I Hear You
Chapter 2
BPOV
I sat in the car reluctant to get out. Edward stood next to the door holding it open with his hand extended towards me. I don't want to go in. I just want to go watch a movie at my home.
"Bella, we are just going to talk to Carlisle to see why he thinks I can hear your thoughts. Then, I will take you to Charlie's to watch Leo and Claire. Please. This is important. I have never been able to hear you before." Edward took my hand and pulled me from the car.
Up entering the house we found Emmett and Jasper playing a video game. Emmett looked up and said, "Bella, come on over and watch me school Jasper in Mario Cart Race"
Mario Cart Race? Emmett is really channeling his 13 year old self huh? Edward tilted his head towards me and grinned.
"I am sure Bella would like to do nothing better than be your personal cheer leader, but we are here to see Carlisle." Edward said.
"He isn't here Edward. He went to the hospital to finish some paperwork, and he didn't say when to expect him. With the girls off shopping for the weekend, he thought it was a good time to catch up." Jasper said never taking his eyes off the TV.
Well, he is so going to win. No way Emmett is going to take him down. Jasper looks like he is in the zone. I looked up at Edward and he was smirking at me. Oh yea, Emmett's going down!
"Oh Bella, when you are done, call Rosalie and see if you can borrow her cheer leader outfit. As long as you're going to be my personal cheerleader, you might as well dress the part." Emmett was waggling his eyebrows in a very suggestive way.
I went to say something in retaliation but Edward put his hand over my mouth. "Don't encourage him Bella. Anything you say right now is just going to make it worse. Sorry I even brought that up love."
Jasper was snickering next to Emmett, so I turned my back on them and headed for the stairs. Stupid juvenile vampires. All I want to do is watch a movie and take a Tylenol for my headache.
"Bella, why does your head hurt?" Edward sounded concerned.
Oops. Way to go Bella. Stop thinking! "I tripped coming into the house this morning and hit my head on the door jam."
"Why didn't you say anything to me when I got back from hunting?" Edward asked with a frown forming on his face.
Because you tend to over react to my clumsiness. "It wasn't anything I haven't done before, and nothing I won't do again. It didn't seem important."
"What do you mean I over react to your clumsiness? I most certainly do not. That is absurd. I just like to make sure you are injury free." Edward said shortly.
"Edward I didn't say that out loud. We really need to talk to Carlisle." No way was I going to be able to filter my thoughts. It is hard enough to filter what I say.
By this time we were in front of Edward's room. I walked in and sat down on his couch. Edward picked up his phone and called Carlisle. I wasn't listening to him speak into the phone because I was wondering why Edward was able to hear my thoughts.
I hope that I don't think anything that will offend him. No wait, did he hear that? Oh I am going to have to talk to Alice and see how she blocks him.
"Bella, you are not going to speak to Alice about this until we see Carlisle." Edward said to me while putting his hand over the phone.
Ok, note to self…no thinking of anything I don't want Edward to hear. Lalalalalalala.
"Isabella…" Edward warned while pinching the bridge of his nose. He had finished his conversation with Carlisle and hung up the phone. "Carlisle will be home in an hour or so. He said to not take any pain medication for your head, but to use an ice pack where you hit it. Can I feel your head?"
"I don't even have a lump. I didn't hit it that hard. I just have a dull headache." I pointed out where I hit my head.
Edward tenderly touched my head and agreed there was no lump. His fingers feel wonderful. Oh who needs ice when I have these fabulous vampire fingers touching my head. Don't stop. Please don't stop. Ohhh Edward, that feels devine.
Edward chuckled "Bella, I am better for you than icepack, aren't I. I guess being a vampire comes in handy once in a while. Don't worry love, I won't stop touching you."
I was sure I was blushing more than I had ever blushed before. I probably looked like a giant tomato. Embarrassment oozed from me. I really need to watch my thoughts. Thank god I was only thinking about how good his fingers felt on my head.
"Edward whatever you are doing up there is embarrassing Bella to her toes! Stop it! Stop it right now! I can't take it." Jasper hollered from the floor below.
"Oh Eddie what are you doing? Do I need to come and rescue my cheer leader?" Emmett called.
Emmett is such an instigator. "Shut up Emmett!" How does Rosalie stand him?
"She puts him in his place and calls him out for his malarkey." Edward once again answered my thoughts. "Rest for a while love. I'll come and get you when Carlisle gets here. I will just go down and make sure Emmett behaves."
Edward kissed my forehead before leaving the room and shutting the door behind him.
Well this is interesting. How did Edward manage to hear my thoughts? I hope Carlisle hurries up and gets home. I wish Alice was here. I really need to talk to her. I don't want Edward to hear my thoughts.
I forced myself to clear my head of all thoughts because I wasn't sure how far away Edward needed to be before he couldn't hear me any longer. I really didn't want him coming back up here to remind me I wasn't supposed to think about talking to Alice. The last thing I remember was Edward playing my lullaby before I drifted off to sleep.
