Chapter 2 – Let The Games Begin – Part One

I was thankful that it was Edward holding me down, and not just my clumsiness creating me to keep falling back onto the couch. After noticing that I settled down and sat there waiting for the horror they were about to put me through. I knew Edward would stay by me and protect me no matter what.

"Alright you guys," I said as calm as I could. "what is really going on. What do you plan on doing to me."

"Nothing, we promise." Surprisingly that meaningful comment came from Rosalie. "We just want to play games, as in board games or physical games. Nothing that can harm you or make you embarrassed."

I looked up at Edward to see that he was concentrating on something very hard. He must have been reading their minds. Then I noticed him shake his head at Rosalie as she finished her sentence. It wasn't the type were he was warning her not to do something, he did it with a smile on his face. I also noticed him nod to Alice. She must have had a vision and he saw it. He smiled even bigger then. I somehow knew it was about me.

"Edward?" I asked "What were those faces, the nod, and shake of your head for?"

"It was nothing Bella, trust me. Would I lie to you?"

"No, but..." he cut me off before finished my sentence, by kissing me with a lot of force. I fought to keep myself under control, I didn't want this to end. We finally stopped kissing to an annoyed Rosalie and Emmett complaining.

"Awe you guys... get a room." Rosalie and Emmett stated. Alice just bounced with joy on Jaspers lap, while giggling quietly. Jasper didn't seem to mind. All of a sudden I was being lifted into the air, Edward was carrying me again. I hated when he did that, I could walk on my own now that my cast is off.

"What are you doing?" I asked in confusion.

"Well my dear, they told us we should get a room. I have a room in this house, so thats where we are going." he explained.

"Stop...you guys are going anywhere. We haven't gotten to play any games yet and we are all still severely bored. We all could just go to our rooms and have fun that way, but Edward I know that you and Bella wouldn't have as much fun as the rest of us. So we are going to stay down here and do stuff together." Alice debated trying to steal me out of Edward's gentle grip.

My god set me down. Honestly I liked him carrying me, sometimes, just not every second of the day. He didn't completely let go of me though. He took my hand as we walked back to the couch we had been sitting on. I looked at Alice, she had a glint in her eyes that scared me. I had no idea what she was planning, what kind of 'games' she wanted to play. I'm sure Edward knew, but with the way he was smiling he wasn't going to tell me anything.

"Okay Alice, we are all down here, none of us are leaving. Now what games do you want to play" Edward asked impatiently.

"Well," She started out. "I have lots of games I think we could play. What one do you want to start with?"

"Alice... you haven't told us what are choices are yet..." I reminded her.

"Oh yeah, sorry. Well I'm going to save the best ones for last. So here are your choices of games to play." She sounded so excited to start. "Now remember I'm saving the ones that I had the best visions about for last. Scrabble, Monopoly, and Twister."

"Well how about we play scrabble first," Emmett suggested. "I have a few words I have planned for this game."

Alice went to get the board game from her room, while we all waited. I was nervous for some reason. I had never been really good at scrabble before. Plus all the Cullens were so much older than me, well okay a lot older than me, so they knew more words and bigger words that I didn't. While I was busy worrying about that Edward had pulled me closer and started to kiss my neck. Just after he started Alice came back with the board in hand and she set it all up.

Then we all picked our letters, and started the game. Going by couples for our turns. Alice first, then Jasper, Edward, Me, Rosalie, and finally Emmett. When we finally got to Emmett's turn he was taking a long time.

Edward's POV

It was finally Emmett's turn. Obviously I could read his mind so I knew what he was thinking about. He was trying to decide what words he could make out of the letters he had. I looked away from him uninterested in what he could possibly put down. Finally he put a word down, I hadn't seen it coming cause I was busy staring at my angel. I looked at it, and decided it was okay. Goddess was a word, so I couldn't argue with him.

Alice's turn was the word Soul. Then Jasper's was Power. Then it was my turn again. Our rules were quite simple really, anything in past experiences and vampire related was allowed, no names though. So I looked at my letters. They were, A S N Q G E L. Within a second I put angel on the board. I looked at Bella and she just stared at me with those chocolate brown eyes she had.

