"Do you think Jasper's seeing anyone?" Alice asked, clearly hoping to sound nonchalant. But Bella knew better. They caught each other's gaze in the floor length mirror Alice was standing in front of, trying out different outfits for tonight's party. Bella could see the pleading in her eyes. "Humour me. please." She said with a weak smile.
Bella looked back down at the magazine laying on the bed in front of her. She had little interest in anything to do with clothes, nor who which celebrities were spotted cheating with this time."I don't know, Ali." She said flipping the page over almost routinely. "He's been at an all boy's boarding school for the past two years. Any relationships he's had there would bring scandal."
Alice frowned. "Bella." Her voice came out harsh. She dropped the dress on the growing pile of fabric by her feet and sat down at her dresser. Alice's room had always been a world away from Bella's, Ali's was glitter and lace, Bella's was ratty purple duvets and mundane sky blue wallpaper.
"What?" Bella looked up at her. "Alice, you either have to get over him, or get under him."
Alice tsked. "I wasn't the only one with their tongue hanging out." Bella stared at her in confusion, "Edward."
Bella sighed and rolled over onto her back, her eyes closed. "Ali, nothing is gonna happen with Edward and me. He never liked me to begin with." She rolled again this time positioning herself so she was staring straight at her best friend. "Whereas you, and Jasper, you two have practically been waiting for the right time to finally get together."
"Well maybe two years is all it takes to make him see, that there's nothing special about me." Alice whispered.
Bella lurched up, grabbing Ali by her shoulders and dragging her to stand. "Alice, you're a hyper pixie sex goddess. Now get in that wardrobe." She forcible turned her, shoved her forward and kicked her swiftly in the hiney. "And pick out something ass smackingly hot." Alice turned and stuck out her tongue, but did as she was told.
Bella sighed, almost collapsing back into place on the bed. "Do you know why Rose has been so cold to Edward lately? I mean she's always been I little resentful since they were young but, now Edwards back she's been a total utter..."
"Bitch?" Alice called. She appeared from the side of her walk in wardrobe wearing a black baggy shirt, denim short shorts, thigh high socks and knee high boots. "Abominable cow, stone hard skank. Yeah, she's different." Ali laughed.
"Has something happened? I've never seen her like this." Bella sat up in impatience, Alice shrugged. She leaned over and grabbed her overnight bag.
"Grab my pillow will you, I'm just gonna get some stuff from my bathroom." Alice pointed before disappearing back into her wardrobe to her bathroom. Bella nodded even though Ali had already turned her back. She gripped the pillow in her fist and stepped off the bed.
"Just so you know, my dad's only okay with me staying round Rose's because he thinks the boys are out tonight." Bella called out walking to the door to pick up her own bag, she quietened her voice as Alice reappeared and took the pillow from her. "So if anyone asks, we were up all night doing our nails and watching the notebook."
"Instead of drinking and getting up to no good." Alice's eyebrows wiggled.
"Exactly." Bella smiled.
20 minutes later
They arrived on time, everyone else was already there waiting for them. Bella pulled her truck into the Cullen's drive, even though the house was practically a second home, it was still huge. "Come on. Rose is probably bored out of her mind surrounded by the guys." Alice said pulling her and Bella's bags from the back seat. It was mid- September and fucking cold. Forks sucked.
"Not if Em's there, I feel more sorry for her brothers." Bella grinned. Both headed up to the door and waited, shivering like it was going out of fashion, for Rose to answer. The door opened wide spilling out warm air.
"Hey, what's up?" Rose asked leaning against the door frame. Leave it to Rose to look like a supermodel in ripped blue jeans, baggy tee and red knitted uggs.
"Oh nothing, just standing outside freezing our fucking tits off. Lets us inside." Bella grumbled.
"Not with that attitude I won't." Rose rebuffed twisting around to hike a slender leg up to barricade their entry. "Now I guess your just have to sweet talk me into letting you in."
"Rose we're not friggin vampires, let us in." Alice growled, her socks were nothing against the biting nip in the air.
"I don't hear your sweet talking, come on my bitches." Rose smiled wickedly bringing her hand up to examine her perfectly manicured nails. "Grovel."
