The Cullens Get a Shake Up

by Brilliant Innocence

Hmm, all the Cullens. Mardi Gras. Costumes. Hotel rooms. Bubble gum. Kissing. Hot tubs. Hip Hop. I suggest you read the story if you're confused about the above. My story's about everything mentioned. Starts out slow, then gets much better, bear with me.

1. What Time Is It?

"Wake up, my love." I immediately knew who it was. Edward's cold hands were tapping my right arm, then, when he noticed I wouldn't get up, started gently tugging me out of bed. My eyes refused to break the silence and open.

"Stubborn." I think I heard him murmur that, but Edward decided to pick me up out of bed and cradle me in his arms. My head against his stone like-yet cozy chest. "Awake yet?" he whispered, half seducingly into my ear.

I opened one eye and nearly gasped. My angel's looks never failed to amuse me. 'Heck, even his presence in the room never failed to make me gawk.' Then my cheeks turned a bright crimson, and I was again relieved I was the only person who's thoughts he couldn't hear.

"Phew" I guess slipped out.

"What?" he grinned sheepishly. I was still in his arms.

"Nothing, really," then his stunning affect wore off, just enough for me to scan my room, "But why is it so dark?" I was watching outside my window.

Suddenly, he briskly let my feet touch the ground. "Take a look at your alarm clock." he cooed in my ear. My eyes flickered that direction, but I let my eyes adjust after waking before I read the time.

"3:35 a.m!" I almost screeched, but just spoke understanding Charlie was still asleep. "Sorry." I let out for almost yelling.

"Bella, don't you remember last night?" he chimed.

I really hadn't. We hadn't done anything. Nothing seriously to my liking at least. I didn't really like nights where Edward hadn't kissed me for long, or anything in that direction. But, his last words sprung into my mind. 'Now, sleep darling, it's late and we're supposed to wake up early tomorrow.' And, again, the most he did was peck my forehead, but I slept.

"I didn't think you meant THIS early!" I said. He chuckled, seeing how tired and slightly angry I appeared.

"I'm sorry, really," he shot that perfect, crooked smile which made my heart go into spasms, "Alice called a half hour ago asking when we were coming. Vampires never sleep, remember."

I shook my head, now awake. "There's Alice for you." I said in my best 'ugh' tone and laughed.

"It's all of them, actually, Bella," now he laughed in a low, to me, thrilling tone.", even Carisle and Esme, planning something for today."
