Chapter 4
I don't own Twilight.
Bella's POV
"Okay so tell me, AND DON'T LIE! Do you like Luke?" Okay I obviously didn't do a good job at staying away from that conversation. Clearly.
"Alice, no, and even If I did have a tiny crush on him, he wouldn't like me back, so it's pointless to even talk about it."
"AHA! So you DO like him! I knew it. You know I know these things." Alice grinned.
"Alice… Once again. It's pointless. He's a senior, why would he be interested in me? Okay, just drop it, please." Can't she see this is making me really uncomfortable?
"Fine, but mark my words Isabella. He WILL ask you out, and you WILL say yes, because you DO like him." She had that evil glint in her eyes again.
"Whatever…" I muttered.
"LADIES! Get ready for an intense round of……TRUTH OR DARE!" Emmett barged into Alice's bedroom.
"EMMETT! You know the rules! What if we're changing!" Alice yelled at her big brother.
"Okay, okay….But still get your asses downstairs Rosie and Jasper will be here soon." And with that he left.
"Can I change first? I don't want to sit around in skinny jeans anymore." I whined.
"Fine. But I get to pick out your outfit….." She skipped into her closet. And came back a minute later holding a pair of dark blue Victoria's Secret short shorts, and a white tank top, with a dark blue VS pink dog on it.
"Here, mines similar, except of course, mines pink" She smiled at me.
"Hey guys." Rosalie walked into the room.
"Hi Rose, here I have a pair of PJ's for you too, OH! We will ALL match!" She ran into her closet again and came back with a red set.
"Come on ladies! Let's get dressed and go downstairs."
We all changed and went downstairs. The guys were already there, Edward included. That was a surprise, he never hangs out with us anymore. I looked at the girls and saw that they were thinking the same thing. Oh well, he probably doesn't have any other plans.
"Okay! Now that the ladies are here, let the games begin." Emmett said. "The rules haven't changed, they're the same as the last time we played. You only get one chicken for a dare and no chickens for truth. Got it?" We all cracked up.
"Em, seriously stop with the authority tone, all right?" Jasper asked.
"Can we just start." Emmett whined, clearly irritated with the fact that we made him wait so long.
"Fine Em, since you're so impatient why don't you start." Rosalie tried to make him feel better.
"Okay! Jasper, truth or dare?"
Jasper didn't even think before answering.
"Dare"
"All right! I dare you to run down the street naked…."
"Emmett that's my brother, come on." Rosalie started complaining.
"Wait! I'm not done! While singing Barbie Girl! Ha!" Emmett was really amused by this.
"Oh come one Jazzy, you're not going to back out, are you?" Alice pouted.
"Yeah Jazzy, you're not really going to use a chicken are you?" Emmett teased.
Jasper glared at Emmett before getting up and stalking to the front door, leaving a trail of clothes behind him. Alice and Emmett immediately got up and followed him.
"I'm not watching this, I'll be in the kitchen." Rosalie walked off.
I tried to get up but a warm hand grasped my wrist.
"Are you still not talking to me?" Edward asked softly, and for the first time since we became enemies he actually sounded sincere towards me. I tried to free my wrist, after all I am still mad at him.
"Oh come on Bella, this is becoming childish don't you think? Ignoring me, really? How old are we, five?" He asked.
"I'm the one who's childish? You're the one who has been treating me like crap for the past two years! Now you expect me to pay attention to you? Who do you think you are? Because I am not going to be one of your little followers that kisses your ass just to make you happy!"
I finally wrenched my wrist out of his strong grasp and stormed off into the kitchen. Rosalie was sitting there with a knowing look on her face.
"I heard that, are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah I'm fine, I'm just so sick of his crap!" I complained.
"I know Bells, I know. Just don't let him get to you now, you've been holding up so perfectly for the past two years, don't let him break you now." She whispered while holding me close
Out of our whole group Rosalie is the most miss-understood. People often thought she's a stuck up bitch, but that's not the truth. Even though Rosalie is extremely gorgeous she still feels self-conscious at times, she uses smart-ass, witty remarks to cover up her insecurities and people always think that that's her ego talking. I know better. She was always there for me, while Alice was there to cheer me up Rosalie was there to hold me and let me cry for hours straight, not to mention punch the person that made me cry in the first place.
"I just don't understand, why did he decide to join us now?" I whispered.
"I don't know, but you and I will find out okay?" She whispered back. I nodded.
