Chapter 4: Cullen Time!

Bella's POV

After school I went home with the Cullens' following me in their Volvo. I dropped my Truck off and my school stuff, leaving Charlie a note saying I would be back later tonight and I was with friends. I jumped in the car to be squished next to Rosalie and Emmett, because Alice was sitting on Jasper's lap up front. And Edward was driving. We drove through the town and I saw the oddest thing. I thought I saw Mike with his arms wrapped around Lauren Mallory. I shook my head and said, "So where do you guys live?"

"Well we leave a couple of miles out of town." Replied Alice excited. She was bouncing in Jasper's seat and he was laughing. Edward sped up and drove at least sixty miles over the limit. But we got to their house, I mean mansion in no time! That house was huge. It was an off white with columns and it looked like the white house. Just a smaller version. It was amazing. No words would describe it. Before I could even open the door Edward opened it and held his hand out to help me out. I smiled shyly and took it gladly.

"What do you think?" he asked flashing a crooked smile which is now my favorite.

"It is…um, amazing, gorgeous, beautiful," I said trying to think of the right word. He flashed a smile and helped me out and then took me up the stairs and into the home. Inside it was very open with white walls and a lot of windows in the back of the house. But before I took anymore steps I was pulled into a hug from this beautiful woman who had an amazing smile.

"Hello, I am Esme. You must be Bella." She said as she pulled away from the motherly hug. I smiled.

"Yes. I am. It is a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Cullen."

"Oh you must just call me Esme. Mrs. Cullen is too formal." And then a blonde man that looked better than Brad Pitt walked up took my hand and shook it.

"I am Carlisle. It is a pleasure to meet you." He said.

"Oh, the pleasure is all mine. Your home is beautiful." Carlisle smiled. I wanted to ask him for his autograph but I stopped my self giggling in my head about their reactions to what would happen.

"So Edward why don't you give Bella the tour of the house. I have to run to the hospital."

"Ok." Said Edward not taking his eyes off of me. Then he grabbed my hand and pulled me with no effort at all and it felt like I was being dragged. He showed me all of the rooms including Jasper's and Alice's, Rosalie and Emmett's, and his room. It was weird because Edward's was the only one with out a bed. I guess he is just more comfortable in that way. "So how long have you been dating Mike?"

"Oh, umm…4 months. I am not sure. He is the one who keeps count." After I say that with my face turning blood red, he started chuckling.

"I would think the girls keep count. At least that is what I remember."

"Well this ain't your traditional place. It is actually the total opposite."

"I guess I can see that now."

"Mmmhmm." And right while I was saying that I tripped over my own feet right on front of the stairs to go down. But in less than 3 seconds Edward caught me. And as usual I blushed feverishly. He laughed and lifted me up.

"You're so beautiful when you blush," he murmured. I smiled shyly and we walked down to the bottom of the stairs to find Alice. She was jumping up and down with this excited look.

"Hey Bella! Do you wanna stay over night?!" she said looking into my eyes with her puppy dog eyes.

"Umm, Sure. But I have to call my dad, Charlie." And before I even finished my sentence Alice had a phone out and tossed it to me. I opened it and dialed the home number to get the voicemail.

"Hey Dad, I am staying over at Angela's house. She'll give me a ride to school tomorrow. Bye, Love you!" I said quickly and hung up hoping he would not call back. I handed her the phone and followed her to the living room where we will be sleeping. After I walked around a bit I heard Edward and Carlisle talking. I guess he had come back. So I snuck over and listened to what he was saying.

"I can't hear her thoughts. It is so weird. But she smells- ugh! I don't know." I sniffed my hair. Strawberry shampoo. My favorite. Huh, I didn't know I smelt bad.

"Well maybe if she ever finds out what we are…maybe she would understand. All of us being vampires might make her run and scream." I slightly gasped. And I could hear them move as like they heard something. I was surprised but they went back to their normal conversation.

"I don't think so. And her freak of a boyfriend Mike is cheating on her with five other girls. And I wanna get her out of it. The whole school is in on it but those girls and they act like they are the happiest people on earth. It is pretty frightening. And he wants to have Rosalie and Alice which is the dumbest thing I have ever heard."

