So there we are. I honestly don't think I have anything better to do, haha. But that's okay, I enjoy writing and I'm really enjoying writing for Twilight. Everything is so flexible if you know how to get around it.
Bella's POV
'How about we take this back to the house? Bella must be getting cold.' Carlisle says, motioning towards me.
'Carlisle, I've lived with three nomadic vampires for ten of the seventeen years I've been alive. A little cold isn't going to do me much harm. But you're right, we should take this somewhere indoors before it starts raining.' I say, smiling slightly at the Cullen patriarch.
'Wanna ride with us, Bella Bear? Jasper and I are going in the Jeep.' Emmet asks. Damn him, he knows I secretly love riding in his Jeep with him. Edward would hardly ever let me go, though.
'You play dirty, Emmy Bear.' I say with a faux glare before looking at the rest of his family. Carlisle and Esme are leading Edward to their car. I hear Edward whine a little bit about being sure I'm his mate, which makes me roll my eyes. I then turn to Alice and Rosalie, who look to be in a heated conversation. They're talking too low for anyone else to hear, but from the looks of things, Alice is trying to convince Rose of something. The look on Rosalie's face tells me she wants so badly to believe what Alice is telling her, but she just can't bring herself to do it.
'We'll see you there, okay baby girl?' Victoria tells me, pulling my attention from the two goddesses. Yes, I just called them goddesses. No, I don't know where that came from. No, I will never say it out loud.
'Okay, mama. How are you gonna get there?' I ask, curious.
'We're going to follow on foot. Don't give the boys a hard time, okay?' James tells me, smirking.
'I've toned it down since I've been here. Besides, it's only fun when I get you in trouble.' I counter, winking at him before Emmett throws me over his shoulder and starts walking to his Jeep.
'Emmett! Put me down!' I whine, causing him to chuckle and do as he's told once we reach the Jeep.
'Sorry Bella Bear. Edward would never let me mess with you as much as I'd like. I need to make up for lost time.' He smiles, helping me strap in.
I put on a face of mock horror, causing both Emmett and Jasper to laugh with me following close after. Everyone's already gone by the time we start heading to the Cullen house. I notice Emmett's driving considerably slower than he normally would, which makes me think he and Jasper want to talk to me about something. 'You can ask me whatever you want, you know. Biting's your thing, not mine.' I tease.
Jasper catches my teasing and runs with it. 'You'd probably break your teeth if you tried.'
We all laugh and then, surprisingly, Emmett gets serious. 'So...when are you gonna fess up to having feelings for Alice and Rose?'
I nearly have a heart attack when the words leave his mouth. Jasper hits him upside the head like I've seen Rose do so many times, causing him to swerve a little. 'You idiot. You could've approached the subject with a little more tact.'
'You know I don't do subtle. Besides, I wanna know.' Emmett whines, sounding like the huge child I know and love.
'It's just a crush, so no need to worry.' I say, making Jasper look at me with a confused expression.
'What do you mean, Bella Bear. Why would we be worried?' Emmett asks, glancing at me.
'I know how protective vampires are of their mates, trust me I've witnessed that first hand. But that's a story for another time. I'm just saying that my feelings are nothing serious.' Great, I sound like I'm trying to convince myself rather than them.
'What does that have to do with your feelings for Alice and Rose?' Jasper asks me, leaning forward from the back seat so he's between me and Emmett.
'Edward told me you're mated with Alice.' I point to Jasper. 'And you are mated with Rosalie.' I point to Emmett. 'I didn't want you thinking I was trying to steal your mates.'
Emmett looks at Jasper and it looks like they had a quick conversation with their eyes. 'Alice and Rose aren't our mates, Bella Bear.'
'What?' Now I'm officially confused.
Emmett pulls over right as we come to the unmarked drive to their house. 'What's going on, guys?'
'You know this can get us killed, right?' Jasper asks Emmett, looking at the bear man curiously. 'Alice will already have twenty different punishments for us by the time we get home if she sees this.'
'As long as we don't make any final decisions, she won't and no one will know we had anything to do with this.' Emmett says, smiling slightly at his brother.
'What are you talking about, guys?' I ask, completely clueless. Feeling left out sucks, man.
'You know how it's always said that a vampire has only one mate that they're destined to be with for the rest of their existence?' Jasper asks me, getting a nod in return. 'Well, there are very rare cases where vampires have two mates. It's even more rare that a vampire can be with them at the same time. Normally one is taken from them before they find the other.'
'What does this have to do with me?' I ask, even more confused.
'Alice and Rose are your mates.' Emmett blurts out, causing Jasper to hit him again. 'I'm sorry, but she obviously wasn't going to figure it out. Edward screwed with her mind so much, she doesn't even know which way is up anymore. Who knows what other lies he's told her about our family.'
Then it hits me. All the signs have been there, but Edward effed up my knowledge of his family so bad I didn't see them correctly. 'You can't say we told you anything, though. Alice and Rose will kick our asses to February 33rd if they knew.' Jasper says, looking worried.
I smile at his reference and then an idea starts forming in my mind. 'Don't worry, my lips are sealed. So you two haven't found your mates yet?'
They shake their heads, causing me to grin. All that time with James is finally gonna be useful.
Does anyone get the reference? I don't know why I put it in there, I just kinda did. Anyway, Edward is an ass and has been from the beginning but I'll leave that tiny window open just in case he wants to redeem himself. Hope ya'll enjoyed it. Hasta luego mi pastelitos, good damn bye
