She's Single too!
BPOV
I woke up to the disturbing sound of the vacuum going off somewhere in the distance, probably the living room. I looked at my clock and saw that it was only seven AM. I moaned and tried to put a pillow over my face to block some of the noise out. Ugh. The noise never stopped: It just kept getting louder and louder. I finally gave up on trying sleep and rolled out of bed, went to my door and opened it. Alice was listening to her iPod while pushing the coffee table out of the way to vacuum underneath it.
"Alice," I mumbled while trying to wipe the sleep from my eyes "It's seven AM. Can't you do that later?" I yawned the last part. She didn't seem to hear me through the music of her iPod and the vacuum. "Alice?" I yelled it a little bit louder.
Suddenly Rosalie's door opened swiftly "ALICE!" Rosalie screamed and she marched over to Alice while ripping the ear phones out of her ears. The sound of the screaming hurt my ears more then the vacuum did.
"Hey," Alice said appalled "I like that song!" She was jumping, trying to get her ear phones back, but Rosalie had them in her hand, high up in the air.
"Not at seven AM!" Rosalie clicked the vacuum off glaring at Alice. It was funny to see Rosalie and Alice glare at each other. Rose was always beautiful, even in the morning with her blonde hair pushed just the right way to look sexy, while Alice looked like she could dance circles around Rosalie if she wanted to with her petite, short frame. I wish I could describe myself as sexy or petite, but I was neither; not in the morning at least.
"C'mon you guys…"I mumbled with sleep still thick in my voice "Can't we just all get along?" Rose huffed, putting a stray blonde lock behind an ear and gave the headphones back to Alice with a shove.
"Gosh, I was just trying to clean up, Miss Grumpy Pants," Alice glared, while raveling the vacuums chord "I also made breakfast…It's in the microwave if you're hungry. It's your guys' favorite too!" Alice said with a smile while putting the vacuum back in the closet. "Chocolate chip pancakes!"
"Oooh." Rose said trailing off to the kitchen, no longer mad. I tagged along too, no longer disturbed from the noise of the vacuum. The kitchen was as spotless as the living room was with the floors gleaming and the smell of Lysol in the air. Rose glanced around and noticed it too. I just shrugged. "Looks like someone was up early…" Rose said while opening the microwave to a delicious looking stack of chocolate chip pancakes.
"Uh-huh," I agreed mesmerized by the delicious food in front of me "What time did you wake up, Alice?" I yelled loud enough for her to hear. I grabbed three plates from the cupboard and put them on our small kitchen table with three forks and butter knifes.
"Oh," Alice came trailing in from the living room "just around five thirty." She grabbed the syrup from the refrigerator and sat down at the table. Rosalie put the pancakes in the middle of the table, sitting in her usual spot next to the window.
"Damn, Alice, why so early?" I was amazed, usually I was the one who woke up before anyone else and Alice was always the one to wake up last, even though she took longer then Rosalie and I to get ready to go anywhere.
"Well, I told you guys last night at dinner, I wanted the house to look nice for our guests." Alice rolled her eyes as if the answer was evident. I grabbed a pancake and doused half of it in syrup.
"I already told you, it's just my brother and his best friends," Rose paused to swallow the piece of pancake she was eating "It's not like it's anyone special."
"It is someone special, Rose," Alice said while cutting a piece of pancake "It's your brother." Alice popped a piece of pancake in her mouth. "Are you excited about our visitors, Bella?"
I nodded my head smiling, to busy chewing my pancake. When I swallowed I gave a verbal answer. "Yeah, I'm excited. I guess." It didn't really matter to me if they were staying or not. "But to be honest, I'm more excited about this pancake then anything right now!"
Rosalie and Alice giggled at my response. I joined in as well. It was nice when all of us weren't fighting and we were able to sit at the table and enjoy a meal. I got up and poured us some orange juice that was conveniently made in the fridge.
With the last pancake eaten I stretched my feet out and rubbed my tummy. I was so full. "Wow, Alice, those were so good. I don't think I could eat anything else all day I would be okay."
"Thanks." Alice said with a proud smile. "Why don't you and Rose go take showers so then were not late getting to the air port."
