Chapter Four.
The boys walked down the steps and gasped.
Esme had changed the channel. It was now on HGTV, poor boys won't have their football.
"You better not have messed up any of my luggage!" Alice threatened them menacingly without looked up from the T.V.
"Chill out Shorty. I didn't get a hug or 'Hey favorite Brother'. So get over here!" Emmett's deep voice boomed.
Alice did as told and screamed when he picked her up and twirled her around like she was weightless.
She smiled when he sat her down and said. "Emmett this is Bella." She gestured to me; I was sitting in an armchair across the room. "Bella this is Emmett."
"Hey Emmett."
"Hey Bella." He smiled and his dimples showed. He was beautiful, but not nearly as beautiful as Edward. Who was currently begging Esme for the remote.
"Edward. You have been away for three years. This T.V. is no longer yours its mine, and I am enjoying this show."
"Mommy pretty please." His bottom lip stuck out, he looked like a puppy a very beautiful puppy that I wanted to snuggle up in my lap. Stop it Bella….
"Fine. I will go get started on dinner." She gave him the remote and left the room. Carlisle who had been watching the whole thing with an amused face followed her into the kitchen.
This was like the beautiful Brady Bunch….
"Edward! I was watching that too!" Alice protested.
"Alice no one wants to watch that. Bella I bet you want to watch football, don't you?" He asked smiling his lopsided grin and oozing charm.
"Yeah, football sounds great." I was slightly dazed. Oh get a grip of yourself Bella.
"See Alice you are outnumbered. Even your best friend doesn't agree with you."
Alice shot me a glare, and I pressed my back farther into the back of the seat. I mouthed 'Sorry' and smiled.
She gave me a look of 'I know what's going on….' And I turned my focus to the television.
Alice said rather loudly. "Fine I will go to my room." She said this while throwing me a pointed look.
I got up and said. "I guess I will go with her." I got up and started walking only to have my arm grabbed and be pulled into a lap. I looked up and it was Edward's lap.
He leaned in and whispered. "Don't leave me."
I lost my breath, and my face was probably blood red.
"I have too. She's my best friend I gave you football now let me go."
He smiled his lopsided grin and I was blinded by the glare. "Bella, if she wanted you to come she would have said so…." He pouted. Stupid charmer, and I had a feeling I wasn't the first girl he had rendered speechless.
"Edward please let me go I could tell she wanted me to go..." I pouted right back.
"When she's done with you, tell her your mine." He smiled and let me go.
I stumbled but recovered as I walked with wiggly legs to her room.
The trip up the stairs was literally a trip. I kept falling but I finally made it, the hallway wasn't that bad I only fell twice.
I stumbled into her pretty pink room, and sighed. "Alice I hate you right now."
"Why?" she said from her beautiful canopy bed. Which was pink like everything else.
"Edward pulled me into his lap and dear god I was in heaven, but guess what? I had to leave him to come up here and see what you wanted!"
"Bella I just wanted to tell you that it's okay if you liked him, you just have to side with me sometimes. Just cause you like him doesn't mean you have the right to help him gang up on me."
"ALICE CULLEN!" I nearly shouted. You couldn't text that to me from up here, or mouth it our come whisper it you made me leave him and come up here to listen to it! ALICE! Yeah I am going to leave before I say some choice words…." I left her room.
My legs got back from being wiggly and wobbly, and I was able to make it back down the stairs without incident.
Edward was still sitting on the coach with Emmett who was talking on his cell phone with this glazed up look in his eyes. I plopped down next to Edward and whispered. "What's with Emmett?"
"He is talking to Rosalie, his blonde haired beauty. I think he is about to lose it." He snickered. Gosh his laugh was beautiful….Bella! I mentally scolded myself. "What did Alice want I heard yelling?"
"Yeah, she said something completely obvious and I was a little mad…" I trailed off.
"Why?"
"No reason…"
"Doesn't sound like it…"
"Nothing I promise."
"Okay."
"Have you had a tour of the house yet?"
"Well, I know where my room is…"
"I thought you were staying in Alice's."
"No her mother insisted I get my own."
"Where?"
"Up on your floor."
"Oh, so I guess you saw the pictures." He blushed.
I GOT EDWARD CULLEN TO BLUSH!
"Yeah and that meadow was beautiful…" I trailed off.
"Well, now that I have you all to myself wanna go see it?"
"Please."
"Come with me." He got up and extended his hand.
I took it and he hoisted me up. He dragged me into his silver Volvo, but this time instead of the backseat I sat up front, which gave me access to the radio. I turned the stations and finally settled on one that was playing "Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop".
"You know this song?" He asked me.
"Yeah, one of my favorites to be honest." I replied.
We listened to the station in a companionable silence. It was actually a very good one. I looked at the dial and remembered it for later.
"How far away is it?" I asked after about ten minutes.
"We are almost there." He smiled.
He was right two minutes later we were pulling up to a huge forest.
"Edward you know I can't walk over a flat surface without falling much less one that has twigs, rocks, and trees…"
"It's only about ten minutes of hiking I think that you will live." He smiled.
"Edward."I whined.
"Wanna piggy back ride?" He asked.
He was being sarcastic, but it did sound good right now. He offered his fault. I jumped on his back. He let out a gasp of shock at the extra 125 pounds.
I smiled. "Take me away horsey." I laughed and kicked his sides.
He looped his arms under my knees and instead of dropping me he took me into the wilderness.
We walked through underbrush and trees. Before I knew it I saw a light up ahead. "Is that it?" I whispered in her ear. Trying to flirt.
"Yeah, it is…" He whispered back. Then said at a normal volume, "why are you whispering?"
"I don't want to disturb the wildlife," I continued whispering.
"Bella you don't have too." He was oblivious to the flirting-whisper-in-your-ear-thing….
"Okay." I gave up and started talking at normal volume.
By this time we were at the clearing. It was beautiful. The picture didn't leave out anything the small stream the wildlife the flowers. It was all beautiful.
"Edward. Wow. This is beautiful." I sighed and jumped of his back.
"Yeah it's my own little sanctuary." He smiled and plopped down criss-cross-applesauce. He patted the spot next to him and I plopped down as well.
"Another round of twenty questions?"
"Sure."
Twenty reviews. And you will find out what happens. What will they ask and how far will it go. I want reviews. I am getting back into this story so it might not be great im sorry. :)