Bella and Alice looked at each other incredulously. In unison they chucked their shit cleanly over Rose's leg and swept forward Bella grabbing the her torso and arms, Ali taking her legs.
"Hey, hey. If all you wanted was to get a handful of Rose, you could have just asked." Rose screeched. Neither girl responded, instead they carried her into the living room and threw her onto the couch. Rose straightened indignantly, with a huff she looked over at the boys who were crowding in from the kitchen. Alice raced back to kick the door shut, Bella was sure all she wanted was another second to compose herself.
"Oh what's this? We leave the room for a second to get pizza and beer, we come back and you're assaulting my sister." Jasper tsked. The boys set down three large pizza box's on the table and encircled them with beer bottles. Jasper himself held two in his hands, Bella knew the second was for Alice, but she also knew Alice didn't like the confrontation that would come when she took it.
"Not our fault." Bella said simply. She dropped down on the couch facing the TV, kicking of her ankle boots and grabbing both bottles from Jazz's hands, and offering one of them to Ali herself when she came round to sit. Jasper looked a little off put, but a look from Bella silenced him. "So, pizza and beer. Just like old times." She smiled against the mouth of her bottle before taking a quick mouthful.
"Don't worry Bells, we've got a lot stronger stuff up our sleeve. But that's reserved for later. Once the dancing and games start." Emmett laughed. As always he sat next to Rose, who almost automatically re-positioned to put her legs over his. They always had to be touching, even slightly. The two remaining boys took refuge on the only vacant couch to the left of Bella and Alice's.
"How long are your parents out?" Alice asked.
Edward smiled crookedly, leaning forward to grab a beer and pizza box. "All weekend."
Bella felt something stir inside her stomach when he spoke; she in turn leaned forward to grab a pizza box. Alice waited impatiently for her to open it, her hands readied. With an amused smile she did, and Alice grabbed the first slice of cheese pizza. Rose turned the TV on and switched to some music channel. The conversation turned playful, Jazz gave many an animated school antidote. Most involved booze, breaking shit and one or two mentions of the sexy headmistress.
"Please, Miss Camble is 45." Rose said shaking her head. "She's old enough to be your mother."
"Age is merely a number when it comes to our headmistress." Jasper smiled. By this point Edward was shaking his head in as much disapproval as Rose. Bella had felt Ali stiffen halfway through the story, the way they were sitting her back was resting against the inside of Bella's right leg. The second her backbone went ridged Bella had frozen too.
"Ok, I'm bored. Let's bring out the proper booze. I need my buzz." Rose announced, she untangled herself from Emmett and disappeared into the kitchen.
"I'll help you." Emmett grinned, following like a puppy.
Edward and Bella went towards the table to clean everything away in the same moment, their hands touched for a brief second before both automatically pulled back. The brunette had to hold back a shiver. Their eyes caught, but both looked down in an instant. The room became silent, all but the gentle murmur of the TV.
Suddenly the speakers came alive, uttering a single spluttering hiss. Then the jumping beat of Icona pop's 'I love it' filled the room. Rose and Em reappeared cradling bottles of Vodka and tequila, everyone crowded round the table. "One shot each to start." Rose ordered pouring them out and handing them off one by one. She picked up her own and held it out. "Let's get this party started." Everyone laughed and clanked their shots together before downing them. The alcohol burned Bella's throat, but she had always liked the way it tingled. In a blur of shots the room went from an uncontrollable mass of dancing bodies, bouncing and grinding to the beat, to all of them lying around nursing bottles of Smirnoff. Alice had somehow ended up under the coffee table, face down. Bella was sitting upside down on the right side sofa, legs in the air, her skirt ridding low around her thighs exposing the skyline of London motif on her tights.
"I call about a game of spin the bottle." Jasper declared from behind the opposite couch. He slowly climbed up the back and over, rolling down into the pillows.
"Dude, you can't play spin the bottle with your sister and cousin." Emmett said from behind Bella's couch making her jump out her skin, her resulting screech toppling her forward, or more like backward in the direction of the coffee table.
"Oh, no you don't." Em stood in time to catch her ankles and pull her back. Her legs opened slightly and he looked down with a smile. "Neon green panties, nice."
Lucky for Bella she had enough strength to pull herself up and hit him upside the head, twisting herself to the side to close her legs with a huff.
