So this is sort of a 'mini moment' thing I wrote a couple weeks ago. I thought you guys might like to catch something that you might have missed cause I skipped right over them .. It's just a fun little one shot kind of that doesn't have any meaning to the story, it's just for fun (=
But either way, story or one shot.. I don't own any Twilight characters )=
Mini Moments .. One
New Years Eve .. Bella
"Bella, love, are you ready?" I heard Edward calling from the bottom of the stairs and turned to Alice.
"Alice, can you please hurry up. He's getting impatient." I felt her tug on my hair and little.
"Bella, trust me, it will all be worth it. He's never mad at you anyways. Whenever you walk down them stairs and he sees you, he forgets he was mad in the first place." She finished the curl in my hair and let it fall behind me. She only had a couple more to do and I was already dressed, so he would have to be patient for a couple more minutes.
"I don't know why you're doing this anyways. We're only going to see fireworks. Why do I have to get all dressed up?" I felt another tug on my hair and groaned a little. "Ow, Alice!"
"Sorry. You're not all dressed up. If I wanted to dress you up, I would. Skinny jeans and a cute blouse is not dressy. And I'm not going to put you in heels because I'm pretty sure you won't be able to walk on a dock with them on." She finally finished with my hair and I let out a sigh of relief.
"No heels, wow Alice, you are feeling generous." But when I turned around and saw a pair of wedges in her hand, I slumped back in the chair. "Are you kidding Alice, you said no heels!"
She walked over to me and put them on my feet. I struggled a little, but she got them on anyways. Where in the world did she get that kinda strength?!
"They are not heels Bella, they are wedges. They are more sturdy than heels, so you'll be OK. Plus they match the outfit, and Edward will be there to catch you every chance he gets." She smiled and stood back up. "Now stand up Bella, I want to see."
I complied and stood up. I wobbled a little at first, but quickly got used to the wedges. She was right, at least they were more sturdy, and a lot easier to walk in. I walked across the room with no problem, but when I heard the door swing open it startled me a little and I lost concentration and fell on my butt. I heard someone run across the room and help me up. When I was standing I looked up into Edwards eyes.
"I'm sorry Bella. Are you OK?" He put his hands on my hips to steady me and I nodded.
"Yes, I'm fine." I smiled at him. "We can go now." I took his hand and started walking to the door. Slowly at first to make sure I regained my composure completely. We got to the stairs and I took the first step, and after seeing it wouldn't be hard I started walking down. I was getting the hang of this, and it was actually kind of fun.
"So is everyone ready to go?" Emmett and Rosalie jumped up off the loveseat and nodded, then headed to the garage. Jasper went behind me and Edward to Alice and we followed Emmett out.
"Me and Bella will ride in our car, are Carlisle and Esme meeting us, or are they coming with us?" Edward took my hand and opened the passenger door for me.
I looked up at Edward and cocked my head to the side a little.
"What?" He gave me a look of confusion.
"Our car?" I was slightly confused at the comment he made. I didn't know if he meant to say it like that, but he did.
He chuckled and leaned down to kiss my cheek, "Until you get your own car. I let you drive it, don't I?" He leaned back up and smiled. I giggled back and nodded.
"We're coming with you." I looked over to see Esme and Carlisle coming out into the garage. Esme looked absolutely beautiful, as usual, and Carlisle was dressed a lot like the other three guys. Alice.
"Me and Esme will take my car, someone can ride with us if they'd like. Save gas." Carlisle unlocked his Mercedes and opened the door for Esme. Alice and Jasper offered to ride with them, and that meant we were stuck with Emmett.
Emmett and Rosalie climbed in the backseat and we backed out of the garage.
We weren't even halfway down the driveway before Emmett was trying to force his broad shoulders through the front seats to reach the radio. It didn't take long for Edward to slap his hand away.
"What Eddie? Your music kinda sucks. Where did you get that kinda taste anyways." He reached for the radio again, but this time I slapped his hand.
"Hey, I like Edwards music. Most of the CD's in this car are mine too." I heard Rosalie laugh from the backseat as she tugged on Emmett.
"Emmett, leave them alone. If we would have taken your car, you wouldn't want Edward messing with your radio." Emmett sat all the way back and like the two teenagers they are, they started making out. I looked over at Edward and smirked a little. He laughed and adjusted the mirror so he couldn't see them.