"Oh, hey, I wanted to talk to you guys about that…" Rose said sounding a little guilty. Alice and I stopped walking and we both turned to face her. I'm not usually an easily irritated person, but if Rose has one more surprise, I'm going to start charging this woman.
"It's not that big of a deal," she assured us. "I just was going to ask if one of you would be willing to drive to the airport then drive back because the guys don't have a car yet and we don't have a car that will fit all six of us. . ."
"Yeah, I'll do it. It's not that big of deal Rose…" I began walking to my room again.
"Thanks, I'll give you twenty bucks for gas if you want me to?" Rose said in a relived tone.
"Rose, don't worry about it." The thought of being paid to do a favor made me laugh a little out loud.
A shower and an hour later I was in my bath room wearing nothing but my undergarments trying to fix my eyelashes from the coat of mascara I just put on. "Ugh!" I sighed in frustration and gave up and just decided that it looked nice enough. I put some eyeliner on and considered myself presentable.
I found my favorite pair of jeans, and began digging for my favorite green t-shirt. I searched around in my closet; it wasn't hanging up like I thought I put it. I moved to my dresser and it wasn't in the third drawer with all my other shirts would be. Maybe it was still dirty? I moved to my dirty laundry just to be sure…I thought I'd washed it.
"Looking for this?" Alice's voice came from my door frame. Hanging from her hands was my favorite green t-shirt.
"Alice," I jumped at the sound of her voice. She had a smug smile on her lips. "Yeah, thanks." I went to go grab it from her but she pulled it back closer to her chest.
"No, I think you should wear the black shirt I picked out for you yesterday or at least the other green one you picked out..." She stated firmly.
"Awe, C'mon Alice!" I whined. "Were going to be late, just give me my shirt. I told you I'll wear the shirt on my next date. I promised you that." I really didn't want to fight with her and I knew that if we got lost on the way to the airport we would be late picking up Jasper. I tried grabbing it again, but she just moved back away from me.
"Not a chance. You're not wearing this today!" She whined back. "It's old, wrinkled, and look, it has a hole in the bottom of it!" She grimaced at my shirt holding it between her index finger and thumb as if it were infected or something. I rolled my eyes.
"Ugh! Fine! You win." I threw my hands up to exaggerate my annoyance. I went to my closet and grabbed the other green shirt that I picked out yesterday and threw it over my head. "Are happy now?" I glared at Alice.
"Very, very happy." Alice replied smugly. She grabbed a hanger from my closet and hung my green shirt back up neatly. "One of these days I am so going to get you to throw that old thing out!"
"Never!" I replied while putting on my socks and my shoes. "That's my favorite shirt. I'll never throw it out…" I tied my converse and stood up. "How did you know I was going to wear it anyways?" I was truly curious…
"Eh, I'm physic!" Alice said giggling. I giggled too. "Nah, really though? You always wear it when you're stressed out about something…What's wrong?" I let my eyes fall to the beige carpet.
"It's nothing really. I guess you could just say that I'm a little stressed out about three strangers coming to live with us. You know me to well Alice." I sighed.
"Eh, don't worry about it; they will only be here for two weeks! Maybe if were lucky they will be as hot as Rose!" Alice said enthusiastically. I couldn't help but giggle. Usually I was the positive person, and here Alice was the one cheering me up.
"C'mon girls," Rose came though my door with a rushed voice "I don't want to be late…their flight might be a little early and I don't want them wondering around the airport like losers, that's just embarrassing!"
We were wandering around the baggage claim when Rose got a call on her cell phone.
"Hello?...Where are you guys?...Oh." Rose turned around so she could have a little privacy even though Alice and I could still hear her. "Just now? Oh, alright. Well, were waiting by the baggage claim. Just meet us down here in five….alright…okay, okay….jeeze, okay. Bye." Rose shut her phone and turned back towards us. "Sorry, that was Jasper, their flight just got in."
"So much for getting here early…." Alice mumbled loud enough for me to hear. I smiled at her.
"They will meet us down here in about five more minutes." Rose explained. "So, it being Saturday and all, do you guys want to show them around Seattle a little bit tonight? They've never been here, so they are just as clueless as I was when I first met you guys my freshman year." Rose began walking towards the escalators where the guys were supposed to come down on.
