Chapter 7
Edward's POV
OH MY GOD! She did it again I didn't think she could shock me again but she went and did it. She was amazing her voice her notes her soul, I was shaken from my daze by Alice asking if she had a duet that Jazz, Em or I could do with her, What! "Alice, I'm sure Bella has many songs that she wants to keep to herself still, so let her show them when she is ready" I said glaring back at the pixie "Well I do have one that I'm working on as a duet I could do with some help getting the bridge right, if you wanted to have a look?" She said while looking up at me through those lashes that draw me into her, She wanted my help, she wanted to show me her unfinished work I wanted to pick her up in my arms and hold her kissing her face and her hands those talented hands. "Um sure if you are comfortable showing it to us. "Yeah I don't mind you guys seeing my work at this stage I feel that you are people I can trust to be kind and honest about it." "Of course we are, let's see it" Said Rose, I felt strange Rose didn't usually like anyone this quick. Bella must have shown her some great work for Rose to be so upfront with her, it took Alice about a month to get her to warm up to her and me about another month longer than that.
"Edward could you help me get some more snacks from the kitchen for everyone" My thoughts were interrupted by Alice, we left the room when we got to the first floor landing Alice spun around and looked at me "You like Bella don't you?" Dam she was good "Yeah I was gonna try and talk to you about it, I need your help Alley I really like her but I don't want to be like the usual Edward fucktard Cullen around her" "I knew it, I knew it" she was dancing down the last set of stairs into the kitchen "Edward you just have to be yourself with her, not the pants dropper Edward, the real you I know is in there" "I know Alley that's what I'm trying to do, I don't want to hurt her I really like her" "Ok so this means no more of the skanks and no more playing it by ear, you have to be in this 100% no half way fuck ups, you hear me. I really like Bella I can see us being best friends and if you fuck it up I will kill you Eddie." "Alley don't call me that! My name is Edward you should know that pixie." She just giggled at me while grabbing some more food to take upstairs, I could do this after watching those skanks today and seeing James look at her I wasn't going to let anyone near enough to hurt her ever again.
Alice then shoved some boxes of food into my arms and started skipping back up the stairs. When I made it back to the third floor Emmett and Jazz were holding two of Bella's guitars while Rose was looking at one of the three drum kits it was blood red with black and chrome detail, Alice and Bella were not there "Where's the evil pixie?" Rose just pointed to the room that was off to the left of the stairs with the door now open with out looking up from the drums. "Alley came back up and demanded to see Bella's closet" Laughed Jazz, Oh great Alice will scare he into submission with a makeover I'm sure of it. I turned to put the food down on the table next to the mixer desk when I heard Alice and Bella laughing, rose had gotten up and was now moving into the room I followed her "Rose, Bella has one of the limited LV bags like ours can you believe it? Only 20 made and we three have them! We were so destined to meet, you know that Bella" Rose had moved to Bella's side and was now laughing with her as Alice started back into her walk in closet, she had a lot of clothes but I feel that she didn't pay as much attention to them as Alice did.
After40 minute clothes try on session the three girls emerged from the room to find the three of us guys playing around on the instruments, I was on the piano, Emmett was on the drums and Jazz had a 10 string Gibson and we were just playing around with a few songs, we didn't notice they were back until Bella spoke "You can all play? This is great I could get you to play with me so I can record even faster" We all stopped playing and stared at each other "REALLY BELLY RECORD ME?" Emmett boomed she started to laugh and moved over to him "Yes Em I love to have you guys help if you want" He didn't say anything he just stood up and caught her up into the biggest hug, he had the biggest smile on is face "Em.......need.........air" Bella got out while Rose started pulling him off her laughing at it, after Bella was put down she just laughed the loudest I've heard her laugh all day "Well let me get those duets sheets so we can start"
BELLA'S POV
After that first afternoon that is where we all ended up Monday through Thursday for the first two months, I have friends not just fly by friends, real true friends. It was Friday afternoon which meant we were going to someone's house for a sleepover yep that's right we were all 16 but we still had sleepovers every Friday this week we were going back to the Cullen's house. On Friday's Edward or Alice would pick me up so we could go right to their place after school, Edward was picking me up today Alice wanted to drive her new bright yellow Porsche 911 turbo, so she picked up Jazz while Edward got me. "Good morning to you Bella, are you ready for the movie fest that the pixie has organised tonight?" Edward greeted me when I got in the car "Yes we have been going over the list since Monday she is really excited for tonight for some reason." I was really unsure as to why she was everything was happening like normal, we got to school and headed for the tables in the quad that we sat at every morning waiting for each other, Alley and Jazz were there already all cuddled up they were so cute together, as we were walking up to the table my foot hit the side of the path and I started to fall I braced for impact with the sidewalk but nothing came I then felt
Two strong warm arms around my waist I looked up to see Edward's smiling face looking down at me "I know not even here 5 Min's and I'm trying to knock myself out, what can I say I'm a klutz!" I laughed to him, he just smiled at me while chuckling away when I righted myself I felt his arms fall from my waist, I felt cold and lost without him holding me but then I felt his hand in the middle of my lower back guiding me to the table, I gave a small smile back to him. Every time we touched I felt a small shock of electricity go through me from where ever he touched me, it was wonderful like it was meant to be, over the last two months I have tried to not think about how much I wanted to be held to be kissed by him, he wanted to be my friend nothing more and from what I have heard about how he used to be with girls he must be taking a break or just bored with what is here. The day passed by with out much thought to it. After last period which was study for me and Rose we all meet in the parking lot to go back to the Cullen's for the sleepover, I had put all of my things in Edwards car that morning so when we got there we showered and changed into our pj's so we could have dinner and watch movies. After we got back to the house Alice and Rose used the free bathroom and the guest bathroom then guys were getting the lounge room ready to the movies when Edward came up to me I was sitting in the
Love seat near the back door looking out at the garden. "Bella if you want to shower now you can use my bathroom if you want?" I was shocked I had been into Edwards room only twice both times I used Alley's room, he didn't like it when people were in his room and he wasn't there "Are you sure?" He just smiled at me my favourite crocked smile "Come on" He then stood from beside me I hadn't moved so he grabbed my hand and pulled me up so I was standing right beside him, he then turned and started walking towards the back stairway that lead right to the third floor he grabbed my bag from the table and started off again, he hadn't dropped my hand like he usually did so we walked up the stairs hand in hand when we got to his door he opened it, dropped my bag just inside and the turned around to face me "You can use it when ever you want, the towels are in the cupboard near the sink" He then moved to walk around me only then did he let go of my hand after a quick squeeze closing the door behind him. I was now alone in his room! WHAT THE FUCK! this was crazy I so wanted to
snoop around but I thought he would know some how so I moved to the bathroom and had my shower, but while I was in there I had to smell his shower gel and aftershave good they smelt good even his towels smelt like him, not like the ones in the guest bathroom that I used last time.