Jasper laughed. "Fine, if we get each other, we do a dare instead. Happy?"
"I'm game." Rose answered appearing to slither up Em's side. Alice gave an unintelligible noise from the floor while she crawled out with little dignity. It took a couple of minutes but they all settled down around the table, Rose of course presented the long empty vodka bottle and was the first to spin. "How far does the kiss go?" Ali asked.
"Tongue. Thirty seconds." Rose decided with a nod of the head. It landed on Emmett.
"Oh come on, that's no fun." Edward said watching disgustedly as Rose happily attached herself to Emmett lips. She got the point and withdrew.
"Well that's one of the results of playing with a couple." Rose amended. Emmett reached over and spun next, Alice. Rose let go of his arm around her shoulders. With a comforting smile he leaned around the table over Bella, and grabbed Alice by the back of the head. Everyone erupted into rounds of wooping and wolf whistling which came with every kiss in this game.
Both parted with a smile. Alice reached over and spun, Jasper. Damn. Ali had never backed down in spin the bottle, not even at last years end of school blowout when she had to lock lips with Mike Newton. Instead of letting the silence settle she sat down, practically in his lap and drew him to her. He didn't fight her on it, but when time ticked he didn't stop her either. With his left arm holding her to him he used his right hand to spin the bottle, only looking up when it slowed to a stop. Pointing at his sister. Edward laughed, "Well, now Jazz, deal her a dare." Jasper and Alice parted.
"Rose, I dare you too..." he paused for a second, drawing on the silence that had fallen upon the room. "Make out with Bella for 1 minute, right now. Go." Bella stared in disbelief, but Rose seemed to not care, she willingly placed herself between Bella's legs and lowered her mouth to hers.
"Come on, Bella. Nothing we haven't done before." She smiled before proceeding to mould her lips to Bella's. She was right of course, years of this insistent game and numerous rounds of truth or dare had minimized the amount of friends Bella hadn't kissed. Rose's tongue begged for access and the kissee gladly let her in. The cat calls got louder, causing both to smile, as they broke off to breath Rose planted one last peck before turning back to the group in triumph.
"Okay Bella, Your turn, and it may have to be the last. Its three in the morning and someone has to clean up this mess." Jasper exclaimed. Bella reached over and spun, begging silently that it be anyone but...Edward. The bottle had answered her wishes with a spiteful sting. Rose who still sat against her moved out the way, Bella could have sworn seeing her frown.
Edward seemed to eye her carefully as she sat down next to him; she leaned over and placed her hands a little too tentatively on his shoulders. Her lips were less than an inch from his when the phone rang, ringing out loud and clear. Edwards's breath came out harsh against her cheek, in a sigh. Of relief? She thought. "I'll get it." Rose jumped up and grabbed the phone in one move. "Hello." She answered. "Esme?" she disappeared into the hall.
"Well, with that. I'll go get the extra duvets and pillows from upstairs." Jasper said getting up, he grabbed Alice's hand and went for the stairs. Alice's eyes widened in surprise, she turned to look at Bella for help but all she got was smile of reassurance.
"I'll start clearing all this away." Bella said, remembering her hands were still on Edwards's shoulders. She stood a bit delirious, then picked up the three empty pizza boxes and as many beers as she could carry.
Out in the kitchen she shoved the cardboard squares as hard as possible into the recycling. The Cullen's kitchen was, like the rest of their house, huge. There was an island in the middle, and a pantry of to the left, which led back into the hallway. A ragged breath escaped her mouth; she gripped the kitchen counter hard desperately trying to get a grip. He doesn't like you! She repeated. The way he was looking at her when she went to kiss him, the sigh he made when they were interrupted. The sound of someone clearing their throat startled her out of her reverie. Bella turned on her heel, backing up an inch till her ass hit the kitchen counter.
"Edward?" she breathed. He stood in the doorway, his expression told her he was still indecisive on whether to enter. "What did you want?" she asked then mentally slapped herself for it. This is his kitchen dumbfuck. Her mind mentally scolded.
