WHAT IS THIS THING? … Thank goodness for spring break =D SO I WORKED HARD TO GET THIS CHAPTER DONE. I DECIDED THERE NEEDED TO BE SOME FRIEND TIME THEN SOMETHING IMPORTANT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT CHAPTER…
LAST TIME
"Yes, you invited me." I told her. "Oh." She laid down. "Hay I'm going to go sit on Edward okay." I explained. Alice giggled. "he loves you," Alice yet again told me. "Doubt that." I said with a yawn. I walked out of the room. I walked to the end of the hall into his room. He was sound asleep. I quietly got into his bed and laid my head onto his chest. His arms trapped me pulling me closer. I smiled. I felt like I belonged there like I was meant for him.
I fell asleep again.
I woke up and stretched my arms. I felt something. I looked over to see Edward staring at me. "Good morning Bella." He smiled. I could get used to waking up next to Edward in the mornings. NO stupid Bella, he has his girl. "You sleep talk." He said. I blushed, why he brought that up I have no clue. He already knew I sleep talk.
"What did I say?" I asked blushing; I didn't say anything embarrassing did I? Edward lifted his hand gently rubbing the back of it against my cheek, pushing back a lock of hair out of my face. An emotion I couldn't name crossed his beautiful emerald eyes.
"Nothing much. You said my name a couple times…" he trailed off "Bella, your face can rival a stop sign and fire trucks. Would you like to explain that?" I held my breath. What was I going to say to him? Yes Edward I was dreaming of you because I am irrevocably and unconditionally in love with you? "I was dreaming of you," I said. "Last night I mean, the chess game." I quickly lied. "Really?" he asked calling my lie.
Damn. "Edward you're my best friend, you and Alice have a tendency to pop up in my dreams. It's no big deal." Well that was true except for it being no big deal; it was to me at least. Maybe he wouldn't think too much of it. He sighed. "So Mr. Cullen what's for breakfast?" I asked him. "how about pancakes?" he suggested. I smiled, they sounded good. "Home made with chocolate chips?" I checked. "Why of course." He agreed. "so what did you dream of?" I asked seeing as how he knew what I had dreamed of, or at least who… "I dreamed of the girl of my dreams…"
I rolled my eyes. "Well obviously if she was in your dreams, then she's the girl of your dreams." I said. "Does that make me the boy of your dreams Bella?" Edward was wearing the biggest grin I've ever seen on him, aside from the one he wore when he proposed in that video.
I could be a smart ass and say something along the lines of yes Edward you are the boy of my dreams or but of course, I did agree to marry you after all my fiancée but that would let on that I like him more than I should.
I'm not willing to risk this friendship. It's just too damn important. I decided not to answer him. I walked out of the room and down the stairs. Esme was in the kitchen. I guess she had the same idea for breakfast because she was making chocolate chip pancakes. "Good morning Esme. Carlisle." I said greeting them both.
"Good morning Bella." Esme said. "Hello Bella," Carlisle said at the same time. "Would you like some pancakes and bacon? You can have some orange juice on the side." Esme offered. I smiled at her. "yes that would be wonderful, thank you Esme." She smiled and handed me the food and a cup of orange juice.
"So how did you sleep last night?" Carlisle asked as Edward walked in, his hair was dripping wet. He must have taken a shower. He was also wearing new clothing. It was amazing how he could put on a Forest green long sleeve button up (like a dress shirt sort of but not as fancy.) and some jeans and look like a god.
I wish I could do that. It would be wonderful, a lifesaver if I could look like a god for Edward. But of course I don't have that kind of luck. I just cant look good enough for him. "Bella honey, what's wrong?" Esme asked in a concerned motherly tone. There was no use lying to her, she'd get it out of me. "I'm not pretty." I said looking at my food. I was trying to hide.
They stared at me. "What? Honey who told you that?" Esme was very upset. "No one, I just know." Edward decided to speak up. "Bella, you are the most beautiful women I have ever met, don't ever think that you aren't beautiful." He sounded mad. I wish it were true. "Bella, it doesn't matter what people may say, you are beautiful, inside and out. Don't ever doubt that." Carlisle added in.
"Yah Bella, You think I would use only a little makeup to brighten up you eyes if you weren't drop dead gorgeous." Alice added in as she walked into the dining room. "Thank you." I said. Alice and Edward squished me into a hug.
Alice talked about her date with jasper during breakfast while everyone else listened. Edward sat next to me to, rubbing my back while I laid my head on his shoulder. I suppose to someone on the outside this would make it look like we were going out, but this was just a normal thing. We'd been like this since we were little. After breakfast Edward and I did the dishes. Carlisle left for work and Esme went to read a book. The doorbell rang.
Alice answered. "Hay." She said excitedly. That's something I love about Alice. She's bouncy; I swear she's got ADHD emphasis on the hyperactive. In came rose, jasper and Emmett. "hay guys." Edward and I said at the same time. "Jinx One…two…three…four…five…six…seven…eight…nine…ten I win, you owe me a vanilla coke!" I chanted. {Okay, so that's how my brother and I do jinx, because we found if we just said jinx then it went on forever till someone gave up, hours later so we count to ten and we end with a vanilla coke.}
Everyone laughed. Edward walked to the fridge and pulled out a can. He handed it to me. "Next time, Swan, your going to be owing me the coke, Got it." He threatened in a playful tone. I smiled at him. "Never." I said. I ran from him knowing he was going to chase.
And of course I was correct, he did chase me. I tripped; I closed my eyes waiting for contact with the ground. I was due for an appointment with it considering I hadn't in a while. It never happened. Edward caught me. "Thanks." I said. "your welcome." He helped me. He tapped my shoulder. I turned to look at him. "Yes?" I asked. "Tag your it." He yelled running off. "Oh no you don't!" I yelled back. I took off after Alice.
Alice being short was only as fast as me; luckily I didn't trip this time. And caught her. "Tag! Your it! NO TAG BACKS!" I screamed. It was universally known that the love seat was base but you could only stay there for ten seconds.
Alice took off after jasper who didn't see it coming. I ran for base. The game was a lot of fun. By the end of it we were all having a hard time breathing. We were all laughing. Esme came out. "Don't break anything." She said as she walked into the kitchen. She got out seven cups and pored us each a glass of kool-aid. "thank you Esme." We coursed except for Alice and Edward who said "Thank you mom."
The rest of the day spent playing kiddy games like tag and hide &s seek. I won at hide & seek. By the end of the day we were all exhausted and were heading over to my house, where we were all to stay. Charlie had no problem with us staying in the same house as long as an adult was present and girls slept in separate rooms from boys, in his house it men boys got down stairs, girls got my room.
The weekend passed in a blur. We had so much fun. Sunday there was a movie marathon followed by a halo war. Emmett won at halo. This kind of thing was normal for the six of us. We did this at least once a month. For old times sake, due to a pack that we had made when we were ten that we would always devote at least one weekend a month to games and movies and junk food with friends. No matter what, we would always be there for each other, and to go to each other if we ever needed something. Friends first.
