled into bed. I spent around about an hour reading as I got lost in the story. I must have fallen asleep while reading my book because I woke up drooling all over it. That must have been an attractive sight. I got up and got ready for the day. It was quite a warm day today so I decide on a pair of shorts and a black tank top with cute little polka dot ballet flats. I grabbed my bag and phone before heading out. Tanya was still asleep and I closed the door with a bang just to give the bitch a fright. That's just a little revenge.
I checked my phone and saw one unread message from a number I didn't know.
Hello love, how was your day?
I had no idea who it was, but the butterflies in my stomach told me it was Edward. I received the message at 1:02 this morning. That's a bit late to be texting me, wonder what he was up to yesterday.
Good morning. Just got your message. Who is this?
My phone beeped a few seconds later and I couldn't help but smile.
Sorry, I forgot you didn't have my number. It's Edward. What are you doing up so early love?
Every time he called me love it did strange things to my insides. I texted him back as I walked into Billy's. I need my coffee!
It's 7:30 so it's not that early and I need coffee. What were you up to yesterday? I didn't get to see you again :(
I ordered my coffee and a yummy looking scone.
Get me a coffee too please and meet me outside in five minutes, then we can talk and maybe I can make up for, not seeing you again yesterday ;)
I quickly put in his coffee order. So happy I listened to him put is order in yesterday, I would hate to give him the wrong coffee. I hated when people got my order wrong so I'd never do it to someone else. I quickly sent him a reply.
Ok. See you in five :)
I grabbed our coffees and headed outside to find him waiting for me with that sexy smirk in place. Damn it hits me harder every time just how sexy this man is.
"Hello love," he said while taking his coffee and giving me a sweet peck on the lips. I wish he gave me a few more kisses. The smirk on his face told me he knew I wanted more. Smug bastard.
"Good morning. So do you wanna go for a walk?" I asked walking toward the fountain Alice and I sat at the other day.
"Lead the way," he said as he followed me. We were drinking our coffee and walking toward the fountain when he took my hand and gave it a kiss. He didn't let go of my hand and we walked holding hands with goofy smiles. After a few minutes, we made it to the fountain and sat down next to each other.
Edward put down his coffee and grabbed mine and put it down as well. He grabbed the back of my neck and crashed his lips onto mine. It was amazing. I felt like he was setting me on fire with his kiss. He pulled back and I instantly missed his lips.
"I have wanted to do that since yesterday," he whispered in my ear and giving me another passionate kiss. This time he pulled back completely and all I wanted to do was straddle his lap and kiss him senseless.
"As much as I want to keep kissing you, we need to talk." he said.
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked still trying to control my breathing.
"I have to tell you about what happened yesterday. " he said is a serious tone.
"What happened?" I asked worriedly.
"I went back into the Unknown and we found a body." he said sadly.