We heard Emmett before we actually saw him.
"OHMYGOD! You guys should of seen him! Mrs. Henderson was checking him out!" Emmett was in hysterics holding on to the counter for dear life.
"Mrs. Henderson? The sixty year old lady down the block?" I asked, truly amused.
"She wasn't checking me out!" Jasper came into the kitchen, fully clothed with Alice skipping behind him.
"Okay Jasper, whatever you say man, Hey! Let's go back into the living room! Jasper It's your turn!" Emmett ran full speed out of the kitchen.
Oh no. Edward was in the living room, I can't face him! Rosalie must of seen my panicked expression.
"Bella It's okay, just remember what I said before. Don't let him get to you." She whispered. I nodded and we walked into the living room together to find the boys and Alice back in their previous seats.
"Jasper GO!" Emmett was annoyed again.
"Okay, okay… Bella, truth or dare?" He asked.
Oh no.
I don't want to pick truth because I don't want him to ask any personal questions. But I don't want to pick dare because public humiliation isn't my thing.
But then I remembered, that this is Jasper I'm talking about and that he's the nicest one of all.
"Dare." I stated simply. Jasper got an evil glint his eye.
"I dare you to let Alice dress you up and do your make up for the rest of the week without you complaining." He was grinning ear to ear by now.
Well fuck.
"AHH Jazzy! Ohmygod! What a great dare!" Alice jumped in his arms and kissed him.
I groaned, I CANNOT believe Jasper would do this to me! I thought we were friends!
"Oh come on Bella. It can't be THAT bad." He teased. Oh yeah sure Jasper! He knew how evil Alice is when it comes to these things! He experienced it before!
"Whatever." I simply muttered.
"Okay Jingle- Bells it's your turn." Emmett said.
Fine. He wants to play, I'll play.
"Emmett, truth or dare?" I asked.
"Oh you know me Bells! I'm all DARE!" Okay then……
"I dare you to call Mr. Henderson and tell him that you had some wild fantasies about his wife, and that you're interested In making them come true." Oh yeah, take that.
"What! No! We don't have his phone number." He grinned.
"Actually, he's on our contacts list." Alice stated.
"You will pay for this Bella!" Emmett shouted.
He went to dial the phone number.
"Put it on speaker!" Rosalie said!
"Fine…" Emmett pushed the button and sat in front of the phone.
"Hello." An old male voice answered, clearly Mr. Henderson.
"Yeah Mr. Henderson? This is Emmett Cullen calling." Emmett replied.
"Yeah, what do you want boy?" Mr. Henderson asked.
Emmett took a deep breath.
"I just wanted to let you know that I've been having some wild fantasies about your wife, Linda is it? And I really want to make them come true."
I was holding onto Rosalie by now cracking up.
"What did you just say boy! You better shut your mouth before I whip your ass! Do you hear me!?" Mr. Henderson yelled over the phone.
"Yes sir, have a good day." Emmett muttered before he quickly hung up.
We were al laughing our asses off by now, holding on to each other for support.
"Okay, I have to admit Bells, that was genius!" Alice squeaked.
"Thank you, thank you very much." I laughed.
"Okay, okay, break it up, it's my turn!" Emmett yelled.
"Stop being a baby Emmett." Rosalie ordered, I think Emmett shrunk back in his seat a little.
"Okay…" His voice broke, "I mean okay, umm Edward truth or dare?" He had a glint in his eye.
Edward thought about it for a second before responding.
"Dare."
"Okay buddy boy, I dare you to hold Jingle –Bells here on your lap for the rest of the night." HAHA wait… WHAT!?
"What!? Emmett! How is that fair to me!? Why am I included in his dare?!" I was in hysterics now.
"WHOAH! Chill Bells, game rules. I can use you in his dare if I want to, you did two Fridays ago. For Alice's dare I was the one that had to ruin her dress. Memba' ?" Ugh he had a point.
"Well Edward can still back out so HA!" Oh yeah, I won. I know Edward will take a pass on this on.
We all looked at Edward expectantly, he was grinning like he actually liked this dare. Oh my god. NO!
"I'm fine with it, come here Jingle- Bells, come to papa." Why is he enjoying this? This isn't a good thing! He hates me! I hate him!
"Are you serious?" I croaked out.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be serious?" He was grinning, that bastard was grinning.
