Chapter 6
EPOV
The past two days, had been rather adventurous, to say the least. I'd given up on counting how many times Emmett had tried to push Rose in the pool and each time she had successfully managed to move out of the way just as he was about to; sending himself crashing into Jasper and knocking them both in the pool. I'd laughed hysterically until after the fourth time he pulled me in as well. After regaining her composure, Bella came to offer me her hand. I looked at her heart shaped face looking down at me, her chestnut eyes filled with laughter.
"Need some help?" she asked, feigning concern. I took her hand which sent electricity through my body and enquired,
"Think that's funny do you?" I yanked her arm towards me; shock registered on her feature briefly, before she fell into the crystal blue water. I stepped back in the water and watched as she spluttered and splashed in the water as she tried to right herself. I laughed, before I realised she was actually drowning. I grabbed her round the waist and pulled her close to me.
"Bella?" I asked as her head broke the surface, she looked at me with terror in her eyes.
"I can't reach the floor Edward" her eyes looking reproachfully at me
"I noticed" I told her, kissing her forehead and pulling her closer. She was adorable. Even after knowing her for a barely a day I couldn't stand it if anything happened to my Bella.
"Jesus Edward!" Emmett yelled swimming over to us, "I can't believe you nearly drowned her on your first date"
I raised my eyebrows at his choice of words; he noticed and shrugged laughing at me.
"You hypocrite Emmett, you have attempted to drown me multiple times, but luckily for me I have balance unlike Bella so am able to avoid any danger from idiots like you." Rosalie reminded him "Bella on the other hand is a walking, talking disaster zone; she would have managed to fall in the pool of her own accord, as she almost did yesterday"
I had to admit this made me fell slightly less guilty, as she really should be wrapped in bubble wrap. As Emmett swam away I felt Bella turn her head towards me.
"You're my hero!" she said looking up at me with a grin on her face. I held her away from me, confusion on my face.
"Bella dear, I almost drowned you" I said in a way that hopefully would make her realise her how sorry I was.
"It wasn't your fault. I mean 'hello' danger magnet here." She said pointing to herself, "I feel safe with you."
"Bella you're absurd!" I said and pulled her closer. She wrapped her arms round my neck our eyes met. I was intoxicated by her smile, her scent, her…everything. I lowered my face to hers, our lips only centimetres apart.
"Bella…" I whispered
Cool water saturated us; we pulled away from each other in shock, I held onto her tighter, keeping her face well away from the surface of water.
"JAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSPPPPPPPPEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!" the voice of Alice screamed, from somewhere to our right.
A second splash hit us as Jasper jumped in after her; he picked her from the water and easily held her right above the surface.
"HOW DARE YOU! THIS BIKINI IS NOT MEANT TO TOUCH WATER. IT IS VINTAGE!" she shrieked at him
"I'm sorry I felt left out" he explained sheepishly.
"I DO NOT CARE" she replied
"What is the point of having a bikini that can't touch water?" I asked Bella
"Practicality has never been one of Alice's strong points" She explained to me "Fashion is her weak point"
Jasper deposited Alice on the side of the pool and started to pull himself onto the surface, he reached halfway before Alice's foot hit him in the chest, with surprising strength, he was propelled backwards onto the surface of the pool. I laughed openly and I could feel Bella vibrating against my chest.
"It isn't funny Bella Swan" Alice yelled "Get out here now, we need to go and get changed"
"We?" Bella questioned "I want to stay with Ed-"
"Get out here NOW" she ordered
"Yes sir" Bella saluted "Give me a lift" she asked me
I walked over and placed her on the side of the pool where Alice grabbed her hand and dragged her away. I propped myself on the side of the pool.
"We'll meet you at seven for that drink" I called
"Okay" Bella replied as Alice dragged both her and Rose towards the hotel.
"Eight" Alice shouted "We have to get ready Edward"
I watched Bella's retreating figure and smiled.
"I think I can tell who's going to wear the trousers in that relationship." Emmett smiled as he rested his elbow on my shoulder. I nodded in agreement as we both looked at our startled friend.
"You can hardly talk!" I replied.
"What can I say?" Emmett said with a smirk on his face "I like a woman who can take control."
"Speaking of which, it seemed you and Bella almost lost control in the pool earlier." Jasper stated as he made his way towards us.
"Yeah the important word being almost!" I scowled.
"Sorry, I guess my timing wasn't really great was it?" Jasper agreed. I shook my head; I couldn't be angry at Jasper, he had a way of calming people.
"Don't you worry Eddie, I'm sure you'll get another chance tonight" Emmett chipped in. "Come on we best go get ready." Jasper said as he pulled himself out the pool.
"What? We've got at least 2 hours, you're starting to sound like Alice" Emmett said, shocked at the way Jasper was acting. "Be a man!"
"I'm all for manliness Emmett, but believe it or not we are still require to wash more than once a week." I said and ruffled his hair as I pulled myself out the pool.
"No, I read it somewhere that women like our natural manly musk." He retorted.
"Where the hell did you read that?" I asked incredulously.
"In the woman's bible Edward…Cosmo." Emmett explained turning rather pink Jasper and I both broke out into hysterics.
"Stop laughing, I got bored at the gym and there was nothing else to read!" he argued.
"Now who's the woman?" Jasper chuckled.
Emmett growled at us and stalked off to the hotel.
Aww… we do love Emmett he is our own BFG. We LOVE Edward though, he is so so sweet.