He then reached over and took my hand. "At least it shuts him up. And you know it I wasn't driving, that would be me and you." He lifted my hand and pulled it closer to him, setting it on his knee. I leaned over a little and rested my elbow on the center console to better accommodate him.
It was a long drive to Port Angeles, but we did it every year. There was no good place to watch fireworks in Forks, so we all went to the dock in downtown Port Angeles. Last year Alice even made us all get a hotel room so she could go shopping the next day, bright and early.
We got there sooner than normal and parked in the huge parking lot. When I turned to look in the backseat Rosalies shirt was hanging off her shoulder and Emmetts lips looked like there were permanently suctioned to her neck. I looked over at Edward and he just laughed. I watched him put his hand on the side of his seat and knew what was coming next. Too bad Emmett didn't. Before Rose could ask why I was laughing Edward threw his seat back and rammed it right into Emmetts knees. He immediately pulled himself from Rose and looked at Edward.
"Do you mind dude?!" Emmett tried to go back to kissing Rosalie but Edward did it again.
"Do you mind not getting all sweaty and horny in my backseat." Edward turned back around and put his seat in place just as Emmett went to get out of the car. Edward jumped out and ran around the front to my side, pulling me out and shutting the door. When we were out I saw Emmett running around the back of the car, so Edward scooped me up and started jogging over to Carlisles car. Esme climbed out of the passenger side and Edward took us to stand behind her.
"Emmett what are you doing?!" Esme stuck her finger out at Emmett and I threw my head back in laughter.
"But he started it mom!" Emmett backed away a little and threw his hands up in defense.
"I don't care who started it, now pull it together and stop clowning around. You're an adult." He hung his head and stalked back towards Rosalie. When Esme turned around I instantly stopped laughing and Edward put me down. I pulled Edward infront of me and Carlisle chuckled from the drivers side.
"Way to go Bella. At least she's a smart girl Edward." I looked over at Carlisle and smiled just as I got hit in the butt with a car door. I spun around to see Alice giggling and climbing out of the car.
"Sorry Bella. But you were kinda in my way." She got out of the car and gave me a small hug.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah Alice. Now let's go before Emmett decides to get revenge on Edward." I grabbed Edwards hand and pulled him out of the mini staring contest with his mom and we walked to the dock.
When the fireworks started, Edward stood behind me and put his chin on my shoulder and his arms around my waist. I put my hands over his and nestled my head against his cheek. I took a deep breath and took in his scent. He was so amazing. He was everything I ever imagined and so much more. Everytime he held me I felt more loved than I ever have.
We stood there for almost a half hour against the pier watching fireworks. Everything was perfect.
I felt Edward creep his mouth toward my ear and start whispering. "I love you Bella."
I turned slightly, "I love you too."
"Are you having a good time?" One of his hands ran up my arm and pulled my jacket tighter.
"Of course. Are you?" I finally turned sideways and pulled him sideways too, that way we could both see the fireworks, but be almost closer together.
"Definitely, how could I not be having a good time with you right here with me?" He kissed my forehead, then slowly moved down to my jawline.
"Mmm, don't do that Edward." I leaned my head back a little, but tried to push my hands against his chest. But I couldn't bring myself to push him away.
"Why not Bella?" He started lightly sucking on the base of my neck and I felt my eyes roll into the back of my head.
"Edward, your parents are right next to us. Don't do that." I was trying to stifle back a giggle, but couldn't help it. He started to move upwards to my lips and I pulled back. "Edward, no. You're supposed to save the kissing for midnight." This time I did push him away and he just looked at me with a little shock in his eyes.
"What?" He made a move for my lips again, but I turned my head. "But I wanna kiss Bella. Can't I have just one kiss. One littttttle kiss." I looked into his pleading eyes and giggled.
"No Edward. We'll be heading home soon. You'll get your kiss then." With that I turned back around and started watching the last of the fireworks again.
He was antsy and fidgety the remaining time we were there. I knew that if he hadn't even asked for one, he wouldn't be like that. He let himself get all worked up, so it was his fault.
When it was finally time to go home Edward led me to the car and opened the door for me. But as I started to get in, he stopped me.
"You know the way home right?" He propped himself against the door and looked at me.
I was a little questioned by his behavior, but nodded. "Yeah, of course." He shut the door and grabbed my hand.
"Thought so." He walked me around to the drivers side and when I realized what he was doing I grabbed him and turned him around. I crashed my lips to his and he quickly responded. When I pulled away I realized what he just did to me. I slapped his shoulder and took a small step back.
