Chapter 3
Bella's POV
I sat on the couch day dreaming about Edward and his return. Emmett sat next to me on my left with Jasper next to him. They were playing each other at a game of Halo.
Their heads were moving faster than humans as they faced people in X-box live. Emmett was starting to grip the controller harder. "Stupid nerds, I'm going to find you! Dammit! Jasper, where were you?"
Jasper growled and hit Emmett in the arm. "I'm trying to cover my own ass." He was starting to get competitive.
"Alright boys after this Alice and I get the television."
Alice nodded from her spot in the chair beside the couch. "Yeah, you guys have been playing all day." She crossed her arms and looked over at Jasper.
"Yeah, Emmett, we should let the girls have the T.V. for awhile." I wasn't sure if it was because of my feelings I was sending to him or his fear of Alice's wrath that he had sided with us.
Emmett finished his session and got up heading towards the backyard.
Alice turned on a chick flick causing me to groan. She sighed changing the channel putting on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. (I know it's over played but it's the only movie I could find that I liked Robert Pattinson in.)
I laid down on the couch interested in this movie. I had always loved watching this movie only this time I wished that Edward was with me. "Alice, I'm going to listen to music in Edward's room."
"It's your room too, you know." She smiled turning the television to the shopping network seeing as I would no longer be in room. Bouncing in her seat, Alice turned the volume up.
Once I was in my room, I turned on Claire De Lune. I closed my eyes thinking about what Edward and I would be doing later. Just the thought of him caused my heart to flutter.
Jasper POV
Bella's lustful feelings had me wanting to pounce on Alice or whomever was near me. I needed to get out of the house before I ended up hitting on Emmett.
I was more than happy to get out of the room when the girls demanded to have T.V. time.
Emmett walked out to the backyard and I was right behind him. Quickly, he faced me grinning. The excitement emanating from the house began to get to me.
"Best two out of three?" he questioned.
"I bet I can best you." Fairly confident in my abilities, I wanted to wager Emmett.
"Loser has to get a make-over by Alice?" That was a pretty big wager knowing Alice went all out when she made over any of us.
"Deal" I shook his hand to seal the bet.
We faced off planning on wrestling each other. I crouched low preparing to make my move. Pouncing, I left my comfort zone to go at my brother.
Emmett grabbed me in his bear-like arms. His grip on me would have been bone crushing if I had been a human.
I elbowed him and took a step away from him before he could grab me again.
Soon I had pinned him to the ground. With a smirk, I said, "That's one. Ready to give up? Should I tell Alice to get the make-up ready?"
He struggled against me. Luckily, I was in a position where he couldn't touch me.
Eventually, Emmett was free.
By the time we had finished our wrestling, I had come out victorious.
The sun was setting as we made our way into the kitchen. Alice sat at the counter watching Bella make a sandwich.
Emmett walked in after me, his head bowed down.
"What's wrong, Emmett?" Bella was always looking out for us.
"I don't want to talk about it," my burly brother grumbled.
"He just lost a bet. Alice, I think your brother would love a make-over."
Alice squealed with delight. "Really, Emmie?"
Bella laughed at the girly nickname.
Standing next to her, we looked at each other then at Emmett saying in unison, "Really, Emmie?" We laughed as Alice dragged a glaring Emmett away.
"So, Bella, would you be interested in playing a little joke on Emmett?"
Bella grinned.
Earlier, while fighting with Emmett, I had come up with an idea to get Edward off her mind.
We had it all planned out when Emmett came running down the stairs with Alice following, a tube of lipstick in her hand.
"Come on, Emmie, this is the perfect shade for your pale complexion"
Bella fell off the couch we had been sitting on while devising our scheme. She was turning blue she was laughing so hard.
Our masculine brother was dressed in one of Alice's pink sundresses. It covered most of him but was way too short. His usually gelled curly locks were put up in studded hair clips.
"Jazz, tell Emmie to let me put lipstick on him," she pouted looking to me for support.
"Aw, Emmie, let her have her fun."
He let out a growl, narrowing his eyes at me.
"Shut up, Jazz…" He told me in a tone that told me to back off.
Bella chuckled looking at Emmett. "Nice dress." Wiping tears from her eyes, she admired Alice's handy work.
Alice smiled proud of what she had accomplished. "Isn't he adorable?" She glowed forgetting about the lipstick incident.
We both nodded holding back more laughter.
"Yeah, Emmie, you look like a model."
We just smiled as he came after me.
Our plan was going just as we had thought it would. When the excitement had died down, we all sat down on the couch. Emmett had changed back to his manly clothes.
Alice was pouting thinking her Emmie had looked cute in his dress.
We were watching Star Wars. Emmett looked at the television getting into the light saber fight that was going on.
"Kick his ass, Anakin!" he shouted at the screen causing Bella to cover her ears. Soon it would be time to put the whole prank into motion.
