Chapter 8

Esme meets Bella aka: dreadful dinner

Two days later (from chapter 7)

BPOV

I was a nervous wreck, Edward and Alice had invited me to dinner I accepted because Edward said that it will mean a lot to him, and Alice gave me a pout and puppy dog eyes. So yeah here I am trying to find the perfect outfit to wear, not like I wanted to impress her…I just wanted to look nice.

I will admit that I feel intimidated because Alice told me that Esme, her mother was a little strict, and could be crude and rough. So yeah, that's why I'm so freaked out!

Alice texted me their address and I dialed it on my GPS and started the car, all the way to their house I tried to calm myself…

EPOV

"Mom, can I as you a very special favor?"

"What is it sweetie?" mom said, "Can you be nice to Bella? Please mom, she's my friend…oh and another thing; she doesn't know about my disability, so please don't say anything. I don't know if she has noticed since she hasn't mentioned anything to me or Alice; I'm planning on telling her but not today." I said mom sighed.

"Okay son, I'll see what I can do" she replied. "Mom please" I whined,

"Edward!" she scolded me "I said I'll see what I can do, and that's my final word" she said her tone firm and sharp, I sighed and dropped the subject.

"So mom, what are we having for dinner?" Alice asked, she had entered the kitchen and stood behind me. "Capresse salad, fettuccine Alfredo with scallops and vegetables, garlic bread, and blueberry cheesecake" she replied.

"It smells great" I said.

In that exact same moment the intercom buzzed, and Laurent the gate guard told us that Miss Swan was at the gate, "let her in" Alice told him.

"It's time, its time, and its time" she said as soon as the doorbell rang. "Hello Bella, come on in and welcome to our house" Alice told her.

Esme's POV

She was here, no one has ever been here after the accident, my children don't need no one's pity…I need to know why she is here, what does she want with us.

Edward said that she's his friend, and that she didn't knew he was blind, so maybe she wasn't a gold digger…the way Edward told me to treat her made me think that maybe he's interested in her in a romantic way…

NO! Edward can't have a relationship, he's too fragile for that and besides, he's my baby boy and no one can take care of him like him I do.

No one will ever tend to his needs like me.

Alice's POV

I led Bella in and closed the door, "wow Alice your house is big…I mean you've saw hog big my house is, but not as big as this" Bella said, "yeah this is a mansion Bella" I told her.

Yeah my house is big, but empty at the same time. Everything stills the same it was 8 years ago, but without dad here mom's not the same and that's why the house is not the same either.

I took her to the living room and told her to sit on the couch, while I went to look for Edward. On my way to the kitchen I hoped that mom didn't screw this up, Bella is a nice friend and I want to keep her.

E POV

Alice told me that Bella was on the living room, I walked behind her since of course it was my house and I had all the room memorized. Alice had her hand on my lower back, just because she knew I was nervous, as soon as I entered her scent hit me and I almost fell backwards.

I gave a deep breath to steady myself, why is this girl having this effect on me? Why her presence and her scent affect me so much?

"Hello Bella" I greeted, "hi Edward, thanks for inviting me. Your house is lovely" she said. "Glad you like it" I told her, "let's sit down while dinner is finished' Alice suggested. We sat and joked for a bit, Bella was going to tell a joke when mom cleared her throat and interrupted us.

"Hello" she just said, Alice stood up Bella did the same, "hi Mrs. Masen, nice to meet you I'm Isabella Swan, but I prefer Bella. Your house is lovely and Alice and Edward are great friends." Bella said.

"Nice to meet you, dinner is ready to be served" mom said.

A POV

Mom gave Bella a glare and turned to leave, I motioned Bella so she could follow us. Why did mom agreed to this dinner if she was going to be like this? I know mom very well and she has something up her sleeve, I hope that she doesn't do anything to hurt Bella; Edward's interested in her and I'm not going to let mom ruin this for him, my brother deserves love too.

Mom took her seat at the head of the table where dad used to sit, Edward sat at mom's old seat and I sat at my usual place while Bella occupied Edward's old seat.

Mom served the salad, Edward decided to start the conversation, mom paid attention to him I pitched in to help Bella as the main course was being served. That's when mom started the interrogatory…

"So Bella, tell me more about yourself…" she started.

"well I lived here in Florida since I was seven, my mom and dad had divorced a year prior we traveled for a year and then we came to live here…" she told mom all that, then she asked Bella about her major, Bella answered every question, but I could feel the tension.

Then mom served dessert and asked Bella about her parent's job, I could see that she was very uncomfortable, Edward was noticing it because his head was slightly down, his posture stiff, his face expressionless. Bella looked at me and Edward with confusion, I told her to go on.

"well Phil is an ex baseball player, now he is a coach on a private school, mom works on a exportation company, she's the head of the marketing dept, and dad is a police chief on Washington state" Bella replied. Mom nodded and dropped her fork, I knew that she wasn't done and the worse of Esme Masen came now.

B POV

This felt like an interrogatory, I could see that Alice and Edward were tense, and Edward barely looked at me after his mom started her questions, Esme looked directly at me.

"So, what are your intentions with my children?" she asked me,

"Okay Mrs. Masen, I'm a classmate of Edward and a friend of Alice. All my intentions are good; I mean no harm or double standards here. I don't know why you're attacking me like this" Bella said raising her voice a little.

"First of all, this is my house and no one raises their voice here besides me!" mom said,

"Mom, please" Edward said.

"No Edward!" she said, "I won't stop until she tell us what she wants with us! She is a threat to us!" mom screamed.

I had to do something; this was getting out of control.

"Mom, stop this nonsense, I don't know why you're doing this but it has to stop. Bella is just our friend; she cares about us more than you do!" Alice said.

Everyone was silent.

Esme couldn't hold her tongue any longer, she made her final thoughts about me known, "leave, you're a gold digger and I don't want you near my family!" she told me sharply.

Edward turned his head to me, his face was rigid and his cheeks were tearing, and when his spoke his voice almost cracked, "I'm so sorry Bella; I didn't bring you here for this…" Edward told me.

"Edward don't worry is not your fault that your mom is a cynical and cold hearted woman" I said dropping my napkin and leaving.

No one has ever humiliated me like this.

E POV

Mom had ruined it, she had insulted Bella and thrown her out, I couldn't believe it! I stood up as soon as the front door was closed, "thanks a lot mom! You just humiliated my only friend! Are you happy now?" I said mom huffed.

"Yeah mom, you were awesome" Alice said her voice laced with venom.

"Edward Anthony and Mary Alice, you need to understand that I'm the caretaker of this family, and that everything that I do, is for our wellbeing" she argued.

She then spoke directly to me,

"You seem interested in Bella, are you Edward?" mom asked.

Before I could answer, Alice interrupted "and what if he is mother? He has the right to be interested in whoever he wants!"

"Oh and by the way, Jasper is my boyfriend" she added and left.

"I'll be in the den if you want me brother" she said then left, the tension in the room could be cut with a knife.

"Answer my question Edward" mom insisted.

"It doesn't matter anymore! She left and probably won't speak to me again thanks to you; but yeah, I was interested in her! But now is ruined because you didn't even gave me the chance to get to know her better, thanks a lot mom!"

"When are you going to stop ruining my life?"

So Edward, said some harsh words...would he finally rebel against his mother's antics...?

Next chapter will be drama free.

BTW: I'm going to need a day at least to type it...so yeah it might be posted on Sunday, I'll do my best to have it sooner...

Leave me some love, and to all those watching the movie today have fun! ;-)