"You tricked me Edward!" I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at him.
He started laughing and walked towards me. "I know love. I knew you'd give in." He winked and walked me over to the drivers side.
"That was not fair Mr. Cullen." I frowned at him, but couldn't hold back a smile for very long. He kissed my cheek before heading around to the passenger seat. When he got in, he grabbed my hand and told me he was sorry. I, of course, forgave him and we sat there waiting for Emmett and Rosalie.
The back door finally opened, and Rosalie crawled in first. When Emmett got in he shut the door and leaned up, apparently in an attempt to start bugging Edward.
"So Eddie, think I could control the.." The sight of me in the drivers seat made him shriek a little.
"Very manly Emmett." Edward turned around in the seat and looked back at Emmett.
"Wait, woah. You're going to let her drive?! Do you remember what happened last time she drove? Oh no! I'm outta here, I'll sit in between Alice and J." He reached over to open the door and I started laughing.
"Emmett that was a long time ago. I'm better now. I promise." I quickly hit the lock button and Rosalie grabbed his hands, putting them on her leg to keep him occupied.
Hey, whatever works, right?
I started the car and followed Carlisle all the way home. Emmett didn't say much, except for the occasional, "Watch out for the bunny's." It was rather funny watching him squirm in the backseat. And at one point, Edward reached for my hand and when I took it, Emmett started yelling "Ten and two Isabella! Ten and two!" Edward started laughing and let go of my hand.
When we got home, Emmett was out of the car before it was even all the way in park. Everyone in the other car got a good kick out of seeing Emmett run from the car. When I walked into the house I looked at my phone and saw it was 11:52. We made it just in time.
Esme rushed to the TV and turned it on, finding the channel with the big sparkling ball in New York. I sat on the couch next to Edward and held his hand as we watched what was left of the program.
When 11:59 came around, Emmett had already started making out with Rosalie. I looked over at Edward and saw him roll his eyes, and I laughed, causing Emmett to pull away and look at the clock. He huffed a little and sat back.
"You still gonna kiss me at midnight?" Edward put his finger under my chin and lifted my face to his.
"Of course. Why wouldn't I?" I smiled at him and cuddled further into his arms.
"Thought you might still be mad at me for tricking you." He laid his cheek on the top of my head and looked at the timer on the TV. Thirty seconds to go.
"I could be, but I won't be mean." I smiled up at him and we just stared at each other for the remaining twenty something seconds. It wasn't weird, it wasn't awkward. It was perfect. That was the thing with me and Edward. Words didn't necessarily need to be said, I just needed to know he was there, within sight, to be content. When the timer reached ten, he started whispering the countdown in my ear, causing me to shiver a little.
Five
Four
Three
Two
One
As soon as they said one, I pulled Edwards face to me and kissed him with everything I had. He responded quickly and started kissing me back. With my lips against his, everything disappeared. There was no noise, no movement, no sight. Just him. It's a little cliche to say that you see fireworks, and I don't know if that was the case, but this feeling happened everytime I kissed Edward. I felt like at any moment I'd wake up and I'd have to start all over again. That he'd come to his senses and see he could have so much better than me. He deserved the world, and I only hoped I could provide that for him.
When he pulled away we both gasped for air.
"Happy new year love." He smiled and kissed my lips softly and quickly.
"Happy new year to you too Edward. I love you." I wrapped my arms around him and we fell backwards a little till we hit the arm of the couch.
"I love you too. More than you'll ever know." He started stoking my hair, and I seemed to have forgot there were six other people in the room. All I saw was Edward. All I smelled was Edward. And all I heard was Edward.
I was in a perfect world.
So I thought that was pretty fun to write. It's a little easier than writing a chapter for a story, because it doesn't really have to lead anywhere, it just kinda happens (= But I liked this one..
And for those of you questioning this; One.. I don't know how they do it in Washington, or where ever any of you are from, but on New years eve where I'm at, they always have fireworks down by the beach, and I thought it would be kinda cute and fun to throw that in. And two, "Ten and two" is the position you are suposed to have your hands while driving.. I, myself, don't drive like that (I find it rather hard to turn a corner with my hands in those spots lol) But I had to take my test like that.. and it just sounds like something Emmett would yell (=
Anyways, I hope you liked it, and know there will be plenty more to come (=