"Hmm. That is her problem. We do not wanna have to interfere when we have to leave."

That is all I could take. So I walked back to the living room and plopped on the couch next to Emmett who gave me an apologetic smile. I guess everyone knew.

"So Emmett, what do you like to do for fun?" I asked hoping for something that might help me find out more about vampires, if he was one of course.

"Oh, I like to hunt and play video games and sometimes even sports." He said turning his body so he was looking at me full view.

"So what kind of hunting? Like do you do arrow and bow or do you do guns."

"Hmmm. A little bit of both I would think." Dang it! He is smart.

"Oh that's cool."

"My turn to ask you the questions. What are your hobbies?"

"Reading, Cooking, Hiking, and even playing video games. Halo 3 is my favorite."

"Oh, my gosh! I love halo 3! I have it. Wanna go play it?!"

"I am in!" So he jumped up, grabbed my hand at the speed of light (Or vampire speed I guess) and pulled to a darker room with a giant TV. It had a shelf with about every game on the planet.

"This is my, well Jasper and my game room. So what do you wanna start with? Multi-player?"

"Oh yeah. Bring it on!" We fell into the bean bags and grabbed the Xbox 360's controllers and he turned on the machine and stuck the game in. Then he jumped back into his seat while it was going through the previews. "So, were you adopted by the Cullens?"

"Yah. All of us are. Only Rosalie and Jasper are related they are twins."

"Oh, so not to pry or anything but what happened to your parents?"

"Umm, well they got in a car crash, so I was on my own and I walked for like ever and then I got to a foster home. Then that year I turned 7. Then at Christmastime Carlisle and Esme adopted me. And I have been with them ever since." He said with a matter of factly tone. Then the start screen came on so we played our hearts out. I beat him in the last five seconds! It was amazing! I was doing my victory dance when Edward walked in on us. And of course I trip, fall into the bean bag and to make things worse, Emmett started cracking up. "Oh My God Bella! You're face is the same color as the bean bag. That was so frickin hilarious!" He said and then fell off the bag and was rolling on the floor.

"Ok, Emmett enough with the harassment." Said Edward while helping me up. I smiled and then he turned to Emmett and said. "At least I did not lose to a girl." And grabbed my hand and we walked out.

"Thanks so much Edward." I said as we were walking back up the stairs.

"Anytime. So are you hungry?"

"Starved. Let's go! I'll race you!" And with that he ran up the stairs and beat the crap out of me. But of course while running I trip up the stairs. But luckily I caught myself and I ran up to their white kitchen.

I found that Esme was cooking me Ribs and mashed potatoes. That is my favorite. When I sat down at the dining room table next to Edward of course I realized something. This table looked like it needed a good dusting. It looked like it hasn't been dusting in years.

Well duh! They are vampires. What do you think they do just sit around the table drinking blood like a milkshake? I shuddered at the thought. But the good news is right after I gave the quick look around Esme waltzed in with a giant plate of ribs that smelled heavenly. And right after looking like a goddess was Rosalie with the mashed potatoes. And after cam Alice with the salad which looked delicious. They set the food down and served it simultaneously to each family member. From the corner of my eye I thought I saw Jasper making a face at the food like it was vomit.

After they served it I dug into my food hungrily. I looked up to see all the Cullens staring at me in surprise. I felt the blood rushing to my cheeks as I put my head down and started to eat again.

After dinner, all the kids went into the living room and sat down.

"Let's watch a movie!" Alice said squealing. She raced over to the case of DVDs and pulled 5 out and spread them on the floor. From what I could see the choices were Twilight, The Notebook, A Walk to remember, Prom Night, and Ferris Bueller's day off. After many rounds of voting it was down to Twilight (Ha ha, I could not resist) and Prom Night. "I think Bella should chose between the 2 movies. Since she is our guest." Said Alice, like she knew which movie I was going to pick.

"Well, Twilight I guess. I haven't seen that one." I said kind of excited to see it. I have read the books but I never got the time to see the movie.

"Well, damn. I thought you would pick prom night," said Emmett, disappointed. I laughed. And while all this was happening Alice popped the movie in. Rosalie stood up and turned off the lights as previews were rolling. This was going to be interesting.
