A/N: I would really love reviews right now, no matter how long or short they are, I don't know if it's flowing right!
Still not the owner of all the Twilight deliciousness, I just like to confuse them :D
Chapter 7: Bella Moments
BPOV
We walked up to the cashier and paid for entry and for rental skates and were all getting the skates laced up and Rose got up and left. I wasn't entirely sure of the reason for her silent exit but she probably just had to go to the bathroom or something. She walked very close to Emmett and even brushed her hand on his shoulder as she left.
"Sorry," She smiled at him. He was dumbfounded.
"Hey Emmett are you guys going to just get it over with or wait for a few hours?" I asked, the break the awkward tension growing around us.
He shook off his encounter with Rose and grinned back at me. "I think we ought to wait for more victims. Plus we don't want to get kicked out before enjoying ourselves, right?"
"Right!" Alice shrieked. "So Emm, you gonna throw me today? Or should we behave ourselves?" She grinned mischievously.
"I don't think there is enough security to make me behave myself today Alice." He grinned right back.
I leaned over to Jazz, "What are they talking about?" I could hear the nerves in my voice.
"Don't worry Bella," He chuckled. "You see, every summer they spend a lot of time at rinks, frozen ponds if they vacation in the right area, wherever it's safe really, and teach themselves to do tricks. They could probably go into a competition and win at this point, but they just do it for fun." He looked down at me. "Just stay clear of the center of the rink alright? You should be safe, but they tend to freak people out by going out just a little too far and cutting them off or something. They won't make other people fall, but you just might anyway," He laughed and stood as we both finished.
"This should be fun," I laughed. "Should I tape it?" I held up the camera.
"Well they look awfully excited, they should be doing some good stunts today. Go right ahead! If you're lucky one of them will fall" He looked down at me and the look in his eyes made me think that one of them would fall, and it wouldn't be their fault.
"Hey Eddie!" Emmett shouted right in Edward's ear. Edward jumped, startled by the noise, Emmett had snuck up behind him. It was what he did next that made me wish the camera was on.
He fell.
I was the first to laugh, glad that for once it wasn't me, and everyone soon joined in. Even Rose when she got back to us.
Once we all stopped laughing and were trying to catch our breath-which of course set us off again-Edward announced it was time to get on the ice.
I turned on my camera and trained it on Emmett and Alice, hoping to get in some good shots of what they did today.
Suddenly my camera had a really good shot of the ground and I instinctively threw my hands out to catch myself, but the impact never came.
"If you are lucky no one saw that." The whisper of velvet sounded in my ear.
I turned to see who it was and saw the only person in the world who deserved to have such a gorgeous voice.
"If I hadn't caught you Emmett would've known," He promised. He gazed into my eyes for a long moment, and finally hauled me upright.
"W-well we wouldn't want that I guess," I stuttered.
"No, he chuckled, "No we would not."
With that he smiled at me and with a nod in my direction, left. He was so graceful on the ice that I had trouble regaining my train of thought.
"If he sees you staring so openly it will only inflate his ego," I heard Jazz chuckle in my ear.
"What?" I jumped, startled by the sound of his voice so close to me.
Emmett and Alice walked by and jumped right onto the ice, laughing at me the entire time.
I wasn't entirely sure what was so funny, but I decided that for now it didn't matter.
"Well sure," I replied, thinking quickly. "I just wanted to see how long it would take for his already overly inflated head to explode from his ego." I smiled and held out my hand. "Would you like to skate with me? It looks like we are the only two left and I don't want to be falling all alone," I pouted up at him.
"Well then I will just have to fall right along with you," He took my hand in his and lead me to the ice, while I tried to get the camera ready.
--
Jazz and I had been skating around for awhile, mostly talking and watching Alice and Emmett warm up, when suddenly he changed the subject completely.
We had been discussing what he should do to act like a vampire today, but suddenly he sort of stopped paying attention and began looking at me very intently.
I didn't notice what he was doing until I looked up after he didn't answer my question about how fast he could skate while still being able to stop instantly.
I noticed his silence and looked up from my screen. His eyes were so intense that I almost dropped the camera in shock! I had never seen this side of Jasper, and I had never imagined that it could exist!
For a moment I lost myself in his eyes, wondering what had gotten into him, then I saw Edward skate past him, glaring at Jasper's back. Close behind him was Rosalie, scowling towards the middle of the rink with a murderous look in her eyes.
What was up with them today?
I shook their looks out of my head and concentrated on the freak in front of me.
"Is there something in my teeth?" I asked, touching my mouth and pretending to be nervous. I really didn't want Jasper looking at me like that anyway, it was unsettling. The calming effect he usually had was replaced by my starting to feel very intense as well. He was obviously a very influential person.
He seemed to snap out of it and grinned at me. "No there is nothing in your teeth, I was just wondering why your hair smelled so strongly of strawberries," he almost looked confused, like he was kicking himself for something he said, at least that was what I looked like when I did that.
I brushed that thought off and laughed, "Well there is this crazy thing called shampoo and it cleans your hair! I have some that smells like strawberries!" I pretended like it was something completely new and original, succeeding in making him laugh.
"I should get some of that sometime," He nodded towards Emmett and Alice, who were starting to do more complex stunts now.
I watched them for a while, being more and more amazed by the self-taught stunts they had perfected.
Soon I caught my self staring at Edward and Rose, looking very cuddly while eating pretzels in the food court. Slowly the camera had been drifting towards them with my change of focus, and I only had Alice in the shot as she skated towards Emmett.
I quickly trained the camera on her and watched in awe as she jumped completely over him and split her legs while he jumped and spun three times in the air.
I suddenly wished I knew the names of all the tricks they did, because I would love to narrate this.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and nearly fell, again.
Luckily Jasper had good balance or he wouldn't have been able to catch me.
"I know your secret,"
A/N: It's a cliffhanger and I know those suck, but I just had to do it! And by the way I have to thank carmelinagunn, even though she didn't help me on purpose I was stuck on what Edward and Rosalie should be doing and eating pretzels just seemed too perfect! You should all read her story, If Every Word I Said Could Make You Laugh, and the sequel More More More because they are just too good to miss!
Reviews are money!