"That sounds like fun. I'd be happy to help show them around." I replied. Alice was looking out one of the many windows starring at the huge planes
"Oooh, yeah!" Alice chimed in a second late. "We should go to the mall, or maybe to the movies or something." Her faced glowed with visible excitement.
"Oh, no Alice!" I recognized that smile way too often. "We are not going shopping! Maybe we could just ask the guys what they want to do when we talk to them?" I suggested to Rosalie.
"That sounds fair enough…" Rose was looked out the big windows of the air port now.
"Rose?" All three pairs of our eyes traveled to where the mans voice was coming from, the escalator.
"Jasper!" Rose yelled with enthusiasm. He grabbed her in a big hug. It was almost awkward seeing Jasper and Rosalie next to one another. They were both just as beautiful as one another with the same shade of light blonde hair. However, Jaspers eyes where a darker shade of blue then Rosalie's. Those high school pictures sure didn't do him justice: the same way with Rose in pictures. My eyes didn't linger on Jasper long though because they traveled to the guy behind him.
He was bigger then any man I've ever seen in my life. He stood over my two foot four inches probably well over a foot and his muscles were huge! His arms seemed to be the size of just my torso. However, when I looked up at his face it was twisted into one of the cutest smiles I've ever seen in my life with a little dimple in his left cheek and his curly brown hair was piled on his head perfectly. His steel grey eyes were full of joy at the site of Rose and Jasper hugging.
"Rose," Jasper said breaking their embrace "this is Emmett." He gestured towards the big guy. "And Edward should be down in a minute, he had to use the bathroom."
Rose smiled at him and placed her hand out so he could shake it "Hi…" She said in a lascivious tone. Alice and I looked at one another and tried to stifle our giggle. "This is Alice," Her eyes never left Emmett, but she gestured with her hand to Alice "And this is Isabella, I mean, Bella." She pointed to me. Emmett and Jasper booth shook our hands.
"It's nice to meet you guys." I said.
"Yeah, nice to meet you…" Alice looked at the ground and I could have sworn she was blushing but I wasn't sure because my eyes looked back up to the escalator at another mans voice calling Jasper. Suddenly everything else went white all around the edges and it became like a cheesy teen movie. All I could see was this guy and his emerald green eyes starring right at me and his perfect face twist into one of the cutest smiles I've ever seen in my life. His hair color was an odd bronzed color that I'm sure I've never seen before and it was in perfect disarray. I couldn't help myself but give an idiotic smile back. I was suddenly thankful for Alice not letting me wear my old green t-shirt and that I actually spent the extra fifteen minutes to put some makeup on while getting ready the s'morning. My cheesy teen movie moment was interrupted by Alice poking me in the side. I looked at her and she was trying to stifle a giggle.
"Shut up." I mumbled in her ear. This made the smile she was trying to hide more noticeable.
"Oh, Rose, this is Edward." Jasper gestured towards the guy with the green eyes. I smiled, pleased that he would be one of the three staying with us for two weeks. Alice was right; there was nothing to worry about if one of them was hot- even though they all were unbelievably good looking.
"Hi, I'm Rosalie," Rose shook his hand gently then gestured towards Alice "This is Alice," He shook Alice's hand gently. My stomach began to do little flips knowing that I would touch his hand next. "And this is Bella…" I gently shook his hand and looked up into his green eyes. He was smiling that cute smile again and I felt my face twist into that idiotic smile. "She's single too!" Rose Chimed in. I immediately felt my face go red and pulled my hand away. I looked down at the floor hoping to hide my chagrin.
"Rose!" Alice accused "That wasn't nice…." Then there was one of those really awkward silences that everyone hates.
"Why don't we just go get our luggage?" Emmett said. I think he was trying to lighten the mood, but it didn't really work. We walked black over to the baggage claim in silence. The guys each had three bags, including their carryons,
"So," Rose started as we were walking back to the parking garage. "Alice, Jasper, Emmett, why don't you guys ride with me, then Edward you can ride with Bella back to our place?" She was looking straight ahead, so she didn't see my glare.
"Sure!'" said Emmett.
"Sounds fine to me." Said Jasper.
When everything was packed in the trunk of Rosalie's Passat and my Rabbit, we went our separate ways, into our own cars.
