Chapter 3: Just a friend

BPOV

The light streaming through the window wakes me up. I open my eyes and realize I have a fucking hangover. I drank way too much last night, I remember downing like 4 after Alice had to say the stupid shit about me being jealous. I never thought I was that obvious about it, but I guess I am, or maybe Alice is just super observant.

I close my eyes, hoping that my throbbing headache will die down if I do, but of course, it doesn't do shit. I turn away from the light and when I open my eyes, I realize that my face is 2 inches from Edward's.

I sit up quickly, and then wish I hadn't when the pain in my head gets worse. Edward must have felt the bed shift, because his eyes open and he sits up with me.

"What's wrong, Bells? Are you Okay?"

"What the fuck happened last night" he chuckles and then lays back down, holding his head up with his hand.

"Well you got fucking drunk. Rosalie got drunk and we all decided that you guys should spend the night"

"Oh shit. Charlie is going to kill me" I say as I move my legs to get out of his bed, but I have to stop when the pain hits me hard again.

"Don't worry about it, Alice called your dad last night and told him you were staying over"

I breathe a sigh of relief and lay back down

"You didn't take advantage of me last night, did you?" I say, looking over at him. He starts laughing, and I crack a smile. He brings his body up, and places his hands by my head and hovers over me

"If we were going to do that, I'd want you sober so you could remember it"

Holy shit. I think I just creamed my panties

I laugh it off and he joins me, moving to lay down next to me. If only he knew how much I want him.

"So, what's the plan for today?" I ask him

"Well, when everyone gets up we'll probably clean up, and I think Alice and Jazz are going out tonight, so maybe we could hang out."

"Sure, sounds good" I say, trying to sound all calm, when inside I'm jumping up and down and screaming.

"Wait here, I'll get you something for the headache" he moves off the bed, and walks over to the bathroom, and all I can think of is how I hate when he leaves me, but I love watching him go. Edward has the best ass, ever.

He walks back out and hands me a glass of water and two pills. I take them and then lay back down, waiting for them to kick in.

Edward turns the TV on and hands me the remote. I put on MTV and of course, they're showing a reality show. Edward and I laugh at how stupid it is, and once my pill kicks in, we walk down the stairs to go help clean up. Once we reach the living room, we see that everyone has already started.

I walk over to Rose and nudge her with my shoulder

"Oh hey Drunken Beauty. How you feeling?"

"Good. Edward got me some aspirin and it's helping a bit"

She doesn't say anything, so I look at her and see that she is smiling.

"What the fuck is so interesting, Rose?" I ask, causing her to straighten up and raise her eyes to mine.

"You guys just need to fuck and get it over with"

Oh shit

"What the fuck are you talking about? Why does everyone think shit like that about us? Edward is my friend! One of my best friends. That's it" I say, turning and walking away from her. I go into the kitchen and get a rag and start to throw trash away and wipe down the counters.

I don't know how long I'm in the kitchen, but I don't leave until it's spotless. I walk out and see that everyone is pretty much done, so I walk over to the couch and join Rose.

"Bells. I'm really sorry about earlier, it's just that you and Edward would be real cute together, I think"

"We're friends, Rosalie." I say, ending the conversation. I can't say that I like him. If he and I were to date, and it ended up not working out, I would lose one of my best friends, and I wont let that happen.

I look at the clock and see that it's 4pm

"Hey Rose, take me home so I can shower and shit"

"Sure, what are we doing tonight?"

Fuck. I wanted to spend time with Edward alone, but I didn't think that Rose would be wanting to hang out with me too.

"Well, I was just going to come back here, and hang out"

Edward walks in from outside and plops down on the recliner.

"Emmett should be here in a little bit" Edward says, looking at Rose. She's had the biggest crush on Edward's brother since we we're freshman and he was the new junior in school.

"Oh well. I'll be here then. Come on Bella" she says, standing up and grabbing her keys from the table.

"What time do you want us over here?" I turn back and ask Edward.

"Umm whenever. Maybe after 8, bring some smoke"

I say okay and Rose and I walk out the door and get in her car. Rose has a red BMW, it's the nicest car I've been in, besides Edward's Audi. I drive a Volvo, and while it's pretty new, it's not a damn BMW or Audi.

