Chapter 7

---Normal POV---

Esme walked through the door to see Mr Greene sitting at his desk signing some documents. He looked up and smiled. She walked over and sat down in front of his desk.

Meanwhile, outside the Cullens were getting ready to watch the show.

"Quick everyone, she's about to start!" Jasper whispered, peering through the window.

"This is gonna be good" Emmett grinned. They all crouched in front of the window to watch.

"Mr Greene" Esme smiled. She could hear his heart stutter. "I am so very sorry about the way my children behaved earlier. It embarrasses me that they acted that way." Esme said. She could hear her family behind the door sniggering quietly. She heard Emmett say:

"Look, he's practically already on his knees hailing her." Esme tried not to laugh at that one. She turned back to Mr Greene.

"Mr Greene, may I ask you something?" she asked, fluttering her eyelashes. His heart sped up to a hundred miles an hour.

"O-of course Mrs Cullen" he stuttered, "Say anything you like"

"Well," Esme got up and walked around to Mr Greene's side of the desk, "you are a very respectable man," she paused, leaning forward to whisper in his ear, "and I was wondering if you might be able to do me a favour?" her sweet breath was intoxicating and Mr Greene was putty in her capable hands.

"Anything for you, Mrs Cullen" he replied quietly, manipulated by her charm. Esme moved her lips so they were brushing against his cheek when she spoke, and put her had on his shoulder, tracing invisible patterns. His heart was racing so fast and he was a deep crimson in the face.

"I was wondering, if you might be able to spare my children of their punishment. Of course, I completely respect your decision, whatever it may be, but I was really hoping you would reconsider. They didn't mean any harm" as Esme said that, she heard her family suppress a laugh at how easily she was changing Mr Greene's mind, "so please Mr Greene, for me, please let them off this one time, and I promise it wont happen again" she whispered seductively. He was speechless. Finally, he let out some nearly incomprehensible words.

"Y…y…yes, Mrs Cullen. I…I can certainly do that for you. I'll make sure it doesn't go on their record and they will not have to do their punishment." He stammered.

"Mr Greene, you are such a kind man" Esme smiled, stepping back from him and walking around to the other side of the desk.

"Whatever makes you happy Mrs Cullen. I'm glad I could help you in that way." He looked after her with wonder as she walked out the door. Wow, he thought to himself.

---BPOV---

"Wooh! Go mom!" Emmett whistled as Esme walked out the office door. Carlisle wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.

"Settle down Emmett" Esme chided.

"Go mom that was so cool. I think I'll try it sometime" Rose said. I could imagine that Rose already did that.

"No you definitely will not." Esme said, staring at her surrogate daughter, "That is only to be used when it is really needed. It's not fair to them manipulating the humans like that." Esme said.

"Imagine how I feel" I muttered. They all chuckled. "Oh come on! You all do that to me! Seriously, you don't know how annoying it is sometimes!" I ranted.

"Actually babe, I do know how you feel when I do that to you" Jasper said, wrapping his arms around me and kissing me persuasively. I gave in and kissed him back. NO! I thought, realising he was trying to make a point about manipulating me. I pushed back on his chest, hard.

"Ugh! Stupid vampires!" I said, frustrated, walking a few steps off before Jasper caught me.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't do that. It's not fair to you" He said apologetically, gazing into my eyes. I was being dazzled again.

"STOP! Ugh! Stop dazzling me! You vamps really gotta stop doing that! It bugs me that I can't do it!" I said, exasperated. They all laughed at me. I was grumbling when Alice interrupted me.

"Bella, we're sorry, but we really can't help it. We know you have low self esteem because you can't do the things we do but really, you're so powerful. Who would've thought a human would be able to capture the hearts of seven crazy vampires!" When Alice said that, Emmett grumbled at the crazy part.

"And, what human would be brave enough to jump in the middle of vampires fighting and try and pull them off each other when they could easily bring back their hand or throw their head back and they could kill you!" Edward said. That was when Carlisle cut in.