EDWARD'S POV
She didn't try to pull her hand away when I grabbed it I could feel this energy pass through our hands when ever we touched, now it was absolutely pulsing through us my hand felt like it was being shocked but it was a good feeling. I usually hated people in my room but this was Bella, My Bella. The thought of her in my room, in my bathroom naked that was it for me my brain was good for fucking nothing tonight that was for sure, and now my dick was at full attention and twitching at the thought of Bella naked. After closing the door I lent into it just wishing I could open it back up grab Bella up into my arms and hold her while kissing those perfect pink lips that she would bite between her teeth when she felt any kind of emotion it was diving me crazy I don't know how much longer I can go without making a dick out of myself and just jumping her right in the middle of everyone. By the time I got back downstairs after thinking about the Dali Lama for a good 4 minutes willing my dick to go down, Alice and Rose were sitting in the middle of the floor with about 50 different types of candy sitting around them Jazz was just coming back into the other side of the room he had wet hair showing he had just had his shower, Em was still in the shower.
"So where did you and Bella go?" Rose asked without looking up at me still sorting the candy out with a big shit eating grin on her face, Alice just started to giggle Jazz looked a little confused until Alice looked up at him and raised her eyebrows then he started. God dam I wasn't safe in my own home from them teasing me about this, just one night could they stop! "Well Bella wanted to clean up and you two took over the bathrooms so I said she could use mine, so I carried her bag up there for her" Alice and Rose dropped the candy they were holding staring at me open mouthed "What?" I asked innocently "You, you let her use your bathroom?" Stammered Rose "Edward I'm your god dammed twin and you don't let me in there!" Alice was waving her hands around to make a point I assume but it made her look crazy, so I laughed
"Alley the only reason you are not allowed in there is because you would girly it up, Your god damned bathroom is PINK! It's like a Barbie toilet bowl in there, mine is off limits to you and your lets call it style shall we" She just glared at me making a round of humph sounds crossing and uncrossing her arms Jazz threw me this 'Thanks man now she's pouting look' I just smiled back to him, she's his girl friend deal with it man. I decided to go and get cleaned up myself mom and dad would be home soon and they were bringing pizza and chinese with them for dinner, I made my way to my room I was about to just go in but I decided to knock first, when I got no answer I opened the door a little "Bella are you there can I come in?" Still no answer and I couldn't hear the shower running so I opened the door a little more and stepped in, I smelt her scent then I saw her sitting at my piano on the far side of the room. I had a black grand about one size smaller than hers, she was reading the music sheets I had there I was writing a new song she inspired but thankfully I hadn't given it the title as yet. I walked slowly over to her she was in her pj's a blue tank top and blue long leg yoga pants that clung to every one of her curves nicely her hair was up in a lose pony tail her cheeks were flushed from the shower her skin glowed like you wanted to kiss it, I kept
getting closer but she didn't hear me so I cleared my throat and touched her on the shoulder, she jumped I held onto her shoulder then so she didn't fall off the bench to the floor "I'm sorry you scared me, I didn't mean to look at your work, sorry I was just seeing what you were playing then I found that I wasn't familiar with the piece so I was reading it hearing the notes in my head it sounds wonderful, and I got distracted. Sorry" She said so fast I was sure I could have missed some of it. I chuckled lightly "It's ok, I just woke up the other night and it was in my head so I started to write it down it's still very rough but I'm glad you like it" She moved to stand up then so I took my own advice and maned up sitting down beside her wrapping myself in her sweet scent I couldn't get her out of my head. "I could use your opinion on it" I didn't let her answer I just started playing with Bella sitting beside me, she lent into me so she could turn the page for me, I nodded a thank you to her after I was done I sat there looking at the keys when I felt her arms go around my shoulders "That was beautiful Edward thank you for letting me hear it"
