Bella POV
"Ha!!!!!!" Emmet boomed, "I won!!! Let's play again to see who can bet the Emmster!!!"
I inwardly sighed as did everyone other else. This was the 157th time we've played this game in 2 days straight. It was kind of getting boring but I couldn't say that to Emmet. He'd yell at me again.
"Emmster?" Rosalie questioned amused.
"Yes. THE Emmster to the rest of you." Emmet was really dumb sometimes. This was the perfect opportunity to take advantage of Emmet and stop this game of poker, which of course I had no idea how to play so I always lost. So of course I was ready to pounce and make a crack at Emmet but of course Alice had shot the gun before I was locked and loaded.
"Hey Emmster?" Alice asked.
"Yes, Alice?"
"Why the new…, well name?" She said trying to hold back fits of laughter when Emmet put his hand to his chin to think.
"I don't know I just like it."
"Well we're not calling you that sweetie." Esme interjected.
"Not unless you want to be homeless." Rosalie added.
"Why would I be homeless?" Emmet asked.
"Because, Emmet I'm NOT sharing a house with THE Emmster." Rosalie stated.
"Fine." Emmet huffed like a little 6 year old who didn't get what they wanted.
I finally spoke up, "Emmet?"
"Yes Bella?"
"Can we stop playing poker now?"
"But why it's really fun?!?!?!"
This caused everyone to roll their eyes, even Carlisle. Carlisle had on a grumpy face which soon turned into a smile when he looked at his watch.
"I have to go to work now. I'm sorry guys." He said then bolted through the door, into his car then sped down the driveway, then on to the highway, all the way out of hearing range.
Esme smiled and said that she had to go grocery shopping.
"But Esme?" Emmet said all winy. "We don't even eat human food."
"Yes, I know Emmet but I need to make an appearance. I haven't been to the grocery store in almost a week and condsering there's six of us, not including Edward, Bella, Renesemee, then the werewolves who always drop by that's not going to be enough food. Plus considering my fridge, and food cabinets are empty if someone drops by unexpectedly that could set them off."
"Plus!" Alice interjected, "Renesmee, and the werewolves DO eat human food."
Emmet took a deep breath and finally agreed to let Esme go.
After Emmet finished being all winy and mumbling something about how old people are no fun he looked up at us.
"Now what are we gonna do?" Jasper asked.
"We're NOT playing poker!!!" Alice and I yelled at the same time.
Emmet looked like he was hit below the belt. But he quickly regained his composure and replaced the frown with a sly smile.
"Uh-Oh" Was the only noise I heard in the house.
Alice started having a vision, Edward was watching the vision along with her, and Jasper looked a little uncomfortable. I mean I guess with all the emotions he was feeling. Rosalie looked at me and we both had frightened faces painted on.
Edward started smiling, so did Alice. I guess that means it couldn't be that bad right?
Edward wouldn't do that to me right?
Right?

WRONG.
"Let's spice this game up a little." Emmet grinned mischievously at Rosalie. Then continued with what he was saying.
"Let's play," Emmet paused for dramatic affect.
Oh God.
"Strip Poker!!!"
I hate you Edward. I hate you Edward. I hate you Edward. I hate you Edward.
I hate you Edward. I hate you Edward. I hate you Edward. I hate you Edward.
I hate you Edward. I hate you Edward. I hate you Edward. I hate you Edward.
I hate you Edward. I hate you Edward. I hate you Edward. I hate you Edward.
"Yeah, and let's make it a little more interesting." Alice smirked evilly.
I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice.
I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice.
I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice.
I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice.
I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice. I hate you Alice.
Maybe Rosalie won't want to play. Yeah! Because if Rose doesn't want to play them Emmet won't play because, well she's his Rose, his wife, his life. And of course, she's his eye candy.
"Sure. I'll play. Alice how are you planning on spicing up this game?" Rosalie answered.
"Okay, so I was thinking that maybe instead of playing Strip POKER. We could a different card game."
Maybe Jasper won't want to play……?
"But still Strip something right?" asked Emmet.
"Yeah still strip something." Replied Alice.
"What card game were you thinking of?" Emmet questioned.
"Something everyone can play right. Because last time my poor Bella lost miserably."
"Edward!" If I could blush, my face would be beat red.
"Sorry Bella but it's true." Rosalie smiled.
"I know." I smiled guiltily.
I still don't wanna play. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO freaking way.
Everybody looks as if they're interested though. Jasper's my only hope. Please Jasper, don't play, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't play!!!!!!!
"So Bella what game do you wanna play?" Rosalie asked.
I don't wanna!!!!!
"Um, I don't know I suck at all card games, board games, physical games, pretty much everything so don't go by me." I smiled.
Yes go by me so I don't have to play the game and be embarrassed!!
"How about we play Strip War!!!!" Jasper yelled all excited. Of course that son of a gun found something to do with war.
Damn now I HAVE to play or they'll force me.
'Jasper I hate you' I thought while glaring at Jasper. His reaction was of course laughing turning all the attention to us. Making everyone else look at me.
I took a long, deep, unnecessary breathe.
Emmet started passing out the cards.
Here we go.
-1 Hour later-
We're all sitting around the dining room table. Rosalie left in nothing but her underwear and a sock. Emmet had on his boxers but from how he was playing those are coming off soon. Jasper had only lost his shoes, and socks in the discard pile.
He's good at this game. Damn, he's good at anything relating to war. Even if it had nothing to do with it and only the name was relating to it.
Alice was left in her shirt, one sandal, and her underwear. Edward was still fully clothed except for a shoe.
Then there was me.
All I'm thinking at the moment is thank god Renesmee is at Charlie's.
While a chorus of I hate Emmet. I hate Alice. I hate Jasper. I hate Rosalie. Edward you suck kept repeating in my head.
Over and over, and over again.
And again, and again, and again, and AGAIN.
I'm just sitting there in my red lacey bra that I kept from the honeymoon that Alice stuffed into my suitcase. I considered using my powers to block Edward's mind to at least stay in the game and make it fair. But considering nobody is allowed to look at their cards that wouldn't help. So nobody had an advantage.
Emotions couldn't help Jasper, Mind reading couldn't help Edward, and maybe seeing the future would have helped Alice. But Alice hasn't had a vision since we started this game so she's not using it. My shield doesn't help. Then there's Rose and Emmet who didn't have powers. They with held beauty and strength. I mean we do too, just not like them.
I don't know why I'm ranting on and on, it's not going to help me win.
I looked up at my family. They were all looking at me. It looked like they were expecting something.
But what………?
"Bella honey?"
"Yes Edward?"
"Place a card down."
That could be it. Yeah that's reasonable. I've been staring off in space for like 2 minutes.
I was not happy with the outcome.
Emmet had tied my card. But of course we didn't tie for the highest card. We tied for the lowest card.
Here goes nothing. I thought as I placed down another card.
5 against a 9.
Guess who had the 5. Yeah that's right. Me.
I hate Card Game Nights.
