Our Little Secret

BPOV

I couldn't put it off any longer. It had been weeks since I had taken a real shower and relaxed, and more importantly, shaved my legs. But, whenever I did, I ended up cutting my legs, and I could only imagine how that would result when he smelled the blood. Edward sat across from me on my bed and stared at me, not moving.

"Edward, why don't you go home for a little while," I hinted. He looked at me questioningly.

"Why? I'm fine, you really don't need to worry about me," he said. Edward clearly didn't understand what was going on.

"Just go home for about an hour or so, I need some time to myself," I said quickly, not wanting to hurt his feeling. Thankfully, he seemed to understand.

"Alright. Whatever you plan on doing, don't hurt yourself, no one will be here to save you, not even Charlie. Be careful," he warned. Edward kissed me swiftly and then disappeared out of my window.

I knew it wouldn't take me anywhere near an hour to shower, but I gave him that time frame just to be safe. I felt bad enough when he had to be around me when it was that time of the month, and I really didn't want him to barge in on me while I was in the shower.

I stood under the steaming hot water for a few minutes, letting the steam and water jets loosen the knots embedded into my muscles. After I had washed and conditioned my hair, I ran my tiny razor over my legs. Sure enough, little beads of blood formed on my skin after each stroke. When I was done and the bleeding had stopped, I got out of the shower and dried off.

Thinking that I would be safe, I didn't bother to get dressed and walked across the hall and into my room in a damp towel. That was really dumb of me.

EPOV (Emmett)

Edward came home much earlier than we had expected him to. He said that Bella kicked him out of the house for a little while! Hah! As soon as he disappeared into his room and I heard the blaring music creeping out from under the door crack, I bolted out the front door and ran to Bella's. Her window was still open. I slipped into her room and thumped onto her bed. I could her the shower running, and I could smell blood.

Of course this concerned me, but I figured she wasn't doing anything purposely, so I let it go. Soon the water shut off and I heard her foot steps nearing the door. Bella pushed open the door, shrieked, and jumped about ten feet in the air. In the process, her towel fell off.

Bella froze, in shock. I was in shock myself. Finally, she snatched her towel up off the floor and covered herself.

"Emmett! What the hell are you doing here!?" she spluttered.

"I, uh, was just, uh, coming to check on you, cuz E-Edward said you kicked him out for a little while. I just wanted to know why," I could barely speak. Her body was amazing. I was even more surprised when she came and sat next to me on the bed.

"You tell anyone what you saw, and I will kill you myself, which will be much worse than what Edward will do to you," she said quietly. I just shook my head.

"Sorry Bells," I said quickly. "If I had known this was gonna happen, I wouldn't have come," I said, which was totally true. It felt so weird seeing someone else's body other than Rose's. Much weirder than that was that Bella's body was just as perfect as hers. Then I noticed that Bella got really quiet, and it looked like she was fighting back tears.

"Hey, I didn't mean that in a bad way Bells, take it from me, you have a great body, theres another thing to add to the list as to why Edward is as lucky as hell!" I said, trying to make her feel better.

"Emmett, you seriously have no idea how bad this is," she whispered.

"What do you mean?" I asked. I knew she was self-conscious, but not this bad.

"My soon-to-be-brother saw me naked before my soon-to-be-husband did," she said. Edward was really going to kill me now.

"You mean, you and Edward haven't ever.." my voice trailed off. Bella slapped my arm.

"No, you perv! We haven't, he thinks he will hurt me. God, this is so...Ah!" she said angrily. I figured that she might want to get dressed now.

"Sorry this happened Bells," I said.

"Yeah, give me a call if you are still alive, alright?" she asked. I squeezed her hand and then jumped through her window. Things felt really weird, like I had just found out a really big secret, which in a way was true; Bella had a beautiful body that nobody but Alice knew about. It also felt like I had just seen my sister naked, which was also completely true. I was so caught up in what had happened, I forgot to conceal my thoughts.

The closer I got to the house, I heard things breaking. I slowly opened the door, but quickly pulled back outside by a furious Edward. "You have a boat-load of explaining to do," he said icily. I told him what happened, every detail.

"Did you like it?" he asked, his tone even more livid.

"Would you rather I lied to you?" I answered in a small voice. Before I knew what was happening, I was flying through the air.

As soon as Emmett left, I scrambled to get my clothes on. Seconds after I was fully dressed, Edward knocked on my window. I looked up at him meekly.

"Hey," I mumbled. He wrapped his arms around me.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Me? Are you okay?" I asked back .I figured he would be a mess over this.

"I'm a little bit upset about it, but Emmett's an idiot, and we both know he's harmless in that sense anyway," he answered. I laughed and played with his hair. Downstairs the phone rang.

"I'll be back," I said, and then ran down the stairs and picked up the phone. "Hello?" I huffed into the receiver," there was a chuckle on the other end of the line.

"Hey Bells, I'm still alive!"
