Chapter 2 of my ( well i think) awesome story :D

A couple of hours later, Charlie arrived back from work. I had already boiled stew, the vegetables and meat were bubbling inside a gravy sauce, and the potatoes were cooking away. I had decided to fix some tinsel on the tree. Charlie hung up his gun, and sat at the table.

"So, Bells, I see you have been busy today. Where did you get the decorations? And how did you get up onto the roof?"
"Oh um.. Dad, I found the ladders in the garage and Edward helped me put them up." I hope my face hadn't told the truth for me. "And the decorations were from Portland. I drove up after school."
I served the stew, and we ate in silence.

The next day, Saturday , I woke up lying frozen. The ice on my windows had doubled overnight, and the laminate flooring didnt seem so helpful now as i stepped onto the frozen floor. I remembered Edwards deal with Alice, saying that i was his for the day. I was slightly excited, and confused at what we were going to do. Charlie was away fishing for the last time this season and had left early at 6. It was now 8 in the morning. I got up and stretched, for the cold had frozen up my back. I was tired, cold and miserable, and the only thing keeping me awake was Edwards surprise. He had said he was going to pick me up at 9. I went for a quick bath, relaxing my icy muscles and giving therapy to my detached limbs. My lovely blue skinny jeans and coral sweater ensemble was hanging in my cupboard and my white vest top and festive scarf was hanging over my bed. I threw it on and fixed my hair.

I almost tripped down the stairs as the doorbell rang. Edward was at the door, his silver volvo outside with what seemed like Emmett, Alice and Carlisle inside.

"I thought I was yours?" I asked in confusion.
"Oh, you are Bella, later on today. Carlisle, Emmett and Alice just are coming to help us with something," he answered with a grin on his face. "also, you look very, festive. I love it." I realised that i had my festive scarf on. I saw Alice inside the car stifle a giggle. I shoved my boots and my jacket on, locked the door and ran out. I jumped into the car with Edward.

"Nice scarf!" Emmett laughed. I pounted at him and Alice gave him a mock punch.
"I do have to say Bella, you fashion sense is pretty rubbish," Alice commented.
I yelled back, "Fine! I will take it off!!"
"Just ignore them, they are in a mood that I am taking them away to do stuff," Edward said, and then laughed. I guessed it was a thought from someones head.

We drove back to the Cullen household, the big white mansion in the forest. It was camoflaged in with all the snow. We got inside and the fresh smell of gingerbread floated throughout the house. Edward took my jacket and my hand and took me through to the kitchen, and there we found Esme, taking gingerbread out of the oven.

"Wow Esme, even for a non-eating vampire, you sure are better than anyone at cooking!" I gasped.

"Thank you Bella, this is for you to take home for Charlie and yourself."

"Yes, she sure is amazing, at everything." Carlisle had appeared out of no-where and kissed Esme on the nose. She returned his affections with a gentle hug around his waist.

"Anyway, shouldn't we get started?" Edward had interupted their private moment.

Emmett, Rosalie, Carlisle, Edward and I wandered out into the back garden. There, Jasper and Alice were aranging lights on the paved path. Alice lifted up a giant bundle of lights that looked too heavy for her small hands. She picked them up with one hand and darted at lightning speed to the front of the house. One minute later she came back with a plug in her hands. She ran into the house and a faint glow appeared at the front of the house. Alice came back outside and beamed.

"Look Edward, half of it is done already!"
"Can I help?" I asked, everyone seemed to be repeating what Alice had just done, except Carlisle was putting wreaths up on the doors.
"Yes. You can help with the tree, you already seem and expert at that," Edward laughed. I frowned at him.
"Oh love, don't be upset. I was just kidding." He came up and kissed my forehead. He then wrapped his arm around my waist an took me into the house.
"Seriously, I do need some assistance with tree decorating. I'm not an expert with this sort of thing."
"Okay, sure."
Edward had pushed the tree up with one hand while i sorted out the tree lights and tinsel.
" Bella, I have to go hunting tomorrow. Sorry for such short notice, it was arranged earlier."
My heart sank as I realised Edward would be gone all of tomorrow. I looked at his eyes, they were a medium brown. What would i do tomorrow? I could go visit Jacob...

Review pleasee :D:D:D