I was reading Emmett's mind cause it was his turn again. He was thinking of words he could use to describe Rose. It was really gross the way he was thinking, how her body looked naked, when a picture came into his head I let a low growl out to warn him not to go there and then I quickly shut him out of my head. In all honesty I didn't want to see Rosalie naked, if anything I have been wanting to see Bella for a very long time.

Bella's POV

I looked over and saw Edward looking at Emmett. Then he looked away and growled at him. I didn't think I wanted to know what he was thinking about, but I decided I would ask Edward later, after all of the games.

After the Edward had growled that signaled the end of the game. I was guessing that Alice had seen what would have happened if we were to continue. I assume it wasn't good, so I didn't ask questions.

"Okay, so that didn't work out to well. Thanks Emmett." Alice scolded sarcastically. "Next game. Monopoly or Twister?"

"Bella why don't you chose this time." Jasper wasn't asking me a question, it was more of a statement. I thought about it awhile. I could tell they were getting impatient, especially Alice. Edward didn't mind me taking my time. I was good at Monopoly, and Twister would involve me being clumsy so I quickly decided against Twister.

"Monopoly" I replied after my long time of thinking. As soon as the words came out of my mouth Alice was gone again with the previous game and back in a flash with a new one. I looked down and saw the monopoly board set up in front of me.

We all picked our pieces. I was the dog, Rosalie the car, Alice was a shopping bag (I had no idea where she found it, but it did look pretty cool), Jasper a frog, Emmett was a bear, and Edward was a money bag. I loved Alice's piece, I've never seen one like it before. She passed out the money and of course she was the banker. I looked down at what was supposed to be Monopoly money, and realized that it was REAL money.

"Umm Alice..." I trailed off not knowing how to let her know we were about to play with real money. "If you haven't noticed this is real money." I said calmly while holding the money I was given for the game up in the air so she could see.

"Bella, thats the way we play Monopoly," Edward answered my concern. "We play with real money and whatever you end up with you keep as your own. Even you Bella."

"But I can't take the money. Its not mine."

"It will be after the game is over dear." Edward dazzled me with his topaz eyes and all I could do was nod my head.

We started the game. On the first turn Emmett ended up in jail, no surprise there. I started off pretty good. I still had all of my money I started with plus I owned 3 pieces of land. Which all had hotels on, I was proud of that, so when they landed on them they had to pay me more. For some reason on this board game it had shopping malls and stores instead of the normal version, I had a feeling it was Alice's.

The game got closer to an end when all the properties were owned by Alice. Figures, she's the shopping queen, I laughed silently at that. We had all started out with Five thousand dollars, I couldn't take that home...somehow I would have to find a way to give it back to them, without them knowing of course.

"Yay, I win" Alice exclaimed excitedly. "well I don't have the most money, but I do own all the property."

Then we all counted our money, well Alice, Edward, and I did. I knew later Emmett would ask my angel how much he had won and try to beat him. The others just shoved it in their pockets not caring how much was there. Alice had 8,300 , Edward had 6,500 , and I had 8,900. Wow... I couldn't take that money. I was even surprised I had more than Alice did, you would think that she would have the most being able to see the future and all.

That was the end of monopoly. Alice put it away in its box and ran upstairs to her room. In 2 minutes she returned with another game in a square box, most games came in rectangular boxes. I got a glimpse of the colors it had on the cover and it made me shuddered in horror.

"No, Alice" I said even more scared than when she wanted to play dress up. "You know I'm clumsy, and yet you subject me to this. I refuse to have a part in this game. You can't make me."

"Your right Bella, I can't make you." she said that like she had a secret plan. "... but if Edward dazzles you, it won't be a problem. Quick...Edward do it now before she can run away." She was laughing at this point

"Do you honestly think she can get away from me Alice, none the less do you think she wants to be away from me right now." And as he finished his statement he looked into my eyes deeply with his topaz ones and kissed me with more force than he normally would. I was lost. I was still scared of the box Alice held in her hands while she gleamed at me in hopes her plan had worked.

AN: Sorry it took so long... but if u read the last authors note I promised it would be updated today... so I kept my promise... anyway.. what did u think?... this has another part to it... just cause I didn't get to put the other games in there.

If anybody can guess what game it is... I might update the next chapter sooner.