We pull up to my house and I get out. I tell Rose that I'm going to drive my car to Edward's and that I'll meet her there. I remind her to get the weed and she says she will, and drives off.

I walk up the driveway, and open the door. My dad is at work, so I don't have him here asking me 20 questions right now, which I'm thankful for. I run upstairs and jump in the shower.

When I'm sure I've washed all the "drunk" off myself, I walk to my closet and pull out some skinny jeans and my panda shirt and some high top adidas, I complete the look with my pair of ray-bans, even though we live in Forks and there isn't any damn sun.

I make my way downstairs and start to make Charlie dinner since he'll be home in an hour or so.

My mom left when I was little. From what I've been told, she met another man and left us to go and start a new family. I haven't seen her since I was 6, but it's ok. Charlie and I do just fine on our own.

I'm just finishing up when Charlie comes through the door.

"Bella?" he yells

"In here, dad"

He walks in and sits down at the table, grabbing his fork and shoveling a mound of food into his mouth.

"What are you going to be up to tonight, Bells?"

"Rose and I are just going to hang out at Edwards"

He nods his head and continues to shove the food into his mouth. The news that I'm hanging out with Edward is nothing new to him. Rose and I are over there almost every weekend.

We finish eating and I bring the plates to the sink to wash, while Charlie spreads out in front of the TV. I grab my keys and my cell phone an tell my dad that I'll be home later. I walk over to my car, and drive over to Edward's.

When I get there, I see that Emmett is here already and that Alice is gone. I lock up my car and walk to the front door, pushing it open and walking to the living room. Edward and Emmett are laying on the couch, watching TV and once they see me, Emmett jumps up from the couch and runs over to me, pulling me up in a big hug and swinging me around.

"How have you been, B?" he says, still squeezing the air out of me

"Emmett, I saw you like a month ago" he laughs and puts me down. I kiss his cheek and walk over to Edward and sit next to him.

Not too long after I get there, Rose finally comes, weed and blunts in hand. She rolls one up while Edward and I try and look for a movie to watch.

We finally settle on one, and Rose lights the blunt and takes a hit. Emmett comes over and takes a hit right after her, and then moves to sit closer to her. Emmett passes it to Edward and he takes like 4 hits

"Edward. What the fuck, two puffs and then you pass, motherfucker" I say snatching the blunt from his hand.

****

"What time is it?" I ask Edward after waking up on the couch next to him.

"Oh shit, It's 3"

"Fuck, I gotta go" I get up and turn my head to tell Rosalie to wake the fuck up and lets go, but she isn't there. Neither is Emmett. That bitch went home and left me here sleeping.

I walk to the front door and when I turn back to scream bye to Edward, he is right behind me

"Oh. Umm I'll see you later" I tell him, reaching for the doorknob

"Yea. I'll call you tomorrow"

I turn the knob and open the door. I step out and my eyes land on Rosalie's car. I turn around and look at Edward, pointing towards the car.

"Oh Fuck. I'm gonna have to hear them fucking all night" he says

I laugh and then turn to leave, but then I get a crazy idea and before my brain can tell me to shut up, my mouth blurts it out.

"You can come over my place, if you want" he looks at me with a confused look on his face, and I immediately fell stupid for even saying it.

"I mean, if you want…" his confused look is replaced by a smile

"Sure. Let me just get my keys" he says, walking over to the counter. He walks back over to me once he's got everything. He locks up and then we walk towards our cars.

"Edward!" I yell once I open my car, "park down the street, Charlie goes to work in a couple of hours and I don't want him seeing your car"

He rolls his eyes and gets in his car. I start my engine, and drive towards home.

We get to my house, and Edward parks a couple of houses down. I wait for him to run up, and tell him to be quiet. I walk to the door and open it, and find my dad knocked out on the couch. We both tip toe up to my room, and I close my door and lock it once we're inside.

I turn away from the door and start off to the closet to change, when I see Edward laying on my bed.

He fucking belongs there.


I know I said I'd update once a week, but I've decided to make it twice a week. So, Sunday's and Thursdays. Remember to check out my blog for outfits and teaser's, I guess you could call them. :) -Pardonthepun
