BPOV
I woke up the next morning feeling…cold. Last night in the car I had fallen asleep next to Edward and he had carried me to my room once we got home. I missed having his hand in mine and being wrapped in his arms.
I laughed…like he would really be interested in me.
I got up and pulled on a pair of jeans, a plain white t-shirt and my navy blue jacket.
Rose and Alice would be here soon to pick me up so we could meet the guys at their house. Apparently they had to get a couple things to get ready for the "fun" activity they had planned today. I kept bugging Edward to tell me what we would be doing but he always answered, "Don't worry about it." Emmett told me that it was nothing any of us girls had done though. That worried me.
I hopped in the backseat behind Alice when they got to my house and we made our way to the Cullen's.
Their house was incredible!! It was a couple miles out of Forks and hidden behind a thick curtain of trees. It resembled a modern version of a castle. It was perfect.
Rosalie pulled up in front of the garage as the door was lifting.
"HEY!" Emmett waved.
As soon as I got out of the car Edward peeked his head around from the back of the jeep.
"Hey Bella." He winked and started walking over to me.
"Edwardd.." I whined," are you going to tell me what we're doing yet?"
"Nope," and then flashed a toothy grin at me.
"Ugh…boys." I mumbled.
"Alright troops file in!" Emmett ushered us in the Jeep.
Rose took shotgun beside Emmett, followed by Edward and me in the middle and Jasper and Alice in the back.
Edward started buckling a whole bunch of straps around me.
"What is all this?"
"It's just the off-roading harness."
"Off-roading?!" I gaped at him.
"Relax, I wouldn't put you in any danger Bella…besides, that's what the harness is for."
"Alright Cullen, I'm trusting you." I shot him a stern look.
He quickly strapped on his own harness and told Emmett we were ready to go.
"So where are we off-roading to?" Alice asked.
"We're not really off-roading, it's more like mudding." Emmett answered.
"Huh?" all three of us girls faced him confused.
"What is mudding? I will not be participating if you plan on getting me all muddy!" Rose shouted at Emmett.
"Chill girls! Mudding is when you stay inside the jeep and we drive down some muddy roads and…it's hard to explain, just wait and see but I promise you won't get dirty."
"Okay good." Rose sighed, relieved.
Emmett drove into the forest until we were met by a series of goopy brown paths.
"Everyone ready?" Emmett turned around in his seat.
I gulped, "Mhmm…"
Edward and Jasper were just casually sitting in their seats like it was nothing, while Alice clung to Jasper's arm, I made sure my harness was fastened, and Rose nervously scanned the pathway we would be driving around on soon.
Emmett slammed on the gas and we shot forward, he turned the wheel sharply to the left and the back end whipped to the right. Then our speed increased as we climbed a fairly large hill, we reached the top going about 85 mph and started to descend. Emmett hit the brakes abruptly and the Jeep started swerving and turning every way. I quickly shut my eyes so I at least couldn't watch Emmett attempt to murder us all.
I felt the Jeep come to a stopped and I opened one eye looking around. All three of the Cullen boys were hysterically laughing while Alice and Rose were in similar positions as myself.
I looked down and noticed I had latched my hand around Edward's. I blushed for a second before I realized what we had just done.
"ARE YOU FREAKING INSANE!?!" I screamed.
They all just kept laughing and wiped the tears from their eyes.
"SERIOUSLY YOU COULD HAVE FLIPPED THE DAMN THING!!" Rosalie added.
They laughed harder.
Alice tried to get their attention, "GET OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT EMMETT! I'M TAKING US BACK NOW!"
That did it.
"No way Alice." Emmett suddenly turned serious.
"Come on, girls you have to admit that was fun." Jasper tried to calm us down.
"Yeah and plus you should have-haha-seen your-hahaha-faces-ha!" Edward wasn't helping.
I turned to Alice and Rose and gave them the 'look' notifying them to start the silent treatment. They gave me a nod and we all turned to face forward.
"So you thought it was fun right?" Jasper asked.
"…"
"Did you at least think it was entertaining?" he tried again.
"…."
"Really that bad?" this time it was Edward, and he grabbed my hand rubbing circles on the back of it. It took all of me to not forgive him right there.
"….."
"Girls?" Emmett waved a hand in front of Rose's face.
"First of all," Rosalie spoke up, "I do not appreciate you waving your big hand half an inch from my face," as she slapped it away. "Second, that wasn't very fun because we had no idea what the heck you were doing!"
Edward still had my hand in his and I swiftly pulled it away and gave him a 'what she said' nod.
"I told you it wouldn't be dangerous Bella." He said softly.
"Yes you did but you could have at least warned me what was coming."
He just looked at me apologetically.
"Can we please just get out of here now?" Alice asked a little annoyed.
"Sure thing." Emmett pulled out of the muddy trail and we all sat silently looking ahead on the way back to their house.
We parked in the garage. There was a beautiful woman standing by the entrance to the house who I assumed was Edward's mother.
Edward silently unbuckled all the clasps from the harness for me and I bolted out the door of the death trap I used to call the Jeep.
"Hello dear, you must be Bella." Edward's mother came towards me.
"Yes, hi ." I shyly waved.
"Oh please call me Esme," she waved her hand dismissively "Isn't your mother on the activity committee with me, Renee?"
"Yes that's her." I smiled.
"I thought so," she seemed to be thinking about something else but quickly changed the subject. "So where did the boys take you?"
By this time Rose and Alice had joined me.
"They decided it was a good idea to go mud-roading or something like that." Alice answered before me.
"MUDD-ING!" Emmett corrected from the other side of the death trap.
"Oh my! And you agreed?" She asked shocked.
This time Rose answered, "No they didn't actually tell us what was going on!" she yelled over her shoulder towards them.
"Emmett Dale! Jasper Kyle! And Edward Anthony! Get yourselves over here now!" She called.
They quietly shuffled over to stand in front of Esme.
"Did you tell these girl what exactly mudding entailed before you showed them?"
"No…" they all said together staring at their shoes.
I looked at Alice and Rose and they were smirking at the boys.
Serves them right! They should have at least warned us we would be sliding all over the place…
"Have you apologized to them yet?" Esme asked.
"Sorry…" they replied still studying the floor.
"Look them in the eyes and say it like you mean it boys." Esme scolded.
They looked up and it was so hard not to laugh. They reminded me of when a little kid got caught stealing the last cookie or feeding their vegetables to the dog.
"Sorry girls." They said together once again.
I sighed, "I guess I forgive you…but only if you promise to always tell us exactly what you are planning from now on."
"Fine…" they all huffed and filed inside.
As soon as the door clicked, informing us it had closed, all four of us burst into hysterics.
"Esme, that was hilarious!" Alice praised her in a squeaky voice, still laughing.
