Bella's POV
"Come on kids, dinners ready!" my mum, Renee yelled out as we all ran inside. Sunday, My favourite day of the week. It's when the Cullen's come over for dinner. There's Carlisle and Esme and their kids Emmett, Alice and Rosalie, who are my best friends. Then there's my family. The Swan's. There are my parents Charlie and Renee, Jasper, Edward and then me. We have known the Cullen's since before I and Rose were born, and we also all go to the same school.
"Go wash your hands before you eat" Esme said as we entered the dining room. So we all turned around and went to wash our hands. We got back to the dining room to find the adults sitting at the table talking. I went and sat in my usual seat while Rosalie sat on my left and Alice sat on my right. The boys sat opposite us as we all started eating. Throughout dinner I spoke to Rose and Alice. Rose was talking about the dress Esme had just bought her when Alice squealed. Everyone stopped their conversations to look at Alice in curiosity. I turned to look at Alice to find her grinning from ear to ear.
"Bella, Rose I just had the best idea ever!" she yelled squealing again. I raised an eyebrow at her and she continued.
"After dinner we should play dress-ups!" and that's what we did. After dinner Alice went through all my costumes and picked one for each of us. Alice was a pixie, Rose was a princess and I was a fairy. Alice had put me in a pink dress! PINK! She knows I hate pink! We went downstairs to the games room where everyone else was. I stomped over to my blue bean bag and sat down with my arms crossed. Glaring at the wall beside me for at least 5 minutes when Emmett came up to me.
"What's wrong Bella? I thought you liked dress-ups?" he asked sitting down next to me.
"I do but I hate pink. Alice knows that too." I said turning to face him. Emmett had a huge grin on his face as he spoke again. He and Alice had the same grin, well they were twins.
"Everyone knows you hate pink, but I think you look really pretty." We both blushed and I turned away.
"Thanks Emmett" I said quietly turning back to see that he still had the huge grin on his face. I smiled at him and he held his hand out for me to take. I looked at him confusion written on my face. He then rolled his eyes.
"Come and play Monopoly with us. It's no fun with just 3 people."Emmett always knew how to cheer me up.
As all six of us kids sat around for half an hour when Jasper rolled the dice and got a 6, he had landed on free parking where there was a stack of money.
"Ha ha suckers! It's all mine!" he cackled then I hit him over the head with my fairy wand.
"Hey what was that for?" he yelped rubbing his head and glaring at me.
"Don't worry Jazzy, fairies are evil!" Alice said sweetly.
"Says the one dressed as a damn pixie!" Emmett shot back, defending me. Alice poked her tongue out at him and continued playing.
"Emmett watch your language!" Esme scolded him.
"Yes mum." Emmett muttered staring at the game board. We played until the Cullen's had to go home. As they were leaving the six of us had our usual group hug. Where Me, Alice and Rose were in the middle while the boys squashed us. Literally! It was our way of saying I love you guys and ill see ya later. We then did our individual hugs. When I got to Emmett he gave me one of his famous bear hugs as usual but when he let go of me he gave me a kiss on the cheek which made me blush a light crimson. Emmett gave me a huge grin in return. I went to go upstairs after the Cullen's left but Jasper and Edward were there blocking them. They were standing there with their arms crossed with sly grins on their faces.
"Move, I'm going to bed." I said trying to push Edward out of the way. He didn't budge. I soon sighed and gave up, when my brothers started chanting.
"Bella likes Emmett, Bella likes Emmett"
"Do not" I denied glaring at them.
"Do too" they both said.
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"DO NOT!"
"DO TOO!"
"NOT!"
"DO!" I was still glaring at my brothers when mum and dad came to see what was going on.
"What's going on in here? Shouldn't you kids be in bed?" dad said sternly looking at each of us.
"They're in the way!" "We're talking to Bella" We all spoke at once.
"One at a time!" dad said, and then turned to me.
"Bella what's going on?"
"WELL... I was going up to bed when Edward and Jasper blocked the stairs and started singing, 'Bella likes Emmett, Bella likes Emmett' and I got angry so I yelled at them so they yelled back." I said emphasising the 'well'. I turned to the boys to see they had smug looks on their faces. But they were going to get busted. I was daddy's little girl. Enough said!
"Bella go up to bed, boys we need to have a little chat." Mum took me up to bed and read me a bedtime story. When she left my room I made sure she had gone down stairs before I got out of bed. I tip toed into the hall way and leant against the wall. I could hear my dad talking to my brothers.
"You shouldn't be teasing your sister. It's not nice-" Then I heard mum butt in.
"I don't think Bella knows that she likes Emmett, but he sure has a little crush on her..." I giggled at what she said and I think they all heard. So I quickly ran back to my room and buried myself in my covers. Soon after I heard footsteps coming toward my room. I peeked out of my covers to see Jazz and Edward coming into my room.
"Bella" they both whispered nudging me slightly. I then jumped out of my covers screaming.
"BOO!"
"AHHH!" they yelled in sync. I fell back onto my pillows giggling at how scared they got.
"That wasn't funny, Bells." Jazz said sitting next to me, while Edward jumped over to sit on the other side of me. We were mucking around for a while until mum and dad came in and told us to go to bed. Edward and Jazz kissed my cheek and said 'Goodnight'.
"Night Eddie, night Jazzy." I said as they left to go to their bedrooms.
"Goodnight mummy and daddy." I said yawning.
"Goodnight sweetheart" mum said tucking me in again as her and dad kissed my forehead. I can't wait till school tomorrow so i can see the Cullen's again. Especially Emmett.