Bella POV
I covered my ears as Emmett yelled at the movie.
He laughed when Anakin killed Count Dooku. My older brother-in-law was such a little kid at heart.
Jasper glanced at me and I felt a little rush of lust coming my way.
All I could do was think of Edward and what he planned to do to me when he returned from hunting.
Closing his eyes, Jasper showed he felt my lust and passion.
Emmett twitched beside me signaling that he was feeling it too. He reached his arm over me. At first, I thought he would touch my leg…but no! He put it on Jasper's giving it a squeeze.
I didn't think Jasper's eyes could get any bigger.
Alice had been watching the whole scene and hissed at her brother, "Get your hand off my husband!"
Emmett jerked his hand away. "Sorry, Jasper!" He smiled sheepishly glaring at me.
Stifling a giggle, I continued to think of my husband. Jasper sent a wave of passion over us. I had to grip the couch tightly trying to fight the urge to jump on someone.
Squirming beside me, Emmett was fighting and losing against his urges. Suddenly, his lips were crashed up against mine.
This was something I had not expected. I was frozen sitting there like a statue.
My love burst in almost breaking the front door off the hinges. Calm filled the room and Emmett pulled away looking at me wide eyed.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
Rosalie entered wondering what was going on. "What's with the shouting?" she said this coolly not looking at us on the couch.
"Funny you should ask, I just walked in on your husband kissing my wife!" His shouting made my ears ache.
Never in all of my eighteen years had I ever seen such hate, that hate filled Rosalie's eyes as she came at me. "You little…" I shrunk into the couch not knowing what else to do.
Edward grabbed her hand right before she hit me. "Now, Rose, I don't think you should be taking it out on Bella or Emmett." He grinned wickedly looking at Jasper.
The accused put his hands up in defense. "It was Bella's idea!"
I looked up at Edward smiling innocently.
Edward sulked off to his room. Feeling obligated, I went after them.
I noticed Alice was trying not to laugh at some inside joke.
Hurrying up the stairs, I went into our room seeing Edward at his stereo blasting Debussy on.
The music was so loud I couldn't hear myself think. "Edward" I began. He wasn't listening to me though. "Edward" I began again hoping this time for a response. Still nothing. "Dammit, Edward, listen to me!"
I took a deep breath as he slowly turned the music down a little.
"Yes, love?" He looked towards me smiling.
"You're…You're smiling. I thought you were mad at me."
Edward picked me up in his arms. I just glared crossing mine.
"Please don't be mad. It was all part of the plan to get you alone in our bedroom. I'm sorry if I upset you."
"Then why the loud music?"
"Simply, you're in a house with vampires, and I doubt they want to hear us."
I started to think about what he was saying, the wheels moving pretty quickly. "You mean…" I trailed off. My Adonis nodded. My heart skipped a beat.
He chuckled at something.
"What's so funny?"
"Your heart" he answered.
A bright red color crept into my cheeks.
"I love when you blush." Edward turned the music back up looked down at me carrying me to the bed laying me down gently.
Carefully, he kissed me deeply.
Soon, I had to pull away my lungs begging for air. He kept kissing me even though it wasn't my lips. His hand started going up my shirt teasing the bottom of my bra.
"Edward…" I gasped.
Then ruining our moment, Alice came in without knocking. Surprised, Edward and I sat up rather quickly. I, being the clumsy one, fell off the bed.
Alice looked between us and slowly walked out the door backwards.
I got up smoothing my hair and pulling down my shirt. Edward got off the bed and turned the music off letting out a sigh.
We walked downstairs together knowing with the others around we wouldn't get a moment alone together.
Emmett was comforting Rose telling her she was the prettiest girl in the world. She smiled looking at him with love-filled eyes. I just rolled my eyes at Rose's vanity.
Alice walked up to me, her head bowed. "I'm sorry, Bella! But the music was loud and we were playing Guitar Hero and it kept throwing me off. I ignored the vision I had and went into the bedroom seeing what I had already seen…" She bit her lip looking at me with a sorry expression.
"Alice, it's fine. We weren't really doing anything anyway." I smiled at her weakly sitting on the couch next to Emmett, who immediately got up with Rose.
Edward sat down with me.
"Lucky bastard" he mumbled putting his arm around my shoulder. I looked at him wondering why he thought that.
Smiling, I whispered to him. "I heard that." I chuckled putting my hand on his leg.
He glanced down at my hand. Not being able to stand it, I made my way up getting closer to his… "Alright, I'm going for a drive." Edward got up in a hurry ruffling his hair.
"Okay, have fun."
He ran out in vampire speed.
I looked out the window to see Edward racing out of the driveway.
"You're such a tease, Bella." Alice bounced to my side.
"It was all part of the plan, Alice. Now I need your help." I grinned at her mischievously.