"Yes Isabella, about that" he said, walking over to me and putting his hands on my shoulders and staring into my eyes. Oh no, I'm in trouble, he called me Isabella, I thought. "You will never ever try and stop any vampires from fighting ever again. I don't care how much you're worrying, just never do it again! They could have hurt you so easily and your mother and I wouldn't be able to have that on our conscience. Understood?" He meant well, but I was getting annoyed.

"Yeesh dad, I understand. Don't get so worked up about nothing!" he stared at me incredulously.

"Bella, I swear you'll kill me one day. How can you even think about putting yourself at risk like that?" He was getting frustrated.

"Dad," he didn't seem to be listening, "Dad," I tried again, but he still looked distracted from his ranting. The others were trying not to laugh. "CARLISLE CULLEN!" I yelled, finally gaining his attention. The others were all laughing so hard Carlisle was getting annoyed.

"Yes?" He asked, trying to stay calm.

"Look, I'm sorry okay? But you can't keep treating me like a little girl. I know you mean well, but the whole demanding thing isn't working for me. Unlike all of you, I do have hormones that sometimes seem to control my mood, which you all know. So please dad, let me do what I want" I asked sweetly fluttering my eyelashes in an attempt to persuade him.

"Ugh! Alright! But don't do the whole eyelashes thing anymore. It's cute but annoying!" he sighed exasperatedly.

"Now you know how I feel" I smiled. "Thanks daddy, I love you." I said hugging him. I really meant it too. He kissed my head then pulled back. Alice and Edward seemed to be enjoying the taste of each others lips and Emmett and Rose were doing the same. Esme had her hand on Jasper's shoulder and they were both watching our father-daughter moment. Jasper's hair had gone crazy, it had all fallen in his eyes and the blonde curls were going everywhere. I smiled and walked over to him.

"Jazzy, Jazzy, Jazzy. What am I going to do with you?" I was grinning and pulling at his hair as he stared at me incredulously. My fingers combed through his hair, pulling it out of his eyes and I stood up on tip toe so I could reach his frozen lips. I tried to force a response out of his which he soon did. His tongue traced my bottom lip asking for entrance which I granted him immediately. My hands memorised his face and his did likewise. Our tongues were exploring each other's mouths and I was enjoying his amazing taste when a few throats cleared behind us. I froze. I had forgotten we had an audience and the way I was wrapped around Jasper right now probably wasn't very appropriate in public.

"I think we should go home now, since the final bell has gone and people are starting to come out of their last classes." Carlisle stated. Suddenly Emmett grabbed me from Jasper's arms and swung me up on his shoulders.

"Let's go!" Emmett commanded, heading in the direction of the parking lot. The problem is it's at the other end of the campus, so we had walk through all of the hallways where people would stare before we could get to the car. Jasper walked alongside Emmett with me on his shoulders so he could talk to me.

"So Bella, how's the view up there?" Jasper asked, teasing.

"The view won't be as good now!" Emmett said, dumping me on Jasper's shoulders. He grabbed me before I fell.

"Thanks Jazzy" I said, and bent over and kissed his head. Emmett grabbed Rose by the waist and lifted her onto his shoulders.

"Emmett!" she complained.

"Shut up Rose. Complaining won't do anything 'cause you're not getting down" He grinned. She kissed his head.

"Fine then, I won't complain" she smiled. Emmett walked next to me and Jazz and I grabbed Rosalie's hand and squeezed it.

"It's like riding a pony" I giggled.

"Thanks Bella, compare us to horses" Emmett rolled his eyes.

"No offence to horses" Rose giggled and I grinned.

"Edward, man! Come on, lift her up!" Emmett hollered.

"Don't you dare Edward" Alice warned, but it was too late. He threw her up on his shoulders and caught up with us. I grabbed Alice's hand with my other hand and all us girls grinned. The people in the corridors were staring, but didn't comment because our parents were about fifteen feet behind us.

"This is fun-" I said but when I looked behind I was embarrassed at the sight, "Oh man! Parents are so embarrassing!" I complained.

"Why?" Jasper asked but at that moment we all looked behind. Carlisle and Esme were standing right in the middle of the hall making out. We all groaned. Kids were staring as they moved off to go home.