Emmett cleared his throat.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, Bella you can't make a sound while you're snugglin' with Edward here, or we you'll have to do a double dare when it's your turn." Emmett announced.
I wanted to punch him, for two things actually.
First, he said I was going to be snugglin' with Edward.
Second, he used the "Double Dare" threat on me.
You see Emmett takes these games very seriously and his rules are ridiculous, a double dare means that you have to do two dares for one turn. Two very sick dares, which will definitely humiliate you for life.
I would know.
I didn't realize everyone was looking at me, of course when I finally did realize that I blushed crimson, everyone chuckled.
"Come on Bells, come and snuggle with me." I groaned but made my over to him, he opened his arms and smiled at me, and of course I blushed again.
"No funny business Cullen." I warned.
"Can't promise you anything…" He muttered, but it was too late because I was already sitting on his lap.
"Remember Bella, not a sound." Emmett warned. I nodded.
"Okay, so is it my turn?" Asked Edward.
"Yep." Emmett said.
"Okay," Edward thought out loud. "Rosalie, truth or dare?"
"Dare." Rosalie replied.
"Okay, I dare you not to touch Emmett tonight and tomorrow morning."
Jasper and Alice started cracking up, everyone knew how physical Rose and Em are.
"Are you serious!" Emmett yelled.
"Yeah man, one hundred percent." Edward replied. Rosalie just sat there glaring at him.
"Whatever," She muttered "It's my turn anyways." She flipped her hair over her shoulder.
"Alice, truth or dare?" Rose asked
"Hmm, I'm going to pick truth." She sang. Everyone groaned.
"Fine, were you the one who scratched Emmett's Hummer?" She asked. Oh that's a good one.
Alice looked nervous. But we knew she wouldn't lie.
"Yes." She whispered.
"Alice!" Emmet shouted. "I had to pay two hundred bucks two get that fixed!"
"Chill Em, It's not a big deal." Rosalie soothed.
"Sorry Em, I just didn't want you to get mad at me." Alice whispered.
Emmett sighed "I guess it's fine, just tell me next time."
Alice smiled, "Okay, I think it's time for a movie!"
"Oh! I know, we'll watch SawV!" Oh god. I hate scary movies! Especially when I'm sitting in Edward's lap…
"Good choice sis!" Emmett agreed.
Edward must of seen my worried expression, because he slowly started rubbing circles on my lower back, and it felt good.
"Still scared of scary movies I see." He pondered. I SO wish I could talk right now.
"Don't worry babe, I wont let Jigsaw get you." Babe? Whoa man, hold up. Who is he calling babe?
He continued to rub my lower back and I felt his hands going lower with each circle he made.
"Hold on. I'll get some blankets." Alice skipped out of the room and came back with three blankets. She handed us one and Edward covered both of us up.
Alice and Jasper cuddled on the loveseat, and Rosalie and Em got comfy on the big couch, while Edward and I were seated on a smaller version of the love seat that was occupied by Alice and Jasper.
It felt like we were isolated from everyone else because we were on the other side of the room. And I was almost positive Edward was enjoying this.
"Okay we're ready, turn off the lights Em." Rosalie ordered, god, he's so whipped.
The movie started and I tried not to pay attention, Edward was making this easy because his hand was now stroking my ass.
I am definitely punching him in the face after this.
I knew he was enjoying this, because when I looked at him he was staring at me with a huge grin on his face.
"Are you enjoying the movie Swan?" I hate him so much.
I squirmed in his lap which only made him grin wider.
Maybe if I'd ignore him he'll stop teasing me?
I stopped moving and stared at the screen, but I wasn't really seeing the movie, my mind was elsewhere. Like the fact that Edward is here, with us tonight, like nothing ever happened. Yeah that shit really pissed me off.
I suffered two years because of him and he waltzes back into our lives like nothing happened in the first place.
How is that fair? Is he sick of his little posse? Are they not good enough for him now? All I know is that I'm not going to let him ruin me again. I'm not going to let Edward Cullen hurt me again. It can't happen.
I must of dozed off because I felt someone carrying me up the stairs, I opened my eyes the best I could and saw Edward carrying me to the guest room. I'm guessing Jasper is staying over.
I felt soft sheets underneath me and I knew I was in my bed.
"Goodnight Isabella." He whispered, and then I felt his lips on my forehead.
What the hell.
I heard the door close and I knew he left, I touched the spot that he kissed.
It was still on fire.
