74A/N: Thanks for all the reviews, follows, and favorites for the previous chapter. Sorry for the long wait, real-life and this chapter did not want to come together like I felt it should. Eventually, I had to decide to make it into two separate chapters, so I hope you enjoy. The second part of this chapter will be up in a few days.
I was wondering if any of you are wanting to hear Edward's POV. If so, review and let me know your reasons for wanting to hear his POV and what you think is going through his head.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters, Stephanie Meyer does! I just love the characters and writing about them.
"Wake up Bella!" Alice yelled while jumping up and down on my bed. "We need to get dressed and head downstairs for breakfast."
"Leave me alone," I mumbled into my pillow, still half asleep.
"Here's your outfit I picked out for you," Alice said tossing some clothes at me.
I sat up slowly and grabbed the clothes and bra she had tossed at me. Keeping the black jean shorts, I tossed the top back at her.
"Find another top because I'm not wearing that one," I said.
"Why not?" She asked. "The top is cute and blue looks good on you."
"I'm never wearing blue again!" I exclaimed.
"That's ridiculous Bella," Alice huffed. "We just picked out several cute outfits for you and several of them are in different shades of blue. What brought on this sudden dislike of the color blue?"
I grabbed my phone, pulled up the text from Edward, and tossed the phone at Rose and Alice who were now sitting on the edge of the bed. Rose caught the phone and read the message, then promptly fell off the bed laughing. Actually, it was more like howling and snorting. Alice grabbed the phone from her and laughed even harder, after reading the text.
"I'm glad the two of you find this so funny," I pouted.
"Oh Bella!" Rose gasped out, still trying to catch her breath. "Edward is just trying to get to you. Yes, blue is his favorite color and he knew telling you that after you had worn that color, would get under your skin. Now it's time to turn it back on him."
"Huh?" I questioned.
"It's simple," Alice sighed. "We just use all his smart remarks against him. For example, even though he texted you that to aggravate you, you can actually use it against him. Since blue is his favorite color, you will be wearing it a little more often. Not enough to draw attention to yourself, but wearing it a specific times will be beneficial to our goal."
"Exactly!" Rose exclaimed. "You can't wear blue today or to the club, that way he will think he got to you; however, tomorrow will be the perfect opportunity for you to wear that sexy little bikini you just bought, which happens to be…"
"BLUE!" Alice screams.
I just shook my head. None of this made any sense to me, but I figure they know what they are talking about. At least I hope they do.
"Here, take the lime green top." Alice said tossing another top at me. "It will still look good on you and along with our plans for the club, it will still get to Edward."
I put on the top along with my shorts and shoes, brushing my teeth and fixing my hair, before following Alice and Rose downstairs for breakfast.
After breakfast, we hung out in our room until Emmett called Rose and told us to meet the guys and him downstairs. Once everyone was accounted for, we headed off to visit the Space Needle and spend some time exploring the waterfront. After lunch, we explored some more, before heading back to the pool to relax before it was time to get ready for dinner and the club.
Before I knew it, it was time to head up to the room to get ready for tonight. Alice insisted we needed at least three hours to get ready. I didn't see what the big deal was, I could be ready in an hour. Alice, however, insisted tonight was going to be "epic". Apparently, she had one of her "feelings" and tonight was going to be life-changing for us. Rose headed to the shower, while Alice pulled out our outfits, and I ordered room service. Alice had declined the guys' invitation to dinner, stating that we needed the extra time to get ready for the club.
By the time we had finished our showers, room service had arrived allowing us to eat before we started fixing our hair and makeup. Sitting around in our robes, we finished off our burgers while we talked about what the plan was for tonight. Rose said that the main objective of the night was to make sure that Jasper saw Alice as more than a "little" sister and the best way to do that was to ignore him and flirt with several hot and sexy guys. Alice insisted that I also needed to do some flirting of my own, just to aggravate Edward.
"How does my flirting with a sexy, hot guy aggravate Edward?" I ask. "He has no interest in who I talk to, besides wanting to pick on or prank me."
"That's where I think you're wrong," Rose smirks. "I believe Edward is a little more interested than he would like anyone to believe."
"Rose, have you been dipping into the rum tonight?" I ask, laughing at her insinuation that Edward would be interest in me.
"Ha! Ha! Bella, no I haven't, but that reminds me, if we are going to drink anything, we need to drink it before we leave. I doubt Demetri will let us drink while we are at the club." She then proceeded to pour us each a small "drink", which we polished off quickly.
"Very true," Alice replied after downing her drink. "My uncle is very cool, but I doubt he would let us get by with that; however, he wouldn't be above helping us screw with the guys' minds a little."
"How?" I ask.
"Watch and learn, Bella," Rose and Alice replied in unison as Alice grabbed her phone, firing off a quick text. "Watch and learn!"
After throwing her phone back on the bed, Alice rushes us to finish our hair and makeup before getting dressed for the club. Rose dressed in a short, black leather miniskirt with leather thigh high boots and a wine-colored halter-top, while Alice wore a strapless, emerald-green mini-dress with three-inch black stilettos. Between the two of them, they decided that I would wear a printed form-fitting dress that I bought in Port Angeles. I topped it with a lightweight black leather jacket and black heels that Alice insisted I wear. After last-minute touch-ups to our hair and makeup, we made our way downstairs to where the guys were waiting by the car Carlisle and Esmé hired to drive us around tonight.
Rose headed down first, saying that she already had her man, so she didn't need a dramatic entrance. I headed down next, mainly because I didn't want all the attention on me. Once I exited the elevator, I joined Rose, who had maneuvered to guys, meaning Jasper, so they would have a perfect view of Alice when she reached the lobby.
"Looking good Bells," Emmett commented while grinning, when I joined him and Rose.
"Thanks Em," I replied blushing as I glanced over at Edward to find him staring at his shoes. Well I guess Rose was wrong about his interest in me, he wouldn't even look my way. Deciding that I could ignore him too, I looked over to Jasper, who was standing there with his mouth hanging open. Turning to see what put the look of utter disbelief and shock on his face, I saw Alice approaching us.
"Brother, I would suggest closing your mouth before you catch any flies," Rose laughed.
Beside her, Emmett and Edward were snickering as jasper proceeded to open and close his mouth with no words escaping, before finally closing it and turning to walk outside. Edward glanced over to me, before following close behind him.
"Tonight is going to be so much fun!" Emmett stated gleefully, rubbing his hands together excitedly and ushering towards the door. "Ladies first."