"Carlisle!" Emmett hollered, "What did we say about kissing in public?" Carlisle was clearly embarrassed when he pulled back and saw his children and plenty of other kids staring. Esme wore the same look. All of us laughed at our parents. It wasn't like either of them to show public displays of affection and were seriously embarrassed at Emmett's remark.

"Nice, Emmett, now they're definitely going to kill us" I moaned as we reached the parking lot.

"Naw, well, not here at least. They wouldn't want to make a show." Edward said.

"Kids" Carlisle called out, "we're going home now okay so you can come once you've figured out the driving arrangements" he said, the led his wife to his expensive car and drove away.

"Edward and I will take the Volvo and you can take the jeep" Alice said, jumping of Edwards back and leading him towards the car.

"Oh, oh! Can I drive?" I asked excitedly.

"No way Bella! You can't drive! You'd get us in an accident for sure!" Emmett laughed. I pouted.

"Don't take it personal darlin', it's just none of us want to see you hurt" Jazz whispered, kissing my forehead.

"I guess" I shrugged.

"I'll drive" Rose said, reaching for the keys in Emmett's pocket.

"Uh, uh, uh. Sorry babe. My car, I drive." Emmett stated. I could see people watching our little debate but I didn't care.

"I think you should let Rose drive" I said. Rosalie smiled at me.

"No, don't worry about it Bella, my man can drive if he wants" Rose said, winking at me before pulling Emmett in for a kiss. She pulled him in by the waist and while he was so absorbed in the kiss, she reached in his pocket for the keys. Victoriously, she held them up in front of his face before spinning on her heel and walking to the driver's side of the jeep. Jasper and I chuckled as we walked to the car and hopped in. Emmett followed behind, annoyed.

"I'm gonna get you Rosalie Cullen" he warned, getting in the passenger side.

"Oh come on baby you know you love me" she smiled at him. He rolled his eyes and she started up the car and drove towards home. Jasper trailed kisses up and down from my temple to my jaw on the silent ride home. I thought about what had happened this afternoon. Carlisle and Esme needed a break. They loved each other so much but never had any time to show it, with Carlisle always working and them both keeping us out of trouble. We needed to give them some alone time or they would crack. Carlisle had been cranky lately, not his usual calm self.

"What are you thinkin' about so hard darlin'?" Jasper asked curiously, just as we pulled up near the house and Emmett turned off the car.

"That" I pointed. Carlisle had Esme pushed up against the wall of the house running his hands down her arms and kissing her hard. She was responding with just as much force, tracing her tongue over his lips. Emmett covered my eyes.

"Bella, keep your innocence" he said in a mock tone, "you shouldn't have to see our parents this way" Emmett teased. We got out of the car and Alice and Edward were right behind us, walking up to the door. "Okay Carlisle, Esme, break it up. Poor Bella's going to get a migraine" Emmett said with false alarm. Esme pushed Carlisle back, looking extremely annoyed. Emmett walked past them and was about to enter the house when Esme grabbed the collar of his shirt and yanked him backwards. He lost his balance and came crashing down on the porch. Jasper grabbed me out of the way just in time. We were all laughing that Esme had just pulled down the massive Emmett.

"Mom! What was that for?" Emmett shrieked.

"Sorry Emmett. But you aren't about to walk into that house and watch TV. You and the rest have chores to do. Emmett, you will be doing gardening-" She got cut of when Emmett complained.

"What? I can't do gardening! No way!" Emmett yelled. I snorted. I could just imagine Emmett doing gardening.

"That is why I'll be asking Rosalie to help you with that job, since you can't tell a weed from an actual plant. Is that okay Rose?" Esme asked, sounding tired.

"Sure" Rose shrugged.

"Good. Edward, you can do washing and Alice will help you do that, Jasper, you and Bella will be doing just main housework like dishes, sweeping etcetera. Okay?" We all nodded. "Now, if I find any of you getting distracted from your chores by you partners I will move you so that you aren't together. Is that understood?" she asked. Again we all nodded.

"Okay, go do your chores, Esme and I will be in our room." Carlisle said, then took his wife's hand and went inside.