He didn't make a move to answer, but instead lunged forward. His left hand found her cheek, his right wound around her waist. In mere moments she was pressed undeniable close to him. She could feel every part of them touching, the hard rigid planes of his abs held strong against her stomach. Everywhere they were touching was set a lit with electricity, igniting Bella's nerves like live wires. Each singing with energy. Too soon did he pull away, breaking that connection. "What was that for?" Bella asked breathless.
"I wasn't going to go without my kiss now was I, it's unlucky." Edward answered, also out of breath but his voice oozed confidence. His forehead lent against hers.
"I'm pretty sure there's no 'unlucky' clause if you don't get a kiss in spin the bottle." Bella defended, confidence seemed too radiant through her, and she teasingly brushed his lips with hers.
"No, but it would have been unlucky if I never got to kiss you." He disputed capturing her lips once again. This kiss was searing. Though Bella was sure she knew better, she kissed him back. Knotting her fingers through the silken bronze curls that feel over his eyes. He grabbed her arse and she grabbed at his neck at the same time, lifting her off her feet and onto the kitchen counter. The air grew hot, Bella's blood began to boil and her desire for Edward became almost ferocious. They clawed at each other, Edwards hand migrated over her chest, kneading her right breast through her shirt and bra. A moan escaped her lips; however it was muffled by his mouth. Not to be out down her hands fell to the hem of his shirt, rising up beneath it to feel the expanse of muscle toning his chest. Edward groaned, his hands dropped once again to the hem of her skirt, riding it up around her hips and grabbing at her thighs. She raked her fingers over the skin of his back, scratching down in a single movement. He groaned again fisting his hands into the thin material of her tights with tearing strength. Bella looked down to see her favourite tights ladder into cobwebs and Edwards hands dive underneath to caress her pale skin. Oh screw it. She thought. I have another pair.
"Bella!" Emmett's voice called from the living room. That made them jump, the way they were positioned, the movement made Bella's pelvis grind against his. Which really didn't help much. "Bella, Alice needs your help; Jasper gave her some sweets and she's going mental."
Bella groaned this time out of annoyance. She looked over at the doorway. "I'm coming." She called, wishing it was true in another sense. She stretched up to kiss Edward swiftly before hoping down from the counter. As she went she smoothed down her skirt, praying that the ladders would hold up long enough for her to change into some pajama shorts.
Edward watched her go, breathlessly. Once she was gone he let out a laugh. It had been too long since he had wanted to do that, since he had wanted to kiss her, hug her, make her moan. The sound of someone clearing their throat made him freeze. He turned to see Rose enter from the darkness of the pantry. "Well, well, aren't we a bit hot under the collar tonight, Eddie boy." Rose laughed, somewhat bitterly.
"Rose." Edward acknowledged, smoothing down his shirt and running his hands through his hair.
"You don't want to go down this road Edward, with Bella." She nodded pointedly with her head.
"And why's that Rose?" Edward asked defensively. "I know she's your best friend and everything, but she's a big girl. She can make her own decisions."
"Well you got part of it right, I am her best friend, and as her best friend it's my duty to keep dickheads like you from hurting her." Rose circled the island and began backing him up against the fridge.
"Rose, we're family, how can you talk about me like that? You know I would never hurt her." Edward growled.
"That's what all men say." Rose hissed.
"Rose, you're being uncharacteristically protective, what are you in love with her or something? Is that it?" Edward lowered his voice when she flinched. "That's it, you are." Rose went to say something then stopped, "Your in love with her, you love Bella."
Rose's expression turned outraged, her normal delicate features mutated into a monstrous snarl. "If you tell anyone, if you even think about telling anyone." She leaned in close to whisper harshly. "I swear, I will fucking kill you." She seemed to back off a second later, still not dropping the look of pure hatred in her eyes.
"Oh come on, overreaction much." Edward laughed, but he couldn't hold off the slight shake to his voice. "She'll never be with you; I think it's plainly obvious that she's not into what you have to offer." He grinned; flexing his back, he felt the after sting of her claw marks.
"Shut the fuck up!" Rose seethed. "I wear heels bigger than your dick, Edward." She got back up in his face. Edward cocked an eyebrow, his smile returning. "Either be serious about her, or leave her the fuck alone."
"You know, you use the word 'fuck' way too much." Edward said smugly.
With a scornful look, Rose left the room.
